FILLED WITH WISDOM.

1t is refreshing, in the midst of the onward rush
Of today for wealth. at the expense of national
ideals, to find nationally prominent business man
who has the courage to "speak right out in meet
ing" and as a warning voice in a wilderness, tell
his fellow men what he honestly believes is neces-
sary to ward off the crash that inevitably will come
if present greed and selfshness is not checked. =
Roger W. Babson who has made a life study of
economic problems and has gathered innumerable
results in the form of statistics from many lines
Of industry, brought about by different methods of
operation, says this: $500 ~
1T seems to me that the only cure, the only thing
that will stave of the crash will be some sort Of
religious revival that will get men into different
point of view. We must have something that will
make men substitute faith for fear production for
selfshness; something whereby our minds may be.
focused upon making things instead Of upon di-
vision of things. The great need Of the hour is
more religion, more emphasis service, more
making rather than on purchasing, more on being
rather than simply getting by. =. - -:

TIRED OF EXORB|TANT
INDIFFERENT LABOR
If Cutting Machines Will Not

Fields in Pasture.
Special Correspondence OF Every Evening

special tOfrtspoDuencS OF t1VtFy 6NtntnS
Chestertown, Md, Sept. 23.-John
Schauber is delivering large numbers of
corn-cutters to the farmers throughout
the country, in order TO combat the high
cost Of labor, which amounts TO 81 and S5
day and board to cut off the corn. The
stalks are in better condition TO he cut
with the cutter this year than for many
years, as there have been no heavy winds
to blow them down.
If corn sells for less than dollar a
bushel it is believed many farmers having
lowland tillages viii 90 heavily in debt on
account of the high cost OF harvesting the
crop, and the outcome of the matter may
be that farmers will greatly cIirtail their
tillages IN all crops next year until the cost
Of labor becomes normal.
One farmer was heard to remark hcre
other day that he did not propose to grow
crops at an expersc another year and he
would put his whole farm in grass and
depend upon his cows before he would be
worried with an inferior and very oxpen-
sive class Of labor. The usual profits of the
farmers here are eaten up by tho high cost
of labor, which refuses to render a just
service for tho amount of wages paid, and
the farmer has about reached the limit Of
his patience.
