Because of this desertion the farmer is sorely perplexed as to how to get the farm work done. Few are spry enough to do all of the work on a 200-acre farm. 3 The only satisfactory solution to the problem a farmer who happens to own a number of places, said the other day, is to increase the rate of wages to the young men so as to make the work an ob- ject. “I am now paying $60 and $65 a month to farm hands, exclusive of board, room, washing and mending,” this practical man said. “As I see it, more pay to\farm employes also means higher prices for our products, and that we want- ed to get: away from.” Even the great strides in farm machinery im- provement has not succeeded in completely doing away with the human element as so finely ex- pressed in the farm hand. He is still to be reck- oned with. And he is a scarce, though absolutely necessary, article. Evidently the Kapp government wore a fool’s cap. ‘ THE SPRING DRIVE ; The great spring drive is under way—carrying all defenses beforg it. Sounds like the spring of 1918, but it isn’t. Nor has Ludendorff any part in it. But it’s just as savage, just as well-prepared and far more suc- ‘cessful than the one he let loose. | It’s the drive of the landlords, this spring. Leases have a way of expiring in the and fall, thé favorite moving seasons. And, throughout the country, hard-pressed ten- ants are crying out against increases in rents which make all previous boosts seem insignificant —just,'as Ludendorff’s spring drive . in ; 1918 dwarfed all his former efforts. i} ‘In 1918 Uncle Sam was, rushing reserves into the breach ; but this spring he’s standing listlessly by, while the thin and\battered line~stretching between pay-day and pay- -day is straining till it nears the breaking point. There seems to be no hope of relief under pres- ent conditions. In spite of increased building, the housing situation is becdming more desperate in’ most cities. With a ‘woefully inadequate supply of homes, the landlord. keeps tenant bidding against tenant till unheard-of rents are being se- cured, ; The housing question is ‘one of the most seri- ous in America—and not one constructive, large- scale attempt to meet it has been made. ing ‘If all else fails, the Senate might try a ouija board. If Colby’s mind can go along with Wilson’s and yet please the senate, it isn’t a single-track mind. Very likely Ebert’s experience as a. saddle- maker taught him a few things about staying in one. If Germany desires a billion of credit in this country, perhaps she will offer our notes as col- lateral. The kaiser can preserve the old atmosphere by standing before his mirror each morning and giv- ing three rousing cheers for himself. | The kaiser wasn’t damned, in spite of universal wishing, but perhaps being Doorned will be just as satisfactory. y It is reported that Americans are trying to buy the Hindenburg statue’ They simply took the Hindenburg line. The department of justice says living wouldn’t be so high if people would buy cheaper things. It must grieve Solomon to think that he overlooked this gem of wisdom.

And so if one knows some one who knows some one who thinks he may move, one is in luck, And he gets the name and address of the landlord and camps on his trail. ‘ Yes, the tenant may move. The rent was $40, but it’s to be $50, beginning April 1. Children? Land, no, one doesn’t rent to families having chil- dren. It simply isn’t done! No, one couldn’t think of papering or painting this spring. Maybe next, if prices come down. Uh-huh—six rooms and a bath. Butvone room is a four by six-foot cubbyhole, maybe. Yes, strictly modern in every respect, “except furnace.” But, hah, hah, one does not care for a furnace in the summer, does one? No children! What is going to become of the people in this world if renters are to be albwed no children?

MATING-TIME One and a quarter million women in the British Isles are expected to leave the homeland to go to], the British colonies. The Salvation Army is aid- ing the movement. There is a great excess of women over men in Britain. This has been accen- tuated by the war. Spinsterhood or emigration is the choice these women have. A great many of them are choosing emigration. They are not going—like the women in the early days of Amer- ican colonization—to be put up at auction as brides for the settlers. They. are not going—like the Japanese picture brides of today—to meet men already, their husbands. Not many of them are going for the conscious reason that they want husbands. But that is the real underlying reason. It is the fundamental urge for mating that will take these women overseas. And the Salvation Army is proud of its job. “We offer no apology for active propaganda designed to procure a better distribution of the sexes,” says the commissioner ofthe army engaged in this work. “One of the biggest after-the-war tasks assigned the Salva- tion Army in Britain is to stimulate emigration of women and direct it to those colonies in-the British empire where there are more men than women.” For the exceptional woman, a career may take |the place of wifehood and motherhood; for the great majority.of women, thanks to the primal urge of evolutionary tendencies, to want and seek a mate is as necessary to her own nature as it is to the welfare of the race. ’ The cables assert'that Havana is full of visitors.

Howat, president of the miners, “that Kansas s mits of this character, it i ion of time wdntil this same law will be used to destroy the organized labor movement through- out the country. The miners will fight it to a finish.” But, take note, labor is already calling for help much more often thar capital. “This is the first time,” wrote HH. W. Wendele, vice president of the International Brotherheod of Station- ary Firemen arid Oilers, which: ap- pealed against all the railroads in. the state for a wage increase, “that we have ever had an entire unbiased board to which we could appeal.” And friends of the law point. out that the February. mine\payrolls in the Pittsburg district were the largest ever paid in any month, The mes ence of the law. they/claim, stop- ped strikes for trivial reasons ; while In .the’ nine months: previous’ to. its pasgage there had been 364 miuers’ strikes in Kansas., There are others’ besides labor organizations who do not like the law.
