outgrown the supply. The root grew
wild in the north, but its high value
has caused il to be dug up before pro-
perly developed, which takes some 4 or
6 years. The plant must now be cult
waited artificially, and the importance Of
my farm lies in the mere fact that it is

Men Being Imported to Take the Place

OF late London has despaired Of sow
Ing the servant girl problem" and has
set about importing men to take the

are bringing them across the channel

rapidly disappearing. from the London

They call these male servants gen

ranging from $50 to $500 year They
are civil, clean and neat, and are ac-
customed to long hours.
This fresh field of labor especially
appeals to the young man of continen-
tai Europe. as it gives him a chance to
escape from army conscripti0n. So far
these men have proved themselves es-
pecially adapted for domestic work.
The experience of the different nation
allties is interesting. Germans have
been found the best. They generally
speak two languages. sometimes three.
and make exceilenthouseserv Ger
many and France supply most of the
demand Italians and Swiss come next
in numbers and qualities. but for good,
rough, all-around work the people who
take the lead are the Egyptians. For
these people there is a growing de-
mand, and the descendants of the
Pharaohs are wrestling the pots and
pans in many an English kitchen to the
mutual satisfaction of employer and
employed.
Although the wages of a male "gen-
eral' in London run from $50 to $500
year, the average pay is $40 a year for
one who is not a cook and $12O a year
for one who is.
