not calculated to add to the price he
would like to get for it.
INCREASE IN TENANCY
There has been an unfortunate in
crease in farm tenancy in recent
years in the northwest.
When I grew up, in the northwest
ern corner of Iowa, the northeastern
corner of Nebraska and the south
eastern corner of what then was Da-
kota Territory, a farmer was the
owner of a farm.
During the last milk strike, after a
lapse of IS or 40 years, visited the
same neighborhood.
What change!
l found most of the landowners
mostly small city folk; most of the
farmers, tenants.
Most of the original farmers had
sold out at wartime figures, or en-
numbered their acres on a ridiculous
wartime basis, subsequently losing
them under foreclosure or for taxes,
holdings thus being consolidated.
1t is not so bad as in the south, but
it has been gravitating in that direc-
ton.
WHAT POLITICAL TREND?
Consequently it is difficult to esti-
mate the northwest's political trend.
The old-time land-owning farmer
was conservative He had his far
meristic prejudices. But he had a To-
cal stake; he wasn't a nomad
The tenant is movable. He can af-
ford to be more radical.
The conservative landowner has in
fluence but the relatively radical ten
ant has numbers. Both count in cleo
tons; sometimes one, predominantly,
sometimes the other.
Reckoning between them is a mat
ter of guesswork.

assistant director of the highway
safety division of the Department of
Revenue
In addition, the division revoked
178 licenses, a majority of them for
drunken driving, and refused to Ii
cense 178 drivers who made applica-
tons, the figures show. Most of those
to whom licenses were refused were
either unable to pass the examination
given all drivers who now apply for
licenses, or because they were re-
garded as being incompetent to drive
an automobile Hocutt said
The total number of drivers whose
licenses have been revoked up to Sep
TENDER 1 is 5,194, including the 178
revoked during August. y
The licenses of 159 drivers were
suspended during August larger
number than usual. The division is
now suspending the licenses of all
drivers who appeal to higher courts
when convicted of offenses in lower
courts for which the revocation of
licenses is mandatory, such as drunk
en- driving, reckless driving, and so
forth, Hocutt said. In the past a good
many drivers have tried to delay the
revocation of their licenses by ap-
pealing convictions to the higher
courts and thus continue to drive
their cars. But for several months
now the safety division has been
thwarting these efforts by suspend
ing the licenses of all drivers who
take appeals to higher courts pending
the hearing of the appeal. The depart
ment also has authority to suspend
| licenses for many other offenses.
The division also issued 1890 chaul-
feurs' licenses during August, bring
ing the total number of chaufeurs
licenses so far, at So each, to 1888.

May Shorten Session.
The fact that there isn't going to
be any highway surplus left for the
next General Assembly to haggle over
should result in a greatly shortened
session, many observers believe, for
the reason that it will forestall the
introduction of many bills aimed at
the expenditure or diversion of the
surplus. A good many also think If
will result in the sudden death of anv
more bills designed to reduce either
motor vehicle or gasoline taxes since
with no surplus to fall back on. the
advocates of more and better hioh-
way maintenance can insist that M
further reduction in highway fund
revenues can be made without great
ly curtailing present road mainten-
ance, already regarded by many as
inadequate.
During the 1885 General Assembly
more than a score of bills were in
troduced aimed at the highway sur
plus. Representative Tam G.. Bowie of
Ashe county, offered a bill which
would have distributed this surplus
back to the counties to be spent for
any purposes they might DESIRE 9th
er bills would have given the cities
and towns a part of it. If all of the
bills had been passed. the total would
have amounted to about $48, 900 600 in
stead of $13,50O,O00. But the chances
for similar grab bills in the 1897 sos
sion have now faded.

1. 1t is time to prepare the ground
and sew the seed for a new lawn.
The soil should be prepared six to
eight inches deep and a generous APP

manure mixed with the soil.
2. An application of commercial
plant food this, month, around the
roses will increase the quality and
quantity of fall blooms.
3. Decide on the varieties and num-
/ err of bulbs you want to plant this
fall and make up the order.
A. It is also time to think about
preparing for your fall planting of
