ployment can be successfully employ
ed, we must know the causes.
The present lack of employment is
largely due to the fact that practically
all lines of employers are working far
below their capacity, and this in turn
is due to the lack of demand for their
output. Add to this the demands of
labor for continued wal scale of wages,
which cannot under existing conditions
be granted, and we account for another
list of unemployed.
The laws of supply and demand have
been temporarily suspended. The sup
ply exceeds the demand. Restoration
to normal conditions is necessary be-
fore satisfactory labor conditions can
be realized.

Billy Sunday says the devil is re-

We believe the devil is blamed for a

anything about. No self-respecting

ALI uSAS -
BY CHARLES H. INGERSOLL,
Secretary-Treasurer Robert H. 1nger-
soil & Bro, Manufacturers of Wat
ches. New York City.
War is the prime cause of present
unemployment. The cause of war is
an inverted economic system wherein
trade between nations is inhibited and
restricted, notably by tariff walls. An
other cause is that the "junkers,"
chiefly agrarian, in all countries, are
largely in possession Of the peoples
interests and governments.
The immediate cause of the present
condition is reaction from initiation due
to war and war taxation; in other
words, our government is the cause.
1t will continue to be until it discovers
that the war is over and cuts out war
expenses and taxes and leads the de-
flation process instead of pulling it
backward.
Unemployment comes from under
consumption, which comes from in
ability to buy at existing high prices.
Commerce is struggling to deflate and
congress is preventing deflation by
getting ready for more war.
All taxation being super-imposed on
capital and labor ties the burden to the
jackass' legs instead of on his back.
Tariff, income, excess profits, cor
poration, sales, and general property
taxes, are all a wet blanket on bust
ness and all add directly to prices,
making them p%rohibitive and shutting
down factories.
There is a bill in congress to take
a billion of dollars of these off the con
sumers' backs and place it on the pri-
viliege of owning land.
Congress must do something con-
~structive before unemployment is ser
iously interefered with.

TELLS OF FARM PROSPERITY

munerative by furnishing a steady
market for all small fruits in excess
of the fresh fruit market demands.
But the gloomy anticipations were
not realized. The market demand
for fresh fruit proved altogether
greater than expectations. A brisk
demand for our small fruits devel-
Ioped in the Middle West, where the
crop was short, and practically all of
the small fruits that would stand
shipment were ultimately marketed
at a remunerative figure. The grow
ers got out nicely as whole, out
of all proportion better than they
expected, and have few complaints
to make. Potatoes promise to pay
handsomely this year. The opening
prices indicate this. There is short
crop elsewhere in the country, the
federal department of agriculture
estimating that it will be over one
hundred million bushels less than
that of last year. While high freight
rates will prevent any heavy ship
ments of potatoes elsewhere than to
our usual markets, the certain high
price in the country generally will
be reflected here and insure a good
profit to potato growers.
Altogether, it is certain that, on
the AYERS ge. the farmers of the State
of Washington will fare better this
year than those in any other section
of the United States, and their re-
turns will contrast not unfavOrably
with those of normal times, before
the great war.

wHATCOM COUNTY MERCHANTS
FORM ORGANIZATION HERE

! The business men of Whatcom
County and the general public will
receive with a great degree of inter-
est the information that at a general
meeting of representatives of approx
imately 100 business houses of What
com County in the districts outlying
the city of Bellingham last Tuesday
evening met at Lynden and formed a
permanent organization known as the
Whatcom County Business Mems As
ISOLATION.
The meeting was presided over by
w. H. NAPLES of the Lynden Depart
ment Store and was the outcome OF
the united efforts of several of the
most prominent business men of the
communities of Lynden, Eeverson,
Ferndale, Sumas, Custer. Blaine and
other cities within the county.
The chief objects of the associa-
ton expressed by the Constitution
of the association were: The prOtec-
ton of credits and the curtailment of
losses through credit extensions CIV
en- for an indefinite period; The pro-
motion of home products and home
industry; The PRONUNCIATION of con-
structive legislation.
The organization as perfected will
no doubt have the most complete and
effective method of credit protection
of any organization of it's kind. The
plans. and methods relating to credit
curtailment and protection were in
augurated by A. E. Heaton of the
Pacific Mercantile Agency of Belling-
ham who was elected secretary-treas-

BARIUM POISONOUS TO RATS
Tests Indicate That a 20 Per Cent
Mixture With Food Makes Most
Satisfactory Bait

A study Of barium carbonate as a
rat poison, made by the United States
Department of Agriculture, indicates
that a 20 per cent mixture with food
makes satisfactory bait. With this
percentage rat ordinarily needs to
eat only one-third or three-eighths Of
a meal OF average size to get fatal
dose. 1t was found that with this desc
many of the rats poisoned died with
I'm "a hours, though an occasional rat
was found which survived an even
larger amount. thus indicating that
100 per cent mortality is not to be ex-
pected I'm any case.
A summary of results OF expert
ments conducted by various persons
with q view to determining the dead
Illness of barium to different animals
shows the fallacy Of the assumption
that barium is poisonous only to rats.
II Is pointed out that the fatal dose
of barium per pound tends TO decrease
relatively as the size of the animal
increases. and that n bait calculated
TO be fatal to rats may be assumed to
he more or less dangerous to small
domestic animals also.
