A tenant, he said, would have dl'fl-

until after the crop was sold.

said the cheapest tennaut house on
his place has two rooms and cost $225,
while the largest has four rooms, cost

Would you object to a tenant who
believed in certain principles of gov

while living on your place?" asked Mr.
Walsh.
No," replied Mr. Pagitt, "but
would not liko a tenant who stirred i.p
trouble by talking at the store and try
ing to make other men dislike the
landlord."
'What hours should a tenant spend
at work?" asked Commissioner Walsh.
Well, replied Mr. Pagitt, "In crop

generally work until dark."
