Washington, Dec. 6.-Eastern news
papers are devoting considerable space
to the action of South Dakota demo-
| Gratis in indorsing Mr.. Wilson for an
other term. Some comment on it as
| an effort to start a movement for the
| presidents denomination.
The New York Times, an administra-
ton paper, in a Washington dispatch
| says the action is regarded by some as
| making the beginning OF a third term
movement. The Times points out the
action was taken at the suggestion OF
Senator Johnson. In part, the Times
says:
Much comment was caused in po-
litical circles here today by the action
of the convention. which was consid-
cred by some to mark the beginning Of
an effort to make President Wilson
the democratic candidate for president
next year. I sent the resolution out
there myself said Senator Johnson
today. I think it was the only course
to follow. President Wilson nay be an
i'll man, but he has given up the great
est part of his life to a great work.
President Best Man.
Senator johnson indicated that he
considered the president by far the
best of the democratic presidential
possibilities. He pointed out that un-
der the law South Dakota democrats
would be free to make another choice

HOURS AND PRODUCTION.
David Lloyd George.

It is true that hours OF labor have
been reduced. One of the arguments
In favor Of the reduction of the
hours Of labor I have heard in this
house (house Of commonsl for the
last 20 or 30 years was that o
would not reduce production and i,
that, on the contrary, you might
increase production. I have heard
1t many q time when I used to vote
for the eight-hour bill for miners. I
heard 1t on the seven hour bill, and
I have heard 1t whenever there was
any discussion on hours, but. un-
fortunately, the fact is that al
though there has been a substantial
reduction in the hours of labor, you
have had q reduction In output
which is almost in mathematical
proportion to the diminution OF
hours. Effort has got to be tight
ened, qulckened.

Purposes Of ofLaynen's
 Meeting Discussed
Captain Slaymaker Outlines Purposes of Organization of Presbyterian Laymen-Putting Conventions in Leading Southern Cities to Forward
 Progressive Programme
By CAROLYN B. ELLIoTr

The challenge of the church today is for men, and the purpose of the laymen's missionary movement of the Presbyterian church. in session here today, is to give every man in the church a mans size job" Capt. F. L. Slaymaker said this a man who, as his title indicates, has been in the habit of giving men mems s size jobs during the recent war. Now that the terror of this over, the captain has returned to his headquarters in Ath- ems, Ga, as valunteer in a greater warfare-the battle that the church is wagfng in defense of the freedom of hu- mankind.
 As secretary of the laymen's missionary movement of the Southern Presbyterian church, Captain Slaymaker is enlisting men in a big world task. And the best of 1t is, men, sure-enough men, free white and 21 are volunteering their services and are finding jobs that are big enough to command their, strength.
 'The direct purpose of this meeting to- day" said Captain Slaymaker, lis to put before representatives of all the churches in Alabama the Presbyterian progressive programme. This programme is a cam

churches and by presbyterials into laymen's associations for active Chris tian service"
 number of these are already or- ganizeG under Captain Slaymaker's s supervision and his talk this afternoon at the. convention will deal with prac- tical methods in organizing and carry ing on laymen's associations.
 Tn addition to the financial goal, Captain Slaymaker resumed, the church during this current year is seeking 40,o00 new pupils in Sunday school and 50.0o0 new converts into the church. Our campaign is also in the interest of establishing family altars and for the deepening of spiritual life in the church.
 But. really" he emphasized, "I think the vital issue today is to line up the men of the church. Most of them" (this was admitted indulgently) have been loafing on their jobs. This has been mainly through lack of lead ership. because they need somebody to keep them on the job.'
 Which all goes to warn that, with Captain Slaymaker and his lieutenants Ion the job" to keep all the other men Ion the job' there won't be any slack CTS in the Southern Presbyterian church, and pessimists who croak about the church becoming effem- inized will be bereft of subject for discussion

, paign begun last year with a financial goal of S72,oOO,ooO for three years for be- pevolent purposes outside local work of the church.
 "As compared with the Methodist and Baptist campaigns" the secretary com mented frankly without wish to dispar- age others, this means that the per capita gift of the 37500O members in the Southern Presbyterian churNh is larger than the askings of these two denomina- tions. Larger, really, than any per cap- ita subscription undertaken by any church in the south
 The laymen's missionary move ment,n he continued, lis busy now put ting on these conventions for the sys tematic beneficence and stewardship committee of the church. Four of these are being held in other states, one of which has just closed in Knoxville, Tenn. with others to follow in Geor- gia, Florida and Arkansas.
 ''One of the results of presenting these progressive programmes in all parts of the country will be spreading of information and. therefore, inter est, among laymen throughout the south. It will also help in the next step of organizing men by local

ship, he said, had narrowed down to gef- ting money, and that that narrow con- ception had rendered absoluteiy<fruitless the efforts of the church to evangeiize the world
 Stewardship is spiritual devotion to the Masters interests. He said there are two fundamental principles of stewardship. stewardship of life and recognition or the fact that we are stewards.
 He declared that the churches are not begging when they ask for money, but that they are merely asking that the peo- ple finance Gods institution with God own money.
 s. W. McGii1 of Chattanooga discussed the Presbyterian Progressive Pro gramme" which includes the further ance of all the activities of the church. home and foreign missions. Christian ed ucation and ministerial relief. pubhca- tions and Sabbath school extension, Jay mems missionary movement, woman auxiliary and all the other organizations and societies within the church.

For the Good of
 the Community

N7INTER building operations, limited w only by the ability of contractors to obtain labor and materials, are predicted byJ. E. Rhodes, secretary manager of the Southern Pine Association, who has re- gently been in the east Investigating con- ditions.
 This activity seems to be general throughout the country, and notwith- standing the thousands of houses erected during the last six months, the shortage is greater than ever, according to MT. Rhodes.
 Grade in every line is at top water mark" he says "All classes of manufac- tured articles are in such demand that it is difficult to supply requirements
 From the standpoint of the lumber in- dustry was particularly impressed by the extreme housing shortage which does not seem to have been relieved in the least by the extensive building activities of the last six months In some cities people have actually been reduced to the neces- sity of buying old street cars for homes, while many shacks along the seacoast, or dinarily used for summer houses, are be- ing fixed up for occupancy all winter.
 ''In number of places the situation has become so serious that extreme efforts are being made to find homes Tn which to house a considerable proportion of the population. In some instances the muAici- palities themselves are preparing to- en- gage in the building of homes and apart ments.
 s'This is a direct result of the curtail- ment of building operations during the war, and we now have the natural in- crease in population in three years to pro- vide for"
 To remedy the situation, Mr. Rhodes states that plans are being made for ex- tensive building operations in practically every large city in the country, to begin as soon as possible, and that the amount of building this winter will depend entirely on the ability of contractors to secure workmen and materials.
 Retail lumbermen everywhere are making arrangements to take care of the enormous demand for lumber and other building materials, MT. Rhodes adds, and their anxiety to secure stocks is already reflected in the call on saw mills
 He states that orders received by the mills last week jumped 26 per cent above the week previous.
 Of orders received by the mills in the association, MT. Rhodes says:
 "One hundred and fifty-seven mills re- port to the association that for the week ending November 21 they received orders totaling 107, ,396,3z4 feet of lumber, or 4,844 carloads. Orders were 11.52 per cent in excess of normal production, and 31.32 per cent above actual production Balance of thrilled orders on hand at these 157 mills November 21 aggregated 21,750 carloads, or nearly half billion board feet"
