Arthur HaVdOn.

Arthur Hayden died Wednesday,
Oct %. 1918, at Mercy Hospital,
Council Bluffs, Iowa, after an illness
of two weeks of pneumonia, follow
ing Spanish influenza, aged 81
years. eight months and twenty
five days.
William Arthur Hayden. eldest

Mo-, was born in Marion County,

Handling Labor Shortage.

Different places are getting a good
deal different results in the matter
of supplying the shortage of labor
in farming and war industries. In
some places it is more or less hap
hazard, and thore is no general co
operation. Employers bid against
each other, employees drift from one
shop to another in search OF higher
wages. A large number of new
men have to be broken in all the
time. and a force never gets down
to a working basis.
The situation is terribly serious,
because of the need of men for war
munitions is not being met. The
War Department has projected an
enormous war program, but it takes
an enormous amount of material to
carry it out. II we can have plenty
of shells. we can blast our way next
year to Berlin. Otherwise not It..
Whatever we fall short in material
will have to be made up with the
bodies of our young men.
In the little state of Delaware
they have had unusual success in
handling the labor problem through
Community Labor Boards. These
are working harmoniously to draw
labor from the less essential in .
dustries and put it where it is most
needed.
The first day that the first of these
boards got to work, it issued notices
to $50 workers employed in the less
essential industries. Within "a
hours after they were mailed, 60 of
these workers called at the employ
ment office. and were assigned to
essential war work where theiI
work was badly needed.
Thirty five of the jOurneymer
BARRIERS in Wilmington, Del, were
called on to enter essential indus
tries, and everyone of them has
responded.
If the government could get that
kind of cooperation everywhere we
would not hear much more o
scarcity of labor or of inability o
the munition plants, farms, anC
other productive agencies to dc
what is expected of them.

residents thereof. All persons are ex- pected to offer such services as they can afford in this patriotic duty with out compensation. Volunteer regis trars who offer their services free O. charge may be appointed in such num- bers as may be used in any pre- einct.
 If volunteer interpreters cannot be obtained, persons may be employed and compensated as provided in sec tion twenty-eight of registration regu- lations, but volunteer registrars who can act as interpreters should be Ob- tained whenever possible.
 Officials to Assist
 Governors, mayors, city clerks and county authorities will be called upon by the president in regulations to as- sist local boards in providing suitable places for registration and to obtain cooperation of the proper election commissioners and custOdians or O1- ficers in charge of election machinery and public buildings. When voting booths are available, arrangements should be made for their use together with such equipment as is usually supplied for use in registering voters. Where the customary voting places are in private buildings, proprietors should be requested 10 afford assist ance to local authorities by permitting the use of such places for purposes of registration.
 The presidents proclamation to be issued upon the passage of the act by congress will fix the date for registra- tion and the adjutant general or draft executive of each state will be furnish ed in advance with necessary blanks and forms to conduct registration.
 Should Be No Delay
 Local boards should obtain the CO., operation of the political organiza- tions, county councils of national de fense, committees on public safety and similar agencies within the jurisdic- ton to assist in bringing about com plete registration.
 The task confronting the state or ganization and the local boards is known to be a great one, but it is con fidently expected that the national draft organization will respond to the call and make all preliminary arrange ments for the registration in order that there may be no delay in register ing the persons to be subject tO draft upon the passage of the necessary leg islation and the issuance of ;he presi- dents proclamation.

