THE HOME-COMERS. It is reported that many of our returning soldiers and sailors instead of going back to their hoines are entering the large cities to seek employment. The large cities are preparing to take care of their own returning men, and employers will naturally replace them in their old jobs in preference to engaging non residents. Two things complicate the employment question in cities at present. One is that many employers have been forced by the war-time distinction between essential and non-essential industries to lessen their product, and must wait for the indications of returning demand to in crease it. The second consideration is that many women and alder men have taken the places of young men, and in many cases their services cannot in fairness be imme diately dispensed with. These conditions will make the city a difficult place at present for the young men from small towns. It will be better for such a young man at present to return to his own home, where he is well known, and take his old job for the time being. He can watch the development of business and make his descent upon the city when conditions appear favorable. It may be that formerly we were too proud to fight, but certainly now we are proud of our fighting. It looks as if President Wilson would have a full hand of kings and queens to show down upon the peace table. If it is decided to sink the German fleet, better select a few German submarines to do it. They have had ex perience in that line. * Garden Peas Onion Sets Full line of Garden and Field Seeds in Package or Bulk. 4Dickson's Drug Store ~t L t 'he Kind Yot d Fish Scrap Mii equal quality. otash, but we especia this year.
