THE NATION s WAii y n
CAPACITY u u
Output of a "sociaai1sd I
dustry Can Be Increased
Tremendously.
From the Omaha News =

From the Omaha News i, -4-l- s4s5 n,
The biggest lesson the war has
taught lis is that the productive
capacity of each man, each ma
chine and each other mannfactur-
ing unit which has been @social-
ized' is nearly if not quite double
what it had been under previous
conditions.
1t is estimated we can send an
army of II million men to war, if
necessary, and we must. at the
same time build up our munitions
and shipbuilding industries to
supply and transport them.
To do this we must call on the
women, just as England has done.
Analysis of the census figures
show that there are at least Alp
million women of productive age
not now engaged in gainful occ,l-
pations who could be called on
for industrial service.
Furthermore, almost one-fourth
of our total manufacturing capac-
ity now goes into production OF
articles we can dispense with.
The National Defense Council
has listed and inventoried twenty
seven thousand plants, which can
be used for munitions purposes.
Many of these have had trial or
ders and are now ready to 60 to
work on the special parts for
which they are equipped.
Within a year these plants, to-
gether with the federal arsenals
and the regular munitions plants,
can turn out every day IL million
large shells, 3-4 million small
shells and 5 million cartridges.-

Stephen Dove Morlan.

The only son of w. B. and Fan
ME Morlan was born at Ballard,
Bates county, Mo-. Feb. q, 1884.
He came with his parents to Urich
when quite small, was educated in
the public schools, grew to man
hood and spent all of his active
life in this city. After leaving
school he was for number of
years engaged with his father in
general merchandising from
which he retired on account of his
health, in March, 1913. He then
went to Colorado and recuperat-
ed some months and on his return
home accepted the assistant cash
iership of the Bank of Urich,
which position he filled with dis
tinction and credit. In April of
1916, he resigned his position in
the bank and again engaged in
the mercantile business.
In January of this year he was
compelled, on account Of rapidly
failing health, to close out his bus
mess and seek complete rest. He
consulted several prominent ply
sicians but received little encour-
agement and he then went to Hot
Springs, Arkansas, but took worse
and had to return home.
He came home on Tuesday,,
walked to his home from the sta
ton and no one apprehended that
his condition was so Immediately
dangerous, but when he grew rap
idly. worse until Thursday morn
ing, March %, when he said to
those by his side: Turn me
over, please, that l may sleep"
and in an instant his spirit sped
away to the placid shores and SER
enc shade of immortal bliss while
the tired body sunk into that
sweet and restful sleep from
which no mortal wakes to weep.
On Feb. IA, 1905, he was mar
ried to Mary Lee Gutridge, who
with one daughter Louis, togeth-
er with father, mother and one |
sister, remain to sorrow at his go
ing.
Dove, as he was familiarlyI
known, was possessed with high
ideals of mans duty to man and
was true as steel in all the re-
lations of life. He played the
game Of life on the square, and his |
compass carried justice to ALL
He was frank, yet prudent in ex-',
preston. He loved his friendBi
more and hated his enemies lesg,
if any he had, than most peoples9
His business career was character
ized by scrupulous honesty and
the strictest business integrity.
Those who knew him best loved
him most and were saddest at hisl
going.-Urich Herald.

WILL THE MADISON BRANCH
BE ABANDONED?
Attorneys for the Missouri Pacific
Intimated Plan of the
Company.

Topeka, April 13.-What is to
become of the Madison Branch OF
the Missouri Pacific Railroad
That is the question the Kansas
Public Utilities Commission has
checked up to the reorganization
committee Of the Missouri Pacific
before any action is taken by the
commissioners relative to the per-
NIT to the company to issue stocks
and bonds under the reorganiza-
tion plans. The attorneys for the
reorganization committee indicat-
ed to the commission that the plan
was to abandon this railroad en-
tirely.
The road runs from Butler, Mo-,
to Madison kas. It is the only
railroad through Mound City, the
county seat of Linn county. The
Missouri Pacific officials asserted
that by abandoning the road only
sixteen hundred people would be
left without a railroad at a con-
venient distance, which the rail-
road men said was seven to eight
miles.
The commission has refused to
grant the permit to issue the
stocks and bonds proposed by the
new company until it learns what
plans are made to take care of the
people served by this line.

COTTON ADVANCES
ON HEAVY BUYING
Influenced by British Victory,
Staple Enters New High
Grounds

NEW YORK, Nov. 2i.--lnfiucnced by
the great British victory, the cotton market
advanced into now high grounds today on
heavy purchasing
This movement was preceded by recess
sious, which were due TO talk OF an easier
basis for the spot in some parts OF the
South and larger figures than had been
expected in the report of the Census Bureau
published at the beginning of business this
morning.
II was believed that trade interests ah-
sorbed the bulk of the supply Of contracts
during the last few days, Notwithstanding
the cabled announcement that 10000 tons of
room on vessels had been allotted for the
staple for December by the British Govern
ment Local exporters said they found 1t
impossible to obtain space for next month.
The market opened steady AT to 10
points net loss. which was hardly n fun
response to the extreme Liverpool weak.
ness and the ginning futures.
The initial offerings were absorbed at n
decline of about 16 to % points, and the
market became extremely active and strong
toward the middle of the morning.
The reports OF British victories in France
seemed to he largely responsible for the
buying movement. and the market was
evidently very sensitive to the demand
Wall street and wire houses were active
buyers, sending January contracts UP 10
2S.37 and March to IS. or about Sc 10
SO points higher on the active months. This
naturally established new high records for
these and attracted enough realizing tC
! cause slight reactions.
