p The Teachers Institute, an aggre-
lgation of four hundred patriotic. SELF
sacrificing. intellectual. human!ty-loY-
ing men and women, have come and
gone. 1t was a larger body than is
found in many state teachers asso~
Citations. Its program was more va
ried and interesting than is often
found at the state gatherings. 1t had
in attendance distinguished educators
who were greatly pleased to address
such an interested and interesting
body, and who made addresses that
were strong and pointed. vigorous and
virile, earnest and erudlte, touching
many features of progress in the line
Of education.
The music lovers greatly enjoyed
the various numbers by the Lakeland
high school orchestra under the lead
ership of Prof. Hague. and the appro-
pirate songs of the mixed high school
quartette.
Supt. C. A. Parker called the insti-
tute to order and had it's business fea-
lures duly opened with prayer by the
Rev. Bostwic. The welcome address
Of F. H. Callahan showed the teachers
in new light and the derived no
small degree of satisfaction from his
many appropriate comparisons re-
bounding to the credit OF the pedogo-
pues. Principal McBeth. of Haines
City, made live and forceful re-
sponse voicing the institutes thanks
for the welcome.
The mornings technical work was
the talks bv Drs. Cawthon and FullS
Of the Florida University. and Rural
School Inspector R. l.. Turner. A re-
view of these two talks is impossible
in these columns. but it may be said
that each speakers every word caught
the ear Of every teacher thus showing
that their suggestions were what was
wanted. and that the eminent gentle
men were at home on the themes they
treated All the speakers intersners-
ed their remarks with wealth OF IL
Iustration that carried home their
every argument for school betterment.

IRISH KIDNAPPING CASES CONTINUE
TO EXCITE ULSTER AND The BRITISH
Victims Said To Be Unlikely To Be Freed As Long As Ten Gaelic Foot
ball Players Are Kept In Jail At Derry

London. Feb. 11.-Conficting re-
ports are coming out OF ireland con-
cerning the attitude Of the southern
provisional government toward recent
kidnapping of prominent Ulster men.
The whole machinery of the pro-
visional government is being en-
ployed to secure the release Of these
men, according to the Dublin CORE
spondent of the Times, who says the
raids are deplored by every member
of that government especially by
Michael Collins, it's head.
Against this is a report from an
other source, ostensibly friendly to
the PROVISIONAL governmen implying
belief that the Collins administration
had foreknowledge of the raids and
could Immediately secure release of
the. prisoners by giving a direct or

TENANT FARMS
INCREASE FAST
Thirty-seven Per Cent of All the
Farms In America Are Now
Rented. Saws Expert

Washington, Feb. 11.-Tenant farm
ers in the United S ates rent land
equal to the combined area of Texas,
Illonois, Iowa, Arkansas, Michigan,
Wisconsin and Florida" DR.. C. l..
Stewart, land economist, declared to-
day in analyzing figures issued by the
department of agriculture showing
that farm tenantcy is increasing more
rapidly than census figures Indicate
Tenants, he said, operated 81 per cent
of the farm lands of the country in
1920, representing AZ per cent of the
Improved acreage and A per cent of
the total valuation of the improved
and unimproved land. Improved land
under lease alone equals six times the
area of Illinois, he added, and the un-
improved land rented is equivalent TO
more than the entire area of France.
Economists of the department enl-
phasized that if all the half billion
dollars borrowed through the federal
farm loan system in the last five years
had been used to finance tenants in
buying farms, instead of the five per
cent of this amount used for land pur-
chases by renters, the loans would
have covered with first mortgages less
than five per cent of the $2S,000, ,O0O,-
900 worth of land under lease.
The 1920 census figures, it was
stated showed that acreage rented
had increased 20 per cen. since 1910
with IA per cent in the preceding de-
cade. The increase in the value of
land rented was given in these figures
as Ill per cent in the last decade
compared with 1876 per cent in the ten
years ending with 1910, while the
number of farms rented increased
four per cent in the 191O-1920 period
compared with 16 per cent in the
1900-1910 period.

lists From Kidnappers-
Failure To Secure Re-
lease Prisoners Causes
Trouble

Dublin, Feb. 11-(By the ARssociat-
ed Press)-Michael Collins, head of
the Irish provisional government has
issued the following decree of gen
seral amnesty:
/, Now that a treaty of peace has
been concluded between the peoples
of Ireland and Great Britain, the pro-
visional government hereby DEGREES
a general amnesty with respect to
acts committed in the course of the
recent hostilities. The amnesty eX-
tends to all members of the naval,
military, police and civil services of
the British government and TO all
other persons by whom acts of hos
tility against the Irish people We're
committed, aided or abetted, whether
in Ireland or elsewhere, during the
last six years, and full protection of
the law will be afforded such persons
against violence or injury of any
kind.
"The provisional government ap-
peals to all citizens to respect this
amnesty in spirit and letter In this,
as in other matters, we must not al
low ourselves to be ou done by our
late enemies in seeking that the
wrongs fthe past may be buried in
oblivion
More Troops to Belfast
Belfast, Feb. 11.-(By the Associat-
ed Press Sir JaJmes Craig, the Ul-
ster premier, announced on arriving
from London today that he had been
assured four additional ba.talions of
troops would be sent to Belfast i'm
mediately.
He said he had set no time limit on
the British action to secure the re-
lease. of the unionist prisoners taken
in the recens raids. This statement
was supplementary to his declaration
before leaving London that in the
event CT failure of the British author
tiles to secure the release of the kid
mapped men, he would carry out his
own plans.
1--WE have to consider the whole
ST uation carefully" he said.
Shooting occurred in the North
Queen street area of Belfast this
morning. Police reinforcements were
sent to the scene.
London, Feb. 11.-(By the Associat-

Meanwhile Ulster men are still be-

and many people in Dublin are re-

football players, arrested on January

prisoners, regardless OF what efforts
Arthur Griffith and Collins may make.
