Gat field didn't spring anything
new when he issued the order to
close all industrial plants for a
period of five days in order to cor
serve fuel and relieve freight con
gestion. Organized lab in this
city issued the same orders several
weeks ago but some people would
n't see it in that light and said that
it was only retarding the work bt-
ing done for the war Events
*how now that they the right
idea At th time the sympa
-het'c lay ff, which caused a few
foundries to shut down for sevtral
days, a ftw pe p'e Kwled aid
creamed that organized labt in
^Hamilton would be the cause of
this country losing the war. Wha'
do they think of Garfield's order to
close everything in twenty eight
states. Hamilton is first in all
things. G» fi Id is only imitati

This is a war of tqu pmenl. Men

It was with horror we learned
that Ice wagons would stop tnak

Mr. Gat field's orders The suffer

Willing to "do our bit". Anyone

if they call.
Y u've got to hand it to the
merchants Thry were ther° whet
it came to virg the snow ff the
stree Monday tnorninp. Of course
thtre was a few slackers, then then
was some who found rhat they had
awfully lame oacks and stomach
trouble when they peeped out and
'onnd a lemperat re of 20 decrees
bel» w z ro. All in all though,
there was a good bunch of faithfuls
out and they did a go »b
which thty are entitled u much
credit. Many of the employees of
the merchants alo took
a
baud and
did much towards the success of
the enterprise
While no toubt the drastic order
of Fuel Administrator Garfield, to
close down all industrial plants for
fire days and makirg Mo day's a
holiday fpr ten weeks, during
which time all lusiness as well as
manufacture is to stop, was. only
done after all means to relieve the
situation had been exhausted and
was found to be the onl thing to
do, yet, whom does the greater
portion of the burden fall oni
Whom is it, is t« bear most of the
burden of the war? The working
man of coarse. The rich man can
stand the five day lay-off. That
which he would add to his pile
(for which he has no use) during
this period, is jus* 5 days late get
ting there. It is easy enough tr
take things pleasantly when you
don't have to go with less food,
clothing, shoes or fuel to keep
wa-m But how about the poor
-5k
devil who livesirom hand to mouth,
frofii pay day to pay day? See
what it means to him. Take for
instance the laborer who is drawing
$2.50 per day or fifteen dollars ir
week and has a wife and' taro oi
three children to keep. Not in
eluding Sunday he loses four days
pay out of the five day lay off, ot
ten dollars and then there's the t£t
ndays that take another twenty
five dollars out of his pay envelope
That means less to eat, less cloth
ing aad resi fuel. He .never will
get those dollars, they're gone.
Many fiims have signified their in
tention to pay their employes fi-r
the »ime they are off, we wish they
would all do this but you can bet
that they ^oVt. Many manufs
•ureis and business men sent ii
telegrams, protesting against the
oider but when they fund that
this did no good they patriotically?
accepted the situation. Very littt
crmplaint of th& order was heard
from the workingman, they took
it for g:antad it was for the best,
simp y saying "we are willing t«
put up with it if it will help to get
supplier and necessaries to the boy*
at the fp nt". Their patriotism
and loyalty can not be qa-s icred
It is to be hoped however, that tiir
authorities will be able to see theit
way e'ear to modifv the order s«
toat it will not be necessary to en
rce it for ten Monday's, thereby
avoiding much suffering.
If any one should tell the presi
dent that one of the largest emp'oy
**rs of labor in the United State
not omy is hostile to the unions of
his workers, but is using his great
nuence to have their right to or
ganize forbidden by Congress, Mr
Wilson "probably would be angry.
I* one si ould then go on to say
that this employer had granted n
i« cieases in wages for 10 years
that he made no provisions lor sup
erannuated employers that be al
lowed no sick leave that he gavt
no extra ay for night work thai
summarily discharged officers ot
unions who published their griev
anc s that he would not answer
their petitions or consult with them
that he refused delegates leave oi
bserce to attend national conven*
i ns i,f taeir associations that
so-ight to prevent them from pre
senting their grievances to Congress
or it fl lencipg legislators through
aoy channel except himself, the
Prtsdtnt might justly call him an
intolerable autoc at.
Yet all ti ese charges are made,
iiifany of them with unimpeachable
evidmce, against the ex cutive of
a national industry employing
nuDdreds of thousands of men and
women scattered through every
city and village in the-country.
They are made against a membei
of Mr. Wilson's cabinet, Postmaster
General Burleson.

US face the faots. Thef war situation is critical.
Unless the Allies fight as they never yet have,
fought, defeat threatens. Hungry men cannot -fights
at their best nor hungry nations. France, England,
and Italy are going hungry unless we feed them.
Wheat Savings—They must have wheat. It is thet.
best food to fight on. It is the easiest to, ship. We
alone can spare it to them. By saving just a little—
less than a quarter of what we ate last year—we can
support those who are fighting our battles. And we
can do it without stinting ourselves. We have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Com of Plenty—Corn is that food. There's a
surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the
hour of our need. It has given us corn in such bounty
as was never known before. Tons of corn. Train
loads of corn. Five hundred million bushels over and
above our regular needs. All we have to do is to»
learn to appreciate it. Waa ev£r,patriotic duty m&de
so easy? And so clear?
America's Owr, Food—Corn!
food. The Indians, hardiest of races, lived on it.
Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered a
continent. For a great section of our country it
has blong een the staff of life. How well the South
fought on it, history tells. Niow it c&la help America
win a world war.

"Stories without even a vestige of
'foundation have been scattered broad
cast," said the Canadian statement.
"Nor have
come to life casually.
They have started simultaneously In
fiifferent parts of the country and in
each instance have been calculated to
arouse public indignation.
"They are insidious, subtle, persist
ent Bit by bit they dissipate public
trust, the great essential In the wort
of food control.
"It lies with every Individual to for
bear from criticism to refrain from
passing on the vagrant and harmful
story, and thus the more effectively
to co-operate In work which is going
to mean more than the majority of
people yet realize."
THE UNITED 8TATE8 FOOD

There is no royal road to food
conservation. We can only ao
complish this by the voluntary
