Oh, no, not the fact of the sunshine, or the. snow, or even the gentle ruin, nil of which, we are just discovering, really have much to recommend them. It's the time of year, you know the short days and long nights. It's the mysterious sly. whispers, the conversations that stop so abruptly when certain persons appear. It's the laughter v.o hear,, now more than ever, on the streets! in the living room, at the bench, the desk, the barnyard. It'sr the wistful look kids have, the unsuccessful attempts they make lo read the countenances of their parents.

The situation hasj'beeome serious, for many experienced farmers are moving intdjthe cities, either for the purpose of earning' what they con sider easier money, or to use their savings in giving their .children and themselves the advantage of city life. Whatever theiicause, the situation . remains;. and it. constitutes a problem (ioerin ,i Y ... - ... ti ...i.i: c l i,.l n.dkJ "t'o.iay mat may wen engage hlumumjii ui iiliumi anu (mm- . , lllK.lin(.(, - inilt,.I,,Wtinl.n i..w.-,r. i .l;u ,, Th ft fnni' 'in nv :ni7SMOi1 t.hilt: t.hfi lll'nduction of food I-iaV-ltiL'.

It is a case where iamil iarity sometimes breeds contempt. Tn the matter of better school facilities in the towns, there is jn most, cases no place for argument, although some progress has been made in a number of states to bring about a centrali zation of teaching that gives country pupils some of the. advan tages of the city in a course of study. ; There is nothing to justify undue pressure to keep men and women and boys and girls on the farms. Rural life should be so attractive in itself that enough persons will make choice of the' country life to insure the crops of grain and quantities of : other foodstuffs needed to maintain all the people at a reasonable cost. Washington Evening Hta: Though j winter, draws near we hour 'little or I nothing of un unemployment prob- j lem" In the I'nlted Hlates. In other years, in those times which we have , come to call "normal. It was usual at tills season to have news of a slew ing down in work In the Id gelt les of the East and North. Men were be ing down in work In the big cities dirstrial centers, and other signs of bard times appeared. No such news comes today. Quite the contrary. The Star has published correspondence based on reports from many cities famous for tiuinufacturers that there Is every Indication that there will be t more Jobs "in the great Industrial and manufacturing centers like I'ltts burgb, Cleveland and Detroit than Who want them." It is said that Jobs arc plentiful, and in some sections 1 here Is a shortage of adult labor at ' good pay. The automobile building j industry promises to continue at full i lilt throughout the winter. Employ-! in con- Iment departments In the steel mills1 say that scarcity of labor und not of orders Is the reason that some plants are not operating ut cupacity. News from the Northwest Is that "empioy- ,'ment is at an exceptional level, and sufficient men are not availablo for every line." In the District of Colum bia there is no sign of abatement de mand for labor and no sign of a de- I'ubltc works are go ing slowly, and there is uncertainty us to when many projected and sure lyneeded works of public kind will be begun, but (be list of private works in progress and prospect is a long one, nnd for nil available labor.
