A recent eslinuite places the avei'tige fanner's income
at 105 for this year. This includes not only the return
for the fanner's effort but interest on the investment and
the service of the w ife and children. One dollar and a half
a day for the whole family, if Sundays are counted out,
which they should not be, for there are duties to be -performed
on' the farm on Sunday. What city laborer would
". consider that an ample wage? '
Of course this statement of income is a bit misleading.
It really is not so bad as it seems, though it is iiot encour
aging. The fai'mer, grows much that goes on the table
and therefore' is not saddled with all the oufciay for eat
ables that falls on the city dweller. In addition he has a
. house, for, which he pays, no rent, and there is a saving
there, so that to assume that -$4(55 is all the farmer has for
. the year's effort rather exaggerates the situation. Yet,
' with the allowances which may be made for what the
farmer supplies from his own acres, SjvK;.") would not go
; far in purchasing many of the things he does not produce
' and which are essential to the comfort and convenience of
the family. Since this is an average, for those who make
much more there are others who make much less. Is it
: astonishing then that there is a drift away from the
farm? Who would want to farm for a meager income
when a trade which demands no great native ability in the
acquirement of skill to pursue it may yield such indefin
itely greater returns
However, the farmer is never without employment.
Strikes-'dti "ffot throw hint into involuntary idleness and
. he is assured vf enough 'to- ea(;' and :v place 10' live. Yet,"
with iill this the industry which is at the base ox existence
should not be unprofitable. If it remains iii tliit' Condition
' for ling the fact will be made apparent to citv -dwellers in
i an uinpleashljt' way." The' condition ' wherein' the farmer
. sells Sat no profit qnd buys on a Uisis of excessive cost.can-
.. not be niaintaimil .indefinitely';')' l tpesrsisted'. .IniY'Jllapse
will be the ultimate result.

For decades the Passion J'lay at Oljerammerg'au has
beenj invested vith' a mystic realism that has-'impressed
not ()nly tjipse -vh(r havfe witnbsed- thea-eligiourf spociaele
but the many more who have only heard of it. For the
American mind especially it has been difficult to uiider
. stand the absolute failure to' commercialize the play to
its utmost or why the players should lie content with the
trifling sum ouained .from tourists as boarding fees and
from the sale of picture postcards.
Such American minds will be but the further mysti
fied to learn that ou hrg to the depreciation of the mark,
the Passion Players are enduring hardships and making
sacrifices rather than yield to the importunities of pro
moters of the movies to' sell them the film rights. In oth
er words these Bavarian peasants would rather suffer
poverty than sell their ideals. .
The peasants may be wrong, in denying the filming of
their impressive spectacle. The lesson the movies could
tead) might be of incalculable worth to the vCry ideals the
Passjon 1 Mayers hold so sacredly;' lint if they do not think
so aird.rtf.use.lu be persuaded, their action is all the more
sublime .as. illustrative of the adherence to their ideals.
- One of the world's difficulties is that it lias so few
ideals and the few it has are so lightly held. It is as true
of most individuals as it s of states and nations. Appar
ently it is not true of the dramatic interpreters of he
Scriptures in Oberammergau.

Now comes a savant who asserts that, in the case of
woman, the long tongue is a feature that accompanies the
long head. According to this analyst of woman's proverb
ial garrulity, it serves as an outlet I'm- excess mentality.
This is rather startling to these who have hitherto hold';
different view of the over-talkative. It is an ancient obser
vation that those who are most verhese are frequently
This analysis is rather hard, on th,,.. wcet.-thinking

should have a lot of money and just 'let it talk.
