' From Edgar Barnes

Somewhere in France. Mir. w. A. Barnes
 Dear Father:-Will try to write you a few lines to let you know I am all o. K. Hope you are the same.
 It is raining here this morning and it is pretty cold, but we are getting along fine.
 How is every body at home, fine and dandy 1 hope. Wish see all and have long, long talk.
 This is some farming country here, wish you could see it.. They grow some fine potatoes here. 1 helped some girls pick up some of them had great time, 1 plowed a round for a French boy yesterday.
 This land is yellow clay, but it is good soil. It is also a hilly country, but it is certainly a pretty country. l saw the pret, tiest country and towns the other day l ever saw in my life.
 They have been having church here where we are at, but I did not go for l could not understand them, and so thought l would write some letters.
 We have moved since l wrote you last but this is much better part of the country than where 1 was: it is colder here but l like it much better.
 It is getting about dinner time and 1 can't think of much to write, so 1 will close for this time hoping 0 hear from you all soon.
 Your son,

IN MEMORIAM.

The blighting hand of infuen- ga pneumonia fell on the peaceful home of Mr. and Mrs. Jessup Childers of Barnes on Thursday night, Nov 7th and snatched from them their beautiful flower. their darling daughter Lillie.
 She was a beautiful, accom-. plished young lady just budding into beautiful, pure womanhood She was bright. quick to learn, and an industrious and obedient daughter, a bright light in society, kind and true and ever ready to minister to the needy. Every one that knew her was her friend.
 To her parents and relatives will say, mourn net for Jesus Whis pered come up to Heaven, where there is no pain or sori ow, where she will unfold as a beaut- iful flower in the spring time, warmed by the sunshine of Christ's pure love, watered by the river of life, free from all pam and sorrow a Lillie indeed and iu fact.
 A home has pain and sorrow. Because of jewell rare
 Have gone and left them.
 But she IS with Christ up There. Christ sent his angels to call her Up to her home up above,
 Where there is no pain and sorrow, To the fountain of pure love To learn that sweet song in Heaven, That no one on earth can know. Christ called for Lille,
 And to him she was forced to- No sorrow enters Heaven.

 While We on earth have troubles. She has gone to eternal rest.

MUST PREPARE FOR PEACE
United States Will Face Gigantic Rev.
olution of Industry at the Con.
cIusion of the War.

Two, three, four, or. even five mil
hon men may be withdrawn from oc-
! equations in the United States for
| military operations in France. Five
| millions may seem to be an extraya-
CANT estimate to us now, but the gov
eminent wisely establishes no maxi
mum in its plans. Men must be taken
until enough have been sent to win the
victory the United States must have.
says an editorial writer In the Chi
| cago Tribune.
| AS men are taken in greater num-
bers the war industries behind them
must grow In extent, scope, and pow
er. Already such industries have bro
ken down many normal industries, and
as the military force of the nation is.
developed the substitution of war in
dustry for normal industry, of war oc-
cupation for normal occupation, will
increase.
Here again it would be unsafe to es-
innate the number of men and women
who will be transferred from the work
they were doing in peace times, from
work to which they must return in.
peace time.
Peace, when it comes, will bring
with it gigantic revolution of indus
try. The situation will be one in
which new order will struggle for
establishment. Industries converted to
war purposes must be reconverted for
peace purposes. Great industries
which have been built up in the war
emergency will not be needed. And
into the complications arising out of
the shifting and shutting down Of in
dustries the millions of soldiers and
the millions of war workers will be
thrown.
The United States must prepare
against it. The system must be ready
to take up the returning stream of
workers. Conditions can be foreseen
and there must be provision. We pre-
cipitated ourselves into most expen-
sive, dangerous difficulties by not pre-
pairing for the war IDEAL If there
were any excuse for that it must be
found in our explanation that we are
not military nation and cannot think
with military caution and prudence.
But we claim to be. an industrial
and commercial nation, and if we pre-
cipitate ourselves into an expensive
and dangerous ordeal of peace it will
be without excuse. We may reconcile
ourselves to the mishaps and suffer-
ings brought upon our soldiers be-
cause of the lack of military foresight
and reconcile ourselves with the ex-
PLANTATION that we are not trained to
military wisdom, but we certainly
shall have difficulty in reconcfling our
selves to conditions in industry which
produce suffering for the men who
come back from France and the men
VINO have been in war industries.

