Patented Land Aera Increases.

The total amount of patented land
in Colorado, as compiled by the State
immigration Department from the re-
cords of the State Tax Commission
and based upon assessors reports for
1920, is 29,462,459 acres, compared
with 2S,OO3,371 acres in 1919. This
includes all land upon which taxes
are now being paid, but does not in
clude homestead land that has been
filed upon but not yet patented and
state land that has been sold by the
State Land Board and for which pat
ent is not yet issued because payments
have not been completed. 1t includes
town and city lots and railroad rights
of way, besides the various classes of
agricultural. grazing and mineral land.
The largest single classification is
grazing land, which shows 1901 ,165
acres. compared with 14,123,529 acres
for the preceding year. The increase
in this class of land is also larger than
in any other class. Second in rank
is dry farming land, 10,339,797 acres,
compared with lO,OO2,1 1872 acres for the
preceding year. Nine counties, Baca,
Cheyenne, Ebert, Kit Carson, Las Ami
mas, Lincoln. Washington, Weld and
Yuma, each report more than 200 900
acres of patented land and Weld coun-
ty reports above 100000 acres.
Reports on the acea of non-patented
land in the state are not yet complete,
but they will show considerable de-
creases over last year, due chiefly to
the large amount of homestead land
that has been entered in the past
twelve months. Reports for last year
showed 26, 1852, 800 acres of non-patent-
ed land in the state, or u little more
than 40 per cent of the total area. This
includes homestead land, state land,
national forests and national parks
and monuments. Indications are that
the reports for this year will show a
decrease of considerably more than 81, :
000, 900 acres in the amount of nom
patented land. but the non-patented
cent Of the total of the state. There
is still approximately 100000 acres
of land unclassified as to ownership,
consisting chiefly of homestead land
that has been filed on but not yet
patented and state land that has been
sold but not yet fully paid for. The
largest area Of unclassified land is in
Moffat county, where a very large
amount of homestead land has been
filed upon in the past three years,
none of which is yet patented.

BONUS BILL Is
BEFORE HOUSE
Measure Providing Compensation for
MissOuri's Service Men Already
Passed by State Senate.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Nov. 9.-The
consensus of opinion in Legislative
circles here today was that the house
will begin consideration of the Ameri-
can Legion's S15,0OO,00O bonus bill
tomorrow. The measure as it passed
the senate carried the provisions Of
the original bill vesting the admins
tration of the bonus law in a commits
sion OF three, two to be appointed by
the governor and to receive $40 day
for their services and the third to be
the adjutant general of the state, who
would serve without pay. Indications

Quail SEASON OPENS
in MISSOURI TO-DAY
Shooting Is Permitted For Fifty Days
Only-Ten Birds Daily is
Permitted.

The sportsmen will take to the
fields today in pursuit of the elusive
Bob White, as the quail season is
open in Missouri again.
There are lots of quail this year.
Reports throughout the Ozark coun-
try indicate that this is one ofthe best
quail years. Two open winters and
lots of feed, coupled with fine spirit
of observance of the game laws, have
enabled the quail to multiply so that
there now is lots of hunting for
everyone.
The open season will continue for
fifty days, closing on December 81.
Ten quail is the limit that any one
person may kill in one day. In COM
menting on the law Floyd Galloway
deputy game and fish commissioner
at Monett, says that careful reading
reveals that not only is the limit 10
per day, but that no one is allowed to
have more than fifteen quail in his
C. possession at one time regardless OF
when they may have been taken.
Quail may be killed only for family
use. 1t is illegal to sell them. Licen-
ses are required of anyone hunting
elsewhere than on his own land. The
cost of the county license is 81. A
county license permits hunting ouly
in the county in which it is issued and
adjoining counties. A state license
costs $3.50. 1t permits hunting or
fishing anywhere in the state.
Some counties have availed them
selves of the provisions of the law
and have voted closed season on
quail for several years. Among thylse
which have done this are Stone as +,
Barton counties. y

INDIAN MIND ALERT
Red Man Excels at Ability to Do
Sustained Thinking.
Professor Of Psychology Who Has Been
Making Tests Gives Results of
His Investigations.

