By yERN SMITH.

Lincoln's theory Of the relations
Of wage labor and land ownership
was true, in the main, in his day,
say the middle of last century. A
young man worked fer wages, saved
enough money to rent some land,
made enough money to buy the land,
died, and left it to his children.
To save enough money to buy
lard at present prices means, by
government figures, on the average
to save $4,000. Any bank will
show you chart giving figures
Of the surprisingly small percentage
of the total population who save
money enough to carry them through
their last year of life, who do not
die on charity. Eighteen percent
of urban jewellers die leaving an
estate as large as $4,000 Journal
of Farm Economics, Jan. 1927, p.
1867.
Lincoln's theory then implied that
there was scheap land for sale, or
government homestead land, farms
which the workers might expect
to save enough either to buy or rent.
1t meant that there was frontier,
and this moving frontier in Ameri-
can history is the key to nearly all
statistics as well as to much poll
tical history. r.
No More Frontiers
The writer has had the advantage
advantage at least for purposes of
this article) of living thru the last
frontier, There amt no more.
In the central valley, the agricul-
tural region of California, thirty
years ago the cattle and sheep her.
ders, hired men, were turning to
bonanza farming.
Those were the great days. You
invested your savings in horses
and gang pillow, and rented
half a section of land, by promis-
ing to pay quarter of the crop to
the landlord. The merchant in town
lent you seed and gave you credit
for another quarter, and if it rained
you made enough to do it again,
on larger scale next year, and hire
men to run several plows. If it
didn't rain you went back to sheep
herding.
Enough rain fell during the rest
of the century to make many men
owners of their land, aside from
mortgages.
More Intensive Farming
The population increased, farmers
planted orchards and truck gardens,
farms grew smaller, and there were
still wage workers, mostly from
the East, from the cities too. They
wanted to become farmers. But
now the farm land was worth $3.50
an acre, instead of S1.5O to $3.50.
And still (this is true everywhere)
no more wheat would grow on an
acre than before, and, bearing in
mind the rising costs Of everything,
a pound of wheat was worth no more
than before. 1t wasn't SO easy to
become an independent farmer.
The farms got smaller because
there were always from two to
twelve sons in the family, and they
each got their share of the fathers
land. Often they pushed the old
man off his land altogether, sent him
to the town, and rented" his land !
from him, farming it themselves
until they died. But that didn't /
help much,
The Foreign Born
In certain specialized sorts of /

of training behind them came in, the

 The slim flying margin allotted the midget monoplane "Golden Hind" was reached today, and when it passed, the craft and its pilot were believed to have been added to that long list of sky adventurers who braved the north Atlantic and failed.
 When Urban F. Diteman, Jr., took off at Harbor Grace, Newfoundland for London at 1045 a. m., yesterday he carried 165 gallons of gasoline which he estimated would keep him aloft 5 hours or longer than the period he would require to cover his course of about 2,350 miles. The 25 and only negative reports Of the flier and his craft came from the sea and England. Other estimates were trat Diteman's fuel would have kept him in the air but 20 hours Mean while he had not been reported or | sighted.
