LAND OWNERS
LOYAL CITIZENS
Farm Loan Board Thinks
Title to. Homes Cure
For BolsheMsm.

The man VINO has n fee simple
title TO land is for the government,
for the institutions. for the flag,
and against those who would dis
rupt society.
Recognising these facts. the Farm
Loan Board is seeking to make the
tenant farmer the home owner.
How 1t Is succeeding is shown
by statistics Compiled for October
last, showing that during that
month there were $50 landless bor-
rowers; that after they became bor-
rowers they became owners Of land /;
that the amount borrowed was $2,-
15O.S75.
At this rate the Federal land
banks would be creating 1,39S farm
home owners a year, or about $4,000
in a decade, and each ten years
there would be loaned to former
landless people more than $250,000,-
900. The land represented as Sc
curity would be worth $500. 600. 900.
For the month an average of
about 16 per cent of all loans made
by the 12 banks were made to land

ers had been tenants all their lives.

their hope of reward was greater.
The plan is to find men who are
willing to sell land and to explain
to tenants how they can buy on
longtime payments, instead of di-
viding their crops. Members of the
Farm Loan Poard say the plan is q
success.
The Federal Land Bank loans so

LUETTWITZ BPURE
MONARCHIST, SAYS
OLD FRIEND HERE

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.
the present Gen. Luettwitz prepared
in a military examination. The sub
ject was "A German Invasion of
England"
Said He .Did IL for Fun"
Won Luettwitz frankly read it to
Capt. Smith. However, he denied
that there was any military sugges-
tion in it, 81 merely did IL for fun"
was his comment.
Some time afterward Won Luett-
witz was appointed assistant mill
tary attache to the Germany en-
bassy at London. The st. James
Gazette" London newspaper
owned by the German government,
was then fiourishing>
Suddenly the newspaper changed
hands. becoming English property.
The proprietor, to give proof of his
anti dug up the story
of Won Luettwitz's anti-English
thesis. This occasioned the Prus-
sian officers return to Germany.
Capt. Smiths Journeys about the
world carried him far afield and
he lost direct track of Luettwitz.
However, he periodically heard re-
ports of his submersion in the sea
of junkerism.
- During the war the Englishman
discovered that his one-time friend
was playing true to form. He had
become a military governor in Bel
gium.
Capt. Smith therefore was not
surprised to see Won Luettwitz as
a military shadow of the Kapp
government. Now that the kapp
regime has officially ended he
merely wonders what he will do
next.
He is certain that such forces
as HindenburE and Ludendorff
really pulled the strings for the
Kapp-Luettwitz coup. He also
wonders. suspiciously, why the
Ebert government permitted the
returned Baltic troops to be quar-
tered almost on top of Berlin.

COST OF SPORT
ISSTAGGERING
Huge Salaries and Purses
For Athletes Makes Ex-
pense Almost Criminal.

Up to this year the cost of out
door amusements, particularly base
ball. remained at or near prewar
levels. But now, says Edwin A
Soewey. writing in Leslie's, the
athletically inclined public-is to be
introduced to another raise and the
high cost OF sport will take its place
in 1920 alongside the too-familiar
II. c. l. And this, despite the fact
that the followers of sport in 1913
patronized all kinds OF outdoor
games as never before, enabled
many hard-pressed baseball club
owners to pay the debts, contracted
in the lean years and start anew.
and further enriched those who bad
been accustomed to reap an annual
profit.
Poor Judgment Ueed.
Probably there would have been
no necessity to raise the prices OF
admission all along the line had the
sport promoters used better judg-
ment and not Joined the general
movement to boost everything sky
high. The amazing increases In pa
tronage last year and the certainty
that attendance figures will con-
tinue to increase through 1920 indi-
cate that any added burdens, such
as raises in salaries and increased
railroad and hotel bills for the ball
team owners, will more than be met.
But what is forcing the promoters
and owners to contemplate raising
fees generally is the policy of hang
ing up unnecessarily large purses
and paying too much money when
purchasing baseball stars.
Some of the purses paid profess
sional boxers in the last year have
been beyond reason and 1t would
be a crime to hang up a prize OF
S500.000 even for a match between
Carpenter and Dempsey, as now
proposed. A $4,000 purse for the
recent wrestling bout between Cad
dock and Stecher was equally RI
diculous. Such sums do not pro-
mote sport, but commercialize it and
encourage the gambling gentry.
And now we come to the purchase
of Babe Ruth. the "home-run king"
for S125,o00 and a boost in salary to
$50. 900 a year. Personally, 1 do not
believe that any ball player is worth
that amount.
