Nervous people often wonder how
anyone can stand or sit in one place
all day long performing routine oper-
alton, such as pasting labels on lin
cans.
Many people, we are told, thorough
ly enjoy this type of work, and prefer
it to a task which involves variety of
activity, forcing them to use their
heads.
This just goes to show how difficult
il is to put yourself in anothers place
Whiting Williams, writer who
worked as a laborer, says that work
ers do not remain ON unchanged jobs
unless they are suited for the work.
The endless repetition of motions per-
mits these people to let their minds
wander off into beautiful day dreams
"Wisecracking'' is common among such
workers. They enjoy a mental free
dom that seems most pleasing.

babies and other citizens of benefits
of legal records of vital facts pertain
ing to their lives that may be of in
estimable value at some time.
Mrs. Mary Ellis Brown, statistician
of the state board of health, bureau of
vital statistics, yesterday paid high
tribute to the splendid cooperation re-
Gently by the school enumeratOrs in
giving their services free in taking the
census of babies under one year of age.
This generous help is enabling the
Bureau to check these names and Sc

securing complete registration.

give full information regarding births

PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY
The Editors Eye


1t has been said time and again, and
perhaps we have said 1t ourselves, that
our production problem has been solv-
ed, and that our big problem now is
marketing.
We are beginning to doubt this. We
are beginning TO think that production
will always be the big problem, and
that most of us must seek the solution
of our marketing problem in better
methods of production.
Take the instance Of farmers, who
are generally conceded to be the worst
statesmen in the world. Much Of their
product is subject to world competi-
ton. No individual controls the price
Of what he sells. Farmers have been
told by many experts that they must
improve their system of marketing IL
they ever hope to improve their finan-
cial condition.
Yet Robert p. Crawford, associate
professor in the University of Nebras-
ka, points out that the opportunities
for improved methods of production in
agriculture and livestock are positively
staggering.
He states that in Nebraska alone
the loss from preventable animal dis
eases totals a minimum of $15,OO0,OOO
year. The lives of hundreds of thou
sands of hogs could he saved each year
IL farmers would change the location
OF their hog pens each twelve months.
This fact, and many other comparable
facts, have been demonstrated many
times by the state universities.
Again, we are told of an apple or
chard which was so inefiiciently man
aged that 1t produced nothing. Com
ing under the care OF an intelligent
young man who knew how to care for
trees, it bore a crop which was sold
for $4,000 the first year
II would seem that all farmers, by
this time, know about the drainage of
land and the necessity Of rotating
GIUIN. MlIutltS niNt DttA UthANNtN ~
those who have applied available in
formation. yet Professor Crawford says
an unbelievably large number Of farm
ers remain ignorant or shiftless.
Obviously If man is not producing
efficiently, If his hogs are dying from
preventable diseases, If his orchards
are being devoured by insects from
lack Of spraying. If his soil is wet and
cold from lack of drainage, he win not
be helped by study of new marketing
methods.
The solution Of his problem is in
production. His cost Of production is
so high that he can never hope to sell
in a competitive market at profit.
Speaking of hard times, as so many
people are doing, Professor Crawford
points out that in the years following
the panic of '93 many new agricultural
developments occurred-winter wheat
and alfalfa began to be dreamed of as
realities. dry-land farming began TO be
tried, and finally agriculture again got
back on sound basis Today. he
says the agricultural colleges have n
hagful of tricks that will work magic
for thousands Of farms in the great
corn belt
Very likely, If writer had the time
for the investigation he could show
that the movements toward manufac-
turing efficiency in this country have
had their genesis in periods Of depres-
sion. Manufacturers, when markets
