house employees are voting to go back
to work. In the long run, labor is
going to be compelled to adjust its
demand to what the farmer is willing
to pay for labor's hire. After all, la
boris principal object is in preparing
those things which are essential to
the farmer. If the farmer is not will

BUSINESS MOVES FoRwARD.

AS the first month of the new year
draws to. a clos" the consensus of
opinion in commercial and banking
circles seems to be that business Is
getting a little better every day. Some
trades are in stronger positions. show
ing steady progress, while others show
irregular progress; but even in the
trades where progress is irregular the
situation has improved and net gains
are indicated.
In the main. perhaps, says the
American Exchange National bank
bulletin, the Improvement is due to a
steady increase in the volume of
hand-to-mouth buying as a result of
the gradual elimination of surplus
stocks and inventories. This minute
but growing improvement is slowly
rebuilding confidence in the price ba-
sis, and there have, already been cases
of speculative buying in some of the
more active trades. 1t is generally
felt that whatever further readjust-
ment ,,emains to be carried out will
be extended over a long period and
that no further sharp readjustments
are to be immediately feared. Most
of the price changes during the past

THE HARD JOB
It's good to do the hard job. for it's
good to play the man,
For the hard job strengthens courage

And the hard job. when it's over gives
the man a broader smile
For il brings the job of knowing that
he's done a thing worth while
Oh, stand you to your hard job with the
will to see it thru.
Be glad that you can face it and be glad
it's yours to do;
1t is when the task is mighty and the
outcome deep in doubt.
The richest joys are waiting for the man
who'll work it out.
Beyond the gloom of failure lies the
glory to be won
When the hard job is accomplished and

Colonel Bryan is quoted as saying;
THE prospects of the Democrats cap
turing congress next November are
better than in many years. The re-
action against the Republican party Is
founded upon the condition of the
farmers, who represent one-third of
the voters Of the country. They are
worse off now than in years, and are
blaming the party in power for their
condition" Not infrequently have the
Democrats gained power thru the
country's misfortunes. Cleveland was
elected in 1892 as result of a nation

time to a more rapid development Of
business is the wide margin between
what, the farmer sells and what he
buys. This difference is regarded as
abnormal and therefor temporary.
Increase in the price of farm prod
ucts rather than reduction Of whole
sale manufacturing prices, is consid-
cred to be the probable course of re-
adjustment. There has been a per-
sistent demand for manufactured
goods at relatively high retail prices.
The wage situation offers resistance
to radical reductions in prices of such
goods, and the decline in the output
of manufactured goods in 1921 was
much greater than the decline in the
consumption of such goods.
