GENEVA, SWITZERLAND. June I.
Swiss and German writer's are calling

and live mostly in the Austrian Tyfol

German farmers examine The goods
and choose the strongest and healthiest
children to work for them throughout
the summer
The prices are arranged between the
farmers and the parents and a contract
is signed The farmer agrees TO give
food and lodging to the boy or girl ne
engages and IS to $40 after five to six
months work which is for seventeen to
eighteen hours day The farmer does
not usually accept any responsibility
concerning the mora conduct of the
boy or girl who has entered his serv-

and on the same footing as his other
employees.
