GET OUT YOUR TAPER.
Silk Hat Revival is Making Great
Hit.

News from london that British hat
manufacturers are preparing on a large
scale to renew the manufacture OF silk
hats for men fails TO cause any great
excitement among Americans either
manufacturers or wearers. Apparent
ly American men have practically for
gotten that there is such an article, at
least in this sort of weather. AT any
rate they seem to feel that there are
already enough to 90 around.
The report from England is impor-
tant in one way. 1t is a sure sign that
so far as England is concerned the war
is over. For more than four years the
silk hat was as rare in London as 1t Is
IN Wall street. The British clerks, who
would as soon think of going to work
without silk hat as an American
would of lunch hour without cigar
cite, were wearing the service hat or
trench helmet of the British army and
the historic headpiece was confind prac-
tically to statesmen upon particularly
official occasions. If the British male
populace is again donning the mon
strosity it can mean nothing else than
peace OF a most peaceful variety.
But aside from that there have been
signs for the past 10 years i'll all the
capitals of the world that the silk hat
was losing the vogue it has had for the
past hundred years. Either is it that
men have been growing sensible enough
to discard the most uncomfortable

spreading wave of democracy has been
making itself subconscously felt by at
lacking the most conspicuous label ofthe
upper class" without their knowledge.
In America to-day the silk hat has
practically come to be regarded as an
extreme in dress. The comfortable and
generally more becoming fedora is worn
upon every possible occasion, and the
majority wear derby with irock
coat upon all except the most strictly
formal occasions. The silk hat is gen
orally confined to dandies, men who
write Hon before their names or
esq" after, and Tammany hall on
parade.
Dealers say the sale has fallen off to
almost nothing as though those al
ready in existence were handed down
from father to son or loaned and bor-
rowed among friends like suit case or
a mourning veil Some young men
still buy them to get married in and
conjurers still use them to pull rabbits
out of but otherwise they are not ex-
actlv objects either of art or utility.
They are rather durable articles in
spite OF the fact that at times they
closely resemble a drowned kitten. But
any halter can speedily restore them to
their pristine splendor at comparatively
small cost. New York Evening Sun

The Farmers Salary

The federal department OF agricul-
ture makes clear statement. which
should he pondered in industrial cen
tiers, when ii says its Investigations
show that the average profit of an
interest at per cent upon the invest

In other words. the farmers salary

the union Is, upon the average about
81 q week This does not indicate a
state OF hardship to the farmer who.
let us say. has $4,000 invested, owes
nothing and works his own land But
il shows why a little expansion of the
wages OF farm labor where two men or
more are employed upon wages. would
reduce the owners return upon his own
effort to a point below the wages of
his own farmhsnds II shows also that
farmer with $4,000 invested il he is

to adapt himself TO new duties, may see
greater opportunity in city, and why
the farmland is tempted to leave an
occupation of the road 10 proprietorship
il not a royal one, and in which the
proprietor does not earn large income.
II shows why a farmer with 200 acres
employed in extensive agriculture is in
clined to reduce tillage rather than feed
an extra team, house and pay an extra
man, competing for labor with indus
trial centers upon the basis Of wages
now paid.
The figures published by the depart
ment of agriculture are designed to
show that the farmer is not gouging
the consumer lnasmuch as the agri
cultural producer cannot tag his prod

in market over which he exercises no
