New York. Sept. 14.--After a some

ket struck a strong stride on the up
tack which carried prices from one to
10 points above Yesterdays closing
level. Adherents TO the constructive side
had a strong stimulating ally in the
overwhelming Republican victory in
Mains yesterday and the promise Of a
brief spell, at least, of easy money
after the tax payments tomorrow. Tech

tingent had overplayed their market
While lacking to some extent in ami

the session did not have what really
could be called a single weak spot.
| The railroad shares. as in the preceding
sessions, showed more consistent
! strength than the industrials. but the
after were bOlstercd up materially bv
an overextended short interest. In all
events, as the day progressed it was evil
dent on all sides the path of least re-
Sstance was encountered on the for
ward swing. This fact was particularly
| demonstrated in the short lived rcac.
action which followed the high opening

The big G. o. L. Maine victory for
a time looked as il it might be offset
| by the continued unsettlement of for.
eign exchange. Dealings were active and
Urice changes substantially higher at the
opening but the forward movement was
of brief duration as the initial gains

Demand for oil products is rap.
idly SURPRISING output, and
some idea of the enormity of the
industry may be gained from
the fact that estimates place
this years production at ap-
proximately 420, 100000 barrels,
having a value Of 81 1,250, 900, 900.
The number of automobiles in
use has increased from about
100000 in 1914, to over 8,000,-
900 at the present time, result
ing in an overwhelming con-
sumption of gasoline.
It is therefore apparent that a
steady demand for oils and oil
products at high prices seems
assured, thus strengthening the
financial position Of well-man-
aged and well-seasoned oil COM
panies.

THE LABOR PROBLEM ON THE FARM

these things I felt constrained to ask him where he thought the skin flint farmers" were going to dig up better wages,
 His answer was that that was not his lookout; 1t was upto them to get it and turn it over to their hired men or else-and his words mumbled off into some sort of threat that "the people" would take their farms away from them and send them to the poorhouse, "where they belonged"
 Now, that particular Johnny Good for Nothing had been here for about six months. Drawing $60 month wages besides numerous privileges he hadn't, in all that six months, earned his employer $10. That "easy mark" wouldn't have kept him fifteen minutes if he had. himself, known the least little thing about farming as a business. The man was utterly inex- perienced: didn't know how to milk a COW or handle a hoe; was fiabby- muscled and soft-handed; lazy; shift less: dishonest; greedy as a hog and treacherous as copperhead snake. I don't know how salt tears his employer wept at his departure, but the neighbors were all mighty glad tc see him go.
 My observation of him gave me ar Illuminating side-light on one phase of the farm labor problem.

Written Specially For The Bulletin.l 5 Not long ago met a recent impor- tation from the city at the corner just beyond my place. A rich New York man, who had recently bought a big hillside farm nearby, had sent this other city product up to occupy one of his tenant houses and work on the farm.
 We'll he said to me, tits good bye to you; I'm goin' back to New York. No more O this - hole for me-"
 Whats the matter?" I asked, in order to manifest at least an appear ance of interest.
 E Can't earn my beer without workin' sixteen hours a day,'' he re- sponded Tell you what, you skin flint farmers hev got to pony up with bigger wages. or you won't get nobody to work for you, no more.'
 As happened to know that this mans wealthy city employer was furnishing him. a comfortable house a big garden, all his fuel, all his seeds, COW and twelve nens, buying all the feed for them and also for g driving horse and pig, and paying him $60 a month in cash for a ten- hours day, with all Sundays and holi- days and rainy days thrown in, and extra days of" whenever the circus came within twenty miles-in view oi

 The hired man says. in effect: You can't expect me to work for you. Mir.

 It reminds one of the famous ques. ton what would happen if an ire | sistible force met an immovabie body
 There is an old saying on the farm that you can't get blood out of a tur- ] nip.
