It Is fast lciiolng pUln to even th mwt uprficial otwerTer that the people of this country ar In the hands of the retailers. Itetail etttah llshmenu In all llfius have multiplied within the past two deaden out of all proportion to the demand for such concerns. Ordinarily this would mean keener competition, but not so at this time In fact, It swm to have Just the opposite result. Hav ing naturally divided the volume of business by a larger number, each roan's per cent of profit must of ne ceslty be greater or his net Income less. We are aware that some may con strue our remarks as a reflection on retail stores la general. Such Is not our Intention. We would merely call attention to tlte fa'-t that the retail business Is greatly overdone. There Is scarcely a town In the entire coun try that could not be adequately sup plied by half the number of flail fstabllsbrneiiU It now supports. The retailer, while bis buhlne.is is a com munity necessity. Is not to be consid ered In any sense a producer, and now when production is the one para mount consideration In the nation, the ranks should be thinned a much as the welfare of the public will od tnlt. The main point we wish to make Is that the retailer who Is maklnst 'a bare living In a town already oer crowded with similar establishment could show his patriotism In no bet ter manner than by closln? out his business and Joining the ranks of producers. The latter ! him and his fellows In buslneirt would wel come his desertion from their ranks. The government has already sug gested that It msy be neci-twary to classify the different Hues ;f busi ness as essential and tioii-easentlal, and to forcibly suspet j th latter. It Is not without the hounds of possi bility that even the neceweary lines may have to be greatly curtailed, and In this case no more fruitful field would offer than the g-neral fetull stores of tlie country, In all lines. There Is no question but that the thinning of their ranks' would work a great benefit to those who were left, to those who were eliminated, and to the country In general. And while thu Is not without the raiiK'i of the possible, might It not bo as well to revolutionize the business of the country still furthw and elimi nate the army of crr;merclal travel ers? While msriy of them are fine fellow and we admire their huslii'ws and manly virtue, they constitute a luxury that the country could easily dispense with to s gr.tt extent. While the queetKn of production and conservation ai being consid ered, whjr not look around and mm) If hoth might not be materially for warded by ell ulniitlrig waiited effort in many Ilium? war If it Is to be won fa question t'tat can admit of no discussion), Kut farms CAN' NOT be operated without man power. . And man power Is the one thing American farms lack. 1 Then what is the answer? Man power MUST be supplied. Basy enough to assert, but far n-ore difficult to accomplish. For years now the farms of this country have been gradually depleted of the lusty young blood that should have stayed to enrich them. The army has added the cap sheaf by taking hun dreds of thousands more. It Is plain to a blind man that the places of these young men MUST be fl'led If our farms are to be operated ct their full capacity this year. Hut there are no available sources of sup ply. Farmers now are offering unheard-of wages Just to get help to gather the corn crop of last year, n.uch of which Is In danger of rotting In the fields In some parts of the country, and help Is not to he had. There can be but one answer MKV MUST UK DRAFTED FOK THE FA It MS. We are told by Secretary of Agri culture Wilson that the country Is erpe&ed to produce an even greater crop of all staples this year than was produced last year. This demand, with the fact that the remainder of the army draft will be called In the spring, Is liable to render the situa tion acute. Wo confess our utter Inability to see how the farms of the country are to be run successfully without the aid of those bred to the farm. There are no more patriotic class of people in this country than our farmers, taken as a class. But even their patriotism can not accomplish the Impossible. It may yet become necessary that the government re store to the farms the men taken f-oiu them and fill their places In the ranks with men drawn from other walks of life. around the fctrbor.

The entire output of ore from all the deep mines combined does not exceed 160,000 tons. Most the placer mines are worked by the hydraulic system, but the three dredges now In use produce far more gold than all the other placer opera tions combined. The largest output of gold and other metals in 1917 came, as usual, from Baker county, which produces annually about 90 per cent of all the gold mined In the state.
