quartet Of brothers are surrounded
with an excellent company and all
in all present 80 minutes Of laugh

Every word in il IS Employs
Every thought in il is Employs.
Nothing was changed in the editing,
or collating. and one of the chief
charms Of the book is the simple
language in which Empey tells his
story. All the time he wrote as one
soldier TO another, because he had

so universally popular, believing, in

would be 10 soldiers only. He told

Washington, Feb. 1S.-Failure of

Industrial structure" according to
Roger W. Babson, special agent of
the employment service OF the de-
partment OF labor whose views gained
during a recent trip through the west,
are set forth today In an employment
service bulletin.
Although starting his trip with the
idea of educating the workers to the
needs of. the present situation, Mr..
Babson says he returned with the
idea, that the manufacturers, espe-
cially those in some localities need
fully as much missionary work as
do, workers." t..E "a. ~.
'"The labor difficulty at present is
one Of improper distribution rather
than shortage. The complaints of
manufacturers, l found. have arisen
not so much from their difficulty in
obtaining labor but in their difficulty
In obtaining 1t at the prices which
the manufacturers desire to pay. Ny
principal difficulty was in convincing
manufacturers of the increase in the
cost Of living to wage earners and in
wages.
THE manufacturers who are not

materials which they must use, are

regiments from the north.
Baptists lead in the membership
with $3.50. Methodists are next with
6.144. Other denominations with
more than 1000 members are Chris
tian 2.77l. Roman Catholics, 2,s25,
and Presbyterians 1885. The COM
paratively small proportion Of Roman
