NEW Land Law AIDS
STATE IN SELLING
FORECLOSED FARMS
Only one.Fifth of Price Nov
Required Down, Rest Pay.
able Over 20.Year Period

Passage by the last legislature OF I
bill permitting the sale Of land on
easier terms has enabled the state
land department to dispose Of nearly
1000 acres OF land which 1t had taken
over by foreclosing state school land
loans.
A recent checkup showed that 1888
acres has been sold for cash and that
$50 acres have been sold on contract.
In addition many inquiries have been
received regarding the purchase OF
other land now held by the state.
All Of which warns the heart Of
William Byerly, state land commits
sioner. His department had $4,000
acres Of ~foreclosed land on its hands
when it appealed to the legislature
to change the law to make sale OF
the property easier.
Under the new law, anyone desir.
ing to buy land held by the depart
ment may make application to do SO.
Certain guarantees are required and
the department must obtain from the
land all the money 1t has invested.
with interest. If the property is Of
fered at public sale. however, as the
prospective buyer may request that
1t be offered, the minimum require
ment is that the state must get the
amount it has involved, exclusive Ct
interest.
The result of the change, Byerly
said. is to enable his department to
market land which would have been
left on the hands of the department
indefinitely under the old law, which
required the state to obtain more for
some pieces &. land than prospective
purchasers would pay.
There is a real interest in the
purchase Of land In this state" Byer-
ly said. AT the rate inquiries are
coming in now we should be able to
make a material reduction in the land
we have on hand within the next
year or two
When land is sold on contract, one
fifth Of the purchase price must be
paid at the time Of sale. The re-
mainder is distributed over a period
of 20 years.

In an analysis of the present large

Farnham lists seven principal forces
behind the movement:

The two men did not speak.
In that brief moment Of light I had
seen playing cards and stacks OF

men were playing poker in the ozark
and their cards were exposed! It was

Crouched against the floor, I
fought the horror rising in my breast.
I wa asleep! That was 1t. Of course.
Afterwards, I would laugh at my
crazy nightmare! And yet-and yet
I ran my hands over the floor. Sand
secured my finger ends. I felt of my

Breathing deeply, I lifted my eyes to
the window again. The outlines of the
two heads and shoulders were still
there.

Who are you?" I shrilled.

but somehow I managed to remain
standing.
My trembling hand went out to the
arm of the figure III my right. I felt
a shirt, gritty with sand. Still half
blinded, I could make nothing def

stuff beneath the shirt. I ~fearfully
ran my hand up to the shoulder. No
word OF movement from the figure.
Speak to mel ! implored. "A
word! Oh, speak"
Still that dreadful silence. Horror
crawled within my breast. Ny hand
crept along the shoulder to the neck,
and then to the face.
The flesh was cold.
Something snapped in my brain. All
feeling went out Of my arms and legs
and body and I pitched senseless to

 Perhaps there were other coins in the Bible? Peggy held it face down and shook the leaves, but nothing fell out, and disappointed, she again laid it down in her lap and turned it's pages; some were stuck together from dampness and perhaps paper money, not gold, might be accidentally concealed within the Bible. She laughed aloud at the fantastic idea as she carefully turned one page after another.
 The size of the type was far larger than that used in modern Bibles and she paused now and then to read some of the text
 "As cold water to thirsty soul, so is good news from far country"
 Good news from a far country" :" Peggy repeated the words under her breath; no sentiment could be more in accord with her m ost ardent wishes; how she longed for letters from the Philippines. She knew they would breathe love, hope and en- couragement.
 Peggy paused in turning another page, strangely elated. Out of the whole Bible she had picked out casu- ally a sentence particularly appli- cable to her own situation; it must be an omen-but had she picked it out so casually; instead had her eye not been caught by the black pencil mark under the six words of that particular verse?
 1 As she lowered the Bible, she mo- ticed small arrow on the wide mar gin. It was small, neat and in per feet drawing. Her eyes shifted from it to the verse to which it pointed and she read the words underscorcd by black pencil:
 "'Fret not myself because of evi men "-her eyes strayed across the page to the other underscored words the first she had noticed-there at the margin was the self-same per- fectly drawn arrow.
 Swiftly her eyes travelled back te the left-hand page; at it's foot ap- peared a third arrow pointing. un- mistakably to the verse with othei
