not appear uniform throughout the
Central West, according to reports re-
ceived in washington from number
of agricultural authorities. While the
majority of the several states heard
from report an advance, Wisconsin
notes no change and Oklahoma de-
clares a decrease. Illinois. Minnesota.
Nebraska and Ohio show increases.
The situation In the various states
named is thus indicated:
Farm tenantry in Oklahoma has
shown decrease of per cent during
the ten years since 1910. according TO
figures from each county compiled by
II. II. Shutz, federal statistician for
the state. In 1910. farm owners made
up 40 per cent of the tillers of the
soil, and renters s. per cent.
The percentage of rented farms
has increased somewhat in the south
ern half of Wisconsin," Joseph A.
Becker. agricultural statistician at
Madison, Wis, writes. However, the
large number of new farms being
opened up in the northern part of the
state. practically all of which are OPP

GLOVES SCARCE AND COSTLY
Many Reasons Why Supply Cannot Be
Made to Keep Pace With
the Demand.

II is unfortunate that the fashion
makers should have decided to have
the sleeves of gowns short. the glove
men say. Large demands are already
being made for the full lengths. six
teen to twenty buttons. The French,
who used to supply the goats that sup
piled the skins, are now keeping them
for the milk.
"Gloves went up So a dozen pair the
1st of August; the women are de-
manding the long gloves and there is
shortage of both labor and materials"
said a man who knows the glove mar
ket and has glove factory in Gre
noble, France. 1--WE used to buy the
goat skins in France for from 800 to
400 francs a dozen. with the hair That
was about So a goat. Now. with the
cost of living what it is, goat giving
milk is worth $6.70 for the milk alone,
and then there remains the goat and
the kid Obviously it is not policy to
sell under such conditions. We are
sending coal over TO France; it costs
there sos a ton. All provisions are
high Nothing need be expected in
glove skins until the cost of living is
lowered.
"The French women do the finest
kind of work on gloves, but there are
now many more remunerative lines Of
work than glOvemaking.
.'There is also a scarcity of labor in
glovemaking in this country, but for
different reasons. Much of the glove
making is done up in Fulton county,
N. Y. Women did much of the work.
That was when the men of the family
were making some 500 week, and
they have a feeling of pride in telling
their women that there is no need OF
their working, and the women are TAX
ing a rest"

Goal to Which Veterans of World War
Are Striving. Paris Post Ad-

The fraternity Of peoples" was de-
picted as the goal toward which vet
Grams of the World war in an coun-
tries are striving, in an address by
Arthur w. Kipling, adjutant of Paris
post, American Legion, to the annual
convention of the "Union Rationale
des Combattants" at the TrocaderO.
Mr.. Kipling greeted the French vet
Grams In the name Of the veterans OF
America, and explained that he had
been designated to represent the
American ex-service men at the gath
ering of their comrades.
1.-The effort which you are making
today, my French comrades" he said,
"is identical with the effort which the
American Legion is making i'm the
United States. We all seek the recoy-
cry of the race, by the young men OF
the race, for humanity's sake, and so
that our efforts may end in the frater-
nifty of peoples, it depends upon US,
former combatants in the great war,
to understand each other and If neces-
sary 70 speak frankly while looking
each other squarely in the eye."
Andre Lefevere, French minister of
war, presided at the convention and
addresses were also delivered by Gen.
Leon Durand and Charles Bertrand,
deputy. Captain Torso, blinded vet
eran, spoke for Britain's former SOL
diers and officers Of the Belgian and

BOLLES AS MESS SERGEANT
in Roasting Corn and Potatoes
in Mud Coating.

There's plenty of work concerned
with the job of being the national ad-
jutant of the American Legion, but
still, Lemuel Bolles of Seattle, Wash
who recently was reappOinted to the
office, finds time now and then in
which to get away from the duties Of
his position. At a picnic Of the ma
tional headquarters staff outside of
Indianapolis a while ago, Mr.. Bolles
played the part of mess sergeant
to perfection, evolving new way of
cooking corn and potatoes that
brought praise from all. His system
consisted of coating the corn and
"SpudS'' with mud and then burying
them in the embers of a fire until they
were done to a turn. Here he is seen
preparing the picnic meal with the
assistance of Miss Pearl BURNETT.
Mr. BOlles, who was one of the
original delegates to the Paris caucus
Of the American Legion, served as a
lieutenant colonel on the general staff
of the first army corps from May, 1918.
