6,448,363 FARMS IN U. S. AVERAGE 148 ACRES EACH 1920 Census Shows Gain in Number and Size Over 1910. GRAZING AREAS TILLED June —The Bureau f ‘ fV ' p ; ' "•••:’ .A Ty . J*,i--' %J raagKjSplPwfcg tBSt ■,v i • manager is considered a farm number of farms in the United on Jan. 1, 1920, according to the fourteenth census, was 6.448.366, as compared with 6,361.502 on April 15, 1910, representing an increase of 8C.564, or 1.4 per cent. TOTAL FARM ACREAGE GAINS OVER 1910. The total area of land in farms in 1920 was 955.676.645 acres, as compared with 878,798.325 acres in 1910, showing an increase of 76.578.220 acres, or 8.7 per cent. The greater part of this increase wa* reported from the States of the mountain division, where considerable land has been taken up for ‘dry farming" purposes under the new homestead laws, and where large areas have been acquired for grazing purposes. Outside of the mountain States, the three States showing the largest increases in farm acreage were North Dakota, South Dakota and Xe fcraska. Improved land in farms includes all land regularly tilled or mowed, land in pasture which has been cleared or tilled, land lying fallow, land In gardens, or- ] chards and vineyards, and land occupied by farm buildings. Os such land, 506,982,301 acres were reported in 1920, as tompared with 478,451.750 acres In 1910. The increase in Improved land thus amounted to 28,530,551 acres, or 6 per cent. * WOODLAND IN FARMS SHOWS DECREASE. Woodland, as the term was defined for use in the farm census, includes all land covered with natural or planted forest trees which produce, or later may produce, firewood or other forest prodnets. The acreage of such woodland Included In the farm area in 1920 was 168.615,122, as compared with 190,865,553 In 1910. These figures indicate a decrease of 2L.2fr0.431 acres, or 11.7 per cent. The decrease in the acreage of woodland in farms doubtless represents a part of the general decrease in the woodland area of the country. Farm woodland, however, represents only a •mall part of the total forest area. This classification includes all farm land which is neither improved land nor woodland. The acreage of such land reported In 1920 was 280.079,122, as compared with 209,481.022 in 1910. The Increase of 70,598,100 acres, or 33.7 per cent, doubtless includes considerable areas of woodland which has been cut over and large areas of pasture or grazing land which have recently been made into farms. The average size of the farms in the United States was 148.2 acres, as compared with 138.1 acres in 1910. The average acreage of improved land per farm in 1920 was 78.6 acres, as compared with 75.2 acres in 1910.

MEMORIAL FOR MASONS IS HELD Organization Recognized as Force for Good, Speaker Says. “Cheerful, helpful anil bracing. Masonry shall never decline, shall never be overthrown and Its Influences will go on making better men and better women.” said the Rev. Louden A. Harriman, of Princeton, who delivered the principal address, yesterday afternoon at the annual St. John's day memorial service of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of the Valley of Indianapolis In the Murat theater. After speaking of some of the things that are atcompllshed by Masonry, he said: “Furthermore. Masonry is recognised in this country as a powerful force for patriotic effort and has ever exerted tremendous Influence for Americanization.” Preceding the address, the services were opened with singing •‘America” by the audience, led by the Scottish Rite choir, the invocation was pronounced by the Rev. Lewis Brown; the Scripture reading was by the Rev. A. Ambrose Dunkel and two solos were sung by Earl R. Cartwright, of Portland, Ind.

Mr. Brown gave the Invocation, which was followed by the singing of ‘The Star-Spangled Banner.”

