dreams forward and make them true. {"
said Dr. Mayo. Enlarging4 on the
conflict Of ideas for progress he de-
clared that it is not those who come
out In the open with their ideas who
are dangerous but those who work
behind closed doors need Watching.
DR.. Mayo paid a great tribute to
samuel Gompers, with whom he came
IN contact In Washington during the
war, and described him as kindly of
heart and sensible Of mind. "There
must be something in the American
Feoeratlon of Labor of worth to hold
Mr.. Gompers as it's head for 81 wears. -
he concluded.
In opening his remarks DR.. Mayo
welcomed the delegates to this CITY
which he said had no ntillionaires.

No Improvement in Farm Labor.

A 3 per cent decrease in food pro-
duction in New York seems inevitable
according to Bureau of Crop Esti-
mates which says:
Farmers dependent on hired labor
find it costs fifth more than last
season. and as they do not expect a
corresponding increase in price of
farm products there is general ten
dency to raise what they can by them
selves and let the rest go. Number
of hired men on farms of this state
is 16 per cent les thar last year and
SO per cent less than normal for
this time last year.
From New York to California the
renorts are the same and a falling
off in planted acreage is reported in
many states.
