NEARLY 1Os YEARS OF AGE
Boston Transcript.

Mrs. Mary Goddard, the oldest per-
son in Maine, and the oldest Quaker
preacher in the world. died in Bruins
wick, Maine She would have been 1O9
years old had she lived until March
10. Mrs. Goddard apparently had
been enjoying good health, this win
ter, but on Monday she contracted a
cold and began to fail rapidly. She
was a minister in the Friends church
and preached every Sunday at the
Friends meeting house in Durham,
Maine, until she was ga years old.
She last attended church when she
was 103.
She was born in South Durham, on
March 10, 1910, and her maiden name
was Mary Douglass. When she was
Is she became tailor's apprentice,
and after preliminary service began
to earn her living by sewing. When
she was 26 she moved to Portland,
and from there went to Parsonfield, to
live in the family of her married sis
ter. After the death of this sister,
Miss Douglass married Mark Knight,
hfr sisters husband. Mr.. Knight died
within six months. His widow, as
stepmother, continued to care for her
sisters children until nine years Ia
ter, when she married Robert God
dard of Brunswick Whpn she was &c
her second husband died, and since
then, as her family had gone out into
the world, the old lady had devoted
herself to her church interests, living
among her stepchildren, nie9D and
nephews. ~

corporation securities; tho rest were
governmental obligations. Great Bri-
tain was our largest debtor, with 81,
429 ,423, 900, France next with $2,705,-
100000, Italy next with 81 ,051 100000
and Canada next with 1882, 663, 955.
Russia, at present doubtful creditor,
owed US $272, 1915
This is a revolution indeed. 1t
means that we cannot again look for
the old favorable balance of trade"
because to collect our interest-which
must be paid in goods since there is
not gold enough to pay it and we
would not want it if tire were-we
must take goods, which involves i'm
porting more than we export. 1t
means that Europe will be so busy
with its own affairs and it's debts to
us that it will no longer be able to
finance our railroad and industries out
of its savings. That means that we
must learn thrift so that the Ameri-
can people can save their own capital.
Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps have taught the lesson, if we
are intelligent enough to make the les
son stick. &

DAYS PAY AND DAYS WORK.

It seems generally taken for grant
ed that wages are not to go down, at
least not until the cost of living has
beer educed very materially.
An encouragingly large proper
tio,1 of large employers are on record
as to that. An encouragingly large
proportion of employers admit freely
that wages before the war not high
enough, and that wages ought to go
back to the old level.
That does not mean that it the cost
of living is materially cut some abnor-
Tnally high wages will not be reduced.
If, hereafter, wages are kept in de-
cent relation to the cost of living, SO
that in times of high prices as well as
in times Of low prices labor can win
enough by its toll to live decently and
have a decent margin for decent citi-
zenship on an American scale, justice
viii be done.
AS well paid labor is q. good buyer
and poorly paid labor is q poor buyer
everybody interested In good business
0ughf toe i, Interested in good wages.
But tn is another side to the ques-
ton, and that re- stes to what the en-
ployer gets for n good wages,
The hardest obstacle to be contended
with by those who favor liberal wages
is the charge that the more labor gets,
the less it works; that the higher the
pay. the smaller the return in produc-
tion. Though there is not anywhere
near so much in this as some would
have us believe, there is only too much
in it. And it is in labor's best in
terest that every possible effort be
made to destroy whatever vestige OF
truth there may be in that charge.
Labor is entitled to good pay for
decent days work But the man who
pays wages is entitled to full, honest
days work in return. That is state
ment of equity that there is no answer
to. The worker who skimps his days
work is no better friend to the couse
of labor than the employer who drives
his workers and strives to get out of
them more than no pays for.
A Pittsburg dispatch in the New
York Evening Post, speaking of wag
es in the steel mills, says:
While it is commonly intimated in
the steel trade that the policy against
wage reductions originated with the
government, it is frankly admitted
that if so the government merely in

