LABOR SHORTAGE COMING
IN AMERICA.

A report based on the statistics in
the office Of the, department of labor
at Washington indicates that there
is already q shortage of labor supply
in the United States and that it will
become more acute. It says there Is
a surplus of workers in the line of
clerks and sales people and that In
order that they should all have en-
ployment, some of them will have
to take employment. in. other lines
than selling but with that difference
adjusted and an adjustment Of sur

100000 more coal miners than
there is need for in the United
States If that 100000 is sifted to
other vocations things will be pretty
we'll balanced and everybody could
make q living. In such places as
Chicago, Philadelphia and Pittsburg
there is already great scarcity of
both skilled and unskilled labor.
In the Snake river valley it will
be necessary for everybody to work
to take care of the harvest and
especially the potato harvest. Child

SOME CONIMENDABLE
SCHOOL MANAGEMENT

A number of universities, inc1ud-
ing the University Of Idaho, are dis
couraging the use of automobiles by
the students in attendance. A girls
colleg at Spokane have adopted a
resolution against girls wearing
iewelry, expensive clothing or any,
thing that makes display of
wealth at school.
The object of these things is not
to prevent the wealthy from enpoy-
ing their wealth, but to prevent
them from displaying it in any way
that will make it embarrassing for
those who cannot afford it. In the
case of the automobiles, the wealthy
students can probably get enough
enjoyment out of their cars during
the summer months SO that they
will not actually starve for auto
mobile rides during the school year,
and are asked to obtain their
recreation by walking or in their
athletics the same as those do who
cannot afford the car.
One of the great advantages of
our public school system Is that it
puts everybody on the same level
Democracy. 1t teaches the spirit of
sacrifice and comradeship and equal
ity; enjoy what others enjoy, suf-
fer what others suffer, so they shall
all know human sympathy. 1t is
the great rating up and not rating
down process. The child who, Is
taught by a governess and never
goes to the public school or does not
go for any part of the school life
misses that much of our great demo-
cratic school system.
During the recent boom years
when everybody did foolish things,
people became unduly impressed
with the importance of dress and it
seemed sometimes as tho pupils in
school thought more of display Of
clothes than of mastering their
school work During these times
when high taxes and low income,
while it is difficult for the wealthy
to meet the taxes and other ex-
penses, where 1t is great hardship
for the poor to meet them, 1t is no
time for pupils to be showing of
their jewelry and fine clothes in
schools, where so many can scarcely
afford the necessities. 1t is good
time for them to give some time to
the rating down as we'll as the rat
ing up process and to govern them
selves accordingly.

RUSSIAN PEOPLE WILL
GIVE THANKS

So many of the people of Russia
have harvested crop of real food Of
their own this year and they are
feeling SO thankful over 1t, it is
likely that a day of national thanks
giving will be adopted as in America
and that it will become a national
institution.
1t is reported that the communists
have been spreading q propaganda
expressed in the slogan, Comrades,
good harvest is defeating the cap
italist famine" but the peasants do
not take very well to that kind of
poison and their Interpretation Of it
is that the. capitalists who put up
the money to pay for the millions
Of bushels Of grain that was ship
ped to them since the war have en-
abled them to plant and harvest
crops and they see the advantage of
having capitalists in the world.
There are some districts in Russia
that did not get seed and have not
harvested crops and it is expected
that some foreign aid will be neces-
sary this year to keep them from
starving.

1t is not a settlement Of the
water question to let the people Of
the lower valley 60 on managing 1t
and holding possession of the
records and the authority to control
it's flow. 1t is not settlement OF
the water questions to out vote them
and take these thinsg into the hands
of men in sympathy with the upper
valley and reverse the conditions of
division. Both of these methods Is
wrong in some measure and with
the balance Of power, ni0e to twelve,
in the lower valley, and our COM
plants continuing from year to year,
it is important that the canals of
the upper valley unite and conduct
their own Investigations and be able
to prove their contentious and get
justice at the hands of that depart
ment of the state government that
has authority to direct according to
the facts as presented. That very
thing is being done now-but the
facts as presented are 80 one-sided
that it makes the case in favor Of
the lower valley.
The Union of Water Users OF the
upper valley has been in operation
now for almost year and has ac-
complished great deal in setting
forth facts that secured a relinquish-
ment of waters that have for years
been going on down the river. There
is an element of fairness in the con-
duct of this matter when facts are
laid before them, but 1t takes men,
money and time to make the neces-
sary measurements of all the
streams and prove the facts, and the
men of the upper avlley cannot go
to the books of the opposition OF find
facts in their own favor. These
things have to be obtained inde-
pendently Notwithstanding we have
helped to pay the cost Of the original
records. Our taxes help to pay the
cost of operating the gates and Of
ficers and pay the salaries of the
corps of men who control the water,
and if it is not done right, we have
to put new force on the job to take
enough measurements to show what
is wrong with the work. There are
now thirty-one canals holding men,
bership in the union and receiving
the benefit of the records that are
being made. Those that stay out of
the union receive considerable bene-
fit in the temporary division of the
water, but the records are not being
made for any but the members of
the union of water users and when
decision is asked, based upon the
records, the awards will go to the
MEMBERSHIPS that have done the
work and paid the bills.

LOANS FOR Ex-sERvIcE MEN
Commander MacNider 10 Originator
Of Plan to Aid Men In Need
Of Assistance.

Buddies who are ''broken In health
and battling their way through red tape
for their just. disability compensation"
will be the benefciaries of big ro-
tating fund, details of which are be-
ing worked out at national headquar-
tiers of the American Legion.
The fund is designed to provide
loans, without. security and at low
rate of interest, to ex-service men in
every state who are in need of assist
ance. Commander MacNider, who
originated the plan, says that such
provision Is of vital necessity in order
that worthy mem may keep their self
respect during period of financial
stress. Ex-soldiers who do not need
the ready cash provided by the gov
ernment's payment Of adjusted COM
pensation have signified their willing
ness to turn over their bonus to the
fund.
Hundreds of instances of sick and
wounded ex-service men falling back
on charity while their claims were be-
ing reviewed are shown by Legion
reports. Tubercular victims whose
condition has been brought on by poi
son gas or exposure have gone to sani-
tariums in the West and have been
denied immediate treatment and be-
come public charges, 1t is declared.
Some help for these men during the
period Of REIMBURSEMENT is Of prime i'm
portance, according to MacNider.
