FARM WAGES I'M 1920
HIGHEST IN HISTORY

Washington, Jan 27.--'Wage rates
for fArm labor reached their highest
point in the history of the country
in 1920. as national averages accord
ing TO figures gathered by the depart
ment of agriculture and made public
today. The average wage rate for
labor hired by the month, it was
shown, was $3.50. with board, and
$64.95 without board; for day labor
at harvest $3.50 with board and $i36
without board. For day labor other
than at harvest the scale averaged
%2.S6 with board and $3.50 without
board.
War condition. it was found, had
greatly accelerated an upward move
ment of farm wage rates that began
after 1895. The rates Of that year
for hirings by the month without
board was sl769 as an average for
the United States and no other year
in the record Of the bureau extending
back to 1866 had lower rate, except
1879 with $l642. From 1915 to 1920
farm labor working by the month
without board received a gain in
wage rate as high as lis per cent.
This was given by the department as
one of the causes of the greatly in
creased cost of producing things on
tho farm which has forced the farm

HELPED PAY AMERICAS DEBT
How Mrs. Monroe Was instrumental
in Saving the Life of Madame
LAFAYETTE.

An interesting side1ight history
lies in the story of how the wife of
James Monroe, fifth President, saved
the life of Madame Lafayette at the
time Monroe was American ambassa-
dor to France. Lafayette himself was
in prison in Germany, and kept in a
foul dungeon. Nine. Lafayette had
been seized by the Revolutionists, and
was confined in the prison of La Force,
and a date had been set for her execu-
ton. The Monroes were very much
alive to the great debt America owed
the young aristocrat, and Mrs Monroe
determined to do what she could.
She ordered the state coach of the
embassy, with it's faring coat of arms,
to deliver her to the doors of the
prison of La Force, and once there,
calmly requested an interview with the
unfortunate prisoner. An interview
with a person sentenced to the knife
was unheard of, but the dawning
power of the United States was such
that the officials dared not refuse the
request of the ambassadors wife. A
few words we're exchanged between
the women, and Mrs. Monroe drove
away. The next morning she was
liberated, the French Revolutionists
fearing to execute her, and desiring
thus to secure the friendly attention
of the new nation. 1t a daring
thing to do, for the results might have
been disastrous and all sorts of in
ternationa1 complications might have
arisen.

oysters Have Many Enemies.

Between the planting and the har-
vest, an interval of from two to five
years, the oyster culturiSt assumes
many hazards. On the New England
coast, after all his material is down,
the tickle .tset'' may not appear, pos
sibly because at the critical time some
weather disturbance may have killed
the baby oysters while they were yet
swimming near the surface In the
Gulf of Mexico the 'sset'' may be SO
heavy that there is scant room for the
oysters to grow, and many die, while
those that are left are half starved
and misshapen from crowding. Even
when the little oysters or "spat.'' have
alta ched themselves in favorable num-
berS, their perilS have just begun.
They are never safe from other enc
mics until they fall into the hands of
their arch foes
