FRIDAY AFTERNOON, NOV. "a, 1916
THE HAPPY FARM HAND.

A. good deal has been heard lately
about the advance in labor costs Oh
all kinds of production.
1t may surprise many people 10
learn that authorities suspect that the
farmers labor bill has increased, IN
Dronortion. more than that of any
other employer In the last ten or ht-
teen years farm labor cost has easily
doubled in many sections. The hired
man is drawing down not only llv-
ing that represents very much more In
money value than it formerly did, but
from so to 100 per cent more wages.
Counting in the added value of the
found" which is part of his compen-
sat1on, along with the increased money
payment, it is calculated that he is get
ting along toward effluence faster than
any other class. His hours of labor,
too, are being shortened. Better equip
ment, and more of it, makes his work
easier In the not distant future
system of individual rural credits will
make it possible for the thrifty farm
laborer to establish himself, first as
tenant and then as landed proprietor.
The farmland has pretty good thing
if he will just compare his situation
and opportunities with those of the
average laborer in city or town.-F'rom
Farm and Fireside.

HARD WORK.

There is too much hard work on the
farm for u.s." said a young farmer as
he moved off his little farm into town,
There is not as much hard work
about farming as there used to be"
observed an old man as he watched
the harvesting machinery in oper-
alton out in the field.
Thus has every age looked upon
farming as a business of hard work.
1t is, was and always will be true.
There are two facts which every
young man or woman debating the
possibilities of farming should un-
derstand first of all:
First, success of farming can be
achieved only by hard work.
Second, it will require just as much
Lard work to succeed at anything
else
In the days the old man referred
to more of the work of the field was
done by hand, but with the advent OF
machinery other factors appeared and
farming is still hard work" AS time
advances there will be still more OF
the mechanical work at home, field
and barn done by machinery. The
time will come when all farmers will
ride at all field work. when the work
in the stables, dairy and household
may be performed at the touch of
button or the turn of switch; but
even then there will be times wher
the successful farmer and his wife
will be required to spend the last
ounce of energy, and when they viii
welcome the end Of the day.
The young man mentioned knows
of the hard work of the farm but he
does not know of the hard work he
goes to Distance ends enchantmen
| to the view" The other fellows jot
always looks the easier. Every sue
cessful person knows that there are
no soft snaps" in the world worth
the having. Hard work is necessary
to self-development, to improvement
even to healthful normal life itself
Then why should men seek to avolt
it? In the sweat of thy face shall
thou eat bread was not pronounced
as a sentence for punishment, bu
it is the promise of reward and i
an unalterable law for all who woult
have the more abundant life. -

MEXICO AGAIN.

IL the International commission can
effect an arrangement that will enable
US to withdraw our troops from
Mexico, we believe that it will be ap-
proved by the public sentiment Of the
country. Whether Mexico is or is not
nearer pacifcation than it was nine
months ago is immaterial in this con-
nection. The practical question is,
why should we keep General PERISH
ing's force any longer on Mexican
soil? 1t was sent there strictly as
punitive expedition, but it has long
abandoned that character. IL it is not
to be used to hunt Villa, which was
the purpose for which it was sent, the
logic of the situation would seem to
demand it's return to our own terri
tory. 1t can probably be just as SER
yiceable on our side of the boundary
line in heading off bandit incursions
into the United States as it can be in
Mexico. At present the Pershing ad-
vance post seems to be a source Of in
ternational irritation without afford
ing any particular protection to our
frontier
The question should be decided
without regard to Carranza bluff or
buster, and simply from the stand
point of our duty to our neighbor. Ii
we withdraw, the de facto Mexican
government should be made to under
stand that it must live up to it's re-
sponsibility, and that if we are forced
to 90 into Mexico again we may not
content ourselves with suppressing
Villa.
Mexico continues an unsolved and
veXatious problem. What part we
shall have in solving it is still uncer-
tain. We all prefer that it should
work out its own salvation, and most
Americans are willing to give Mexico
another chance to do SO. The return
Of the Pershing expedition may has
ten the solution, one way or the 9TH
err The greatest hardship in the pres
ent situation consists in the fact that
we are obliged to keep our militia SO
long on the border doing purely police
work. If Mexico is to remain in an
unsettled state for several years long
er, We ought to have regular army
arge enough to perform this work,
md not be compelled to keep the Ma
;ional Guard indefinitely on police ser

