Farmers, Ten-s-h-u-n !!

Can some one tell me just what
the fair wages Of farm hand is in
st. Mary's county?
There seems to be no set amount
in any section of the county, and
some one has always paid every man
try to hire just n little more than
offer him. If offer him $l.25 n
day and his board, he has just done
the same work for my neighbor and
received $l.5O and board. IL |
offer him $3.50 and board, he can
go to thousand different places and
earn $500 q day. l firmly believe
in paying a man what he is worth,
vet don't believe, at the present
prices of produce, we can stick to
the war time wages and expect to
come out on the credit side of the
ledger.
just today / spoke to a man
about working a day or two in my
garden and yard. ! offered him,
for pulling up some weeds and now
Ahk ShC lawn Win u ldWH UlOWeE,
$3.50 a day and his board. lie was
lnsulted at the idea of working for
. less than e. 90 q day and board. yet
that same man can come to nv store
and make $3.50 60 further today
than s4.OO would have gone eighteen
months ago.
! l request again that some one en-
tighten me as to the fair amount TO
be paid q farm hand for day in the
field and for a so-called "piddling"
job about the house. l would be
glad if the local State Agent would
consult the statistics on costs, etc,
and figure what we can afford to
pay for labor and then suggest to
the farmers of his county what he
deems q fair wage for farm hand.
!. earnestly request that the farm
ers take some steps to adopt n uni
form wage scale and stick to it.
Respectfully,
ELLIOTT K. DENT.

THE DISARMAMENT
CONFERENCE

Presidents Harding's over
lures to England, France. Italy
and japan, looking to a joint con-
ference with the United States
on the.subject of The lessening of
ornaments has met with very en-
couraginG success. The replies
: Of the first three named nations
show that'the desire for q reduc-
ton In war preparations is gene
raj and that governments can no
longer deny consideration OF the
worldwide demand that some
definite steps be taken to check
the ever increasing burden of
army and naval equipment.
We had hoped to see this result
accomplished through the League
of Nations. but Americas opposi-
ton to the League, as expressed
last November, completely sever
ed us from participation in any
movement originating through
that agency. President Hard
ing's initiative and its reception
by England, France and Italy,
revieves the hope that civilization
will still triumph, and if war can
not be made impossible, at least
the danger may be diminished by
the partial elimination of the
means of war.
Such a conference as the PreSi-
dent has proposed, and for which
he will shortly issue formal invi-
tations, must inevitably lead to a
better understanding among the
nations participating, and there
is every possibility that it will be
productive of some binding agree
ment that will call halt on the
excessive ornaments that cost
this country over so per cent of
its total revenues.
We like the disarmament idea,
and the fact that the Republican
party will claim credit for it does
not in the least detract from its
virtue, though it is rather diff
cult to understand how Mr.. Hard
ing reconciles his present policy
with his past utterances against
any'entangling alliances. The
alliance" to which he referred
the League of Nations would
have compelled disarmament, and
disarmament will just as surely
compel alliances. Even the
gradual disarmament of four or
five nations could only be under
taken through an agreement that
they would stand together for
mutual protection. Did the Lea
que of Nations demand more
than this Of it's members +?

DRIFT BACK TO FARMS.

In large part, the housing difficulty
arose from the abnormal drift of rural
residents to the cities to engage In war
production. Farm hands. farmers sons
and farmers daughters left the farm
home for city life. That left vacant
rooms in rural homes and created an
excessive demand for shelter In the
congested centers: 1t Is now an
nounced from various sources that
there Is a very noticeable drift back
TO the farms, says Albany Journal. A
small drift Of this kind into every
rural community will mean a large
emigration from almost every city :
perhaps enough TO take away the sur
plus and make the housing problem a
comparatively easy one to solve. High
city rents win do much to hasten the
bnck-tO-the-farm movement. And the
growing need OF employment will
bring down the cost OF the new con-
structi0n which Is necessary In any
case.

The initial step in the great adven-
