SHOE WORKERS
 GET SMOKE TIME

Marlboro, Mass, April 26.-Smok- ing and chatting periods have been introduced at a local shoe factory in an effort to increase efficiency. Sev- eral ideas eliminating unnecessary processes have been adopted and other suggestions aimed at time-sav- ing are being tried out
 Some of the operatives, it is said, did not take kindly to the experi- ments and were wondering dubiously what the next attempt of the man agement to obtain a shortcut to pro- duction would be. It came in un- expected form and the employees are now discussing the latest idea over their pipes and their knitting Ion the company's time.
 Their speculation over the next ef- ficiency plan was answered by the following announcement: Production must be increased Quality must be improved. Beginning tomorrow, op- erations will be suspended twice daily to allow operatives to rest.''
 During these periods, which begin at 10 in the morning, and in the afternoon. the power of the plant is shut off and the wheels are stopped while the men smoke and the wo- men chat or knit Then the wllir1 of the machinery begins again an6 the workers return to their task o1 making shoes.

FARMS ARE IN
 GREAT DEMAND

Despite circumstantia1 reports to the effect that there is a pronounced movement away from the farm, parti- cularly in New York state, the B. A. Strout Farm Agency reports that not in twenty years has there been such activity in the country real estate market The present demand for farms, says the report given out by the agency which has more than $50 branches throughout forty states, is practically twice as strong as that of last year and last years movements of farm buyers established a record far greater than in any preceding year.
 The demand for eastern farms is particularly strong throughout that portion of the central west where land values shot upward in an un- precendented way during last year as | a. result of what at the time was be- 1 lfeved to be an orgy of speculation. \ Hundreds of farmers in those states
 wha sold out at tfboom'' prices are usiIfg ! small fraction of the pro- ceedS D buy well-located, productive l farms ! New York, Pennsylvania, New Egland and other states at l what thy regard as ridiculously low l prices.
 l1l6T C6HlFdI west farmers | are takig up comparatively low [ priced, iproved lands in the South, , particulay in the Black Soil Belt, ) which rus through central western Alabama.nd northeastern Mississippi !, | and in u Yazoo Valley with it's rich l alluvia1 il deposits.
 9 At theame time, there is a marked e mWenet from the central west and the nortwest into Michigan, Wiscon- sin and Ohio, while the sale of i'm preed farms in the very heart of e thebtom section of Illinois and
 low continues in spite of the tre- = me4ous advance in prices. Ding the past winter and con- u t1nug through the spring, there has
 beer real rush of farm buyers from | ! all stions of the country to Flor !, ida d present indications are thas Y it Wlcontinue through the summer. o The hnber of sales being made in . F1or1o shows fully as great an in 70 creases in any of the northern or
 wester states. These sales include :. quite anany general farms of con- u siderab acreage as of citrus groves
 and trt farms of comparatively
 small aeage.
 In ia the present extreme ac-
 tiv1ty 1sot confined to any single
 section cthe country. Everywhere
 the dema appears to be increasing Iz and all isent indications are that "a it will cqnue for a long time to

HOW DO 4Ds FIND THEIR WAY?

The mosnteresting phase of the movement animals from place to place is fou in the flight of birds during the ing and fall. In the spring the As come north and in the fall they, south. This is called migration" I the reason given for the ability of ne birds to come back every year to id a nest in the same tree is usuall1ttributed to the "in- stinct of mig1on," and yet that is more a staten of fact rather than an explanation the wonderful abiI- ity of the birds do this.