terpreted the circumstances, which
make wage reductions on a broad
scale a thing not to be considered. !.
Nearly all producers, however, feel
that labor performance has greatly
/ decreased, and they do not see why,
with such high wages ruling, men
should not do as big a days work as
formerly. There is no ban on seeking
a days labor for days pay, ond all
employers intend to watch their labor
forces carefully, eliminating the slack
ers and giving employment to appH-
cants who appear DESTROYS OF work
ing. =,
There can be no argument that will
stand against that intention.
The employer must grant as high a
wage as his industry will allow; ond
it must be wage proportional to the
scale of living, and large enough TO
provide for the worker and his family
a decent living on scale fitted to
America scale with America need
not be ashamed to call an American
scale of living.
But for that wage every worker, IN
common honesty, must return an hon
est days work; for the worker who
cheats his employer by deliberately
skipping his work is precisely on a
par with the employer who cheats his
labor by exacting from it more than
he pays for.
If the employer keeps wages up, but
weeds out those workers whose labor
performance falls below an honest
standard, he will be quite within his
rights. and every honest friend of Ia
Dor will cheerfully admit it.

THE PEOPLE.

Wall Street publication prints reso-
lutions against government ownership
or railroads adopted by two organiza-
r. rs. and over it puts this heading;
"The People Speak"
The organizations through whom
"the people" have spoken are the San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce and
ri Yellow Pine Wholesalers associ-
alton.
1t was important to know what the
people think of this question, and un-
doubtedly the publication will be
grateful to this Wall Street publica-
ton for giving it, from such unques-
tionable sources, the peoples judg-
ment.

Big Stock of Wheat Found In Survey
Made Jan. 1, Other Foods Are Shown

Commercial stocks of wheat reported
in survey made by the Department
OF Agriculture for January /, 1919,
amounted to 191, TITS, Alt bushels. These
holdings, reported by 9,3O3 firms
elevators, warehouses, grain mills,
and wholesale dealers were more
than twice as large as the stock held
by the same firms year earlier, the
actual percentage being 215.8 per cent
of the 1913 stock. The figures refer
to stocks actually reported, and do
not represent the total commercial
stock of the county, nor do they in
clude stocks on farms.
Visible Supply Figures Compared
The commercial visible supply fl
cures, as published by the Chicago
Board of Trade for the nearest date
December %, 1879 show III, 225, 900
bushels of wheat, as against 1888, 900
bushels year ago. Corresponding
figures for January A, 1919, show l29,
627. 900 bushels as against 26,476,OO0
bushels for 1918. AS compared with
the same date of last year, these fl
cures, as well as thosto obtained by
the more extensive survey, show a
very great relative increase in COM
mercial stock of wheat on January l,
1919.
Other Cereals, Flour, and Corn Meal.
The commercial stocks of other GER
eals reported for January /, 1919, &C

Reconstructing the Wounded.

Our Government will do three things
for disabled men, First, it will pay
them a monthly compensation as long
as the disability lasts. The amount
of this is based on the average loss of
earning power for similar cases of
disability in civil life. For example,
if soldier has lost leg, the Govern
ment figures out how much less can
be earned by men in industry if they
have lost leg. Second, the Govern
ment will keep a disabled man in the
hospital, like that at Fort Smelling,
until he has been built up physically,
and equipped if necessary with arti-
fetal limbs. This is at Government
expense, and the United States will
keap his artificial limb in repair for
the rest of his life. Modern medical
skill is doing wonderful things in the
reconstruction of wounded men. With
artificial arms, they can do farm work
run lather in machine shop, or. play
base ball
The soldier in the hospital is still a
soldier, receiving Government pay,
and the allotment and allowance to his
family go on as before. After he is
discharged from the hospital he may,
if he chooses, be trained at Govern
ment expense for new vocation. This
is the third thing which the nation will
do for its wounded. Men already dis
charged from the army or navy may
apply for compensation, if their earn
ing power has been reduced one-tenth
by sickness or wounds in the service.
The Government may require such
men to take hospital training, or for
felt their right to compensation. The
award of compensation opens the way
for vocation training.

 In reply to a question by Moore .& Scott, shipbuiiders, as to his price for the invention, he said :1,o60, GOO They admitted that ;ha, would not be an unreasonable price if it would W .rk, and they suggested that he make a demonstration of it. He said that if he lad money enough to make the demor- stration he would not worry about the invention.
 He was asked to cal! the next iay. and did so. He was told that the firm was willing to undertake the ex- pertinent. They will equip an old scow with the device and sinh it at sea. MT Bennett was asked 10 .nt. such patterns as he may have for the various parts of the device to San Francisco, where the castings wiH be lads. Patterns for other parts will be supplied The patterns cn hand will be shipped at once. and Il is bought that the trial will be made some time next month.
