INDUSTRY CHANGE

About 60 per cent Of the industry Of
the United States Il now devoted to
war work. and 10 cut this on immedI-
ately would result in q serious eondi-
tion among the employed So the pro-
gram Of the Government u 10 do Il

The above statment was made BY
DIR. Nicholas Van der Pyle. formerly
associated with Oberlin College. Ohio,
and for the last eight months With the
Department Of Labor, addressing the
manufacturing associations Of the coun-
try.
WhNe In Washington today he said
that during his association with manu-
facturers and labor he had detected
considerable sensitiveness on the part
Of labor during the war. He said that
because Of the shortage of labor he
has recognized on the part OF organ
izers a tendency TO take ADVANTAGES OF
the situation. --- s.-s
Distinctions Between Labor.
But Non the WHOLE" said DR.. Van
der Pyle. the working man has been
cooperative. During all my trips
from factory to factory. have tired
to make the manufacturer see that
there were to be found distinctions b.
tween the working people. Just a. BE-
tween the manufacturer" f
The manufacturers say, according TO
DR.. Van der Pyle, that they can re-

them have orders for years to eoG1e

4here seems 10 be quite q little a.
pectation that the cost OF living win
come down, but. In my opinion. there
will be some unrest because Of the
continued high cost OF living. -
"A program OF education Is necessary
and a good deal OF forebearanes- on
the part of the manufactures and
workers. I haya noticed that the
manufacturers have been inclined to
think that the Department OF .Labor
and the Administration, a. a whole.
have surrendered to labor unions.
This Is hardly true, for such a nan
as Albert Thomas. the great French
labor leader. says that the program, Of
this Government with reference u

Farmers Save Situation


Through Increased production aud
conservation we will be able this year
to expor: seven times our pre-war
average exports of pork products.
With the heavy demands added In car
ing for the millions who have besn
freed from German oppression, the
Department Of Agriculture and the
Food Administration are Justified to-
day In our every action of stimulation
OF hog production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage win be In
fats. and pork will help to save this
situation. The efficacy of the policy
OF stimulated production has built up
In this country supplies which will en-
able us to supply very large part Of
the fat deficiency of the world. In
beef there must be shortage In Eu-
rope, due largely to limited refrigera-
tor ship capacity. All freezer ships
available, however, will be filled by
America, Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by the pro-
ducers of this country to the war pro-
gram ns applying particularly to anil
NAL food products Ia illustrated BY the
following:
Reports complied by the U. s. De-
partment of Agriculture indicate an
increase In cattle of 10,23S,000 head
and 12.441 900 hogs. These figures
were complied to January last
In this period there was decrease
In sheep OF $4,000 head. The indica-
tions are that this decrease will show
an increase. according to recent re-
ports.
Since January / unofficial informa-
ton indicates an increase In hogs OF
not less than s per cent. and not
more than 10 per cent as compared
with one year ago. with an increase In
the average weight.
Following the request Of the u. s.
Food Administration for an increase
In hog production for marketing in the
fall of 1918 and the spring of 1919 the
increase may yield rot less than 1,60o,-
100000 pounds more Of pork products
than we're available last year. with
out this Increase the shipping program
arranged by Nj. Hoover regarding an
imal food products would have been
impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September SO
1917. amounted to $4,000 pounds,
while for the corresponding months Of
1918 the dressed hcg products totaled
LIT $4,000, an Increase of over a74,-
100000 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 the
records OF inspected slaughter OF
dressed beef showed 1,283, 100000
pounds as against 1-454, 100000 pounds
for the three month period ending
September +. this year.

desire to do something more than
to care for his small place. Mr..
Morehouse had had experience IN

What Your Paper Costs You

Even with the advance in price
after December first to the new rate
of $500 per year, one bushel of
wheat will little more than pay
your subscription to the Democrat.
There will be many among the older
readers of this paper who will recall
with little difficulty the years gone
bye in which it required from three
to four bushels Of wheat to pay q
years subscription to the paper, even
at the present existing price of ST.. so
year. The fair minded reader will
agree with US that the raising of the
price was put off, If anything, a
little longer than was even fair to
the printer. We honestly stood it as
long as we were able. Between the
weekly paper and its readers the
years that speed by result in a ripen-
ing of acquaintance that spells
something more than a business rela-
tionship, and this is as it should be.

Episcopalians Reorganize.

followed the morning service at the
Church of Our Saviour, resulted in a
set of resolutions being sent to Bis.
hop Tyler, of the diocese of North
Dakota at Fargo. asking the appoint
ment of a resident pastor of the
Langdon churclfrsand. the resumption
of Episcopal services each Sunday
throughout the year. It was also pc
titioned that the bishop name Rev.
Drew, as the resident pastor of the
church. The action taken was un.
animous and it is understood that se-
veral additions will be made to the
membership of the church with its
reorganization when the bishop makes
his annual visit to the church the
