FARM WAGES HIGH: 49,.
WILL TEMPT LABOR

What farmers are willing to pay
for labor in Minnesota is being found
out by F.. L. French, secretary Of
the Minnesota Farm Bureau Fedora
tion. Through the county agents
Mr.. French is gathering statements
from farmers as to what they regard
fair wages. ~
Reports from 80 counties widely
distributed have been received.
These show that for general work by
the day farmers fix the wage on an
average at $3.15; for work by the
month for months, $3.50; for
work at haying by the day, $3.50;
shocking, $4.30; threshing, $4.35;
fall work, $685.; corn picking, per
'bushel, 8 cents; winter work per
month, $44. To these wages room
and board should be added. !
Labor is going to be tempted to
leave the city for the farm, thinks
Mr.. French, inasmuch as such wages
with room and board added give the
laborer more than he can earn, ac-
cording to the present scale in the
cities. .-..

Scutan, principal city Of Albania,
sccnically suggests Geneva, nesting
between the llmpid waters Of Lake
Scntari and the mountains of north
ern Albania, snow-capped for the
greater part of the year, rising to

Of being a city Of highly organized in

To reach Scutari from any Monte

Scutari, one boards "londra," the
sharp-pointed Prov and stern rising

propel it by short. quick Jerks, often
accompanying their strokes by a wild
barbaric chant. The gondola-like boats
on Lake Scutaria are accounted for
ny the Venetian influence that is EVIL

Scutari Is one Of the oldest cities in
Europe, having been the seat of the
1llyrian kings, ten centuries before
Christ, and as the descendants Of the

BLIGHT AND BUGS
MENACE APPLE TREES

Fire blight, which has again at
tackled apple trees in Minnesota in
serious way, finds helpful allies
among six or eight varieties of in
sects which inhabit orchards. The
insects spread the blight over trees
and carry it from tree to tree. The
blight itself can not be controlled by
the use of sprays but it can be check
ed by spraying for insects. A well
sprayed orchard, therefore, is less
likely to suffer seriously than an
unsprayed orchard After the blight
gets into tree. the only way to get
it out is by the use of the knife,
pruning shears, and saw and these in
strument should be strelized in a
solution of corrosive sublimate after
each cutting. Blighted twigs should
be cut six or more inches below
where the disease shows.

said lightly, but there was that in his

We advanced slowly toward the
low rustic pier where the canoes
were drawn up ready for embarking.
In each canoe stood man in woods
mems habiliments, evidently guides,
and my fears for the safety of the
expedition suddenly fled as l noted
the air of absolute efficiency which
radiated from each, and saw the lines
of the small craft they were to guide.

He's a fine old boy" Dicky as
sented enthusiast stically, and I drew
a breath of relief.
He evidently had no suspicion of
the real cause of my little panic, and
I studiously kept my eyes averted
from the man, the sight of whom
had caused it. But in my conscious
ness was ever the thought that the
guide in the boat next to ours was
the man named Tim, who had
brought me the message from Grace

Golf and Business,

Going the rounds is story to the
effect that an employer looking for
man for a responsible position
took the applicants who were golf
players to the links to try them
out.
The man who played a good game
only when he was in the lead
showed that he was not the man to
put up business fight if things
went against him for while.
When a man missed putt and
began to swear and cuss everyone
but himself he decided that that iel-
low would blame others for his mis-
takes in business.
The man who lied about the mum
Der of strokes he took to make a
hole would lie about his record to
make it look better.
The man who gave up trying to
get out of bunker and played his
ball lengthwise to the end of OBJ
struction would not stand up we'll un-
der adversely.
The man who gave up trying to
hold down the number of his shots
after getting a high score on two
or three holes would give up i'll the

But the man sufficiently master of
himself to keep smiling and trying.

stuck fast in his mouth. And all
the time Fatty was being dragged
along through the water. He began
to be frightened. And for the first
time he noticed that there was a
slender line which stretched from his
mouth straight across the pool. AS
he looked along the line Fatty saw a
man at the other end of it--a man,
standing on the other side of the
brook! And he was pulling Fatty
toward him as fast as he could.
Do you wonder that Fatty Coon
was frightened? He jumped back
as we'll as he could. in the water
and tried to swim away. His mouth
hurt; but he plunged and pulled just
the same, and jerked his head and
squirmed and wiggled and twisted.
And just as Fatty had almost given
up hope of getting free, the gay col
ored bug or fly, or whatever it was,
flew out of his mouth and took the
line with it. At least, that was what
Fatty Coon thought. And he swan
quickly to the bank and scampered
into the bushes.
Now, this was what really hap
pcned. Farmer Green had come up
the brook to catch trout. On the
end of his fish line he had tied a
make believe fly. with hook hid
den under its red and yellow wings.
He had stolen along the brook very
quietly, so that he wouldn't frighten
the fish. And he had made so lit
tie noise that Fatty Coon never
heard him at ALL Farmer Green had
not seen Fatty, crouched as he was
among the stones. And when Fatty
reached out and grabbed the make
believe fly Farmer Green was even
more surprised at what happened
than Fatty himself. If the fish hook
hadn't worked loose from Fattys
mouth Farmer Green would have
caught the queerest fish anybody
ever caught, almost.
Something seemed to amuse Farm
er Green, as he Mstched Fatty dive
into the bushes; and he laughed
loud and long. Bat Fatty Coon