crop to another

Once upon a time Edwin Putnam,
who lives In the quiet, pretty hamlet
of Wendell Depot, Mass, climbed up
into a loft to get some building ma
terial, just as many another man liv-
ing in the country must often do. Sud-
denly he slipped and fell. Ten feet
below was pile of wood, knotten and
gnarled. 1t was a nasty tumble, and
Mr.. Putnam was injured painfully in
the back, he was covered with bruises,
and was sore from head to foot.
The next day he bought bottle OF
Sloan's Liniment which had been
recommended to him. Within very
few hours the soreness had vanished
and the lameness had disappeared. He
was an active man once more.
Sloan's Liniment can be obtained at
all drug stores, 25c., soc. and $1.OO.

FARM TIMBER SOLD TOO CHEAP.

"A
A representative of the United
States Department of Agriculture re-
Gently returned from the rich Maui
NEE River region of northwestern
Ohio, where he has been studying the
problems of increasing the forest
wood lot product and improving the
market for it. Just before he left, he
asked one farmer if any timber had
been sold from his place lately. The
farmer replied very sadly that he had
sold his timber that summer and that
the buyer had got the best Of him.
When asked about the terms of SELL
ing, the farmer said that the buyer
had hung around for two months and
after they had become very well &C
quainted, had assured the farmer that
he could estimate the value Of the
timber very closely. He had then
made an offer which the farmer had
accepted without further investiga-
ton.
The sale was made for all the tim
Der on the 61h acre wood lot for the
lump sum of $3.50. The trees were
very tall, clean, medium-sized, high
grade white and burr oak, with few
hickories. All were clear of limbs
and were ideal timber trees. BY es-
timating from the tops and the
stumps which were left, the forester
found that the tract showed a yield
of nearly 14,5OO board feet per acre.
Allowing 10 per cent. for possible de-
feet, which is a liberal allowance for
such a thrifty stand, the yield was
something more than $4,000 feet. The
average price of white oak stumpage
per thousand board feet in this local
ity is SIT, though the high grade of
timber on this wood lot was worth
from SIS to $40. Figuring at SIT
however, the timber included in this
sale was worth SLABS as it stood in
the trees; or, in other words, the
farmer had permitted the buyer to
secure one of his valuable farm pro-
ducts for $1,176 less than the farm
er should have received.
The remedy for this condition pro-
posed by the Department of Agricul-
ture is that farmers, before they sell
their wood-lot holdings, should get in
touch with the State forester or the
State agricultural authorities, and Sc
cure advice as to what trees should
be cut and, if possible, an estimate
of the amount and value of the tim
Der to be sold. Even when it is not
easy to secure the advice of forester
the farmer should at least get sever
al bids before making a sale.
1t should also be kept in mind, says
the department, that the future value
Of the woodland tract depends on the
way it is cut. To allow local buyer
TO 20 in and take everything usually
means the end of that wood lot as
source of money. On the other hand,
Il there is a contract which provides
hat certain desirable, young, thrifty
trees be left to form the nucleus OF
4 future stand, the value Of the tract
can be increased from one timber
Lrop to another.

FEDERAL INQUIRY INTO HIGH
COST OF LIVING

The fact that there are extremely
valid explanations for the increase in
the prices Of everything from bonds
TO beans in this country does not
mean that the proposed Federal in
quiry into the high cost of living is
not a wise proceeding and may not
do good.
The main cause of the rise in prices
is, of course, the immense demand.
This affects not only the articles
principally demanded in the United
States and foreign countries, but also
all articles which may be used as
substitutes for them and, by natural
influence, the entire commodity list.
In the matter of the great food staples
crop shortages are another factor
making for an increase.
Added to these there are, of course,
other factors. There is the large
amount of money and credit available
i'm this country. Cheap money, re-
Elected in low interest rates, also re-
fleets itself in higher prices along the
entire line. Then there is the BOOM
ing industrial situation, which, apart
from the fundamental economic fac
tors at work, generally generates a
high price psychology.
But with all this making for high
prices, it need not be assumed that
there may not be efforts at combina-
ton and forestalling to carry these
natural influences still further. On the
contrary, the situation is one which
would naturally appear to attempt
those inclined in that direction on the
theory that responsibility would be
easier to evade. A genuine high
price inquiry should disclose this
factor if it exists, and eliminate from
the situation by the threat of prose-
cution.-From the Chicago Herald.
