In my childhood my father paid a man twen ty dollars per month and kept a horse for him, putting up with various trib ulations In the way of much running to town and staying out nights. Care ful Inquiry among our ne'glibors re' vealed the fact that twenty dollars per .month is considered a fair price for a young and Inexperienced farm-hand. with one dollar per day on working days for a grown man. "Now two hundred and forty dollars per year doesn't look very attractive to the average youth, even If living Is thrown In. The time was when a young man could pay attention to a young lady without much expense but that time is past. Entertain ments, suppers, lectures and all forms of amusement have doubled In price, but the wages have remained station ary. And when the young man begins to think of setting up a home of hi own, what can he do with the savings of two hundred and forty dollars per year? It Is no wonder the sons of formers take to town as soon as they are old enough to work."

Elbert Hubbard, of the Philistine. Is about '.lie only sane person In the whole world who fight vaccination and sometimes it Is a scrlnus ques tion as to Hubbard's evcry-dny snn- y. 'Lately there has been more or les smallpox around I a Grande and Is land City. One case had never been vaccinated and he developed the old fashioned smallpox, proving beyond a question that vaccination, to say the least, dilutes and reduces the se vcreness of the disease.

Fol lowing Is an extract: 'There la one phase of th. qnosCnn that the farmers rarely touch npon !n peaking of farm-labor difficulties, and that is the wage problem. Rack as far as 1870 farmers were paying about as much for hired men as ihi-y arc now. yet nobody e'er seems to ttke Into consideration the fact that If better wages were paid young men might be attracted to the .farms. "In in v childhood a neighbor of ours who needed a man the year around paid a young capable fanner one dol lar per day, furnished him house-rent, fuel, chickens, Cow, pig and garden, and considered himself fortunate to bal e him. That is about as much as the married laborer can get now, ami often farmers deduct for holidays and stormy periods when there Is only the feeding on hand. Personally, I know of graduates of agricultural schools being offered only twenty-five dollars and board per month, the same wages paid to untrained and untaught work ers. On our own farm a young col lege student (not an agricultural student, worked last summer for twen ty dollars per month and board and was well pleased to get It. To be sure, ho was only a boy. and a boy with several lingers off one hand, which rather handicapped him, but he was faithful, honest and Intelligent.
