ENEMY SPY WORKS
WITH TRIP HAMMER
IN S HIP PL A n T

Philadelphia. Jan. 21.-An interest
ing story of enemy spy work is told
by Frank H. Gaskill assistant chief
of the Protective league, which rem
dered service during the war.
The organization. Mr.. GaskiIl re-
lates, was responsible for the inter
ment of man caught spelling out
dangerous messages with a tripham-
mer he was operating in a big indus
trial plant on the Delaware river. The
messages were first detected by a
telegraph operator in Palmyra. N j.
He caught the hammer spelling out:
Troop ship moving tomorrow
morning.
The telegrapher notified the govern
ment authorities who caught the trip
hammer operator signalling:
Raid on fishing fleet complete sur
prise
This was several hours before the
news dispatches brought word of the
sinking of a fishing fleet by German
submarines off New England The
triphammer expert was found to be
former telegraph operator. Mr..
Gaskill said the mystery of where the
operator got his news or to whom he
was signalling was never solved.

FEET AND THE MOVIES.

How do you stand-squarely on
your feet, or in an unnatural and un-
healthful position? And what are
your shoes like? Are they clean
neat, suited to your occupation, with
even. respecting heels, or are
they dirty, in need Of backing, and
with heels run down? In short, are
you one of the great army to whom
the word "slip-shod" applies in all
its original meaning?
The moving pictures have been
telling tales. Pictures have been
made of individual feet, of feet in
hurrying crowds, Of feet standing
still and feet in motion The result
is said to be side plittingly funny
that the audience permitted to view
the films rocks with laughter and
wipes the tears from its eyes. But
also 1t cast surreptltious glances at
its own pedal extremities, and in
nine cases out Of ten draws them has
tily back under the seat.
Which is just as it should be- For
the pictures are not intended to be
merely mirth-provoking; they have
serious purpose that of making
people realize the effect upon the APP
pearance which comes from being
badly shod and the effect on bodily
health and grace of throwing the hn-
tire body out of plumb by wearing
heels which are rundown and I'M
even.

THE GERMAN AWAKENING.

The present Juror of grief, bitter
ness and recrimination in Germany
has one result, at least, which the
allied nations can view with relief
and satisfaction. 1t really seems to
be dawning on the German people at
last that they lost the war
Heretofore there has been hardly
sign that the general mass of Ger
mans realized their defeat. Their
army never admitted that it was
beaten. The soldiers were welcomed
home as conquerors. and willingly
fitted into that role. The leaders, of
course, knew the real situation. But
the nation as whole has either be-
lieved or pretended that Germany
stopped fighting Of her own free will.
Sooner or later the conclusion must
dawn on those Germans that they
had to quit fighting and now have
to accept whatever fate the Allies
impose simply because they were
everlastingly licked. That dawn is
breaking now.
1t will do Germany good, too. For
it may bring humility and repent
ance, and only thus can there be any
hope for the German national soul.

Editor Daily Droyers Telegram
What is the use Of asking the rail
road administration for harvest rates
to laborers to help the farmer? The
administration has given rates to all
health resorts and fishing points,
also to the seasides. These are more
important items and fine chance for
the people who do not want to work.
After the farmer has worked his
head off and his harvest has spoiled
because Of the scarcity of farm labor,
he can get tourist rate to pleas
ure resort and forget about his in
come tax. THE DEACON.
The railroad administration is to
be commended for Its ngheadedness
In regard to these rate problems.
First, for refusing cheap rates to the
harvest fields, thus making it ex-
tremely improbable that any laborer
will go except the fellow that wants
work and who will therefor be a good
worker.
Second, for putting in excursion
rates to summer resorts, thereby
making it possible for the farmer to
pay his fare to place of rest If
only he has anything left after be
phys the laborer.
If you reverse the thing and make
cheap rates to the harvest fields and
full rates to the rest cures, labor
would be so plentiful and so cheap
on the farms that the farmer and his
sons would sit back and take it easy
and have no excuse for going to the
resorts, which would be very. very
bad on the resorts.
1t is better as it is, Deacon

THE rARMER's VAR PROFITS.

DR. II. J.. Waters In Kansas City
Weekly Star. II costs more now to
raise crops and live stock and to live
on the farm than most people realize.
In recent study ~ the farmers war
profits, made by the United States
Department Of Agriculture, Il was
shown that w the first year OF the
war. 1918. the farmer received 3 per
cent less than the year before for
his crops aud live stock aud paid .
per cent more on the average for
50 common articles such as clothing,
lumber, implements. coal Kerosene
fertilizers and other farm and fam
ny supplies.
In 1915 the farmers crops and i've
stock advanced . per cent, while the
things ne bought advanced u per
cent. Thus IN the second year Of the
war the farmer sustained another
loss. IN 1917 the prices which the
farmer received for his products rose
~ per cent as compared with 1914,
while the articles he bought had
gained only 40 per cent. In 1918 the
farmer found himself almost exactly
where he started IN 1914 as far as
the relative price of the things he
bought and the things he sold are
concerned The advance In price
recorded In 1918 above 1914 was ~
per cent and the advance in the price
paid for common articles OF use was
90 per cent
II is true that this comparison
doesn't reveal the true status OF the
farmers business, since 1t includes
the principal items of income and
only part Of the elements OF cost.
Such items us interest local and
state taxes changed very little during
the war Land values and rents ad-
vanced during the war, although less
than most other items.
A recent survey by the Department
Of Agriculture shows that the wages I
paid on the farm advanced only 6S !
per cent In 1913, over 1914, as com !
pared with 90 per cent advance for
The articles the farmer sold. No es- (
Inmates Of farm wages are available
for 1919, yet 1t is believed that there s
has been Il greater advance along this /
line this spring than in any other ele-
ment entering into production cost !
and that already parity has been es-
tablished between wages and crop {
and live stock values.
In some Of the manufacturing reg
ions of the East farms are reported
as remaining untitled this spring De I
cause the farmers cannot afford to
pay as high wages as the factory {
All this tends to show that while {
the farmer is sharing in the general
Of the country, as he
he is not rolling in wealth,
as many suppose, and as some farm |
ers appear to be allowing themselves
to believe.
In the readjustment Of prices
which is likely to begin soon, 1t is
probable that farmers prices for
crops and live stock will be among
the first to decline The farmer sells
at wholesale and buys at retail. II !
always takes time for decline in
wholesale prices to be reflected in
retail business.
While most epople believe that the
future is reasonably promising for
the farmer there is not profit enough
at hand or in prospect to justify the
indulgence in extravaganza or en-
tening into reckless speculation.
