Wages of Farm Hands.

II is a gratifying fact that the pres
emit census shows a notable increase
In the wages paid to farm hands.
The average wages in 1910 was
s27.5O per month, while 20 years ago
Il was only SIS.
This Is a distinct step forward. The
Increase is due TO many causes, of
which a very prominent one has been
that the prospect Of increased pay in
pther occupations with the added at
fractions OF city life have kept many
competent men from staying on the
farms and the result has been a
dearth of good farm hands.
In this section of the country the
average pay for farm hands is $31.S1
for the states OF the central west Wis
consin leads with 1925. With board
the average WAS 1924.
These figures represent the average
and not the extreme of compensation
for farm labor. While the farmers
Institutes and other agricultural asso-
Citations have been busy many years

keep good farm hands has been dis
cussed and handled in a very desul-
tory fashion except by a few intelI.-
gent and progressive farmers who
have seen the economical advantage
Of keeping good help and paying It
accordingly.
In order to do this they have looked
after the physical comfort and social
environment Of their men IN such
way that the latter have been content
10 stay on the farm because It was a
good place a. stay. and that Is the
best reason In the world.

The libel law introduced in the nIi-
nofs legislature by Senator Bailey
from Cannop's home town, has been
reported adversely. There is still an
other. and the Peoria Star thus refers
TO It:
Lee O'Neil Browne has introduced
into the house a new libel bill He
says that II has been prepared with a
great deal OF care and in a spirit of
fairness. and In a spirit of earnest
ness, sincerity and honesty. This
from Browne is pretty good. Then
he adds that II embodies all the pro-
visions OF the present English statutes
on libel as they stand on the statute
books OF England. II is fully compre-
hensive and IL covers every possible
phase OF this subject. So much for
Mr.. Browne. 1t is well known that
the English law OF libel is most op-
presstve, for it is technical and pre-
vents pleading the truth Of the arti-
Gle. 1t was framed when a corrupt
parliament had most to dread from a
free press. Besides, IT is extremely
expensive.
When the London Times defended
itsth against Charles Stewart Parnen
Tor publishing the Pigott letters, it
cost the paper $4,000. 900 in expense.
such case in America would have
been quickly decided and the cost at
the outside would not have been over
5000 possibly. The expense fairly
broke the Times and ruined the Wal

How to Become Great in a Day.
Champ Clark remarked, several
years ago, that he owed the major por-
ton CT his fame to the press. and that
the newspapers could make a man
great, or at least notorious. in a single
day. If this be correct then greatness
lies al the very doors Of any man who
cares to achieve it. Are you unknown
to the people even Of your own city?
You can become known throughout
the entire state in a single day.
It mades no difference how insight
cant you may be. you can achieve fame
by simply doing this, suggests the
Springfield Record:
Make a statement roundly condemn
ing Senator'S Lorimer and Cullom and
send II % the Chicago Tribune
That newspaper will publish 1t in
prominent place and with faring head
lines announcing that Another Fa-
nous Man Condemns Lorimer"
No cheaper method OF advertising
