FEAR OF LESS FOOD PRO-
DUCTION is NEED FOR
BUILDING GOOD ROADS.

In view OF the need that our food
production shall be kept up to max
imum there is no room to question
the importance of the use of a labor
saving device indicated by the fore
going figures Whoever believes that
agriculture got along without tractors
for a good many years and can get
along without them for while longer
may prohtably consider the farm
labor situation in this country. which
is so serious today that the Depart
ment of Agriculture warns of an inn
pending decrease in food production.
The movement OF workers from farms
to the cities, it says, is more pro-
nounced than in the early days OF the
war The number of hired men in
New York State decreased II per
cent last year Talk of mammouth
union OF farm laborers is banded "a
bout, and wages Increased by Is to
Is per cent during 1919, making them
so per cent higher than before the
war, while the Department estimates
that another - per cent increase will
be recorded in 1920. At the same time
the cost OF farm equipment and sup
plies has gone up
Wage increases have not been out
of proportion to the rise in value OF
farm products, but the shortage OF
workers is another question entirely.
Says the Department:
Numerous letters from field workers
or farmers indicate widespread dis
position to cut down planting so that
the work OF cultivating can be at
tended ~ hy the farmer him self Or
by members of his family
Labor saving devices and scienti-
fcally intensified production give the
only answer. The great progress that
civilization has made in rendering the
land subservient to the needs OF man
have received tremendous accelera-
ton from machines and scientific dis
coveries in the past and every en-
enlargement must be given to expert.
mcnt and research in the present.
That is why increased use OF tractors
and motor trucks and increased
building OF good roads deserve every
propulsion which alert merchandising
and propaganda can give.
That is also why an excess OF
economy by congress in cutting APP
preparations to the Department OF
Agriculture at this time is penny wise
and pound foolish, +. T Meredith,
the new secretary, in his first public
utterance after assuming Office, had
TO confess that he couldn't tell cotton
growers how to fight the boil weevil
because he didn't have enough money
TO disseminate the information.-Alan

AN UNNAMED STATION

II was late afternoon, at the hour
when business men and belated shop.
| pers as we'll as the motley crowd OF
toilers seek their homes, and the
suburban car was filed to its utmost
capacity. Sitting side by side in one
corner were stout, overdressed wo-
man and very little boy. The woman
had so often endeavored to obey the
harassed conductors adjuration to
sit close" that her voluminous skirts
quite overspread- the childs dangling
legs and feet, leaving visible little
more than small, patient face set
around by fringe of copied yellow
curls and lighted by pair of large,
serious blue eyes. One could but
wonder that the woman seemed to
give him no attention He must have
been tired with the long noisy ride.
Why did she not take him on her lap
and cushion his head upon her ample
shoulder?
Singly or in groups the passeng-
ers began to leave the car at the
various street crossings, until there
was left, besides the woman and child,
only young woman in black, with
beautiful sad face At length the
stout woman pressed the signal but
ton, and the car came to a stop. Half
way to the door. she heard the con-
ductor calling after her: Lady, YOU
We forgotten your boy"
MY boy! What cher meani I've
got no boyW
The man stared. Whose is he,
then? He's been on along with you
ever since we left the car barn. Looks
to me as if you meant to shake him."

The man gazed about him helpless
ly.
What dye know about that?" he
muttered. Then, with queer catch
in his throat: I'm sorry, kiddie, but
heaven is not on our line"
There was rustic of garments,
soft breathless rush, and the woman
in black had the child in her arms.
Tell me all about it, darling. What is
your name, and where do you live? ?"
My name used to be Dickie, but
it's Fifty-Seven now, and live at the

VANISHING VALUES.

The thing we call a copper
Is in numismatics proper,
But it sure has come cropper
In the shop;
And the nicke's sway is broken
AS a monetary token,
And in fact the dime is spoken
As OF slop.
So in course of time the holler
That is put up by the dollar
Will sink far below the collar
That it wears;
And asylums we contract with
Will be filled full, for a fact, with
Or in other words be cracked with
Millionaires.

THE PENCIL.

When | awake on mornings fair
| see upon my wall
A slender golden pencil on
The flowery paper scrawl.
No hand upon it guides the point,
1t moves mysteriously,
But what it writes in lines of light
Is very plain to me.
I'm sleepy vet, I'd like to take
Another nap, but no!
/ tumble out of bed and off
To catch the train ! go.
That pencil is a ray of sun,
1t will not let me shirk
Ny daily task but writes each morn.
Get up and go to work"
