Someone calls attention to the fact
that farm work Is skilled labor. 1t is
that. And the farmer is more of a
Jack Of all trades than any other, And
he is master of many. No wonder
the farm wages go up. The town work.
er is of little use on the farm. But
the farm worker can always make his
way in town.

The difficulties and objections are OF

court. There may be no shadow OF
ioubt that Jones stole Smiths goose,
and there may be no shadow Of doubt
about Smiths judicial integrity but
hese facts do not qualify smith to
sentence Jones To six months impris-
