The WAGE Situation.

From the Topeka State Journal.
When demand for the products of Ia
Dor falls the prices of the products fall
also. Moreover, since nobody will do
business without profit for any length
Of time. either the costs of production
must fall proportionately or the pro-
ductive plants must close.
Instead OF starting a fight with labor
by an attempt to reduce wages in con-
formity with the declining prices of it's
products, the manufacturers Of the
country are meeting the problems of
reduced demand and lower prices, run
ming their plants on part time. Cotton,
rubber wooden and leather industries
are down to half time or less. Many
others are working on two-thirds or
three-quarters' time.
Wages for the time the men work, are
being paid at the old scale. But the in
come per individual or per family is
even less than if full time were put in
at a less wage per day. The time has
arrived when the employer and the wage
Garner should get together and have a
heart to heart talk. Both should lay
their cards face up. on the table.

Governor Mccarthy, Of Hawaii speaks
in his annual report Of the cure OF a
number of cases of leprosy at Kahill
hospital, Honolulu, without segregation
at Molokai, as lone Of the most crafty
ing events of the year. in the islands.
From the chaulmoogra, an East Indian
plum rich in fats, an ethyl ester is de-
rived which President Dean of the Uni
versity Of Hawaii has taken an active
interest in providing for experimental
ton. Practical results are reported:
For the first time in many years no
lepers were sent this year to Molokai."
Even more important, perhaps, leprous
patients are coming forward voluntarily
for hospital treatment, instead Of endan-
gering others by hiding away, as SO
often happened in the past.
With the inflow shut off, the number
OF lepers at hfolokai has decreased by 65.
The 546 patients remaining there are
strangely divided. Only one is Amer
lean, and the majority are Of Hawaiian
or mixed blood. But there are a Span
lard and Belgian, IL Japanese, 21 Chi
nese, Al Portuguese, recalling some Ia
Dor ventures Of the great sugar plant
ers, and three Germans. The Isle of
Despair is a race medley.
Measured by the number of it's victims,
leprosy is of slight Importance in civ
ilZed lands. The loathsome aspect of
the disease In advanced stages, the hor-
ror it inspires, the devotion of Father
Damien and others in recent times, the
scripture tales Of the "unclean," have
called for the plying interest of the
world, which will hope that cure has
at last and in truth been found.

so minded It might derive q pcactica!
lesson from the life of Beethoven Per
picked at all times by poverty, harassed
by lawsuits in which by right he should
never have been involved and totally
deaf during his best years, he served his
genius through labor. To the familiar
cycle of Beethoven tradition, public and
domestic, 4 Viennese investigator has
contributed a letter of recommendation
Beethoven once gave to his servant girl:
II hereby testify over my signature that
while employed as a servant in my house
Therese Kaufman was honest and IN
dustrious and she worked for me one
whole month" Beethoven found time to
be kind, and humorous, while at work
on the Ninth Symphony.

about Beethoven? In 1898 he CHANGED to
read Schillers immortal Hymn to Joy,

The first and most important con-
slderation is to get a good supply of
clean water. BY clean water is meant
water which is both clear and pure.
Good farm supplies are usually OBJ
tanned from wells, springs and els
terms. Water from wells on farms is
frequently contaminated and con-
tains the source Of disease. Contani-
mated water may be the cause of out
breaks Of typhoid fever, dysentery and
other intestinal disorders among
members of the family.
From the standpoint of economy, all
local conditions which would have
bearing on obtaining clean water and
putting it into the house with con-
venient and serviceable equipment
should be determined. No matter how
cheap the system, if the water is not
clean or the equipment is not serv-
lceable or convenient, the investment
is poor one, say rural engineers of
the United States department of ag-
riculture. Plan first of all to do the
necessary work to give thoroughly
clean surroundings; next secure the
proper material to protect the well.
BY inquiry as to local prices of ma
terial and labor the cash outlay need
ed can be easily determined In the
majority Of cases it will be found that
the well or spring can be located and
Protected by the use of material avail
able on the farm, such as old brick,
stones, etc, with a cash outlay for
little except cement. or in case Of
bored well, for iron casing. The same
principle sho.Ed be applied in PLAN
ming the wate:~7 upply equipment All
material and labor available on the
farm or in the locality should first be
utilized, and only such cash expendi-
ture should be made as is necessary to
make the system complete, service
able and convenient, but this practice
should not be carried to the extent Of
using poor material which will later
give trouble in the operation of the
plant. Farmers Bulletin GAL, Water
Systems for Farm Houses, gives de-
tailed information in regard to the
selection OF sources Of water supply
and Pumping and storing water for
home use.
