SLUMP EXPECTED
In IRON DEMAND
END OF WAR BRINGS INDUSTRY UP
AGAINST A REIMBURSEMENT
WILL HELP IRON COUNTY
lessening of Demand For Export
Iron and Haste Will Bring in
Non-Bessemers

Iron county iron miners confident
ly expect that the end of the war
will spell bigger demand for Iron
county ores and better time for al
properties producing non-Bessemer
ores.
The happenings OF the past three
weeks have brought the iron business
up against a re-adjustment that will
soon cause great changes In the iron
mining industyr as well as in the
manufacturing end of the business.
Steel Had the Call.
For the past four years steel that
could be turned out quickly had the
call in the manufacturing market and
as result the Bessemer ores were
the ones most sought for.
The known deposits of high grade
Bessemers are limited, although they
are still very extensive and as a re-
suit the attention OF the ore men have
been centered upon the time when
the hurry-up demand for Bessemers
would slacken and the policy OF con-
serving the best ores might be enter
ed upon,
The ending OF the war has brought
that time about on the tapis. There
have been rumors during the past
week of the cancellation OF large steel
orders and OF barb wire ordersl
These rumors are persistent and To-
cal iron men believe that they spell
the beginning of the end in the war
demand for iron products.
1t is expected that a sharp retrench-
ment will be applied to the exhaus5
ton OF high grade ore deposits and a
summoning into activity OF non-Bes-
semers.

RUMOR BRINGS
EXCITEMENT
CABlEcRAM THURSDAY THAT ARM
ISTICE HAD BEEN SIGNED
GERMAN REVOLUTION IS ON
The War is Practically Over and
Attention is Now Turned Upon
Disorganized Europe


Considerable excitement was in
evidence in Crystal Falls last Thurs
day afternoon due to report which
came over the wires that the armis-
tice between the entente allies and
the U. s. and Germany had been sign
ed. The communities all about us
were celebrating and an effort was
made to get confirmation OF the
message.
II was soon learned that the cable
gram was a brokers' message. Al
first no confirmation could be gotten
TO IL from Washington, Congressman
Jumes taking the matter up directly
with the government from his home
at Hancock
Later bulletin was issued saying
that the state department at Wash
ington had issued statement deny
ing that any artmistice had been
signed; that the commissioners had
not had time TO sign up.
Germany In Revolution.
The same bulletins brought the
news that Germany was at that mo-
ment in revolution. That blood was
freely flowing in the streets of all of
it's large cities and that the govern
ment was unable to hold down the
people.
A German revolution had not been
expected so soon and the news came
as some surprise, but through 1t ran
the ray of hope that the uprising
would make impossible further resist
ance on the part of the German army
and that the war would soon end.
Boys TO BE Long In Coming.
People have already commenced to
speculate upon the length of time
which will elapse before the boys
come home. Estimates have been
unoficlally made that it will take a
year or two to get them back; that
there will be lot OF policing to do
which will keep our army busy for
several months yet and that then the
lack of transport will seriously ham
per the speedy return of our soldiers.
These are all guesses, however,
and no one seems to be willing to
hazard any guess upon what viii be
done or how long II will take 10 do
II.

lization plans have been ready for r

II MEN LEAVE COUNTY AGENT
TONIGHT FOR.0BTA|NS FARM
CANTON N ENT LAB D R DATA
Because of Labor Shortage
Here, Women and Older
Men May Come to Imper-
ial Valley This Fall to Help
Harvest Crops.

. Valuable data on the farm labor
situation has been obtained by County
Development Agent ID c. Bitler, who
has returned from a several days sur
in Los Angeles and San Diego. Mr..
Bitter today expressed confidence in
the outcome of plans being laid in
those cities to organize large labor
units among the women and older
men, and possibly colored men, to
work in the cotton and milo maize
fields in Imperial county this fall.
"A close inspection Of the situa-
ton around Los Angeles served very
quickly to convince me of the seri-
ousness of the farm labor shortage"
said the development agent today.
Farm laborers have been drawn into
the army and to the shipyards, leav-
ing the harvesting of the crops to
depend largely upon the few expert
enced ones remaining at home. This
emergency has developed such organ
izations as the Women's Land Army
and the Half Century ASSOCIATION,
both of which are furnishing great
part of the farm labor in the fruit
orchards Of Southern California, as
well as the dairy farms in Los An
geles and vicinity.
"The Woman's Land Army and
the Half Century Association have
been conferred with regarding the
situation in Imperial Valley this fall
and have promised their hearty CO.
operation. Under certain conditions,
yet to be entered into, it is probable
that the Valleys crops will be har-
vested to great eXtenC by these or
ganiZations, which will send their
members here in several groups of
100 or more. am now compiling the
information obtained on this trip and
am arranging the details into a defi-
mite plan of operation to be presented
to the proper officials Pending the
carrying out of the plans, farmers
should lose no opportunity to employ
every laborer obtainable for the har-
vest season, as the demand for farm
workers in other districts is constant
and we must look out for ourselves
here"
