TO CUT AUSTRALIAN ESTATES
ter 10 Approved by Most Of the
LandhoIders.

Large Australian estates may have
to be subdivided, according to the
Sydney correspondent of a London pa
per.
The new South Wales government
is reintroducing a large holding sub
division bill, compelling owners to
subdivide for closer settlement any
land exceeding 100000 In value. If.
for instance, the owner of land worth
S25O,OO0 refuses to subdivide 1t the
government will compulsorily acquire
$4,000 worth and make 1t available
for closer settlement.
The intention is to pay immediate
cash or current rates of interest to
the owners. The measure, which is
approved by most Australian indlvid-
ual landholders, but bitterly opposed
by big land companies with headquar-
tiers in England, will have the effect
OF opening for cultivation large areas
now utilized as sheep runs. Thus 1t
will afford an opportunity for an in
creased agricultural population and
scope for immigrants.
1t is designed to mitigate the ex-
listing serious unrest arising out Of the
inability to provide Australian agricul-
turists with land. These people are
being driven to the cities to swell the
ranks Of the unemployed, making dan
gerOus centers of discomfort.

The Elastic Dollar

The "ordinary expenses" of
the national government for
the last six months of 1921
were nearly S700,00O,000 less
than for the corresponding six
months of the year before.
This is due partly to econO-
my, partly to lower prices.
Uncle Sam can buy a lot more
with a taxpayers dollar now
than he could II months back.
And 81 paid in income tax in
1922 is heavier taxation than
81 paid in 1921, because of the
increased buying power of the
dollar.
The esteemed dollar has the
elasticity of rubber.

AND THEY SLEPT upstairs"
Childish Prank Not So Enjoyable as
Youngsters Imagined II Was
Going to Be.

An Indianapolis woman is fond of
telling a story about her girlhood
days. There were several children In
the family and they went to school
with other children, perhaps a trifle
better off as to this worlds goods
than they were. At any rate, the
other children were always talking
about their upstairs. And there
was no upstairs to the cottage where
the indianapolis woman's family lived
it was only cottage. But children
like, they had to be able to say with
cool disdaln when they went to
school: why, upstairs where we
sleep"
SO when mother went downtown
one day these small children labor.
iously took their little bed apart and
carried 1t up the narrow, steep dark
stairs that led to the attic. Then they
carried up the bedclothes; then their
little chairs. They were indeed, going
to sleep upstairs.
When mother came home she found
out what had happened. She
climbed the attic stairs, and there
amid the dust and dirt and whatnots
and cobwebs were the two beds.
So just to punish the children for
their dlsobedience mother made them
sleep up there few nights in the
hot weather. until they were glad
they had no upstairs"

For So or So you can buy hive uf
bees; the bees vii! swarm the next
day and you will have two hives.
Keep this process up few weeks

tops are covered with figures on a
