KANSAS CITY, August 31.--Curtail-
ment of freight service to the Missouri
Arkansas fruit section has resulted in
big losses to growers.
With local cold storage plants filled
to capacity and shipments impossible.
many of the farmers have been leaving
peaches on the trees or Offering them at
10 cents a bushel to any one who would
pick them and take them away.
Despite the complaint of farmers of
+. low prices fer the products, and the
teoal and rail situation, the general cons
dition Of the basic industries in this ter
ritory is exceptionally good. Leanable
resources of the banks are at high levels,
with no extraordinary demand for ae-
commodation manifested. Business fail

First Time in Two Years
BY GUY T. ROCKWELL

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CLEVELAND, August 31.-PFeseuPs
of an actual labor shortage Is being
felt in northern Ohio for the fifst time

B. c. Seiple, superintendent o. the

> ported today that 500 per cent more
men and 100 per cent more women
had been placed by the bureau this
summer than last. No shutdowns have
occurred here as result Of fuel
shortage as yet. The labor shortage
is especially apparent in plants max
ing automobiles or auto parts. This
is especially true Of the bodybuilding
industries.
Auto production is holding up well,
the demand being surprisingly heavy
in view of the heavy output earlier in
the year. The White Motor Company
has put on a night shift of 900 men
to overcome a shortage Of production

sting conditions today the people
who are DESTROYS OF owning their
own homes are somewhat reluctant
20 build or purchase homes on con-
tract for the reason that they do not
know what the future hss in store
for them.
In my opinion the country IS in
need OF men in congress who are
more interested in the welfare %
the people at home than they are IN
their own political future. The
serious problems which confront Us
today are being sadly overlooked by
those who are charged with solving
them. IN spite Of this I believe that
Mishawaka Will continue TO grow
and expand a city having the pro-
gressive manufacturing institutions
that we have here, together with the
many adva ntages and ideal sites for
homes is bound 10 attract home
seekers"
No Chance for Poor.
The fact that people OF limited
means are seriously handicapped in
securing houses Is a situation wide
" deplored. Many advocate the for
nation OF a civic building corpor-
alton. a plan which has met with
great success in other cities.
Apropos OF this. N ". Stark says:
There is no question about there
being a shortage of houses in Mish o.
awake at the present time. with all
the houses that have been built and
are under construction. There are
so many people coming into the city
from smaller towns within a radius
Of 40 or 90 miles that they take up
the surplus faster than it is created
by the building OF new houses.
THE main difficulty is that the
real estate dealers and builders are
not able to finance the building OF
homes for the laboring class who
only have from $500 to $500 TO pay
down. as the banks can only loan
500 and the building and loans will
furnish only 600 OF the real value
OF the property"
The above was taken exception TO
by one firm of realtors who have
recently financed an enormous build
ing program, and whose president.
A. c. ColIaert. made the following
statement TO The News-Times:
Undoubtedly the greatest problem
10 solve in the housing situation is
TO enable people of limited means TO
/ become their own home owners. BY
this. I mean people who have not
enough money TO buy or build homes
and pay cash for them, or who are
not able TO get loans from the banks
