Speaking about the high price

cost one Tom Henry, erstwhile

short encore Saturday night at the
Coliseum in Davenport.
Tom was preparing to depart and
had secured his overcoat and hat
from the check room. But the
young lady just wanted to dance
one more, and-well, Tom is an
obliging fellow. He laid his ap-
parel in a seat and glided forth
onto the floor, blissfully happy.
The dance over, he tripped light

Back to the Farm.

1t is . hopeful sign when workers begin
turning from the city back to the farm.
as they are now doing to limited extent in
some of the larger centers Of the country. In
spite of high wages in the city it seems to be
dawning upon q few that they can actually
save more in the country, though drawing con-
siderably less in actual cash. Expenses in the
city, including board. lodging, laundry. car
fare, etc, frequently run as high as $50 per
month for an individual, and that knocks
big hole even in $3.50 per month income. The
Illinois Agricultural association has had
farm labor bureau in operation in Chicago for
two weeks and it has received 500 applications
for farm work and sent 100 men out to be
placed by county farm bureaus.
As start this does very we'll, but the
movement must be continued for months and
even for years and deal with thousands, in
stead of hundreds of men before anything
really important will be accomplished.
One great trouble is the applicants for the
most part are without farm experience. Fur
thermore they are not accustomed to the long,
irregular hours, and the hard work that is
demanded the farm The monotony of
country life is likely to pail upon them and in
a few days or at most weeks. many of them
probably will be found heading back for the
bright lights.
A few scattered converts to the back to the
soil movement will not make much difference
in the agricultural output of great state.
Farmers are not yet making extensive plans
based on use of city trained labor nor will they
do so till conditions are radically changed.
II the present disposition to consider agri-
cultural employment in preference to city jobs
is a sign of permanently changing conditions
ii will be cause for congratulation all around.

Aunt Priscilla took her place in

frown. The afternoon she had
spent in ironing the white muslin
dress for her musical niece, who

Yet after she had watched the

1t really seemed as though June

peared to be from the most exclu-

Aunt Priscilla sank lower into

and contrition, she obstinately re-

Defending the Shoe Trade.

The shoe trade wishes to have word SAID

the victim of an extensive propaganda, with
little chance for comeback except at space
rates Over-zealous legislators, seeking to
serve their constituents making it no end
OF trouble by advocating regulations which 1t
is claimed often would defeat their avowed
purpose Those who make and deal in foot
wear resent the inference that they are more
avaricious, less scrupulous and need closer
watching than people engaged in other lines
OF business.

role OF spokesman for the trade vigorously
denounces a number of legislative expedients
offered in different states recently. 1t claims

facturers' cost upon footwear offered at retail

recent issue the McNary bill before congress

Prot Felix Frankfurter Of Harvard is
quoted as saying before the Amalgamate.
Clothing Workers: I'VE want more goods and
want to work less for them" No doubt of
It. That's what most of this trouble is about,
but it does not follow that We are going to get
more goods by working less. Neither is it GER
tain that everybody would be more contented
and better off. physically and morally, if they
worked less. Professor Felix. like many other
underpaid educators now engaged in molding
the young minds of this country, probably is
laboring under an obsession induced by his
own hard lot.
