1t is interesting to hear of the king

Queen Victoria felt very strongly is
hereditary. She made collections of
Stuart souvenirs, hated Queen Eliza

PRICE OF PRODUCTS
AND FARM .LABORERS
Bureau of Crop Estimates Makes
Interesting Comparison.
Wage Rates Have Not Kept Pace With
Advance of Farm Products During
War-Began to Converge Dur
Ing Year of 1918.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
A composite crop and live stock
price has been provided by the bureau
of crop estimates, United States de-
partment Of agriculture, and the ad-
vance of this price since 1914, or the
beginning of the war, may be COM
pared with the advance in the wage
rates paid for farm labor. From 1914
to 1915 wage rates gained 1 per cent
and the price of crops fell 3 per cent,
but since 1915 wage rates have not
gained on 1914 as much as the price
of crops and live stock has. The adj
vance in wages in 1915 was 10 per
cent above 1914, while the price of
crops and live stock advanced IL per
cent. In the next year, 1917. wages
rose % per cent above 1914. while the
price of crops and live stock rose "A
per cent, but in 1913 the disparity be-
tween the two in the advance was
slightly reduced and the gain Of wages
over 1914 was 65 per cent and OF price
Of crops and live stock 90 per cent.
It is well known that wage rates are
more stable than prices, as a general
fact, and It is according to rule that
the wage rates Of farm labor have not
kept pace with the advance Of prices
Of farm products during the war, even
though much labor was drawn from
the farm by higher wage rates else
where. The two movements began to
converge in 1913 and their places with
regard to each other In more normal
times to follow remain for the future
to determine.

He colterded that acceptance or the American view concerning the neu- trSlization of Dalmatia would have left to Jugo-Slavia, sebenico and Cattaro, two of the most powerful military ports in the Adrlatlc. without any serious guarantee for the safety of the Italian coasts.
 That, said signor Scialoia, was the situation when he assumed direction ot the Italian. peace delegation. Moreover, there was crisis in the supreme coun- cil owing to tl.e action of the United States Senate. and the departure of the American delegation.

 Before smashing the machinery some of the men entered the editorial room and over-awed the staff at work there with revolvers. When leaving they said, you can consider yourself suppressed for some time"
 The incident Is attributed to unfriend1y comment on the Sim Fein movement by the Independent
