females and children by more than
1000.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-"The av-
erage laborer is living today better
than Queen Elizabeth did in her time"
said James Wilson, secretary of agri-
culture, on his return today from a
months vacation on his Iowa farm.
He was discussing the prosperous
farmers OF the west, and the high
wages of the workingman in the east.
"Take the meat bills Of the laborers
in washington today" he continued.
You will find that they eat meat
three times a day, and they want the
best cuts. AS result, the price of
meat is away up. While the farmers
are producing more beef every year,
they are not producing enough to meet
the increase in population. l do not
look for the prices to decrease material
ly soon."
The secretary was asked if the west
ern farmers were really investing large
sums in automobiles.
"There is too much truth in those
reports" he responded. 1.-THE farmer
is out of debt; he has paid for his
farm, his fences and his machinery.
He has money in his pockets, and big
crops continue to come in.
He Is afraid to invest in eastern Sc
curities lest a year might bring trouble
there. AS a result he puts his money
into luxuries instead of channels that
might give a return.
why, folks in the east do not know
what luxuries are. They must go west
to find that out"

HONOLULU, Sept. 17.-Joseph Ward,
premier of New Zealand, arrived here
today on the steamer Makura en- route
to Suva, capital Of the Fill islands,
where he will be met by the British
cruiser Challenge and proceed to Auck-
land.
In an interview, Premier Ward said
that in addition to building Dread
naught of the Indomitable type for the
empire at a cost of $40, ,000, 900 New Zea-
land would be given three $4,000,000
cruises, six topedo boats and six sub
maines.
These, with the Australian fleet and
the ships attached to the China station,
will give Great Britain double the naval
strength in the Pacific ocean over all
other powers, with the exception of the
United States,
The combined oriental powers and
European powers in the Pacific, he
said, would not, however, equal the
combined naval force of Great Britain
and America, which must maintain
peace in the western ocean.
Significant Council
Premier Ward declared the imperial
naval conference which he attended in
London was the most significant war
council of modern history, for it pro-
vided for the peace of the world so far
as possible concerning the occident and
orient.
New ZeaIands fleet, he said, was to
be manned by New Zealanders, with
for New Zealanders to ad-
vance in any branch of the navy
service.
Canada and the African colonies, he
added, undoubtedly would add to the
naval strength Of the British empire.
Premier Ward concluded his inter-
view with the observation that the
at London was rendered
more significant because of the recent
German agitation.
