side II beginning to awaken to The
fact that no real prosperity has
come As the result Of high wages. !.
The high cost Of living, the mad
tendency Of even the thrifty east
siders to spend easily earned mon
ey for extravsgant clothes and
pleasures. and the already felt
pinch Of the slowing down in do
nestle trade orders have all COM
bined to bring to . halt the short
lived belief OF these sweatshop
workers that this was their day. /"
and that the world was about to
lay its wealth at their feet.
Wages are high" they have ar
gued with themselves. They can't
go down. We will have our nyer
and then settle down"
They have had their flyer. They
have worn silk shirts, fur coats.
and much f1nery. But now the silk
shirts and fur coats are nearly
worn out, wages are no higher than
they were year ago and the cost
Of living. II anything. has gone up.
The east side OF today is not ap-
probably any different than it was
five years ago. Much costly food
is displayed, but malnutrition cases
are just as many as the clinics
High rents are being paid. but
housing conditions, If anything. are
worse.

 And so on ali through the list.
 But--once more
 Last fall a big farmer neighbor of mine had his ssix-aere field Of potatoes dag by a horse-drawr digging machine, driven by a sample hired mana sample of the sort one gets, these days. never heard how many potatoes he got. What I did hear was the later remark of a small farmer who does niestlof his work by hand because he can't afford machines that he gave MT. Big Farmer $1o for what potatoes he could find on the field after the machine digger had got through and that he got his money back and good wages for his Bofk, too. That was the result of machine work digging potatoes.
 Not far from me is a meadow which has been cut for hay for at least hun dred years. It is what We old hayseeds call natural grass land Low, moist, a very little gravel mixed in with. great deal of black loam for soil, there seems to be an inexhaustible supply of grass making fertilizer in its depths. I well remember it as it looked fifty years ago. We'll fenced, smooth as a lawn, without stump or stone or bush in all it's, twelve acres, it was so "elean" that the old fashioned wooden-toothed revolver" rake never caught on snag or tussock in all it's area. tAny old veteran of the hayfeld who remembers those queer revolver rakes will know what. that meaRt.) To- day that same field is surrounded by dis reputable looking draggled wire fence, mostly hidden in the widening hedgerows of tangled shrubbery which wholly sur round it it's surface is uneven and snag- gy; there is a four-rods wide ribbon of aldefs marking the course of the brook through it. and the entire two acres across that brook have reverted to bean pole jungle. Also, there are at least a dozen elufnps of aiders, choke cherries, doswood, and wild grapevines growing up over the remaining portion. Where the old farmer of fifty years ago used to cut an average of two tons to the acre of twelve acres of perfect meadow, his grandson cuts now a smaller burden per

MIDSUMMER THOUGHTS

When fellows thoughts run far and free, What yagabend things they seem to be They tug and tussle, they fret and frown To lure you far from the crowded town Thoughts have habit Of running wild When the sunshine's warm and the breezes mild. You stand at your window and look afar, Thea feel what slave to the job you are. You think of the things you ought to do, But something rebellous comes up in you Work is curse, gruelling grind s&4 9se Ieu long to forget and leave behind Down canes your hat and the job goes hang You're breaking away from the whole Shebang And like some wild, unherded thing You aud your thoughts go galloping You smile at the boy-like way you seek The nearest path to the nearest creek And way out there on fallen tree You dream of the things that boy eyes sec Hours wear away as you sit and toss Stones at a can Then you start to cross To the other side-but the dream is gone You can't do that with your good clothes on
