SYSTEM OF INDUSTRY

ILLS BY REV. JONES

Despite the high wages paid some
workers, generally. working men are
still not receiving what they ought TO
get. Their needs are just as acute as
ever and the pay is still inadequate,
asserted Ex-Bishop Paul Jones, secre-
tary OF the Fellowship OF Reconcilia-
ton, at he outdoor lecture and forum
held at 10:45 Thursday. as feature
OF the Young Friends conference.
His lecture might be titled THE
Competitive System VS.. the Cooper
alive System" as he compared the two
to the disadvantage of the former. He
said the present system OF competi'
tion was what had caused the worker
to lose his personality, in that he had
TO be dependent upon the mercies OF
the owner of his working place.

vegetables or food which are spoiled
or infected by germs, may spread dis
ease to hundreds Of people. For this
reason, garbage cans should be kept
tightly covered, and discharges from
the body of person who has germ
disease should be destroyed or thor
oughly >disinfected.
Left over food from patient who
has germ disease should never be
eaten by anyone else. It should al
ways be burned and a liquid food left
on the tray should be boiled ten min
utes before it is emptied.
OF the private ways the human hand
is by far of the most importance. At
ter handling a patient the greatest
care should be taken to scrub the
hands Immediately.
Many people wonder why nurses
and doctors often escape contracting
the disease that their patients have.
It is partly because they understand
how very important it is to wash the
hands, using soap and water and brush
and sometimes also disinfectant af-
ter handling anything that might be
infected by the germ of that disease.

ABANDONED FARMS
IN ILLINOIS.

Travelling in an automobile through
the western part of McHenry county,
Illinois, crop observer the other day
counted seven Abandoned farms that
previously had been worked by tenant
farmers. On inquiry he learned that
their abandonment was due primarily
to the high rentals asked.
In the last few years speculation
has advanced to exorbitant figures
the prices of farm lands in certain
sections of Illinois and Iowa. Farm
rentals have gone up in proportion
so high, in fact, that even at the pres
ent exceptional prices for grains the
tenant farmer has no certainty of
making ends meet. For many farms
which rented few years ago at $5 to
81 an acre the rentals now asked range
from S12 to $14. In the case of the
seven abandoned farms noticed in Nc
Henry county the tenants decided not
to take the chance. Instead, it was
learned, they hired out as farm hands
at wages ranging from 500 to $140 a
month. The extraordinary wages now
commanded by experienced farm work
ers are, of course, another important
element in discouraging tenant farm
ing.
Abandoned farms in Illinois consti-
tute new and disturbing phenome-
non. Untitled fields in this productive
state mean decreased crop production
and higher prices for food. While
speculation in Illinois farm lands may
have been good thing for these farm
lers who sold out at top prices, it is
likely to prove distinctly bad for the
state until labor once more may be
applied to the fertile acres under con-
ditions affording profit to all con-
cerned.

Trees GirMed by
Mice Can be Saved

F. Z. Washburn, entomologist with
the Minnesota college Of agriculture,
finds. that many apple trees have been
girdled by field mice. The greatest
damage has been done in orchards
where the grass has been allowed to
grow two or three years. Trees 10
inches in diameter have been girdled
and, in some cases, entire orchards
have suffered. Mr.. Washburn says
that girdled trees, if not too large, can
often be saved by bridge grating. The
ends of several apple scions should be
inserted in the bark both above and
below the injury. thus bridging the
girdled portion.

WAY GERMS PASS
FROM ONE PER-
SON TO ANOTHER
BY a Red Cross Nurse.

Germs are passed around in two
ways either in public, as through
milk, water, food or insects, or in priv
ate ways, of which the human hand is
the most important. Milk, water, or
food which is not kept covered or
which is not kept covered or which
has become infected with the germ Of
some disease may spread this disease
through whole community.
Insects, which feed on decayed fruit,
