We very much enjoy the weekly
visits of the News and glad to know
of the welfare of our soldier friends
through their interesting letters in
the paper. Like Mr.. r. T. Warner of
Everett, I too, would have been
pleased to have received an invitation
to the reunion of the pupils of our be-
loved Collegiate institute. of which Mr.
Warner and myself were such long
time pupils.

After the War
After the war, what then?

9ItS1 IIS Wal, luSn.
The money of this nation will be
in the hands of manufacturer, well-to-
do farmer, merchant and other
wealthy classes.
Millions of young men will be
thrown back on the country to gain
their own living, which is now being
furnished by the government.
How are they to secure this living?
In majority of cases it must come
from working for a wage.
The farmer can, and will, employ a
limited number. The manufacturer
can, and will, employ others to the ex-
tent that he can find market for the
output Of his factories. The money
Of the nation being in the hands OF
the few must be redistributed, before
the people, as whole, can buy.
One essential to gaining a buyer for
an article is a reasonableness of price,
as many will have little money with
which to purchase. To attain this
cheapness, labor must be secured
cheaply.
Labor can only become cheap when
all that goes toward it's support is
cheapened.
If the present price for the neces-
saries Of life is to be maintained to
any appreciable extent, there can be
no cheapening Of labor. Where must
the reduction in price of these neces-
saries begin?
a nninf fol RI
the labOrers existence, Wis: in food.
Hence the farmer must produce
more and also produce it with less
profit, before cheaper labor can re-
suit. Less must also be expended in
getting the food to the ultimate con-
sumner.
To accept less for produce will, of
course, act to curtail the newly ac-
quired luxuries of the well-to-do farm
ing class in some cases, and the les
sening of the comforts of the needy
in others.
But it must be done, or no cheap
labor can result.
More, men must battle with the
soil, that every acre may be made to
produce to it's fullest extent.
With plenty Of food. at a reasonable
price, labor may be cheapened.
With cheapened labor, manufacture
ing can be pursued at profit through
the sale of output at reasonable
price.
The present system of advancing
the price of necessaries to the labor
er, constantly above what his in
creased wage can cover. cannot en-
dure, and ought not to endure.
The labOrer is now, and has been
for long years, ground between the
upper and neither millstones of prof
iteer and employer. Every cent of
increased wage has been absorbed by
the former This must end, otherwise
this war now being fought for the
emancipation of humanity will have
been fought in vain, because while
our brave boys are nObly battling
across the ocean, the prOfiteers and
dollar grabbers at home are engaged
in forging letters for their binding, on
their return.

Mothers Should Know

Those mothers who have daughters

OATS HIT HIGH MARK
Corn Also Up Shade During Week
Due to Transportation Handicap.
lima. Below: Old Rosebud. the sta,>

Chicago, Jan. 5.-Uncertainty which
resulted from abolishing all priority
orders on the railroads, gave the bulls
an advantage this week in the corn
market. Compared with a week ago,
prices this morning were up Is cents
to y cents Oats were unchanged to
rs cents higher, and provisions down
Z cents to AZ cents.
1t appeared only reasonable to as
sumo that however imperative the
need had become for putting all
classes of freight on an equality, the
immediate effect of withdrawing pref
erence which had been accorded to
grain would be at least temporary
slowness in the movement of corn
from first hands. AS a matter of fact
rural offering did continue light and
difficulty in getting cars for shipments
from country elevators remained in
evidence, altho better traffic condi-
tons were looked for soon, especially
if mild temperatures could be counted
on. Peace gossip meanwhile made no
Roadway as a bearish factor except in
the early part of the week before word
came that the Russians had assumed
an attitude of defiance.
Highest prices yet this season were
reached in the oats market. Export
buying was largely responsible despite
a subsequent apparent 1ull in sea-
board demand.
Big stocks here and at other west
ern points weakened provisions. Cash
inquiry fell off.

With the American Army in France,

aerial warfare on a larger scale than
heretofore, it is indicated in docu-
ments taken from enemy prisoners,
are founded upon published state
ments regarding the aerial warfare
plans of the United States. Informa-
ton to this effect has reached the
American eXpeditionary forces.
1t is indicated that the Germans,
believing that America intended put
ting machines by the tens of thou
sands into the battle area, immedi-
ately enlarged their own plans in the
expectation of offsetting the increased
enemy forces. Just when the enemy's
program will be realized is uncertain

ing officers as making it extremely de-
sirable for a speedy and complete de-
velopment of American air service

HUNTING WILD DUCKS IN
kEROpLANE LATEST SPORT

The rich who have time on their
hands are on the trail of a new
form of sports, altho it may be said

ment in its favor as an aid to
Workmanship.
This new sport is nothing more
or less than hunting ducks by

being the opportunity for wing
shooting against double speed. That
is, the machine is travelling at bird
speed while the ducks are likewise
doing record work.
One of the army corps says:
There could be no better prac-
tice for craftsmanship than to
hunt fast-flying birds like wild
ducks in aeroplanes. The problem
Il maneuvering would be about the
same as would be encountered in
com bat with a hostile flyer, and
hitting flying ducks from an aero
plane going ninety miles an hour
would require a steady eye and
