HONOR TO AMERICAN LABOR

The response of united labor to President Wilson's appeal for cooper ation must convince the world that American labor is composed of earth's finest. That great backbone of Amer ican industry, the Federation of La Dor, assures the president that, all though there are important issues to be settled between employer and em- ploye, yet in view of the gravity of the crisis facing the country, these will be held in abeyance and United Labor will cooperate in every way possible to bring victory to our arms.
 While 1t may appear to many that this action on the part of the labor delegates would involve no great sac rifice on their part, such in fact is not the case. There are in reality many grave inequalities to be straight ened out. The march of events has been so rapid and the changes in eco- homie conditions so radical and far reaching, that conditions that three years ago were perfectly satisfactory are now far from being such.
 It should be borne in mind that this action comes not from little handful of irresponsible toilers, but from a great organization that for years has borne the great burdens of American industry. It is the decision of the best brains and heart of industry, and it stamps the laboring men of this country as the peers of any of earth's peoples.
 It is to the credit of the president that he has a profound appreciation of the patriotic spirit displayed in this action, and has assured the represen- tatives of the labor world that he stands ready, when the proper time comes, to use his great influence to the end that American labor shall re- ceive every jot and little of its just dues.
 The action of the Federation is an assurance to the country that, barring the actions of possibly a few small and irresponsible factions of labor, there will be no delay nor hindrance to the war plans as laid out. Labor will shoulder its great burdens cheer fully and bear them to a triumphant end. And when that end shall have been reached it will assuredly be the duty of every patriotic American citi- zen to use every ounce of his influence to the end that labor be accorded the dignity and consideration that is so justly it's due.
 All honor to American labor-the finest of earth,

According to statistics made public by the Southern Rice Growers Asso- citation the rice growers of the United States produced in 1917 8,638,72 sacks of 189 pounds each. This would mean 1,616,718,647 pounds. The rice growing states stood in the following relation in yield last year: Louisiana 4,19S,170 sacks; Texas, 1892, 2,442 sacks; Arkansas, 1,458,716 sacks. Rice is sold by the sack or barrel (162 pounds) and seldom by the bushel When bushel of rough rice is men toned 45 pounds is intended. Clean or milled rice is sold by the pocket, 100 pounds, or by the pound.
 Instruction in morals is now a re- cognized part of the course of study in every common school in Oklahoma. By an act the state legislature in 1913 such teaching was made obligat- ory, and formal course of study has recently been adopted by the state su- perintendent of public instruction, R. H. Wilson, and has been supplied, in printed form, to school teachers throughout the state. The course comprises 32 lessons, each devoted to a single phase of the subject. The outline was prepared by U. J. Grif- fifth, state high school inspector. Edu- cation as 8 training for citizenship and a deterrent of crime was the ob- ject sought by the members of the state legislature, who put through the bill in 1913.
 John E. Williams, fuel admins trator of Illinois, was appointed re- fierce in all labor disputes arising in the packing-house industries of the United States during the war. The appointment was agreed upon by re- presentatives of packers and laboFers after conferences with President Will sons labor mediation board. The packing-houses reported were the Ar mour, Swift, Morris, Cudahy and Will son concerns. The agreement affects all of their plants, located in Chicago, Kansas City, Denver, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Oklahoma City, Sioux City, St. Paul, Omaha and St. Joseph. The workers directly affected are said to number close to 100000. Both sides agreed that while the United States is at war there should be no strikes or lockouts in packing plants and that MT. Williams decisions should be final in all matters.

The plan of the government to raise fnuds through the sale of war savings certificate stamps is one of the most commendable plans yet instituted. The sale of liberty bonds was and is necessarily circumscribed because these bonds could not be issued in small denominations sufficient to in- clude the small savings of the mil lions who handle only small means
 With the savings stamps, however
 all can have a hand in financing their government. Millions who felt them selves unable to spare the amount of a bond can contribute through this channel. And the fact that every penny invested in these stamps is so much saved and invested at a profit
 should inspire in the American people a spirit of thrift and saving that has heretofore been totally foreign to our natures. The response should be uni versal .

GROUP AT MIDNIGHT; WELL IN

"A few nights ago one of my pat rons had a small child taken with croup about midnight" writes M. T. Davis, Bearsville, w. Va. "They came to my store and got bottle of Foley's Honey and Tar. Before morning the child was entirely recovered. The fathers name is c. C. Craven" Isn't it unwise to experiment with unknown cough medicines when you can get the genuine Foley's Honey and Tar? Best for coughs, colds, croup and lagrippe.
