He had been employed by an advertising concern in the middle west at a salary of $25 a week, but he went to work as labor manufacturing parts of six inch shells. His duty was to pick up steel billets and lay them on the drop-forge anvil, drawing a rate of two and a half cents per billet. He found that he could make about $1.35 an hour, or $8 in a six-hour day, so that when he took a notion to work two six-hour shifts he made $16 or more. The plant ran Sundays, which enabled him to make $100 a week and keep up an aver- age that ran over $5,000 a year, which is fairly good for un- skiled labor. A skilled workman would have made far more. This case is not an extreme one. Ten dollars a day is not considered at all excessive in a munition plant, and though the cost of living has increased there is little to prevent these workers from saving thousands in a short time. And these workers are very numerous. But saving thousands is not the kind of diversion which many of them crave. Investigation has shown that most of them spend sll they make, and in many cases refuse to work more than four days a week. They buy fifty dollar suits, smoke half-dollar cigars and ride to work in taxis.

This o WAR RECORDS COMMISSION. As announced sometime ago, Governor Burnquist has ap-|re pointed & War Records Commission of twelve members, with comission held its initial meeting last Tuesday, and elected F. F. Holbrook field agent of the Historical Society, as director. County Historical Societies* will be organized for the pur- pose of getting in proper and definite form the history of each county and community in the present.war and to compile ‘a record of each and every soldier. The preservation and exhibi- tion of war relics is a part of the commission’s work. The idea will be to make the results of the commission’s ef- forts of surpassing interest to the relatices and descendants of every soldier in the years to come. The value of such a record will increase with years. Every community in this county should co-operate to the fullest extent with the person or com- mittee that is appointed to look after the all important work. The public safety commission instantly approved of the plan when it was presented and has appropriated funds to take care of the expenses of this work. 0. The first official news of Germany’'s peaceful inclinations throw whole cities off their balance—and théy weren’t all small cities, either. Public officials proclaimed carnivals of jubila- tion, factory whistles committed the usual cacophonies. H 0. Experience has taught us that we are unlikely to get the thing we most desire. The Czecho-Slovaks are more fortunate than most of us. They have always wanted self-government, and it looks as if they were getting it. 0 How foolish all these kaisers and kings were!
