The farmer has become a competitor for la
Dor with the industries, and the Influence of this
competition will manifest itself in increased
prices for all kinds of foodstuffs this fall and
winter. This is something new for the Ameri-
can people. Hitherto the farmer has not been
compelled to compete with the manufacturer for
labor. The cost of labor was not an important
factor in the cost of foodstuffs. But this is
changed today.
A survey shows that the country lacks
100000 workers to man its factories and till
it's soil. The dreaded influx of foreigners after
the war has not appeared, but just the opposite
has taken place. Alien citizens have been quit
ting our country by the thousands to return
home with their savings and to live in idleness
or ease the rest of their days.
The labor shortage is particularly menacing
to the agricultural industry. Urban jewellers de.
pend upon the farmer for their sustenance. If
ne cannot product enough to supply the demand
prices will be high and some of US may 20

BY George Matthew Adams
SOURCES.

SCURCtS.
II is always interesting to know
about the origin of things.
To know that the great river starts
in little brook far up in the noun
tains, is inspiring. To know that a
great man had a great mother and
father-to know that all the trees and
flowers were once tiny seeds-to know
that the rich and powerful man was
once a farmer boy, milking COWS and
pitching hay-these things are as i'm
portant as they are thrilling.
/ But the most fascinating source is
that from which people get ideas!
/ How cid Edison happen to get his
electric lamp, Bell his telephone,
| Carnegie his mammoth steel Organiza-
ton, Whistler his matchless etchings,
/ Woolworth his magic. chain of ten
cent stores? The sources of fact and
inspiration which made the work of
these men known wherever lntelli-
sence is abroad, could not help but
| raise any race higher and make it
better.
What sources are you tapping?
Into what books do you delve, into
! whose companionship do you delight
! to enter that you may gain and learn
J to serve?
Wendell Phillips gave much Of the
credit for his ringing eloquence to his
! invalid wife. Lincoln once said that
all that he was or ever hoped to be
he owed to his angel mother.
Locked in the breast of the earth
are still undreamed-of treasures
Little brooks Of uncharted rivers OF
commerce are now trinkling among
the mountains of your inner and
greater self.
What do you want to become? Look
to your sources!
