Why does the skilled mechanic get
I'VE dollars per day for his services
and the ommon Iaborer one dollar?
Why does n farmer clear $50 or 500
per acre, while many others barely
come out even at the end Of the
year? The answers are easy. One
is learned in his art, while the other
labors as his ancestors have for gen
erations; one studies his soil, his
