NATIONAL LABOR-CONTROL.

Commencing August list, the work
Of recruiting and supplying unskilled
ltDor throughout the whole country
was taken over by the United States
Dcpa1 tment of Labor. While this ac-
ton may appear to be very radical,
it is unquestionably necessary.
Shortly after declaring war, the
defects in American methods Of la
Dor employment were pointed out to
the President and he promptly set
aside. from the 100000, 100000 emer-
gency appropriate which Congress
turned over to him, a considerable
sum-said to be about $1,000, 000.00--
for the development of this new EN-
plOyment service.
Great difficulty has heretofore been
experienced by our war industries in
securing and OBTAINING necessary la
Dor. This has not only seriously
hampered our war work but has &C.
casioned much waste of labor at g
time when the man who is engaged
in war INDUSTRIES at home is almost
as important to our national success
as the soldier at the front; and there
Will be few regrets that there is 20
be an emu to the cid ineffective pri
vate 'aboi agency system and the
Turing of workers from farm to The
factory or from one factory to sn-
ether. without regard to the coun
try's needs While there is to be no
inter e~ence with bargaining between
individual Iaborers and employers,
there will be a discontinuance of the
wholesale employment of unskilled
labor, except through this new gov
ernmental fundamentally.
This far-reaching action of the
Government is not only necessary as
a war measure but it also constitutes
most important step forward in the
matter of supplying urgent national
needs for the conservation of our
man power and other resources
Branch offices and agents of this
new government employment depart
ment have already been established
in many parts of the country and
their services are equally available
} and free to all. While the Govern
ment's plan, as recently announced,
involves only "unskilled" labor, it is
a we'll known fact that for months the
offices of this new employment ser
vice have been listing and placing
skilled as we'll as unskilled labor, and
the general plan is undoubtedly
broad enough to cover, in the near
future, all of the needs of the coun-
trv in connection with the employ
rent of labor of both classes.

HON. CHAS. r. CRISP.

Among the unopposed candidates
for public office who will be voted on
in this district tomorrow is Hon.
Charles R. Crisp, who is completing
his second term.
1t is distinctly complimentary to
Judge Crisp that he is being sent back
for this third term by the unanimous
vote of his district, but it is decidedly
no more than he deserves. It is real
ly doubtful if any Georgia congress-
man especially in recent years, has
ever attained as much prestige and
influence in so short a time. Today he
is one of the big men of Congress, and
is Justly regarded so throughout the
country as we'll as in Washington,
Especially active in looking after
the little affairs and requests of his
constituents and friends, while giving
adequate attention to the larger and
more important matters that come tC
his attention, Judge Crisp has estab-
lished a record for courtesy and eff
cheney and ability that should keel
him in Congress for many years.

Camp Custer is located in the south

the general in our private dressing

The buildings at Camp Custer are
numbered, beginning at the easterly
end of the camp and extending to the
westerly end. At present the canton
ment is occupied by the S5th Division

The Y. NJ. C. A. offers many kinds

Each hut has piano and a victrola.
During the week there are movies, ed
ucational lectures. religious services,
musical entertainments and athletic
programs in the huts and on the out

BELGIAN WAR
PRISONER ON
HIS WAY BACK
Jerri Van HOff, After Escaping
from Hun, Is Anxious to
Meet Him Again
VETERAN IN CHARGE HERE
Sergt. Martell Was Formerly
Stationed at Fl. Lincoln
. Aide from McClusky -

Captured while battling valiant!y
with a Belgian lost hope; victim OF
every form of brutality which Hun
fiendishness could devise during six
months captivity in a German prison
camp; finally escaping to Holland and
thence, through aid of brotherin-
law residing at Dickinson, to America
Jerri Van Hoff, Belgien soldier is now
on his way back to Germany to Get
the Kaiser" When Jerri gets him it
will be in the uniform of the United
States of America. Van Hoj enlisted
at the Bismarck recruiting office this
week for service in the U. S. regular
infantry. The only thing which pre-
vented the Belgian from enlisting
earlier was a wound which he sus-
tanned when he was captured by the
Huns, more than year ago.
Van HOff knows more about German
atrocities than ever has been or can
be written. He has seen them with
his own eyes. lie has been victim
of many of them. He is a seasoned
soldier, trained, fully recovered from
the effects of Hunnish abuse, and he
has but one idea-"Get the Kaiser"
He might have remained in safety on
his brother-in-law farm near Dick
inson, earning more money than he
ever dreamed of before. But that was
not Jerri's idea of q mans duty at
this time.
A travelling representative of the
Standard Oil company, drawing $4,000
per annum, over the draft age, and
with family, signed up at the Bis
marck recruiting station this week to
fight for Uncle Sam. His wages will
be $50 per month and keep including
medical and dental attention and
amusement. This particular CONNER
cial salesman had an idea that Uncle
Sam had greater need for his services
than John d.; and is on his way.
=; Sergt. r. F. Martell now is in charge
Of the Bismarck station, with Corp. G.
A:>Swartz as assistant It is not new
territory to either of these veteran
fighting men. Martell was with the
First U. S. cavalry when it was sta
toned at Fort Lincoln, and Bismarck
seems like home to him. When Swartz
retired veteran, he took up his
home at McClusky, where he resided
until he learned that Uncle Sam again
had need for his services. I'VE want
to send so men a month out OF here"
said Corp. Swartz this morning. 1--WE
need them, and there is no reason
why we shouldn't have them"
when one stops to think of 1t,
there's no finer opening in the world
for the average young fellow than the
regular army. Uncle Sam takes a
young man, educates him, trains him
in some useful trade or occupation.
and all of this time he pays him $50
the month, takes care of his depend
cnts looks after his medical and den
tai bills, furnishes him with amuse-
mcnt and generally gives him better
treatment than he could get at home.
If anybody else offered this much the
young men would Jump at It,"

Meat Must Be Sold
Fresh meat is perishable. Il
must be sold within about two
weeks for whatever il will bring.
A certain amount Of beef is ].
frozen for foreign shipment, but
domestic markets demand fresh,
chilled, unfrozen beef
Swift &. Company cannot in
crease prices by withholding meat
because it will not keep fresh and
salable for more than a few days
after It reaches the market.
Swift & Company cannot tell
at the time Of purchasing cattle,
what price fresh meat will bring
when put on sale. If between
purchase and sale, market condi-
tons change, the price Of meat
must also change.
The Food i1.:stration limits our
profit to 9 per cent on capital invested
in the meat departments. This is about
2 cents per dollar Of sales. No profit
is guaranteed, and the risk Of loss is not
eliminated.
AS matter Of fact meat is often sold
at a loss because Of the need Of selling it
before it spoils.
