PREDICTS LOWER WAGES
AFTER WAR is OVER

New York, Oct. 21.-In speech
! discussing the economic effects of
the war before a luncheon OF the
Merchants association today, L. F..
Loree, president of the Delaware &
Hudson railroad, said:
To-day, governments at war
have called in the ranks of labor
millions OF women and children
formerly excluded by inclination,
by statute, and by the superior In
dustrial efficiency of those now in
the trenches. II this war time ad-
dition to the ranks of labor be not
promptly excluded at the close OF
the war II might be expected to
result in a general lowering OF
wages in all the affected countries.
with the high wage rates now
prevailing in this country the nat
ural result would be a speedy re-
sumption of immigration. If, how
ever. the powers now at war should
decide to place legislative obstacles
in the path of emigration, the in
dustries OF this country would be
forced into a situation in which
their competition in international
markets would be. in this respect,
subject to most unfayorable condi-
tions.
we are forced to ask ourselves
to what extent America, with its
high standard of wages, its short
hours of labor, and its restrictions
upon output and efficiency its la
Dor union domination of legisla-
lures. and public executives, can
successfully with Europe,
Durged as by fire of everything
lending to inefficiency. We should
hen be invited to an economic
struggle which would be lost I'M
less the highest American states
should be fearlessly de-
voted to the task OF freeing do
nestle industry from its shaekles"

CONGRESSMAN, 9TH DISTRICT
G. NJ. Harger, Abilene

Governor Capper says: II con-
graduate the people of the Fifth
district upon the opportunity they
have to send a congressman to
Washington who believes thoroughly
in the Hughes programme Re-
publican program-and who will
vote and work to carry it through.
Charles M. Harger measures up in
every particular to the stature of a
congressman. He is a successful
business man; he knows the people
of his district thoroughly; he knows
and appreciates their needs and he
is qualified in every way to repre-
sent them at Washington. He was
chairman of the State Board of Cor
rections, one of the most important
departments of the state govern
ment. during the first year and
half of my administration, and
am glad to say that he rendered the
state exceptionally valuable service
in that capacity. / was intimately
associated with him during that
Kline and found him to be a man
who places the very highest value
upon the duty of public servant
to those he is chosen to serve. 1t
is a pleasure to me to commend
him most heartily to the people of
this district and / earnestly hope
they will send him to Washington
as their representative"

TRACTOR WILL SUPPLANT
HORSE FOR FARM WORK

The tractor can completely sup
plant the horse for all work on
the farm only when the farmer
ceases to think of work in terms OF
horses and begins to think of it in
Nterms of engines. in the opinion OF
wv. H. Sanders, instructor in farm
motors in the agricultural college.
II the farmer demands it the de-
angning engineer will construct
engines to do every task which the
horse does today
"Just as horse power in the
past has supplemented the man
with the hoe, so in the future the
tractor will supplant the horse,
says Mr.. Sanders. 1T took man
many ages to realize that by using
horse drawn machines, he could
greatly increase his efficiency. To-

II courtesy and accommodation

be elected by rousing majority.
More people probably have dealings
with this office than with any other
at the court house, and Mr.. King
Is ably assisted by Mrs. King, and
every inquiry or want is promptly
attended to. 1t takes years of train
Ing to properly keep the records of
the county clerks office, and the
voters are more than satisfied with
the manner in which Mr.. King has
conducted affairs as is evidenced by
the increased majorities they have
always given him.

COUNTY TREASURER
Newton Cole, Harrington

The voters of Dickinson county
have invariably conceded a second
term to it's officials if their duty
has been well performed. This is
what Mr.. Cole is asking and will
doubtless receive. This is one of the
important offices at the court house
as here all taxes are paid and prop
erly distributed and to safeguard
against errors, the treasurer must
be a No. 1 accountant. Mr.. Cole
has filled the office for the past
year with fidelity and accuracy. and
it is only fair that he should be
given a second term.

The advent of the tractor, be-