DANCING AS USUAL"
Ccelett Burgess of the vigilantosl

(Celett Burgess of the Vigilantes)
 In the Broadway restaurant, where the orchestra leader wiggles and grins and squirms as he gaily plays his violin, the music struck up
 "Over there. over therei" and the little imitation widow in her bogus weeds, merry parody of suffering, jumped up and laid her hand on the back of the lounge lizard, lean and 1.-the in his pinch back palm beach suit,
 Say a prayer, say a prayer" and off they capered like beetles on tomb stone.
 And at that minute, at Mount Vernon, the president of the United States was gravely saying to representatives of thirty nationalities, devoted to the cause of lib erty:
 The Past and Present are in deadly grapple and the peoples of the world are being done to death between them.
 Now, in the second year of the war was at Les Stables d'Olonne on the coast of France. At the Pavilion, there, one night, Partisan banker, no doubt a profi- teer, gave party for his daughters birth day The guests began to dance
 l would like to see a crowd from Broad way rise as rose those French fisher folk that nightl 1 would like to see that merry mock widow and that tango lizard chased through the streets of New York as saw those Parisian merry-makers hooted down the beautiful Stables d'Olonne.
 Surely, as the French say, It is the moment?" How many Americans must die in France before we are dancing as usual?

TOBACCO PRICES TO SHOOT UPWARD
 VERY SOON
New Revenue Bill Will Place an Additional Burden on Smokin g, Chewing and Snuff Users

When the new revenue bill is enac:- ed in accordance with the recommen- dations of the house committee, the era of the five-cent cigar will have passed into the limbo of things that were. There will be a corresponding increase in chewing tobacco and snuff. However. it is not anticipated thaS there will be a decrease in smoking. The percapita consumption of tobacco in the fiscal year just closed was the greatest ia the history of the country, notwithstanding the increase in prices as Q result of the first war revenue bill
 At the Bisbee Smoke. House, it was learned that no local decrease in the use of tobacco is expected.
 .''The object of the revenue legisls- ton is not to discourage the use of the taxed article, but to increase the gov ernment's revenue, and smokers seem to figure that they are helping the government. There may be grading down to the individual smokers selec- tions, but do not anticipate that anti smoking resolutions will be any mere popular or effic1cious next New Years day than before"
 The application of the new law will not encourage the use of the penny here, it was learned at the Smoke House Pennies are too hard to han die and create too much chance for .Is-~,,@snv, .Is sc r.rn1,- hlc fh af the necessity for handling pennies will be eliminated by charging twenty-five cents for four or fifteen cents for two of the grade of cigars now selling for five cents; ten cent cigars will go up to two for a quarter, etc.
 Fifteen cent cigarettes, owing to the increase in taxation, probably will ad- vance to twenty-five cents.
 Snuff users-and they are here in considerable number-who pay ten cents a can for their nasal delight, will soon have to pay something like fifteen cents or two for a quarter.
 The tobacco chewer, however, will be hit hardest, as he already has been. The size of a ten-cent piece has de- creased almost 30 per cent within the last year and, after the new laws gets in it's work this form of the weed will sell at about two spits for two bits
 Tobacco already is bearing one-third of the internal revenue burden, accord ing to local tobacconists, and as it is not e necessity the government is pre- pairing to slap on a tax increase of about 50 per cent. The experience of tobacconists, however, is that increase in taxes and consequent raise in price do not affect sales.

AMERICANS ARE DELIGHTED
 AT NEWS FROM FRONT
ocontInuea from PaEe onsl

NCOnunueu rom Eabe Ouel
 Secretary Baker said today that the new program of the war department of 5,0C0.O00 men by next spring was recommended by the military section Of the supreme war council at Yer sailles. From this was drawn the 1e- iuctiOn that these highly trained mill tary students of all the allied nations have reachel the conclusion that with such an American force coming on. the pooled resources on the western front were already sufficient to permit General Foch to begin his effort to oust the enemy and destroy his mili- tary power.
 The decision. it was already known. was reached here late in July. after the battle to drive the Germans back from the Marne was so far progressed that a great victory was assured. Sec retarv Baker said. however. that it had been under discussion for a con siderable time before that at Versail- les This was taken to mean that the leaders at Versailles are sure of vic tcry new on the cool basis of organized fighting power backed by limitless re- sources in war materials and the drive today in Picardy brings the victory one step nearer.
