The price OF farm labor In recent
years has shown Il trend. TO approx
innate the prices prevailing In the
industrial world. Because of the
relative conditions under which
farm labor and city labor are per
formed 1t is even conceivable that
the time may soon come when farm
labor will actually command a pre-
MUM. obviously such increase In
wages must be charged into the cost
of production and covered by the
prices OF farm products.

Landmark to Be Preserved.

The Mullan tree, landmark of the
old Mullan trail, the first highway
connecting Montana and Idaho with
the coast, will be preserved to posteri.
ty through the creation of a national
monument area by the president. On
July A, 1851, Captain John AtIl.an,
leader Of the party having In charge
the survey and construction. of the
Mullan trail from Walla Walla, Wash,
to Ft. Benton, Mont, closed his work
at the connecting point of the roads
from the east and west, at the head
Of the Fourth Of July canyon, be-
tween Wallace, Idaho, and Occur
dAlene, Idaho. There he marllSd APP
propriately a huge white pine tree,
which since that time has been, known
as the Mullan tree. Tourists seeking
souvenirs of their jaunt along the
Yellowstone trail have, damaged the
ancient tree so much that forest serv.
ice officers have found it necessary
to take steps to protect 1t, and to ac-
complish this have submitted a petit
ton proposing that national monu-
ment area be created, which has been
approved.-Kansas City Journal.

Maternal Impressions in canaries.

An interesting contribution to the
voluminous literature on the subject
of maternal impressions" Is made by
DIR. w. f. Schrader, of Fort Wayne,
Ind, In Clinical Magazine for Deem
Der, 1919. DR.. Schrader has been breed
ing canaries quite extensively for eight
years. Until last July no crippled or
deformed chick had ever been found
among his nestlngs. At that time
daily flights of an army airplane over
the city invariably threw the birds
into state of excitement and terror,
and during this period twelve eggs were
laid. Only seven of the eggs hatch
ed, and every chick Of the seven was
deformed three had no anal vents.
two had extra pairs of wings, and two
had twisted. legs held at full length
beneath the bodies. The same parent
birds have since raised two broods
each, and there was not single Grip
pied or deformed bird among them =

CLLoR CALL TO AMERICANS
Year 1920 Should BE Remembered by
All as Anniversary Of Establish.
ment of Free Institutions.

Distinguished Americans, Including
William Fl. Taft, Charles Hughes and
Cardinal Gibbons, have appealed to
their fellow countrymen TO remember
and honor by local celebra tons at any
suitable time beginning June 4 the
establishment of free Institutions in
America. A great year Is 1920. Three
hundred years ago beginning the 30th
of last July, there was being held in
jamestown, colony of Virginia, the
first American legislative assembly
called by free men of lawful age and
understanding. And during this time,
with self-government at it's birth hour,
the Pilgrims from England after q
twelve years sojourn In Holland we're
making ready to establish in the new
world home Of religious freedom.
One year after the Virginians met,
this Pilgrim band set sail for Amer
lea, departing from Leyden, Holland,
July 30, 1920. Furthermore let 1t not
be forgotten that Nov. IL Is not only
the anniversary day of signing of the
AAos Ao"Si SohipdSl, sSSOuu aSSuuIp-
ton by English colonies in. America
of the unalienable right of self-govern-
ment, but 1t is also of the signing of
the armistice closing the great war
In which, as the above representative
spokesman point out, the descendants
Of the Pilgrims Of New England and
the cavaliers Of Virginia and their
kindred crossed the sea and won lih.
erty together. A year with an ira.
perative challenge to renew policies of
Americanization and patriotic cOnse-
Grafton is 1920, and no community
should be without its religious and
civic expression in acknowledgment of
the past and in dedication to the fu-
ture.

Maple SUGAR Industry.

In 1919 the maple trees in the prov
ince of Quebec yielded more than r.
100000 pounds of sugar and nearly
100000 gallons of strip, and the esti-
mated value of these maple products
reached total of S6,396,535. The sap,
one might say, goes on flowing in pack
ages, tins and bottles, and never
more widely than at present, for eight
years ago the woodlands of the prov
ince were contributing 1000, 1000 pounds
less of sugar and about 100000 fewer
gallons of sirup; one leaves II TO
some Industrious statlstician, with
nothing better to do. to estimate the
number of griddle cakes thus provided
fo2, or the dimensions of the imaginary
BrobdIngnagian griddle cake that
would require all that maple strip at
once.

The Family Knew.

A certain thrifty young man often
calls on certain young woman, but
never yet has he ever taken her to a
picture show or out riding in his
automobile or even to the corner drug
store for ice cream. The family has
noticed and often commented on what
they, term his "stinginess," and all
before the young woman's ten-year-
old brother.
Now, the other night the ten-year-
old youngster was in the living room
while the young man was calling. The
caller, who was sitting close to the
fireplace and stretching forth his
hands to the cheerful blaze, suddenly
said, "Oh, how ! do love TO sit before
your fireplace and think, think
Like a flash came a quick Interrupt
ton from the ten-year-older. think
think of how you are saving money
by sitting here he said.-IndianapolIs

CAT RAISED FOXES
Puss Proved Good Foster Mother
to Valuable Cubs.
Fur Farmer Was Afraid to Take q
Chance, SO He Called in Tabby and
the Difficulty Was Solved,
to His Advantage.

