WAGES ON FARMS
HAVE Al ICED

. A northern Wisconsin paper carried
an advertisement for a company want
ing farm manager for a Michigan
farm. The wages are SIS per month
and board. The applicant must be a
good farmer and capable of bossing
the work of clearing up dead and
down timber.
Seventy-five dollars a month and
board means a good deal. It is a diff
ferent sum than farm hands got a few
years ago. Thirty years ago when
young men in the country hired out to
a farmer $40 a month and board was
considered extra good pay. This price
was raid only during the months of
the year that farming operations were
carried on. Sometimes the hand"
stayed and helped with the chores for
his board during the winter and, in
some cases a nominal sum was paid
during the winter months but few
hired men we're SO fortunate as to get
full pay the year around. r.
But the requirements Of the adver-
tisement demand a good farmer. That
may, mean an agricultural school
graduate or it may mean a man who
makes farming pay without having
had the advantages Of the agricultural
school: No age limit is mentioned.
It does not specify. a young man as
most wants in the classified columns
do. The only requirement seems to-
be that man is wanted who can de
liver the goods. =. :-- T. p
The advertisement may indicate
that the great areas Of stump land in
the north are being fast put under
cultivation and that opportunities now
present will not be, available in q few
years more. "A few advertisements OF
that kind, however. are apt to accel-
crate a back to the land movement of

STATE LIABILITY :.
INSURANCE / i c SUCCESS ! J !
E KIP . riment In Pennsylvania
Makes Remarkable Progress
In Six Months.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. H.
pennsylvania is establishing a record
as an underwater of liability insur-
ance. The state Insurance fund, be-
rated six months ago as a costly ex-
pertinent bound to- fail, now repre-
sents one Of the healthiest insurance
businesses in the state. The fund has
a premium income that, on the basis
of present business, will exceed
100000 for the year. It carries
1856 employers who have, insured
$4,000 employees. It operates with a
premium Of 10 per cent below the
charge of the mutuals and it. will pay:
T. dividend that will go back to. those
who have insured with the fund,
The state fund has a reserve that
meets with the approval Of expert
enced- insurance men; its heavy risks
are, re-insured and it.! can. not be
blown out of the water unless the
whole insurance structure OF the
country topples. Moreover, the state
funds pays its losses on the dot; it
does not haggle and litigate. What is
more, competitors of the state fund
do not haggle and litigate as much as
they formerly did, and their charges
are of necessity made on a fair basis.
How 1t Does Business
Here is the way the state fund does
business. March 20. the Conomaugh
Smokeless Coal company had an ex-
plosion. The company. was insured in
the state fund. State inspectors were
on the ground before the bodies were
out Of the mine. Eight men were.
killed and settlements were made SO
promptly that the widows never
missed pay day. Compensations be-
gan in less than month after the
husbands wages ceased. That was
something new in the insurance his
tory of this state.
Under the old system liability in
lawsuits. When the compensation
law went into effect the basis for in
dustrial insurance changed. It was
necessary to make rate readjustments.
The fact the state fund was in exist
ence curbed the tendency of COM
panies to boost rates too high. At
present rates are constantly being re-
adjusted with the consent and some-
| times upon the advice of the insur-
ance commission. The state fund
management, being actively engaged
| in the insurance business, is able to
act as an expert adviser to the COM
mission.
Reduced Rate IS Near.
In a short time the fund will be
making rates based on the schedule
rating plan. The department of labor
| and industry has, elaborated certain
safety standards. Firms that observe
these standards will be given a re-
duced rate. Another point in connec-
ton with the state fund is that it's
money is all invested in Pennsylvania
school and municipal securities. The
surplus is not sent out of the state.
There are 81 widows and IS chill
dren drawing compensation. There
are seven parents who are benefitting
by reason of state insurance. Up to
the present time ST. compensation
cases have ben settled in full and
there are 200 cases pending. With
out solicitation an average of IS poll
cies a day are being written.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-The pos

having been abolished, and the post
master general is ordered to restore
denoted collectors to their former

DELEGATION FROM
 CAOR0N AGREED ON VOTING TASK REDUCED
BALLOTS WILL BEAR NAMES OF SIX BROUGH AND THREE
 HODGES MEN.

