SMALL FARMS APPROXIMATE
 IN UNITED STATES

Official census figures, published in the World Almanac, show that in 1920 there were 796,534 farms in the United States under 20 acres. Most of these smaller farms, or 507,- 762, range in size from 10 to g acres. More than six-tenths of the farms under 20 acres are in the south. Nearly half the farms in the United States vary between 50 and 174 acres. There were 67,3S7 farms of 1000 or more.
 These figures show that agriculture is large ly in the hands of small land owners. There are few vast estates, such as there are abroad. Although there is plenty of room for great ranches and farms in America, that coun- try is best off which has the largest number of individual land owners. Enormous es- tates are an economic mistake, as England found out even before the war brought on an upheaval which has caused some of Great Britain's ancient families to sell property that has been in their hands for centuries Some days ago it was facetiously announced that an English nobeman, facing hard times, had been compelled to sell parts or his estate un- till he was down to his last 40 farms" He still has too much land for his own good, or that of England.
 The small property holder is the bulwark of every nation. Without the small farmers of France, who cherish their few acres of ground probably more than the people of any other country, France could not have survived the storms which have threatened, time and again, to level her in the dust.

lators. Fifteen prohibition agents and for mer agents, three former district attorneys, former government official and two former congressman are said to be implicated
 It is a notorious fact that in some of the larger cities the difficulty of enforcing the prohibition law has been increased by the dishonesty of enforcement officers. many of whom have gotten rich on small government salary by accepting bribes or actually dealing in whisky themselves
 This situation of affairs is by no means creditable to the American people, but it is not hard to explain. When citizens, from the highest to the lowest, violate the prohibition law and laugh about it, rum-runners, boot leggers and interruptions officials are encour- aged by such examples to profit by the illegal liquor traffic.

SPORT PAGE PHILOSOPHY

From the St. Louis ost-Dispatch.
 The sport page everywhere has it's admirers and its critics, but for one who will study 1t calmly, particularly it's vocabulary, it has food for meditation. Take for example, this pas sage: Benny feinted the challenger out Of his guard and cracked him on the bugle.' It is not after the style of Ruskin, but it has points. Note it's grace, it's directness it's robust descriptive power. Again: "The champion blocked a soak in the slats." One has but to read to visualize the skillful maneuver of the dextrous Benny, the dramatic consummation of his plan, the delft protection of his CT slats.
 Nevertheless what would ba the sensation of the unnitiated stranger upon entering our hospitable gates to observe the proud an- nouncement: "Local Lads Murder Visiting Pitchers" It conjures up grim picture of clannish vengeance and gloating pride. Grant the sport page yirility, force, terseness and color. It has all those. But when we see it boldly stated that "St. Johns walloped St. Boniface" and "Our Lady of Sorrows won slugging match from the Holy Innocents," we are moved to murmur: 'Indeedp' We are indeed

STILL FOUND IN SING SING

From the New York World
 Barney Conway is decent enough chap in most ways His one fault is that he never al- lows his right hand to know what his left hand is doing. This is vital defect in the equipment of burglar. It landed Barney in Sing Sing. Nothing much had been heard of him up there till last night when the telegraph wires from up Ossnng way carried most distressing story about Barney.
 It seems that Barney staggered into his place in the dining hall night before last--just the least bit under the weather. You couldn't truthfully have called Barney drunk but he was far from sober.
 Warden Lawes is not difficult man to get along with, but he has his little prejudices One of these has to do with guests appearing in his banquet hall in Sing Sing wholly or partly shall We say stewed?
 Bernard" said the warden, "where did you obtain that Hquor?" Barney is not by nature reticent, but he, too, entertains his little prejudices and one of these is general disinclnation to say where he got what he's been found with
 The warden caused search of Barney's bou- doir and there the investigators located pint of what later turned out to be potato mash booze.
 Barney, who sepnds his days in the prison paint shop, had in some way obtained the nec- essary Irish nuggets, sugar and stuff and in some way, not yet explained, having mashed his own potatoes, distilled his own liquor.
 The whole of Sing Sing today is on a still hunt for Barney's still.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
THE ToRRENs SYSTEM
itor of The Age-Herald:

