Many of the kites show unusual ln- fenuity and originality on the part of lie young kltemakers. An'mals, kites without tails, kites larger than the own-era, kites that look like they would take a submarine dive quicker than a flight Into the- air, are all represented. Odd decorative devices and strange wrinkles are to be seen In numbers. The contest has drawn a large audience of both children and adults. Many of those present ara visitors from the other bay cities who are interested in the novel exhibition.

Wong Glng of Grant avenue, San Francisco, Ts expected to appear during the day with an eighty-six foot dragon kite which is a veritable monster of the air, requiring two persons to handle and bring down earth once the thrashing monster, is aloft. Thl kite has rolling eyes of glass and a dragon head. Ita owner, a young Chinese of Kan KrancHsco, has created no little stir by flying his kite in Ifayette square across the bay. The exhibition of kite work by Dr. F.

H. Klehl, inventor of the life aaving kite, proved of great Interest, as well as the kite work of Professor LInsley of Mills Seminary, a melologlcal expert.

If you must go "back to the land" do not go as a tenant. Is the advice of Colonel Harris 'Welnstock of the State Market Commission.

Colonel Welnstock addressed the Berkeley center of the California Civic League at Its meeting this week. He said the commission had been astounded to find tp what an extent land tenancy had Increased In this state. For the relief of the farmer he urged three measures: Extension ofj rural credits, land colonization' by tfi state and a state system of markets for farm produce. California's state has approached that of Ireland undtr Ula old gystem of landlordism, "Tenancy spells degeneration," ha tlmtu. in uui' MiVMWaauuii, the Mtnie Rural Credits Commission was surprised to find hdw much tenancy has Increased in Of 600,000 acres of land along the Sacramento river, for Instance, know aa among the richest tracts of fa nn land in tb world, 75 per cent is farmed by XanrtBt.

and of them, 75 per cent are Orlni. "The ownars the highest possible rental for tit land and the tenant takes out of the soil Just a much as he can to overcome his expenses, and puts back Just as little. He Is here today and there tomorrow; he Is never certain that he will have the farm for more than one year. As a consequence, the soil Is degenerating and Its productivity Is slowly diminishing. "We do not have to blaza the wy If we decide upon state colonization.

Australia and nations In Europe already have shown us how. There Is no risk on the state'a part In advancing money to the farmer. If anything, such advances tie him more certainly to the soil, removed the menace of uncertainty under which he now Uvea and which at any moment may result in his losing a life's savings. "Those, who dwell In cities may not hope for prosperity until the tiller of the soil Is prosperoua Tha farmer I the breadwinner of tha commonwealth, and It behooves the rest of us, not only to encourage him to remain on the soil, but to aid him to be prosperous there."

Oakland Tribune's Burton Holmes Travelogues Coupon GOOD FOR' SCHOOL CHILDREN ONLY AT THE MACDONOUGH THEATER Any Special Matinee Daily at 4 P.M. Monday to Saturday, April 17 to 22. presentation of this Coupon and ten cents. Good for any seat in the theater. Charles Dickens, in hlB great novel of "Little Dorrlt," described the awful horrors thut existed in un Knslish prison where unfortunate men were Imprisoned for debt and brought aljout prison reform in that country.

There have been lots ol smiidali, in Hie United tiutna over tho way in which home of. the prisons u.re manured, prominent penologists say that the average priM.n treutment makes the inmates worae. Some prison wardens think that brutality is the best way lu cure crime. That is a bits mistake. Hrutal treatment in the great Krench prison of the Bastile caused a revolution In France In 1793, coat Louis of France ana hla unfortunate queen, Marie Antoinette, their lives and turned Fiance into a republic.

When Uncle Sam'a soldiers went to the Philippines In 189S and took that country away from Spain, theyound the Hlllbid prison wag a disgrace to humanity and civilization. Some of the deeds done behind Its walls would make one's blood turn cold. Was it any wonder that the Filipino and the savage Moro and Igorotte turned to more' deeds of crime and bloodshed after serving a term in the awful dungeons of Hilibld? But lncle 8am has changed all that system of brutality. Take a trip with Burton Holmes through Bllibld, via the Travelogues' easy chair route, and see the Improvement now. The Filipino or the Moro or the savage Igorotte who has broker the law and is sent to Blllbld Is not punished for his crimes.

Being deprived of hla liberty enables him to learn a useful trade and have a chance to earn an honest living when he la set free. He is well housed and clothed and fed and he Is taught to read and write and his savage nature la changed by kindness and the result Is that the records of Bllibld prison show that very few of the convicts ever break the laws after being; set free; on the contrary, they-tell others of what they have learned while in the prison and how good the "Americano" ha been nnd this Is but one of the ways that Uncle Sam is benefiting the Philippines and spreading education and civilisation amor.g the native who have lived in daVkftess for centuries and who were brutalized by their Spanish conquerors. There is a whole lot to learn of what Is going on' in this world by seeing the Burton Holmes Travelogues, and travel means education and broadening one'a mind and that Is why The TRIBUNE has arranged the special dally matinees at 4 p. m. for next week's engagement of the Travelogues at the Macdonough theater, so that the school children of the bay cities may learn a great deal that will be useful to them.

It will only cost the children TEN CENTS for the best seat In the theater at these special matinees, by cutting out the coupon printed below and presenting It with ONE DIME at the box office of the theater..
