UNIONISM ENDANGERED.

An industrial development in Great
Britain has significance which may
prove to be permanent significance.
1t consists in the secession Of organ
ized labor from it's leaders.
The leaders have risen from union
ism into political activity and public
life, becoming war workers and social
servants. The led have fallen to the
reear, are misled by agitators who
four years ago were unknown and
break away from the unions.
This break has plunged Belfast,
Glasgow and London into industrial
ferment. While IS of the old leaders
of British labor are members of par
lament and their party is the second
in size and ability, the masses of the
unionists have, for the time at least,
In effect ceased to be members of the
unions.
The demands of the strikers would
be pathetic if they were not ridicu-
lous. Some demand to be paid for
eating-time as well as working time.
Others want pay for time spent in go
ing to-and-fro between home and
shop. Others insist on full pay for
unemployed workers, on an increase
of 80 per cent in pay and on work
day of only six hours. 1t would all
be opera-bouffe, if it were not trag-
edy.
The struggle is that of labor
against labor and it imperils union
ism. The structure of the federation
of unions is neutrality-suspicious.

THE GREAT EXPERIMENT.

The most radical of the measures
favored by the nonpartisan league in
North Dakota, and designed to re-
model the state according to the lik-
ing of the league, have been enacted
into laws and the affairs of the state
will, for some time at least, be di-
rected exactly in accordance with
league ideas. The result will be
watched with the keenest of interest
by the outside world and with some
of people who have money invested
within the state. No obstacles are
likely to be encountered, as the courts
are supposed to be controlled by the
league, so the great experiment will
probably be carried out according to
Townley schedule. In the meantime
idaho should be thankful that the try
out is taking place in North Dakota.
One of the bills provides for the
state bank. There was considerable
doubt as to the wisdom of the step,
but a farmer caucus decided to put
the state into the banaking business
and the legislature obeyed the caucus
the state into the banking business
AS it invariably does now. The
state is thus to embark on general
banking operations. Another bill Gre
ates an industrial commission of
three persons to operate the bank and
employ the active managers of it.
The terms on which loans may be
made on several classes of collateral |
or security are prescribed by the act
itself.
A third of the set of bills empow-
ers the commission to establish state |
mills and markets Finally,
there is an act authorizing the COM
to go into the farm and loan
business. A $1O,000,000 bond issue is
provided for to make the last named
enterprise possible. For the state
elevators S5,OOO,0OO bond issue is
and for the bank a ST.
100000 issue.
The leaders of the movement assert
that there is nothing radical or
s0cialistic about their schemes.

cient. Simplicity of organization was desir-
ed, however, and but few of the divisions Of
the army were paralleled in the garden army
plan.
company consists of $50 garden soldiers
as maximum number. This number should
be, and usually is, much smaller. Each COM
pany is entitled to a captain a first and Sec
Ond lieutenant. garden teacher is requir-
ed for the company. The officers have been
used to great advantage by many teachers in
helping them on their reports, inspecting gar
dens, encouraging members of their company
to do their full duty a. true soldiers, and in
arranging for exhibits, pageants, plays, etc.
The insignia of the garden army consist of
double bronze bar for the captain, a single
bronze bar with two stars in the border for
the first lieutenant, and one star for the sec
ond lieutenant, and combination bronze and
black enameled bar for privates.
AS this is fundamentally a sch DOL problem,
it should be provided for by superintendent
and boards of education and financed by them
from school funds. Not only is this as legiti-
mate and as necessary for well-organiZed
and administered school system as the teach
ing of any other branch, but to care for it at
this time has become patriotic duty. To
lead boards of education to see 1t thus was
the most important problem to be met. The
success attained has been very gratifying and
the promises for the year are encouraging.
Nearly two million boys and girls respond
ed to the call of President Wilson last year
and enlisted in the United States School Gar
den Army.
Nearly one hundred thousand acres of I'M
productive yards and vacant lots were con-
verified into productive land. This not only
released equal acreage, used in truck gar
dening, for production of other foodstuffs,
but it also relieved transportation congeS-
ton at that time through home consumption
of home-produced foodstuffs.
Thousands of teachers received valuaDIo
information in gardening through the leaflets
written by experts and distributed by the bu
reau of education.
Boards of education and other civic organ
izations, as we'll as the parents, have become
in the garden movement and are
working with the children in home gardens.

over, that for months to come there will be
need of American forces of occupation in Ger
many, perhaps minimum of ten divisions, or
about two hundred and seventy thousand men.
These and other eXigencies may call for more
patience than some waiting hearts now feel
they can muster.
All in all, however, the return of the boys
will he so much earlier and more expeditions
than at first was hoped that we may we'll be
gratified at the prospect. Before the leaves
fall again the last of our eXpeditionary forces
should be home, save such a remnant as may
be required for joint duty with the Allies in
safeguarding a while longer the terms Of
peace; and for that purpose cOntingents Of
the Regular army doubtless would be used
1t is worth noting, by the way, that it is the
announced purpose of the War Department to
keep the Regulars up to a minimum of five
hundred thousand men-a policy in which the
countrys judgment heartily concurs At pres
ent, however, the reigning thought in thou
sands of homes is that all the Selectmen in

Continuing Thrift.

