PLAYED BIG
PART IN THE WAR
Chaplain Asserts That People
Held In Line BY Consistent
and Persistent Work
of Missionaries.

Mitchell. S. D., March 10.-India
played a wonderful part In the war,
according to DIR. A. b. Moss, formerly
chaplain in the Indian service in the
British army. THE eagerness with
which the Indian regiments went into
.he fray, and the glory they won for
their standards and the morale of the
PEOPLE who remained at home, was due
act to the activity of the British agents
of the crown or the lawyers of the
calm. The missionaries Of the church
we're the men and the women who
Kept the natives In line, and to them
belongs all the praise and the glory for
The work the Indian regiments did both
at home and in France"
DIR. Hall spoke at the chapel exer-
cises OF Dakota Wesleyan university.

Wages and Living Cost.
From the New York Post.

Prof. Irving Fisher has made an investigation, of which the re-
suits are published by the bureau Of labor statistics, showing that the
number of establishments which vary wages with the fluctuations
in the cost of living, scientifically computed, is growing. The Eve.
ming Post listed some time ago-the Bankers Trust Company, the
Oneida Community, the acknowledges Hardware Company Of
Duluth, the Worthington Hardware Company of Cleveland, and
others. Professor Fisher adds a clothing company in New Haven,
and various northwestern FIGURING mills which have raised wages,
according to an "index number calculated by professors at the Uni
veraty Of Washington. But he points out as the chief use of index
figures that by the shipbuilding labor adjustment beard and the ma.
tional war labor board in settling wage disputes. The former has
adopted the plan of making semi,annual wage adjustments in all
shipbuildng eenters On the basis of living cost figures presented by
the introduction Of quarterly adjustments. The substitution Of q
scientific for a rule-ofthumb treatment of wage changes is certainly
to be encouraged. 1t has ono advantage for the employer: rule-of-
thumb changes must be upwards, or the cmploye is keenly dissatis-
fled; while the use of index numbers may show why reductions have
to be made. ~ -.. ~ F > u&a-.f rtA# ,0s

MITCHELL WOMEN

women are casting their eyes toward
political municipal positions and &C
cording to more or less persistent ru-

Mrs. Myra Weller, president of the

while refusing to discuss the question
of whether or not the women would en-

declare that every effort would be made
to place a woman on the board Of ed

political office which should be open to
the women of the city, it is the school
board. Women will have to register
two weeks before the April election and
the franchise league will try and see
to it hat every womSn in the city not

 "The principle of open shop is vital to the greatest industrial prog ress and prosperity It is of equal benefit to employer and employee It means that every man may engage in any line of employment that he selects, and under such terms as he and the employer may agree upon; that he may arrange for the kind and character of work which he be lieves will bring to him the largest compensation and the most satisfac' tory conditions, depending upon his own merit and disposition.
 "The closed shop means that no man can obtain employment in that shop except through and upon the terms and conditions imposed by the Labor unions. He is compelled tc 'oin the labor union and submit tc the dictation of it's leader he is then restricted as to place oi work. hours of work (and therefore amount of compensation) and ad vancement in position, regardless ol merit; and some times by the dictun of the union leader called out ano prevented from working for days ol weeks, although he has no req grievance, and he and his family are suffering for want of necessities ol life :.
