during 1920, so as to know the num-

There will doubtless be people engag-
ed in-farming in 1921 who were not
so engaged in 1920. A person who
operated ten plows in 1920 might
increase to fifteen in 1921. These are
only some of the questions to be con-
sidered in preparing an Act of the
character under consideration. What
ever plan you adopt in carrying out
your purpose, you must, in my opin-
ion, in the last analysis depend upon
the good faith of the individual far
mer, or else some means of making a
survey as already indicated will be
necessary. 1t is necessary also that
any legislation of a remedial charac-

F1tzhugh began to fret and fume at
his II ksome employment. He was
coming to believe he had made a mis-
take 10 adopting such slow means to
an ca gerly desired end. when, in tie
NTH week. something occurred that
dispel ed his growing pessimism. 1t
was warm Saturday night, and
when he came from the brolins
kitchen with his coat under his arm,
dripping with perspiration, his EN-
ployer met him and handed him eight
dollars, five of which he promptly
placed between the leaves of his saw
ings handbook, which now showed
balance of twenty dollars.
AS he nodded goodnight to his EN-
ployer he noticed Ratchet faced man
In a checker-board suit on one of the
lunch counter stools. Before Fitzhugh
reached Van Buren, street this man
confronted him and, smiling as cor
daily as his hard face would permit,
asked:
"Ho W. much does the Greek pay
your"
"Acc ording to my desert, my solicit

airy Of eight dollars each week"
The questioner pushed back his hat
and chewed his cigar. And his head
bobbed up and down as he scanned the

cided. Come long to the next block
Got spme'in' | want to show you"
He led the way up State street, and
near Jackson boulevard stopped be-
fore q gold-and-white restaurant, gilt
tering with electric lights, brand new
and spick and span, Across the plate
glass window in letters three feet high
was the name, "Max's."
See that? That's me. I'm Max"
He tapped his chest proudly. you've
got to make that name famous. I'm
derstand me? Famous, Come, Come
long inside and I'll tell you all bout
it"
They went in, and Mr.. Max outlined
his plan. Briefly, it was this: Fitz-
hugh, after visit to q barber, was to
appare eel himself in distinguished garb.
and with an arstocratic demeanor,
was to promenade State street for five
hours daily. Painted In white letters
on the back of his frock-coat would

drawing refiectively on his cigar How
much do l get for this?"

Not favorably. Make it thirty and
the deals closed" And even as he
spoke Fitzhugh was wondering II his
beard sufficiently disguised him. He
decided 1t did. Besides, there were
the theatrical possibilities OF the
thing, and this appealed strongly to
his love for make-believe.
After some further bargaining il was
agreed he was to receive twenty dollars
