 IN DECEMBER

In 6 Of 19 industries reporting to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistic for the period from Novem- Der 15 to December 15 1918, there were establishments showing wage rate increases. In one industry, au- tomdbile manufacturing, slight de- crease was reported in on establish ment- In six industries no change was recorded.
 Eleven industries show an increase in the total amount of money paid to employees in December as com pared with November, and two show a decrease. The larger increases shown over November are due chiefly to the broken employment in Novem- Der caused by peace celebrations and the Spanish influenza.
 Ill nine of the industries there was an increase in the number of per sons on the pay roll as compared With November, and in four decrease.
 Comparing the figures for Decem- Der. 1918, with those for December 1917, in identical establishments, it ap- bears that in four industries there was an increase in the number of persons employed and in nine decrase.

Portland To Build 2,0O0
 Houses

One of the cities that has been foremost in beginning to solve after, the4war problems is Portland, Greg, which is cooperating in the building campaign of the United States Depart ment of Labor. According to plans the city will construct not less than 1000 houses this year.
 Portland now has a population of 327000. and since the census of 1910 has added 104.000. In 1911, 3,224 houses were built, aggregating ill value $7,915, ,250,00O. From that year to 1917 the records show a decreasing amount oi construction. The first year of the war, 1914, only 1,429 houses Were erected and in 1917. when the United States entered the world conflict. the number had fallen to 234 lation. In 1918 there. was slight rise in building, 56S dwellings being constructed.
 Oregon is the source of an immense lumber supply and there is an abund- ance of skilled labor. For that req son the outlook is reported to ibe most encuraging for building activities that will absorb at least part of the surplus labor.

FINLAND TO FOLLOW
 AMERICAS EXAMPLE

The starvation which has prevailed in Finland during the war has given rise to discussion regarding the agri- cultural development of the country to the end that farming might be made more diversified and more acreage given to production of grain. During the past few decades dairying has been the principal pursuit of the Finnish farmers, and large quantities of butter have been exported annually. As Finland lacks sufficient supplies of fertilizing material, attention has been called to the Jfertilizing material, attention has been called to the ferti- izing methods in use in the wheat and rye producing regions of the United States. The writings of Prof Hopkins of the University of Illinois, have re- ceived particular notice.
 In the past large quantities of slaked lime hae been used as fertiliz- CT in Finland, but now it is propos- ed to follow the American method of using pulverized Limestone, This is possible, for Finland has the larg est supplies of lime in northern Ep- rope, in the so-called Time moun- tains."
 Finland is now beginning to realize what has been a recognized principle in America, namely, that "every coun- try is poor the soil of which is poor and all occupations are directly or in directly dependent OH agriculture"
