DECREASE SHOWN
IN CHILD LABOR
Figures Show Marked

marked decrease in the number Of
children between 10 and % years
old who are at work, shown by cen.
sus figures for 1920 tust published,
is more apparent than real. accord
ing to Dr. Alba NJ. Edwards, CEN
sus expert of the department OF
commerce. The question OF child
labor remains a problem. accentu-
ated. by the supreme courts recent
decision, despite the optimistic fig
Ures Of the census Of 1920.
Not Good Comparison.
The number OF boys and girls at
work In 1920, according TO the sta
tistics. compiled as OF January OF
that year, was l,060,SjS, a decrease
of 929.367 from the 1910 figures.
But--and here ~ what largely null
lilies the encouragement Of the
1920 census--the 1910 census was
compiled I'm mid April, when spring
planting operations were at the
peak, and farmers throughout the
country were begging for help. In
January, however, the number OF
farm laborcrs is at its lowest ebb
1T is believed" Doctor Edwards's
report states that when the emu
mcration was made In 1920 many
children usually employed as farm
laborcrs were not then at work and
were not returned by the census
enunierators as gainfully occupied
This appears to have been tr,ie es-
pecially IN the case of children liv-
ing on the home farm. The emu
merators' schedules show that a
considerable proportion of such
children were returned as neither
attending school nor being galnful-
~ occupied"
Gain Inconsistent.
on the face OF the census re-
turns only $4,000 children of both
sexes were engaged in farm work
in 1920 as against ,434. .42S in 1910.
But too many children were emu
merated as farm laborers In 1910,
according to Doctor Edwards, who
pointed out that, although an in
crease Of 3i.S per cent occurred
between 1900 and 1910 In the num-
Der of children employed on farms,
there was mo similar increase in
the total number of persons ,,en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits."
The decrease In the number OF
child wage earners in 1920 was wide
spread throughout the cOunfry.
Both in cities and rural districts the
figures show marked decreases. In
only two classifications did their
number increase--clerica occupa-
tions and public service"--where
their numbers jumped srom 537 to
i,l30 and 7l00t to S0,1iQ, respcc-

and four inches deep and at once cover
with newspaper to help hold the
heat for a longer time. After few
days or whenever the soil has dried out
enough the seed may be planted.
Young plants grown in this treated
soil not only have white, sound roots,
but also have healthy, vigorous ap-
pearance above ground. Besides this,
seeds sprout better and the plants
grow much faster than those planted in
untreated soil.
Ordinarily diseased seedlings are a
lighter green color and are somewhat
smaller than healthy plants and have
a sickly appearance. These signs of
disease on the young plants, however,
may not be noticed and still the trouble
may be present on the roots and de-
velop after the plants are set In the
garden.
To find otS If diseases are present,
always examine the roots Of young
plants before setting them out. II af-
fected by molds or fungi, dark dead
patches may be seen on the roots and
sometimes on the lower part of the
stems.

There are some families that prefer
he medium-sized, smooth tomato,
while others desire the largest that
can be grown. The larger tomato Is
suitable for slicing, but the house
wife complains that it is usually too
large for canning, SO the medium
sized tomato seems to be more in the
limelight.
In either instance, a strong, healthy
plant is necessary If the best results
and early fruit are desired.
The very best plant obtainable to be
set outdoors as soon as the weather
will permit is the indoor-grown plant
first raised in the fiat, then trans
ferred from small pots to larger ones.
That is the certain way to obtain the
choicest of plants.

Harmful MoIds or Fungi Should
Be Destroyed Before Seeds
Are Planted.
MOST SOILS ARE UNSUlTED
II Disease Spores are Not Eliminated
Plants Will Become Diseased
and Die or Remain
Stunted.

To be sure Of obtaining healthy
young plants for transplanting to the
home garden or elsewhere, treat the
soil in the seed box with boiling water
q few days before planting. Most all
soils commonly used for seed beds con-
tain one or more kinds of harmful
molds or fungi and in addition, In the
South, destructive eelworm which
causes a disease of many garden crops
commonly called rootknot.
Recently it has been learned by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture that seed-bed soil can be made
reasonably free from these plant ene-
mics by this simple hot-water treat
ment. If disease spores are not killed,
plants grown in such soil will usually
become diseased and die, or else will
remain stunted and sickly. 1t is be-
cause of the transplanting Of such dis
eased seedlings that many of the poor
crops or failures in the home garden
occur. Every gardener should there
fore learn how to recognize troubles OF
young plants and become familiar with
the method here described for prevent
ing them.
Before treating the soil it should be
placed In the box ready for seeding.
Make few holes in the bottom of the
box for drainage. Pour on the boiling
water very slowly at the rate of two
gallons to box of soil one foot square

TEST THE SEEDS YOU SAVED
Use Small Box in Basement Window
to Try Out Corn or Other Seed
to See IL Good.

Experienced agriculturists take no
chances on corn and other seed lie
there is any doubt as to whether or
not it will terminate. 1t is just as
important to the small gardener to
know that he has good seed. The best
way to determine this is to plant small
quantities of the various varieties of
seed that have been saved. If the
seed sprout up in the window boxes
it is good test. If the seed do not
sprout and make reasonable growth
you may be sure that it will be use
less to plant the seed in the open
later when regular planting time
comes. 1t is worth while to know If
the seeds are all right.

Holy City in garry Days.

Ancient Jerusalem stood on four
hills, now almost entirely nodded to-
gether, and the intervening valleys
filed with debris. Mount Zion is that
height on the southwest, the city OF
David, made conspicuous today by the
towers of the German ecclesiastical
buildings for which the former kaiser
gave the land. Mount Moriah is on
the east, the site of Solomon's temple,
separated from Mount Zion by the
valley of the Tyropoeon, Mount Be
zetha is on the north and Mount Akra
on the northwest, the two latter repre-
senting the crowded quarters of the
modern city.

