All that remains is for the American people’to &pply thiémsslves to the ‘task. But it is at this point that the trouble arises. ' For several décades now thie people have been gradually deserting agriculture for:the industrial pursuits. Agriculture has been at a discount and thé’farmer regarde of somewhat inferior clay. Thousands of young men, ‘if’ not “trained in the professions, adopted the mechanical trades till thé’farms have become almost deserted. The result was only to be expected, and naturally the industrial ranks were unduly swelled at the same’time. -Nothing e 0 over-abundance of mechanical labor-is responsible for the great labor dis- turbance of the past half century. Labor in any line, ‘when'if beomes too ‘plentiful, must either resort to competition or union in order to sur- vive. - In this instance in chose union, and the results ”we have seen. *‘From 'this time on, there ‘should be a systematic effort on the part of the great labor unions to curtail the number of recruits’'to their ranks. Youpg. men should be discouraged from deserting' the‘farms to’ engage in the trades. The farms need them and should.have ‘them. ' There is room for ‘several ‘millions more young men on the farms of this country, and then the land would not be overcrowded. A more equitable distribution of labor ‘would “result in’ great ‘good to alliparties concerned. ' The farms would benefit by the ‘added forces, while the trades would benefit no’ less by ‘the wl.thdra.wll of a surplus of labor that is an ‘enidless source of trouble and strife. We have reached a point when a Eréat rekdjijstinent of ‘labor s im- perative, and this readjustment is up to the leaders 'of the labor world. - FARMERS’ & TRAPPERS, ATTENTION | We-are_buying'Hides, Furs, Wool, 3 ' Pelts and Tallow and will pay g "you'the full market price. : : 22 NORTHERN HIDE: & FUR COMPANY Oone. /N-n Block North of ' Unlon 'gltlon.

Wilson, federal food commissioner for Minnesota, {s frank to confess that he can yet learn something. He announced it-after his visit to. the-lumber camps of the Crookston ‘company in the demse forests of Northern Minnesota. : Mr. 'Wilson went to thé camps in' the state program of food conser- vation to instruct the camp cooks in the gentle art of conserving food and material, and at the same time not impair the menus: nor the ~well be of the hardy employes. But, he admits that béfore he had “been lod fi the camps the teacher became the pupil. He even stated: that the-cooks in the camps could show the average héusewife ‘something 1n the' art of conserving and preparing dishes for meals. It was even so startling that the women of the University of Minnesota asked Mr. Wilson to send for some of the recipes used by the camp cooks. Even the head of the food conservation of the state could learn some- thing about food conservation and food preparation from an obscure lum- ber camp. Maybe there are other experts who could learn, but would they be] as frank ‘about it as is Mr. Wilson?

When an individual refused to buy a bond his name was -entered upon a blue card. This, says the: Minneapolis Tribune, “marked the man as a slacker, in the matter of buying bonds, at least.” Such' classifications are dangerous. It is far elqler to impute motives than it is'to find the truth; and we have no doubt that there are many men who would 'find themselves bimeccarded; if'ths i system were in general use, whose patriotism cannot be ‘dotibted but whosé ability to"buy bonds, even on the installment.plan, is nil: ‘The desire to seek out the last possible purchaser for Libetty Bonds'is 'as hatufal ‘as it is commendable—but it will not do to stultify those who cannot buy as un- ‘patriotic, even though the term used is as mild as “slacker.” Yesterday we received a case of Wool Blankets that should have been here weeks ago. We have priced them at $5.50, $6.50 and $8.00, little more than half their present value. Get Yours Today.

Now, in outlining the peace to which the United States'must be signatory, he says that the Austro-Hungarisn empire must|| ‘mot be dismembered. What, then, becomes of Austrian-Poland?
