THE MAN FOR THE FARM.

The ideal hired man on the farm
is one who farms because he is In love
with the work, and who studies the
best methods of agriculture, both by
observation and books and papers,
and who prefers the clearly. orderly
and healthy occupation of farm life
to the squalid and disturbing influ-
ences of the city.
The hired man who receives from
$50 to $40 per month and his board
the year around, Is better off f]nan-
cially and more often becomes indie
pendent, than many city workmen,
whose wages are three times as much.

THE FARMER.

With the increase in the crops there
has been an increase in prices. Just
as the farmers have learned how to
make two grains grow where one grew
before, the manufacturers have dis
covered new uses for their products.
In the end the prosperity of the
country all comes down to the crops

of strong wire is then fastened to
both hooks by means of the s'ots and

The wire is then twisted fast and
there is no danger of its yielding or

BR1TA1N's FIGHT ON BOOZE.

"Drink is doing more damage to this coun-
try than all the German submarines put to-
gether," was the exact sentence which fell from
the lips of Chancellor Lloyd George in his
speech on February % at Bangor, Wales This
one utterance is destined to mark the beginning
of new epoch in English history. The people
are greatly aroused. Huge mass meetings are
being held, King George has spoken. SO has
Lord Kitchener. A movement for the prohib-
ton of the liquor traffic as a war measure and
possibly as a permanent law, is now making
tremendous Roadway. The above statement of
Lloyd George was made after lie had spoken
as follows:
II have something to say that is unpleas-
ant Most of our workmen are putting
every ounce of their strength into this
urgent work Loyalty and periodically, but
there are some who shrk their duty. Some
workmen in the armament works refuse to work
full week for the nations need. They are in
the minority; the vast ma ority belongs to the
class that we can depend on, but a small minor
ity of workmen can throw whole works out Of
gear by reason sometimes of one thing and
sometimes of another. But to be perfectly can
did, 1t is mostly the lure of drink. They refuse
to work full time, and when they do, their
strength and efficiency are impaired through
the way they have spent their leisure. Drink
is doing us more damage thar all the German
submarines put together"
The chancellor then went on to say:
Russia has stopped drink. NJ, Bark, the
Russian minister of finance, with whom I con-
ferred in Paris, told me that the output of
Russian workmen had increased from thirty to
fifty per cent since the sale of vodka had been
prohibited. .L
I'M, Bark admitted that he had lost $780,
100000 in yearly revenue, which he certainly
could not afford, but he added that if the gov.
eminent proposed to revert to the old condition
there would be a4revehtion in Russia. ~...<
'1The stoppage of the sale of drink in Russia
has been due entirely to the Gar, and it was
one OF the most heroic things of the war.
France abolished the sale of absinthe by a
ten to one majority in single afternoon. This
shows how these great countries are facing
their responsibilities
"We propose nothing so drastic but we are
armed with full powers for the defense of the
realm We have great powers to deal with,
drink, and We mean to use them. We shall use
them in spirit of moderation and wisely, but
quite fearlessly, and no doubt the country will
support our action

THE PRICE.

is paying for submarine safety.
1t is not peculiarly of the American peo-
pie that great disaster is often required to
bring forth safeguards for human life. Other
nations are apathetic in approprlating money
for needed precautions, or in enforcing public
rules, until some horrible tragedy awakens
them to the situation.
1t took an Iroquois theater fire to wake up
Chicago to an enforcement of modern fire pre-
yention rules.
1t took the General Slocum disaster to wake
up New York and several other cities to reali-
zation of the rottenness Of excursion steamer
and ferry boat conditions.
1t took the sinking of the Titanic to wake up
the transatlantic passenger lines; to force the