PLAN A VETERANS’ SCHOOL IN MAINE Will Be Camp as Well—Only Few Miles From Coast. BOBTON, June 27-—The bracing breezes of the Maine coast will be resorted to this summer for the rehabilitation of nearly two hundred disabled World War veterans, students nnder the Federal Board of Vocational Education. The Boston University summer camp and school at Ellsworth, Maine, established last year as the first of its kind In the country, is to be conducted again. It will be twice the size of the school a ypar ago. The first camp school wag so successful that it is leing used as a model for similar camps in other States, according Federal Board officials. The veterans, gathered from the New England States, will start July 4 for Ellsworth, a small city situated among rolling bills #n the Union River, a few utiles from the coast and mid*ay between Bangor and Bar Harbor. Federal Board students in the Southern States have been Invited to attend, and the rehabilitation camp may be further extended from this source. Besides the recreational features, the school will offer courses in languages, finance, advertising, acounting and public speaking. Included In the faculty will be members of tile staff of the Boston University College of Business Administration and of its Havana (Cuba) branch. O. A. R.

MACLEAN PROVES THAT P. T. BARNUM’S THEORY IS 0. K. Mix Is a Western Romeo—Ray on View—De Haven Farce Is Speedy Affair

My dad is a great believer in what P. T. Bartium once said —“One is born every minute.” In preparing me for the “battle” of life, he preached that so much to me that I began to jm believe it was one of the ten i .-ommandments. !

T. Barnurn did, beDouglas Mac Lean, cause Mac iu this movie works on the basis that there are actually sixty fools to every minute of very hour and he proves It. Any story containing so many “fools" must be a foolish affair and that is just what "One a Minute” is. And let me tell you that you don't have to be one of the sixty to laugh at this movie. You can be of the minority and yell yourself sick at this crazy movie. Mac Lean is one of those comedians who radiates a cool breeze in the summer time and during the winter causes a warm glow of satisfaction to creep over you as you chuckle at his antics. Mac is Jimmy Knight, a breezy fellow, who returns to Centerville to operate the drug store of his late father. The old gentleman had worked on a formula which would cure all. Jimmy arrives at the old-fashioned drug store just as a drug syndicate Is abont to open a stylish druA store with a soda fountain, behind which is a soda mixer with bis hair nicely greased and with all the clerks in niee white coats and the like. Poor Jimmy knows that unless something happens he will go out of existence. Jimmy has a friend lr Jingo Pitts, the speedy editor of the only paper In Centerville. Jimmy decides to tell the world that he has discovered his lae father's formula for the “cure all.” Jimmy and Jingo mix up the “cure al!,” which consists of charcoal, Fuller's earth, ginger and pepsin—pepsin was put in so a baby could digest It. Old man Silas Rogers, the big gun of the up-to-date drug company, attempts to buy Jimmy out for $2,000, but Jimmy has faith in what Barnnm said. With a swing of the arm he refuses the check and announces that he will fight the drug trust. Just as the rival dfug store Is to open. Jinfco springs an extra telling the town all about the wonderful cure at Jimmy's drug store. The crowd turns down the new drug shop and hurries over to the old Knight stand. A fat lady faints and she is “brought to" by the mysterious “cure all powder." Old Grandma Knight, an old-fashioned woman who loves to have pains, takes a powder and her youth is restored. A big negro takes a powder and his pain in the legs leaves so rapidly that he dances all over the place. Everybody has faith but old man Rogers. Hundreds of people are engaged to make the powder. Os course Jimmy is afraid that some wise fool will discover that his powder contains no curative properties. Jimmy hag a merry time. a.d in the end old man Rogers Joins one of the sixty who are born every minute and he pays Jimmy a cold million and a hajf for the formula. He also (onsents to become Jimmy's fatherin-lair . Opinion—“One a Minute" is Just light, crazy fun which is reproduced on the screen for laughing purposes only. It's snappy summer time amusement. I am beginning to think that my good old father hammered Barnura's Idea into me because of the fear that I might have been one of the sixty. Whether or not yon are one of the sixty an hour, you will be refreshed by visiting the Ohio this week and laughing at the craziest movie you have ever seen. At the Ohio all week —W. D. H.

