NEW PROBLEMS.

One of the problems recently aris- ing in connection with the camp near Deming, N. M., is that of girls and young women who come to Deming to be near "someone" in the camp. They often come with little money, expecting to find work, and then find that Deming is so small there is no work to be had. The Y. W. c. A. is aiding these girls as fast as they ar rive, often assisting them in getting back home again.

The reason advanced for the effort to postpone the
opening date is that the boys and girls will be needed to
work on the farms to aid in gathering the crops. There
are several dozen. perhaps several score. of Grand Forks
boys now working on farms. Many of them will continue
to work after the opening Of school II their labor is need
ed. ana in those cases full opportunity will be given to
them, as in the past. to make up the work which they
have thus omitted at the beginning Of the term. In the
meantime the two thousand or more younger children.
who are not capable Of doing any appreciable amount of
farm work, will be in school, and we know Of no Better

directors in that district are competent to select the date
that is best for the community. @

1t Makes Money Fly
(Outlook.)


Let us imagine that some i'm
mortal giant had begun at the birth
OF Christ to pile up gold dollars, put
ting down n dollar every second.
Ask yourself without stopping to cal
culate how many dollars he would
have accumulated on January 1, 1919.
You will he surprised when you come
to make the calculation to see how
far out of the way your first guess is.
According to the calculations Of the
secretary of the treasury, we shall
have to raise in our next fiscal year
over one-third the amount Of money
that would have been accumulated by
this giant II he had laid aside a gold
dollar every econd since the begin
ming of the Christian era.
Barton Hepburn, the we'll known
banker and fnancier Of New York
city, has put these figures in another
graphic form. He points out that the
total income received by the United
States government from its organiza-
ton down to the Wilson administra-
tion-in other words. from Alex-
ander Hamilton to William G.. Nc
Adoo-was $26,300, 900, 900. This in.
Guided the financing Of the war OF
1872. the Mexican war and the Civil
raise at least $24, 200, 900. 900. That
is to. say. h people of. the United
States will have to supply their gov
eminent in one year with practically
as much money as they did during
the preceding century and a quarter.

WORK OR FIGHT-NO EXCEPTIONS

Samuel Gompers has done splendid service for the
nation as head of the Federation. of Labor, and the in
ifluence for good which he has exerted is beyond estimate
But Mr.. Gonnpers does great harm to himself and the the
great labor organization which he represents in onposinp
the proposed amendment to the man-power bill which
provides that when a man has claimed and been granted
exemption from military service because of the character
OF his occupation, his exemption shall cease if he oui+s
his occupation except for sickness or other valid reason
Mr.. Gompers, in expressing his disapproval Of this
policy, declares that it is a reflection on the great body
OF laoorlng men who have thoroughly demonstrated their
loyalty. we tal to see It, A man is entitled to be ex-
empt from military service for certain reasons-becaS.e
he is too old or too young; because he has dependents
who would be left unprovided for if he were absent. he.
cause he is physically or mentally unable to perform mill
itary duties; because he is engaged in an essential indus
try, and so forth. He is not exempt because he be1ones
to any particular class or group in the community. He
is exempt, If at all, because of certain facts which exist in
his own particular case. And it is obvious that his ex-
emption should continue only SO long as the conditions
which make his exemption right and proper continue.
II an individual is exempted because Of youth. he will,
get over that in time, and then he will then no longer be
exempt. I 1ll-health Is the cause, and his health is re-
stored ne should not continue to be exempt. If he is ex-
empted because he is the sole support of aged and in
firm parents, and later the parents die, the exemption
should not be continued. And if a man is granted ex-
enpt1on Inc sole reason That he Is engaged in a es-
sential industry, he is entitled to exemption on that ground
only SO long as his employment in that industry contin-
ues. Y
Everyone understands that the main purpose Of thi.
proposed amendment is to prevent strikes. That is an
excellent purpose. Strikes should be prevented. The great
body of wage-earners throughout the country are labor
ing industriously and periodically, and participating in
successful efforts to have their wages and conditions Of
work adjusted without strikes. The bill, If amended as
proposed, will not affect these men at all. They will con-
tinue as they are now. It will affect, and it ought to at
feet the few who, In order to enforce whatever demands
they choose to make, are willing to halt the entire ;ndua-
trial machinery of the country. Those men wherever
they are to be found. are entitled to no exemption and no
defense. \

