More Farms Mortgaged
Than Ten Years Back

Washington. d. c., July 15-The
total number of farms operated by
actual owners in the United States
has decreased since 1910, according
to the Bureau of the Census of the
department of commerce, which has
ANNOUNCED, subject to correction. pre-
liminary figures from the 1920 CEN
sus of agriculture. nj 1910, of the
3,94S.22 farms operated by their own
ers only 3S.6 per cent. rose to Si.3 per
cent. This increase does not noces-
sarily indicate any lack of prosperity,
however since much of the money is
borrowed for profitable investment in
improvements or in additional land.
The states having the highest per-
centage of farms mortsaged in 1920
were North Dakota, with 1873 per
cent of the owned farms mOrtgaged;
Montana with 646 per cent: South
Dakota. with 6S.1 per cent: Idaho,
with 62S per cent: Wisconsin. with
So per cent and Oklahoma, with 6o.t
per cent. In general the percentage
of farms mortga ged is relatively low
in all the southern states except
Oklahoma, and relatively high in a
hgroup of North Central states, ex
tending from Michigan on the east to
idaho on the west.

Sheeplike Vegetable

A curious plant growing in Peru
is known to the native as 'yareta" or
vegetable sheep" 1t grows abpn-
dainty among rocks at high attitudes
along the Andes of Bolivia and Peru,
where it constitutes a conspicuous
feature in the landscape because Of
its peculiar manner of developing the
SO called ''poister," or cushion form
alton.
The "yareta" forms hilloeks or
small mounds often three feet high
and sometimes several feet in dia-
meter. Moreover, the entire mound is
made up of a single plant. not of a col
ony of individuals, and it attains
this enormous size and extreme com
paetness by a process Of repeated
branching. SO that the ultimate
branches are closely crowded and the
outer surface is continuous,
The flowers of the "yareta' are very
thin, only about one eighth Of an inch
long, and are borne in small clusters
near the tips of the branches. The
fruit resembles a miniature caraway
seed. The natives use the plant as
fuel

For some time she kept them

took good care of them, but when
they grew larger and seemed well be-

them to run and play with the dogs

habit to take a hand net and go down
to the river to fish Standing upon
rock and every once In a while cast

WHY YOUR
TEETH CHATTER

The little muscles which close the
Jaw are acted upon by the cold in such
a way that they pull the jaw up and
then let it fall by it's own weight.
This. repeated many times, causes the
teeth to click together and produce
what is called 'chattering."
You think of it in connection with
YOUR teeth because it is the teeth
which make the sound. but the cause
lies in the muscles used in chewing
or in opening your mouth when you
speak.
The chattering occurs in spite or
the will or the brain. You have little
control over it. and can stop It only
by clenching the teeth. 1t is really q
mild variety of spasm caused by the
cold. which acts on the jaw muscles
in much the same way that some
poisons produce muscular spasms
which cannot be controlled.

Turning to Right Is
An Ancient Practice

The custom Of passing to the right
of people when meeting them in the
street dates back many years. to the
DAYS when the sword and dagger
were generally worn.
The sword was carried on the left
side, and the dagger in a sheath on
the right, where it could easily be
unsheathed fertively. In course OF
time the dagger became the favorite
weapon of the assassin.
Passing on the left OF the men you
met rendered both OF you open to g
stab from dagger. %he blow beins
delivered with the right hand al
close quarters. Passing to the right
