Things To Think About 
A Square Deal for the Hired Man 
There is a matter I would like to see 
discussed in The R. N.-Y.. if it is worthy 
of such, and that is in relation to the 
treatment of the hired man who works for 
certain wages, including “board" in the 
family or farm home. As I have had 
some experience myself in this capacity, 
and recently our son has had similar ex¬ 
perience. both cases being very different 
from anything either of us had ever seen 
elsewhere. I wondered if the scarcity of 
help for the farm was not to some extent 
of its own making, aside from the com¬ 
petition and higher wages paid in the 
cities and towns. Many a man would 
prefer to work on the farm rather than 
take confining work in mills or the life in 
cities and towns, hut there are matters 
to be considered on both sides. There are 
many instances where the “hired man” is 
of just as good family as the farmer lie 
goes to work for. and as far as circum¬ 
stances are concerned, the hired man may 
often he in better financial condition than 
the man lie works for. so that making 
either of these an excuse for showing his 
superiority over his hired man may not 
always fit. There may he others who 
kick on having poor fare or accommoda¬ 
tions even when they are the same as 
others are having with whom lie lives or 
works, but what gets me is having to put 
up with such when at the same table the 
man I am working for has one end of the 
table with good food and nice things, 
while the other end where the hired men 
sit has what is handy. 
During the past few years when thou¬ 
sands or millions of us were saving sugar, 
white flour and the like by the teaspoon¬ 
ful in order that others across the seas 
might live and have more, we did not 
mind it or make any kick until we found 
that the brewers were wasting sugar by 
the carload and grain by the trainload. 
If a man is not willing that his hired man 
shall eat at the same table the same food as 
he and his family have, than the time has 
come that lie hire by the day. let the hired 
man board himself, or let him hoard else¬ 
where. is the way it has seemed to me. 
To get out at 5 a m. by the new time, 
do the chores, helping to milk included, 
then go into breakfast with the boss, sit 
down to a cold breakfast, in cold, stormy 
weather, not a mouthful of anything 
warm excepting coffee, which even a hired 
man cannot always stand, while a nice 
meal is being prepared in the same or 
adjoining room for the family after the 
hired man goes out to work, the boss wait¬ 
ing in the meantime until the hired man is 
through, is not a treatment that makes 
for a feeling of interest in the work 
I have been at a farmer’s table where 
the nicest cut of meat was placed on his 
son’s plate close by his side at his end of 
the table, while the hired man, further 
down, had the scraps, the marrow out of 
the bones, or whatever came handy passed 
on to him. and have seen the next person 
at the left, a member of the family, hav¬ 
ing canned peaches and cream, while T. 
as the hired man. had some cheap sauce. I 
The cheap sauce may have been all rivht 
when all hands had the same, but when 
the conditions were as they were, and 
where the farmer keeps two ends to the 
table, the one with family fare, the other 
with cheaper, rougher stuff for the hired 
men, if that farmer has hard time to keep 
help, is it fair to say that the high wages 
in the city are to blame for it? I don’t 
mind working on the cold side of the barn I 
when the rest of the folks are working 
there, too. and I don’t mind plain fare 
with the rest, hut if I am wrong in my 
opinions would he glad to he shown the 
right way. hired man. 
This is the first response to our sugges¬ 
tion that the hired man state his ease. 
We have worked out as hired man and , 
we now employ labor and thus ought to 
know something about it. This hired 
man has a real grievance. When a man 
of good family, clean and respectable, 
works on a farm, he is entitled to as good 
food and accommodation as the rest of the 
family receive. 
A Friend of Burleson 
What the people of this country need 
right now is efficient mail service at rea¬ 
sonable cost, and if your people will 
throw aside their prejudices and parti¬ 
sanship long enough for the new carriers 
to have time to learn their routes, I be¬ 
lieve Mr. Burleson will give it to you. 
If they want to turn this country over to 
the Bolsheviki and anarchists, just hire 
a private mail carrier for every farmer 
that happens to have a “pull” and give 
every partisan that happens to be out of 
work a job carrying it. The war just 
over has to be paid for. and if Mr. Burle¬ 
son can arrange routes so two men can 
do the work of three nine months of the 
year and give some substitute steady work 
as extra the other three, thus saving one 
man’s work nine months at $125 per 
month out of every three routes in the 
United States, I say Mr. Burleson is the 
men the people need, even though a few 
do miss a paper occasionally. The people 
must educate themselves to a broader 
view of things if they wish to perpetuate 
this, the best government on earth. Over¬ 
taxation will discourage any people. 
Easy to Make up Jell-O 
For making the newest things in 
desserts and salads, Jell-0 is being 
used by the best cooks as well as by 
women in millions of homes who do 
all of the work about the house as 
well as the cooking. 
Cooks use Jell-0 because it is more 
satisfactory than anything else for 
the finest desserts and salads. 
Women generally use 
first of all, because better things can 
be made of it, at the price, than 
anything else. 
In wealthy homes Jell-0 is popular 
because it is too good to go without. 
In homes of people of moderate 
means it is a part of the noon-day or 
evening meal regularly for the rea¬ 
son that it costs only a few cents 
and can be made up into the most 
delicious and beautiful desserts and 
other dishes by any woman, cook or 
no cook. 
Jell-0 is sold in all grocery stores 
and general stores everywhere in 
America. There are six different 
fruit flavors: Raspberry, Straw¬ 
berry, Lemon, Orange, Cherry, 
Chocolate. 
The new Jell-0 Book describes 
new Jell-0 salads, "whips,” knick- 
knacks, and dainties of almost un¬ 
limited variety. Recipes for every¬ 
day salads and desserts are given 
first place in it, and particularly the 
new things in fruity Jell-0 desserts.
