WHIT To DO WITH BILLS.

WHAT To DO WITH BILLS.
Almost everybody gets bills. but
there are only a few of US who know
what to do with them after we get
them. OF course. bills can be paid
and disposed of in that manner but
this method of procedure IS so un-
usual very few know the process.
Some people allow bills TO pray
on their minds but this is foolish
as we'll as useless. No more than
one party 10 a debt should worry
about it and since the other fellow
is worrying it is unnecessary for you
TO do so. If you 90 not intend to
pay the bills you get-and we take
it for granted you don't-you really
should know how to dispose Of Them
so you will not always be pulling
them out Of your pocket on occa-
sions when you are trying your
hardest TO impress somebody with
your financial standing.
I have worked out a number of
solutions tor the bill question, al
though I spent years in finally per-
fecting a process that would be sue
cessful. one of the first ideas
had was TO gather them up loosely
under my arm and then walk down
the street. letting them drop in sort
of a careless, wistful manner. How
ever, this never worked cut as large
numbers Of people would insist upon
picking 10 the bills 1 dropped and
running after me. cry out in loud,
insistent tones that I had lost some
thing valuable and begging me to
please take item and be more care
ful in the future. OF course, 1
would have 10 smile in my most
gracious manner and thank them
| for returning the bills 10 me, al
though. as you may suspect, I was
hardly so grateful as I looked.
I also thought once of paying the
bills I received and getting rid of

them IN that manner, but I discov-
cred that when ! spoke Of this to
my friends hey told me I was crazy.
Even those whom 1 paid looked at
me in a curious manner, so in order
not TO seem peculiar I ceased this
absurd practice and casted about for
other methods. Finally 1 perfected
few methods. one of the most sue
cessful working out as follows:
When I get bills I put them in
my lcft-hanG trousers pocket. one
after another and then by twos and
threes and tens, as they flow into
me on the lat and 18th OF each
month and the other dates between.
When, after a short while this
pocket is full Of bills, I send the
suits to the cleaners. In a few days
it comes back to me, fresh and
lovely and totally innocent of any
annoying suggestion of unpaid in
debtedness. and 1 put it on again
and repeat the process indefinitely
well. at least. almost Indefinitely
Either the suit wears out or the
other fellows patience.
Another good way Of dispos-
ing of bills is to allow them to
accumulate i'm your mail box
and then, when it won't hold
any more, move away.
In this way. you can con-
tinue until either one Of three
things happen You run out of
places to move into, you run
out Of movers, or you are run
into Jail.
The latter solution is much more
probable and is a contamination
devoutly TO be wished. How much
better is it than paying bills. once

waite cell Of your own in a modern
apartment-jau with all the refine
ments that up-to-date furnishings

from the worries and veXatiOns of

CORN CANN|NGH|T
BY DROP, IN PRICE
Farmers Cut Out Acreage in
Frederick County, Seriously
Affecting Industry.

FREDERICK. Nd. April 23.-An
ION" esason in the corn canning in
dustry Of Frederick county IL almost
cert ain this year. Already a few OF the
county plants have let II be known
that they will not run; others plan to
operate on a limited scale. The
situation in this business is similar
to that in most manufacturing lines.
There is an oversupply of canned
corn, due to some extent. no doubt, to
the consumers strike" The outlook
in the business Is so uncertain that
the factories in this section are pro-
ceeding very cautiously and will not
put up any more corn than they think
they can sell.
The prevailing price for corn will
be $40 per ton delivered to the fac
tory, as compared to $40 and $22 paid
last year. This price is lower than
has been paid for many years. This
will be a blow to farmers who make
q specially of growing sugar corn.
Although city consumers have not
been able to reap the full benefit of
it. farm prices have dropped since last
summer to almost the prewar level.
This decline, coming as rapidly as 1T
did, has dealt a very heavy blow to
farmers. They have been forced to re-
aG Just and curtail wherever possible.
Farm wages have come down. but not
like farm prices.
BOY FOR FARM LABOR.
Day laborers on the farm are get
ting in Frederick county anywhere
from $3.50 a day and board to $2.Fo.
This compares with SO and 81 a day
last year. Although this seems like a
big drop. the farmer is the worse off.
For instance, corn is selling at Sass
a barrel as compared to 50 and SIC
at this time last year. The farm hand
gets at least a half barrel of corn a
day now. as compared to a third OF
a barrel of corn last year.
In rush seasons farmers paid las
summer and fall in the neigh borhoot
of IS and IS a day. With these higl
wages and the declining markets or
The Washington times., 1921-04-24

last years crops many farmers lost
money In handling their corn and
wheat crops. 1t cost more to cut and
musk their field corn than they receiv-
ed for the crop.
Farm wages depend largely on the
individual. Some men are worth more
than others and are paid more. Month
hands are getting anywhere from $50
TO $50 q month, with various other
considerations thrown in, depending
on the agreement entered into. Many
month hands get house rent. firewood,
garden, some meat. eggs. milk and
hour. Counting the cost of everything
they get. month farm hands usually
receive more compensation than the
average city laborer. no matter how
good his Job. can hardly hope to get.
This class laborer 10 practically guar
anteed living for himself and family
and cash wage besides.
The continued drop IN grain and
livestock markets Is naturally hav-
ing a discouraging effect upon the
farmers OF this section, but II Is not
causing any great curtailment Of
farming activities.
Farm labor 10 more plentiful than
since before the war. But hands will
not put In the long hours. from sun
up to shutdown, as was formerly the
custom. The effect Of high wages and
short hours in the cities and the state
road work in this county is very
noticeable, even though farm labor
mas fallen In line very readily on a
lower scale OF wages. The supposed
trend of city workmen to the farms is
regarded as a myth.

not take.
Milk prices have dropped consider
ably. City consumers scarcely realize
this however. Twcnty-three cents a
gallon In Frederick Is considered a
fair price for the farmer. But the
consumer pays IL cents a quart, or as
cents a gallon. While the expense OF
distributing milk Is very high. the
recent drop in milk is not reflected
In what the consumer has to pay.
However. II Is claimed on behalf of
local milk men that the milk price
