DEMAND FOR FARM LABOR.

The greatest problem the farmer OF
today has to meet is the difficulty OF
obtaining and retaining in service
farm iaborers. The trolley lines and
the steam lines of the country bring
the farm closer to the towns and the
cities, but they also bring the attrac-
tons OF the city and the higher wages
of the city workingmen closer TO the
farm laborers, and in the great major
ity OF instances, finally detach them
from cultivation OF the soil. The call
of the wild" is not answered by one
tenth of the number of city residents
which the call Of the city brings as re-
cruits from the farms, and the result
can be seen all over the world in the
great increase of urban population. In
the south the farmers have the advan-
tage OF a greater supply Of farm Ia
borers than those of the north, but
even their field hands are becoming
less numerous through their departure
to the haunts of the cities in all Sec
tons OF the union, says Cincinnati En-
quirer. The advances that have al
ready taken place in the wages of farm
laborers do not stop this exodus, and
there are to-day very few native white
Americans who can be properly
classed as agricultural laborers.

Mccormick Escapes

Saving a bar and descending from
a four-story window by means of a
rope made of sheets and towels,
Robert Mccormick, the Detroit boy
sent up for life from Ypsilanti. for the
murder of Henry G. Miner. Jan. Z,
and Monroe Auckerman. lifer from
Kalamazoo, escaped from Jackson
prison at 230 Monday morning.
The escape was discovered when
the guard made his hourly rounds at
$3.50, just an hour after the convicts
got away. An open window and a
bar wrenched away and hanging limp
from it's socket told the story. The
alarm was given at once and the
systematic dragnet of the prison au-
thorities was put into operation with
out delay.
The convicts made their escape
from window of the prison hospital
on the fourth floor. just over the as
sembly hall. Mccormick was in the
hospital recovering from wounds he
received in his battle with the man
he slew in the Ypsilanti waiting room
just two months ago, and Aucker
man, who was a cook in the prison
has been a patient for three weeks.
A bar was sawed from the window
and the men m2delp 4ope of bed

II multiplication of industries may
be considered an indication of re-
vived and continued prosperity, surely
the United States is supplying ample
testimony of that character. There
seems to be especial activity In tex
tiles. The Official statistics show that
within six months 1876 textile mills
have been built, and since January l.,
1906 more than 1900 of these works
have been constructed. A notable
feature is the development in the
south, and that section. especially the
Carolinas, where water power abounds,
Is in the lead. This is an excellent
and satisfactory showing. 1t is proof
that the south, which has the cotton
and many of the other materials for
manufacture. is learning the economic
value of concentration Of effort. When
the south works up large proportion
OF the cotton raised there instead of
sending the great bulk elsewhere to be
transformed into finished fabrics it
will have made still greater economic
gain.

Machinists Go From Food City.

An exodus of 100 union machinists
is one Of the results of the campaign
recently begun by the union organ
izers in their efforts to make Battle
Greek feel the power of organized
labor.
These men have, through the eff
forts of Organizer Clarence Dowd, of
Detroit, secured positions throughout
the state at higher wages. They are
leaving in small groups to take up
their work. Most of the men are mar
ried and have families.
Dowd made the statement some
time ago that the union macninists
would get higher wages without re-
sorting to a strike, and this is his
method His idea is to create scare
ity of machinists in Battle Creek and
thereby secure a raise in wages.
