able TO read English than to under

Fairbanks got into the habit Of writ
ing little notes as to things he wanted
done, such as order more Seltzer, or
"have my silk hat ironed."
~ few days ago Fairbanks had a
new die made for his stationery, and
when the first batch of letter-paper
was delivered at his rooms there was
written on the outer wrapper in
hand not unlike the actors, Idle in
side this package"
When Fairbanks arrived home the
Jap was all packed up, ready to
leave. He announced that he was re-
signing. His astonished employer
wanted to know why, and the indig
nant valet pointed to the inscription.
How could do such?" he inquired.

WHY MEN REFUSE JOBS.

One explanation Of thousands of
men being out of work in Chicago is
given 10y Harry NJ. Hedges. head of
the department of physiology in the
Crane technical high school, who let
his beard grow. put on an old suit of
clothes and investigated.
The answer as found by Mr.. Hedges
was that many men will not take a
job unless they can get just what they
wish TO do.
Hedges, posing as a man out of a
job and willing to work at anything
got employment in four places within
three hours at wages ranging from $12
TO S25 a week The same jobs were
refused by a number of other men
for several reasons. They either did
not like the place in which they would
have to work or the character Of the
employment did not suit them.
The mere opportunity to work and
earn a living did not appeal to them.
Unless they could have the kind Of
work they wanted the preferred to
board at the soup houses. The scrip
tural injunction to do whatever your
hands find to do" had no weight with
them.
OF course such finicky people are
not in the majority. Most men out
of work and hard up will take any
kind of honest employment they can
get. and yet there is a growing ten
dency TO do only one thing. 1t is an
outgrowth of our labor system which
puts men at particular tasks and holds
them there, creating a sort of indus
trial aristocracy; at least destroying
the democracy of labor

GLENDALE
SOIL EXPERT HERE

Professor r. W. Clothier. who is in
charge of the Investigations in farm
management being conducted in Ari-
iona by the United States department
of agriculture. has returned to the Salt
River valley and is working now in the
Glendale district
The object of the investigation is to
discover what systems of farming pay
best. to devise plans of reorganization
that will make the poor farms over
from a losing business into one that
pays, and to improve the financial re-
turns ofthe better farms
To do this it is necessary to find ont
what the farms are now doing in a
business way and to this end Profess
SCR Clothier is interviewing the indi
Nidual farmer and taking records of
the business oone during the year just
closing
Since no one desires to reveal his
business to the public, perhaps it is
well to say here, that the information
obtained by the interviewers is kept
absolutely confidential. and is used on
ly in drawing general conclusions. Such
records as may be published will be re :
ferred to the farm by number only and
the name Of the owner will never be
revealed
When the results of the investigation
are published. copy of the pubica
ton will be mailed to each farmer in
terviewed. Others may obtain them
through their senator's and congress
men or by writing direct to the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington
d. C.
About 175 farms in Arizona have
been studied by Mr.. Clothier up to date
ana ne hopes to study at least 1900 be
fore the work is completed.
Professor Clothier organized the col
.lege Of agriculture, and remained in
charge of it until late in the year 1919
when 1T was combined with the exper-
iment station under the supervision OF
Director Forbes. He resigned his posi-
ton in the University September 1
