The Seattle Star 13 months, Will the farmer adopt the eight-hour system? This is a subject that has been considerably mooted re- , especially since the prices of foodstuffs have chased ves higher. i : The farming economists, professors in agricultural col- generally think that the eight-hour day will never in the country places. Or if it does, it is at best a ibility of the very distant future. It would be impos- they say, to set a time for beginning or quitting the of the farm. All sorts of things, like the weather con- ns and the seasons of the year, influence the farmer in work. Eight hours a day at most times of the year) d not get the absolutely necessary farm work done, mers will work from daylight to dark during the hay-| geason or at threshing time in order to get their crops in while the weather is good. If 5 o'clock were quitting) Hime, they would run the risk of having part of the crop) “Then, too, the farmer is working for himself, and by| * shorter hours for farmers in general, he shortens} ‘own hours, lessens the amount of work he can do, and) es his income that much without benefiting any! ” remarks Prof. Hibbard of the agricultural department in university. _ Professor Hibbard thinks also that there is no probability @ successful union movement among farm hands, since, larger majority of farm laborers are neighborhood boys | are ambitious to have farms of their own in 10 years, are willing to work toward that end.

Definitely. Up till now there have been doubts. The Germans, of course, were licked, but they didn’t seem to know it. And the gen- | eral sentiment in the allied countries was that the war stopped too soon. We were just getting good and ready. We were finally ad- justed to war and prepared to go on with | it for years. In fact, we rather liked it. We were en- joying a debauch of national unity, every- body was for the U. S. A. and so many ers and poor workmen at home were get- ting fabulous wages for doing nothing. Then all of a sudden there came the Armistice. It hit us as a baseball hits a | batter in the solar plexus. We were groggy for a spell. | We thought at first, of course, that we | ought to be happy and rejoice because the cruel war was over. But we had got going so hard we could | not stop. We simply had to go on fighting. The Germans having run away, we began fighting each other. | Senators began to scrap.

The devil was to pay generally, and right in the heat of it all they closed up the saloons and we had no beer glasses in which to weep nor fri red-eye wherewith to slake our wrath. Russia threw a fit. Hungary, Poland, Esthonia, Italy, Czecho-Slovakia, boiled up. D’Annunzio, Trotsky, Kolchak and others did their respective war dances age to their lights in those places where Pr dence and bull luck had placed them.
