Der was $3.50,
In England il was $2.2S n day; in Ger

First impression is that these wage
rates are indicative of similar differences
in production costs, In any undertaking..
however, the wage scale must be conSid-
cred in conjunction with service rendered
and individual output
The laborer in the Texas and Louisiana
rice fields is paid 10 times rs highly rs
his competitor in Japan and China. But
the land under his care produces 10 times
as much, so it actually costs less to grow
rice in those states than il does in the
Orient.

T1uo Kinds OF Economu

A NEW note has been injected into the
n Coolidge economy talk by reports
from two of the presidents cabinet secre-
taries. One. Mr.. Hughes, has resigned as
secretary Of state because public service
had so depleted his bankroll
Then it became known that Secretary
Hoover had depleted his private funds to
the extent of 100000 during the past
four years to further the good work of
his office.
Tho he denied that ne spent his money
paying public employees, it is known that
ne has spent much money hiring private
assistants to help with certain work of
his office not provided for in the budget.
Not many public officials would do that.
The president would not. 1t would not
square with the presidents New England
idea OF economy. The presidents idea of
economy is that money not spent is saved,
saved for the Taxpayers.
Mr.. Hoover sees economy in terms of
production or waste. To Mr.. Hoover, gov

MINOR LEAGUE RACES
REMAIN ABOUT SAME
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

NEW YORK, July 6.-Leaders in
the minor leagues held their own
fairly well in the past week of the
1925 race.
The week ended with Louisville on
top in the American Association
New Orleans leading the Southern.
Albany still in front in the Eastern
Baltimore in its old place in the In
ternational, Denver stealing away
by inches in the Western, and Fort
Worth, as usual, on top in the Texas.
San Francisco retained the leader
ship in the Coast League, but did
not find the going quite so easy.
The American Association fight
was indicative of the ability or
the part of Louisville to run away.
Indianapolis advanced to second
place by playing a little better base
ball, but for the Hoosiers to really
get in she race they will have to win
many games in a row.
The fact that the Baltimores were
held about even during the week in
the International race will not help
the other clubs of the circuit. If
they wish to put a new name at the
head of the roster in their race they
will have to do more than merely
hold Baltimore even.
New Orleans dropped in standing
lot during the week, but so die
Atlanta and Chattanooga, while the
gaining club was Nashville. The
latter. however. did not gain enough
relatively to help much. New Or
leans will have to be dubbed harder
in the next month if it is to be shorn
of its championship aspirations.
Mobile emerged from the second
division during the week, winning a
Inf nf in dninp Sn
Albany is holding the leadership
OF the Eastern League because of
good batting. Springfield has moved
up to second place. Except Pitts
field, every team in the circuit still
has a chance.
Denver looks better in the West
ern League than 1t did. Had this
league not got into a quarrel, ii
might have had a great fight this
season for the championship.
The ambition of the two Okla
homa cities to get into faster COM
pany has hurt the league. 1t is not
improbable that there may be quite
some reorganization in the circuits OF
the Southwest before long because
of the shifting of city populations.
Then. too. there are cities which are
trying to maintain fast ball clubs
which are somewhat shy on finance
