FARM LABOR
Increased from $10.43 In 1870
to $ 1 7 In 1 OOO-Muy Tend
to Hold Men On
Farms,
. Statistics gathered from the federal
government's reports show that the
nvernge prices paid fartii labor since
3879 huve risen considerably. . For the
5ear, or season, tho monthly money
fate paid farm labor for tho different
census perluls was 110.43 in 1879,
113.29 in 1S93. $12.02 In-1895, and in
creasing to $17 in 1900.
George K. Holmes, In' -Volume 33,
No. 2 of tho 1909 annals of the Ameri
can Academy of Social Science, speaks
of this wage us follows: "Tho expres
sions of farm wages in money and
us a rate ia very misleading and is
probably one of the most powerful
causes of the dissatisfaction of the
laborer and of his migration to higher
nominal money rates of wages in
town and city. The farm laborer re
ceives some things besides money In
return for his labor. More or less in
local practice there nro wngo pay
ments which tako tho form of bonus
es, such as house rent, or the use of
n garden plot, or pasturage for a cow,
or milk for the daily use of tho fina
lly, or firewood, or feed for a hog or
two, or the use of horse and wagon
for family pleasure on certain days.
Then there Is the low cost of living In
the farm laborer's favor as compared
wlth the cost which ho would find in
.the city, which makes his money
wages much larger in fact thnn the
rates Indicate. This fact, however, has
no weight with the farm laborer and
f;t not perceived by him.
"These failures to percelvo and to
understand the full fact with regard

wages than during the many years of

Whero li the Dog Kept?
Nothing so annoys or makes a dog
ugly, snappish and uncomfortable as
chaining him within a limited space
Constantly and vainly endeavoring to
get free, tho dog's disposition in a
short timo changes and ho grows al
most useless on tho farm, says Fnrm
Journal. It's true that a good dog In
she of a dwelling 3 worth two out
sldo whero acquaintance with passers
by is easily made, and would-be rob
bers have opportunity easily to fix the
animal; but a reliable barn dog is
best employed in running about, keep
ing order, watching the stock and
prepared to alarm the household when
strangers appear. Such a dog is a
safeguard against pilferers; but
chained to a kennel his efforts are
hampered and he la nbsolutely worth
less as a watchdog and a perpetual
trouble and nuisance to bis owner.
Advantage In Geese.
One advantago In keeping gocRe is
thnt they live to a great age, 25 to 40
years, and are breeders till ten years
of ago. If you can porperly handle
a small flock of geese on the farm
their feathers will prove a great Item
in household economy In making pll
lows and other articles for which
feathers are utied. They can live on
an vvyjn diet of grass ta summer

THERE are three leading shapes. Bliown in many modifications and vari
ations, upon which millinery for tho fast-coming winter season is manly
built. A single example of each one Is shown in our Illustrations. There
. .i Mre ,. 8lle and thc bnck ro11 stvl0B cf briin- and ,llere 'a the smart and
cnic small round hat or turban. The first style with brim much widened
and crown more or less heightened becon es the picture hat. The back mil
brim g shown in hnts of medium size and tho turban is developed by height
ening tho crown into the "Cossack" and even Into the "drum major" styles.
At the very first glance the hnts pictured appeal to us as more beautiful
and more becoming than anything we have had for several seasons past. A
closer etudy convinces us that our first impression Is correct. The shape,
In the first place, fits the head as easily a3 a man's hat. They do no envelope
us. fairly concealing tho face, nor are they perched precariously on top of
the head, as If about to take advantage of their wings to fly away. This good
fit makes the wobbly hat a thing of the past, and once prorerly adjusted and
pinned to place, we can be reasonably sure that they will not slip Into an
undignified if not rakish looking pose.
The trimming for each of these hats is well chosen and substantial to
begin with, elegant and beautiful to end with. In No. 1 the velvet covered
hat has a brim upturned In the back and what Is known as the "collar
edge" in front and sides. The shape is of plain velvet. It is draped with vel
vet (the light Paon silk vnriojy) and trimmed with natural wings. These
will stand any amount of wear and are t be had in nil colors. A band orna
ment of gunmetal or other beads finishes tho decoration. In addition to
fitting well, this hat fulfills all tho requirements of good millinery when It fs
well made. It affords a protection to the head and eyes and It Is more than
becoming It Is really flattering. It Is said that the test of perfection in
millinery Is this: the wearer should look better with than without her hat.
In more than nine cases out of ten this model w ill be found to stand the test.
A very clegaBt model is shown in No. 2. It is of fine beaver felt with
trimming of shirred ribbon and a wreath of roses. The ribbon is shirred on
light wires and cleverly draped over the crown. Tho semi-wreath Is of roses
made of a very high luster rllk and velvet having a metallic appearance.
They are shaded in tones to harmonize with the hat. Every winter we find
flowers growing more popular as a trimming for cold weather headwear.
They are fashioned to look aa If meant for wintry weather and if chosen for
dress hats will prove worthy the happy greeting they have received from
women. Although not aa desirable as natural wings and quills, they will
last a season out. This hat is especially flno In the catawba shades and In
bronze browns and olive green.
A pretty Paris turban in which the designer has deigned to take note of
serviceability as well as beauty Is shown in No. 3. There are draped tur
bans of many kinds to choose from. This one has a crown of Dresden silk
In which a fascmntlng play of color Is introduced. The brim or coronet is
made of velvet which terminates nt the left in an Irregular rosette or chou.
A big cabochon of Jet forms a side decoration. Oue may have an additional
aigrette or fancy fenther. The silk liber grasses are graceful and a satis
factory substitute where there ia an objection to the aigrette. This turban
admits of almost any variety of fenther trimming at tho Bide and nothing is
handsomer than three ostrich half plumes. Unless a good quality is used,
however, a fancy feather Is to be preferred.
She who chooses any one of the three hats shown here may rest assured
that there is nothing better In the line of practical and elegant millinery.
The picture hat and the distinctly tailored hat aro not of this kind and
require separate description.

