Dorothy Dix Tails
Our Just Desserts-2.
BY DOROTHY DIX
WoFia's Highest Paid weman Writes.

We've been wasting sympathy on
these poor, down-trodden worms of
the dust. They've got the kind OF
wives they deserve, for if they had
had the backbone of grub, they
would have made a winning fight for
their personal liberty, and got it. No
woman can take a mans latch key
away from him if he is determined to
hold on to it. No wife will try bawl-
ing out her husband unless she has
a shrewd idea that he will stand for
it, as for Mysteries, and tears, and
scenes, they are merely weapons that
she uses to get her own way, and
that she abandons if she finds they
don't win out.
And women have the kind of hus-
bands they deserve. The reason that
women, as sex, are more faithful
to their husbands than their husbands
are to them, is because men won't
stand for that kind of conduct in
women that women endure in men.
Probably there are just as many wo-
men with rowing fancy as there are
men. Just as many women are at
tracted by handsome, dashing young
chaps, who do not look in the least
like their fat, bald-headed husbands,
as there are middle-aged men whose
eyes are caught by some willowy
chicken.
But the woman signs, and passes on,
because she knows that her husband
would raise ructions if she INDUCED
in a Irritation; but her husband takes
the chicken out to lunch and sends
her violets. When women cease to
forgive, and demand that a mans
slate shall be as clean as their own
when they marry, and that he keep
it as clean afterwards, therein be
something doing in the single standard
of morals. And until they do, the
philandering husband is just the sort
of husband they deserve.
There's the poor, meek, abused wo-
man who stays at home and washes,
and cooks, and scrubs, and baby tends,
while her husband sports around in
glad attire and spends more money
in one night on other women than she
can pinch out of the grocery bill in
six months. Her husband never takes
her out anywhere, never makes her a
present, or gives her little treat. He
never speaks to her except to find
fault with her. She is nothing but-a
servant. except that she gets Nno
wages, and is treated as no one would
dare to treat a good cook in these
days.
She's got exactly the sort of hus-
band she deserves, because when you
permit anyone to make a dooranat of
you, you must expect to, be walked on
and kicked about, especially by your
HuSDand, lot every man accOrdS TO MS
wife exactly the kind of treatment she
calls for. $3.50.
And the woman with a tightwad
husband has got her proper running
mate. too. If she hasn't got enough
grit and determination to get her fair
share of the pleasures and perquisites,
and profits of the matrimonial part
nership. she must expect to be gold
bricked. like any other ninny.
We all have the kind of husbands
and wives we deserve. because we de-
velop in our life-partners whatever is
best, or worst, in them.

A glance at the forecasts of the
leading financial institutions of the
country will show that they are in
practical agreement regarding the
course of business in 1922. The con-
sensus of opinion appears to be that
from the standpoint of general condi-
tons, the new year promises slow but
practically assured progress toward
stability and a normal basis for oper-
alton. It should be a year for the OPP
tinist instead of the pessimist. There
activity will partake of the nature Of
a boom. If such a state of affairs
should develop, it would be short
lived, for there is still n great deal Of
maladjustment between various pro-
ducing groups which would interfere
with buying power.
It seems reasonable to expect a sat
isfactory year from many standpoints.
There should be an increase in pros
perity, but this does not mean that
wages will be higher and that profits
will be larger. In all probability
wages will be lower and profits will
be smaller. At the same time, there
is likely to be more employment
which would give larger aggregate
wage payments, and the volume of
business as measured in units of pro-
duction and distribution should in
crease, which would more than COM
pensate for a reduction in the return
on the unit of turnover.
z 'If we are to have an enduring
prosperity says the Wollman Re
view, cit must have something more
solid than the flimsy basis of very
high wages and extortionate profits.
The trend of 1922. as we see it. will be
in the direction of a prosperity found
ed on the adoption of more efficiency
in operation and a lowering of pro-
duction costs rather than on an at
tempt to increase unduly the volume
of business or to obtain returns thru
the medium of advancing prices to ex-
tremely high levels"
For these reasons it probably would
be too much to expect 1922 to be a
year of big profits. It will be enough

bic prosperity. The chief purpose Of

INCREASE IN FARM WAGES
Decrease in Prices of Farm Products
Blancd for Financial Reverses.


Compared with 1898. at which time
occurred the financial crisis of the
farmers, wheat in 1921 was 121 per
cent higher and farm wages 24S per
cent higher, according to the report
issued by Edward c. Paxton, Kansas
statistician of the United States bu-
reau of crop estimates.
The average labor wage on Kansas
farms in 1898 was $16.26 a month with
board or S25 without board. In 1921
the wage was $S5 with or $50 without
board. The peak was reached in 1920,
when the wage was $57 and s7T.5o.
While harvest wages with board in
1921 were IS per cent lower than in
1920, they were 81 per cent higher
than in 1913, when the average wage
paid was $24 and $3.50. And altho
harvest wages decreased S3 per cent
from December 1, 1920, to December
/, 1921, and wheat prices decreased
orly 20 per cent during the same time,
wheat nevertheless was only IS per
cent higher in 1921 than in 1913, while
harvest wages were 81 per cent higher.
The average price of corn on De-
cember /. 1921, was as low as on De-
cember /. 1898.
The steady decrease in corn and
wheat prices combined with the high
wage scale paid farm hands is largely
to blame for the financial reverses OF
Kansas farmers, according to the Pax
ton report. With labor prices on a
higher scale than when the United
States entered the war. corn and
wheat prices have dropped 70 pre-war
