ONE WEEK SPOT
Many Langdon People Have a Weak Part
and Too Often Its the Back

Many people have a weak spot.
Too often it's a bad back. Twings
follow every sudden twist. Dull
aching keeps up. day and night.
Backache is often from weak kidneys.
In such cases a kidney medicine is
needed. Doan's Kidney Pills are for
weak kidneys. For backache and
urinary ills. Good proof of merit in
the following statement.
Oscar Burke, farmer, 724 N. 18th
St., Grand Forks, N. D., says: 81
had a steady, dull ache across my back
and it was hard for me to straighten
after STOPPING. I was also bothered
by headaches and dizzy spells and the
kidney secretions caused me much
annoyance. Doan's Kidney Pills gave
me relief and I have had no more
trouble from my back or kidneys"

WASHINGTON PLANS
INDUSTRIAL ARMY

ing in plants that are rushing
work for the army and navy.
As winter comes on, the nation
faces congestion of railroad ter
minals like that of last February,
and next year at planting and har-
vest there must be special farm Ia
Dor or there will be no crops.
The only way seen to meet these
situations is to have an industrial
army Flying squadron" of picked
men from all kinds of trades and
occupations, definitely under the
control of some central federal
body.
Just how this army shall be or
ganized and controlled is the prob
lem now perplexing official Wash
ington-a problem more difficult
than that of raising the national
army. For in this Industrial army
the men must be already trained,
and in addition there are all the
points of dispute involved in ques-
lions of wages, union conditions
and strikes.
1t seems established that the in
dustrial army will be raised on a
volunteer basis, enlisted for the
duration of the war, will. wear in

vital service to the nation, super

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 20.
Mobilization of great indus
trial army Is on the cards as the
NEXT revolutionary step toward
solution Of the matte rs problem of
providing sinews of war and sup
plying the civilian population.
Washington is rapidly learning
what the European nations discov?
cred during the first year of war,
that the "army behind the army"
in the factories, mines and fields,
is as important and must be as
systematically provided for as the
army in the trenches.
Plans are being considered to-
day for putting American indus
tries on war basis and mobilizing
the indstrial forces in the most
effective fashion.
This does not mean putting
every workingman and woman
into a uniform or under military
orders, nor does 1t mean at pres
ent a mobilization plan that will
include all workers for all lines of
industry. That would be too big
a job.
All Uncle Sam is after just now
is systematic organization
thru which the labor necessary to
fill the gaps and rush special
work for war needs can be mobil-
ICED and moved rapidly from one
industry or locality to another.
In the coal industry there are
great shortages OF competent min
ers In certain fields, $4,000 in the
anthracite alone, while in other
sections men are working less
than full time. In normal times
men would slowly filter from. the
regions OF surplus labor to the
regions of scarcity; but that pro-
cess Is too slow for war necessi-
ties, which call for flying squad
rons" of workers who can move
when needed.
What is true of coal Is also true
in greater or less degree OF ship
building. numbering, construction
work for environments and war
order factories, and manufactur-

We are near the summit of the

The city commissioners show

BRISTOL, Conn, Oct. 2O.-Th(
New Departure Co., of this city
one of the subsidiaries of the Gen.
eral Motors, has sought itself. tc
solve the housing problem of its
workers.
This company makes ball-bear.
ings and brakes for war trucks
and autos.
1t is, therefore, typical of the
hundreds of factories that since
1914 have been forced constantly
to take on more men.
Before the war the New Depar-
ture Co. employed 1000 workers
Since then it has extended its
plant three times. Today 1t en-
ploys $500 men. It is now en-
gagged in a fourth plant extension,
and when this is completed en-
ployment of $500 additional work
ers will be required.
Company Builds Houses.
Bristol, of course, could not
supply the new men the New De-
parture Co. has been calling for
practically since the war broke
out. And when the company sue
ceeded in getting them from out
Of town, 1t wasn't always success
full in keeping them.
Early in the game rents scared
beyond the figure the workers
could afford to pay. And shortly
afterward houses could not be
rented at any figure.
Not because 1t wanted to, but
because 1t was forced to by eco
nomic pressure, the New Depar-
ture Co. drew its own check
bought the land necessary and
built itself for it's workers houses
designed for convenience and
comfort, but cheap.

recently in an ugly state of 'unde-

FIX NEW
DRAFT
SYSTEM

(Unlted Pre2s Leased Wirc.s
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct. 20.
IA new system of choosing men
for future drafts was announced
today by Provost Marshal General
Crowder.
1t divided that balance of the
regiments not included among the
first 6S7 900 sent to environments
into five classes. 1t reduces the
work of local boards and provides
in a detailed QUESTIONABLE the
personal history of each man on
which his classification is based.
The QUESTIONABLE will be made
to every registered man not yet
in the service on date to be fixed.
Seven days Is given each man to
fill in and return the sheet. The
local boards then assign each man
to one of the five classes. Those
in class one are called up for ply
steal examination first; those ia
class two, second, etc.
The class to which a man is as
signed will depend upon his econ
0mic worth as compared with his
fellow registrants, said the an
|nouncement.
THE classification" said Crow
der, will be based on every con-
ceivable condition from the fam
lily or occupational standpoint
that should probably be advanced
by man desiring to be excused
from military duty.
The classification's main pur-
pose is economic-it was inform
ally stated. In class one, will
naturally fall those men who can
give no good reason against being
sent to camp. Glass two will be
composed Of the first line of mar
ried men who have no real de-
pendents. In class three the high
ly skilled will be placed as they
be necessary for war industries
In the fourth class will come
the married men with many chill
dren and in the fifth class men
who might be called "discards"
unfit for an emergency.
