Employment Survey
Indicates Optimism

The entire industrial field is pervad-
ed with ga splendid spirit of optim-
ism,' according to the findings of the
United States Employment Service
in it's monthly survey for July, pub
lished today. The general aspect Of
the industrial employment situation
is reported as encouraging" and the
very slight increase in unemployment
over June is credited to the fact that
July is always marked by a slow
down in industry.
The seasonal decrease in employ
ment, it is pointed out, was very
slight, amounting to only SIT in the
1923 industrial establishment en-
ploying 500 or more, which formed
the subject of the survey. Thirty
seven cities showed increased en-
ployment, among them New York,
Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Kansas City,
Pittsburgh, ST. Louis, San Francisco,
Chattanooga, and Baltimore.
One of the situations which was
causing most apprehension at the
time of the last monthly report, the
threatened shortage of agricultural
labor in the face of large grain
crop, has cleared up to some extent.
"The wheat harvest is progressing
satisfactorily" he report states.
adequate labor of an excellent type
has been found to meet the demands,
and no grain has gone to waste for
lack of harvest men" Christian Sci
ence Monitor.

Fool Husbands.

After enough committees have been
appointed by the government for the
purpose of investigating this and
that, we hope there will be a com
mittee appointed on husbands.
We want to serve on that commit
tee.
We want the authority to walk
into home and, when we find lazy
hulk Of a man sitting at his ease
reading while his wife or mother
shovels coal in to the furnace, shakes
down and empties the ashes, and does
other laborious tasks which he alone
should do, we want the power to lead
that fellow to the public whipping post
for good painful spanking.
We want the chance to take the
man who does not make his wife an
ample and regular allowance without
her having to ask for it and make
him beg for every dime he spends on
tobacco for the next year. We want
him to account to us even as he makes
his wife beg of him.
We want to thrash the man who
swears at his wife until he has for
gotten what cussing means.
We want to take that man who
strikes his wife and subject him to
punishment so inhuman that he will
realize the enormity Of his own off
enses.
We want the chance for just week
to cook for the man who always kicks
about his meals and the power to
make him eat what we cook for him.
He would never again complain OF
his wife's cooking.
We want to take in the hand the
man who wants the easiest chair, all
Of the newspaper, the tenderest steak
and most of the cream and teach him
courtesy-we want to teach him that
to mans wife and mother are due
greater courtesy than to any stranger.
We want to get hold Of the jealous
husband, the brutal, the drunken, the
unfaithful, the lazy, the gad-about
husband-indeed every fool kind of q
husband and make of him the kind
of a man his wife thought he was
when she married him.

The Return of
the Lightning-ROd.

The Hghtnlng-fOQ is coming Ddck.
The first electrical scientists of the
time, Thomas A. Edison and DR..
Charles P. Steinmetz of the General
Electric company, have Reimbursed 1t,
when properly installed, as protect
or of buildings from fires caused by
lightning. The National Board of
Fire Underwriters now gives great
practical push toward it's restoration
by declaring that 80 per cent of such
fires can be prevented by general
use of the rod, and by offering its SER
vices for the adoption of right methods
of installation.
1t is new vindication for Benja-
min Franklin and the first lightning
rod, which grew out of his kite expert
ment some ITO years ago. But 1t
needs to be said that in all this time
electrical science has never fatty con-
demned lightning conductors on build
ings and other lofty objects as useless.
! What killed them in popular favor
and use was the lightning -rod-man"
and his tricky commercialization OF
the Franklin discovery. Memories of
men now living easily go back to the
time when this person was considered
a worst pest along the countryside
than the book agent or the Yankee
notion peddler. Faulty material, bad
insulation, superficial grounding, and
failure to follow direct path from
the tip of the rod to the ground, COM
monty made it useless and often
worse.
Against a return in the lightning
rods comeback of this ignorance and
petty swindling, owners of exposed
property can have the help of the
tire-insurance companies, and with it
the incentive of reduced insurance
rates. Nor will the run of human
kind fail to gather comfort from this
assurance of electrical science in it's
present rapid and extraordinary de-
velopments that the dreaded lightning
stroke may yet be robbed of it's power
to injure or destroy where due precau-
ton is taken.-New York World.

Minnesota Potatoes
Gaining Added Favor.

Northern Minnesota seed potatoes,
seen growing by men from other stat
es, as result of the potato tour or
ganized by the extension division of
the University Department of Agri-
culture and completed at Duluth on
August 10, are in greater favor than
ever with the outside world.
The reason is that men who came
to see the conditions under which Min
nesota seed potatoes are grown and
the state of the crop went away con-
WINGED that the product of Mime
sofas certified seed potato fields, as
well as many other potato fields, are
"some potatoes"
H. M. Kilgore, large dealer from
Plant City, Florida, in which state
seed potatoes are usually imported
from Maine, after being with the par
ty week, making speech to a group
of farmers, said: Hereafter, l shall
have nothing but certified seed pota-
toes. l am through with taking
chances. / believe that Florida users
of seed potatoes will be willing to
pay a premium on high class stock
from this region rather than to take
unsatisfactory stock from other parts
of the country; that is, if freight rates
compel the payment of premium.
And l believe growers in other south
ern states would be of the same
mind"
The tour was under the direction
of R. C. Rose, extension specialist in
plant diseases, University Department
of Agriculture. The State Depart
ment of Agriculture was represented
by A. G. Tolaas, in charge of potato
seed certifcation. These men with
several other specialists from the uni
versity, with buyers and shippers
from this state and other states, with
representatives of implement and
spray manufacturing houses, with
farm journal writer's, and with rail
road men, visited scores of farms
At nearly every farm they were join
ed by potato growers from the vicini-
ty, who brought to the specialists their
problems as to diseases and damage
by insect pests. The keen interest OF
the growers in their work convinced
the visitors that Minnesota seed pota-
toes were being produced by men who
meant to approach, at least, the per-
feet potato in their output.

Income Tax in Britain.
j. Ellis Barker in Current

History.
Before the war, the normal income
tax in England came to shilling in
the pound of the income received.
During the war, it was rapidly raised
to 6 shillings in the pound, and at the
last budget statement it was lowered
from 5 shillings in the pound to A and
6 pence in the pound. In other words,
the normal income taxpayer pays a
shillings and 6 pence on every pound
of income which he receives (22h per
cent?. The less well to do are given
various allowances in accordance with
their position, means and responsible
ties, while the more fortunate have to
pay an additional income tax which is
called super tax, and which is imposed
upon incomes of 1000 pounds and
more. BY means Of the various al
lowances for the less well to do and
of variable additions for the more
prosperous, scientifically graded
scale has been created. Income tax
begins with fraction of / per cent
on small incomes, and rises to about
SO per cent in the case of very large
incomes.
AL ucdIh, PiopVICy pays 1rom ID
40 per cent, and those who wish to
leave their property undiminished
must every year put aside an amount
sufficient for the payment of taxes.
The estate and death duties are, there
fore, merely kind of income and
super tax, which has to be paid only
once in a while, and if yearly provi-
sions for the estate and succession
duties are made, the total income tax
is brought up in many cases to 81 per
cent and more.
