borers to Work ON Farms
Beats City Price.
EXPECT TO GET UP CROP

American farmers have gone back
TO doing their own work. They com
blne the function Of directing their
hands with actual labor themselves.
But they are not doing their own
work from hard times-except In Sc
curing labor. The American farmer,
his son. and wife, from the scarcity
of labor. have to get out into the
field. II they would save the bumper
crops which nature has produced this
fall.
Not only in the great grain fields
OF the west is this scarcity of labor
causing the boss" to work as well
as the laborer. In McCracken county
a dollar and a half a day and board
will not secure labor on some of the
farms. In the city. day laborers get a
dollar and a quarter day and have
to provide board for thmselves.
This scarcity of labor vastly has
stimulated the sale of labor-savlng
farm machinery. 1t Is so in raking
hay. in harvesting corn and wheat.
Somehow, though, when the fall
has past. II usually has been the case
that the crops have been harvested
in full. and despite the unfulflled
demand for labor now. the crops OF
this fall doubtless will be harvested.

Money Market a Danger signal.

Spectators on the stock exchange
who have been recklessly buying and
bidding up stocks seem TO have a
child-like confidence that money from
some quarter will be forthcoming to
finance their operations even while an
enormous crop movement is in pro-
gress. This view may possibly be
correct, but 1t never has been In the
past and the sources from which
money can be obtained are no diff
ferent or more plethoric than In years
gone by. In all probability this coun-
try will get many millions OF dollars
from Europe within the next six OF
seven months. Indeed, Il will have to