CARI.OTTA WAS GOOD. THEN SHE BECAME WILD. I had the feelin’ that if Carlotta Peel, the central character in “Sacred and Profane Love,” lived in Indianapol!st?she might be the center of all the gossip in the city. Carlotta Peel is not the sort of a charaster you would meet at a Sunday school picnic. Carlotta's specialty seemed to be married men and curly haired pianists. The truth is at times In the unfolding of the "love” affairs of Carlotta in the movie version of "Sacr“d and Profane Love,” that I got the idea that Carlotta was a vampire at heart who nursed her misfortunes and scandal under the guise of love betrayals. Her male victims always blamed her for their downfall and one very accommodatingly fatally shot himself In her apartments. Face to face with a public scandal she decides to rescue Emille Diaz, pianist, who had become a nobody after an affair with Carlotta. Emilie was the chap who aroused all the vampire feeling In Carlotta while he was playing Chopin at a concert. That. I admit, is putting a lot of responsibility on tbe name of Chopin. So Carlotta discovers the wreck of the famous pianist, in a French wine Joint, carts him to her apartments, calls In a barber and In the end Emille again becomes the world’s greatest pianist. And to reward Carlotta, he consents to make her his wife. He was a perfect dear, you know, for doing that, but If I had been Carlotta I would hava given Emille the. “air," so to speak. Paramount was generous in casting “Sacred and Profane Love” because Elsie Ferguson has the Carlotta role and Conrad Nagel is cast as the curly haired Etnilie. Thomas Holding is cast as Frank Ispenlove, the poor fool who blew his own brains out at the feet of Carlotta. Personally. I failed to see any “sacred love” In this film tragedy. Oh. it has been skillfully handled and movie fans will get into many arguments over the question of whether Carlotta really sinned or not. Miss Ferguson does the best she can with an unpleasant role. Further than that the deponent sayeth not. At Loew's State all week. Nearly forgot to tell you that the music is great.—W. D. H. -I- -I- -ITHE DE HAVENS SPEED ALONG IN MERRY FARCE.

One never cun tell what he is getting into when one enters a taxicab. and Bertie was no exception to the rule. What Bertie got into, besides the taxi, was a lot of trouble for himself, the girl, Papa, Cousin Percy, the opportune cougber, and Frederick Smith, who is “terrible in his uniform.” It wasn't much trouble, only this— Bertie took Smith's wife, who happened to be the “Girl iu the Taxi," to supper, where he runs into Cousin Percy, Papa. Smith, a tig copper, and several others, the mixture for which lends Itself to scenes which must be acted, or seen, and not imagined, to be appreciated. To see Mr. and Mrs. Carter De Haven taking the roles of Bertie and “The Girl in the Taxi," one would never think they were man and wife, for they certainly throw a wicked clandestine supper. King Baggot, who is a perfume manufacturer, and who is “terrible in uniform” of a Guv'nor's stuff. lends admirable support to the I>e Havens. King is a welcome figure always, and his return to tlie local silver screen in this picture proves bis popularity has not waned. The De Havens’ admirable work is supported well by the entire cast. Opinion: “The Girl in the Taxi” is a sure fire laugti producer, and its Intricate comical plot, and its depiction of the Intricacies of love, combine to form one of the lest gloom chasers shown in la dianapolis for some time.

One may take one's choice deciding which is the feature at the Alhambra this week, whether it is the Dempsey-Car pen tier views, or Tom Mix In “A Kidin' Romeo.” Tom is shown with Rhea Mitchell, in an unique western picture, staged In that territory where they feed the chickens cracked ice to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs.

DOG TAX IS NOT LICENSE ON DOG Former Due May 1 and Latter July 1. Due to the fact that Lie public falls to remember that there are two kinds of taxes on dogs, the township tax and the city license, the city controller's office at the city hall has been bugy for several days telling people that they are not delinquent In the payment of the city fee. Several days ago Township Assessor Mike Jefferson issued warning that trouble was brewing within a few daya for persons who did not pay their deg taxes, whi n became delinquent after the first Monday in May. From the nurater of persons who have come to the city controller's office and attempted to take out city dog licenses, which are not due until July 1, deputy controllers believe everybody must have forgotten there is such a thing as the township tax. Those who come to the city hall on this errand are being sent to the courthouse.