AS the result of War-aWakened willing
ness to save and lend to their country, twenty
million Americans are now investors in Gov
eminent securities-a fact of high and happy
significance both to the nation and to the in
which thus is being accumulated against
future needs is itself of far-reaching impor-
lance, and still more important is the habit
of thrift being bred into the national fibre.
The latter, indeed, has so vital a bearing
on American prosperity and American char
acter that everything possible should be done
to foster it through the years ahead. This
is definite purpose of the Treasury Depart
ment AS Secretary Glass expressed it in a
recent statement: 'The ultimate aim is to
make investments in Government securities
an everyday matter with us as it has become
with the people Of France and England.
Most French men and French women look
forward very early in youth to the day when
they will be the proud pcssessors of ''rentes, -
as their bonds are called. Rich and poor buy
them for income, Tor old age protection to
provide education and doweries for children,
and to add to family and business security
and happiness"
The American people are now in mood to
emulate this admirable thrift, and the Gov
eminent means to do it's part in encouraging
them. There will be at least one more issue
Of Liberty Bonds, and there will be a con-
tinuance of the War Savings Stamps. Per-
sons of the most modest means thus will be
given opportunity to become owners OF in
cOmparably sound securities, and the savings
habit so happily engendered by war appeals
will be permanently cultivated.

Bringing~the Boys Home.

Glad tidings for many an American heart
and home are brought by General March's
statement regarding the latest prospect of re-
turning and demobilizing our overseas army
Thanks to additional ships placed at our serv-
ice by the Allies, it will be possible to trans
port three hundred thousand soldiers monthly,
at which rate the entire force of a million
eight hundred thousand still on the other side
of the water could be brought home by Au-
gust.
1t is hardly to be expected, however, that
results will keep abreast of possibilities.
Were the task simply one of transportation
things would go smoothly and swiftly enough.
But in every soldiers case there are divers
important matters to be attended to before
he embarks and after he arrives-matters
that might be of grievous consequence if
neglected. Health requirements alone are a
rein to pell-mell haste. Better little waiting
now than a long score of regrets and mis-
fortunes later. 1t must be remembered, more

WOODCRAFT
By DR.. Frank Crane

wonder if my dream is coming true.
For one of my oldest and fOndest dreams
is University of Outdoors.
In it the children of the cities should wan
der the ways of woodland, river, and sea-
shore. They should be guided and taught by
souls that love them. They should learn
through play. Their teachers would not give
them books, but inspiration They should
study the secrets of the rocks and plants at
their feet and make acquaintance with the
stars above their heads; they should be as
healthy as young panthers, and learn to love
the rain, and partake of that joy of Overcom-
ing which is the note of youth and health.
The school should keep in summer time,
when now there is vacation, and all the wild
out of doors should be filed with the laugh
ter of young life.
Some day we will get over the notion that
the way to educate children is to coop th2m
up in stuffy rooms, plunge their noses into
books and burden them with the knowledge
of things for which when they grow up they
will have no mortal use.
And here comes to my desk the Manual OF
the Woodcraft League, of which that sturdy
apostle of outdoors, Ernest Thompson Seton,
is the Big Chief.
get every new edition of this manual, for
it renews my youth 1t answers such ques-
lions as these-can you answer them?
Why does the rabbit put his hind feet down
ahead of his front feet?
DO you know the bitter bread buried under
n-thepulpit, and how to make it sweet?
Can you tell what the Woodchuck does one
day in winter?
Can you see bird when you hear it's note?
Do you know how to choose a camp site,
how to cook over the open fire, and how to
make fire without matches?
The Woodcraft League leads the children
back to the loving presence of nature, the all
mother. 1t teaches them weather signals,
sign language, how to buy supplies for camp
ing and how to live in the open, what wild
plants are edible, how to tie knots, how to
read picture writing, TO blaze signs on trees
and give smoke signals, all about snakes goCd
and bad, and about the common wild flowers,
and the different forest trees, and how to tell
a mushroom from toadstool, And if your
mouth does not water at the list you are not
human
Think of this, you boys and girls impris-
oned in cities! And think of this, you older
victims, who have passed forty and do not
know slippery elm from hickory, and cannot
tell robin from a woodpecker; nay, even
have no friends among the stars and look
upon the flowers Of the woods and meadows,
which have grace and tender beauty that no
dollhouse products rival, as weeds and
vulgar negligibes!
And if so be you repent of your sins and
omissions communicate with Seton, otherwise
known as Black Wolf or get the Woodoraft
Manual and Whit of outdoors.
