WAGES AND FARM SURPRISES


Rising wages would be big aid to
agriculture, the American Federation
of Labor current survey of business
points out. The federation gives the
following specific example of how a
10 per cent raise for lower income
workers would help:
"The war has virtually cut off Amer
ican exports to the continent of Eu-
rope. Normally American farmers
export $s00,0O0,OOO of products,
largely to these great markets now
closed. Of our cotton and fue-cured
tobacco, so per cent normally goes to
foreign markets, 80 to 40 per cent of
our prunes, raisins and winter pears.
"Our low-income workers cannot
buy all they need of these products;
surpluses are piling up. Judging from
the amount of cotton normally bought
by low-income families, 10 per cent
wage increase to all families with less
than 81, 500 would create market for
$76,000,0O0 of cotton goods. This
would use about per cent of the cot
ton surplus due to closed markets and
also create an important market for
surplus tobacco and foods"
What the federation says puts the
spotlight on the strategic place of ris-
ing wages in the farm prosperity pic
ture and is convincing argument for
farmer support of higher wage levels.

Washington, D. Municipal Court

essential thing is to get the hard sur
face roads when we can. And believe
it or not that WPA money isn't GO
ing to last forever. Loeb Lynn, across

where to put them. They went ahead
and got all they could.
We have said before, and say again,
that the Park has been lax in the mat

have been gotten in the past for the
asking.
Too bad-Mountain Lake is fine

Make it a real town-not a three
month town.
There will be a mass meeting of cit
zens of the Park on Friday night at
eight o'clock, it has been announced.

worth while service. (Thea story APP.

If the good roads question isn't soon
settled one way or the other there's
apt to be regular old-time ''feuGs." As
near as we can understand it, ami
that's not great deal, the town faith

entity the question Of where would be

not entered certain Of their minds.
After all, it seems a pity that when
there is an opportunity to get good
roads in the Park that we do not
seize it. What difference where the
road goes, we cannot all have them at
our front door at the same time. The

Has Enviable
Record in Voting
BY ARTHUR p. STOKES

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -(SNS)-
Perhaps no voter who voted in
Tuesdays election could boast of a
better record at the voting booth
than one Of Birmirgham's oldest
Negro citizens.
You have TO be rather an old
timer, a gray haired old timer at
that, to remember when Jack
Fuller voted for the first time, so
years ago. That was the year
when President Garfield was elect
ed over Mr.. James G. Blaine and
political folk were hearing the
terms "halfpreo" ana 4StaIWarth." :"
Regularly, yes, almost religiously
Mr.. Fuller makes his way to the
election booths, each and every
year; and Il was there to vote this
year." he told me, and then con-
tinued, Il haven't missed but once

Yea, Jack Fuller was born in

He seemed proud of the fact that
he had been carpenter for so
years. And besides, in 1888 he mad
helped to build that big bridge

ington, Kentucky, to Cincinnati,
Ohio
NOT so ACTIVE NOW
Mr.. Fuller isn't as active as he
use to be. His hair is all gray now;
