The Lamar Commercial Club has
made arrangements for Il special

tion donated to the club one OF

The following committees have
been appointed and will be there
ut all times to issue advertising
matter and give information on La
mar and Prowers county: s. I. Bor
ton, Theo. Blakemore and e. q.

and Prowers county has had a
great many settlers from Kansas
and insomueh as the Kansas state
fair is the largest fair held in the
United States. drawing people from
several states. it tending to be
bigger and better than ever before

boxes in the grand stand. all the
people from Lamar and Prowers
county being invited to make use

British and American Wages CN9-
pared

The question of wages Is always
an interesting one and much more
SO when 1t Is studied comparative
ly. The difference between the
wages of American and British
workingmen. as we'll as the purchas
ing power of the same in the United
States and England. are often pro
life topics OF discussion.
The recent report of @. X. Ask
with, assistant secretary Of the
board OF trade which is a depart
ment of the British government.
made a visit to the United States
to study labor conditions. and com
pare them to those existing In
England and Wales. HIS report to
his home government. recently made
public. is certainly fair and Impair
uai. Mr.. Askwith's final conclus-
ion is that the American working
man has the best OF It in both the
wage and the living problems. The
British workman. he says. has the
duNduihkt over iHt bfthidhs Fithth
and the German artizan. but not
over the American.
To prove his assertions. the
statistician gives figures: first as
to the prevalent range of weekly
wages In both countries.
Meat. flour. milk. cheese and
many other commodities are higher
in England than in this country.
The present condition of British la
Dor is we'll illustrated by mo
tion that was defeated in the house
of commons and was Intended TO
enforce compulsory minimum of
weekly wages amounting to $3.50.
The mover was a labor member.
VIII Crooks. of Woolwich. who. In
the course of an address on the
subject. said that 60 per cent of
the adult workers In England. re-
ceived less than that sum. One
hundred American laboring men
own their own homes as against ten
in England.
Taken all In all this is a pretty
good country to live in.-National