Just now three blues that are most

GARNITURES IN TWO FORMS
Seed Pearls Worked Upon Chiffon or
Insertion Valenciennes Lace
Is Liked.
Ono of the very newest garnitures
consists of seed pearls, pearl beads
and tiny clear beads worked upon
chiffon all-over or insertion. The in
sertion is $10 a yard and one of the
pearl collars costs no less than $16.
Its richness cannot be appreciated un
til one sees the material itself. The
smallest clear beads Imaginable are
used on milky white chiffon, there be
ing just enough glitter to make the
trimming very rich in appearance.
Valenciennes laco again comes to
the fore in trimming of satin over
skirts. In many Instances it is slightly
gathered, especially where there are
loops and graceful curves. Tho ma
terial is cut from beneath and this
softens the Bklrt very much. Many
laco pieces are used on the corsago to
define more closely the culrasse
bodice, which Is a handsome feature
of the season's best drosses.
The Leather Belt.
According to notes from Paris, the
simple leather belt Is going to come
into its own again, ns soon as ever
thore Is visible a waist line which it
may inclose.

ANOTHER civilization, gauged
by other moral standards,
restrained, or unrestrained,
of other laws and codes, has
for many years existed In
New Yrrk under the eyes
nnrt noses of that city's people nnd
their ofliclals. In this sphere men and
women have moved like the flotsam
In an eddy, against tho stream of the
world without. The secret rules of
the order provided the only known es
cape from the arm of the nation's
law; they made men socuro In tho
commission of atrocities and veiled
the existence of a set of moral condi
tions almost beyond comprehension;
certainly past momentary tolerance.
Over the whole was a hectic fila
ment of romance and morbid Interest
which appeared to the chance passer
or the sightseer to make the place a
curiously fascinating corner trans
planted from another world far too
original and alluring to be removed.
They called It Chinatown. It Is no
place; it is no street in particular,
though it has Its center and Its boun
daries. It is rather a degenerate state
of the senses.
New Yorkers know of it, of course,
In a dim sort of way. Now and then
here was a brawl, a killing of some
Oriental or an opium den raid. These
were matters of course. No one gave
them more than passing attention.
Today, however, New York knows
Chinatown in its true perspective. The
Elsie Slgel murder was the first rift
in the cloud that obscured the fact.
Now the mist itself ia dissipated. New
York knows that Chinatown the
spirit, not the place is ono of its
cruel, almost unthinkable problems.
The latest outrage In Chinatown a
place that brews outrages faster than
a quagmire hatches mosquitoes is the
abduction of a pretty mill girl of
Weehawken and her Imprisonment in
a Chinese den, where she was sub
jected to horrifying cruelties.
This most recent unfortunate Is
Christina 'Draun, 15 years old, blue
eyed and inclined to be Just a llttie
"wild." Christina's case differs from
that of hundreds of other girls who
have fallen victim to the lures of Chi
natown only in the fact that she had
the good fortuno to escape before Bho
became a slave to opium the su
preme evil of this moat vicious hole in
all the vast metropolis.
The girl went to Coney Island with
some friends on a Sunday. She lost
her companions In the crowd and,
finally, after wandering about for a
time, went Into a chop suey "joint" to
get a bite to eat. There she was
drugged, and the next thing she re
members she was being carried
through the labyrinthal hallway to a
Chinatown den.
The girl fought desperately to get
away from two Chlneso who were
dragging her along tho floor of the
dark hnll, but she was beaten into In
sensibility. When she next recov
ered consciousness she was In a dim
ly lighted room and a hideous China
man was leaning over her, leering into
her face.
Again the girl screamed and fought
to get out of the place, but was
knocked senseless. Hetween beatings
Bhe was made to understand that she
was the slave of her captor and that
the best thing she could do would bo
to remain quiet. But devious, dark nnd
dirty as Chlntown is, news will travel
there, and the girl had not been In the
den more thnn 24 hours before a
"lobbygow" a Chinaman who acts as
stool pigeon and inforaier for tho po
