MUST CHANGE VIEWS
ON LABOR QUESTION
SAYS CAPTAIN PECK
OLD HAPPY.Go-LUckY DAYS ARE
GONE NEVER TO
RETURN.
SYSTEM OF WORK 10 Be CHANGED
Both Farmer and Lahorer Must Al
preciate the Value of Time ans
That More Intelligent AttentioR
Must Be Given Work.
(By T. F. Peck.)

We see much In the papers about
the back to the farm" movement
Now, while there are thousands q
able bodied men in the cities who ara
almost dependent upon charity for
their food, clothing and fuel and at
the same time while the majority e9
our farmers are short on labor, some
thing certainly ought to be done 70
bring together the farmer needing la
borers and the laborers needing work.
Before this is accomplished a lot
of re-adjusting will have to be done;
the way of looking at the matter viii
have to change on the part of both
the farmer and the laborer.
Before the laborer drifted from the
country to the city, while working On
the farm he received low wage for
his labor, but this was supplemented
by free house rent, free fuel, free
garden, pasturage for a COW, fruits.
in fact the bulk of his living expens-
es were provided free, and for which.
when he moved to town, he paid out
the bulk OF his wages.
When work was scarce his expena-
es were just the same, and in short
time he was in very hard luck. While
working ON the farm both the labor
er and the farmer, feeling that as the
wages were low it was not so imp0r-
tant to make the most Of the time. 10
was happy-go-lucky way of doing.
The laborer was paid for all he earn
ed. When there was period of rail-
road construction work, numbering,
mining, or manufacturing opened in
the vicinity or in the city, the labor
er heard of the big wages, as it look
ed to him, and he was lured away to
the city and the public works, where
he used up what in the country ha
could always replenish. His wages
were larger, but his expenses took IL
all.
Now if he comes back to the farm
his viewpoint and that of the farmer
must change, the old happy-go-lucky
days are gone. Both must appreciate
the value of time and that more in
telligent attention must be given to
farm work.
The farmer, to succeed, must be q
business man and use business meth
DDS in farming. He must know he is
getting an honest intelligent days
work and he must get pay for his
house, garden, fuel, etc, furnished his
laborers. When he does, he can af-
ford to pay as good wages as can be
paid for the same class OF work any-
where.
When the farmer and laborer get
to looking at the situation in thts-
way, then and not till then can the
farmer afford to compete with pub
lie works in prices of labor.
The laborer must realize the value
of his house, garden and fuel, etc, be-
fore he is satisfied with his wages.
When this viewpoint can be adjusted
then all our labor can be employees
all the time; can be assured Of the
necessities of life.

CUPID TO HAVE INNINGS
AT FOOD SHOW TONIGHT
Newly Wed and Engaged Couples to
Be Admitted Free-Red-Head
Night a Success.

Newly wed and engaged couple are
to be admitted to the food show to-
night free of charge.
To gain admission, however, newly
weds must exhibit a marriage license
that has been issued since January /,
1915, and the engaged ones must bring
along wedding invitation or an
nouncement which indicates that be-
fore long they will be Mr.. and Mrs. So
and So.
Last night was red-head night at the
show. Every red-headed woman was
admitted free of charge. Manager
Patrick announced that about $500 red
heads were in attendance.
Judging from the number OF escorts
that accompanied the red-haired wom-
en- that type of beauty is much favored
in Washington, and the exhibitors, too,
joined in the entertainment of the
guests of the evening by being espe-
ciaily generous in the distribution of
samples. The presence of so many red
haired women was naturally the occa-
sion for great deal of good-na tured
comment, and last nighs at the food
show will go down IN the records of the
exhibition as one of the most interest
Ing periods of the two weeks.
Many amusing incidents occurred at
the door Just a lock or two of red
hair did not suffice for the ticket
takers. They made it plain that they
were from Missouri and many of those
accorded free admission promptly un-
covered just to prove that there was no
deception. 1t did not make a bit of diff
ference to the ticket takers whether
the red hair worn was natural or
bought and paid for" All that was
required for free admission was red
hair.

For Revenue Only

We cannot truly love the man
whose. business is his idol; it
shapes his every, act and plan, it
is his spur and bride. He beams
upon the little chaps, and, while
he's looking sunny, he thinks,
They'll tell their dads, perhaps,
and | will get their money He
: gives some nickels. to the poor,
with freedom most surprising,
when he is absolutely sure twill
bring him advertising. He'll
stand up strong for any cause
which may have raised a f1utter,
if it will help him sell some saws,
some calico or butter. On Sum
day to the church he wends, and
thinks, while hymns are ringing,
Its good to make these people
friends-new trade they will be
bringing" When some one dies
he sheds a tear, as one lett sad
and lonely, but while he weeps
above the bier he thinks of in
come only. THE mourners have
all kinds OF kale. their trade is
we'll worth gaining, and so I'll
whoop around and wall, my lungs
and larynx sprainine." We find
this man in every cline, and with
gold bricks we rate him; he puts
it over for time, but in the end
we hate him.

dents of Falls Church. represented by
the Village Improvement Association,
construction of the final links in the
macadam road between Fairfax Court

Chain bridge over the Potomac at the

A stretch of about 1900 feet of the
road at West Falls Church which
never has been improved is now TO De
completed, the town paying $500 toward
the cost of the work and the balance
of about s1.10o being raised by private
subscription. BY readjustment OF the
tax rate the town council will raise the
money to resurface Broad street the
old Alexandria-Le turnpike) and

work are completed motorists Will nave
choice of two macadamlzed routes TO
Fairfax Court House, one through
Falls Church and the other by way OF
Langley and Vienna, a round trip OF
about thirty miles over perfect roads
Route to Leesburg.
A movement now is on foot to bond
the Dranesville district of Fairfax
county to macadamize the road from
Vienna to the Loudoun county line
The building of twelve or fifteen miles
of road would give a continuous ma
cadam route to Leesburg- Loudoun
county already has taken up the prop
osition of continuing the road to the
Shenandoah valley by way of Blue
mont, to connect with the fine pike at
Eerryville The most difficult part of
this undertaking would be the build
ing of the road through about three
miles of very rough mountainous coun-
try at Bluemont, but when completed
it would provide a route OF great
scenic beauty from the National Capital
to the valley of Virginia.
