Skilled Trades Now Offer
ODpOrtunitieS For Youth

Opportunities for young people
who contemplate careers as skilled
craftsmen are excellent, according
to Walter B. Pitkin, author of New
Careers for Youth"
Industry wants to know" he
says in the Rotarian Magazine,
where tomorrow's skilled crafts
men are coming from. Finding
open apprentice training courses
to help meet the most acute short
age of skilled labor this country
has ever known.
I'm Detroit, the mechanical in
dustries need $500 highly skilled
workers each year, merely to re-
place those who drop out because
of sickness, accident, death, promo
ton, transfer, and old age. This
makes no allowance for the growth
of industries, nor for the birth of
| new ones.
| employers in other industrial
parts of the country are today faced
with similar skilled labor shortages.
Foresighted in installing new ma
chimes and methods to cut costs in
hard times, employers have been
extraordinarily shortsighted in
training and retaining workers to
utilize these. Results?
In Americas metal industries
alone" DR.. Pitkin continues, cat
least 10000 skilled workers are
urgently wanted in plants operating
today at far less than capacity. AS
business improves, production will
step up proportionately If it ap-
proaches the levels of the 'twenties,
there will be a shortage of 5000
skilled workers in the metal indus
tries.
While not quite so acute else
where, the shortage still plaques
other industries. We know two i'm
portant facts: Cd Skilled workers
are wanted in all fields where new
machines and methods have improv-
ed beyond the capacities of the old
er workers; and CD in American
factories other than those in the
| metal fields, at least $4,000 new
| skilled artisans must be found

Winter Breakfast
comes,

AS surely as winter comes,
mems thoughts turn to griddle
cakes and sausage. This is food fit
for a king, although gourmets may
scoff and French chefs deride. Corn,
wheat or buckwheat, the grain base
does not matter, but there is no
substitute for the fiat cakes of
/ homemade sausage which must be
the partner in this epicurean de-
| light. To place sinuous link OF
sausage on the plate is an insult to
] the fitness of things.
Radical differences Of opinion ex-
list on this griddle cake question.
Some people think they are lacking
in the quality of the old days when
buckwheat cakes still had the buck
in them. Cooks are accused of not
putting enough serious work into
the task of preparing them. In
stead of mixing the batter the night
before and letting the mix ferment
in warm place, the batter is has
tily stirred together from ingredl-
ents out of box, slapped on an
overheated griddle, to be shocked
into the semblance of cake. II
the main, however, we disagree with
the calamity hoWlers. Griddle cakes
as a whole are as good as they used
to be, principally for the reason
that there is not much opportunity
to spoil them.
With the cakes and sausage or
the plate another argument arises
namely, the one Of how to eat them
and what should be used to lubri
cate the food. Some people spoi
them with gravy poured on in cup
fuls, disdaining butter and syrup
This strange habit has been explain
ed on the basis of economy. 1t car
hardly be accounted for otherwise
as butter and maple syrup are high
priced food accessories, and th'
J drip from the sausage, diluted by {
little water, is sufficient as cake
, dampener.
The butter and syrup users als'
have different ideas. Some stoutl.
maintain that the cakes should b.
buttered lavishly, then stacked
again, with the syrup poured oveI

Good" Her ignorance and indis-
creetness saved her from being Sc
verely dealt with. The biggest po-
litical meeting that was ever held
in Caldwell was when Garfield spoke
there when on his campaign tour
Again our country experienced a
very unexpected shock. 1t was on
the 9Th day of September, 1901,
and we had just eaten an outdoor,
noon-day lunch under the native
tree that covers Goat Island, Mia
CARA Falls. Sitting idly on a
stump, with a camera in our hand,
we were watching the presidential
party, headed by President McKin-
ley, go by. Several carriages were
in the procession, making the tour
of the island. The president and
his party were visiting the Pan
American exposition at Buffalo, and
for several days had attracted
much attention. Instead of being
thoughtful enough to take snap
shot, at this opportune moment, we
simply gave him salute, which he
gracefully returned. (Had we, at
that time taken picture, it might
have proven valuable.) From here
the party went back to Buffalo,
where the president had an ap-
pointment to speak at 3 o'clock at
the exposition music hall. 1t was
here where the third major tragedy
not only shocked our country,
but the civilized world, when our
chief executive was shot down by a
wild, radical, erratic foreigner, with
| crazy tongue-twisting name. The
| widest excitement, which beggars
description, ensued. The city was
| thrown into an uproar, with pail
! of gloom hanging over it, and ex-
| position buildings which had been
the last word in electrical illumi-
| nation, were in darkness that night.
| 1t had never been our lot to witness
| such an excitement. The church
bells seemed to give out their most
| mournful tones. A depressed feel
ing came over us, which, in ex-
treme cases, not ONLY causes you to
lose interest in all that is going on
! around you. but even robs you OF
| the sense of hunger. 4 doctor
| would call it nostalgia. We wanted
to go home.

