publication. The letter follows:
Here are few items / thought
would be of interest to you: Since
my arrival here In Vancouver two
months ago we have constructed a
large mill for Uncle Sam for the pur-
pose OF cutting up spruce to build
airplanes. It will be capable of turn
ing out 1900, 900 feet per month.
We have twelve circular saws, twelve
cutoff saws, twelve resaws and sever
al planning machines. The mill has
been erected in 45 working days, in
Guiding Sundays and rain or shine"
and have not laid OF one day since
starting the plant. There are about
$50 men working steadily under one
foreman, Walter Mitchell. and 1000
lieutenantsl The cost of the mill Is
$260.OO0 and It ID heavily guarded
day and night by 100 guards.
THE spruce is shipped from differ
emit parts OF Oregon and Washington
down the Columbia river to the mill
which is built on the banks of the
Columbia. There was Just a short
stretch which was shallow which
made 1t impossible for the ships to

Hardship on Middle West

Washington, Nov. 14.-Iowa wants
to demobilize on Iowa soil and to
Iowa manufacturing plants and to
Iowa farms, the boys of the famous
16Sth infantry, Of the historic Rain
bow division, and the thousands OF
other heoric Iowan sons who are now

who left for home last night after
meeting with other governors here
with the war industries board plan
ming after-the-war work, made this
plain when he declared that he wouii
oppose the labor departments plans,
which really amount to the federal
government usurping the functions
of state officials. Governor Hardin
declared that he WIN endeavor to
interest other middle-west governors
to join him in protesting against
the plan OF Felix Frankfurter, chairt
man of the war labor policies board!
which provides for the government
furloughing men out of the army
into industry.
The proper officials to demobil-
ize this great army" said Governor
Harding, are the local exemption
boards. They put the men into the
army and they are qualified thru
their knowledge Of local conditions
to put them back into civil life"
Any attempt to rush men from the
army into industry would work
seriously to the disadvantage of
agricultural states, in the opinion Of
Governor Harding. The position ha
takes is that every man should be ra-
turned to his home state by the gov
ernment and there permitted to seeA
the employment he Desires Ifathe
federal government handles the pro-
blem, Governor Harding insisted it
will result in large manufacturing
centers profiting at the expense of
the farming sections.

THANKSGIVING
DAY AT LUTHER
Plans Have Been Laid for Big Lay
at Luther College s. A. Il. G..
Thursday, Nov. %.
BIG FOOTBALL GAMES
ARE SCHEDULED
Lieutenant Fisher With the S. A. T..
C.. Company VIII Give 3tiii-
tary Review. Two Bands
VIII Play

Plans have been laid for big day
on Thursday, November %, Thanks
giving Day, at Luther college Since
there are such great number of
events scheduled it will be necessary
to begin the celebration promptly
at 1900. At that hour Lieutenant
Fisher with the S. A. r. c. Company
will give military review. The
boys gave an exhibition of drilling
on the day the armistice was signed,
but they will be worth watching
again, when they have a larger
ground on which to drill.
At 1880 Decorah and Cresco high
schools will play their annual foot
ball game. These teams have al
ways been bitter rivals. This year
Decorah has not lost a game, and
they are expecting to win. This game
alone will be worth coming MANY
miles TO see.
After this game the climax OF the
foot ball season in Decorah will take
place. The S. A. T. G. teams of Lu-
ther and Upper Iowa University will
engage in gridiron battle. Although
this Is Luther's first season in foot
ball she has turned out good team.
Let's all turn out and back the boys
even though the war is over.
But such a grand afternoon would
not be complete without music. Two
bands will be ON hand, the s. A. T.
G. band and the Decorah Merchants
band. These two will play during
the celebration, and after the second
game National Liberty Sing" will
be staged in the Luther College
Auditorium. Prof. G. A. Sperati
will have charge of this. Besides
selections by the bands, the $. A. T..
c. Glee Club will sing. The audience
will also be asked to sing. The
particulars of this program win be
announced later. All people who can
show their foot ball tickets will be
admitted to the auditorium free OF
charge. Bx@
At the close Of this program, 5:S0
all are invited to stay and witness

Plans for Demobilizing of Army
Being Formulated by War, Navy
4 and Labor Departments.

Washington, ID. C.-Plans for the
forces of the United States now being
prepared by the war, navy and labor
departments, will be submitted soon
to President Wilson.
Preliminary details of the plans as
known provide Tor the mastering
out of the men on the basis of length
of service and on the ability Of trades
and occupation to absorb the relieved
men.
Labor needs of employers already
had been canyassed by the war in
dustries board thru missionaries.
Community labor boards and local
draft boards will cooperate in de-
termining the nature of the work
and when it will be available.
Preparations by the government
for reinsuring the lives of soldiers
and sailors on their return have been
hastened by the signing of the armis-
tice. Altho regulations have not yet
been fully drafted it is certain that
each of the 4,250,0O0 men in the
military or naval service now holding
voluntary government insurance will
be permitted within five years after
peace is declared to convert it with
out further medical examination into
life, endowment maturing at the age
of SO or other prescribed forms of in.
surance.
This insurance will be arranged by
the government and the cost is ex-
pected to be at least one-fourth less
than similar forms offered by priyats
agencies. The low cost will result
from the fact that the government
will pay all overhead administration
expenses, which for private agencies
amounts to about II per cent of pre-
MUM receipts; will save the usual
solicitation fees and in addition the
risk resulting from the wounding and
weakening of men while in the SER
vice. The government will rearrange
to collect premiums monthly or for
longer period in advance. This may
be done thru postoffices. The mini
mum amount OF insurance
to be issued probably will be $1,000
and the maximum $4,000, with any
amount between these sums in
multiples Of $500 There will be
provision for payments in case Of
disability as we'll as death, according
to the tentative plan. The insur-
ance may be purchased by any sol
dier, sailor or marine, officer, en-
listed--and by women members OF
the army ior navy nurse corps. pro-
viding they already hold government
voluntary life insurance. About. 50
per cent of the 100000 men in the
service are covered by this insurance
which expires after they go back to
civilian life and cease paying prem
iums. This is the system devised TO
replace the old pension plan for pro-
Ividing for ex-soldiers and sailors.

DRINK IT IN.

The man and woman, the boy and
girl, that live through these days of
jubilation will never live through the
like of them again, says the Des
Moines Register.
1t is like sitting in at the creation
of world, which ultimately is to
blossom and to be peopled with
strange and superior folk.
The man or woman, with view
points based on normal times, will
hardly fail to grasp the significance
of the days that are upon US. They
have not failed to grasp the signi-
ficance of the days that have re-
Gently passed.
The younger person may not al
ways comprehend. Yet it is most
necessary of all that he do compre-
hend
The war that has been fought and
the peace that has been won are
wholly for the sake Of tomorrow.
Tomorrow belongs to the children.
There will be ample opportunity
to get understanding. The period of
demobolization will be full of re-
minders-daily, weekly, monthly re-
minders.
The proceedings Of the peace con-
ference will be fully as important as
the progress OF battle themselves,
And fully, too, as difficult.
The man or woman who fails in
the months and years that are just
ahead to improve himself, to keep in
touch with things, to discuss, to
study and, above all. to read, will ne
a traitor to his own intelligence and
to his duty to his children.
One of the chief instruments IN
carrying out ones duty to the world
as whole and to his children in
particular will be the good newspa-
per. A good newspaper will be of
more value, ten times, in the few
years just ahead than 1t has been
in the four years just passed.
The happenings of this era are
like wine that is unharmful. free
as air, and wonderfully charged
with the zest Of life.
