Land Prices Not Slipping

The distressing slump in prices
for farm products seems not to have
caused decline in the price of farm
lands, Judging from recent sale in
Black Hawk county, near Waterloo,
George NJ. Saul, sold a farm of 200
acres for S465 per acre, the highest
price at which strictly farm land
ever sold in t1at county, and the in
teresting part of it is that j. W.
Flemming, who bought it, was q
former owner of the place, and he
paid $4,000 more for it than he
received a year ago. The increase
on this tract, which formerly was
owned by Edward Z. and Ella f.
Stokes, has averaged $500 a year
for the past five years. 1t was sold
TO Frank Peterson in 1916 for $780,
900 or $3.50 an acre. Mr.. Peterson
SOLD the farm to j. w. Flemming in
February, 1920, for ST. 900 or SEX
an acre. Mr.. FlemminP- Gold the
tract in March, 1926, TO George M.
Saul Tor $50 200 or $425 an acre.
Now Mr.. Flemming buys it back at
an advance of $4,000 over what he
sold it for year ago, for the snug
sum of $4,000.

$4,000 GIRLS MISSING
That Number Lost in United States
Last Year.


Washington, d. C.-Sixty thousand
girls disappeared in the United
States last year without leaving a
trace. The great majority were
lured to the big cities from the
small towns and farms. They have
dropped from sight and their fate is
an unsolved mystery.
This story was brought to the
National Congress Of Mothers and
Parent Teachers associations con-
ventions here today with plea for
the creation of a central bureau to
help finding missing girls. Lieut.
Catherine Van Wrinkle, of the Dis
trict of Columbia police Department,
told the convention one of the big
gest needs of the country was to save
the army of girls who annually are
lost in the big cities.
Campaign Against Loose Morals
Plans were being made today to
ask the convention to launch a Wig
orous campaign against "loose NOR
ais" Mrs. Ward Morgan and Mrs.
William Ullmann, of the Missouri
state organization, were prepared to
introduce resolutions demanding abo-
lition of checking of corsets by
school girls and other women when
attending dances, and:
The knee-length skirt.
Diaphanous attire.
Rouge.
Suggestive dances.
Objectionable movies.

Early.Day Peddler.

An important merchant Of centuries
ago was the man who did your buying
for you. In those days there were
no mail-order houses nor was there
such a thing as running into town to
do your shopping. So there was
evolved a professional shopper who
made it his business TO buy what you
needed. He was known as packere,
pakkere, or pake-man, and from these
words the modern names resembling
them have sprung.

The Word Metis,

The word Metis, means mixed. 1t Is
from the French metis, derivative of
the Latin miscere, to mix. The term
was first used in this country by the
early French-speaking population Of
the Northwest to designate persons of
mixed white and Indian blood. Among
the Spanish-speaking population of the
Southwest the word mestizo, of the
same derivation, is used, but 1t applies
more especially TO those of half white
and half Indian blood.

to the family Christmas dinner.

age, he gasped:
