The lack o! permanency to us seemed ta be one o! the great evils. We can readily look back to the time when first we saw aphono- graph. Then, to hear the won- derful invention we had to put tubes to our ears and listen to the machine, as it talked, or sang, or played. We were filled with wonder then, but how many today are held spellbound to listen to the improved talking machines of the day. now common. We haw- aeen and heard them so often we don’t look upon them as anything out of the ordinary. To the boy who was born and grew up in the open country, where from his earliest infancy he has enjoyed all the diversified beauties of nature, there is little use in talking to him about the great grandeur of the universe. He has seen it all, so far as his en- vironments are concerned. He knows it, and the thing to him is too common to be wonderful any longen We had the same feelings on listening first to the telephone, or looking at the flying machines, but the wonder we felt originally, has all passed away, and they are wonderful to us no more. So it is with the boy who grew up with nature all around him. You can’t arouse his enthusiasm. The scenes to him are only common 01195. Farm labor today is not more difficult or more strenuous than many other kinds of employment. The introduction 0! labor saving machinery has lightened labor on the farm in many ways. The man with the labor-saving machine. however, is not going to get of! any easier than formerly, it with the help or the machine he tries to do the work that should be ex- pected of two or three men-Then the work is just as hard to the one man as the heavier work was orig- inally, when divided up amongst two or three men. A machine may expedite labor, but the work in the one case is just as hard asin the other, if the same amount of energy is put into it. Long hours on the (arm have a tendency to make farm labor less attractive. We are quite aware of the fact that circumstances com- pel farmers at tiines to work ear-- lier and later than the workmen do in the show. If on the farm. nine or ten hours would constitute a days’ work as it does in factor- ion. and overtime be paid for pro rata, or even at a higher rate then the laborer on the farm wouldn’t feel. to the sama ex- almost untirely untouched by the writer. Farm labor today lacks one element, and until something is done to remedy that lack then there is but little chance of re- moving the evil. In most cases the lack of permanency is one of the greatest evils, and it seems to us the scarcity Will continue till every farmer decides on keeping help, and keeping it year in and year out, continuously, and not for a month or two of the busy season, and then dispense with it till the next busy season approaches. ‘ THE BOY ON THE FARM How to keep the boy on the farm is not yet a dead topic, and the paper in another column, con- tributed by Miss Scott, goes into the matter at some length and in some respects is quite an exhaust- ive article. That farm help is scarce generally must be admitted by all, but we think one reason for that scarcity has been left IHE DURHAM BHRONIBIE DURHAM, FEBRUARY 3, 1916 W IRWIN, Editor and Prowl“ A GENEROUB Hrs. ml.)

That a German may have an internal feeling of affection to the fatherland is not to be won- dered at in some cases, but to think of a British subject being dis- loyal is almost inconceivable. Tint some few are disloyal or indiffer- ent to British interests is evident, but the number is very small. In the patriotic campaign just closed the action of one or two of our to-wnsman who failed to contribute in any way has caused a murmer of suspicion, but we hope there is no foundation \ in fact for any sush feeling. The man who is able to do something by giving or by helping should certainly do his bit. and failing to do so is sure to cause a feeling of distrust. If such feeling. The man who is able in business he should easily guess whereon to attach the blame. As a rule the people of Durham of all nationalities have been generous in their contributions. Some have been doing all they can, but there are others who haven’t come up to the mark. considering their means. Since the provincial board of health is undertaking this work in the hope of lowering the death rate and reducing the morbidity of communicable diseases influenced by the use of these products, every physician in the province is re- quired to co-operate with the provincial board of health bv prompt notification of all commun- icable diseases.
