The Farmer and the Auto.

The announcement is made that
many agricultural fairs next year
throughout the country will have their
automobile shows. This is significant,
as marking the passage of the motor
car from the luxury class into the
field of the necessities Time was
when the automobile was most unwel.
come to the farmer, who showed his
displeasure by deliberately placing OBJ
stacles, such as half sunken logs,
bumps in bridges, and the like, in the
path of the self-propelled vehicle. Now
the farmer finds the motor car, brought
down to a reasonable price by Ameri.
can methods of manufacture, is not a
thing to be despised. but something
rather to be owned In increasing nu-
mbers automobiles are found on the
farms and are classed as necessities.
1t has all come about in a very few
years-St. Adams Messenger.

January /, the date originally set,
have net indicated how the proclama-
ton will affect their plans. The only
wage demands now before Mr. Hines
are those of the 100000 shopmen, who
were refused general increase of 25
per cent hast summer President VIII
son and the director general taking
the position that the war cycle CT
advancing wages and increasing liv-
Ing costs must all come TO an end. and
the government be given a fair
chance TO compel q return to normal
profits President Jewell and the ex-
ecutive council OF the six shop crafts
recently renewed their demands. They
were asked to await an official report
by Attorney General Palmer since
made public. OF the trend of prices.
Mr.. Palmers report showed that the
customary upward march of prices
during the fall months had been much
less this year than in the past and
expressed the conviction that the
next two months would show sub.
stantial results in reducing the in
fation of living costs, The cost of
living question therefore. still is un-
settled in the minds OF high govern
mont officials and will not be settled
until after government control of the
rail system has expired. II remains
to be seen what view the President
and the director general will take Of
the shipments renewed demands for
more money in the light of the at
torney generals statement
1t is understood the shop workers
were represented to be growing rest
less over the lack of action on their
demands.
Demands of railroad clerks for more
money now are before the beard OF
railway wages and working condi-
lions. which has not indicated when
"a report to the director general may
be expected
Extension Of the time of federal
control will necessitate the placing of
additional contracts by the railroad
administration inasmuch as pur-
chases UP to this time generally have
been for delivery up to the end of the
year. Some rails and ties will have
to be bought. also other materials fer
maintenance work.

The Barton Monitor is unable to up,
derstand why SO few deer were killed
in Orleans county during the reccn,
season. Outside OF little Grand Isle
county Orleans had the lowest record.
in the number Of deer reported by
hunters. Perhaps a somewhat unusu-
al condition reported to have existed
in Orleans county during the past few
wears Is in measure responsible.
according to information that has slf;
ed its way through the state agricul-
tural department many Of the farms
lin Orleans have changed hands. The
properties have first found their way
into the hands of real estate agents
who proceeded to cut off all the
standing timber including the maple
sugar orchards. After the land had
been stripped of its trees the farms
have been sold to immigrants from
across the Canadian border. and ii IL
reported tnat the rehl estate d5eht
have realized as much for the proper
ties as they paid for them before the
timber was cut off. Naturally. lh>
numbering operations have SO changed
conditions that the deer seek sections
where there is more cover This ccN
clusion may not be correct hut Il mp
pears more or less probable. In a
few years the cleared land viii be
covered with sapAngs, unless put ~
der cultivation, and the deer viii bc
as plentiful in Orleans county as IN
the past. perhaps more so, as dee'
find young growth more to their liS.
