Bridge Canyon, on the northwest slope
of Navajo mountain. It's symmetry
and graceful proportions make it one
of the finest natural bridges Of the

Good to Whistle or Sing.

OF course the fellow who whistles
at his work is likely to annoy some
one near him who Is nervous and irri-
table, but the whistling Is good omen.
Singing awakens the emotions, and
whether a man can carry a tune or
not, something breaks loose inside him
-something gives way and permits
him to enter more heartily into any
service or celebration, provided he, too,
can lift his voice with the others.

KAISER THANKS PROVIDENCE FOR
 HELPING EMPIRE

Amsterdam, Aug. 2-In a procla- nation issued to the German people Emperor William says:
 -Four years ,of hard struggle have passed, full of eternalIy memorable deeds. An example has been given for all time of what a people can do that stands in the field for a most just cause and for the maintenance of it's existence.
 Gratefully revering the divine hand which has been gracefully ex- tended over Germany, we may proud ly say we were not found unworthy in the tremendous task before which Providence placed us.
 'If in the struggle our nation was given leaders capable of the highest achievements it has daily proved by fidelity that it has deserved to have such leaders. How could the army front have performed it's tremendous deeds if the entire labor at home had not been carried to the highest meas- ure of personal performance. Thanks are due to all who, under difficult con- ditions, have co-operated in the task set the state and community and especially to our faithful unwearying officials. Thanks are due likewise to the countrymen and townsmen and also the women on whom in this war time so much falls"

 It is the interpretation the War Labor Board that will create the actual defniton the practical descriptions which will guide and produce the actual wage
 Some outline of the boards interpretation of the meaning of living wage may be geaned from its regulations from the law creating it, from the proclamation of the president regard ing the board and from its official decisions

WHEAT HARVESTER ARMY FOR CANADA

The Department of Labor author izes the following:
 Under the direction of the United States Employment Service, America's s great army of wheat harvesters is preparing to cross the border into western Canada. If weather con- ditions continue favorable, the van- guard will probably be engaged on Canadian farms in two or three weeks time, the cutting now having progress ed as far north as the Dakotas and Minnesota.
 Thousands of men and boys, who have been instrumental in saving the banner wheat crop of the Central West are now preparing to carry through the same service for our northern ally. Their employment in Canada is the result of agreement be- tween the two Governments.
 w. w. Cory, Canadian deputy min ister of the interior, who came to Washington early this week to make final arrangements with Director Gen. eral John B. Densmore, of the United States Employment Service, about the
 
 Canadian wheat fields, states that rec ord crops have been planted by the farmers of western Canada this year and that all their grain is everywhere in excellent condition. The influx of trained American harvest hands mobilized and recruited by the Unit ed States Employment Service will meet, he expects, the severe shortage of native farm labor existing in the Dominion and duplicate for allied food consumption the remarkable harvest of the United States. MT. Cory Is now in Kansas City conferring with A. L. Barkman, who is in charge of the western harvest work of the Employ ment Service.
 Besides helping the Dominion to save it's wheat crops, the transfer ot the harvest army to Canada will be of direct material benefit to this coun- try inasmuch as it will hold together trained army of farm workers for work in the corn fields of the Centra West this fall. The corn crop should be ready for husking by the latter part of October at which time the Cana. dian wheat harvest will be completed | The work in Canadian wheat fields will complete the cycle whereby the emergency farm army will work stead fly for increased food production iron June to December,
