The Cost OF Living.

Father Ryan In his well known book,
The Living Wage" asserts that the
American family cannot properly SUBJ
sist on less than $3.50 a year. The
English figures, as can be seen, are
much lower, being $277.16 a year.
| have gone to the trouble of quot
ing authorities, which is good thing
in these days when the ipse dixit of
every Tom, Dick and Harry is taken
up and treated as an authoritative
statement. | am In position at the
same time to know something of the
anxiety with which the industrial stu
alton is viewed at the present time
in England. Canada just now is
spending millions of dollars to bring
out to the country and settle in new
surroundings the unemployed of the
motherland. Benevolent and chari-
table societies are aiding in the work
but there are many difficulties. 'Tak-
ing man from the London slums and
changing him into a Canadian farmer
is something of problem and many
amusing stories are told in Canada
of the results flowing from the at
tempt.
What / have written is sufficient to
show that the status of the laboring
man in England is anything but salts
factory. Long hours and low wages
are everywhere the rule. The old
age pensions have relieved an i'm
mense amount of distress. The 2
shillings week received from the
government spells the difference, be-
tween penury and comparative com
fort. Lloyd Georges new Insurance
Act will help a whole lot, but there is
opposition to paying the 2 pence a
week which comes from the working
mans wages.
England at the present hour is a
free trade country and the manufac-
tured goods of all the nations are
dumped upon her shores. The, Tory
Party is now advocating a protective
tariff and it is merely a matter Of
time until the nation in self-defense
will be forced to protect it's own labor
and to build up it's own industries, by
imposing duties high enough to pro-
tect homemade products from the
ruinous competition of goods manu-
featured in foreign countries.

DR.. Shelton from Batane, Tibet,
spoke at the Christian church Sun
day morning. Tha: half the world
does not know how the other half
lives is true and worse than that
some. do not care to know.
Those who were absent Sunday
morning missed hearing a-great
missionary message. Tibet, which
has 100000 people. has but two
mission stations to give it the Cos
pei. One is supported by the China
Ireland Mission and the other by
our Foreign Board. DR.. Shelton is
supported by Mr.. and Mrs. Ogden
and DR.. Hardy, the latter being d
graduate of Christian University
Canton, Mo. They are 700 miles
from any other mission station and
46O miles from post Office. DR.
and Mrs. Shelton were timed to
leave for Batang several weeks ago
but the Revolution now going on in
China makes it impossible for them
to 90 yet. The prayers of all who
truly love our Lord Jesus Christ
are asked on behalf of these heroic
souls.

Making the Oat Crop Profitable.


soGri has been gradually decreasing
for a number of years until by
many farmers the crop is no longer
considered profitable. Previous
high yields, fifty bushels or more,
are very seldom realized and when
secured are considered rather phe-
nominal. Nevertheless, there must
be some reason for such yields and
the explanation usually comes un-
der or are more of four heads;
first, better preparation of the seed
bed; second, earlier seeding, third,
heavier seed fourth, particularly
favorable weather conditions.
The oat crop is naturally adapted
to cool, moist conditions, and, there
fore, the greater amount or growth
that can lie secured during such
weather, the greater will be the
yield. This has been concluSively
demonstrated and it has been
definitely shown in many instances
that early seeding, as early as the
ground can be properly prepared
for drilling in the oats, is best.
Some seasons oats "mudded In" will
do exceptionally well, but, in gener-
al, the seeding should be done as
early as it is possible to get a good
seed bed and the seeding should be
done with a disc drill.
Another source of failure is the
, use Of light or run out" seed. The
} best method to practice in order to
} avoid this is to secure northern
grown seed at least once every two
years, and in the meantime, use
c the fan and grade seed very thor
r oughly. No oats should be used
for seed, unless they weigh at least
c thirty-one pounds per measured
c bushel, preferably thirty-three oil
p thirty-four. AS general rule, bet
q ter success will be secured by pre-
q curing a good. early Northern oat
e every two years. or by using the
e Texas Red Rust Proof, the only
G Southern oat that seems to give
C continued success. The early North

accordingly.

sociation has this end of the en-
terprise in hand. While 1t is reas-
enable to expect that this cross
state-highway will be located
through Monroe City, we might be
badly fooled and it is time some
move was being made to show the
advantages of this route over all
others For instance it can be
shown that the Monroe City route
passes over a country for nearly so
miles without a single bad grade or
hill and no water courses of any
consequence. Boom the cross

Gated through Monroe City.