SAYS THERE ISNO
LABOR SHORTAGE
Writer Declares More Effective
Use of Available Workers
Is Needed.
ORGANIZATION is LACKING
Immediate Action on Part of Govern.
ment Is Necessary to Bring
Order Out Of Chaos, It Is
Asserted.

Organization Of the labor market is
the essence Of the employment situa-
ton. u How to use more effectively the
available labor rather than how to in
crease the labor supply is the question,
according to a writer in One Hundred
Per Cent, Chicago periodical. He
does not believe there is shortage of
labor.
Further discussing the situation, this
writer says: Every employment Office
Is besieged by mass of skilled as well
as unskilled labor seeking employment.
Further, we are still following the old
and unscientific and immensely I'M
profitable method of taking each 9TH
er's employees-agents from one fac
tory doing war work trying to hire
away employees in another. We are
going straight ahead regardless Of the
fact that the labor turnover of the av-
erage factory is running from 100 to
1000 per cent. We are still lacking in
the cooperation that arranges season
al employments, and the idle seasons
of one industry are not connected with
other rush seasons
Investigation shows that the war
has made little or no change in the es-
innate Of 10 per cent of skilled and 20
per cent of unskilled workers who are
voluntarily unemployed every day
changing jobs, looking for jobs or lay
ing off,
sour governmental departments lack
organization in their conduct of work
relating to the war. Each department,
thinking it's work most important, is
establishing reserve of men. The
governmental labor exchange system
in this country consists Of some 90
combination federal state municipal
agencies, scattered and with limited
funds, loosely affiliated with 100 or
more state and municipal agencies and
competing with 5000 agencies charg-
ing fees, long established in business,
speaking various languages. Without
regulation and defined rules of compe-
tition it cannot organize the labor mar
ket successfully.
"But, unfortunately, the condition is
not limited to private agencies and in
dividual employers but hundreds of
philanthropic agencies middle the sit
uation still further.
"In view of these unerganized condi-
tons, is it any wonder that we are la
menting the shortage of labor? What
we need is immediate action to bring
order out of existing chaos. We must
see that justice prevails between In
dustrial plants, between governmental
departments seeking men, between the
men and women seeking work. 1t is alb
solutely essential to win the war that
the industries that have priority of
material have priority of men and that
other Industries have an equitable di-
vision of the remainder. To bring this
about immediate action on the part of
the government is needed"

UNION HIT HARD BY WAR
Organization of Merchant Seamen
SuppIies More Than Any
other In World.

Probably there is no union in the
world that has suffered more from the
war than the union which acknowl-
edges Mr.. Wilson as its leader, the
Toronto Mail and Empire observes. 1t
is made up of the men who take the
merchant ships across the Atlantic
and through the seven seas, who face
the submarine menace, who have per-
ished by the thousands that the seas
may be kept open and the people of
the British isles be fed. It is this
union that is made up of such men as
those who manned the Tuscania and
VINO 4S hours after the vessel was tor
pedoed had returned to British port
and We're ready to ship Immediately.
The heroism of the merchant seamen
Of Great Britain can never be suffi-
GENTLY extolled. They have a harder
task than the men In the navy. They
are not commonly recognized as fight
ing men; they are classified as labor
ers or workingmen. If there is
union in the world that has earned
Victoria cross it is this union. But
for the patriotism and courage of it's
members the submarine crusade would
have succeeded before now. Yet it
has been left for other bodies of
workingmen, far removed from the fir
ing line and the imminent peril of
death. to embarrass the government
by demands for increased pay and po-
litical recognition. If all the unions
In the British isles were like the sea-
mems union the kaiser would take less
joy In them.