WEIGH CHILDREN AGAINST PURSES NEXT THURSDAY (Continued From Page One.) The excuse offered by school boards of the past for not doing this work was that the school city was “broke” and could not afford to have the work done. In addition to the regular brick building the school city purchased four old, cheap, rental residences and converted them into temporary school quarters. If these four buildings were thrown on the market today it is doubtful If they would bring $l5O apiece, and many complaints have been received of dampness and bad ordors emanating from their cellars. To relieve this condition the board plans the erection of an eight-classroom addition and the remodeling of the present brick structure at a cost of about $206,000. This will take care, not only of all pupils now attending No. 16. but will assist in relieving congested conditions existing in neighboring schools. The fact that there is a bridge over White River at New York street will make it possible to bring some children to No. 16 from the east side of the hirer, where schools are crowded NORTH SIDE BUILDING VERT I ABLE FIRE TRAP. One of the worst fire traps in the city for years has been No. 36 at Capitol avenue. Twenty-Eighth street and Kenwood avenue. This building, according to members of u delegation of residents of the neighborhood at a recent school board meeting, has been condemned on three separate occasions by the State fire marshal. The building is oVercrowded and half day sessions are necessary in some rooms. Two old frame residences on thi Kenwood avenue side of the property

have been converted into school buildings. An eigbt-classroom structure is planned for this site and in addition the old building will be remodeled and made safe for the children. This work will cost about $242,009 unless prevented by the ten taxpayers. For twenty years half day sessions have been the rule at 38, Winter and Bloyd avenues, and not long ago a woman resident of the neighborhood told the board that almost that long ago a school board promised anew building. This building is a serious fire hazard and will require remodeling to make It safe. This together with a r.ew eight-classroom addition will cost about $200,000. Last on the list is No. 62 at East Tenth and Wallace streets. This antiquated old shack, constructed of wood and stucco, with most of the stucco missing, came down as an heirloom to the Indianapolis board of school commissioners from the old days when it was a township school outside the boundaries of the city. Its four rooms constantly are full of drafts, the wind whistles through it and when a real breeze swings into action the building rocks In a manner that would make It seem better equipped for a training ship than for a school building in an Inland city. BUILDING ALSO HAS BAD HEALTH RECORD. The building has a bad health record and has been condemned on more than one occasion. Half day classes are necessary and even then in order to take care of the growing number of school children in a growing section of the city it has been found necessary to send a lot of youngsters over to No. 58 and No. 57 which, already are crowded to capacity. Here the board plans to do some repair vrork on the old building and to erect a new ten-room addition to cost about $200,000. And these are the Improvements that are being opposed by the ten taxpaying

Realtors Furnish Flat Hunter With Car in Chicago Now! CHICAGO, June 27.—Eight thousand apartments were vacant here as the result of a tenants’ strike against high rentals, records at the Cook County Real Estate Board showed today. Most of the apartments that are vacant are the ones which carry the highest rentals. Tenants have doubled up and moved to cheaper quarters In the suburbs to escape high rents, it was believed. Renters who used to trudge all over the city, looking for quarters, are now taken to apartment hunting in autos of anxious real estate operators.

remonstrators of the Taxpayers' League. Part of their attack is directed against the bond issue for these buildings on the ground that the Snldej &. Rotz and L. A. Snider contracts are illegal. They may be; on that there is considerable divergence of legal opinion. That they are inadvisable is admitted by many friends of the present majority faction of the school board; but that the lives of hundreds of school children should be held in daily jeopardy of fire for an indefinite period merely because the board has entered into some objectionable contracts for engineering work and building advisor services, is incredible. These buildings are needed more than any other buildings in Indianapolis, and they should be built at the earliest opportunity.