OUR MARTYRS
(By Silas Thorla) J

There can always be found some
one with a fanatical, diseased, or
perverted mind, who becomes i'm
bued with the idea that to right a
wrong, or cure the ills Of the
world, somebody must be shot
down. This insane idea has cost the
lives of three Of our presidents, and
close call for the fourth. Besides,
just recently, it cost the life of
Huey Long. The futility of the das-
tardly work of the assassin has
been proven in every case.
1t was picture of the three pres
idents, entitled ''Our Martyrs that
brought to our mind some incidents
in connection with these tragedies
that in every instance shocked our
nation.
Our knowledge of Lincoln was,
of course, very meager, yet we re-
| member hearing some of the vile
epithets that were hurled against
him. Today, as we link his name
with that of Washington, such a
| thing seems unbelievable, but it
must be borne in mind that there
were plenty of southern sympathiz-
ers to be found north of the Mason
and Dixon line, who were bitter
against Lincoln because of his atti-
tude toward the slavery question.
| However, none of our household
| opposed him. Some had the audac-
| ity to wear a butternut pin (made
from the half of butternut) on
the lapel of their coat, signifying
their allegiance to the southern
cause. This emblem proved very
offensive, and to snatch it off was 6
bold game, and often ended in g
fight. How it was that this partic
ular badge originated, we know not
nor how widespread it was, but we
are inclined to think it rather 10
cal, and it may have been confined
to the fiery Vallandigham campaign
for the governorship of Ohio during
those turbulent times of 1868, wher
politics ran high and rampant, ant
fights and knock-doWns were of fre
ouent occurrence. Northerners wht
opposed secretly and underhandeC
bore the obnoxious name of "Cop
perhead" AS we said, we were a
too tender an age to understand
or grasp the import of those trou
blous times which led up to the aw
ful tragedy that was enacted on tn
night of April Ia, 1865, in th
Ford theatre.
The next tragic event, along thi
line, was when Jas. A. Garfield wa
, shot down by half crazed offic
: seeker in the railroad depot a
Washington. This occurred OF
July 2, 1891. His life hung in
balance for several weeks befor
the end came. A little incident w
recall. At this time news was slo,
to filter out into the rural districts
and not as far away as the Ozark
there was plot formed on tn
Fourth OF July. When this sad in
telligence was made known, ga
fippant young lass shouted. "Good

Ruling OF Secretary OF State
Re. Presidential Primary

Re: Presidential Primary
A number of inquiries have reach
ed the secretary of state, George s.
Myers, requesting information about
the presidential preferential bal
lot to be submitted to the electors
at the forthcoming primary eIec-
ton on May 18th. AS matter Of
general information, the secretary
stated that there would be two bn2-
lots prepared for the primary. q
Democratic party ballot and Re-
publican party ballot. Each of these
would present the names of the re-
spective party candidates seeking
nomination for president, vice pres
ident, delegates at large to the ma
tional convention, alternates at
large, district delegates and alter
mates, delegates and alternates to
state convention, candidates fer
state and county offices, and elec-
ton to the office of state and coun-
ty central committeeman.
With reference to the presidential
preferential nominations, Mr.. Myers
ruled as follows:
"A candidate seeking nomi-
nation for the office of presi-
dent or vice president must file
declaration of candidacy ac-
companied by petition signed
by at least one thousand cleo
tors of his party, and electors
from at least thirty counties
must be represented among the
petitioners Candidates seek
ing nomination at the primary,
regardless of office concerned,
must file their declarations and
accompanying petitions not
later than $50 p. M, March
18th"
Mr.. Myers offered the further
general admonition that all candi-
dates and committees should see
that the declarations of candidacy
in which they were interested
should be carefully and completely
filled out and properly certified be-
fore placing same in circulation.

ethiopia" BY Prof. Ernest Work
Former Education Advisor There


The Democrat has a copy of the
book ethiopia. A Pawn In Euro
pean Diplomacy the author of
which is Ernest Work, professor of
history, at Muskingum college, New
Concord, and who was formerly ad-
visor in educational matters to the
Ethiopian government. The book is
a beautifully bound volume of 354
pages, and on the back of it are
stamped a banner with the Ethi-
opian colors, and the crest for the
empire-a rampant crowned lion,
bearing a scepter in his right paw
and motto which declares that
"The lion Of the Tribe Of Judah has
conquered" Included in the in
scriptions on the title page of the
book are the Biblical words ''Ethio-
pia shall soon stretch out her hands
unto Cod The book contains a
picture of Halle Selassie I, (Negus
Negasti) emperor of Ethiopia, in
coronation robes.
The reading Of only few pages,
so far, Of the opening chapter has
convinced this writer that the book
is one of absorbing interest, and
splendid information, and is we'll
worth time any one may spend in
reading it, or the money one might
spend in getting a copy Of the book
for himself. Many copies of the
book on Ethiopia have already been
disposed Of the second big edition
having been printed, and Prof. Err
nest Work, the author, has large
number at his disposal at New Con-
cord
| Prof. Work who was visitor at
| the Democrat office last Thursday,
| informed us during the course OF
| his conversation that he spent two
| and q half years in Ethiopia. That
+. he made a wide and comprehensive
| study Of conditions in that empire
| during his stay there, and has ar
| Invaluable first hand knowledge ol
the country and lives Of the people
There can be no doubt, and thi:
coupled with his research ant
his general knowledge of his
tory, and his ability to tell it al
splendidly makes his book one o.
outstanding merit.
