"FARES, PLEASE"


Both Young Ladies' Wanted to Paw.
But Kept the Conductor Waiting,
Car-conductors familiar with the

occur In any street-car in any city.
The dramatis personae are two we'll

ductor. The time is the present
Conductor-Fare, please.
First young lady (hastily)-Let me
pay it, dear.
Second young lady Opening chate-
laine and beginning to take out hand
kerchief, small package, gloves and
keys)-Not for worlds, dearest! I have
some change.
First young lady (excavating the
depths of ist-bag)-Nonsense, l have

know.
Second young lady-I'm sure didn't
1t was you, don't you remember? The
reason know Is because we were 60

First young lady-Oh, yes, and /
wore my crepe de chine. But that
wasn't the last time we went out to-
gether. We were going to the matinee,
and I'm sure you paid the fare.
Second young lady (triumphantly
taking out a purse-Well, it doesn't
make any difference I'll just pay it
again.
Conductor (wearily)-Fare, ladies.
First young lady Indignantly, also
producing purse)-It does make a diff
ference too! Do you think am going
out and have you pay my fare every
where we go? Here, l have it.
Second young lady-Don't be so
silly. Here, have it.
First young lady-My dear, insist.
Second young lady-Agnes, 1 shall be
downright offended with you in a mo-
ment. 1 shall pay the fare.

but l don't want to stand here all
day.
First young lady with dignity)-You
are a rude person and shall report
you. My uncle is one Of the principal

behavior to him. Here, take this
money. I'm sure you only had to walt

for rent is not large enough: and it
makes a great difference In items such
as food and clothing whether the fam
lily consists Of man and his wife, or
whether there are several children. Be
that as it may, the schedule compares
interestingly with the results OF an
inquiry recently made by the National
Bureau of Labor. The inquiry took In
about $500 families In all parts of the
country, averaging more than Ave per
sons to the family, and an income of
1927 year, These families spent
more proportionately for food and
clothing, and less proportionately for
rent and fuel, than the Chicago esti-
mate allowed. Proportionately they
saved more money, too. AS between
city families that have to do with $12
a week and families that have $40, one
might fix limit below which, the less
money earned, the more proportion
ately would have to be spent. A larger
income gives ability to take advantages
Of bargains and make occasional pur-
chases at wholesale. The smaller In
come does not greatly lessen social OBJ
legations, and on the other hand it af-
fords fewer financial opportunities. To
be sure the Chicago economists hope
fully hold that even on $12 q week a
family can save money. The thing is
done, but it should be noted that 1t Is
more easily done In q small town than
in Chicago OF any other large city.

The scarcity of farm hands in Kan
sas is a difficulty which confronts the
farmers Of every State In the Union
and which is becoming more acute ev-
cry year. Men will not work on the
farm for, say, $50 month and board
IL they can get from $3.50 to SITS
day in the city factory or ON public
improvements or In any other capacity.
1t is vain for the farmer to urge that
the man on the farm, with the appar-
emit lower wage, is really making more
money If he but takes into consldera-
ton that on the farm he pays no
board. It is not the wage so much
that affiicts the workers as the chores
on the farm. His work Is never done;
he is in the same plight as the do
nestle servant; he has no time to him
