CASH RENT FARMING GOING INTO DISCARD Impossible to Pay Cash Rent Given As Cause. Share Rent Better. Fifty per cent of the cash renters of farms in Indiana have changed to the share rent system since 192 b, according to O. G. Lloyd of the farm management department of Purdue university. Three hundred and fifteen reports received this year from eigthy-foui of the state’s ninety-two counties by the department show only eight per 1 cent now rented for cash, as com- , pared with 16.2 per cent in 1920. The change—the first of any conse* quence in forty years—has beew caused by the shift of war prices of farm products to peace prices, it was . said. I “Cash renters who signed five year leases in 1915 had unusual opportunities to make money,” Mr. Lloyd said. “Those who signed cash leases in 1920 in most cases found it impossible to pay the rent.” Students Return To Universities The majority of students who have been spending the holidays at their homes left for their respective colleges and universities the first part ■ of this week. The opening dates of the various schools fell mainly on Monday and Tuesday, and the exodus of students took place usually in the final moments of vacation. In addition to the added interest in home gatherings, the appearance of the students here during the holidays | has given a social impetus to activities. Many parties have been elven in their honor and have drawn a large attendance from those who are privileged to attend such home functions only at vacation time. Homing Instinct Strongly Developed in the Pig A pig belonging to ■ Texas farmer was sold to a dealer who lived eight miles away. The morning after the sale the pig reappeared In its old sty. having escaped from Its new quarters during the night. The homing instinct is stronger in the pig than In Burnt animals. An In stance similar to the above occurred In Illinois, where a pig traveled 14 miles buck to Its old home, after l»e ing sold in u loca* im rket. Darwin believed the pig capable of ■ I developing the sagacity of a dog. For j | example, a sow belonging to a Wis । con^in farmer was trained to hunt 1 game, at which it became more ex ; pert than most pointers. The fame ■ of this animal spread far and wide, and tempting offers were made to buy I H. ■ Records show that pigs In former 1 days were often used as he:i>ts of bur i den. while there is .it least one well ; authenticated Instance of a pig being 1 employed for rounding up sheep. Per ■ haps the nio^i curious use so which ' the speck's has ever been put was to | draw a carriage tor an eccentric Eng- | hsh nobleman. Young Wolves in Packs As a rule, wolves travel in packs j only in the winter. 'llie mating Ma- ! son for most wolves Is in December and January. The young are born in burrows usually i-xnnated by the wolves themselves. During the period of confinement the male feeds the female. There are generally from four to six cubs in a litter. Tiny are blind for 21 days and are stickled for about two months. At the end of one month they are able to eat half digested flesh disgorged by the mother. They usually quit their parents In No vember or December, just before the pairing season, when they are less than a year old, but frequently the yuung remain together six or eight months longer. Wolves reach maturity In about three years. Hence the only young wolves found in packs are half-grown wolves which have left their mothers.—Pathfinder Magazine. Pythons Sold by Yard When shows and museums find it necessary to replenish their stock of pythons and boas they usually have to buy them by the yard, according to Popular Mechanics Magazine. New York forms the center of the snakeimporting industry in America, and each year men from there to Africa, India, Sumatra and South Annul ca, returning in the spring with him deeds of the big reptiles. A seven-foot python can be had for about S2O. according to snake dealers, while a length of 25 feet —found in the regal specimens from Sumatra —runs the price up from S6OO or S7OO. Boas come .smaller. Sixteen feet is said to be the maximum at an age of eight or ten years. In price these also start at about S2O and run as high as S2OO. Taught Care of Books Every child in Los Angeles upon entering the third grade is taught how to borrow books from the library and how to take care of books. The children’s librarian visits each third-grade room and explains to the pupils the ’ use of the library. Iler aim is to arouse an interest in reading and teach the children to care for the books, says School Life. Following this a letter is written to the parents urging their co-operation in the correct use of the library. In addition a leaflet, entitled "How To Borrow Books," is distributed among the library’s pa-; trons. GOOD WILL. Advertising creates good-will, not in unrelated units, but in the mass. | It fosters, and even commands, fair j dealing. . It establishes the confidence of the dealer and consumer alike, not i by T hundreds, but by millions. And, advertising like any other form of creative energy, works best and produces most, when under ex- j perienced direction and intelligent restraint.

Houser. I know there’s little children there, Little hearts that fret and care, For close beside the corner stood, A sparkling big snow man; Tiny hands so sweet and true. Trying to make folks like me and you, Just like they’ve heard that sculptors do. In some happy, dreamy land. And tireless hands that never cease, Have labored on this masterpiece, Have struggled on with hopeful hearts, And never thought of loss; We love to watch them in their play. From early morn, till close of day And guard them in the night time gray, i When storms about them toss. [ While with the light of coming day, This fine snow man will melt away, ' Just like the dreams that we have built, I In Time that’s past and gone; O children, with what art and skill, . You shaped each part, with mdnd and will, Do not grow tired, ’tis better still To strive and labor on.
