NEW YORK'S CHILD LABOR.
Marked Improvement I'm the Sinn-
ton Under the ~eSv Law.

Decrease III the uuIn;9rr of children
given permission to work. an clinitna-
ton Of the perjury by parents res )rt
ed under the old law 10 get children
into factories and stores. the ostab-
lishment of systematic cooperation
between the authorities which enforce
the law and those that esti@atc-
these are some Of the improvements
noted in report recently issued by
the child labor committee Of New
York.
The new law has been in operation
since oct. l. In the months of Octo-
Der. November and Neccmbcr certifi-
Gates were issued to 2922 children in
New York city, or 81 per cent of all
who applied. whereas during the same
months Of the preceding year certiti-
Gates We're issued to 4,353 children or
so per cent Of #ll who applied The
Stricter requirements which have caus.
ed this change are as follows A mini
mum age, minimum amount Of
schooling and proof that the child has
been observing the school law.
For eighteen years the minimum age
In New York state has been fourteen
years, but not until the present time
has any real evidence Of age been re-
quircl. There is good reason to be-
lieNe that unter the old law more than
half of the atiid;ivitS filed by parents
regarding their ehildrcn,S ages were
false. Under tie new law the parent S
word is not recognized as proving age
For every certificate issued there is
filed some "iiiei:tl or religious paper as
evidence Of age.
III requiring Il minimum amount Of
schooling in addition to Il minimum
age New York is in advance of all
other states il the Union. The pro.
vision is practically that fourteen
yeal=old children who wish to work
must have reached ut least the grade
of the average twelve YnHr-Old child.
The enforcement of these conditions
has revealed the fact that more than
1000 folirtaon-year-ol children in the
public schools alone We're in or below
the twelve-yeHr-old grade.

Preg re.s:A KuSaiu.

Russian f;te,tfy laws We're revised in
lS>G when tho working hours for wo-
men and children We're limited. Now
all wages have to be paid III cash, and
there are no such things as store orders
and factory stores. An employer can
not dismiss his workmen contrary to
his contract with them. and he can IN
tlict fines only according to the rules or
the labor department.. All large tacto-
ries outside the towns have TO provide
free hospitals, baths, schools and libra
ries for their people, and any employer
who mistreats his men can be fined.
On the other hand. the men can be pun
ished for striking without cause. If an
employer abuses his employees the gov
ernment may close his factory and put
him in Jail.

OATS AND CORN.

Prof. W. H. Olin, Of the department
of agronomy at the Iowa State col
lege, has just completed some very In
teresting investigations in regard to
the loss to the oat crop in Iowa last
year from smut. He sent out bulle-
tins last June to farmers all over the
state to find out what amount Of the
cat seed sowed had previously been
treated with formalin or some other
preparation to destroy the smut.
A thousand bulletins were sent out
and from these $50 answers were re-
ceived. OF these only 63 farmers had
treated their oat seed. OF the other
Asst reports, from to SO per cent or
the oats were smutted. General in
vestigations conducted showed that
last year smut in oats caused loss
to Iowa farmers of from one and a
quarter to one and half millions.
The experiment station at Ames
conducted experiments to determine
the best tratmnt for smut. Their in
vestigations showed that the best
treatment for the oat disease Is a
preparation of formalin of pound to
about forty gallons of water, with a
treatment of the oats of gallon to a
gallon and a quarter of the mixture
to bushel Of oats.
The department is now engaged in
sending out bulletins to farmers all
over the state in regard to the germi
nation of seed corn. The department
is trying to arrange that the farmers
of Iowa shall have seed corn that will
terminate to prevent loss such al
occurred in the cats crop Of las
spring. After the poor quality o.
corn during the past two years {
large amount of the corn is not fit fol
seed, and it is to prevent the needless
use of such seed.

CIRCULATION VS.. INVESTMENT.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Many peo-
pie think that because money is
boarded up in bank, it is lying idle,
never doing any good, and rusting
away at great loss to the commun-
ity at large. The fact is, that the
mere extravagant spending of money
which is often excused under the
sweeping statement that it is at least
putting the coin into circulation, is a
misconcepion. Banks do not lock the
money in their vaults, place a man
with a sawed off shot gun loaded to
the muzzle with slugs to keep off
those who would use sums invested,
and wait until the depositor calls for
his capital or dies. The banks take
the money and start it out on bust
ness career, a career of usefulness,
which Is far better often than that
which would be pursued by the same
sum II 1t were used in mere extrava,
gances. The champagne dinner, the
! costly yacht, the expensive frivolities
of so-called society-these are not a
better way of using ones money than
| "hoarding it up in bank"
The latter place is at least a good
reserve for the money. On tho mega
tive side it is being kept for rainy
day" when the struggle gets beyond

munity as whole and not The one

ishly expended on costly dinners and
the like, might much better be taken
from its owners hands by a bank
which would place it on the fr;no
line of the world Of commerce,
