Country Paper Eulogized.

A glance over the subscription lists
Of the small country weekly always
reveals much that is interesting to
the thoughtful person. There is hard
ly a paper of this type that does not
send copies to not only every state
in the Union but to many foreign
countries. The reason to what far
corner of the world a person may MI
crate, he cherishes a tender spot in
his heart for the little weekly sheet
he has known since he was old
enough to read. His life may have
drifted far from the lives of those
who were once his friends or ac-
.quaintances, but the weekly paper
is always like 4 breath of his lost
youth. In chronicling the doings of
those who remained at home and did
not go out into the world, It brings
to his memory many youthful de-
lights, perhaps few sorrows, but it
IS nevertheless, a welcome message
from home. A recently printed par
agraph tells more reasons why the
great dailies are not able to wholly
displace the country weekly in the
affections OF newspaper readers. Here
it is:
Your home newspaper heralded
to the world your birth; it told of
your entry into school; mentioned
your birthday party when you were
sweet sixteen; applauded your grad
ration from the high school. started
you to college; and when you return
ed, mentioned the first job you secur-
ed; told of your marriage to the
sweetest girl in town, and also the
advent Cor EVENT. of your tirst-born;
told of the visits of pa and ma. SYM
pathized with you in your joy; and
when you die it will do it's best to
get you through the pearly gates
at only $3.50 a year"

but very fine.
There is an overdrapery Of scant

The overdress is edged with q

strip Of blue satin finished with a
narrow ruffie under which it fastens

A new ANGLE TO
H|GRCOsT OFLWNG
WAGES PAID FARMHANps HAS
INCREASED IS PER CENT IN
20 YEARS.
HOURS OF LABOR SHORTENED
Favorable Conditions Suggested as
Inducement to Unemployed In
Cities to Invite Them Back
to the Farm.

Jefferson City.-A decided increase
in wages, shorter hours and the high
yer cost of boarding farm hands are
assigned as being partly responsible
for the increase in the cost of living
between 1894 and 1914, a period of
20 years.
The increase of wages and the re-
sduction of the number of hours of
toll a day is suggested as an induce
ment to the unemployed of the large
cities and towns to flock to the rural
section, work on farms and live hap
py and contented on the fat of the
land, with ample time daily for re-
creation and education for those in
eclined to be sudious.
In 1893 the wages of the Missouri
farm hand averaged $14.56 a month,
including board and room. The
daily hours then ran from II to Is a
day, according to the season of the
year. In the early part of 1914 wages
had advanced to $21.60 a month with
board and room and the daily time
had gone down to 10 hours.
In 1909 the monthly wages of a
boarded farm hand was $20.56 as com
pared to $15.57 for 1899 and $14.56
for 1894. From 1898 to 1918 the
advance in wages was 4S per cent,
and from 1909 to 1913 5 per cent.
AS to farm hands who roomed and
boarded themselves, in 1898 this class
was paid $20.57 a month; in 1899
Coy. Major euphoniously dubbed st.
$29.40. The increase in wages from
1893 to 1913 amounted to 81 per cent.
There is still another variety OF
Missouri farm help, the harvesters,
who generally only work the latter
part part of June and probably all
of July to help garner the huge wheat
crop. In 1893 those of this class were
paid $1.10 a day each; in 1909, $1.5O
per day, and in 1918, $1.57; board
and room included. Without board
and room such harvest hands, in 1893
drew $1.33 a day; in 1909, $1.81, and
in 1918, $1.95.
Then there is still another variety
of farm help, the man who works by
the day, whenever there is work for
him to do. This class in 1898 av'
ueraged 68 cents, in Missouri, with
board and room, and SO cents without
In 1909 the pay had increased to 81
a day with board and room, and $1.21
without; and in 1918 saw a still furth
er increase to $1.08 a day with board
and room, and S1.39 without.
In the United States, all states con,
ssidered, the average increase from
1893 to 1918 for regular farm hands
has been 54.4 per cent, the amount
paid monthly going up from $3.50
to $21.38, including board and room
But at the same time the farmer
owning his own farm has grown more
wealthy since the value of his farm
and other holdings has doubled. II
addition the value per acre Of a full
crop production has also increased
80 per cent.