A move which will simplify to some extent the task of voting the extreme ly long ballot in the Democratic pri- mary in Cadron township on March 29 is an agreement under which the names of nine delegates and nine al ternate delegates to the county con- lention will be printed on the ballots On March l, when the ticket was closed, no names had been filed for these positions, and the rules of the last Democratic state convention spe- officially directed that the delegates be elected by ballot at the primary, in stead of at mass meetings, as has heretofore been the custom. By con- sent of Secretary J. R. Donnell, how ever, the names of sufficient number of delegates and alternates will be printed on the ticket, thus consider ably lessening the work of both east ing and counting the votes, which will be an arduous task at best.
 !Of the nine delegates whose names will be printed, six are said to be supporters of Dr. C. II. Brough for governor and three are supporters of Earle w. Hodges. 1t is not believed that any of the men are supporters of Judge l.. c. Smith. The list of delegates to be voted on is as follows: Jo Frauenthal, II. T. Whiddon, R. W. Robins, K. G. Bruce, C. w. Clark. W. M. Harrell, II. B. Ingram, C. NJ Han cock and w A. Wilson. The list of aiternate delegates is composed of J. s. Johnson. M C. Canada, J. R. Don he'll, k. D. White, J. D. Brady, George Carter, Frank Schichtl, W. D. Cole. Jr,. and G. W. Adkisson.
 For township committeeman of Cadron township, with four to be elected, the following candidates will have their names printed on the bal lots: c. M. Hancock, Wm. J. Grum mer, J. D. Brady, C. H. Newborn. J. k. Charles, D. O. Harton. J. A. King. W F. Thomasson and Wellington Rob- bins
 The copy for the ballots is now in the hands of the printers and they will be ready for distribution when the County Democratic Central Com lnlttee meets here next Saturday to select judges and clerks to hold the election.

COLD WAVE GIVES
 HARD FREEZE HIRE

The chances for peach crop in this section looked very slim this morning, when the cold wave which started Tuesday afternoon wound up during last night with killing frost and a hard freeze. The minimum temperature during last night, ac- cording to the government thermome- ter, was 26 degrees above zero, or six degrees below the freezing point. Ice one-half inch thick was formed in ex- posed places. Tuesday nights mini mum was 35 degrees above zero
 While it is certain to be more or less damaged, there is a possibility that the peach crop is not entirely de- stroyed. Nearly all trees are in full bloom and at this stage it is said that there is less danger from frost than after the petals have been shed Another favorable feature was the dryness of the atmosphere, there be- ing little if any moisture to freeze in the blooms.

BLIND PIANIST TO BE
 HERE MONDAY NIGHT

Central College authorities are looking forward to a large attend ance at the recital and lectrue to be given here Monday night by the blind pianist of Boston, Mass Sir Edward Baxter Perry, an entertainer of ex- perience and ability. Concerning his appearance in London, the London Musical Opinion says: His accuracy, command of technique and scholarly methods would be remarkable in any player, with or without eyesight, while a nicety of phrasing, an ex- treme but judicious use of the rubato and dramatic treatment of climaxes evince in the player and evoke in the listener and unusual amount of mu- sical emotion. Remarkable warmth and refinement, especially in the treatment of Chopin, have earned MT. Perry in his own country the title of the poet among pianists.
 An admission of 25 cents will be charged at the door.

SCIENCE HALL AT

GIRLS DORMITORY DAMAGED AND OTHER BUILDINGS
 THREATENED

Philadelphia, March 16-Fire yes terday afternoon destroyed the chem ical laboratory of Ouachita College, seriously damaged the young women's dormitory and menaced the main ad- mlnistration building. The high north wlnd made tire-fghting extremely difficult. The damage Is estimated at between S5,0O0 and $S,000, largely covered by insurance.
 All the equipment and specimens in the science building were destroyed. The building was frame structure. Also museum on the second floor, containing animals freaks and stuffed figures of birds, etc., valued at $1 ,0O0, burned. Part of the science library was saved Combustion of chemicals. and rapid spread of the flames all over the structure forced the students to keep back, and the high wind caus- ed the flames to leay nearly 100 feet, setting fire to the kitchen, dining room and upstairs bedrooms in the rear of the girls dormitory. Hard lighting by the tiremen, who were af- forded good water pressure, saved this building from destruction Part of the kitchen was burned and much furniture and dishes demolished.
 As soon as the fire reached the dor mitory, a hundred men students en- tered the building and were fast re- moving everything of value in the glrls' rooms. In few minutes. how ever. the tiremen extinguished the blaze. Great excitement prevailed, Tor with the wind high, the chances of the entire school plant of six build lngs escaping destruction looked slim.
 The administration building was saved by strenuous work of the stu dents on the second and third floors. It was the dinner hour and the meal was unserved in the kitchen, so the students did without. The laboratory was the only frame structure.
 Dean H. l.. McAllster called a meeting of the local members of the board of trustees to consider the re- building of the science hall. For the remainder of the year science will be taught in an improvised laboratory.
