THE LABOJ;ER AND HIS HIRE
(Ry Walt Masonl


The life of the prosperous west
ern farmer might be one round of
pleasure but for the ever-present
problem of securing competent and
faithful help-a problem that grows
more difficult each year. The in
dustrious, intelligent 'hired man
is more precious than rubies and
about as scarce The farmers sons
go to business college and become
stenographers and wear boiled lin
en-; the farm work must be done.
and the task of finding somebody
to do it is bringing the husband
mans gray hairs in sorrow to the
grave.
| was a farm laborer for several
years and worked for various en-
ployers; my wages ranging from
S12 to SIS month with board and
washing. A hungry school teacher
boarded at one of the places where
l worked. and paid 50 week for
meals and lodging, and she ate at
least as much as / did. The item
of washing didn't amount to much.
as l had only two shirts and went
bare footed So the entire remun-
Grafton for my arduous toll amount
ed to about S25 month, and for
this l worked from fifteen to eigh-
teen hours a day This was in the
grand old times when corn sold for
rs cents bushel and hogs for SO
hundredweight. Nowadays the
western farmer gets so cents a
bushel for his corn and Sc or more
for his hogs, and everything he sells
has increased in value accordingly.
He gets almost as much for a roll
of butter as he used to get for a
COW, and everybody knows eggs are
so valuable the grocer keeps them
in his safe.
The wages of the hired man
should have increased correspond
ingly. but they haven't. The able
bodied yoeman gets more than l
used to get when my furrow broke
the glebe, but he isn't paid more
than half what he should receive.
For farm work, even in these days
when every implement has spring
seat on it is exhausting and heart
breaking. and gives man no time
for recreation or reading or diver
sions of any kind. The hired man
must have all his fun in the winter
when it's too cold for fun. From
the day when the spring work opens
until the last load of corn has been
shucked. he is chained to his oar
as closely as the gentlemen OF the
ancient Roman galleys. Every
young man who can do it quits the
farm work at the earlist opportun-
ity. and the opportunity comes fire.
gently in these days of mail-order
when a man can fit
himself for job as President of
the United States by sending $4.67
to certain philanthropical educators
in the east. Every time the hired
man picks up . magazine he be-
holds advertisements which de-
nounce him bitterly for sticking to

TO prevent any one else from get

County Physician Whitaker is
still OF the opinion that the cistern
water is accountable for the sick
ness OF the three children. He is
not prepared to give out anything
turther at present. Some of the
patrons Of the school think that
Paris green or another poisonous
powder might have been accident
ally dropped into the cistern. The
cistern is covered over but boards
are loose and the powder might
have sitted in between them. Any
way the matter will be thoroughly
investigated.

Husum, Wash.--Traveling on snow
shoes and while tracking cougar
along the west bank OF the White Sal

cidept that came near proving dlsas-

Frank Knowles, and when near a
deep. perpendicular canyon, slipped
and plunged to the bottom.
There was no way to escape from
his predicament, but he called loudly
for help. For two hours he was bur
led in snow and kept up a constant
yell, and his companion appeared
and with the aid Of rope and long
pole pulled him to the surface.
Knowles says he never heard
sound, but was following the tracks
OF Campbell when he suddenly disap-
peared.

IMMIGRATION SLUMP PUZZLES
Records Show Big Failing Of In Ar.
rivals Last Year While Outgoing
Ships Were Loaded.

One OF the greatest slumps In i'm.
migration ever recorded at the port OF
New York was written into the rec
ords at Ellis Island during the closing
days of last year The records show
that nearly 100000 fewer immi grants
landed there last year than for the
corresponding period in 1910, and
Commissioner Williams declares that
there was reduction OF 30 per cent
or more from 1910 figures for the
year. The incoming tide of humanity
is lower now than at any time since
1908.
With the tide at its ebb, every snip
leaving for Europe is crowded as never
before. One vessel sailing the other
day left 500 steerage passengers on
the wharf because of inability to find
accommodation aboard for them. DIR
ing the first ten days OF December,
1910, 1906 third-class passengers
sailed for Europe; last year the num-
Der was 25.245. Outbound vessels car
ried nearly so per cent more third
class passengers last year than be-
fore.
The decrease may mean one OF
several things" said M- Williams. n
may mean that industrial conditions
here are much disturbed 1t may mean
that third-class passengers are more
prosperous and are going to and fro
more than usual. or that the long.
looked-for ebb in the tide has come.
Personally. don't know what 1t
means"

DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE FALL

We are of the opinion that if you are expecting to attend our school you cannot give reason able excuse for postpOning enter ing until Fall. We can present sufficient proof to convince you that the earlier you start in to obtain a practical education, the better it will be for you. We have now almost as large an at tendance in the Summer as in the Winter. We offer every in ducement in Summer that we offer in the Winter. Our pas records show that students at tending school in June, July and August make a good progress as those attending any other three months in the year. This is due to the fact that our school rooms are cool and pleas ant, and that our teachers put forth the same energy in the Summer months as in the Win ter. He who enters now will ti- nished in time for good posi- tion during the busy Fall season.
 If you have what you think would be a reasonable excuse for not attending school before Fall, let us have it, and we will give you our side of the question. If we can show you that you can start into 1913 with more money, and a practical education besides than you could to continue as you are until Fall and then attend school, will we not have done you a favor? It has been our life work solving just such pro blemS as yours, and qualifying young men and women to earn three dollars where they could not have earned one.
 Write us by return mail; tell us contidentially what is hinder ing you from entering before Fall.
