Now about this time the law firm
with whom Michael worked became
deeply interested in their new boy
He studied hard, and seemed to know
what he vas about all day. They, saw
signs of extraordinary talent in him.

pleasant for him, they had invited
him to their club. or to, some, eve

chael had ~courteously declined, say
ing that he had an engagement for
the evening. They casually question
ed Will French, the other student,
who vas a happy-go-lucky: in the Of

study something and not because he
wanted to. Will said that Michael
vent out every evening and came in
late. Mrs. Semple had remarked that
she often didn't know whether he
came in at all until she saw him come
down to breakfast.
This report and a certain looks of
WEAKNESS about the eyes some Torn

The natural inference was. that Mi

FARM EXPERT
SHORTAGE SEEN
Specialists in Department OF
Agriculture Resign in
Large Numbers.
LOW PAY IS BLAMED
Wages Offered by Private
Concerns Higher Than
Government Gives.
LOW PAY IS BLAMED

A critical shortage of employees Is
faced by the Department of Agricul-
ture. 1t is claimed that experienced
men have been leaving the service
ever since the resignation Of Will
lam G.. McAdoo as Secretary of the
Treasury. This shortage Is said TO
rrevaf in many government depart
ments.
In the Department Of Agriculture
alone more than 5000 employees have
left because they were no longer
able to provide for their families on
the salaries paid them, and also be-
cause private firms and corporations
were more than willing to pay high
er salaries
Over 1000 Cases.
In l,o13 cases-and these repre-
sen tthe most valuable and trusted
men in the department-outstd in
terests gave them initial increases
averaging 81 per cent more than
their government salaries.
ono man left his department po-
sition. which paid him a salary OF
s4.50C a year. to become vice pres
ident and general manager OF one
of the largest fruit growers asoscia-
tions in the country at an annual
salary Of $4,000 a year. Five other
men. none of whom received more
than $4,000 a year. landed $4,000 a
wear Jobs, while scores of others
were given salaries of from $4,000
to $1,000 a year by dairy corpora
tions, agricultural institutes, and
business houses.
A typical example is that of the
senior highway engineer of the de-
partment. and this means the senior
highway engineer of the entire
United States. He was struggling
along on a salary of $500 until
he was offered a position as coun-
ty highway engineer in Texas at
a yearly wage of s5.000-just double
the salary the Federal government
could afford TO pay him.
Right Men Hard to Find.
Secretary Meredith said yesterday
that he considered the situation
very serious because nowhere
in the United States, or out of it
could men be obtained to carry on
the work of those who have re-
signed. The department, he said.
looks out for the interests of prod
ucts that each year represent ap-
proximately $4,000, 900. 900. and the
men who see that these interests
are safeguarded receive wages that
would be beneath the notice of a
hieh-class plumber or a gentleman
bricklayer.
