broaden out and reach after those
things of the entire community,
lending cid and a helping hand
wherever needed and asked for.
Hence, we say the association will
not be complete with only the citi-
zens of Dresden constituting the
membership. In the immediate vi
cinity of Dresden there are many
wde-awake fatmers who can not
only help themselves but their neigh
bors and their respective communi-
ties. These are the men we need
in the association. 1t will be in
complete without them and the aims
of the organization will fall far short
if these good farmers do not affili-
ate with it.
This organization, as We see it,
will do big things for Dresden and
community. 1t is not intended to
convey the idea when making this
statement that we will build city
here, but, rather, to better existing
conditions and make this community
a more fit place to life in.
Will you help?

FORSAKING THE BURROWS

Available farm labor in the
United States, according to reports
from the national Department of
Agriculture, is IL per cent less than
one year ago. This is for the country
as a whole. In some regions the
shortage is much more pronounced;
Massachusetts, for example, has
suffered a decrease of rs per cent
on one thousand representative
farms, and in parts of the West
there has been steep decline. In
the South the situation is serious
enough, though on the whole not so
acute as elsewhere. Authorities do
not hesitate to say that unless the
problem of farm help is simplified,
it will gravely impair the nations
productive powers at their most vi
tai point.
Whittier have the thousands of
hands gone VINO were in the field
and furrow a year ago? A partial
answer appears in statistics which
show that within this period there
has been an accession of 81 per
cent to the number Of employees in
the automobile industry, 55 per
cent of those in the clothing bust
ness, II per cent to paper manufac-
tories, and from 10 to SO per cent
in the divers branches Of the textile
industry, in all these and other ur-
ban occupations the call of high
wages, short hours and town life has
drawn multitudes from rural labor.
Mere complaints at this state O.
affairs is bootless. So long as hu
man nature remains as it is, men
will leave the seemingly harder for
the seemingly easier way, although
in the long run they rue the eX-
change. Soon or late there must be
a return to the farm. The present
production of food will not suffice
for an ever increasing population,
and the glamor of high wages will
fade when it is realized that they
serve chiefly to increase the cost OF
braad and meat Excuses and dis
proportions all balance themselves IN
the course of time, and'sU"at last will
this one.
1t is none the less important, how
ever, that everything feasible be
done to make farm 'life attractive
to the rising generation and re-
wardful as well. Bette schools, bet
ter roads, more domestic comforts
and more social satisfacti9ns--

JUST WHAT WAS NEEDED

The organization in Dresden on
last Friday night of an association
with fixed purpose to further the
interests of Dresden and community
was long, strong stride forward
lust what has been needed for
number of years.
Under the new order of things,
when big problems are presenting
themselves, when individuals have
their hands full of private matters,
when the world is going round and
round in high gear all the while, an
organization of this character is alb
solutely essential to the happiness,
prosperity and we'll being Of any
community
The citizens present did another
wise thing besides perfecting organi-
zation-they elected the most en-
ergetic, the most Jealous, wide
awake, progressive citizen in Ores
den as its head-Judge R. E.
Maiden. We are sure that this state
ment upon the part of the Enter
prise will not disparage the enthu-
siasm or the efforts Of any citizen
of Dresden. Judge Maiden has ever
shown not only liberal disposition
toward these progressive matters,
but he possesses the ability to or
ganize men and set them to work
for bigger and better things. He is
a born leader. He is awake to the
needs of the community-and the or
ganization was fortunate, indeed, to
determine upon him as a leader. .
So much for the leader. Now for
the organization. Right now there
are no less than dozen matters
needing the attention of just such
an organization as the one formed
here last Friday night. A few
years ago the berry industry started
here, twenty citizens of Dresden put
out patch of rs acres. This en-
couraged others to put out berries
The same thing needs to be repeated
There is demand here for a potato
storage house. There is need OF con-
cert action on the road question,
many Of our roads getting in bad
condition for the lack of attention.
An organization of the character
formed here last Friday night can
do much in this direction. The town
needs a thorough cleansing. We
ought to have respectable depot in
Dresden. Our public school interests
here are suffering. The building
needs charging, improving, and SO
on. The livestock interests OF this
particular community need some
coaching. Our telephone servie is
simply rotten. mo reflection IS
meant upon the operators or local
management The fair association
needs some cooperation upon the
part of the business men.
These are just few of the things
an organization of our business and
commercial and farming interests
needs to look after. There are
many others. They loom daily.
Individuals cannot put them over
concert of action can. We're get
ting in way, through the organiza-
ton formed here last Friday night,
to take care of these matters affect |
ing the interests of this town and
community.
But the organization needs. the
help Of every man in this town and
surrounding community. It is not
the intent and purpose of the organi-
cation, which as yet hasn't been
to confine its efforts solely
to the town Of Dresden, but it will

Of DELAYING SEA
MINING bARRAGE
Held Up Plan That De-
cided Fate of U-Boats:
When Success, Gave
British Credit, Charge.

Washington. May 11-A counter
Sea mine barrage was delayed six
months because of the opposition of
Rear Admiral Sims and the British ad-
miralty, was made before the senate
naval investigating committee by Secre-
tary Daniels, in presentation of the sec
ond part of his reply TO the officers
charges that the navy department had
unnecessarily prolonged the war through
failure to cooperate fully at first with
allied naval forces. The barrage. Mr..
Daniels added. was the most effective
measure that had been taken TO check
the submarines and was wholly en-
American idea.
Admiral Sims attempted to rob
America and the United States navy of
the credit for initiating this great
achievement and TO give the impression
that il was a British plan
though it originated in the navy depart
ment. was proposed and urged by us for
half year before we could induce the
British admiralty to approve it. although
four -fifths of il was composed of Amer
America and transported 3,4O0 miles
over seas and laid by American vessels"
Mr.. Daniels told the committee.
He said close comradeship had exist
ed between the American and British
navies during the war. despite Admiral
Sims attempts to create the impression
that there was lack of harmony and
CO o-operat!on.
The Sims charges of unpreparedness
before the war were, not justified. Mr..
Danils asserted. declaring that in July,
1915. he ordered the general board 10
study and recommend plans for n ''con-
sistent and progressive development"
The policy was evolved, he said. that
the United States must by 1928 have a
navy equal to any other in the world
and the direct result was the five-vear
building program of 1916 President
Wilson fully approved the policy. the
witness asserted.
