SEEK BETTER ORGANIZATION
State Defense Council Wants Stronger
Cooperation of Citizens to Aid
in Emergency War Work.

Madison-Plans are on foot to call
upon representatives of the County
Councils of Defense to appear before
the legislature during the special ses-
sion and to discuss with the members
plans for a better organization of the
state for war work. "
The discussion will probably be over
the bill which is to be presented by
the Milwaukee County Council of De-
Tense. and which, if it becomes a law.
will give to the state council greater
powers of control over the work of
the county councils.
The idea is, however, to make the
whole system more effective by a
greater Capitalization of the work. It
is believed by the county councils
that there will have to be strong
cooperation of citizens to give the
necessary efficiency of the state for
meeting the war emergency, and that
the county councils under the state
council will have to do a good deal of
work and perhaps be clothed with a
great deal of power to obtain the de-
sired results.
The question of farm labor will be
one of the most important questions
before the state the coming year.
Farmers everywhere are now short
the necessary labor to carry on their
farms, and all of them are afraid that
they will not have anything like ade-
quate help with which to harvest their

CITIES MAY PUT IN
OWN FUEL YARDS
AUTHORITY GIVEN BY LAST Leg
ISLATURE MAY BE PUT
INTO ACTION.
PRICE AND COAL NOT RIGHT
Many Complaints Have Been Received
BY State Marketing Agent Regard
ing Quality of Fuel Received.
Investigation Being Made.

Madison-The action of the last ses-
sion of the legislature authorizing the
establishment of municipal fuel yards
is to be used to force the handling of
coal and wood in Wisconsin at rea-
sonable price and with satisfactory
service.
Complaints have been made to the
Office of c.. w. Croty, state marketing
agent for the Wisconsin Council of De-
Tense, regarding the price and quality
of coal as sold in certain cities. The
matter has been taken up and investi-
cations will follow. Dealers are warn
Ell that the price is now under super
vision of the government authorities
Agitation of cities to establish their
own fuel yards is also being investi-
gated. The state representatives do
not intend, however, to have anything
to do with this movement, it is de-
clared, unless it is found to be the
only way by which fair treatment to
the consumers may be obtained.
eff people were convinced that they
are only being charged reasonable
price for their coal and wood, that the
quality is the best and the service of
delivery good" said Mr.. Croty," the
agitation for municipal fuel yards
would not be strong. But If the prices
are maintained tpo high, the quality
poor and the service bad, people will
be inspired to put through the matter
of municipal fuel yards for their cit.

and British forces smashed the
allied ring of steel still closer to
st. Quentin today.
While the British Tented, as If
in continuation of their assump-
ton of the initiative during the
past few days, the French sud
denly drove a great thrust for
ward on a front of eight miles
south of st. Quentin and captured
three villages and dominating
series of heights two miles dis
tant from the town.
Then the British resumed their
steady pounding away at the Ger
man lines.
1t is a race between British and
French forces now to see which
will take the city first. They are
almost equally distant from the
town. The British have scant
few hundred yards advantage, and
like General Nivelles troops, also
hold a dominating ridge.
Both armies were reported in
battle front dispatches today to
be pushing steadily ahead.
Meanwhile the French are
tightening their pressure against
German lines south of LaFere,
driving forward another wedge
toward Anizy.

BY THE REV. CHARLES STELZLE.

Jesus is working a revolution in
the business life of this city.
But it isn't through old-fashion-
ed efficiency methods and scientif-
ic management-although no one
believes more strongly in system
and order than Jesus.
It's through the study of the
human side of business that Jesus
is working out his plans.
When He selects a man to man
age His business affairs He re-
quires Of him not only unusual
mental ability but great heart
THE ABILITY TO GET ALONG
WITH MEN.
There's an atmosphere in the Of
flee that compels men to deal hon
estly with each other. And it is
required that every employe shall
be fair and loyal.
Competition there is, too, but 1t
Is expressed in the effort to get
out a better produet-to excel in
the kind and the character of the
work done.
Shabby work is never per-
mitted-under any circum-
stances.
The trademark of this
house is Service"
| There is no class spirit among
the workers themselves, in the
sense that one kind of a mechanic
believes himself to be superior to
another, simply because he hap
pens to have what some regard as
a better job.

The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1917-04-04

When a man is given q bigger
or better job, more is required of
him in character and purpose. He
is soon made aware that the one
who serves most stands highest
among his fellows. This is
fundamental principle laid down
by Jesus.
Success Is determined not
by the balance i'm the bank at
the end of the year-al-
though this Is a consideration
but by the degree to which
men with whom the house
deals have been helped to
better things both I'm point of
comfort and character, and
by the good will which has
been developed among men.
No attempt is made to conduct
this business so far in advance of
all others-in every way-so as to
wreck it. 1t is recognized that to
return to the simplicity of the
days when there were no great
cities or transcontinental railroads
would be futile.
"Opportunism" is therefore the
ideal set before all who are re-
lated to this enterprise-but never
is anything permitted that is i'm
moral or unfair or unethical.
Real business qualifications are
| insisted upon.
1t is understood that while piety
is a good foundation for bust
ness man, it is not the only essen
tailor piety alone never yet
fitted man for successful bust
ness career.
And so the leaders-and others,
| too are encouraged to perfect
themselves in the science of bust
ness for more effective service.
So here's the plan that's
working the revolution in
Jesus business-the making
of men rather than money;
the supremacy of service
over profits; the production
of goods that will stand the
test, but, above everything
else, SERVICE, SERVICE,
SERVICE.
