I sometimes think I should like to go to 
that lonely graveyard, tear down that 
leaning headstone and put a monument 
at Sarah's grave. I would have this line 
carved on it: “She hath done what .she 
could.” Yet what would be the use? 
Few would ever see such a monument, 
and they would nor get the message. And 
some cynic would come along and say: 
“What of it? What she did hardly 
amounted to anything!"'

with the smart tricks which students

with the rival college! What more could 
one ask for? lie came home. To help

'' f, V * iere is his proposition :

once it. will mean dishonor and probably 
jail. I’ve got to have it, and you’ve got 
to sell your mortgage to raise it!" 
Out of her savings Sarah had bought

played his trump card. 
“Say what’s $.500?" I’ll earn that in a

league ball club. I pitch my first game 
next week. It will mean a $5,000 en¬ 
gagement. and then I'll fix you out right. 
Come. Sally, be a good sport.” 
And bally was a “sport ’ and gave him

and Hank went, because there Avasn’t

And three days later Henry appeared 
with a painted doll of a woman. 
This is my wife, he said. “TVe have 
come home to recuperate." 
That was about the end of the smart 
one's education. You will find him today

YN ell. this true Story is an extreme case, 
you will say. r am not so sure of that, 
but anyxvay if is typical of the tragedy 
winch is enacted in many a household I 
have been living by the side of the road 
ior many years, and I have seen a multi- 
tude pass by, some on their way to col¬ 
lege, some headed for jail, some for hap¬ 
piness, some for grief. And they have 
taught me these things about education 
.Never try to graft education on brains 
alone! Give character all the education 
it can stand. Never send a boy to col¬ 
lege who will not work and earn at least 
part of the cost, A hard head seldom 
The average man. and he represents the 
most of us. thinks of Avealth in terms 
of money. He forgets that money of 
itself lias little intrinsic value. It is 
simple a convenient medium through 
which he exchanges his labor and its 
products for other products Avhich he 
needs. lie is also very apt to think that 
if he receives a greater number of dollars 
for his labor than before lie is better off. 
The carpenter who iioav receives $0 a 
day who got (inly $4 before the Great 
War may think he has improved his 
condition, but if the costs of everything 
he has to buy. hats, shoes, clothing, rent, 
etc; have advanced 50 per cent, he is 
exactly where he Avas. The real meas¬ 
ure of the value of money is not its quan¬ 
tity but its purchaxing power, its power 
of exchange. 
Ahvays and everywhere, in the long 
run through a course of years, there is a 
correspondence, under normal conditions 
for any particular place, between wages 
and the cost of living. If, in one place, 
prices of commodities and the necessaries 
of life are high, then wages will be high. 
11 on the other hand, in another place, 
commodities and necessaries jjre low. 
then wages will he 1 oav. No man will 
work for less than it Avill cost him to 
live; no employer will pay more than he 
can help, which means, in most instances, 
that he AA'ill endeavor to secure his labor 
for Avhat it costs the workman to live. 
This is the living Avage, which varies 
according to place and conditions. Groups 
of trades unionists are able, through their 
close organizations, to get, temporarily, 
compensation above this living wage, 
and for a time they benefit. But after 
Group A lias got higher Avages, Groups 
B, D and all the others, not to be 
outdone, get into the game and demand 
and get similar increases in wages. As 
the labor cost of the finished manu¬ 
factured article is, roughly speaking, 
about 75 to SO per cent of its selling 
price, if follows that the increased labor 
cost Avill be reflected, all r>f it, in the price 
the consumer pays. Therefore, as all 
producers are also consumer, and all 
have to pay more for everything they 
buy than before, nobody has benefited 
and every man is exactly where lie was 
in the first place. It is like a man trying 
to lift himself by his boot straps. Home, 
by close thrift and self-denial, are able 
to save something, to save a larger num- 
her of dollars than they did before-—■ 
hence the increase in savings bank de¬ 
posits—but the purchasing power of 
those dollars, through the higher prices 
of commodities is no greater than before. 
If farmers had been organized, like the 
trades, at the end of the Avar, and had 
been able to join in the general scramble 
for higher prices, they would today, at 
least, be in a better position than they 
are. for Avhile the resulting higher cost 
of food would undoubtedly have been re¬ 
flected in present commodity prices, yet 
the higher prices they Avould have re¬ 
ceived would doubtless have reduced the 
gap between what they get and what 
they have to pay for all manufactured 
articles they buy, also of the cost of the 
labor they have to hire. 
But, if they organize now, at this late 
day, and advance food prices, then the 
question is: What would be the result? 
Would they really profit much? As every¬ 
body would have to pay more for food 
there would undoubtedly be further de¬ 
mands from the trades for higher wages 
because of the higher cost of living, 
and they would be justified, 
consequence would be that 
consumers of manufactured articles and 
the cost of labor to the farmer would 
advance sufficiently to vitiate all the ben¬ 
efit received by the higher prices of foo.l 
stuffs gained by his organization. It, is 
possible, of course, that the present in¬ 
ordinate costs of distribution might be 
reduced by some method yet to be dis¬ 
covered, in which case the price the con¬ 
sumer would have to pay for farm pro¬ 
ducts might not be more than he pays 
today; and as the farmer, through or¬ 
ganization, could maintain the advanced 
prices, then he Avould be the gainer, al¬ 
though his organization could not be 
credited with the entire gain. 
At present, prices seem to be fairly well 
stabilized; there is no immediate prospect 
of any reduction of labor costs, there¬ 
fore. unless daily production be increased 
for the same cost, any reduction ip 
prices to the consumer, and it seems 
fair to conclude that any advance now 
in the prices of farm products, arbitrarily 
effected by farmers’ organizations, would 
cause a much greater disturbance in the 
balance of markets and prices than if 
it had occurred at the close of Avar Avhen 
it would have entered the general ac¬ 
counting and most likely haA r e made a 
very insignificant difference in the present 
level of prices. avm. d. little
