When the farm tractor shall be
fully developed in it's use in this coun-
try it is estimated that there will be
released 100. 900. 900 acres of land that
can be used for raising food for the
world. This is what it costs US now
to raise corn, oats and hay and pro-
vide pasture for horses on the farms
This means that we can raise three
billion bushels of wheat-three times
our previous bumper crop. The
tractor is one more contribution of
capital to the task of supplying the
world with food. If this job were left
to manual labor alone as once it was
there would be many more hungry
people than there are.

1.-The time has come when the well
fare of the nation demands an ade-
quate recognition of its educational in
terests by the federal government" de-
clares the National Education associa-
ton commission on the emergency in
education. The commission recon-
mends that congress be urged to make
reasonable appropriations to- the
states for. various purposes including:
ITO insure thru more attractive re-
wards and thru greatly improved IA
cilities for professional preparation an
adequate supply of competent teach
ers." No better way to insure an ade-
quate supply of competent teachers
can be devised than to pay them more
money for their work. In this way
the best teachers would be induced to
remain in the. profession instead OF
leaving it for better paying jobs as
most of them now do.

ACTIVITY IN REAL ESTATE.

Real estate is being bought and sold
thruout the country at rate said to
be unequalled since the rush in real
estate in / 905 and 1906. This activity
is based on the shortage of space said
to be Unprecedented. and this demand
for space has gradually developed
higher and higher rentals. The nat
ural cure for this condition in ordi-
nary times would be greater and
greater supply of space furnished by
new construction, but the high cost CT
materials and labor. with possibilities
or reduction in one or both holds
building back. Space is difficult to
obtain, and the result is that the home
and office seekers turn about and buy
properties as the only means of find
ing a resting place, says the Bache
Review. The rise in real estate, con-
fined, of course, to improved prop
critics, and not including vacant lots,
has attracte spectators. anc SO a
sided boom is developing. This
condition prevails not only in New
York City and the boroughs and
suburbs, but extends all over the coun-
try.
A curious development is that
within year. in New York City, many
business concerns have bought and
own their own locations. Firms. as A
rule. ARE against considerable owner
ship of real estate, as infringing on
| liquid capital. but large number
within the year have found it neces-
| sary to buy their own business offices
or go without any at all. This also is
operative in the dwelling market. and
there has been an unprecedented pur-
| chase of private houses of all ages
many of them quite old-where fam
lilies have found it impossible to rent
apartments; consequently, an active
market has been made for these pieces
of property neglected for many years
| The department of labor has sent
out questionnaires to leading cities ir
the United States to find out the neeC
of new building construction and the
replies thus far indicate in nearly ev-
cry part of the country a shortage Of
| dwellings, tenement houses, flats anC
! office space-the latter mainly in the
| larger cities, the other condition pre-.
| Vailin,y as well in the interior. The in
fluence of these conditions already ha;
been noted in Topeka, where the rea
estate market is livelier than it ha!
been for years past. Many persons
are buying homes rather than build
while the cost of labor and materia
remains ct the present figures. blu
this cannot last. Prices of improved
property soon will become SO higl
that those desiring homes will b.
forced to build. This of course will
bring about a boom in vacant lots.

The Silent Personality
BY GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS

Onward does the world sweep-its
most dominating forces being those
left behind.
Those who understood the cost, who
faced a kind of inevitable failure.
knowing that it was all the while
wrapped with success. wrapped with
winning-those to whom nothing but
the breath of Victory could be vital
air at all.
The mother. watching, waiting.
praying; the Builder at his isolated
desk planning. planning. planning: the
Writer behind burning lights and in
obscure corners dreaming, thinking
and knowing that the product of his
brain must iive-these are the Silent
Personalities that rule the world.
To such ones. unfortunately. how
ever, few cheers, few bouquets, few
pats upon the back do come. till that
restless mocha nism of human power
and activity is given a more silent OBJ
security in dreamless sleep.
1t is greater thing to. build a ma
ton than to run it. 1t is much
finer thing to shape a human charac-
ter than it is to enjoy the plaud.ts
that that character is able to attract.
The securest thing in human life is
to work in the silent behind--where all
fear for selfish grandeur is absent.
The people in this town living silent
lives of service, are the ones who
make this town-as well as every
town. And in every activity of daily
endeavor. those tasks being perform
ed without fuss or fury. are the iasks
being reckoned with by the watching
eyes of the Great Unseen. For
Behind the dim unknown,
standeth God within the shadow.

1t was well understood from the
first that Italy entered the war for
plumber and that this was promised to
her by the entente. Her treaty obli-
cations lay on the other side. Now
she is demanding the fulfillment of
the bond. If her claims shall not be
recognized at Paris she threatens to
take her doll things and go home
She will no longer play in the peace
game Probably similar trouble with
Russia would have been encountered
had she not dropped out of the war.
She was to have had Constantinople

been greatly improved.
