FARMING uNpRoFITABLE

The other day the Editor iiteued TO
a Charles Town man express himself
on the present farm situation. The
farmer wouldn't be so hard up these
days If he would spend less time rid
ing in his Ford and more time riding
his tractor, was the remark he made.
Now Of course, it may give one
some satisfaction to make clever SOU
nding statements like this But such
remarks never take actual facts into
consideration.
Not long ago survey was made in
Carroll County, Illinois, to get at the
facts behind all the generalities we
hear IN connection with farming to-
day. The idea was to learn how lar
&c an income can be realized from an
investment in farm land For the
return on an investment measure the
condition of the industry. If we
wanted to learn how the railroads or
packing plants were getting on these
days, we would consider the dividends
paid on capital stock.
And this is what the farm survey in
Carroll county showed. Average
valuation of farm land in the district
was $3.50 per acre. The average re-
turn in rent per acre was S7.75 This
means gross return to the owner of
81 per cent on the investment.
Had the owners of this land invest
ed their money in bonds against city
real estate there would be nothing to
worry about--no supervision-no
chance of loss through incompetent or
dishonest tenants.
These rents are determined largely
by the returns that the man working
the land can get out of the soil. The
survey included good land--poor
everything in the county 1t
was made over such large area that
It is safe to assume that about the
same average holds for the entire
United States.
Now to boil all this down to con-
clusion we arrive at this: The re-
turns from farm land investments are
smaller than the returns received
from money turned into almost any
other enterprise in the nation. This
is because conditions right now are
such that farmers cannot make a re-
asonabIe profit,

IL decided. Notre Dame defes
Iceland Stanford of Califol ssia in enc
Of the most exciting contests in the
history of the gridiron sport. And
Laydon. one of the famous -Four
Horsemen. was the hero of the tour
nament
Twice he got the ball in his own
territory and raced the length OF the
field for a touchdown. During the
past week his name has appeared on
the sports page Of every newspaper
In the United States. To him go
most of the honors of the victory.
But Iaydon alone could never have
accomplished these seemingly super
human feals The moment he got the
ball each time. ten other men on the
Notre Dame eleven formed running
wall of interference. Each man,
trained TO function as unit in a
smooth running machine did his part
toward winning the great victory.
But the crowds cheered the one
sensational figure carrying the ball.
That is all most of US can see IN attn
letics in business in work of any KIND.
We always cheer the man earring the
ball. We forgot the conscientious,
valuable work of others that makes
possible the sensational achievement
of the individual.
| when some accomplishment in the
way of community Improvement goes
through in a city like this most Of US
give credit to one or two men who fig
ure prominently in the spotlight.
| We forget all the careful devislng
that goes on behind the scenes. But
unnoticed though tn ework of these
quiet helpers may be it is none the
/ less valuable.
| OF course it is but natural and per-
haps proper to cheer the man earring
the ball but is is also wise not to for
get the work of his team mates who
made possible his sensational perfor.
nance.

DO YOU know, Little Marquise. 1
was a bit curious about what sgd
had Just been saying. His last few
speeches could he taken two ways,
when he told Jack and me that Mel
Vile Sartoris posed as not believing
in virtuous women or honorable
men. You will remember that l i'm
petuously exclaimed that l wished
he had not told me. Then. as though
he spoke before he thought. In al
most warning tone Of voice. he said:
Remember, Leslie. you are, the
Madonna. Of the Shows"
Just what did he mean by that,
Little Marquise? Was he afraid that
I would also be one of those women
who adore" Melville Sartoris?
When Jack remarked with con-
viction, Some day Sartoris will find
a man that is honest and a woman
that is good, and I'd like to be
around when It happens" why did
Sydney say: You probably will
be?"
Even poor old Jack, who is usual
ly very dense to any meaning that
is not expressed on the surface.
sensed there was something in that
sentence that had not been spoken
Jack was satisfied with Syd's an
swer. but 1 thought his platitude
about a man being more able to find
the best woman in America than
anywhere else, was forced. to cover
a bad break.
OF course, I didn't think this,
Little Marquise, that night, for we
started Immediately for the Travel
ers Club, and later went on TO a
show and a dance. But when 1 sat
down here today to write to you. I
had the first chance 1 have had to
think over that whole evening. and
follow out it's undercurrents, and
that is what I am doing.
Melville Sartoris met us at the
club where. in a private dining
room. a most gorgeous table was
set. l did not think that Pittsburgh
was able to do anything so beautiful.

You would find. should you leave
your husband, that your old job
would seem less desirable than It

but you let silly notion about in

Why, l know women who feel as
you do about these rights but
they are happily married to men
with "old.fashioned" views. These
women recognize the fact that it
