itaent that Is being accorded Union
street, riding in Vienna will cease to
be the painful ordeal that it has been
for some time past. When once the
streets are put in good condition, a
little regular attention will keep them
so and prevent the necessity for the
early repitition of such difficult and
expensive overhauling. ThtfNews has
recently registered a complaint
against the-condition of the streets
and desire now to express an equally
enthusiastic approval of the work
that is in progress.
“The man with the hoe” is not an
uncommon sight on the streets these
days. Many who have heretofore
considered the home garden “more
trouble than it was worth” have been
converted to a new belief by the rap
idly increasing high cost of living.
There is no standard recipe for
"victory bread,” the only requirement
being that it must not contain more
than 80 per cent of wheat flour, the
remaining 20 per cent being compos
ed of corn meal or corn flour, rice po
tato flour, or other cereals recom
mended by the Food Administration.
“Victory” pies and doughnuts, which
contain not less than one-third non
wheat flour, may be sold on wheatless
days if the same recipes are used
throughout the week.
A business house in Bordeaux,
France, has placed an order for $48,-
250 worth of American made alarm
docks with one of the leading manu
facturing concerns of the United
States. This is concrete evidence of
the revolution in commerce that is
bound to accrue from the bloody
revolution that is now in progress.
The “made in U. S. A.” mark may in
the not far distant future attain wid
er distinction than any other of its
kind has yet done.
There is a growing impression in
the minds of the traveling public that
ther ailroads, under the new govem-
mep'. management plan, is trying to
demoralize rather than trying to aid
the government in its planA They
certainly appear to lose an unusual
amount of time. The public reasons
that the roads are doing this on pur
pose aB they wish to discourage the
growing idea of public ovmership.
Naturally, the railroad men want to
discourage this idea. But they have
got to seek a new means of discourag
ing it. The general public is far more
intelligent than it was a generation
ago, and it knows full well that the
government is not responsible for
these unusual delays.—Telfair Enter

THE WORK ON THE. STREETS
There is general gratification that
the work of improving the city’s
streets is begun. From tho start that
has been made it would seem that the
work is to be in a systematic practi
cal manner and in a way to effect
permanent improvement If all of
the streets are given the same treat-
THE LABOR PROBLEM
Many suggestions have been offered
as to the solution of the labor prob
lem, the seriousness of which increas
es as tho war progresses. The disas
trous effect of a labor shortage at
this critical period is so well recogniz
ed that drastic measures may have to
bo resorted to meet the emergency.
A labor draft bill is even now pending
in Congress. There has also been, a
great deal of pressure brought to bear
to have farm labor exempted from the
military draft, but there arc many
reasons why it would not be practi
cal to follow either of these plans.
The Custer County Council of De
fense, Idaho, has adopted a plan which
is offered as a feasible one for the na
tion to follow. If such a plan could
bo put into successful operation it
would be a simple solution to a very
complex problem that is causing
grave concern throughout the nation.
The plan is this:
1. The United States government
to organize through the National
Council of Defense, the "National
Volunteer Industrial Army,” to solve
the emergency labor problem.
2. After tho adoption of the plan
by the government, each Stato Coun
