Lack of Common Ijibor Faces - - Government In Stern Way. WASHINGTON, Aug. 23. The fact that ttiere is n shortage in war work of one million unskilled laborers and that the reserve of skilled, workers is exhausted, developed todaj' at a con ference of field agents of the federal employment service. Further curtailment of non-essenlinl production is planned to release men for war work. The labor shortage is so serious that completion of a number of important war projects for the army and navy it; beMig delayed, it was said nt the conference. "Tlie timo has come for the entire nation to realize that business as us- spiritual tial is no longer possible," Nathan A. Smith, assistant director of the em ployment service, tofd the conference. "If we are to end the war quickly, the production of luxurious and non essentials in this couotry must come to an end. Tt is a question of ending the war quickly or having it dragged on indefinitely." On a rocont visit to Texas I stopped at Marshall on my way to College Station to rest on Sunday, July 21, with a friend who Is the pastor of the First Baptist Church mere,, j wus -not altogether sur prised when ho Insisted that -1 should say something to his con. gregatlon at tho morning service, but I was surprised to have an urgent call from a camp meeting IS miles away, to speak there lu the afternoon, and I was very re luctant to go, because I was tiif,d, but I could not fruso a call from a group or farthfjis In my own state. I asked tho messenger who brought the Invitation whether It would bo proper for me to Bay any thing regarding tho agricultural problem, und be assured mo thai the people, regarded tho agricul tural program as a part of tho war program, and that I would bo at full libei ly to sepak about It as I might see fit. I reached tho meeting just as the congregation had arisen for prayer. J lie minister prayed with great rorvor in the usual way of evan gelical petition and the congrega tion responded with fervent aniens coming from every quarter of the tabernaclo. Thoro had been sever al conversions at tlio morning ser vice and tho air was electric wltli rapture. After the usual $13.50 TOP I'OHTLIXI) L1VM STOCK MAIL . lil-.T SHOOTS HIGH. Clyde Hoberls visited the I.'

He asked Tor victory to our arms and for our righteous cause, and ho asked that our boys might return, whole in body and mind and soul. Tlio nmejis came In a great volume of heart-swelling emotion as tho mothers and fa thers thought of their sons. Then yesterday evening, and reports minister dropped his voice and that the recmt rains In that sec. jpald with humility but with admit, tion hurt tho crops 'of grnln tajiM resolution: "But.

Only about 1 per cent of the area of Ireland contains marketable timber. they must fall, let them fall with their faces to tho front." There was a moment or silence In the congregation, and. then thoro came In a deep chorus, with a sub, "Amen." - Whn mothers and fathers In re moto districts, away from tho sound of thi fife and drum and the sight of warships, airplanes and marching parades, can say amen to the, courageous death or their sons wo need have ' no fear that the plain people of the ' United States will fail In the resolution to sus laln our causo to tho utmost.
