! In comparing farm wages with the
ordinary laboring wages Of the city 1t
should not be f-rgotten that the farm
hand gets his bed and board on the
side. So farm wage Of s25 or $40 a
month Is almost as good as pay at the
rate Of $50 or $50 a month in the av-
erage city. Indeed, it is better in one
important respect. The food that. the
farm hand gets will average much
better than the city worker can find
in boarding houses or restaurants, or
even provide for himself and family
II he is struggling to maintain a
home. And this rather important fea-
ture of this subject does not seem to
have been touched upon in the recent
discussion of 1t in the United States
senate.

THE tendency of prices on the New

shown at the absence of the usual Jan

moderate offering of stocks on foreign

market. This is particularly true of
international shares. but the effect is
also detrimental to the whole market.

As a matter of fact that sample
book costs more to put out than the

order-and who pays for that sam
