IsH11's CONFIDENT VIEW.

Viscount Ishii, the new Japanese ambassador
to the United States, who is about to start for
this country, urges his own people to follow
Americas lead and take a more active interest
in the war. AS special commissioner, he spent
several months here last year. He found no
evidence of failure to understand the meaning
of the struggle in which we are engaged, nor
did he discover any lack of interest. He says
Americans have shown their determination to
win the war, no matter what the cost.
His confident view and his faith, not alone
in our purpose but in our ability to win, are
based on personal observation. He Travelled
through the United States just as we had COM
pleted five months of war activities. 1t was
a splendid chance to observe wartime America
he says, 'tand I was tremendously impressed
with the unanimity of public opinion, the en-
thusiastic spirit of her people and the gigantic
scale of her military preparation" This is
high praise, but this keen and competent OBJ
server does not stop there. Viscount Ishii saw
many large barracks for recruits building, and
he twas astonished at the regularity with which
they we're laid out, the rapidity OF their con-
struction, the greatness of the scale, the excel
lent sanitary precautions and especially the
developed condition Of Americas me-
chanical industries which made possible the
rapid carrying out of such a huge undertaking. =
Other things have impressed the distng-
uished statesmen who is to represent Japan at
One is Gernany's ''amazing mis-
calculation in failing ''to realize into what a
formidable military power a great industrial
nation like the United States can be turned
when occasion becomes imperative" Occasion
had become imperative when Ishii was here last
year. His words are as significant as they are
gracious when he says that in America 'po-
triotism dominates every other impulse A
fine tribute from one whose intelligence and
friendship are highly esteemed.

TRUCK BOUGHT
BY SUPERVISORS
Lee County Board Purchases Big
Auto for Use In Bridge and
Road Work In the
County.

Closing Of a contract for the DUR
chase OF a modern truck for the serv-
ice OF the bridge and building depart
ment of the county was affected at a
meeting Of the board of supervisors
and Frank Kloppenstein, local repre-
sentative Of the Duplex Truck COM
pany, here today, says the Fort Madi-
son Democrat. The Keokuk Paige
company are distributors for this
truck in Lee county.
The supervisors ordered the pur-
chase OF q Duplex four-wheel drive
truck OF three and one-halr tons
capacity. The purchase price was
$4,000. The truck is a large ne.
probably the largest that will be in
service in the county.
The board decided on the purchase
OF the truck of large capacity with
the view of economy. As the supplies
of the bridge and building department
are heavy, it was believed that a truck
of that size could handle them In one
trip which offsets the possibility Of
being forced to make two trips over
the roads between working points.
The bridge and building department.
OF the county has long been handi-
capped through inadequate carriage
facilities, the supplies being hauled
by teams to different parts Of the
county at a heavy expense.

RECRUITING A LABOR.

Every p~ostoffce in rural America Is TO become
"a recruiting Office for farm labor, according TO
an announcement of the federal department of
labor. Within the next few days there viii be
in operation a chain of ffty-fve thousand such
offices, and eff farmers will but use Them - the
department says, E'none should fail TO obtain
all the labor available to plant, cultivate and
harvest a maximum acreage this year"
'sBy an agreement between the department
of labor and the ~postofice department all post
masters of the third and fourth classes and the
rural carriers are appointed ''farm labor
agents. of the federal employment service.
These agents are to be under the supervision
Of representatives of the department of agi-
culture, who will classify the farm labor and
undertake to distribute it so as to secure the
highest possible efficiency. Every rural car
rier and every postmaster is provided with ap-
r,1ication blanks which farmers needing help can
fill out. These are sent by the carrier to the
local postmaster, who will endeavor to fill the
calls from the available local supply. If unable
to do this he will forward the application to the
nearest district office, which will draw on the
labor supply in sections where there is a surplus.
.sThe success of this farm labor supply sys-
tenn according to the labor department, "de
ponds largely upon the cooperation winch the
farmer himself gives. He must notify the local
postmaster of his labor requirements In time
and he must be definite as to wages, length of
employment, character of farm work to be per
formed and living conditions"
This plan provides the farmers a free en-
ployment exchange in every community, with
a central organization, or clearing house, and
should prove to be effective in solving the labor
problem providing the supply is sufficient to
meet the needs OF the farmers. 1t is evidently
q practical effort to aid farmers to speed up
production
