Tlu« department of agHtflflture he* been looking anew Into the question of farm labor, aud Its report Is ¡ hi eked with dlscoui'agvment. Constantly ria Ing wage«—they have about dottble.1 since 1914—have not served Io check the steady decline I1'»’ «timber of agricultural laborers, at least In many sections of the country. A recent fed eral laveetigatlmi covered nearly 4.thto farms In New York Mute. During WI9 the population of these farms de creased 3 per cent and the number of hired men decrees»«tl more than IT per cent In the same region wages 1919 were Sil p«r cent higher than 1914; for 1890 they averaged $52 month as compare<l with $45.59 1919. The governmeiM reisirt carries a warning that the reduction in the number of laborers means a very serf ous fall In food production, which will ba further hindered by the prex ailing high cost of implements and supplies says Chlcatga Evening Post. Every otli clal report, whether it deals with In bor. with the outlook for the winter wheat crop, or with farm abandonment, tends to confirm the fear that America faces a precarious food situation. FIT QUOTATION SPECIAL ON TIRES JUST NOW The world certainly continues tn “shut up like a telescope.” It Is les.« than a year «Ince a letter dispatched from Canada crossed the Atlantic and was delivered In Ireland within twenty- four hours. The air way between Lon don and Paris has become an institu tion taken for granted. And now there comes the news that Chelmsford, in England, has spokea to Centocella. Just outside Rome, by means of wlreles* telephony. From Chelmsford to Ceti tocelia. as the crow flies. Is Just about 1.000 miles. How would the paleo lithic man, who undoubtedly was the first settler at Chelmsford, have re garded the possibility of such an achievement? Probably only a little more skeptically than the Inhabitant of Chelmsford. or anywhere else, two or three decades ago. The deceased wife’s sister, after a long and tortuous campaign, succeed ed In getting legislative sanction to marrying her brother-in-law. Now the debased husband’s brother has started to travel the same rough road, parliament, apparently, being less ten der to the lonesome woes of widows than to those of widowers. Extravagance in the purchase of or naments ts contributing materially to the shortage of gold and silver, de clared Charles W. Henderson, statisti cian for the United States geological survey, at a luncheon In Denver. “Res idents of this country expended $80,- 000,000 for gold ornaments last year, $51,000.000 In 1918. and $38.000.000 in 1915,” said Mr. Henderson, “which amounts to $21,000,000 more than the total production in the country In 1919 France is spending even more than the United States, and the price of gold in the French republic baa increased from 3,400 francs per kilogram to 6,800 francs, and platinum from 6,000 to 80,000 francs.”. With an exodus from Europe of expert gold and silver work ers there are in New York 90 per cent of the workers of the world In this craft, making Malden lane In New York city the headquarters for gold. «liver and platinum ornaments. Washington reports that the save- money-on-nieat movement has been a great snecess throughout the eountry, the people taking kindly to the cheaper cuts and eating them with relish. And the market page displays a heading, “Cheaper Beef Cuts Higher.” And there you are. Evidently a clear case of cause and effect. Florida has an overall and caller club of prominent men and women de termined to forego other garb until they bring down the cost of clothing. Elsewhere barefoot club* are l>elng or gardzed to bring down the price /»f shoes. The approach of summer lends Impetus and encouragement to this campaign. Massachusetts parents who had named their batty boy Woodrow WII- son lately appealed to the courts for legal permission to change the young ster’s given name. The custom of naming babies after famous public men has Its drawbacks not only for the children themselves but also for the names so honored, says Baltimore American. Recently a deserter whose trial and conviction attracted wide spread attention was found to be named Grover Cleveland. Parents owe something to their helpless off spring In giving them the burden of a great name they may wish either in later life to repudiate or else have to live up to. David said In his heart that all men were liar*, and In his day they knew nothing about campaigns such as American politicians stage, and he never read the counter claims of rival presldenti.il campaign managers. The claim Is advanced l>.v a scion tlst that it Is possible to rignlate the supply of rain. Where science ha* fallen down completely, however, I* It ’ts failure to have regulated,the de mand for drinking water. The divinity that doth hedge n king Is no longer believed In or respected by the common people. Burglars have looted the villa of King Christian of Denmark. "* It Is getting so nowadays that unless a man can have several special privi leges he wants to pull down the pillars of civilization. The old anylng that nothing 1« good or bad. but thinking make* it ao, does not apply to the high cost of living.

According to the physician« of th< Cook County hospital. Chicago, who’ looks like a cure for the worliMou disease of leprosy has been found This opinion Is based ui*>n the re. or of two cases now in the hospital. boil of which show such remarkable pre. ress toward a cure that ultimate recov ery appears certain, says St l.oiil Globe-Democrat. The remedy is simple consisting of Injections of sodium gyn oca rd ate. with associate treatment. Ii Is marvelous how simple were III« remedies for many diseases that foi ages baffled medical skill when one«« they were found, such as the treat ment for hookworm, the prevention of yellow fever and malaria, etc. Thi* is not only true in medicine but In all “She asked me to meet her by the applied science, where very simple things indeed »hide human search for garden wall."

Mayor Lomen of Nome, Alaska, ■ti dressing the annual conference of the American Game Protective association in New York, advocated repeal of state laws prohibiting the sale of veni son. asserting that the supply of veni son thrown on the market would go far to relieve the food situation. Rein deer. of which there now are about 160,000 tn Alaska, with prospects of their increasing to millions In twenty years, would furnish enough meat re sembling beef “for everybody” If a third of the animals were slaughtered annually, he said. The first Lapland reindeer Imported Into Alaska 28 years ago were 1.280 animals of both sexes. Mayor Lomen declared. About 100.000 of their offspring had l>een killed since then. With a population of only 441.000 white persons in the territory the sup ply of reindeer, which Is now on the same basis as beef cattle, is too great for domestic consumption, he said. Mayor Lomen urged crossing the rein deer with American caribou and do mesticating the breed. He said that besides being rapid breeders and a prolific source of food the reindeer is ■ good arctic work animal. Four hundred years since Magellan, la the gist of an exclamation that will be on many lips In Manila. If not In other cities of the Philippine Islands, on March 15 of next year. Magellan discovered the islands on that day, In 1521. There Is a hint of the many changes that have come to the Islands since they were first known to Euro peans.
