Special attention is called to the fact
that two weeks will elapse between

play. This postponement is in response
to the request of many subscribers who
will be absent from the city during the
holiday season and because of the fact
that schools will not have reassembled

school patronage was especially relied
upon to see this play.

MORE INTENSIVE
 FARMING.

It is significant that, while more than 75,0OO farms have been abandoned in the United States since 1920, there has been a marked increase in truck farms near cities and the larger towns. And therein is an answer to the economists who prophecy dire things as a result of the tendency of coun- try dwellers to gravitate to the cities.
 A steady drift to cities from rural districts tends to increase the demand for and curtail production of foodstuffs, but for every farm abandoned

YOUTH AND GUIDANCE.

Despite the vast hubbub con- corning the so-called revolt" of youth, it appears to us that youth is not in revolt, but in quest of knowledge and truth, and if the route is sometimes confused and disconcerting it is mainly because of lack of guidance.
 The young, in search of lead ership, have turned to their parents only to find that all too frequently the men and women of the passing general ion are either lacking in inter- est or engrossed in their own work or pleasure, or make poor leaders because they do not understand and are not in sympathy.
 The reason for the decline of parental guidance is undoubt- edly the rise of the social conscience and the spirit of civic service. This is trend that antedates the jazz age and the igniting of flaming youth. Increasing stress on the individuals duty to the com munity and society has weak ened the sense of duty, or at least cut down the available time for the exercise of the duty to the children at home.
 In other words, there are countless fathers and mothers too engrossed with the duties of community and social lead ership to spare the time for home companionship and par ental leadership.

COMPROMISE.

The only final enemies are the good and the bad, the true and the false. These are at odds in every struggle, even though the human share in their warfare may be confused beyond divination. Yet a man is either sure that he fights for the right or he confesses to himself that the right does not concern him and that his royalties are to be sold for his ambitions. In such strife the sincere man cannot yield un- less he first surrenders his con victions; the man with no con- victions beyond his own ann bitions can and will give ground for what he may get out of it.
 Truth is always under the fire of his enemies and has al- so within the gates of it's cita- del another enemy, who tempts with the quick peace of com promise. This is the traitor who is ready to meet the en- emy on the middle ground where defense surrenders all its advantage or will yield a gate or tower under the spur of fear, and so destroy the in tegrity of his city.
 Much honest conviction and many institutions built upon it have gone through such sur render to expediency. Remem- bering this, clear-sighted and whole-hearted men have small taste for compromise. They fight for their standards or fall beside them and leave to those of lesser faith the haz-

OWNERS SLOW TO ACT
UNDER 1927 FOREST LAW

Farmers and other land owners
have been slow to make use of the
1927 law providing for auxiliary for
ests, says Parker o. Anderson, for
ester of the agricultural extension
service of the University of Mime
sofa. Lack of interest may be large
ly due to lack of information con-
corning the new act, he believes.
Any owner of land may apply to
the county board to have his land clas-
sified as auxiliary forest, after which
a contract is entered into with the
state for a longtime period. While
undergoing reforestation the land
will be taxed at only per cent of
one-third of it's true and full valua-
ton. Commercial forests under de-
velopment under the reforestation
contracts will be subject to an addi-
tional tax of three cents an acre for
fire protection purposes. When the
timber is cut, yield tax Of 10 per
cent of it's full value will become due.
1t will thus be seen that the law
provides for low tax on timber while
it is growing and postpones pay
ment of most of the tax until the
timber is cut and marketed. The
maximum contract period with the
state is for so years, but contracts
NAV be renewed.
