Shall Chaos in Reconstruction Follow the Great 051 Europe World War7 A t GREAT j NEED IS PRODUCTION Men - Must Be Given Inducement to Work and Guaranteed Fair Dealing In the Diatribution qf the Result Article VI. i By FRANK COMERFORD. The world Uvea by two kinds .of work, the work on the soil and the labor spent In making things. 'In this way we get the Uilngs we eat and wear. We have eaten up our surplus. The world reserve Is gpne. We are literally Bring from hand toxnouth. Te food shortage we must overcome put every Inch of available ground Into production. .Only by doing this can we live and gradually get back the surplus which stood ss a protection against crop failures. Production Is not automaUc, it is the work of man. There Is not anything complex about it You cant use magic. To grow things men must plow and gather. The will to work - i ouf greatest need. -- The land' is available. God furnishes the sunshine and the rain. To get the plows, tractors and farm tools we most look to the Industrial arm of life. Here again la the call for men. : We ar short of man power. Men 'were killed and crippled in the war The men who wived the' war mast help do the work that would have been done by tboee woo did not come hack, la their peooent frame of aslad they da I I 1 i. not will to . )- - n tJ r:i ' ' i ; 4 I old workat least nnder the conditions obtkiat&g before 'the - war. It to MCeaetar te furnish them with aa Inducement .to wort.: Tbw was little Inducement lor man to work kefore the war." The discontented are of kicking atwerk. Their objection (00a to the aafalraeoa shown la distributing the result It. isnt any secret They are shouting it from the housetops' of Europe,' they demand a larger share of toe things they produce, or they refuse to work. There to a good deal of human nature in It too. It to only human nature to think of self. ' There Isnt anything unnatural la the worklngmaa looking for reward. They have less than,, a third of the rolling stock necessary to meet normal requirements The demand for transportation facilities will necessarily Increase during the period of reconstruction. I have seen locomotives sneezing, coughing, expiring every few miles. Old, broken-dow- n engines, the kind one expects to find In a museum. ! was on a de luxe train, a diplomatic express. 1 commented upon the condition of the locomotive, which came to a full stop every once In a while. I commented upon the condition of the coaches. The chief of the train looked at me, smiled and said : If yoo think' this one is bad you odght to see some of the others." The war disarranged plants and factories. The demand was for munitions. - Peace gave way to war ahd plant equipment efficient for peace production gave way to plant construction necessary to manufacture the weapons of war. Plants were commandeered. Machinery was torn out. new machinery put In. A complete reconstruction and reorganization was effected. Now that the war Is over and the demand for everything is great, it to necessary to change these plants back and fit them for the production needed. It Is expensive it takes time, it retards production. It Is strange that, while everyone can see and understand the difficulties and delays incident' to reorganizing and rearranging machinery and plants, many people cannot see or understand the problem of rearranging mens lives, who for four years have' been The effect of the Uvlng; abnormally. war upon plants and equipment Is conceded by the very man who refused to see any effect of the war on the moa who were in it Women In Labor World. During the war women answered tbe roll call. They left their homes and went to work. There to hardly a kind of work that 1 cut think of that I have not aeon women doing in Europe. I hare seen them loading boats, shoveling cool, washing windows, driving wagons, cleaning streets, conductors on trams. Many of the women who went Into the Industrie were yewng wniisa.

Some mnil order concerns are now operating a credit system, but It is not a credit system such as is maintained by most retail merchants. These mnil order houses wm sell certain merchandise on the Installment plan,-bthey not only demand nn Initial cash payment, but require the purchaser to sign a contract which operates as a mortgage not only on the merchandi.se purchased, but upon any other property that the customer may possess. There is nothing In this system that bears any similarity to the open credit system that Is used by the majority of retail merchants. There are some other requests you might make of the mall order man vhen the' occasion arises and the responses might be equally interesting. For Instance, yon, Mrs. Farmer, who bought that box of groceries from the catalogue house last month, might write the manager and ask him to buy your butter an eggs. Of course, it would be considerable more trouble to pack them' for shipment to the city than It Is to take them in to yonr local grocer, who Is always ready to pnyyqujhe market price for them, but then maybe the mail order man would pay you enough more than the market price to pay you for the extra trouble. And then again, maybe he Wouldnt. And, then, there la that mowing machine that you. Mr, Fnrmer, have been figuring on trading In for a new machine. Suppose you write to the mall order man from whoa you bought that wire fencing and asU him what he will allow you for your old machine on a trade for a new one. Of course, the local hardware dealer In the town where you find a market for your farm products will allow you a fair price for your old machine, but what's the use of asking him to do It The H order man surely wm bo glad to do that much for youwtn bo notf Yea he will noO . - r Provo Utah at Eome U your baby buggy needs have it done now at the retiring MEREDITH CYCLE COMPANY See Us for Bicycles We have the largest stock of Bi cycles and si'pHs.
