are under trained foremen and their
wages are graduated according TO the
amount of product they can turn out
Manufacturers and transportation cor
porations are capitalized and the in
vestment Is required to earn a fixed
dividend for the stockholders. The
earnings are expected to exceed the
dividends, operating expenses and fixed
charges to create surplus fund to
conduct affairs in emergencies and dur

The farmer is compelled to compete
IN the open market for help to conduct
his agricultural operations. While the
farmer Is delighted if his investment

Quoted at a loss. The manufacturer in
times of financial stringency to protect
stockholders discharges a part Of his
force, reduces their wages or runs his
plant on shorter hours. The farmer
can only protect himself from exorbi-
tant wages by the purchase of costly
labor saving machinery
The world moves forward and the
higher cost of living. the increase in
value Of farm lands and the higher
pri:es OF agricultural products will not
soon revert to old low standards. The
farmer will not find cheap labor Of
fered In the market except by ineffi-
Client employees.
Agriculture Is annually becoming
more Of business proposition and the
standard Of labor advanced on the
farm. The farm laborer must under
stand modern agricultural machinery
and how to operate 1t to obtain employ
2ent. Machinery is too expensive to
be trusted with inexperienced opera
tors, and the man who can skillfully
handle modern farm implements Is in
demand on the farm at a wage scale
that will compare favorably with the
employees in industrial enterprises.
Farmers are now practical business
men and the majority of them keep
books on farm operations and know the
amount of their profit and loss annual
ly. Farming as profession is becom-
Ing more attractive and diversified and
labor needs to be more skilled to meet
new conditions of agriculture. The in
ducements are potential for young men
t. qualify as farm laborers and the
field offers as brilliant prospects as
any other profession. The farmer Is
not so much in quest Of cheap labor as
efficient help and Is willing to pay a
wage scale proportionate to the ability
and proficiency of the laborer as an up
to-date farm hand.-Goodall's Farmer

Il have found that l required less sleep.
When was younger I used TO sleep eight
hours, and frequently when was very
tired 1 could use nine; but there came a
time a few years ago when discovered
that seven hours sleep was ordinarily all
that I required.
Now, l mentioned this fact. casually.
one day, to a friend OF mine. and he said
that this was one Of the benefits that came
TO men as they increased in years; that re-
quirinE less sleep they had more time for
labor and 30 could accomplish more. and
that this was one reason why men OF ma
turer years were counted as Of greater
value.
"A pleasant fancy. that. ] thought.
"Another friend Of mine said more plainly
that my requiring less sleep was a sign of
my advancing age; that very young people,
young children. required a great deal Of
sleep; that as people grew older they re-
Quired less. until in middle life they nee led,
say, eight hours Of sleep; but that as men
came to be past middle age they required
less sleep. and my needing less simply
showed that was getting old.
Not quite 80 pleasant that, but here is a
new complication:
Il find within the last few months that

people who loved her dearly as a
school companion and friend.

days and died at 1880 Sunday
morning. She was twelve years
old.
The funeral services which were

The remains were accompanied by
an escort from the 0. r. G. and

She is survived by her mother,
two brothers, Ballard and Jules,
