The very word suggests old New England farmhouses, rolling fields of stacked corn enclosed in snake-rail fences, old-fashioned —surreys overloaded with hungry folks on the way to a record-breaking dinner at _grandpa’s place in the country. The era of skyscrapers, automobiles and radios seems to fit. fe that used to be simple has vn complex. Haste has replaced leisure. Restless desire has pushed contentment to the wall. The sim- plicity that brought Thanksgiving into being as a heartfelt rite has given way to a hustle and bustle wherein the day is simply an oc- casion for football games and hearty dinners. + So some of us, as the Indian sum- mer haze drifts over the countryside avith its age-old harbinger of autumn plenty and rest, look back Mather longingly to the days that used to be. We feel that if life had fewer conveniences then it also had fewer ‘Annoyances; that people, somehow, were better off, happier, richer in the ‘things that count. e talk about “the good old days” with a sort of bogret. I right; why not look into the matter? Just how good were those “good old days”? Have the passing years really brought us new things to be thankful for, or is Thanksgiv- ing nowadays a bit of a joke? Let’s see how the average man’s lot in the old days compares with his lot in the year 1928. i is is the The average man—which means you and me and the rest of us-h: work for his living. And it grettable fact. that a man’s happines depends very largely on the condi tions under which he does his w —his hours, his rate of pay, his abil- ity to better himself, and so on. Now these “good old days,” when, according to tradition, a five-dollar bill would keep a family in groceries for 30 days, and a good house could be had for an annual rent no greater than it would bring a month nowa- days, were far from perfect in these respects, Mark Twain said that Fenimore Cooper’s Indians belonged to extinct tribe that never ex- i The “good old days” when the workingman was in clover were, similarly, days that never dawned. When Thomas Jefferson was writ ing of sacred and inalienable rights, the papers were carrying advertise- ments asking for the return of run- away apprentices. Slaves were held in every colony. Indentured servants, a scant step above them. were com- mon. The workingman never dreamed of calling himself inde- ferear poless, by a lucky stroke, e could lay hands on a bit of farm land or a fishing smack of his own, But you don’t need to carry your researches back to colonial times to find that the “good old days” had their shady side. In May, 1851, the carpenters of Philadelphia were on strike. They were getting $1.50 a day and were demanding $1.75. Conservative cit- izens were horrified at such swollen greed. It was freely predicted that such wages would demoralize the whole working class. Horace Greeley, of the New York Tribune, decided’ to investigate. He figured out the weekly expenses of a car- penter with a wife and three chil- dren, and got the following figures: Flour, 62 cents; sugar, 32 cents; butter, 62 cents; mil meat, $1.40; potatoes, 50 cents; tea and coffee, 2 cents; candles and oil, 14 cents; fuel 40 cents; household articles, 25 cents; bedding, 20 cents; rent, $3;. clothes, $2; newspapers, 12 cents; sundries, 40 cents. This totaled $10.37. If the car- penter worked six days a week, hi he old pay scale, ‘would be just $1.37 shy of this; under the new scale, he would have a mar- gin of 13 cents a week, out of which ro"Senng ane aay Fai 2 ‘al : Fair tonight; ‘and torts Del portion.

As a consequence, demand for fresh goods has been relieved and the light vals of fresh have been suf: very close to the low point for the season, but numerous traders are predicting a sizable increase late this month or in early December.

Argen- tine crop advices were a little more to rain where needed in the drought sections to the south. Wheat bears here derived an advantage, too, in the late dealings as a result of corn weakness and of continued slackness of export demand today for wheat from North America: Wheat closed unsettled, %c to % @%c net lower, (Dec. 1.15%; March 1.20%@%; May 1.23%).

Among the factors tending to up- hold wheat values here today was an estimate that the 1928 wheat crop of Australia, which is now beginning to be harvested, will total but 150,000,000 bushels. This amount is lower than early unofficial figures.
