Chilicothe. Mo-, July 24.-The
country hamlets are factor in the
farm labor problem--the cities and
expanding industries have not been
the only drain on the supply of ag-
ricultural workers AS one journeys
through the countryside he cannot
fail to be impressed by the idlers in
the villages.
They are not all that way, to be
sure, for some of the country towns
are dead as the grave all day with
only a few venerable sires puttering
around the streets until nightfall,
when the autos come roaring down
the pike with loads of workers seek
ing an hour of recreation, but many
OF them present the spectacle of Loaf
ers Willing the precious hours away
on the grocery store benches and OF
numbers of husky looking young fell
lows dishing up ice cream or labor
ing with the soda fountain spigots.
In the restaurants in cities along
the route it has been quite usual
thing to see from four to eight strap
ping young men waiting table, pre-.
ferring to work as servants instead
of producers. From $40 to $50 a
month and "chuck" is not unusual
pay even for dishwashers.
Pool Rooms Popular.
Meanwhile the pool room has not

On the road from Keokuk to Han

At Lima, ILL.,, three ancients sat
outside the hamlet grocery store.
The factories in the cities are to
blame, by heck" they attested.
They still cling to the by heck
habit along here, yet few doors
away were eight young men in jump
ers doing fine job of loafing. A
short distance up the road glimpse
into a wayside barn resulted in see
ing six men playing checkers at $3.50
in the afternoon. Sure" they
cheered, "the labor shortage has
raised hob around here. The auto
factories are to blame; they stole
too many workers.

Coming out of Hannibal. Mo, the
pilgrimage went IS miles through a
rough and fertile region without see
ing human being in the fields. The
explanation was that the farmers
along that particular stretch had
gone to other farms over the hill
sides, away from the road, for
throughout this section the labor
shortage has led the farmers to club
together more closely to get the
work done, and they are managing
fine.
Threshing machines appeared
every once in a while, and generally
one found from three to five family
units doing the work. But in the
villages again one saw the idle men,