The Eskimo hunts the musk OK with
dogs from which they do not flee. On
sighting a small band he lets one or
two dogs loose when the older AMI
mails Immediately face outward in de-
fensive formation with calves in the
center, and prepare to give fight. AS
soon as the herd Is thus anchored
the Eskimo lets all his dogs loose and
then proceeds to kill the musk OK
with gun or bow and arrow. The
musk OK are very fierce. and If a
wounded bull charges the Eskimo, the
dogs in turn Immediately attack him,
which gives the hunter chance to
shoot second time. In this way the
Eskimo is able to dispatch the whole
herd.

Prehistoric Ruins.

The fascinating interest of the
ancient ruins in Rhodecia, South Afrl-
ca, drew the attention of the arch
biologists of the British association
during its recent meetings at Cape
Town. Among these ruins the most
conspicuous is the great Zimbabwe
temple, which lies about 200 miles in
land from the Indian ocean. the old
est of the ruined buildings are be-
lieved to date back at least to the
days of King Solomon. 1t is thought
that they were constructed by Semitic
colonists, whose chief object was gold
mining, and who have left indications
of their worship of Baal and Ashta-
roth, as described in the Bible. Ex-
perts believe that precious metals to
the value of $3,OOO,00O or $1,000 900
must have been extracted from the
gold reefs of Rhodesia in ancient
times.

small monthly amounts and you are insured for the full amount
you determine to save in 12O months.

Question. What is the Insured Savings Account
Answer. The Insured Savings Account is a saw
ings account which is underwritten by insurance on
the life of the depositor.
In opening one of these accounts the deposition
plans to save any amount from 81, 100000 upward. BY
regularly making monthly deposits (the amount of
which is determined by the age of the depository he
or she will receive at the expiration of one hundred
and twenty months the amount it was planned to
save. Should the depositor die at any time before the
expiration of one hundred and twenty months, his or
her heirs will be paid approximately twice the full
amount intended to be saved, regardless of the
amount of money the depositor may have in the bank.
Q. Is this a new plan?
A. II is a new combination of two of the oldest
and most dependable forms of financial investment,
namely savings and insurance, by which the deposition
plans to lay aside a regular monthly saving in the
bank and guarantees to his family approximately
double the amount he intends to save in case of his
premature death. In other words, he is sure to get it
If he lives and his family will realize on his savings
if he dies.
Q. What form of insurance covers the deposition?
A. The deposition is covered by practically any
form of insurance written by the Minnesota Mutual
Life Insurance Company. We will help you select the
plan.
pls1na "'"' are IN age '"''' Of 'ne insured Savings
A. An insured account may be opened by men,
women and children between the ages of IS and so.
A special plan differing slightly from the above can
be used for those under age Is for the purpose of
accumulating a special educational fund. Those over
so can secure the benefits of the plan by carrying it
in the name of some member of the family within the
age limit.
Q. To whom is the insurance made payable?
A. The savings depositor elects the person to
whom the insurance is to be made payable. He may
also dispose of his estate as follows: He can elect to
have his insurance benefits paid to his estate. He may
direct payment to be made to any member of his FAM
lily, relatives or friends.
Q. What happens if l find myself unable to save
for one hundred and twenty months?
A. Amy time after the FIRST year the depositor may
withdraw from the plan and that portion of his saw
ings funds still remaining in the bank after deducting
premium for the life insurance protection will be re-
turned to him. 1t is not the purpose of this plan to
make it hard for the deposition to quit, but to make
it easy for him to stay with it.
, 1922-02-27

Q. What happens If the depositor is not accepted
by the insurance company?
A IF fer any reason the depositor is not accented
by the insurance company the depositor can thea
place the insurance upon some member of his family
and still continue the insured savings plan; or he can
make his savings in the form of an annuity.
Q. What is the method of opening an Insured
Savings Account?
A. An Insured Savings Account is opened in prae-
hcally the same manner employed to open a regular
savings account. The depositor makes his first month";
ly payment through the solicitor working through the
bank, who will supply the depositor with a pass book
and receipt for his first deposit at the time the account
is opened. After tho depositor has made his first de-
post, he is obliged to call upon the doctor for a medi-
cal examination, the cost of which is betrayed by the
insurance company. When the depositor has been ac-
cspted by the insurance company he will receive his
certificate. The insurance on the depositors life be-
gins at the time the deposition makes the first deposit
and proves acceptable to the insurance company.
Q. What would happen if l removed from the
neighborhood where l established this account?
A. You may still make your monthly deposits
through the mail by RENTING express money orders,
bank drafts or checks, all of which will be credited
subject to collection.
Q. Is the Insured Savings Plan safe?
A. The savings end of this department is being
carried by the National Bank of Commerce which is
under the supervision of the National Banking Sys-
tenn. The life insurance is placed with the Minnesota
Mutual Life Insurance Company of St. Paul, Mimi,
and Old Line Mutual Legal Reserve Company which
has been operating for over forty-one years, wherein
all of the proceeds of the business goes to the policy
holder. This company is under the supervision of the
Minnesota Insurance Department and also under the
Insurance Department of each state in which is OPP
~ss-the state of Wyoming in this instance.
Q. How is my insurance protection arranged for?
A The bank takes care of all details. They will
see to Il that you are always fully protected. The
bank pays for the insurance annually an advance.
q, In case of death when is the money paid to
benefciaries?
A. Insurance benefits will be paid Immediately
upon proof of the demise of the insured, at which time
also the bank will notify your estate of the accumu-
lated funds you have in the bank in addition to the
face of the life insurance contract.
Our special representative will be glad to call upon
you and will always consider it a privilege to be able
to serve you.
