BACKTOT THEFARM'
MOVEMENT NOTED
IN FEDERAL REPORT
Sec. Wallace Is JubiIant
Over Agricultural En-
couragement. -,
MANY CAUSES GIVEN
Unemployment, Falling Wages
And Industrial Unrest Are
Contributing Factors.

1t developed yesterday that the
back to the farm" movement has
become a reality and Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace is tubilsnt
The movement is ascribed to- a
number of causes. Principal among
these is the fact of unemployment
in the big centers. the falling
wages and the continuous unrest in
industry. All OF them have served
to drive the workers back to the
ground in an effort to escape the
burden Of unequal hours and ir-
regular pay.
Wages in the agricultural States
have fallen sharply, however. in
some instances as greatly 80 30
per cent. In the other farming
States the indications are for great
ly lessened pay. what with the sK-
csssive number Of those applying
for work and the greatly lessened
competition. Taken in it's entirety.
the situation in the country might
be epitomized by the reports from
Arizona and New England. The
former reports: There is an abun-
dance Of farm labor at greatly re-
NdkNes " nAAt Aht
communities Of the New England
States are giving up their workers
to the farms, as is evidenced in
the report that: "Farm labor is
more PLENTIFUL wages reduced
about 30 per cent from last year"
War Cenaitfon. Displaced
The wartime conditions that gov
erned in many OF the industries
working at top speed have been
displaced. the government has as
certained, and a gradual return to
normal is predicted. That this Is
being brought about. is considered
an encouraging sfyn. II is part OF
the solution Of a number Of prob
lens that have engaged the atten-
tion OF the administration and still
is engaging IL.
The report on labor conditions.
coming on the heels of the favor
able report on wheat conditions. is
regarded as an insurance that the
crops this year will be garnered.
During the past several crop sea-
sons this has been impossible.
owing to the lack of labor and the
high cost Of its employment.

Steamship Casey in Galveston

Of special interest to the Knights
of Columbus of this city and county
who jumped right in and got sufficient
signers to the Golden Belt Railroad
Bond petitions for Hays, to put it
over, and who did the same in the
townships of Ellis and Rush counties,
will be this news from our Galveston
correspondent on Monday.
''The steamship Sassy came into
port yesterday consigned to Trosdal,
Plant and Lafonta, and is at dock 80,
loading a cargo of wheat for Spain.
She will be here all the week, will be
thrown open for inspection by the
people and crowds will visit her every
day, and at night receptions and
dances will be given by the officers
and crew.
"After il was seen what service
was performed by the Knights of
Columbus in war work with the troops
it was decided by shipping board ofic-
ials that a vessel should be named for
the order, that the work might be
commemorated. 1t was not regarded
as possible, however, to call ship the
Knights of Columbus, and inasmuch
as Casey is a common nickname for
the organization and also conveys
practically the same sound as K. of C..
IT was decided to give the vessel the
same handle as that possessed by the
battling Irishman.
sIittle Miss Miriam R. Flaherty,
daughter of James P. Flaherty, su-
preme grand knight, stood sponsor
for the ship as she slipped down the
ways. at Hog Island in 1918. The
Knights of Columbus assisted in some
extent in fitting her up, providing
music machines and other entertain

The New Camp Grounds

The Experiment Station have gwen
permission and a new tourist camp
inc grounds has been located in South
Chestnut street in the Public Park,
opposite the R. B. Thomas home, just
inside the Park gate. A pump has
been put down, giving splendid water,
two toilets have been erected back
among the trees, and with the great
big Wilson cottonwood trees for
shade it makes a very nice location,
and is already being used by tourists
who find it a great improvement on
the old location further east.
The bridge across the gutter should
be made wider so there will be no
danger in running in and out by the
autos.
Mrs. Thomas and her daughter,
Ruby, have started a refreshment
stand just across the road on the
Thomas place, where fruit, canned
vegetables and tourist supplies can be
had at reasonable prices, and which
will prove very convenient for the
tourists.
Now when tourists come to Hays
and reach the Court House from the
west, they can go right on down
Chestnut street to the creek bridge,
about a quarter of mile; and those
from the east when they reach the
Chestnut street corner, instead of go
ing north, can turn south the quarter
of mile to the creek gate.

NATIONAL SONG
duly Fourthl

(July + OurIn)
Our hearts are the hearts of the yeo-
men
Who stood with such resolute mien,
And bullet for bullet gave foemen
That day upon Lexington Green ;
Our praises are still for the freemen
Who signed and wrought tyranny's
knell;
And still is our glee for the gleemen
Who rang the old Liberty Bell!
We never have fought with the craven
For wrong; though it stood on a
throne;
We never have fiocked with the raven;
Our bird is the eagle alone
Our banner, may none wave above it
Atop of the tapering spars,
Is the red, white and blue-how we
love it
Its stripes and its spangle of stars

CALCULATING LOGIC

Make your accounting department

Lessen mental exertion-and you

Mechanism masters man in both

Ten minutes lost in adding each of
twelve columns of figures totals a re-

Adding accuracy means adding Of

Mental action at best is not always
