LONDON. April 22.-When, owing
to her sunny nature, little Mabel
Clarke burst into song the other day
at the West Ham poorhouse, she
never imagined that her voice would
raise her from the unfnspiring voca-
ton Of household drudge branded
with the stigma OF the pauper to
future comfort and probably fame in
the operate world. Mabel is just
fourteen. Her parents died recently,
leaving her homeless and penniless,
she was taken charge of by the West
Ham board of guardians. AS usual
with girls of her class she was put
on housework with view to training
her as a domestic servant Shortly
some Of the guardians
while visiting the infirmary heard her
singing. The dingy walls had never
echoed such melody before. The
guardians Immediately sent for her

Hawkeye Hands Make eetter Than
the Average for Rest Of U. s.
:. by IS to $40 Per
Month.
INCREASE SINCE 1902
chickasaw County Pays Highest in
State While Lowest Rate 10
Found In
Davis.

Iowa farmers are paying better
wages than the average paid In the
United States by SIS and $40 shows
comparison of figures compiled in the
AGRICULTURAL department Of the state
at Des Moines with figures of tbs
government just received. By the
months, says the government, the
average farm wage in the United
States Is $21.3s. In Chickasaw coun-
ty, Iowa, the wage is $41.29 in sum-
mer. the highest paid in Iowa; and IN
Davis county 1t is $24.27 a month, the
lowest paid in Iowa.
The government report shows that
money wages of farm labor Increased
about 90 per cent during the past
year. Since 1902 the increase has
been about SO per cent These esti-
mates ars based upon reports OF cor
respondents of the bureau OF stat1s-
tics agricultural forecasts) of the
department Of agriculture.
Wages OF farm labor tended upward
during the decade Of the seventies;
they were almost stationary during
the eighties, and declined from 1892
TO 1894, since which time they have
steadily tended upward. Farm wages
now, compared with wages during the
eighties. are about So per cent higher:
compared with wages during the year
of 1894 they are about 67 per cent
higher.
The current average rate Of farm
wages in the United States, when
board Is included is, by the month
s213S. When board IS not includds,
the rate is by the month s30.31. BY
the day, other than harvest, $I.50; by
the day at harvest, s1.94.
Wages in different sections OF the
United States vary widely, averaging
highest in the far western states and
lowest in the south Atlantic states.
This wide difference in wage rates in
diff srent sections Of the United States
is gradually lessening, 1t Is said. In
seven investigations made between
1866 and 1881. the average OF wages
of farm day labor without board in
the far western states VIII ere wages
were highest was about 100 per cent
higher than in the South Atlantic
states where wages were lowest.
Whereas. IN seven investigations made
since 1898. the western states aver
aged about 10 per cent higher than
the South Atlantic states and in the
pa st year they were only about 80
per cent higher.

Boat Unable to Land.


Fort Madison Democrat: Owing to
the fact that the river became so
rough during the wind storm Satur.
day, the Black Hawk was unable to
land at Fort Madison and another
boat had to tie up to the draw sup.
port while attempting to go through
the draw.
Early Saturday morning, a stiff
breeze blowing over the river from
the west which by noon was blowt. 3
small gale and the white caps in the
Open channel were several feet high,
breaking over with considerable force.
About four thirty, when the Black
Hawk reached Fort Madison after a
battle with the waves in passing
through the draw, it was decided by
the captain OF the boat that no at
tempt to land would be made on ac-
count OF the height of the waves,
which were breaking over the banks
with terrific force and which would
probably cause damage to the boat.
The Mary X, transport boat, was
forced to tie to the draw support when
an attempt was made to pass through
the draw, as they could not hold their
course against the wind. The sheer
boom, placed at the Pine street boat
landing to keep the boats off the
rocks used in filling in the park
front, was torn from its moorings and
blown up stream several blocks. Sew
eral large holes were washed out OF
the bank and the owners of launch
houses spent most of the afternoon in
watching their buildings and boats,
but no serious damage has been re-
ported.
