OBITUARY

Lila, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
John McBain was born September II,
1905. The family then resided in
Missaukee County, near Lake City.
Four years ago they came to Alma.
Miss Lila had completed the first
half of the tenth grade in Alma
Public Schools prior to her sickness
which started in the later days of
March. At first she was not con-
sidered seriously i'll but on April 20
there was a decided change for the
worse ard she was hurried to Sagi-
nav for surgical attendance. All
possible was done for her but she
never rallied. She was a quick,
bright, lovable girl and student. She
became a Christian at the age Of
fourteen and retained her interest in
the Church and Bible school until
her death. During her sickness she
was patient, appreciative and hope
full. She peacefully entered into
Life Eternal at five o'clock Sunday
morning. Besides her parents she
leaves her paternal grandparents and
two brothers besides a large number
Of aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
Funeral services were held at
East Superior Christian church
Tuesday morning and the interment
was made in the Mount View ceme-
terry at McBain, Michigan.

81 prophesy that the threatened rail-
way strike will end by the men shift
ing jobs. These men engaged in the
maintenance of way are largely men
who have not been able to secure
positions in trades. Under pres
ent business conditions the
cut is justified, as these men could
not secure elsewhere wage equiva-
lent to what the railroads are now
paying them. If, however, la
Dor Increases, it is very probable
that the best Of these maintenance
of-way men will get positions in the
building and other trades while the
railroads will import new lot Of
men from the country.
For the past year or two we have
seen in the papers accounts merely
Of wage cuts. Reductions have run
all the way from 1917 to 500 with
an average of about $50. | should
not be surprised to see some advance
from this time on. The Firestone
Tire and Rubber Company Of Akron,
Ohio, has already advanced wages
1917. Other concerns which are
temporarily short of labor are Of
ferirg more money. 1t is, however,
interesting to note that the labor
unions were not successful in hold
ing up wages at the time Of the de-
cline and are not forcing increase at
this time History is simply re-
peating itself. The Law Of Sup
ply and Demand determines wages as
it determines prices. If business
begins to pick up this summer, as
anticipate it will, the demand for
labor will increase. Owing to the
fact that immigration has been cut
off, this will necessarily cause en-
ployers to bid against one another
and wages will again go up, for
time at least. Considering a long
period Of years into the future, the
trend Of wages may continue down
ward but a temporary upturn would
rot be surprising.
"The Babsonchart on business con-
ditions is acting in a very peculiar
way and is suggestive of turn for
the better within the next few weeks.
The time is fast approaching when
one half Of the preceding area of
expansion will be off set. When
this time comes, it can be truly said
that we have turned the corner. This
docs not mean that we are about to
enter a period of prosperity, but it
does mean that we are on the home
stretch and have seen the worst. The
Babsonchart index today stands at
~ below normal. This is due to
the increased building boom which
is evident thruout the country.
Moreover, this building boom is only
beginning We may expect" con-
cluded Mr.. Babson, "a real scarcity
in certain classes of labor during the
balance of the year"
