Fargo, North Dakota.
Americas biggest shell loading
plant is gone. There are other plants
in operation, still others under con-
struction work and all is seriously
retarded by lack of labor. The ord
nance department states immediate
labor shortage in existing munition
plants one hundred nine thousand
unskilled laborers. Even greater
numbers needed for army construc-
tion projects. The only way to make
good the loss in shells and to absorb
the shock so that it shall not injure
Pershing's men is to fill this labor
shortage at once. In view of these
facts a real location of total labor de
mands among the States will be made
at once. The requirements in your
State will tax your utmost effort.
These can be filled only by getting
men from non essentials. Community
Labor Boards must expedite combing
non essentials and replacing men by
women Make clear to people of your
State their duty in the emergency.
Element of risk in shell loading plants
will deter no real man or woman.
Americans are not afraid either in the
trenches or at posts OF danger at
home.

ARE YOU DOING WHAT YOU CAN
TO HELP UNCLE SAM WIN THE
WAR?

The United States has raised an I'M
mense army in a short time. At this
time the Government has begun to
raise another big army. This work
has all been rapidly and splendidly
carried out. The raising of a big
army however, is not matter that can
be done as one big job. If these
armies are to be useful and efficient
there must be a great number of sup
porting industries. These indus
tries are in the making just as our
armies are in the making. When
Uncle Sam Joined the ranks of the
Allies, he had neither armies nor
supporting industries. His armies are
now we'll under way. In fact they
have outstripped the industries neces-
sary to the proper maintenance of the
armies. For this reason the Govern
ment IA now recruiting laborers Of all
kinds; carpenters, masons, common
lab0rers. ETC., etc. It Is not necessary
to pass the strenuous physical examin'
alton required for the army. It is not
quite as patriotic to be building up
Uncle Sans war Industries as it is
to be in the Service, but it is patriotic
nevertheless. The Government needs
at tn istime, all available help so that
the U. S. may in the shortest time
possible be running at full war capaci-
ty. It is your duty and mine to do
what we can. II you are farmer.
and can be spared from your farm 70
few months during the winter then
you ought to go. If you are a busi-
ness man doing some work not es-
sential to the war; If your work can
be handled in some way without your
presence, then you ought to go, ETC.,
etc. It simply means that there can
be no idlers of any kind. All man
power is needed and all man power
ought to be ready to do its parts.
In order that more men will have
an opportunity to get information
and particulars a labor organization
has been perfected in every State.
The work in North Dakota is handled
by Mr.. L. H. Patton, Federal Director
at Fargo. In each County Commun-
ity Labor Board has been established.
In Richland County this Community
Labor Board consists of County Agent
Wolf, Chairman. c. E. Lounsbury, W.
B. Aspinwall. Martha T. Fulton and
Wilhimina I. Witt. 1t is further de-
sired to have subcommittee in every
community These subcommittee
will be appointed in the near future
The services of organizations al

committees would handle this matter
splendidly. They would be wonder.

We do not have a county system but
have organized boards at points
where labor is apt to be plentiful
and where it is customary for labor
to congregate.
We have sent you a list of non-es-

and report to this office.

Immediately regarding the farm la
Dor situation for next year and will
take this matter up with you in the

arrange some sort of an agreement
regarding one cent fare or a rotary

next year to ship to the harvest fields
the matter of transportation will not
delay their shipment.

hear from you further regarding the

turned in, receipt is given for it.
The Salvation Army, itself an ex-

cial Travellers.
= Meeting Held Last Night.
About thirty members of h Ad
club, representative of the Elks' COM
mittee and Union Commercial Trav-
elers, attended the banquet given at
the Frederick<hotel last evening, to
make the final arrangements for the
raising of $500 for the Salvation
Army war fund. q
After the dinner, Attorney Tracy r.
Bangs, chairman of the occasion. gave
an interesting short talk, introducing
j. H. Pearson. business manager of
The Herald and secretary of the Ad
club.
MIR. Pearson said hat when Mr..
VIM. DeChepley asked for the help of
the Ad club, he gladly offered to
place the proposition before his ex-
ecutive committee, and they gladly
responded to the call. Mr.. Pearson
then went on to- tell of the work of
the Salvation Army in England. He
spoke of the fact. that men who came
to the Army for help were given food
and shelter, and were asked to do
work, such as carpentering or wood
chopping. to defray their expenses.
When the trade unions of London
protested against this, Mr.. Pearson
was asked to investigate, and his
story of the conditions that he found
was absorbingly interesting. The gist
of the story. and the fact that stood
out through the whole talk, was that
they will go where nobody else will
go"
Mr.. Pearson said that the boys of
the Ad club and the business mensto
whom he had spoken, as being very
well pleased with the work of the
Army, and that he was sure that they
