FARMERS INCOMES.

Some time ago we said that COM
parison of the incomes of the farmer
and the business man, when the CAPT
tai and labor expenses of each were
considered, would make more favor
able showing for the farmer than sup
posed; but we were unable to give any
definite statement regarding the size of
the income of either. An article in the
New England Homestead showing the
farm accounts of sixty-one farmers in
Sullivan county, New Hampshire, gives
very definite information on farm in
comes that should interest everyone
concerned with agricultural develop
ment.
The average capital invested in these
sixty-one farms was $6,175, average re-
ceipts, $2,6lG, average expenses, $l,54S,
five per cent interest on investment
sos, leaving an average net labor in
come of 500 per year. In addition to
this cash income these farmers had
house rent, fire wood, milk, butter
eggs, meat and vegetables, easily worth
from $500 to 5000. Add the average of
these two sums, $3.50, to the average re-
ceipts of these farmers and you have
So, 166 This mixes the gross income on
the $6.175 investment approximately
81 1-3 per cent, and the net income q
IA per cent. This was done with al
average expenditure of 1916 for labor.
The best paying farms in this mum.
Der made much greater earnings. The
fact that six out of the sixty-one farms
did not pay expenses shows that the
whole sixty-one quite accurately rep
resented farmers in general. We sub
nit that this is pretty good showing
for the farmers and substantiates oul
former statement that the average
farmer gets as good an income from
capital invested in a farm and equip
ment and amount of labor employed a:

stand until the business men are abb,

tistics concerning their business a

THE DAYLIGHT SAVING LAW.

The New York World has made q
canvass of the business interests of the
country and finds that ninety per cent
of firms and corporations employing
millions of men and women favor the
daylight saving law and an equal per-
centage of labor organizations also ia
vor it. The employers claim at least ten
per cent more efficiency working by
daylight; that it makes the operation
of machines more accurate and less
dangerous and that it saves 100000
tons of coal per year. City workers like
it because it gives them their leisure
hours at the end of the regular day s
work in lump, which is more enjoy
able than having it divided into night
and morning periods each SO short it
is of little use
These facts make it appear that the
President in vetoing the Agricultural
bill, to which the repeal of the daylight
saving law was attached as a rider, was
acting in accordance with the wishes of
the majority.

Gen. Wood Going Strong.
burlington News.1

Gen. Leonard Wood has never init
mated any inclination toward political
preferment, certainly he has never in
timated that he is or intends to be a
candidate for the Republican nomina
ton for the presidency, yet the fact
remains that he is seriously considered
by the rank and file of that party as a
presidential possibility.
In the straw vote being taken by
Leslie s magazine Gen. Wood is a very
strong first while straw votes taken by
other publications, in theatres and 9th.
er public places indicate the strength OF
General Wood.
There is no concerted movement be.
hind the Wood candidacy. None of the
Republican leaders, who might be ex
pected to give movement considerable
strength have evidenced any interest in
Gen. Wood while it is equally true that
they have shown no disposition to OPP
pose him in any way.
Here we have probably the most
spontaneous support of a man for al
office that has marked American poll
ties for a long time. 1t was confident
ly asserted that Gen. Wood would pres
emily lose his strength as possible can
didate but the truth of the matter
seems to be that he is actually grow

In the DAYS News

Owen Wister, who today enters up
on his sixtieth year, is one of the most
successful of presented day American
novelsts. He was born in Philadel,
rhia and is grandson of Fannie KEN
bic, the famous actress. 1t was ten
years or more after he had completed his
studies at Harvard before Mr.. Wister
turned to literature as a profession. In
the interval he had nursed an ambition
to become musical critic, and later
had turned to the law. actually engag-
ing IN the practice of that profession in
his native city. But several visits. in
the far west in search of health caused
him to change his plans. In 1891 he
wrote series of studies and stories of
western life for prominent maya.
zlne and they proved so successful that
he decided TO abandon the profession
of law for that. of litrature. With the
appearance of 1.-The Virginian. ?, which
is still considered the best thing that
he has done, Mr. Wister s reputation as
novelist became firmly established.
