REASON FOB 1NpIeNAr1oN

There is every reason why the people II Boston should be displaying much re-, beptment at the plan of certain landlords to assess each tenant ten dollars addi- 4ional each month for every baby brought Ato the world. That isn't the way the proposition is put up to the tenants but that is what it amounts to when the form of lease stipulates that the apartment is rented for fixed amount and for fixed Humber in the family and that $10 addi- unnal will be charged for each additional mamher.
 Such a plan Is simply another way of laying that the one who rents an apart lhaent can have only limited use of it, that if the family is increased a higher rent must be paid, that small family would pay less than big family for the eame rooms and that any family desir- mg to accommodate relatives or friends, lS boarders, and at the same time help Themselves are denied that privilege.
 While it is unquestionably true that landlords find their property treated with httle or no consideration by certain oc- espants, it should be realized that all should not be judged by a few and that " IS liic uClSHI OL llJuSCC0 10 Jump the rent s120 year because a baby Is added to the family.
 That looks like an effort to encourage FAce suicide in manner that will bring forth much resistance. Already it has aroused the open opposition of the au. thorities and justly so There are those landlords wlio will not rent their prop. erty to families with children and there are those who draw the line at dogs. but when they undertake to face tenant, with lease in such a form as proposed they should realize that they are onf, inviting action through the legisIatur, Mat will put curb upon such injustice
 What is needed is better housing facili lies and conditions rather than less. bu at time when houses are hard to ge and apartments scarce putting such al Increase on family is simply profteer hg and babies are more desirable thai erofteers. Boston in It's indignation cal b relied upon to deal properly with thi hew .stuaticn.

Sunday Morning Talk
THE LORDs pAY


 T am the Lord. your God walk in my statutes. and keep my judgments and do them. and hailow my Sabbaths."
 The setting apart of one day in seven for rest has be 4n scientifically proven an essential to our well being. Machinery will run longer. railroad cars will be more useful, if allowed to remain idle for one-seventh of the time. Inasmuch as God knows our frames and remem- tereth that we are dust. He has ordained that one day should be set apart for the resting of the mind. the refreshing of the body. the building up of the spiritual na- ture and for His own worship.
 It is no ta day of selfish indulgence but day when, having ceased from our secular labors, we can yield ourselves with renewed consecration to God and al- low Him to work through us. In setting apart the Sabbath day for rest God is represented as la5oring six days and resting on the seventh. The day we now observe, however, is the Lords day in commemoration of His triumphant resur. rection.
 In the Book of Revelation we are toIt that John was in the spirit on the Lord'I day and had a vision of the new Jerusa, Hem

Souvenirs


 A superintendent of schools had re- turned from the convention at Atlantic City and soon after one of the teachers had told her pupils in enc of the upper grades about the meeting as he had re- ated them to her. At recess a primary teachers appeared to the teacher and in- quired: Why on earth did you tell your children that the superintendent had brought some paddles home?"
 The teacher was surprised and pro- tested that she had said nothing of the sort. But the primary teacher persisted for one of her tiny tots had told her so. An investigation was begun and it was discovered that one of the older pupilE had spread the news. And straightway she was brougat on the green carpet T don't see why you told that.

 It can hardly bN expected that this country is going to interfere in the af- fairs of the Cuban republic or any other at the request of defeated candidates for the presidency. There certainly cannot be any whitewashing of fraud but such conditions should be guarded against from within, and probably more than the Gomez statement will be required before accepting his viewpoint.

FARM NETS GOOD INCOME.
Crop of Volunteer Wheat Made 50, 900
for the Rev. John A. Bright.

The Rev. John A. Bright of To-
peka, who is chaplain of the
house of representatives, owns a
quarter section of land near Cam
pus in Cove county. AS the Union
Pacific railway right of way takes
twelve acres from the tract. the exact
acreage of the farm is 14S. In the
fall of 1918 this land was sown to
wheat and a moderate crop was har-
vested in the summer of 1919.
After the 1919 harvest, the land was
left uncultivated, but in the summer
of 1920 a crop of volunteer wheat of
approximately $3.50 bushels, or twenty
bushels to the acre. was harvested
from it. The wheat was hauled direct
from the field to a nearby elevator
where it was sold for the sum of S.
600. about S2.70 per bushel.
Bright'S share was one fourth of
that sum. or $4,000, with which he
was enabled to completely wipe out
two mortgages, one on his farm and
the other on his Topeka home.
That money was like a gift from
heaven" said Bright. Wife and 1 are
growing old, have no regular charge
now, and the proceeds from that farm
are about all we have to live on nova
