Spectators, many of them business
men of the cities, in many cases
have reaped big profits by buying and
resellihg without making any sub
stantial contribution IN return. Farm
ers have sold land at prices that
seemed high, and then have bought
again at still higher figures, losing
thousands of dollars in the exchange.
The bona fide farmer VINO purchases
land at present high prices may find
the returns on his investment
abnormally small if earnings should
decline when normal conditions are
restored, and may ind himself SER
iously embarrassed if he has financed
That is summary of the situation
the purchase largely on credit.
as it is viewed by Investigators of
the Bureau of Farm Management
sent by the department into the
regions Of most marked speculative
activity. Here is summary Of their
advice which is broadly applicable to
the majority of farmers in the
regions affected, though it may not
fit every individual case.
Much of the resent speculative
activity has been due to the fact that
spectators have been able to catch
some farmers unawares, buying their
farms at much lower figure than
was justified in relation to prices in
adjoining regions. Therefore you
should be careful about selling to a
speculator who is buying to sell
again. 1t is is worth more to him it
probably may be worth more to you.
If you own farm and desire to con-
tinue farming be ver- sure before
selling that you can obtain out of
the proceeds of your sale as good a
farm as you have sold.
If you desire to purchase a farm
you should be very sure that the price
you pay is fully justified by the
probable net earnings Of the farm
when conditions become more normal.
Be careful that the buyer Of your
farm is able to complete his payment
on March first in case he fails to re-
sell. In general it is safe to require
an initial cash payment of one-third
the sale price.
Be cautious about specializing
yourself. Especially do not buy on a
narrow cash margin with the ex-
pectation that you will be able to
sell and obtain the necessary means
of settling your contract. You may
not be able to effect a sale. A land
"boom" may collapse suddenly.

VERY CRITICAL HOUSING con-
DlIIONS.

The housing proposition is a very
serious problem in Sank Centre. For
a number OF years there has been an
insufficient number OF houses to
accommodate those who desired to
move here. The Herald is reliably
informed that there are now no less
than fourteen families who will be
compelled to vacate the places IN
which they are now residing October
first, and that there is no available
places for them to move into. These
families are desirable residents and
some Of them will be compelled to
move elsewhere, much against their
natural inclination.
Most cities the size Of Sank Cen
tire have building aGd loan assocla-
tions organized primarily to develop
the community. Where the associa-
tons have been properly organized
they have not only made it possible
for many renters to become home
owners ;they have developed the COM
munity, and finally they are mighty
good business investments for those
owning stock in them.
Just before the abnormal prices
resulting from the war period nearly
so modern homes were erected in this
city within year. The pessimist was
certain at that time that there were
more houses than would be needed
for long period of time. Yet today
the city stands to lose a number of
desirable citizens solely because Of
inadequate housing conditions. These
families have passed the stage where
they are unnecessarily particular
about the sort of a house they live in
they simply can't find anything,
good, bad or Indifferent.
Sank Centre is ideally situated as
a place for travelling men to reside.
One of them has bee. compelled to
move away because he cannot find
living place. Many others would 10
cate here if living quarters were
available.
This city is famous all over the
northwest because of its comfortable
homes and well kept grounds. The
splendid schools are :. magnet which
draw people here. Yet they cannot
come.
To the Herald it appears that the
men of means of this city are very
short sighted if they do not set about
and erect a good number of medium
priced residences within the shortest
possible time. Naturally this will
mean an expanding of the city's ter
ritory and the construction of addi-
tional water mains, sewers, and side
walks. If these improvements are
made it also means large increase
in the city's volume of business.
The Herald has faith in the city for
Sank Centre, and we are firmly con-
WINGED that if 100 comfortable houses
were available for use in this city
tomorrow morning they would be oc-
cupied by desirable citizens, many
of whom would be newcomers, with
in a comparative short time.
1t is high time for the business
men of the city to wake up to the
seriousness of the housing situation.

THE GREAT BETRAYAL.

The President began, in his
original draft of a League Covenant,
by offering to sacrifice the Monroe
Doctrine and the domestic independ-
ence of the United States, as the
price which he was willing to pay for
an arrangement which would enable
him to pose and preen as president
of the World"
Now he objects to reservations of
amendments of the Treaty, not be-
cause other nations would reject
them, but because they would so i'm
pair his personal prestige as to
destroy his chances of being chosen
president of the World"
Therefore he utters his sullen and
stodgy boast, "This Treaty or no
treaty" and threatens to burke the
Treaty and balk the making of peace
unless he can be made president of
the World" For the qualification OF
his insatible ambition and over-ween-
ing egotism he would first sacrifice
the vital interests and integrity of
his own country, and then would
menace with defeat the peace-mak-
ing efforts and desires of all the
world.
Was there ever a more execrable
exhibition of moral treason to the
nation and to humanity ?-Harper's
Weekly.
If the Republicans want to
make certain the reelection of
President Wilson all they have to
do is to go ahead with their pro-
gram to defeat the League of
Nations That would force Will
son to again be a candidate and
on that issue there would be no
question as to the result.-St.
Cloud Times.
Force nothing. His jambouring de-
luxe about the country at the present
time at the peoples expense, is for

U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRI-

DANGER IN LAND INCREASE

Washington, D. c., Sept. 15-Prices
of farming lands in many sectionsgof
the United States, especially in Iowa
and tn eother Corn Belt States, have
risen with such rapidity that serious
consequences may be expected, es-
pecially with the return Of normal
conditions. This is warning to farm
ers issued by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.

