VIENNA IS CHEERFUL IN
 SPITE OF HER REVERSES
Entertainment Galore Furnished Visitors--Livelier Than at Any
 Other Time in History

Vienna, Jan, 2.--At no time in It's history has entertainment been pro- yided for inhabitant or stranger on so liberal scale in Vienna as at present, according to Herr Breitner, the financial expert of the Vienna Municipality. He was addressing a deputation of representatives of every class of entertainment and cooked-food and refreshments pur- veyors, who were pleading for 8 re- duction of the entertainment and luxury taxes levied by the city.
 To justify his unrelenting attitude Herr Breitner said that, although the population of Vienna has de- creased by S00,000, there had been added to the establishments existing prior to 1919 seven play houses with 4,702 seats; five concert halls, add ing 50 per cent to former seating accommodations; moving picture theaters with further seating capa- city of @G,000, and 45 fashionable bars. Moreover, 174 restaurants and POS cafes had installed orchestras There had also been established 32 new permanent and 2S4 seasonal wine gardens, while no fewer than 1000 licenses had been granted by the police in the past ten months for the celebration of casual entertain mcnts and festivities in this city.

FAMILIES HAVE
 SEVERAL AUTOS
This Accounts for Ratio Of
 Licenses

Hartford, Jan, a--Use of more than one car by family Is the req son ascrlbed by the state motor ve- hicle department for the decreasing ratio of the number of licensed auto mobile drivers to tho number of cars registered apparent since the war. There were l3,000 mere licensed op- orators than cars registered for the year ending Wednesday night as against 2i,O0O more licensed drivers than the number of cars registered during the previous year, the depart Inent says.
 Tn many instances where a man and his wife were both licensed for the purpose of driving the same car, now each has car for his or her own use and in not few cases their children have cars of their own," the department says. This condition has been increasingly apparent since the value of used cars has dropped to the lowest level in automobile history, the department declares.
 Working in opposition to this tendency is the increase in the use of motor trucks by large corpora tions which have more than one driver for each truck operated" says the statement.
 While definite figures for 1924 reg lstrations will not be available for some time because of the work Of caring for the rush of late appli- cants for car registration, the depart ment estimated that 224,00O cars had been registered during 1924 and 197, ,0oO operators licensed as against l 169,566 cars registered and 213,590 operators licensed during 1923.

No farmer should plant poor
seed corn next spring.
Poor seed means poor stand. 1t
means that a portion of the field will
remain Idle and unproductive. 1t
means that the yield of corn will be
far short of what it should be 1t
means lost energy and wasted labor.
II means that we must cultivate the
missing hills, the one stalk hills and
the poor, worthless stalks. and receive
nothing in return.
Every year thousands of people
work more than a third of every day
on ground that produces nothing.
The average annual yield of corn
in the United States is about 25 BUSH
els to the acre. Yet there are thou
sands of farmers who grow 60 or 70
and even 80 or 80 bushels to the acre.
In the Corn belt it is customary to
plant three kernels of corn to the
hill. If two of the stalks in the hill
bore nothing and the third stalk
grew very small ear, weighing only
eight ounces, the yield per acre would
be 26 bushels, more than the average
in the United States.
