The Daily Grind.

There's a new glory about 1.-THE
same old morning till-night-to-pay-the-
rent drudgery!
AT the sight of service flag chins
instinctively lift, shoulders square.
The soldier comes out in the man be-
yond draft age when he starts down
town in the morning. He wears no
uniform. no insignia, no cap band, no
brassard. He does the same work
he did before the war, but-bless him
he does 1t better, better because of
the boys overseas, better because Amer
lea must win. His bit is colorless
task, but such Is democracy being
made safe for the world.-Reinette
Lovewell Of The Vigilantes.

liver is torpid ana bowels constipated
or you have headache, dizziness, coat

WOODEN SHIPS NOW
HANGING in BALANCE
(By United Press. }

jacksonville, Fla, Dec. 2O.-Ship-
yards in the fourth district, United
States shipping board, wood ship
production branch comprising the
states of Florida, Georgia, North Car
DINA and South Carolina, are now on
a big drive which will determine the
shipbuilding future in this section.
with official announcement from
Chairman Edward N. Hurley, of the
Shipping Board, that the future OF
shipbuilding absolutely depended
upon the efficiency shown by the
various yards, before them, officials
are wedding OUT men not produc-
ing. Jef
Now that the emergency need for
bottoms has been relieved to some ex-
tent. it is pointed out that unless
yards in the southeast can show that
it is more economical to build wooden
ships than composite or steel vessels,
yards more accessible to iron mines
possibly may be favored in the future.
Whether wooden ships will be built
in this district after the bulls now
under construction are completed is
not known. 1t was unefficially an
nounced sometime ago that number
of pet" yards would be eliminated
from the shipping boards program.
To date, however, only few con-
tracts have been cancelled.
There are nine yards in the fourth
district constructing wooden ships.
The first keel was laid August 81,
1917, by the American Shipbuiiding
corporation, Brunswick, Ga. Since
then twenty-three ships have been
lauuched---an approximate total OF
$4,000 tons.
Jacksonville has four yards under
the shipping hoard-the Merrill
Stevens Shipbuilding corporation, st,
Johns River Ship Yard company,
j. NJ. Murdoch Shipbuilding Co. and
the Morey-Thomas Shipbuilding Co.
Two other yards here are building
ships for private firms,
Savannah has had two yards
the National Shipbuilding Co, and
the Terry Shipbuilding corporation,
Both Of these concerns are under con-
tract with the shipping board.
At Tampa, the Tampa Lock Co.,
has shipping board contracts.
Brunswick, Ga, has two yarss
under contract with the shipping
board--the United States Maritime
corporation and the American Ship
building Co.

ITALY Will CONDUCT HER
COOPERATIVE STORES; LESSON
BY Henry Wood
UNITED Press Correspondent 4

Rome, Nov. 81. (By Mail Fol-
lowing the remarkable development
the cooperative stores movement
mas taken in Italy as a result OF the
war, the italian government has pro-
yided for establishment Of these In
stitutes under government control.
The government co-operatives will
in no way interfere with the private
1y established ones already existing.
Most of these have been established
under the auspices of various organ
lied bodies such as the Railway En-
ployes, the various labor unions,
government employees, newspaper
men and in fact by just about every
civil, social; labor and fraternity
body existing in Italy g
The government co-operatiyes at
the outset will provide for supplying
$4,000 families, or ever 100000
individuals
1t Is expected that in the purchase
on the open market Of the food and
other merchandise that will be sold
by these co-operatiyes, saving Of
five to eight per cent will be effected.
A similar saving will be made in the
selling price to the members of each
cooperative These latter at the end
of the year will also participate in
any profits which the government CO.
operatives may have acquired.
This establishment Of government
co-operatiyes by Italy marks the
greatest advance made yet by any
governmental assuming government
tai responsibility for lowering the
cost of living. ss
