ANOTHER hopeful sign of better con-
ditions for the farming population is
the report of the great lowering of
wages for farm hands given out by the
state employment agencies. The Ke-
nosha office announces that the scale of
wages runs $35 90 to $4,000 per month
for experienced hands, and that men
are available for these wages. The
Milwaukee office has given out that
skilled farm hands are hired for $35. 90
to $50. 90 per month, and for unskilled
S25. 90 to $35. co. To all the wages are
added board and keep. Matters are
settling down to the normal, and hon.
est effort on the part of all to pull to-
gether for more general prosperity will
yield results. From now on the one
who is ''hogging it, will be the one
most likely to be left in the ditch.

THE influence of the prosperity of
rural communities upon business has
been brought home to all business men
during the past eight months, or since
the slump in the price of farm produce
set in. Southern Wisconsin is not as
hard hit as are many ether sections of
the country, but enough of it is felt to
fully realize what it would mean to
business if a protracted period of de-
preston should hang over the rural
districts The city man is learning
every day to appreciate more fully the
mutually of the interests of the coun-
try and the town. The merchants are
trying to make this understood in the
efforts they are making to inform the
people living on the farms of every new
shading in prices downward; and the
readiness with which the public re-
spends to sales at reduced cost, adver-
tised in the local papers and through
printed bulletins, indicates the willing
ness to buy is there as soon as the price
comes within their buying power.

BOOSTING of meat prices in Chicago
