Allison, Aug, l9.-One of the Great
Western mixed trains" was left near
the edge Of a town the other day while
the engine was taken back TO the stock
yards for u car of live stock. Passen-
gers looking out the windows Of the
coach saw a boy driving thru n nearby
field with a loaded manure spreader
and with scarcely an effort on his part
accomplishing what a strong man
would have considered hard labor I'M
der the conditions Of twenty years
ago. In another field a man with
tractor was blowing three burrows Mt
q time, concerning himself only with
some easily adjusted machinery and
getting the results that would have re-
qired three men and threee twO-horse
walking plows at a date CORRESPONDING

the car heard and recognized a whir-
ring noise that is fast becoming fam

He finished his meal. got up and walk
ed over to where a ing Of water sat
took a drink and was ready to 60 to
work, Before he went. however, he
explained that he was furnished with
an assistant who worked by the day
and as hours are the periods Of whic-
lays are composed this helper insists
On counting hours IN figuring up his
line. Elevator men have to take into
account their labor expenses these
days. the manager wants to make the
Institution pay and he sacrifices his
dinner hour in the cause. OF course
managers are no better than helpers so
far as eating from pals and drinking
from jugs are concerned. but then il
