The offer made by his attorney, P. d. Smith,

From her chair on the witness stand, Ruth sat
with bowed head and trembling hands. Storrs also
sat with downcast eyes and if anything, his pale
face grew whittier.
The state rested its at 10 o'clock Saturday

still higher figures, losing thousands
of dollars in the exchange. The bona
fde farmer who purchases land at
present high prices may find the re-
turns on his investment abnormally
small if earnings should decline when
normal conditions are restored, and
may find himself seriously embarrass-
ed if he has financed the purchase
largely on credit.
That is summary Of the situation
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 probably
to the majority of farmers in the re-
gions affected, though it may not it
every individual case:
Much of the present speculative &C
tivity 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
Spectator who is buying to sell again.
If it is worth more to him it probably
may be worth more to you. If you
own a farm and desire to continue
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1919-09-19

farming be very sure before selling
that you can obtain out of the pro-
ceeds of your sale as good 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 prob
able 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 your
self. Especially do not buy on mar
row cash margin with the expectation
that you will be able to sell and obtain
the necessary means of settling your
contract. You may not be able to eff
feet sale. A land "boom" may COL
lapse suddenly.

DANGER IN RAPIDLY
RISING LAND PRICES

Washington, D. c., Sept. 15.-Pric-
es Of farming lands in many sections
of the United States, especially in
Iowa and the other Corn Belt States,
have risen with such rapidity that Sc
rious consequences may be expected,
especially with the return OF normal
conditions. This is warning to farm
ers issued by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
Spectators, many of them business
men of the cities, in many cases have
reaped big profits by buying and re-
selling without making any substan-
tal contribution in return. Farmers
have sold land at prices that seemed
high, and then have bought again at

THE DUTY THE INDIVIDUAL
OWES TO HIS GOVERNMENT
BY Frances n. Coglin.

Over across the rolling Atlantic
midst the scenes of the greatest de-
vastation that has ever visited the
earth-a dazed and injured people are
reeling to their feet. With the hor-
rors Of the past suffering still alive
within their hearts, they turn their
hopeful faces and untiring efforts to-
wards the horizon of peace. Over
come by their great losses--losses
such as America did not know they
have yet within their souls the feel
ing to bring their beloved lands back
to peace prosperity. The realization
comes to each individual that he must
again take up arms" and be united
in the great work of Thrift and Saw
ing.
The people of France with their in
domitable courage are doing it. An
appeal from the Government Of Eng
land has long since gone out through
that great empire, calling the popu-
lace to the absolute necessity of MAX
ing this great effort, asking all TO
work in unison to bring prosperous Or
der out Of war time chaos and main
tain the aGe-time solidarity of that
Kingdom.
Shall we of America allow the ma
tions that were shaken to their very
foundations and lost thousands where
we lost tens, to surpass us in this
work of reconstruction Shall we
show less patriotism than they by a
half-hearted interest in the welfare
of our country?
Thrift is the sister to wholesome,
sane living. Saving is the keynote to
substantiability. AS neighbors, we
welcome thrifty people for we know
they make law-abiding citizens and
desirable associates.
Let every American educate MINI
self in those qualities-Thr1ft and

Cole Announces New
. All-Season Models

In announcing it's new all-season
cars, the Cole Motor Car Company
presents a series of automobiles which
afford distinctly new advantages in
enclosed car design.
They are marked Improvement
over the conventional types of the past
and give to the enclosed equipage char
acteristics which formerly were asso-
ciated only with cars of the open type.
There are six models in the line of
Cole Aero-Eight all-season cars = the
Sportsedan. the Sportcoupe, the Tourse-
dan. the Tourosine and the Towncar.
The obvious newness of these six
cars, which more than substantiate
Coles reputation for building automo-
biles which are a bit ahead of the
times, is revealed in the flush panel
construction employed throughout. This
eliminates the overhanging of the
superstructure, adds strength to the
design of the cars. eliminates perma-
nently many of the inherent limitations
of enclosed car use and introduces a
new beauty of line that is instantly
appreciated.
In appointments. the new Aero Eight
all-season cars are a decided departure
by way of completeness. Automatic
window regulators are used throughout
and so cleverly are the glass panels
installed that they may be dropped
down into the lower body panels and
the cars thrown almost completely open
for summer driving. Other refinements
are numerous. The upholstery is in
mohair velvet and in every case is of
color to harmonize with the exterior
finish of the car.