the third term. And by the way, it
isn't only republicans who refuse to
fall for his league of nations dope,
but the really big men in his own
party. Of course there are not SO
many of them, consequently the op-
position from the democratic source
is not as strong or as numerous as
it is among the republican statesmen.
If Wilson should run again watch the
much boosted "solid south" go bluey.
Monday was field day in the United
States senate for the members of
President Wilson's party. Several of
them, led by Senator Reed of Mis-
souri,, numerically f1ayed the presi-
dent Leaguae of Nations program.
Telling shots by Mr.. Reed were: "He
makes a speech declaring his own
opinion and the next day asserts that
his own speech is a solemn instruction
by the people which he is dutifully
carrying into effect" He hears
the echo of his own words and the
next day proclaims them the words
of God" Perhaps Senator Johnson
wasn't so far wrong when he stated
a few days ago that in sixty days not
one of the senators would dare to
vote for the ratification of the peace
treaty in it's present shape.
In the early days of the first Viii
sonian administration the New York
Times became the official spokesman
of the President. For the purpose of
attempting to find just where the
president has stood relative to the
war since August, 1914, his utter
ances published in the Times have
been carefully checked up to and in
Guiding the issue Of Dec. 26, 1918.
The records disclose that the Presi-
dent has fatty contradicted himself
in important statements no less than
IA times. And this was before he had
had been wined and dined by the
pomp and power Of the old world.
The very enthusiastic reception
given Grand Master Hiram by. the
people of the middle west, in his
follow-up of President Wilson, would
almost make the administration
hangers-on realize that the American
people strenuously oppose the presi-
dents plan to turn the United States,
body and breeches, over to the
European nations. Being enwrapped
in haze of his own ego it is quite
natural that Mr.. wilson cannot sense
the true American sentiment.

Clt1flnli1s Rail Bill
Under Heavy Fire
On Senate FI00,

WASHINGTON, Dec. IS (By The As
sociated Press. Sharp opposition to
some of the provisions of the Cum
mins railroad return bill was ex-
pressed in the debate in the Senate to-
day and tonight. Senator Poindexter.
Republican, Washington. attacked the
proposal under which the Interstate
commerce Commission would be au-
tthorized in special cases to permit a
lower charge for long haul than for
short haul, while Senator Frelinghuy-
sen, Republican, New Jersey. argued
provision should be made for assisting
the roads in financing their Immediate
needs after the return. To that end
ne offered an amendment to permit
them to borrow from the government
out Of $4,000 900 revolving fund.
During the day the National Grange
made public letter sent to Senator
Cummins urging that there be no fur
ther delay in passing the railroad
legislation, and opposing any guaran-
tee of dividends by the government.
Senator Underw God insisted that Con
gress must legislate without DELAY or
else endanger the entire transporta-
tion system of the country. Taking
note of the contention that the bill
would increase freight rates, he de-
clared there would be an increase
even If the government held the roads.

Wiener Rallies
After Operation:
Writes to Uncle
Globe Trotter,
Who Shot Himself i'm
Suicide Attempt Here,
Has Chance for Recovery

Captain Clarence L. Wiener, globe
trotter and millionaire, who shot him
self below the heart at the Hotel I'M
perlal Monday night, has a chance for
life, 1t was said at the New York Hos
pital yesterday
Following an operation performed
yesterday morning, he regained con-
sciousness and was sufficiently mas
ter of himself to dictate a brief note
to his uncle, j. L. Ketterlnus, of Phil
adelphia. In this. he is said to have
expressed sorrow for the statements he
IS alleged to have made concerning Mr.
Ketterllnus in letter, which he is said
to have written just before he attempt
ed to take his own life. A telegram
for Captain Wiener was received a. the
hospital last night, but the authorities
would not say whether or not it was
in response to his letter
According to friends. Captain Wiener
inherited an estate of about So 600 900
in his sixteenth year but lived in such
lavish style in England and elsewhere
that he ran through most of it. The
mans effort to kill himself is puzzling
to his friends, for. they say, he was
not penniless by any means.
In his room a the Hotel Imperial the
police found bonds and securities
worth $4,000. 1t was also learned yes
tciudy tNat ne mas lnlrtE- one trunks a
the Waldorf Astoria, which are being
retained, it is said by the manage
ment until he has paid his bill These,
1t is said contain clothes, jewelry,
souvenirs and other personal effects,
worth at least s125,OO0.
W. Orton Tewson and H. Swaffer,
friends of Captain Wiener, called at
the hospital yesterday. Mr.. Tewson
said that he had seen the captain not
more than two hours before he at
tempted to kill himself. The man, ne
related, dropped in at Mr.. Tewson's
Office, 1874 West Thirty-sixth Street, in
iovial mood and asked if there was
any mail for him.
Mr. Tewson gave him a letter that
had been left there for him, and after
reading it Captain Wiener left the
Office without another word
Mr.. Swafer, in discussing the
wounded mans financial condition, said
that his chief difficulty had been in
obtaining ready cash. He had sent,
it was said, another frined, Major H.
A. Lowe, to Philadelphia two days be
fore he tried to kill himself, instruct
ing the major to see Mr.. ketterlinus
and persuade him to give financial
assistance. 1t is believed that the let
ter in question was from Major Lowe
reporting the failure of his mission.

with these fires.
In the cases of the Prinz Hubertus
and the Swakopmund, from Australia.
and India, fire is believed to hay,

ships were bunkered with coal from Aus
tralia, South Africa and India. an.
this fuel proved ready prey for the
