Z IME vas when an a farr


1 IME was when all farm
hand had to do to insure
himself of job was walk
up to the Office of the Manu-
ufacturers' association en-
ployment bureau and he was given a
choice Of three or four places and he
went to work next morning. But those
days are gone forever, according to
Conrad SheRrer, secretary of the Ke-
nosha Manufacturers association
which conducts the only employment
bureau in the city. Today there are
from twenty to thirty calls on the
cards every day for someone to do
some work out on farm, but nary
man shows up to take such work.
That's another reason why the
country is moving to the city. A
farmer can't be expected to do all of
the work himself, and he certainly
can't expect his own family to do it.,
unless he has FIVE or six husky sons
to stand by him. Kenosha is particu-
larly unfortunate in that respect"
continues Shearer. And he ought to
know, for he's been in charge of the
employment bureau for the past
seventeen years, ever since it was
started.
Conditions Have Changed.
"There was time" he goes on,
''when we supplied the farmers in the
county with from $50 to $50 hands
every season. Now if we can locate a
score of men who are willing to do a
turn on the farm for bit we con-
slider ourselves lucky, and the farmer
considers himself even more so.
The old-time farm hand took job
for the entire season, and he worked
with a vim. He had the use of the
farmers horse and rig, had most Of
his evenings to himself, and he used
to be a real figure around the corn
husking parties and barn Dances
such rs they were years ago. He was
a happy man, and contented.
''But now il man condescends far
enough to accept a job with farmer
he is ready to consider negotiations
which cover a period of few weeks
at most, and in his contract he stipu-
lates that he is to have the use of the
flivyer whenever he desires it, and he
also demands that nothing interfere
with any other duties or pleasures
that he might set for himself along
with his farm work.
Work Too Distasteful Now.

out for long stretchoften FIVE

Valuable Tapestry
Cleverly Stolen

Weimar, June IS CAP by maiD-
Two valuable Gobelin tapestries of
the Wartburg. dating from the 18th
century, have been mutilated by un-
known thieves with the obvious in
tention of selling abroad the excised
strips as one piece of tapestry. After
the revolution both carpets, which
belonged to the Grand Ducal House
of SaXony. were included in the list
OF national works of art of value
not to be sold abroad" Recently. in
spite OF the protest of the Wartburg
Foundation, the Lord Chamberlain of
the Grand Ducal House sold the two
tapestries to an art collector in Co.
loSne. AS they were not being sold
70 a torelSn buyer, the protest of the
NartburS Foundation proved futile.
Inc new owner thereupon sent
them to the Kaiser Friedrich Muse
UNI OF Berlin, for the purpose of OBJ
tanning DR.. Demmler's EXPERT opin-
ION on their exact historical sienifi
canoe and value. He decided that
both Gobelins were of South German
Workmanship of about the middle of
the 10th century. Both represent

sequel, and both are SS centimeters
long, one being pa metres in width
ana the other 2.26 metres. 1t was
discovered, however, that a strip of
~ centlmetres in width had been cut
from one Gobelin, while from the
other strip 90 centimetres wide was
missing.

BELFAST
Mayor Gives $4,000 Toward
First Years Expense of Boy
and Girl Scout Movement

Citizens of Belfast have for long
time been discussing the pros and
cons of Y. NJ. c. A. for Belfast,
there being no such organization in
the county and 40 movement is now
on foot to organize some sort of a
Boy and Girl Scout Troop which will
do practically the same work in the
community. To this end Mayor O..
E. Frost has offered to give $1,000
for the first years program, it being
estimated that it will cost about $4,-
OOO year to finance the movement
and similar amount will be raised
by citizens. Already ten have
pledged total of 500 and it is be-
lieved that the required funds will be
easily raised.
The committee which was ap-
pointed to look up a lot for build
ing to house the organization re-
ported favorable on the barn on the
Mcclellan estate now owned by the
city, the house having been turned
into a public school. This would be
an ideal location the committee re-
ported, close to hte athletic field
which in winter could be used as a
skating rink with but little expense
There are two plans under con-
sideration. One is to employ two
trained workers a man and a woman
to give full time to the project, the
other to have these workers teach
in the public schools a part OF the
time in which case the State would
pay half their salaries. E. Z. Roder-