but we cook EN-" said Dorothy
triumphantly.
What difference does that make?"
"a good DEAL" said the GIRL in a
graver tone. II can't just 'splain the
diff ff'rence. but it's there. And, anyhow,
we never eat such dreadful things as
bugs"
But you eat the chickens that eat
the bugs" retorted the yellow hen,
with an odd cackle. 80 you are just
as bad as we chickens are"
This made Dorothy thoughtful. What
Billina said was true enough, and 1t
almost took away her appetite for
breakfast. AS for the yellow hen, she
continued to peek away at the sand
busily, and seemed quite contented with
her bill-of-fare.
Finally, down near the waters edge,
Billna stuck her bill deep into the
sand, and then drew back and shiv-
cred.
"Ow!" she cried. II struck metal,
that time, and it nearly broke my
beak."
othy, carelessly
Nonsense, l know a rock from
metal. 1 guess" said the hen. There's
a different feel to it,"
But there couldn't be any metal
on this wild. deserted seashore," per-
sisted the girl. Where's the place
I'll dig it up, and prove to you I'm
right"
Billina showed her the place where
she had "stubbed her BILL" as she ex-
pressed it, and Dorothy dug away the
sand until she felt something hard.
Then, thrusting in her hand, she pulled
the thing out, and discovered it to be
large sized golden key-rather old,
but still bright and of perfect shape.
What did 1 tell you? cried the hen
with cackle of triumph. Can 1 tell
metal when 1 bump into it, or is the
thing a rock?"
Its metal, sure enough" answered
the child, gazing thoughtfully at the
curious thing she had found. II think

But my feet are all wet and soggy."
said the girl, MY dress is dry enough
but l won't feel real comfor' able till |
get my feet dried"
She waited, however, as the hen ad-
Vised, and before long the big wooden
coop grated gently on the sandy beach
and the dangerous voyage was over
1t did not take the castaways long
to reach the shore, you may be sure.
The yellow hen flew to the sands at
once, but Dorothy had to climb over
the high Stats. Still, for a country girl,
that was not much of a feat and as
soon as she was safe ashore Dorothy
drew off her wet shoes and stockings
and spread them upon the sun warmed
beach to dry.
Then she sat down and watched
Billina, who was pick -peeking away
with her sharp bill in the sand and
graVel which she scratched up and
turned over with her strong claws.
What are you doing?" asked Dor
othy.
Getting my breakfast of course. &"
murmured the hen, busly peeking
away.
What do you find?" inquired the
girl, curiously.
"Oh. some fat red ants, and some
sand-bugs and once in a while a tiny
crab. They are very sweet and nice,
1 assure you"
How dreadful exclaimed Dor
othy, in shocked voice.
What is dreadful?" asked the hen,
lifting her head to gaze with one
bright eye at her companion.
why, eating live things, and horrid
bugs, and crawly ants. You ought to
be shamed of yourself !"
Goodness me !" returned the hen, in
puzzled tone; how queer you are.
Dorothy Live things are much fresher
and more wholesome than dead ones.
ana you humans eat all sorts of even
chickens"
But we cook EN-" said Dorothy
You do, indeed" answered Billina.
You eat lambs and sheep and cows
and pigs and even chickens"

II shall like thatw said Dorothy,
with little sigh, for her feet and legs
were still wetted now and then by the
sea-water that came through the open
Stats. r.s
so shall l." answered her compan-
ion. There is nothing in the world so
miserable as a wet hen."
The land. which they seemed to be
rapidly approaching, since it grew more
distinct every minute, was quite beau
toful as viewed by the little girl in the
floating hen-coop. Next to the water
was a broad beach of white sand and
gravel, and farther back were several
rocky hills, while belond these appear
ed strip of green trees that marked
the edge of a forest But there were
no houses to be seen, nor any sign of
people who might inhabit this unknown
land.
'I hope we shall find something to
eat" said Dorothy, looking eagerly at
the pretty beach toward which they
drifted. ITS long past breakfast time,
now"
I'm triie hungry, myself" de-
clared the yellow hen.
"Why don't you eat the egg?" asked
the child. "You don't need to have
your food cooked, as 1 do"
do you take me for a cannibal? %
cried the hen, Indignantly. II do not
know what / have said or done that
leads you to insult me !"

Mrs.-by the way, may 1 inquire your

hen. somewhat gruffly.
