THE RENT COLLECTOR

ID ENT collecting is branch of the
IN real estate work that appeals to
many young women who are interest
ed in housing problems, and several
such have entered it from settlement
work. The landlords find that women
make better rent collectors than men,
that they get closer to the tenants,
and that they promote better under
standing between the parties to the
renting business.
Rent collecting is not mere turn
ing up at the first Of the month with
the demand for the rent. It is to the
interest Of the landlord that the
houses he owns be properly run and
kept up, that undesirable tenants be
elected, and that the right kind get
right treatment. Women are good at
getting results in these directions. It
Is usually the woman Of the apartment
who pays the rent; 1t is she who has
complaints to make or alterations to
demand. And she speaks more freely
to another woman, and the other
woman understands better the usual
problems Of housekeeping. It works
well both ways.
A rent collector is In position TO
know more than most persons about
vacant apartments, various types Of
renters, possibilities of development,
bargains. There are really fine busi-
ness opportunities in this line, and
women should study them.
After all, 1t is women who live in
the home and who manage the horne.
When 1t comes to homes. women make
the better agents and better rent col
lectors, and women are entering the
new field with enthusiasm.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. Within a
few weeks the South has changed
from a spirit Of depression to one of
optimism. The change is due to what
ordinarily would be regarded as a
great disaster-the failure of the cot
ton crop.
The Department of Agriculture esti-
mates the cotton crop in the South
this year will be the smallest in 80
years. The publication of the de-
Eartment's estimate has resulted in
an increase of the price of cotton
from 10 cents to 20 cents.

Waite Hoyt has gone back to Great

as the star pitcher of the Erasmus
ball team was signed by John J. Nc
Graw, was shifted to the minors and
then came back and made an enviable
record for himself in the big-tlme cir

Hoyt has been called one of the
most promising right-handers in the
American league, and although he has
only just turned twenty-one he has
been taking his turn on the mound
for the Red SoX with the veterans and
has been handing in a good share Of

demonstration at a meeting Of the
members. BY the aid Of a loud

to dance from 8 p. m. until midnight
to music which came in from varying
distances. In a medley dance The
members Of the club started with a
waltz, played ut Woodsde, Long Is

came from Paterson, n. j., 80 miles

ton folk. The story goes back to the
days when Calvin Coolidge was n sOph-
omore at Amherst college. With shoes
TO be repaired he sought Lucey's shop
on Gothic street in this city, and then
remained to listen to the cobbler's
hOmely comments on the topics Of the

The student found the shoemakeri
philosophy so engaging that during the
remainder of his college course he
went frequently to see him. AS a
lawyer later young Coolidge opened
offices here, and while he waited for
clients, continued his aCquairance
with the cobbler. Throughout his ca
reer in the politics of the city and
state, Mr.. Coolidge dropped in at the
shoe shop from time to time to ex-

The cobbler says that the only time

to make frmer the friendship between
them. Mr.. Coolidge had sought the
election Of a friend as mayor, and
asked Mr. Luccy as a delegate to the
party caucus to stand In his behalf,

FINE CROPS SURE
Farmers in Western Canada
JubiIant at Prospect.
Splendid Winter Weather Has Put the
Naturally Fertile Land in Splen-
did Condition, and Bountiful
Yields Are Assured.

"What delightful winter we have
had" Is an expression that could be
heard almost anywhere when the
topic of the weather became the sub
ject of conversation. Not only in the
Middle West and "down east" could
it be heard, but also in the Far West,
up in the Canadian West. There
the same remarkable features that
brought forth q wonderful winter eX-
listed. Reports from all parts of the
country, from famed Medicine Hat in
Alberta to Winnipeg in Manitoba, in
dicate that all through the winter
season very little cold weather was
experienced In December, we read
that golf playing had put into the dis
card all ice sports, that farmers were
caught 'red-handed" plowing their
fields. In January, the Alberta yeo-
man got out his tractor and in his
shirt sleeves was seen preparing
ground for the 1921 crop. During
February, in saskatchewan, one
farm er narrowed fifty acres and
planned the seed. "Why, yes, Of
course, in March," said an Iowa
farmel, who had just heard from his
son, who was looking after the West
ern Canadian farm, 'my boy writes
me they had some snow, and a few
cold dips, but what did that matter?
The cattle and the horses came
through tho winter in better condition
than they looked three or four months
ago. Grass Nras plentiful on the prai-
ries, the stuhble was rich and valu-
able as food, and the straw stacks
and groves proved ample for shelter"
Spring is now fully upon the West
ern Canada farmer, his machinery is
all in shape for a springs work, and
he is looking forward to an excellent
crop year. Last fall there was a
splendid lot of moisture that perme-
ated the ground sufficiently to leave
a perfect seed bed Indications are
now that the crop will 90 in in the
condition required for successful ger

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence Of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp p-Root ls
soon realized. 1t stands the highest tor
its remarkable record Of success.
An examining physician for one OF the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, IN
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
iected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose appEca-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.

In Africa deep shafts are sunk, the
