ALL WORK TOGETHER

The United States is in the great war
to finish. It is going to be up to US from
now on to furnish most Of the money and
men. Industries must produce as they
have never done before and those of us
who remain at home must prepare to DO
double the work we ever thought that
we could do.
We are emerging from the first year
of our activities with good results and
some lessons well learned. One Of the
most important Of which is that in times
of stress political management Of vital
industries must give place to business
management and organization Of the.
highest order. aBck Of our entire mill
tary program stand the thousand and
one industries of the United States.
The money for financing our vast ac-
Invites must come from these industries
through bond subscription from their
owners and employees, and through taxa
ton. The fact has been clearly demon
strated, that any regulation which ham,
pers an industry has invariably curtail-
ed production and defeated the very ends
the regulation aimed at
All lines Of legitimate industry should
be given to understand that they will
have the full cooperation and assistance
Of the government. They should be as
sured that they viii be secure in going
ahead and making investments for de-
velopment purposes which will mean the
maximum production.
Uncertainty due to too much political
tinkering causes feeling Of uneasiness
on the part Of the man who foots the
payroll. The nation cannot afford to
engender this feeling. To raise the bill
lions necessary for this war every in
dustry must expand and make good prof
its and pay good wages. It can then pay
taxes to the limit, but half starved in
dustry or discouraged industry is like
a half starved or discouraged soldier, it
is not efficient.
Therefore, let our lawmakers, both
state and national, realize that any poll
.cies which discourage and cripple in
dustries, are simply monkey wrenches
thrown in the cog wheels Of our war ma
chinery and whether it be a peanut stand
or mining company which is affected
the financial resources Of the nation are
cut by just that much.

LaeustraI Settlements.

The lacustral settlements were
places of refuge for a pastoral and ag'
rieultural people, and the light and
dryness that characterized the dwell.
ings show a step in advance toward
more permanent abodes. In this period
science places the beginning of civili'
cation. BY these lacustrine men spin
ming and weaving were invented. Ag'
riculture was born among them ami
mails were domesticated-the OK, the
COW, the sheep, the goat, the dog. The
uses of metal were discovered, and
the age of iron was ushered in. Habi'
tations similar 10 these still exist In
the East Indies, and among the Anna
zonian tribes Of Maracaibo. They ex.
listed also In Lake Prasias, In Thrace,
during the time of Herodotus, the
Greek historian.

Billy Louise did not write much.
She explained that she could only
scribble a line or two while mommie
slept. Mommie was about the same.
she did not think there vas anything
Ward could do, and she thanked him
for Offering to help. There was moth
ing, she said pathetically, that anybody
could do. Even the doctors did not

lies and charge her for them. No; she
did not need any money. THANK you

all. 1t did not sound in the least Ike
Billy Louise.
Ward answered the note then and
there and called her Wilhemina-mine
which was an awkward name to write
and cost him five minutes of cogitation
over the spelling. But he wanted 1t
down on paper where she could see 1t
and remember how 1t sounded when he
said it, even If it did look queer. Far
Their along he started to call her Bill
Loo. but rubbed it out and substituted
Lady Girl with capitals). Altogether
he did better than he knew, for he
made Billy Louise cry when she read
1t, and he made her say Dear Ward
under her breath and remember how
his hair waved over his left temple
and how he looked when that smile hid
Just behind his lips and his eyes, and
he made her forget that she had lost
faith in him. She needed to cry, and
she needed to remember and also to
forget some things, for life vas a hard
dull drab in Boise. with nothing to
tighten it save a vicarious hope that
did not comfort.
Billy Louise was not stupid. She
saw through the vagueness of the doc
tors, and. besides, she was so hungry
for her hills that she felt like beating
the doctors with her fists because they
did nothing to make her mommie well
enough to go home. She grew to hate
the nurse and her neutral cheerfulness.
That is how the fall passed for Billy
Louise and the early part Of the win

The Wolverine for news. And the news
was m-onotonously scant. Phoebe could
read and write after a fashion, and
Billy Louise sent her a letter now and
then, saying that mommie was about
the same and that she wanted John
to do certain things about the ranch.
She could not leave mommie, she said.
Ward gathered that she would not.
Once when he was at the ranch he
wrote a letter to Billy Louise and told
her that he would come to Boise if
there was anything he could do and
begged her to let him know If she
needed any money. Beyond that he
worked and worked and tried TO crowd
the lonesomeness out of his days and
the hunger from his dreams with COM

pect an answer to his ietter-at least
he told himself that he did not~but
one day Phoebe gave him a thin little
