farmer can handle alone. or provide Z
tenant house for married help. 1t is
more satisfactory all around, any way,
not to have the hired help in ones
own home.
The idea Of reducing the size of the
farm and practicing intensive farming
is the best of the two methods of
handling the hired help problem.
There are too many of our farmers
trying to farm over too much terri
tory with too little help.
There is a farmer living a few miles
north of Centerville on the Williams
burg pike, who, a few years ago, could
not make ends meet on q hundred and
forty acres, but today he is clearing
an exceptionally good profit on an
eighty. He experienced the same
kind of troubles that his neighbors
on the larger farms are now expert
encing, and he could not half take care
Of his crops, He says that he believes
in Samuel w. Allertcc's doctrine: I'VE
must stop land-robbing and start land.
building-even if it means that We
must farm on a smaller scale. 1t is
better to farm SO as to make ten acres
rich than farm so as to make hun
dred acres poor" And our eighty.
acre farmer has added to that the old
adage, IF you want thing done right
do it yourself"

practical demonstration of the aid
given the police department BY the
use of motorcycles was given last ev-
ening when Patrol Driver Wenger ans
wered a call to West Fifth and Linden
streets on one of the machines. He
was detailed to go to that place by
Night Sergeant Winters, who was mott
fled that several young men were en-
gagged in fight on the street corner.
Upon arriving at the place Wenger
was informed that the party of young
men who were driving had left a short
time before. Wenger made A detour
of that section Of the city but failed
to locate the guilty persons and re-
turned to police headquarters, having
covered about nine miles in twenty
two minutes. He had no lights on the
machine and rode over Richmond
avenue, which is in very bad condi-
ton at the present.
Patrolmen are anxious that the city
council appropriate enough money to
purchase two or three motorcycles.
They assert that better time can be
made on a motorcycle than by any
other method.

Mild Carnage When They Meet Thsis
Natural Prsy. Flying Fish.
One time at st. Clements we sighted
a feeding school Of tuna. an exhiiarat-
ing sight A flying fish weighing .
pound and half:or more would start
from the water and soar an extraor-
binary distance. nearly out Of sight,
but every inch Of that flight l knew
was covered by a big tuna keeping
his place just beneath the "fier" and
ready to seize it the moment it fell
into the water. This rarely failed.
The moment the fish began to drop the
tuna would spring at 1t like a tiger.
turning and tossing the spume into
the air with a splendid and electrify.
ing rush, maneuver that was re-
peated all over the blue channel
The sensational charge meant that a
school Of tunas had discovered a school
OF its natural prey. flying fishes. At
once the lust Tor blood and food was
on, and the carnage was the result.
l have observed some curious scenes
at sea. but never have 1 seen fear so
forcibly expressed as by a school of
flying fishes exhausted and at the
mercy Of the voracious tunas. / have
had them gather about my Doat and
cling to its keel as closely as they
could. while the air was full Of leap
ing tunas and soaring flying fish. At
such times when a school Of sardines
IS rounded up the fishes are so terrified

The majority of the single hired
men today are about as elusive as the
pea of the old time shell game. You
think you have them sure, but before
you hardly have time to eyclaim,
"presto!" they have disappeared.
From all over Wayne county during
the past summer came complaints re-
garding the kind of hired help farm.
ers we're compelled to employ, because
of the very limited supply from which
to select. One farmer northwest OF
town reports that he has had five diff
ferent hired men during the season;
another farmer east of town says that
he has had four; and many others re-
port that they have had three.
Now this is not owing to the fact
that farmers in this locality are hard
task masters, because they are not.
And the farmers here, as general
rule, do not expect a hired hand to
go ahead with the work as well as

when the farmer is most in need of
help, but it makes no difference to
him il it is right in the midst of corn
blowing or hay or grain harvesting.
Often he does not even return for
his little bundle of clothes or the
small balance due him on his pay.
What are the farmers going to do
under such circumstances? Must they

they can do all Of their own work, or
must they do as some have found
necessary-build tenant houses 80 that
married men can be employed? 1t
