Heretofore the farmer had to con-
tend with droughts, floods. grasshop-
pers, weevil. pests, bugs, and a host
of other antagonists, but there has
a new one appeared, and that is the
lack of labor. If he escapes all the
other enemies, he is done for if he en-
counters the last. What is the use
of big crops If there is no help for
them? The next thing the farmers
will be doing will be turning their
grass fields in pasture and raising
cattle. That requires little labor. Be

The fact that under the new Penn
sylvania marriage law the applicant
as to whether he is an imbecile, cpl
leptic or of unsound mind, or whether
he has ever been in a home for
paupers, is calculated to throw some
thing of a damper on loves young
dream. He might answer the first
question of being an imbecile in the
affirmative in wanting to get married
under such strenuous circumstances
And when it comes to the lady's be-
ing asked as to her imbecility she
is likely to reduce the unlucky
license clerk to that condition when
she is through speaking her mind to
him.
