ishing the work in this county. I
understand that it would have cost
the county only $3.50 a year to have
kept the work going, and certainly
an agent who would not have been
worth that much to the county would
be very sorry man indeed.
First and foremost, the demon
tration work is educational in it's
scope and like any other educational
work, its value is hard to estimate
in dollars and cents. The purpose of

practical instruction in agriculture
and home economics. The agents.

selves with the needs of the people
ard carry to the farmers the latest
a. 4" hest information regarding the
problems that confront them. The
work also involves work among the
boys and girls and. to my mind. this
Is very important because the club
work in which they are engaged will
do more to keep them on the farm
than anything else that has ever been
tried.
Companionship, good times. and
the chance to make money are the
three things that a country boy or
girl looks forward to finding in a
city. They find all these and more
in the club work. Georgia has 5000
boys in pig clubs and they raised
over one-half million dollars worth
of pork last year. ] could name
scores of instances where the work
pays handsomely in financial way

WITH THE EDITORS
THE PROBLEM OF WAGES

= The Seattle sympathetic strike grew out of a
strike in the extensive shipbuding yards of the
city. Some of the features of the demands made
for the workers in the shipyards-whch have not
been granted-are interesting for the light they
throw on some of the general labor problems of the
country.
A week of forty-four hours is asked for, with
double time for overtime. There is to be fifteen
days vacation with pay, every year. Laborers and
watchmen ask for $3.50 day, with skilled labor
correspondingly higher.
Nobody can fail to have sympathy with the at
tempt Of men to better themselves. The COM
munity and nation are better off with wages as
high o business will stand. But, of course, there
il limit to what business will stand, and the ques-
ton q where that limit comes.
In this respect the worker is in the same boat
with his employer. The employer may be making
biscuit. He naturally desires to make IS large 8
profit as he can. But he finds there il a point
Esyond which he cannot 60. # he increases hi

falls off, #tfN ~
So, if the employee asks for too high wages, the
price of the product may be forced above what the
market will stand. In the of the shipbuilders
for instance, the government Emergency Fleet
corporation takes the position that, if the cost OF
ships gets too high it will be impossible to operate
them successfully. That is the reason it cannot
countenance the latest demands from the ship
yards.
OF course, all this is elementary. Every intelli-
gent trades union man recognizes the situation and
intends to ask only what is reasonable The trouble
is that at the end of an extraordinary time, like
that of the war, there is temptation to press for
more than is possible
1t is up to all hands to take great care to be
cautious and reasonable in considering the labor
problems now coming up. Employers are bound
to consider the difficult living conditions under
present high prices, and employees to take into &C
count the difficulty Of keeping business going with
high prices of material increased freight rates and
huge freight rates.
1t is commonplace merely to urge spirit OF
cancellation and reasonabeness in meeting the
situation But after all, that is the only way in
which the industrial life Of America can get back
to normal and sound basis.-Kansas City Star.
