WAGES GOING DOWN The low price of things generally is being felt.these days by laboring people. The City Council has reduced the daily wages of the street force from $3.00 per day to $2.50, and a further cut is scheduled for Japuary 1st. A carpenter who has been receiving $6.50 by the day has reduced his price to $5.00 per day. He may still reduce. The fact is that jobs are going 10 be hard to find unless there is an improvement in the general outlook, which will mean not only lower wages for the people who work, but nonemployment for those who have been accustomed to collect wages and do little or no work. The day of the loafer is about gone, that is the man who loafs on his job is going to be without a job. There will be plenty of people who cannot find work and who will thus be forced to loaf.

PUTS HIMSELF RIGHT Farmer Andy Milford, who has been keeping up with affairs by reading The Leading Qounty Paper, decided to practice a little economy about the first of the month,vand allowed his subscription to expire. Consequently he failed to get his paper last week, and this has entailed a train of evil consequences. For one thing when he went in eventide he found the wife a little out of sorts, talking about how much better the country would be run by the suffragettes than by the trifling men, tre children a little unruly and the mules iriven to kicking down the troughs ip the stables at night. He phoned every night to a neighbor and found that ?otton was still going down, and then discovered that his crop was not turning out as he had exDected. Finally one of the cold rainy nights we have been having the cow got out and when Andy went to drive her in he hung the seat of his new pair of pants on a barbed wire?well, you know the rest. That accounts for his visit to the village today and for the fact that he renewed his subscription and went heme happy and looking for better things.

OPPOSED TO TREATY ; EXCLUDING ALL JAPS Believes Washington Will Be Able To Stop California Measure Tokio, Nov. 16.?Marquis Okuma, former Japanese premier addressing a meeting today, strongly attacks the plan to exclude Japanese from America by treaty. He pointed out that hitherto immigration was restricted under a voluntary agreement because it was realized that restriction was prejudicial to ' Japan's prestige. The present effort to make restriction statuary, he said was an act of infidelity to Japanese-American friendship. The former premier believed that Washington would be able to stop California measures by enlisting public opinion of the whole cduntry. If Japan's appeals to America's sense of international morality failed, the speaker continued, only force remained. Japan sincerely desired a solution of* the problem, he concluded, fearing that otherwise the question would :ead up to an outburst of self-sacrificing psftrio* tism for which the Japanese people are noted.
