Why Farms Are Deserted.

A portion of the scarcity OF labor
on Missouri farms is attributed to the
low monthly wages paid when COM
PARSONS are made with what farmers
in surrounding states, north, east and
west, give their hired hands, accord
ing to advance information from the
1917 Red Book shortly to be Issued
by the bureau of labor statistics. The
year 1917 saw sharp advance for
Missouri in the monthly sums paid to
farmers helpers, when listed along
with what was paid for this purpose
in 1916, 1915 and 1910, but other Sec
tions also increased the pay Of their
farm hands, and Missouri is still be-
hind in this respect. For early 1917
Missouri farm hands averaged $27 per
month with board, as against $23 for
1915; $22 for 1915 and $21.50 for 1910;
and without board, $35 for early 1917;
$3.50 for 1916; $3O.10 for 1915 and
$3.50 for 1910.
In the three years under considera-
ton the farmers of Ohio, Indiana, I'LL
nois, Wisconsin and Michigan paid
their farm hands from $3.50 to SO q
month more than the wages prevailing
In Missouri. either with or without
board. Harvest hands in the same
states averaged from $1.90 to S2.0s a
day in 1916 with board. as compared
with $1.71 for Missouri, and without
board from 50 3S to S2.55 as compared
with $212 for Missouri.
Farm hands in Minnesota, Iowa, the
Dakotas, Nebraska and Kansas were
paid from $275c a month with board
to S3410, as compared with S23 for
Missouri. Daily wages in the same
states, as compared with Missouri
were much higher in proportion.
For Kentucky, Alabama. Mississip
pl, Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas the
monthly wages paid farm hands range
from $3.50 for Alabama to $2250 for
Oklahoma. as compared with the $29
average for Missouri, the chief reason
why wages were lower in these south
ern states being that the majority OF
those employed are negroes. The
| daily wages also, with or without any
board, were proportionately lower be
cause of the same conditions.

QUEER DREAMS OF TRENCHES
Strange Part About Many Of Them
Writes Soldier, Is That They
Come True.

"One fayorite topic in trench life
is the narration Of strange dreams,
true and otherwise. But without ex-
aggeratlon, some Of the dreams that
/ have listened to have come true"
writes q corporal in a Surrey regi-
ment "There is young Fillips, the
popular chimney sweep of Croydon,
before the war, he dreamed one
night that he would be gassed, and
sure within twenty-four hours that
turned out to be his luck. A mate
OF mine had a dream one night that
his little sister, who was suffering
from tuberculosis, had passed away
and appeared to him in the dream
about two o'clock In the morning.
When he got his next mail, the
trench was dumbfounded to hear
him read that his sister actually
died at the time he saw her In his
dreaml
Another fine young fellow had n
dream that he was riding over the
Lee marshes once more and fell into
the Lee, being rescued by one of us.
Three weeks afterwards he was near
ly drowned in one Of the rivers to the
rear and was helped out when his life
was almost extinct. Some of the
dreams are just like most dreams, but
1t is curious thing--I have noticed
ever since ! have crossed the channel
how few dream of home. Our day
dreams are often about when the
CHASTITY war will finish"

Seek to Secure Training Camp.

Governor Gardner has launched a
campaign to get for this state the new
United States training camp for sol
Giers from Missouri, Kansas and Col
orado. The governor said the govern
ment would spend s5,00O,000 on i'm
provements for the camp, including
1000 houses, and that $4,000 soldiers
will be under continuous training at
at the camp. A site of 10000 acres
for war maoneuvers will be required.
The governor said that the military
board Of the government had inspect
ed sites in the three states, and will
soon make a report. 1t would be 3
splendid thing for Missouri to get the
camp, he said, and as the state will
furnish as many soldiers as both the
other states, It is clearly entitled to
it Missouri is more centrally To-
Gated than either OF the other states,
and this would result in the saving of
much money in railroad fares and in
freight, salad the governor.

First Aid In EIectrocutlon.

The deaths that occur every year
from electric shock have never been
recorded by the statistlcian, but 1t is
estimated by one electric company that
they number many thousands. Fortu'
nately, however, recent experiments
have shown that persons apparently
dead from electric shock may be re-
suscltated by a special kind Of first
aid treatment. If given Immediately.
The victim Is taken hold Of by the
heels, which are raised slowly until
the weight of the body is on the shoul-
ders. This is done several times In
succession, after which the bottom of
the feet are tapped vigorously with u
cane or stick. Inasmuch as an over
dose of electricity causes the victim
to swallow his tongue, the mouth
should be opened and the tongue pulled
back into place the very first thing.
An encouraging number of cases have
recovered when administered this first
aid treatment and 1t is now being
taught by several electrical companies,
