One strange thing about these blazes
is that they are several feet higher
than those put on trees by woods­
men of today. This fact has given
rise to a sort of superstition that
Washington, known to ..have been
very tall, was actually a giant.
Other authorities have said that
Washington did much of his work
on horseback and made his blazes
with a long-handle ax from the
saddle.

The rented farm is one of the
vital questions of the age. The
tenant farmer does not expect to
stay long, so he loots the land.
Why not? It is no advantage to
him tp improve the soil for others.
He will not reap benefits so he
makes no improvements. He takes
what he c?m as quickly as he can,
and when he leaves, the farm is
robbed of its most precious posses­
sion—fèrtility.
It is useless to condemn the ten­
ant; the, fault is with the tenure.
Uncertain, indefinite possession of
the soil is harmless. And, with the
older farmers retiring to the cities
to liye on their profits, and the
younger generation seeking other
employment than agriculture, the
problem is one demanding serious
thought and effort.

Whist undoubtedly Is derived from
the old game of trumps, which has a
purely - English lineage. There is no
record of the origin of this game nor
of its development into ruff and hon­
ors. which was the parent of whist
The earliest reference to it is believed
to be in a sermon, of Latimer about
the year 1529 The name probably is
derived from the “hist” or “silence”
which close attention to play demands

Glasgow’s Pavements.
According to an excellent custom in
Glasgow, before any street is paved
or repaved all city departments that
may be likely to open the street are
communicated- With so as to give them
an opportunity to examine their pipes
or make necessary repairs, alterations
or renewals before the paving is laid.

The Renter

j Farmers Attention
intensivet farming on small tracts.
Comparatively few men can own a
thousand acres. Fewer still can
bring a thousand acres to their full
productive capacity.
More good
livings can be made off forty acres
than off one hundred and sixty
acres.
Land is of greater value than
most of us believe. We know of
men who make good money off five
acres of soil which naturally is but
tolerable fertile.
The ownership of -a small tract of
land by many will be infinitely bet­
ter than the ownership of large
tracts by a few. It will be better
for the many and ultimately better
for the few, too. It will be better
for the entire country—better for
the farmers, better for the city
dweller, better for the great indus­
tries of the nation.
Waste is economic crime, and
there is nothing more wasteful than
failing to get the best out of the
soil. And the renter never does it;
and he never will. He skims the
cream and lets the milk sour. The
big farmer is guilty of the same
thing because the farm is too big.
The small farmer—the man who has
just enough land to attend to in the
best way poseible—is thé one who
builds up, together with his own
fortune the fortunes of the nation.
