Is being laid at the door Of the ex-
listing famine in hired hands"
In half the corn fields near here
last fall there were women helping
the men to gather the crop They
were women, for the most part, not
accustomed to such labor, but they
saw the necessity of getting the har-
vest completed before the snow fell
And if they did not help, no one
would.
Last summer many women living
on farms near here left their duties
in the household to drive d team and
help the husband put the crop in.
Many of these women were college
graduates.
A few years ago farm laborers re-
ceived from SIS to $18 a month with
the occasional loan Of a horse on
which to ride to town. Today hands"
are hard to find at $50 month with
every Saturday off and a ride to town
in the family motor car.
This condition is not peculiar to
Missouri alone. It sounds ridiculous.

HAD ROUGH VOYAGE
Sailors Had in Mind Tale of "The
Ancient Mariner"
6aneful Spell That Fell Upon Sailing
Ship Rhine Was Attributed to
Killing of AIbatross That
Had Taken Refuge.

New York.-Coleridge tale of "The
Ancient Mariner" may now be re-
peated as the record in many re-
spects of the strange voyage of the
Rhine, a British sailing ship, which
has reached this port from Trinidad,
laden with asphalt. For forty days
and forty nights the vessel struggled
against adverse winds, or, like the
craft in Coleridge's poem, hung in a
CLASSY sea, 'as idle as a painted ship
upon painted ocean"
Followed for time, as men of the
crew believe, by as mysterious an in
fiuence as that which held the ship
of 1.-THE Ancient Mariner" in thrall,
the Rhine fought it's way through to
the end Of a trip that ordinarily
would have occupied fourteen instead
Of forty days.
To the killing of an albatross was
attributed the baneful spell that fell
upon the ship Of "The Ancient Ma
riner." The question for supersti-
tious minds is whether the spell that
bound the Rhine for a time was
brought about by West Indian sailor
who killed sea bird which had Ia
ken refuge on board the ships deck.
Before the Rhine, which is a full
rugged ship of 1880 tons, was day
out of Port au Spain, Trinidad, it
found itself in calm. Day after day,
nf
to bring hope of more favorable
weather, the Rhine crawled along be-
meath burning sun.
The ship was a week and a half on
it's way when a strange thing hap
pened, Captain Bergman and his first
mate, Harry Wolth, were on the quar-
ter deck, and the sailors were idling
about the deck forward when a huge
dog, gaunt with hunger, appeared on
deck. Captain Bergman and his mate
are not superstitious, SO they had the
animal cared for by the steward and
then let him roam the deck at will.
1t was not until the Rhine was we'll
up the Atlantic coast that it ran into
utdfy WtdLutl. Ou OuIludy UlSuL, mo
vember 10, hurricane rose The first
mate was caught in heavy sea and
was thrown to the deck, where he lay
stunned. No one saw him fall-no
one but Bob, the stowaay dog. He ran
bowling to the skipper, and by his
actions led him to send the third Off
Ger to see what was the matter.
Wolth was found and carried to his
cabin, where it was found that he
had dislocated his left knee and in
jured the leg generally. Wolth in
sisted on remaining on duty.
The Rhine was forty miles east by
northeast of Cape Henry when it en-
countered the storm. 1t took the ship
two weeks to fight its way to this
port, distance of only few hun
dred miles.
Captain Bergman in 1905 received
81 900 and a gold watch from insur-
ance companies for bringing the Har-

ward into the Delaware breakwater
under jury masts after all his spars
had been carried away except the
foretopmost.
Mrs. Bergman, the shippers wife,
also has won recognition for heroism
at sea. She has an official letter Of
thanks from congress for aiding in
the saving Of life. She lives aboard
the Rhine. The Rhine is a steel ship,
257 feet long and thirtyeight feet
beam.

THE NEW SENATOR FROM OHIO

The election of United States sen.
ator from Ohio, to succeed Senator
Dick, precipitated a lively contest,
which ended only with the selection
of Atlee Pomerene Of Canton, Mckin-
ley's old town. 1t is said to have been
one of the hottest senatorial cam
paigns in the history of the state.
Mr.. Pomerene is a lawyer and is
forty-seven years old. He Is a native
of the state, graduate of Princeton
and has been practicing attorney
since 1886. He has held the office Of
city solicitor and prosecuting attorney
and was the most formidable rival Of
Harmon for the nomination for COVER
nor. He was forced to accept second
place, however, and was elected lieu
tenant governor.
Mr.. Pomerene is married and his
wife is one of Ohio's popular and cul-
tured women, who will no doubt be-
warmly welcomed to senatorial circles
at Washington.

1t is disingenuous to place the
blame for the defeat of the popu-
lar election of United States SEN
ators upon the Democratic sena-
ators of southern states who we're
forced to vote against the move
ment by reason of the Southla nd
amendment. That amendment
was put upon the bill, by Repub-
licans, for the express purpose of
insuring its defeat, aud accom-.
plished that purpose. While "a
Republican senators voted against
the measure only nine Democratic
senators were in opposition. All
these were southern men, whose
opposition was not to the principle
of direct election Of senator's, but
to the scheme of federal interior
ence with southern elections con.
templated by the Southland
amendment.

SATURDAY, MARCH II, 1911.

The Sixty-frst Congress which
expired by limitation OF law on
Saturday, March 4, "did a num-
Der of things it should have done,
left undone many things it should
have done and performed some
things it should not have done, "
but there is considerable health
left in US notwithstanding its
deeds ofcommission and omission.
Not in twenty years have we had
more turbulent or stormy Con.
gress than the one which died on
Saturday. The Sixty-frst Con-
gress will be notable for the pass
age Of tariff bill which was large
ly responsible for the undoing, OF
the Republicans at the November
elections of 1910. 1t was also not
able tor shearing the power of the
Speaker and amending the rules
to an extent never before dreamed
of and the enlargement OF the
Committee on Rules with the
Speaker wholly eliminated from
participation in its deliberations.
The Congress just terminated will
90 down into history as one which
developed more largely individual
groups among it's members, with
the progressives in the ascendency,
than any of its immediate pre-
decessors and it will .be regarded
in many quarters as one of the
most advanced Congresses in
quarter of century. The incom-
ing Congress promises to be quite
as turbulent as the one which pass
ed out of existence on the fourth
of March. 1t will be made up of
even more distinctive groups of
Legislators than characterized the
Sixty-frst Congress, for the House
will have within its number a
Socialist, Mr.. Berger, Of Milwau-
kee, and a larger number Of Pro-
gressives than were in the last
Congress.
