A cry for farm laborers is going
up in all parts of the country.
New York state wants $4,000 of
them; Kansas wants 100000.
Nebraska as many, and so
on. There is probably not
a section of the country at present
IN which the supply of farm labor
is as great as the demand. 1t
seems that the shortage ought to
be relieved by the great influx of
immigrants that are coming in
from Europe, but it hasn't been
and isn't likely to be. While the
country districts are calling for
help, the immigrants are stopping
in the cities or going to the mines
or the great industrial plants.

In the penitentiary at Joliet,
ILL.,, there is q prisoner who was
twenty-three years ago sentenced
to be hanged. 1t seems the order
of the court was forgotten, and
during the long years the man
lived each day fearing that the
next would be his last. 1t is
claimed that the states right to
execute the sentence has now long
since lapsed, and habeas corpus
proceedings have been begun to
secure the prisoners release. This
is PROBABLY the first time in the
history of the country that a con-
demned murderer was forgotten
in Jail.

The Associated Press dispatches
said among other things that the
Italians of the French Market
quarter had fled IN all directions,
and that this is source of the
greatest danger of the spread of
the yellow plague. To be sure it
Is. The majority of those Italians
have been exposed to the conta-
gion and the fever is likely to
develop wherever they stop. One
Of them, for example, has turned
up at Tampa with the fever and
another is sick at point in
Northern Louisiana. In a weeks
time we will hear more of this
Italian hegira from New Orleans
That has been the case heretofore
and the chances are that history
Will repeat itself.

corning the automobile industry

of capital, produced 2G,6O1 ma
chimes, valued at $34, $50, 500, dur
ing the year ending June 30, 1905,
a large increase over last year,
and comparing with q total output
in the census year 1890 of all
motor vehicles of less than $5,-

automobile casualty list, too, more
than keeps pace with this decided
increase in the manufacturing in

course. does not exist for the pur-
pose OF compiling casualty lists.