But that is not what Tennessee pro-
poses by law to do, not at all. It pro-

hammedan or agnostic parents, OF
Fundamentalists or Of Modernists,
by comparison with what may be
found in the Bible. In so doing 1t does
not say who shall determine what

COMPETITION IN COOPERATION

No less an observer than our ma
tional Secretary Of Agriculture
avows his conviction that co-opera-
ton is essential to the well-being OF
agriculture. But If anyone thinks
this effort at cooperation is alto
sether to do away with competition
he is quite few years ahead OF MS
time, Already one group OF CO.
operators finds itself in competition
with another group. and within rea-
sonable limits this is hardly deplor-
able under existing conditions. A
cooperation inclusive Of the entire
number Of producers might serve to
check initiative and enterprise. as
we'll as do certain other objection
able things to our common welfare.
This week the Maine Poultry Pro-
ducers' Association and the New
Hampshire Cooperative Marketing
Association met at Portland and dis
cussed the kind Of competition they
are facing from the western "co-ops !.
They also wished to find a way to
counteract what they are pleased to
term the propaganda Of the Boston
commission men trying to discourage
cooperation. They were so well
convinced there must be some united
effort on the part Of New England
producers along the cooperative line
they are to hold another meeting
soon. To the fellow on the side
lines 1t would seem that they are
we'll advised.

Of qualification in a world hitherto

a decree" says the Vorwaerts. which
describes how private musical in
struction had become very neglig-
ible quantity during the war and sub
sequently in the imitation period and
that on the whole the government
unfortunately had never considered
music as significant for educational
purposes. .t
The decree mentions that "a de-
cisive change may now be expected
in musical education" All private
music teachers under a certain age,
providing they have not graduated
from some accredited musical insti-
tuition, will be obliged to pass an
examination. They will then be sup
piled with an official license to teach
music. Without such a license no
teacher is to be allowed to give in

"ALoNG THE RIGHT LINE"

The Minutes of the Meeting Of the
Board Of Directors Of the Maine
Public Health Association" held here
July 9th comprise quite impressive
document. Even from hasty read
ing one cannot escape the conclusion
that they have many health irons In
the fire; that they are meeting with
encouraging results, that they have
interested valuable support from
those with a desire and means to be
Of aid also that If the public can
have done to it all the various things
in the way Of health information and
application outlined or already active
without deriving any advantage
therefrom it would be much more
stupid public than there is any good
reason to suppose.
No the Maine public is not stupid,
It does respond effectively to efforts
for team work and has something
to show for it. Surely tie improve
ment in the health conditions of
Maine in the past few years did not
Just happen. Nor is 1t likely that it
Is altogether due to the Maine Pub
tic Health Association. But this
much is evident that Association is
working along the right line. Its
methods are incentives to the people
to do for themselves that which none
others may do for them. do stimulate
coordination, do minimize or avoid
petty jealousies in an inspired COM
mon effort in which all may have a
share. And improvement has been
made; that much is admitted, dis
tribute the credit for it as we may.
The Federal Governments statis-
tics show that the average length of
life in Maine is seven and half
years longer than the average
throughout the country. Names tu-
berculosis death rate is lower than
that Of any other State east Of the
Mississippi and south of the Great
Lakes. In 1922 Maine excelled her
New England neighbors in the mat
ter Of control Of tuberculosis. OF
course this is not by any means all
attributable to any association.
Faithful souls have, over a consider
able period, been working tirelessly
to establish the methods Of preven-
ton.
But there need be no controversy
over the share in the achievement.
That Is not the policy in the conduct
of health matters in Maine today,
and thanks be 1t is so, for there is
need of all Of us and the need of
praise is not the real reward for the
endeavor, rather 1t is achievement,
and that we have in noticeable meas
ure.
We do not need to be told that
teamwork is the greatest "go-get
ter" yet devised. It will. do us no
harm. surely, to consider that we
are successfully demonstrating this
not only in our health matters but
IN other ways. in the development of
Maine itself. It is a movement we
all want to "get in on" as quickly as
poSsihIe