There are perhaps 10 or II Of the ia
nous fur farms of Alaska. One Of
them, situated in the Tannana valley,
mile and half from Fairbanks, con-
sists of ten acres Of cleared land, the
greater part Of which is covered with
pens in which the animals live. From
a distance the fox farm looks like a
huge chicken yard with walls of woven
wire and hencoops of various sizes in
side. Each pen is so feet long, s feet
wide and about 10 feet high.
The wire is Of tough steel and is
sunk about four feet in the ground,
and then bent so that It runs inward
under the ground for about two feet
to prevent the foxes from digging out.
At the top the wire has an Overhang
of two feet to prevent the captlves
from climbing over. Each pen has a
kennel, the entrance to which is a
chute or a wooden pipe foot square.
Only one pair of foxes live In each
pen. They are very timid and must be
handled carefully. Most Of the fox
farmers will not permit strangers to
enter their property for fear they will
frighten the animals. Some foxes,
however, become so tame that strangers
can handle them.
The fox babies are the size of kit
tens, and have long, bushy tails, little
sharp noses, and eyes that sparkle like
jet. One litter of foxes was, 1t is
said, mothered by cat. There were
three of the babies, each of which,
when grown, was worth from $500 to
81 900. Their mother was so nervous
that the farmer feared she might kill
her young; and so he had them taken
away from her and given to the cat
In place of her kittens. The cat had
adopted them and played with them
as If they were really her own. For
such emergencies 1t Is necessary to
have cats about fox farm.
Because he would not pay high
price for a cat one man In eastern
Canada lost five little foxes that might
have proved worth small fortune.
The fox mother had died and the own
err Of the only cat In the vicinity de-
cllned to sell her for less than $500.
The unreasonable price angered the
fox farmer and he refused to pay It.
The foxes are fed with salmon, moose
meat, horse meat, rabbits, carrots
and turnips. A common feed is rice
and rabbit cooked together In stew.
One farm feeds 16 rabbits and IS
pounds of rice a day to 81 foxes. The
stew is gwen cold morning and eve
ming. The foxes come out Of their
kennels, seize the food, carry it in
side with them and afterward return
for more.
The land. kennels and machinery of
the farm near Fairbanks cost $4,000
and the breeding animals $4,000.
There are always about 200 animals,
foxes, martens and others, and only
two men are needed to care for them.

WHAT GOOD ROADS SAVE.

The state Engineer of Nebraska
has. been conducting an extensive
campaign for good roads, and he
gives some remarkable results OF
tests of their economy.
1t has been shown, he finds, that
to pull a ton over an ordinary earth
road, takes 21S pounds of power. To
pull it over a macadam road, takes
So pounds of power; over a gravel
led road, rs to 81 pounds of power,
and over a paved road, 81 pounds of
power. 1t is easy to see how a bad
road connecting a food producing
district with the railroad adds to
the cost of living, and tends to dis
courage the farming industry.
AS a result of the showing that
has been made of the economy of
good roads, many farmers in that
state are contributing out of their
own pocket sums ranging from $500
to $1,000 to help the work along.
They believe the good road adds that
value to their farms. When the
people everywhere learn to look at
the road question in that light, the
present tax on food production caus-
ed by the miserable condition of the
majority of country roads, will have
been removed.
One interesting result of these
Nebraska experiments, was the show
ing that earth roads can be success
fully built for 80 cents a square yd.,

Wireless Experiments.

Valuable experiments in wireless te-
legraphy are being conducted by the
French war sloop Aldebaran, which
has been cruising In the Pacific near
the Chatham and Bounty islands,
Lieutenant Guierre, wireless expert
will probably submit the result of his
experiments to the international wire
less conference in Washington
shortly. He states that the wireless
reception" In New Zealand from
French instruments Is of special In
terest to continental experts, as New
Zealand is practically the anapode OF
France. 1t Is claimed that the Aide
baran is carrying out for the first time
a truly comprehensive system of
measuring the strength of "recep-
tions," although an American had
pioneered the way In this respect.

thus demonstrating that the back
roads can be built without incuring
a prohibitive cost for expensive mat
erial and construction.
The more labor costs, the more
necessary good roads become. In
the days when farm help was album
dant and cheap, it did not make so
much difference if the farm hand
took all day to truck material to the
railroad station that should go in
half that time over hard roads. But
when farm help is so scarce and high
priced, it becomes necessary to have
the best facilities for transportation.

philippine Sugar Industry.

Five modern sugar mills are pro-

capacity of 5000 tons of cane daily.
Ten mills with capacity of 1900 tons
Of cane daily are already in opera
ton in this district. The movement
for better equipment and organiza-

of payment made by the centrals to
the farmers for their cane is 55 per
cent of the value of the sugar OBJ
