Staid Lends Aid in Solving
Vexing Labor Problem.
EXAMPLE FOR ALL CITIES.
Following Rccommondntions by Gov
ernor Glynn of New York, Labor
Bureau Sends' Jobless Men to Farm
ere, Who Find Great Difficulty In
Obtaining Laborers.
.MAltwiuy. NT. Y. In Ills efforts to solvo
the prohlein of providing labor for the
vnst army (if unemployed men In Now
York and In order to set nn example
for oilier cities wlicre similar Indus
trial conditions exist Governor Glynn
nnd his investigators linvo lilt upon a
novel scheme and one which. It Is
hoped, will In n measure solve the vex
ing question.
Investigators for the state get Into
communication with farmers who need
farm hands. Their expenses nro pnld
to the farms, and the men accept Jobs
that pay from .$20 to $35 per month, In
eluding hoard.
This was the first practical applica
tion qt Governor Glynn's plan of solv
ing the problem of unemployment In
the cities nnd meeting the unprece
dented demand for labor In the rural
districts. Two car loads were shipped
first under the direction of C. V.
Iarmon, deputy stale commissioner of

agriculture, in chnrge of the stnto't
labor bureau, and It Is expected that
they will be followed by many more
before the supply In Now York city la
exhausted.
The fnrmors round about Fonda,
N. Y were on hand to offer the men
Jobs as soon as they arrived. A part
of the courthouse was Hot aside to ac
commodate the Influx of farmers and
Job hunters, and the local grangers
made all the other arrangements for
the bringing together of the men who
want work and tho men who want
workers.
Two or three of thoso who started
nro marrlod men, and they were per
uiltted to take their wives with them,
as there. Is opportunity for women to
get work on the farm as bouse work
ers. "I have every reason to believe that
this plan will succeed," said Larraon.
"Most of these men nro honest men
very eager for work. Tho vngrnnts
and tho perennial out-of-works don't
care to go out Into tho country to work
on n farm. Of course, 1 am not ego
tistical enough to think that this Is go
ing Immediately to remedy the whole
unemployment question In New York,
but even If we only send up state 4.000
or G,000 men It will help.
"Just ns the supply of In borers Is
greater In the city this year than ever
before the demand for lalxirers In the
country Is greater than in any year I
can renit'inber. As soon ns the labor
ers arrive In these places they will bo
met by an agent from the department
of ngrlcultuni and they will bo at work
n few hours later. We nre scudlng,
naturally, only such men ns we nro
satisfied will nmko good on tho farm.
"What we' are doing In the majority
of cases Is simply correcting the fault
tho men made when they drifted to tho
city. Wo nre carrying them "back
again from where tboy started and,
contrary to n prevalent belief that they
won't want to go. they are enthusiastic
about It.

General Iiurlcson.
Under the now scheme I he n tmos of
farmers and truck j-.rowe.s w.lllng to
supply their produce In lutall quanti
ties by parcel P'ist v til be obtained by
the postodlce depart .ncnt.
This nnnouncemei t followed closely
the order of the postmaster general per
mitting the use of crates and boxcj for
parcel post shipments of butter. c:gs,
poultry, vegetables and fruit. At first
the now system will b" put Iny- eticct
In ten cities of varying wn.n- tho
workings will bo closely studied.. Later
It will be extended to all towns In tho
country. The scheme will be Inaugu
rated first at Boston, Atlanta, St. Tiuls,
San Francisco, Washington, Ihtltlmoro,
Detroit, Lacrosse, Wis.; Lynn, Mnss.,
and Hock Island, III.
Postmasters Will Receive Orders.
The postmasters of these points have
been directed to receive tho names of
persons willing to supply farm produce
In retail quantities by parcel post
Printed lists of their names, showing
In each case the kinds nnd quantities
of commodities avnllnble. will be pre
pared from tlmo to time for distribu
tion to city nnd town patrons who wish
to buy farm produce direct.
Housewives need have no hesitancy
In ordering their goods direct, from the
producer, in tho eyes of tho postal of
ttclals, who cite the fraud laws as n
guarantee. Complnlnts of swindling
would be Investigated immediately by
the postotllce Inspectors, nnd the pro
ducer, if guilty, would bo punished.
This scheme will eliminate the mid
dlemen, often two or three for n sin
plo article, it Is said, and thus enable
tho purchaser to buy much more
cheaply. Government experts, after
recent Investigations, held that tho
middlemen nisj tho ones who nro keep
ing the prices of foodstuffs so high.
No More Going to Market.
"By tho use of the printed lists of
producers the city consumer will bo
able to get in touch with a fnrmer
who will fill hla weekly orders for but
ter nnd eggs and other farm produce,"
snld Daniel C. Itoper, first nsslstnnt
postmaster general, "The consumer
will receive the produco fresh from the
country, nnd the personnl relationship
established will no doubt tend to Im
prove the quality. Tho farmer will bo
relieved of carrying his produco to
market, ns the rural carrier will make
daily collections at tho farmer's own
door.
"The point has been raised that dif
ficulty will bo experienced In the re
turn of hampers and other containers.
This problem does not nppcar to me to
bo dllllcult of solution. The fnrmer
may use Inexpensive hampers whose
value would not warrant their return,
or ho may uso the higher grade ham
pers., for which he may include nn ad
ditional charge to bo credited to tho
consumer upon tho return of the ham
per by parcel tost.
"Tho postmaster general has the firm
conviction that this plan Is the one
thing necessary to enable the people
of thbi country to enjoy tho iwtentlal
benefits of the parcel post No one
tins ever questioned the possibility of
reducing the cost of living by estab
lishing direct relatlous between the
ultimate consumer and the original
producer."
Gjntlemen of Leisure.
One of the tipper ten thousand, once
visiting America, accepted the hospi
tality of n gentleman In New York.
When taking farewell of his hot the
latter nsked Iilm what he thought of
the American people.
"Well," answered the nobleman, -"I
like them immensely, but I miss some
thing."
"Whnt is that?" asked tho Yankee.
"I miss the aristocracy," replied the
CiiKllxhmnu.
"What nro they?" naively anted his
uftsl.
"The aristocracy!" snld tho noble
man in il souiowlijit surprised tone of
voice. "Why, they nro pooplo who do
nothing, you know; whoso fathers did
untiling, you know; whose grandfathers
did nothing, you know In fact, tho

An old soldier, telling how nervous

"It looked to mo as If there was
something very much olive in thnt

would, clnsp ids baud over It nnd I
could hear stifled noises from the
depths of the pocket that made mo
suspicious. Tho lieutenant heard them,
too, for twice ,ho turned round nnd
looked fierce enough to eat us.
"By nnd by, when Piper was off his
guard, the thing poked Its. bead out
far enough to screech: 'Cut! Cu'
riper he squelched the second cuf
cut it in two. you might say, but the
lieutenant henrd something and ho
looked round'and shouted, 'Silence In

"The men near Piper snickered, but
nothing more happened till tho order
came down the line to shift our guns
to the right shoulder. Then, of course.

minute he let go of his pocket out
scrambled ns mad a pullet ns you ever
saw, and when she'd flopped on to tho
ground she scurried nway, screeching,
'Cut! cut! cah-dab-cutl' at the top of
tocr lungs. Well, the captain couldn't
help bearing that, and nnturally ho
looked baclt to see what the row was,
und when he saw what had happened
ho sung out nt the top of his voice:
" 'Corporal Davis, take three men
nnd bring back that deserter!'
