Farmers Want Workers.

Our war prosperity" carries it's own
draw back. While war orders for GER
tain European demand has so upset the
industrial situation that almost any
person who wants an under cover
job" can get it. AS a result farmers
all over the country are complaining Of
their inability to get help. The season
is late and just when they need help
most the supply is short. And that is
not the worst Of it, for the farmers are
not only obliged to meet the present
situation but another months ahead.
They are curtailing their planting both
for want OF help now and for fear that
they will not have adequate help
when harvest time comes
Thus if the war demand ceases we
are suddenly between the devil and the
deep-unemployment and high prices
because of short supply.

The Cause Of GRAY Hair.

A northern woman was visiting a
friend down south. One morning the
northern woman, Mrs. K, was prepar-
ing for breakfast. She stopped a mo-
ment, rather alarmed at the number
OF gray hairs that were beginning to be
sprinkled among the black. An old
colored woman came into her room
while she was looking at the gray
locks in the mirror
oh, my, I'm getting old, Mary"
she remarked to the colored woman,
busy with her work.
"Old? Why honey, you looks like a
spring lamb" exclaimed the old COL
ored servant.
No, I'm old; know it. Look at my
gray hair. That's the best sign l
know of. Gray hair means old age to
me-"
Law, missus gray hair amt no
sign of old age. That's jist sign Of
worriation and weak mind"

Maine Gossip
The Dog.

I've never known a dog to wag
His tail in glee he didn't feel,
Nor quit his old-time friend to tag
At some more influential heel
The yellowest cur I ever knew
Was, to the boy who loved him, true.
I've never known a dog to show
Halfway devotion to his friend.
To seek a kinder man to know
Or richer. but unto the end
The humblest dog l ever knew
Was, to the man that loved MIN, true.
I've never known dog to fake
Affection for present gain.
A false display of love to make,
Some little favor to attain.
I've never known a Prince or Spot
That seemed to be what he was not.
But I have known dog to fight
With all his strength to shield friend
And whether wrong or whether right,
To stick with him until the end.
And l have known dog to lick
The hand of him that men would kick
And I have known dog to bear
Starvation pangs from day to day
With him who had been glad to share
His bread and meat along the way.
No dog, however mean or rude,
Is guilty Of ingratitude.
The dog is listed with the dumb,
No voice has he to speak his creed,
His messages to humans come
BY faithful conduct and by deed.
He shows, as seldom mortals do,
