FARM TENANTRY IN OKLAHOMA DECREASES; OTHER STATES GAIN

t , (Bf Aaaociated Press.) , CHICAGO, Oct. 26. The increase In farm tenantry which has become an issue in Kansas does not appear uniform throughout the central west, according to reports received here from a number of agricultural authorities. While , the majority of the several states heard from report an advance, Wisconsin notes no change, owing to the. opening of new farms, and Oklahoma declares a decrease. Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska .and Ohio show Increases. The situation in the various states named is thus indicated: Farm tenantry In Oklahoma has shown a decrease of 7 percent daring the 10 years since 110,; according to figures from each county compiled by H. H. Shutz, federal statistician for the state. In 1910, farm owners made up 45 percent of the tillers of the Boll, and renters 65 percent, while how owners represent 52 percent and renters 48 jpercent. Nearly ) every section of the state hnM ft dftcrflasfi la the number of

renters,' according to Mr. Shutz, who based his report on returns from all farms in the state, numbering approximately 193,000. Mr. Shutz noted a growing tendency on the part of renters to buy a small tract, from 10 to 20 acres, and rent adjoining land. He said high crop prices have enabled niaay renters to swing into the owner column. "The percentage of rented farms ha remained about the same and, in a few" cases, has increased somewhat in the southern half of Wisconsin, so the economic condition there is not very different from the condition In the corn belt states," Joseph A. Becker, agricultural statistician at Madison. Wis., writes. "However, the large number of new farms being opened up in the northern part of the state, practically all of - which are operated by owners, has more than kept up the percentage of owned farms. Summing up, there has been some tendency toward an increase in 'farm tenancy, but the opening up of new farms operated by owners in the northern part of the state has more than offset this in Wisconsin." Increase in Illinois. Farm tenantry increased four percent Jn-Illinois in the 10-year period from 1909 to 1919 .according to figures compiled by the state department of agriculture at Springfield. Tenantry in 1919 was estimated at 45.5 percent. , . Farm tenantry in Ohio will show only a "slight increase" over 1910, in the opinion of 'A. Q. Falconer, head of the rural economics department at Ohio State university. It will not be more than 5 percent, he estimates. Farm tenantry in Minnesota is steadily increasing because of the advanced prices of farm lands and a hesitancy on the part of many retiring farmers to relinquish title to their lands, according to M. J. Holmberg, state commissioner of agriculture. A material increase in tenantry is reported in the southern counties, where the cost of land Is relatively high. In the- northern section the Increase Is not so marked, Mr. Holmberg said, because the land there commands but a comparatively low price and the influx of immigrants is large. In Nebraska an increase of about four percent in tenant owned farms from 1910 to 1919 is shown in figures supplied by Leo Stuhr, secretary of the state department of agriculture.

Servers of Writs in Ireland

Held Up, Robbed of Writs - (By Associated Piteaa.) DUBLIN, Oct. 26. Wfrit servers, never popular in Ireland, and who in times of excitement had f often to eat their writs, now have been so Intimidated that they do not dare attempt even to serve their documents. In some cases where they took the risk they have been held up txy armed men who took his writs from him. Most of the writs are Issued by the Irish Land Commission claiming arrears of the annuities ofthe purchase money advanced by the government to tenants to enable them to buy their holdings.

New rules have been drafted toJ

meet the emergency ana it has been provided that it shall noqbe necessary to serve a writ. It will be sufficient to mail it by registered letter and advortiuA W in the local uaners. The

jmere fact of mailing is enough, so 1 that nothing will be gained by holding

up the mail carrier.

Baron Raymond de Waha.

Baron Raymond de Waha is the first accredited diplomatic representative from the grand duchy of Luxemburg to the United States. Shortly after his arrival in Washington he left Cor visits to Chicago.

The baron is grateful to President Wilson for the latter's advocacy of Luxemburg's autonomy in Paris and expects to see the president before he returns to Europe. Baron de Waha's diplomatic excursion is only temporary. He expects to return tc Luxemburg soon, where he is minister of agriculture. '

Police, Soldiers Now Guard

Mail Handling in Ireland (By Associated Press) CORK, Oct. 26. A state of excitement, which is difficult for Americans and Englishmen to appreciate unless experienced, prevails in Cork and throughout Ireland. i The following can be given as au illustration: As the Associated Press correspondent was passing the geriterei postoffice the other day a motor truck filled with soldiers and police, with rifles at ready, dashed in the main

entrance. Several of them descended

and entered the postoffice, one police

man holding a revolver, posting him

self In the doorway.

This was nothing more than the posting of military mails, the elaborate

precautions taken being due to a dar

ing exploit recently when the govern

ment mail bag was snatched from a soldier as he was leaving the postoffice. The bag was not recovered.

Store Arrangement Highly Important. Success in retailing depends ninety

percent on selling and ten percent on buying, some successful business men say. The other version is goods wisely bought and quickly sold.

A large factor In easy, selling is

store arrangement. Go into a successful drug store and study the store arrangement. JuBt at the front door to

catch the "drop-in-drop-out" trade is the cigar stand, right next to the mag

azine rack to catch a magazine sale

to the man who drops in to buy cigars and also to catch a cigar customer in the man who wants a magazine. Across the aisle is the candy counter. And next to it is the perfume. Lo and behold, there are hair brushes and toilet articles to attract the atteniton of the perfume customer. So it is, all the way througn, a well

arranged drug store. Related articles which will sell each other are group

ed together. This principle of sue cessful selling Is realized and follow ed by smart retailers.

The prescription counter is in the back, so the customer with a prescription to be filled will have to walk by all the other merchandise. Put necessities in the back of your store so that

people will have to pass other things to go where they are. The grocery department of a department store should never be In the front. Put it on an upstairs floor so that the grocery customer will go through your store in getting to groceries which she has to buy. Every retailer, large and small, can profitably study his store arrangement.

Supreme Court May Decide

Esch-Cummings Act Meaning (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Oct. 26. The supreme

court may be asked to interpret the

Esch-Cummings transportation act as a result of the certification to the railway labor board of a number of wage disputes involving employes of electric

railroads. The board has been hearing arguments for two weeks on the question of whether or not it has jurisdiction under the act over such lines.

A decision is not expected before

next week. Either side may appeal

to the courts if not satisfied with the board's decision, and members predict

ed today that an appeal would be

taken. Representatives of electric

railway employes in several cases now pending before the board argue that the electric lines, as .feeders of steam railroads, are part of the steam road

system.