newspapers within his territory, Di-
rector Winchell has asked them to

A WISE DECISION

acted wisely in deciding to open the city schools on Sep
TENDER 1s instead of a later date, as has been suggested,
a few weeks ago a local member Of the state Council Of
Defense stated at a public meeting in this city that the
council had issued an order providing that schools should
not be opened before October ]. and he confirmed -this
later In a private statement. It appears he had nor !
proper understanding OF what had been done by the bod,
OF which he was . member. as later information is to ii.
effect that the council issued NO order. but merely adopt
ed q resolution recommending that the opening OF the
schools be deferred.

but due to an erroneous or an imagin-
airy grievance, the regional director
is in better position than n one
else to ascertain its status, readjust
the compliments mind, and put it to
rights. y
This is no new departure upon Mr..
Winchell's part, for it involves only a
principle which he invoked several
years ago when in charge of the great
Union Pacific railroad system. AT
that time he created considerable stir
in rail circles as being the first execu-
tive in the history Of American rail-
reading to advertise for complaints"
The policy worked out with splendid
results. and under it the prosperity
Of and the popular goodwill toward
the Union Pacific grew "by leaps and
bounds"
Now he applies his thoroughly tried
and proved policy to his part in the
great scheme Of federal controI-and

members Of the league in the ranks is that these men,
Maxwell, who wrote the exposure, and Gilbert, Williams
and the rest Of the seventeen which, signed the protest
which Townley threw into the basket, are the same men
from whom, a few weeks ago, the farmers of the state
were receiving the doctrines Of Townleyism. who were
hand and glove with Townley. doing his errands, carrying
out his orders. and. who, coming direct from the fountain
head, were supposed to be Of the very elect.
Now. when a league organizer appears in a commu-
nifty. doing exactly the things that these men did, preach
ing exactly the same doctrine. bearing, as these men did,
the endorsement Of Townley, the question wlf naturally
arise whether or not these men also are wolves in sleeps
clothing; whether or not they also are seeking. to build
up personal machines Of their own: whether or not they,
also, are working on the Job with no thought of public
service, but merely for what there is in it.
If Townley is as these one-time trusted employees have
painted him, it looks rather bad for Townley. If they are
as the mouthpieces of Townley describe them. what guar
antee have the farmers for the future that any Townley
stroke is trustworthy?

RACES FEATURE OF
 AERIAL PROGRAMME

Saturday will be a memorable day for Birmingham. On that date Uncle Sam will stage the first aerial circus ever attempted in the south. Aviators from Taylor field at Montgomery are com ing to the city with the spirit of rivalry flowing through their veins
 When these aviators start their aerial performance at the State Fair grounds Saturday real contests are to make up a part of the programme Races are to be flown and the aviator making the best speed will be crowned the "ha~'nior sneed demon of the camp at Montgomery.
 The greatest dare devil in the bunch is to receive a surprise as an award of merit over his brother competitors. Judges from the aviation field will be called upon to decide the best stunt flyer as the layman knows little of the flying game.
 He can tell when a stunt looks haz- ardous, but he is no judge of when an airman makes pebble or fails to execute a trick as gracefully as he should
 M thA tricks lrown to the flying profession are going to be staged at the fairgrounds Saturday and 1t will be the greatest day in Birmingham's his- tory from an aerial standpoint. Hun dreds of visitors from all over the state will co-,e to Rir-,',,~hano ard ioin To- cal citizens in taking in this super- air attraction.