Austin, Tex.-FOr the last three
years DR.. I. r. Garth, professor Of
psychology Of the University of Texas
has been making tests of the mental
capacity of the Indian, the negro and
the Caucasian. These Investigations
have brought to light the fact, he says
that the American Indian has as alert
a mind as white people. He recently
spent some time among the Indians Of
New Mexico and Oklahoma, carrying
on his tests.
In Oklahoma. Doctor Garth visited
the Chilocco Indian Training school,
which is supported by the government,
and which offers instruction to In
dian children through the tenth grade.
buquerque, N. NJ, which has Indian
students from both New Mexico and
Arizona.
"In all I tested about 1000 Indians,
something over half Of whom were
full-blood, the rest ranging from one
eighth to fifteen-sixteenths Indian" ne
said. "Some of the Indians are very
promising and have great possibili-
ties. Heretofore the average of the
Indian for intelligence rating has been
below that of the white. But the In
dian excels both the white and negro
in mental fatigue, that is, ability to
continue longer at any given mental
process"
In the color preference test which
Doctor Garth conducted, out of a
group of 100 Indian students, 80 pre-
ferred red first, % preferred blue
first, while green, orange, yellow, pur-
pie and white occupied middle or end
positions in the scale of preference.
81 have tried this color test among
land blue is the color preferred first.
Psychologists consider the selection Of
blue as a sign of intelligence. When
tried the riddle test, thought surely
the Indians would find stumbling
block, but they answered readily, and
after thx test was ove1 one of the In
dian girls came up to ask me q rid

Out of the general mental tests
which Doctor Garth has conducted has
grown the problem Of studying the
Of Indian personality, &C
cOrding to which certain traits Of
character found in the Indian are COM
pared with the same traits found in
the whites. In the mental tests which
he conducted on the recent trip, Doc
tor Garth used the form issued by the
National Research council which 10
very much interested in this work.
The American Association Of Science
also has assigned to Doctor Garth Z
fund and given other aid AZ
evidence Of interest In the work.

American Sailors Witness Exhi.
bition of Portuga's Sport.
More a Display of Good Horseman-
ship and SkiIIful Feints Than Cruel
Sport as in Spain.

Lisbon.--Sailors of the American
warships who were entertained in this
city when the American squadron Wis
tied Portugal the other day, saw a
Portuguese bullfight and Justify
cheered for one of the bulls.
A Portuguese bullfight is more 4
display of splendid Craftsmanship and
skillful feints than cruel sport, such
as the Spanish bullfight There is no
bloodshed. The bulls are merely
leased by the bullfighters and Others
who pierce their hides with their tor
menting darts The horns of the bulls
are covered with leather balls, so that
they can do no great damage and the
proof of the skill of the hOrseman
is never to let his horse get touched
by them.
After that group of peasants
wearing green-and-red caps advance
into the ring and each tries to throw
himself on the bull, either between his
horns Or on his neck, and to cling
there despite the frantic attempts of
the animal. If one succeeds in cling
Ing on, the other peasants rush up
and hang onto the bull until he ID
reduced to impotence.
The American boys cheered all this
with great enthusiasm, but the real
outbreak came when one bull leaped
after one of his tOrmentors over 4
wooden partition and into group Of
,ullfghters, scattering them right and
eft.
Roars Of laughter filed the enor-
nous circus and a laundering cheer
md cries Of bull, bull, bull" burst |
rom the threats OF the Americans.
The bullfighters fed In disorder |
vhile the amphitheater resounded
With the laughter and cheers Of the !

JAP FARM TENANTS COMBINE
41e Associations Organized in Japan
for Protection Of Common
Interests.

Tokyo.-With the remarkable awak.
ening among Japanese industrial work
ers, there has recently been noticeable
in Japan a growing tendency among
tenant farmers to form combination
for the protection of their common
interests as against the landlords.
This is another evidence of the
swift social development In Japan
along western ideas.
At the end of March, 1921, such
combinations of tenant farmers num-
bered 416, with an aggregate member
ship Of 48,587 During 1920, 4O8 cases
Of dispute involving 5,235 landlords
and $4,000 tenant farmers were re-
ported.
The most frequent cause was dc.
mand for lower rent.

Woman's Trip Is Profitable to Driver
Who Gets Big Tip and
Extra Fares.

London.--A taxicab ride of 800
miles was made by an elderly Scotch
woman who, desiring to visit relatives
in Braemar, Scotland, decided that 1t
was too warm to travel by train. So
she stopped Frederick Clarke, a taxi
cab driver, as he was driving past her
house and had him take her to the
North Of Scotland.
Clarke picked up passengers for
shorter hauls on his way back, so that
his entire Journey of 1000 miles,
which he covered without even pune
ture, was decidedly profitable. Be-
sides substantial fare, the elderly
woman gave him $50 tip.
