Farm Hands Better Off Than Train
Crews.
The railroads are appealing to the
farmer to the effect that "What
would the farmer think of his hands
who wanted an eight hour day at ten
hours' pay?" 4
The farmer knows that farm wages
have increased in recent years and
the farmer also knows that the great
bulk of his produce is consumed by
the wage-earner in cities large and
small. Farmers also know that their
prosperity is dependent upon the con?
sumption of their product by the la?
boring class and not by the Wall
Street crowd.
The farm hand of today gets three
times as much pay as did bis brother
who was yoked up with the ox. The
farm hand has had his pay raised
from two hundred to five hundred per
cent, in the past fifteen years and any
real farmer can settle the pay ques?
tion for himself if he will remember
when he could get a good hand for
$10.00 % month and found." The
fact of the matter is that the farm
hand has progressed to a much great?
er extent than the majority of rail?
road men think. Money wages t'.o not
always tell the story of what a man
earns. The farm worker Is better off
with his lower pay and "found" than
the city worker with a higher wage
but who must buy everything.
The railroads show the high Wages
paid the r men. Let the farmer un?
derstand that the high paid man is
not to profit by this proposed move?
ment for a shorter work day. He has
it now. It is the low-paid man, who
is the typical man who will profit once
the roads make better time with their
drag freights than they do now. A
fair estimate is that hot more than
one-third of the four hundred thou?
sand train service employes will re?
ceive a cent abbve wHat they now
earn if the shorter work day Is adopt

THE MOTHER OF TODAY.
She Resembles Her Children Much
More Than Her Mother.
(W. L>. George, in Harper's Magazine.)
The mother of today, the formed
woman of about 35, has made a great
leap and resembles her children much
more than she does her mother. Her
offspring do not say, "What is home
without a mother? Peace, perfect
peace." She is a little too conspicuous,
perhaps; she has turned her back
rather rudely upon her mother's pur?
suits, such as tea and scandal, and has
taken too virulently to lectures on
evolution and proteid. She is too vivid,
like a/ newly painted railing, but, like
the railing, she wll tone down. She
pretends to be very socialistic or very
fast; on the whole, she affects rathSr
the fast style. We must not complain.
Is not brown paint in the dining room
worse than pink paint on the face?
