England Faces Difficult
Competition, Says Premier
(Bv Associated Press)


COLCHESTER, Eng, Dec. S.-Prem-
Ter Lloyd George said in letter he
sent the other day to the Mayor of Col
chester that he was afraid Great Brit
ain was faced with a difficult econom-
ic period and that I'VE shall have to
meet growing foreign competition and
growing unemployment. That we shall
succeed in surmounting the difficulties
am sure, but only if the nation
grapples with them in the same spirit
in which it grappled with the prob
lens of the war"
J. H. Thomas. Secretary of the Ma
tional Union of Railway Men, and a
Labor member of parliament, wrote:
Nothing is so fatal as the doctrine
of doing as little as possible in order
to find work for others. I think we
shall recover from our present diff
culties if for six months we have the
spirit of 1914 again. Let us frankly
recognize that both the employers and
men are something to each other and
both have to be together I don't de-
spair of the future. We are going to
pull through"

Today's Talk

BY George Matthew Adams

Each of US is a forerunner. Fore
runners for coming age and fore
runners Of ourselves. All the time
we may be so positioned that we may
be inspirers of ourselves.
A forerunner is a preparer-one who
goes ahead to get things ready.
He is also running shadow of
what you and I were but yesterday.
And in his busy going ahead, he is an
accumulation of both our good and
had. He is our pictured expression.
1t is a good thing to keep careful
track of ourselves as forerunners. To
be the kind that we would like to
be.
If we go ahead and get things ready
for those who come after US, it doesn't
matter much where We pass. We
have done our work--we have eternal
ly linked our hearts and efforts into
that of all time.
Secretary Stanton. on being inform
ed that the great Lincoln had breathed
lis last, turned and walked from the
room with these words on his lips ::
Now he belongs to the world" And

a writer about a great public man,
that soon he would be a part of
history
We are children today. looking up
to others for guidance and leadership
, but tomorrow someone is going to

! forerunner we have been.
| And the measure Of our present

bound to depend upon how highly we

made use of our visions.
! Try to be a forerunner OF beauty

Canada and Argentine May Become
Worlds Greatest Producers Of
Butter and Cheese

Washington, March Canada and
Argentina may soon prove serious
competitors of the United States in
the dairy industry, Government offici
ais believe. The industry in both
countries is in its infancy yet. Canada
is producing 20 per cent as much
cheese and IL per cent as much but
ter as the United States, while Ar
gentina producing Is per cent as
much cheese and seven per cent as
much butter. anada's bu ter exports
were Al per cent as large as those
of the United State while her cheese
exports greatly exceeded exports
from the United Safes. Argentina S
butter exports were double those of
the United States and her cheese ex-
ports equal ed SO per cent of those of
the United States.
1t is generally believed, government.
officials say, that Argentina and Can
ada are capable of extensive develop
ment of their industries and 1t Is prob
able, therefore, that the Uni ed States
may experience in the future particu
larly energetic competition. Argen-
tina, 81 days distant from New York,
they say, may not be thought Of SER
iously at this time as direct com
petitor in the dimestic market. bu
indirectly Argentine butter may sup
plant Canadian butter in the English
market, in which case Canadian but
ter would find a logical outlet in the
United States.
Canada is in better position today
in the worlds markets wi h. her butter
and cheese than is the United States,
officials declare. Moreover, Canada s
policy with her returned soldiers and
immigrants toward land development
is bringing results which even sualy
will mean larger production.
In the United States available lands
are scarce and all lands generally ex-
pensive. 1t is reasonable to believe,
government scientists say, that in the
future production viii not increase in

greater part of the really productive
land is now utilized. Resumption OF

ASKED BY MINERS
Operators and Workers VIII Meet
Next Month to Negotiate New
Agreement

Next Montn 10 Ne9otidte new
Agreement
Philadelphia, March 2.-Demands for
60 per cent increase in wages for
contract miners, 50 day raise for
day men, and six-hour day and five
day week for men paid by the day or
month, will be presented to the anthra-
cite coal operators in New YORK on
March by the union representative s
of the bard coal diggers. These &C.
mands were formulated at convention
of anthracite miners in Wilkes Barre
last August and ratified by the nation
al convention of the United Mine
Workers OF America in Cleveland in
September
The conference OF operators and
mine workers next month will
endeavor to negotiate a new agree
ment to take the place of the contract
now in force.
The present general wage agree
ment covering the anthracite industry
was entered into in May, 1916. for
four years ending March 81 this year.
Because of war conditions, wages have
been since readjusted by supplement
tai agreements between the miners
and operators.
About 10000 mine workers will be
affected by the new contract to be me-
gotiated. The miners scale commit
tee which will meet the oeratorps will
be composed of the officers and execu-
tive board members of the three dis
tricts comprising the anthracite fields,
the three international board members
in the hard coal regions, and three
mine workers from each district. No
announcement has been made as to
the number of men who will represent
the coal mine owners. 1t Is expected
however, that after the demands are
formally presented and views are ex-
changed between the two sides, small
subcommittee will be named to carry
on the actual negotiations.

Told by grizzly prophets,
And sung by dapper bards
At corner grocery clubs"
And winter evening cards.:
Still the blizzard RACES
And north winds shrilly sing;
But it's surely coming,
Is the balmy, gentle" spring.
Then we'll pillow and harrow,
Dig and plant and SOW,
Pick the fragrant blossom
And forget the drifted snow.
Spring is surely coming;
But despite both sign and bet,
Most any damn fool knows,
1t hasn't got here yet.
