Thi® looks like-a mall return for toe, heavy labor inci­ dent to the securing of any sort of fe­ mme -from A farm, though it is larger .ban the average income -from genetol industry apart from agriculture; bqt it must be. remembered ’that when -a farmer can count, $640 as bis cash in­ come, only a very small part of tbit money will be expended for food, the main part of bis living coming from the farm in addition to the cash. ’ - in other words, he counts his in­ come a® a thing apart from his stable expenses—the outlay commonly meant when the cost of living is being con­ sidered by people lin general. ■Out of an equal-income a.worker in -tbenity would pay for all his food in addition! to clothing, rent, fuel, doctor's fells, and other incidentals. It follows, therefore, that the former's,, $ 6£0 moans -considerably more than the same. eum in other hands.

Of course too average of $610 means that a very large number of farmers make more than this amount annually, but oven with this sum one need not envy toe city worker with a greater number of dollars in his pock­ et.

Days .of-Pompeii,” which will be the nightly.free feature at too Ohio State aFlr, to he held in Columbus, September 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 . Acres ot scenery, and tons of com­ bustible and inflammable material will be used at every performance, and visitors will have' an opportunity of seeing an accurate picture of a great seismic disturbance. Mt. Vesuvius is pictured very true to life, and the dis­ turbance .which follows close upon a Neapolitan feast day is dramatically presented in -its horrors. -The scene laid 'out along the front, nearly 400 feet wide, presents accurately the,Ne­ apolitan courts, where the people gather for their celebration. Among the -3.50 performers tthere is presented/ almost every -class and.condition of Italian cRfeenaty, and the people are shown going about their pleasures, in their own way. This mimic reproduction of the an­ cient city of "Pompeii.will in itself be a revelation, and the spectator will find it difficult to realize tout he is « Ut/itar pageant*, game*, t«**tv function*, scones, sights and inci­ dents, surpassing battle of flowers, feast of lanterns, a fete day fe gala, attire, a shifting kaleidoscope view of the ancient city in the beautiful Bay of Naples, • In the midst of the** festivities come* the tragic eruption ot to* vol­ cano Vesuvius and the destruction of the city.

The timo has not yet come In this country when any boy or girl cannot hope, by determination, persistence and unflagging courage to- gain al­ most anything in -reason that he or she may desire, But, nevertheless, those who are born amid those sur­ roundings Where every working kohr is filled with struggle, where -no flag of truce is ever sent, and only dark­ ness stays the conflict, are entitled to our pity and otir help. By dint Of resolute effort they may raise them selves to the highest positions; but whether they do or hot, be sure they will bear- throughout Iff© ugly scars left by wounds inflicted on their ten­ der flesh in the early stages of the battle. , 4| j 1 I I .

Thousands upon thousands of yards of canvas, mounted upon frame? of wood and iron; scores of real build­ ings, twenty to forty feet high, with grim old Mt.

The trials of sldll and strength na­ tive to Italian soil are shown in pro­ gress, while here and there in the crowd can be seen priests quelling dieturbances by virtue of .their robes of office. The festivities are broken in upon by the mutterings of the big vol- enno, and a cloud of smoke is seen to gather about the crater. This Is fol­ lowed by flame and lava, and as thing* must move, quickly in order to allow the events of weeks to bo crowd­ ed into the performanre, the gfleond crater soon opens. ;>The fly from the tone directly is given by the full com­ pany, following the mimic eruption.

The representation of tha frowning Mt, Vesuvius, towering above tha mimic city of palaces, buildings and r.rches, and tbo gigantic stage upon which the hundreds of costumed per­ formers appear, require nearly four acres of spate for the massive scen­ ery and effects.
