THE LABOR PROBLEM

AZ 12 O'Clock ON the night OF
September 8, the manufacture of in
toxicating beverages was ended in
the United States. Distilleries all
over the land drew their fires and
closed their doors. Thousands of
men were put out of employment,
and millions of dollars worth of
equipment must be diverted to other
uses. And in connection with it all
there is one significant fact that
must strike us forcefully when we
come to consider it.
Just one instance: Peoria, ILL.,, a
large whisky center, announces that
the 1900 or 1000 men thrown out
by the closing Of the distilleries will
be taken care of at once in other
lines of work-that she has need
for the services of every one of
them. Similar word comes from
many other whisky producing CEN
tiers.
When a great industry such as
this can cease all at once without
any appreciable disturbance of labor
conditions, the fact should set us to
thinking, and thinking deeply.
What of the supply of labor in
the year that is before us? 1t is
perfectly apparent that the great
business of the country MUST be
kept going if this country is to fin
ance the allied countries, as she has
undertaken. With more than a mil
lion of her best workmen drawn to
the colors, a dedication to labor
is imperative on the part of that
class that from one cause and an
other has heretofore dropped out of
the ranks of the workers.
1t is all right to say to the farmer:
"You must produce greater crops"
but if he hasn't the force to manage
his teams and implements we are

DESERTERS NOT TO BE FIRED"

General Crowder has announced
that men tried as deserters would
not be dishonorably discharged. All
drafted men charged with desertion
will be punished and put back in
the ranks.
This declaration was made follow
ing information from several camps
where drafted men were stationed,
that assertions were frequent and,
the theory was advanced that draft
ed men were trying to evade mill
tary service and getting discharged
from service.

THE AMERICAN CITIZEN
Written about 1897
(By Coates Kinney.)

Nobility out Of the veins Of the dead
Belongs to the past; the present,
instead,
Makes manhood the measurer of
man again,
And chooses blood that is livingly
red
To make the American Citizen.
The pride 70 the Great Republic |
bear;
feel her majesty move in the air,
Her greatness to come and her
glory when
A thousand million of freemen shall
share
The name of American Citizen.
I pray that her strength and gran
deur increase
To tutor the world in the ways Of
peace,
Till the lamb shall lie in the lions
den
OF the strong American Citizen.
o, I hail her power for freedom and
right,
I thrill with her power beyond
my ken,
AS l feel that the coming man in
his might
Shall be the American Citizen.

BAKER STREET
MACADAM

From City Engineer Thompson. we
understand that the excavation and
preparation for macadamizing Baker
street will commence next week. The
water and sewer connections are now
all in between second street to eighth
street on Baker. It will require a
week or ten days, to fix the grade and
make all preparations and when that
is done Mr.. Bossert, who has the con-
tract for doing the cement work, will
put his crew on and complete the
job. The people on Baker street,
where this work is to be done, are
anxious on account of the fact that
this street has been torn up, more or
less, for two years and they are anx-
ious to see the finish.

PERMANENT
PUBLIC DRINK
ING PLACE

Bossert Brothers, who have the con-
tract of doing the macadamizing work
for Wood County, City Of Grand Rap
ids, and the village of Port Edwards
are making excellent progress. The
cement road way that connects the
village macadam is fifteen feet wide
and three thousand lineai feet long to
the city limit line and the grading is
all finished for three thousand feet
more in the city. To get a sufficient
supply Of water to mix his cement
with on this big Job, Mr.. Bossert laid
drain-pipe from the hill across to
the east side of the roadway and form
ed reservoir there of sufficient size
and capacity to supply a large vo1umn
of water. From this reservoir he
piped the water along to different
points where he needed it. We are
informed that when Mr. Bossert gets
thru with this job he intends to cement
the reservoir and put it in splendid
for public use. This is very
commendable on Mr.. Bossert's part
and the general public will appreciate
this consideration. The reservoir is
located at the base of what is known
as Kipps' Hill near the ball park and
will be very convenient for the use o.
picnic parties and those who motor
along the bank Of the Wisconsin river.
