of lack of work, and periodical de- 
pression, labor troubles or commercial 
lassitude, are rather quicker on the 
jump off now than years ago. The 
moment anything goes wrong in the 
old home town, one sees the men who 
were laid off tinkering up their cars 
for a “big jump” to some region where 
conditions are less difficult. A good 
deal of the “fluid’ condition of labor 
is due to the nomadic opportunities 
offered or compelled by the automobile 
developments. 
This aspect of the country’s labor 
conditions has something to do with 
the ability of a man, or party, to earn 
its way. No sooner does the rumor 
reach the camp grounds that some 
region “is paying big wages,” than the 
rush in that direction begins. The first | 
comers may find excellent wages for 
the work they offer. Soon there are 
enough workers and to spare on hand, 
and immediately work is hard to get, 
even hard to hold in the face of com- 
petition. Those who plan to earn their 
way, heading for new oil fields, will 
find the trails to the boom town dusty 
from the outfits like themselves—hunt- 
ing easy work money. 
EOPLE do make fair livings earn- 
ing their way, but not every one 
can do it. A certain hardihood is de- 
manded, a certain grimness of effort 
is necessary. The day comes, only too 
often, when the itinerant finds him- 
self with little grub, a tank growing 
empty, a motor heating for lack of 
oil, and hard times not ahead, but 
right at hand. I never heard of any 
one being starved to death on an auto- 
mobile trip—there have been deaths 
from thirst in the desert, however— 
but I have seen vagabond outfits, with 
no resources to fall back on, and either 
too indolent or ignorant, or both, to 
quit their wandering while yet they 
might. 
The best way is to begin to work 
immediately after starting out. Al- 
ways have a certain sum in the pocket 
—enough to get one back to some job 
that is waiting. The moment one is 
down to that determined amount—then 
it is time to quit and settle down to 
business.
