Many people in this section of YER

nouncement that John Barrett, lately
director general of the Pan American
union, is to be president of the admin

college of commerce TO be opened at
Panama. This institution is to give
two courses of six months each in all
branches of business and economic re-
lation between the sister republics of
America. The government of Panama
has given the institution housing in the
fine arts building on the exposition
grounds.
The New York Times says that Mr..
Barrett "has been American minister
to three Latin American states and
has done more than any other Ameri.
can to foster commerce and good feel.

new position will give him the oppor.

GIVE LABOR THE OPPORTUNITY

GIVE LABOR THE OPPORTUNITY
Not long ago American manufactur.
ers and Others were asserting that the
reason for high prices was the failure
of labor to buckle down to industry
and that increased production was the
only way to bring down the high cost
of living. That idea was economically
sound and it found responsive chord
in the minds of the American people; it
was generally agreed that the supply
must at least equal the demand, or
perhaps go it little better, before the
prices would fall. Labor saw the
logic of the contention and began to
buckle down to work with an idea of
increasing the production in many
lines. Now comes clog in the ma
chinery of the process through the
action of many mill owners in shut
ting down their plants. How can la
Dor increase the product of the country
if the opportunity for work is denied
themf How can the supply catch up
with the demand if the doors of the
mills are closed? How can the cost of
living be reduced if the wheels of in
dustry stop? These are questions
which might very pertinently be sug-
gested to the owners of mills in New
England which have been shut down
for some time, throwing ten of thou
sands of operatives out of employment
and cutting down the supply Of the
articles made in those mills by vast
quantity. The action of these mill
owners does not dovetail with the COM
plant so recently made by some of the
employers of the United States that
the backwardness of labor was in large
measure responsible for the high cost
Of living. Labor stands ready to pro-
iuce. Labor only needs the opportu
nifty.

From off your pile of hemloek board,
You pick the worst the top affords,
Then right across from rail to rail

You guess they'll shed the wettest rain
And if they do, you can't complain;
You aint's obliged to board the ends,
But can, in case twould please your
friends.
And when that lean-to's don, BY Coli

More sap-works, kegs and wagon

Old cultivstor teeth and toes.
Old handsleds. hoops and phosphate

And this and that a-laying loose;
An old horserake gets damned in last
And plugs the entrance firm and fast

A hen goes in, resolved to rest,
And likes so well she steals her nest;
A flock of wasps that failed in Rome,

You're glad you had the sense to build;
