It PUT PSYCHOLOGY INTO IT. Root, folks! Root! We've had over two months of close, continuous winter. We are entitled to an ear oring, a soft spring, a spring that will cause our railroad troubles to drop from our wearied shoulders like water from a duck’s back. O: , February is the worst month we have in these regions, but, today, the oldest inhabitant shakes te icicles from his whiskers and remarks that continuance of cold weather in December and January always means an early spring. Root, folks! Root! and if you can’t root, get out and whistle for the first robin! a SOME INDICATIONS OF THAW. Germany will probably not ‘‘erack’? but there's some likelihood that Austro-Hungary may. We get more reliable news from Austria than from Germany. There is no question but industrial disturbances are widespread throughout Austria and that Gzernin, foreign minister, makes ‘a peace speech about every time he opens his mouth. The Hungarians hate the Austrians pretty well and the whole population of the dual monarchy fears Ger- many, at heart. Lloyd Ceorge’s ant President Wilson’s speeches have aroused a hope of indepen- dence. Food and fuel ave scareer and dearer than ever before. Austr wy may not “erack’’ but she’s on some awfully soft, ice. PREPAREDNESS THE THING. Much of the actual loss in complying with that coalless-workless order was due to contusion ari i com the suddenness with which order was imposed. But, having had the experience of a coal- less-workless period, the folks can meet, in better shion, the Mondays that are to come, and actual ed dewn to the minimum. To curtail los to know what and ere the losses w : ein the manu- acturer, store rer and amusement proprietor to figure that shut-down period as all loss, if their in- erease of business the succeeding days in fact wiped out a large part of the losses of that period. For instance, take sueh institutions as theaters, billiard halls and bowling alleys, which w exempted on Monday but closed on Tuesday, that they might get the holiday business of Monday. How did their re- ceipts of Monday the Ist and Tuesday (closing day) the 22nd compare with their receipts of the previous Monday and Tuesday? If the first two days men- tioned showed little falling off, clearly, ‘threatened losses can be reduced, maybe eliminated, by special attractions on the workless Mondays to come. It is to dig harder rather than lic down. When the order was first sprung, some of the labor leaders yelled bloody murder. Figures show- ing the army idle that would starve to death by Monday night were appalling. But the vast ma- jority of wage-earners listened to the ery in quiet, a good many of them rather liking the idea of mor holiday , What is this region east of the Mississippi affect- ed by the order? It is the most prosperous, best paid, most able to sacrifice on earth. In the bigger cities common labor is searce-at $3.50 to $4.25 per 8-hour day, and skilled labor is being coaxed or driven to work over-time in many vocations. Tn ordinarily prosperous years most workers are out-of work from one to three menths during the year, due to quiet seasons, layofis because of over- production, repair es, ete. But for two years past labor has worked without cessation, worked because of the tearful beseechings of the bosses and overtime and Sundays, and could not take periods off the insistence of government and allied needs. Here was. their chance to get a taste of the sweet idleness they have been accustomed to in former years, all their lives, a chance to enjoy a holiday—as a patriotic duty to boot. Didn’t you observe. that many car- penters, plumbers, decorators and other indoor 2 fa loss ean be pa - workers not dependent on power or heat laid off? Isn’t it safe to say that 90 per cent of the salaried workers were not ‘‘docked”’ and that.a very large percentage of the piece-workers were working over- time? Nothing in this should be taken to mean that we like workless Monday, or any other day, by govern- ment edict. But, unless there is radical change in conditions, we are: going to have a coalless-workless day each of thacgming nine weeks. We now know what we’re up against and, if we meet the emergency | in right spirit and profit by our experience, we ought | to be able to cut the actual loss to a point that hurts | the least.

The demand for eoal in the northwest will in all | probability be : eat during the coming season as jit has been in this one. The demand throughout the ‘nation will be fully as great. There is no sbortage lof coal, nor has there been, There has been no in- sufficient supply in very many places because of | transportation difficulties. What will happen in the | ‘Held of transportation another year no one knows. | iIt is to be hoped that centralized control will bring | | about such efficiency that many of the defects of} | the past will be remedied. But even if we attain re- ‘sults that are as good as the best system and the] Hinost capable management can produce, the work of jeartying on the business of the country which must | be carried on, and of taking care of the enormous in- ! creases due to the demands of the war will make the work of handling the transportation of the country one of great difficulty. | The distribution of fuel to the users of it through- ‘out the country isa task requiring the service of a great army of men and the employment of almost in- calculable railroad equipment. It must be rea that i the interest of the publie service that work| must be reduced to the lowest point consistent with | the economic efficiency and the reasonable comfort | jof the people. We may expect that arrangements | will be made which will provide against the trans. portation of coal to unnecessarily distant points. | Cross hauls are to be avoided. Communities will be | rved from the sources of supply nearest them. North Dakota has burned a large quantity of lignite | this winter. This has been done voluntarily. It is} not at all unlikely that the praetice will be continued | | and enlarged by another winter under direct orders | | from the government. | | It is just as well to look forward and estimate the | probabilities. If it is found that by the use of lig- | nite more largely than it has ever been used before | the fuel needs of the northwest can be served with- | out drawing as heavily as usual on the supplies in} the east and on the transportation necessary to lay | the fuel down here we may expect to learn of orders | being issued early in the year limiting very strietly | the quantity of coal that can be brought to the head | of the lakes and making strict regulations governing | will be the service of notice that we must look to) the'lignite mines for a very large share of our heat. | We must remember, too, that the question will not | be entirely one of price. It may be that at the prices which will prevail there may be a saving of money to the consumer in ‘burning lignite. It may be that there will be no saving. But the qn¢stion that is| likely to receive the greatest attention from the gov- ernment is not that of price, but that of the physic- | al availability of fuel. And, if we can expedite mat- ters by burning our own state fuel, even at a little in- crease in cost, there is not likely to be any grumb- ling, especially as the monéy ‘sperit for fuel will rc- main at home instead of being sent to the eastern states —Grand Forks Herald, He got that right also, What’s a horse race or aio plove a ,ooular Sa eetah te 5 i }marck folk an heir. legislative |} war when La Follette wants to make a speech? | guests. 8) ny But evidently the league leaders feel that the | The big picture features Secretary | | line from the allied aviation center at |.

With) these industries crippled the whole} iron machine of war, bulit by Hinden- | burg, will be thrown out of gear. | The air navies—from swift fighting | be ready to begin action by the time atmospheric conditions permit system- atic operations. Germany’s “iron country” in Lor- raine and Westphalia, will be the prin-| cipal target of the allied air raids. ‘Look at the map—Germany’s prin-/ cipal ore fields, the. rich Lorraine beds, lie wholly within a 59-mile air- Nancy—less than 40 minutes flight even for the slowest machines.
