"I believe that Jerusalem, after the war. will be oorue the moral center for the world .-aid Sir .Mark Sykes, a British nuihoritv on the affairs of the Near Kai. iu an interview here. "There is todav throughout the v.orid." he explained, "a deep rooted isire that this war shall be the last war. Hut if this hope is to be rea lized, there nnist.be some force which will control nations. People talk of The Hssrue Conference, and vet wo know that hitherto these con ferences have been, and may be again in the future, just hypocritical con versations between lawyers, diplo mats and soldiers preparing: for fresh hostilities. Higher Moral Force There. "Moral force and physic: 1 must be at the disposal of whatever author ity mankind desires to set up to shield the world from war. But the phvsical force of a League of Na tions must be at the call of a moral force higher than The Hague. If you look at Jerusalem, are there not moral forces there stronger than any man could imagine the moral forces of Calvary and sacrifice, the moral forces of Zion and eternal hope, the moral forces of Ir-lam and obedience?"

Russians will visit Jerusalem in a flood rising perhaps to two or three hundred thousand. I can imagine even that the pope himself might call his children to a pilgrimage of repentance, and untold numberr, responding to the call.

Turkish Rule is at An End. "After the war we shall have a civilized regime in Palatine, for I cannot imagine even the Central Powers declaring that there can be no peace unless the Turk returns to Jerusalem. The Turk has been there tince the days of Selim the Grim, and consequently there have been at work forces which have used Jeru salem for the purpose of fomenting discord in Christendom, of holding Jewry at arm's length, and promot ing war and ill feeling among all ii: en. "What of the future? We need not (picstiou who is going to be in Je rusalem. It is sufficient to know that the Turk has gone, and that Je rusalem is therefore minus a strong positive force for ill.

The above facsimile of check represents the landlord's share from 74 acres of the 1917 wheat crop grown on part of the S. W. Quarter of Section 2, Township 7, Range 41, Chase County, Nebraska. Mr. Ernest Jones, of Macedonia, la., bought this land from me on February 24th 1917, for $20.00 per acre. At the time of purchase there was 74 acres in cultivation and seeded to fall wheat; the purchaser was to receive delivered to market without expense Yz of the crop. This means that the 74 acres cost Mr. Jones $1,480.00 and from the first crop and within ten months paid him on the investment $1,225.21; the renter who farmed the land retained of the crop, amounting to $2,450.42. Total returns from this 74 acres $3, 675.63, practically $50.00 per acre or 2!2 times the original cost of the land. ' We are still selling land of this class for $30.00 per acre. Mr. A. J.