10 the Edltor or The ASe-derald:
 As is usually the case, where the Torrens system is left to vote of the people, the realtors of Birmingham went on record last Thursday favoring the system by vote of 3s for and 1 against, not voting. How do you suppose the people of Alabama would vote?
 For the information of your readers give below the section number and extracts from Minnesota Torrens law:
 Mo- 6875-Any number of adjoining tracts of land in the same county and owned by the same person, and in the same right, or any number of tracts of land, in the same county having the same chain of title, and belonging to the same person, may be included in one application for registration.
 No. 6903-The original certificate of title, likewise the owners duplicate certificate, shall be received evidence in the courts, and shall be conclusive evidence of all matters and things contained therein, and shall be received with out further proof.
 No. 6911-If duplicate certificate is lost destroyed and cannot be produced, duly verified statement setting forth the facts lating thereto, may be filed with the registrar by the registered owner, other persons in n- terest, and the court may direct the registrar to issue new duplicate.
 No. 6917-Every deed or voluntary instru- ment shall have the name Gin full) and post office address of the grantee and the registrar must be notified of any. change in address The year, month, day, hour and minute the instrument is file drnust be stamped on origi nal certificate of registrar <
 No. 691s-No new certificates can be 's- sued or entered and no memorial shall be made rDon any certificata unless tho own ar,s dunli- cate is presented herewith except in cases provided for in the law or by order of the court.
 No. 6935-Upon the death of an owner of registered land, or any estate or interest there in dies, having devised the same by will the person entitled thereto may file certified copy of such will, together with a certified copy of the order to the probate court admit ting it to probate, together with the dupli- cate certificate issued to the testator; this certificate is cancelled and new one issued to the proper parties.
 We hope to organize a Torrens league and through it put on a thorough campaign of ed ucation, so the people of Alabama will know what they are talking about, and then let them "vote on it." We are not going to try and ''put anything over"; our fight is going to be open and above board, and we sincerely be- lieve we will save the future generations bil- lions of dollars but the saving to the pres ent generation will not be over a mere $30,- 900, ,OOO to $40, ,OO0, ,O00-hardy enough to fool with, according to what some people say.
 We are going to need your support, and knowing that you stand for anything that will benefit Alabama, we feel sure we will have ti.

TRUCKERS KEEP BASKET
 WORKS BUSY

Birmingham maker of market baskets, egg containers and other wood veneer prod ucts for the use of farmers and truckers, re- ports his factory operating at full capacity in the production of baskets for truckers, the demand being especially large in this district Evidently the trucking business has developed and 1t must be profitable or it would not have developed.
 More and more first-class fruits and vege- tables are coming into Birmingham from the gardens and farms up and down the district The truckers have reaped the benefit of the CO., operative purchase of fertilizers, fruit trees and containers, and they have profited from the businesslike marketing methods which have been the result of their associated effort and the intelligent advice of farm agents
 The Birmingham factory finds no difficulty in disposing of good product at home as well as abroad, and the truckers get their contain CTS less the freight rate and without delay in transportation.

DIME NOVELS EXHIBITED LIKE
 CLASSIC LITERATURE

An exhibition of dime novels, containing 1,4S0 specimens, has been opened in New York at the public library. The thriller of an earlier generation has landed in good company. Displayed in glass cases, cata- logued and classified like literary classics these tales of frontier adventure, most of them pub lished by Beadle & Adams, between the years 1860 and 1892, may be studied by curious throngs as examples of form of writing that has unquestionably made deep impression on American boys.
 With the passing away of enc creator of Nicholas Carter, commentators called attention to the fact that the dime novel has fought losing battle with the movies That is prob ably true No man who has ever witnessed movie serial in picture theatre and heard the joyous shouts of small boys as one stirring episode after another was unfolded on the screen, can doubt that the camera can tell rcd-blooded tale more wildly than the best of he dime novel writers.
 With all their faults the weekly histories of Diamond Dick, Nick Carter, Old King Braoy, Frank Merrywel and dozen others, were clean. Virtue was always triumphant. Physi- cal prowess and courage were invariably ex- tolled. Neither as examples of the literary art, were they beneath contempt. Many of the turgid writers of today might profitably take few lessons from the crisp, forceful style of the dime novel authors.
 flood the market and the lurid yarns that were once read surreptitiously in the barn, behind geography in school or at boydom's favorite lair in the woods, the dime novel is infinitely less harmful.