nce toia two AiuiDerry street detec
tives that there was a white girl pris
oner somewhere in the colony.
The men set watch and. after a
time, succeeded in starving out and
capturing Joo Wong, an Americanized
Chinese gambler. The girl was found
in Wong's room, her face so bruised
that ln.r friends had difficulty In rec
ognizing her when they visited her at
the headquarters of the Gerry society.
Wong was lacked up in tho Tombs
but ho probably will get out of the
Bcrape on the ground thnt the girl
willingly accompanied him to his lair.
A regularly organized traffic in
white and Chinese girl slaves exists In
Chlnntown and every detective who
has worked in that section knows It
now.
It Is true that scores of women fall
prey to the Chinese every year by first
visiting Chinatown on slumming and
sight seeing trips. Others are attracted
there by the gaudy taleB about how
kind nnd gentle the Chinese aro to
women; how well they clotho them
laMHSHM .' urn
I fctf ni j'3 1
CtOOKCO UTTLE COYfiJ T!T "
and how liberal they are with money.
These rales also are nearly all fakes.
Anyone who has ever seen a real "hop
Joint" in Chinatown will never forget
the dirt and degradation of it. Some
of the wealthier Chinese have apart
ments that are fitted up in flashy ori
ental style, and a few of tho gambling
houses are well furnished. . Three or
four of the restaurants malntly pat
ronized by Bight-seers are gaudy In
the extreme, but back behind all this,
back beyond tho tunnels, In the
kitchens, the living quarters and up
under the roofs of the tottering old
buildings, exist squalor and misery
such as can scarce be found elsewhere
on this continent.
The pitiful Btory of Moy You and
Ngeu Fung, two little Chinese girls,
ia enough to set the hand of all the
world against the slave traders of
Chinatown.
These girls were Bold It Is believed
by the police to Chinese slave trad
ers In China and smuggled into this
country. They fell Into tho clutches
of a Chinese merchant of some means
In Chlnntown and their tale of the
cruelties to which they were subject
ed was brought to the attention of the
Chinese charge d'affaires in Washing
ton. The girls are in the hands of the
Gerry society. They declare that
they were compelled to work 20 hours
a day at cooking, cleaning, scrubbing
and covering button molds and that
they were beaten almost every day.
Reading of these outrages the aver
age American wonders why the perpe
trators aro not sent to prison, but it
must be remembered that there are no
men more wily nnd skillful in con
cocting false evidence than dishonest
Americanized Chinese. It Is next to
impossible to obtain evidence against
the slave traders of Chinatown that
will stand in a court of Justice. To
begin with any Chinese witness who
dares testify against one of his coun
trymen in New York takes his life In
his hand. The boldness of the China
town slave trader is almost beyond
belief. When the police of the entire
country were searching for the mur
derer of Elslo Sigel no fewer than
three Chinese who were supposed to
know something of the crime were
murdered. When the police tried to
obtain evidence against men they
strongly suspected of the murders
they were baffled at every turn.
Capt. Calvin of the police depart
ment, who is in charge of the precinct
embracing Chinatown, has worked
hard to "clean up" the place and drive
tho white women out of it, but his
efforts have been of little avail.' He
has come to the conclusion that the
"town" needs "cleaning out" instead
of "cleaning up," and has recommend
ed this action to Commissioner Baker.
If Galvln had his way he would
keep slumming nnd Bight-seeing par
ties out of Chinatown. Tho "rubber
neck" wagon often is the net that
drags tho Innocents to the dens.
Taught How to Prepare Lunch.
Simmons college, Boston, la Bald to
bo the only place in this country
where women enn bo trained to plan
nnd mnnage lunchrooms. The demand
for such training is reported to have
more than trebled during the laat two
years, as more and more cities and
school boards are realizing tho neces
slty of providing working' glrla nnd
boys nnd school children with health
ful midday meals.
In Boston tho Women's Educntlonnl
and Industrial union ro-operntes with .

agrees to provide tho room, equipment

women who manage these lunchrooms
$5 a week and their helpers $3. They
