SHORTAGE OF help
RAISES FARM WAGES
Farmers Offering SIS q Week
For Work on Farms-May De.
lay Putting in seeds.

Jefferson City No., Feb. 21.-With
the approach of spring there is great
uneasiness among the farmers in this
part. of the state lest they be unable
to obtain sufficient help to raise the
crops they are being urged SO strong
Ily to do.
The profits in farming are said =
be 50 large these days that it ap-
pears no urging is necessary to in
duce the average farmer to do his lev
el best, but farm help presents a
problem such as agricultural COM
munites never heard before.
1t is stated on very good authority
that farmers in this part of the state
are offering SIS week for help and
that few of them are getting the
workers they had hoped for. Many
Of the young farmers are in the ma
tional army and more are scheduled
to 60.
In the cities SIS week would not
be considered high wages to the aver
age young man with intelligence and
q desire to work, for in town one who
who is working for hire must fed
and lodge himself. These two impor-
tant items, together with laundry
work, are a part of the perquisites Of
those who work on the farm as hired
men. The hours, however, on the
farm during the busy season are any
where from four to six hours longer.
No such a thing as an eight hour
working scale on a farm was ever
heard of in this state.
1t is not clear just yet where the
farmers are to get their extra help
to SOW and gather record-breaking
crops. Farm help is the most serious
question in the matter of food pro-
ducts that is confronting the rural
sections of Missouri What the farm
nrs say they want is intelligent, in
dustrious help. They would not feed
the average town loafer for all he
could or would do, they say.
Several days ago a farmer of mar
Advance was in the Cape looking for
farm hands offering to pay young men
$50 month and board. This farm
er said help was 80 scarce in Stoddard
county at the present time thai the
farmers were compelled to outbid COM
mArcial enterprises in order to get
the help. ...
Leo Meyer and his family living on
South Sprigg street, will leave Sunday
for Helix, Montana to work on
farm. He told his friends he was
offered $50 a month besides a home
and board for his family.

for dairy herds. They are purchased
from herds that are free from disease
and have been bred up for milk pro-
ductiOn,
The calves are of one of four lead
ing dairy breeds; viz. Holstein, Jer-
sey, Guernsey or Ayrshire. They will
be all of one breed, the selection of
which will depend upon the decision
OF the majority OF the members. The
calves are purchased between three
weeks to six weeks of age, each being
shipped by express in individual
crates. The cost usually runs up from
$40 to $25 per calf plus the express.
When the calves reach the age Of
fifteen or sixteen months provision is
made for bringing into the community
a pure bred sire of the same breed as
the heifer calves. This, of course, Is
done to eliminate any crossing of
breeds which would be of detriment
rather than benefit to the community
1t is readily seen that the advan-
tages Of the Dairy Calf Club are many
In the first place, it interests the boy
and girl in better livestock and the

them a little business training and a.
feeling that they are doing something.
for themselves. 1t also brings into
the community very high grade of
dairy stock which is badly needed in
the average community
This type Of club has been giving
great results and arousing much in
terest. It is practical, there is no
chance to lose, for the boys and girls
are entirely protected from loss, and
it arouses the interest of the farm boy
and girl in the dairy COW and her pos
sibilities.
Such calf club would do wonders
for the boys and girls of this COM
munity. Is it not worth considera-
ton?

Camel Driver an lshmaeIite,

In China camel drivers are Ishmael-
ties who have little or nothing to do
with their fellows. Through the
twelve months of the year they live
and sleep in the open and in this life
they acquire brown skins, bulk of mus
Gle and sinew and taciturnity which
rcpels advances. Nine months Of the
year they are on the road, following
the long, faint trails that lead to such
places as Urga, Uliassutai, Kuchen-
gize, Karkul, Shining and Daugar. They
never sleep under roofs, but carry
their own tents and bedding, food and
utensils and camp wherever there lie
free grazing.

Criterion.

A criterion is of an abstract nature
and cannot properly be applied to. a
person. 1t Is standard of Judging or
a rule or test by which facts, principles
and opinions are tried in forming a
correct judgment. A person could not
serve as a criterion because of the va
riatiOns in human conduct. The Cri-
terion is always something which he
mains stable, thereby permitting other
matters of a more or less uncertain ma
ture to be tested by comparison with It,
as, for example, one might say, Paris Is

a beautiful vibrant tone somewhat like
that OF the harp. But its size and
completely were against it. 1t had q
long tail and many strings, and while
its size increased It's power and range,
1t also increased its weight and made

UP IN Businesses
OF SOUTHERN ROCKIES
Largest Existing Colony of Beavers Is
There.

Largest Existing Colony of Beavers Is
There.
Far up in the Businesses of the
southern Rockies, hidden in one Of the
most inaccessible hooks that remain
in this country today, what IS probably
the largest existing colony of beavers
has established itself for last stand.
The beaver was once one of the
most abundant of our American ami
mails, but at the ease with which he
was trapped and the value Of his fur
soon drove him far on the road to ex-
tinction Soon only the most strin-
gent legislation was able to save him.,
but now he seems to be coming
back" and wherever he finds favor
able location he increases rapidly.
There is no better place in the
world to study the interesting habits
of this little animal than in that little
hidden mountain valley just south of
the Colorado line, which the Mexicans
have christened 'Lagunitas" and the
Americans call Beaver Lakes"
The valley nestles against the very
backbone of the continental divide, 10
900 feet above sea level, and from ev-
cry side it is approachable only by
long and toilsome forest travel, except
in winter, when it is not approachable
at all. The hollow in the mountains
crest is dotted with irregular rows and
miniature ranges of hills, two and
three hundred feet high, that make up
a most bewildering topography.
In among these hills the beavers
have built them a city. The landscape
is ideal for the building Of their dams,
and by throwing barriers of stick and
mud from hillside to hillside they have
created a dozen big lakes, some Of
them half mile long. Along the
shores of these lakes are built the
beaver lodges. There are probably a
thousand beavers in this community,
reigning in undisputed supremacy
over their mountain domain.
They are shy brutes, but-very early
in the morning and just at sunset you
can often surprise them cutting the
quaking aspen on the bank with their
chisel teeth, or plastering away indus
triously at one of their elaborate
dams.
