General unemployment has fallen , 1 si.arpty ami many economists believe' ibrti tin' census of the unemployed! now being planned by the Department of Commerce will show two things: j ?

On this! lat.< r i>< int. no less an uuthoriiy than in. liaioid G. .Muulton, head of the I Jirookings Institution, has already prodoled that we shall have an actual' shortage of labor within the next live; years if industrial production recov- ! ers to the 1929 limit. Jn other words, the emergency phusos of recovery are past. The myth I that we need such panaceas as the ' 3e hour week, federal fixing of manu- j facturing wages and hours and other arbitrary proposals emanating largely from professional labor leaders, has been exploded. Tho need of the moment is leadership?wise and constructive leadership In business as well as government, The responsibility to cooperate in tin- complete restoration of employ-mem and then to help stabilize Jobs for the fulure rests alike upon liiQustry and upon government. The ancient truth (hat "nothing can stop America" still holds. THE UBIQUITOUS VOWEL What an important, letter Is "K," says a writer who has figured It out. It is always out of "cash," forever in "debt." and never out of "danger." At the same time it is never in "war." always In "peace." and necessary in something to "eat." It is the la-ginning of "existence" and the end of life " Without it there could be .no ' happiness" and no "heaven." It Is the center of "honesty" and always in "love." It starts with "encouragement," but ends in "failure," begins in "error." hut ends in "lizzie." It plays an important role in "honeymoon" as well as in "wedding," but, alas, ends with "divorce." It doesn't appear at "birth" but is in every "death" and "funeral." It calls you to "breakfast" and serves you at "dinner" atrtl "supper," but it isn't in "lunch" although it Is partial Lu "tea." Nor does it approve of "liquor" or the "cocktail hour," oven though it favors "ale" and "beer." The motor in your car t uns without it for it isn't "ignition." nor in "oil," but it appears in "gasoline" and "exhaust" as well as In the "universal," in "gears," and in 'differential." It has no it*.- for "lights" or "horns" hut makes tin- "wheels" aud "tires" tun And how would the old bus look without "fenders," "panels," or "seats?" So don't he unmindful of that little letter "IT even though it doesn't take to "golf," f6r It helps make "baseball and "tennis," in fact manages to make itself necessary in most of the things we do.

Fire Threatens Big Timber Area Portland, Ore., Nov. 27.?An unprecedented fire threat tonight confronted tlie rich forests of western Oregon, reduced to tinderbox dryness by one of the worst fall droughts in the state's history. With 2.'Mil) tired lighters on the line* and (lames advancing on several fronts. State Forester J. W. Ferguson said the timber country never before faced such a menace. No rain was in sight for a country normally dripping wet at this time of the year. Some officials indicated that unless soaking rains set in, the state might rxpoct a major conflagrat ion. Whether it repeats the Bandon disaster of September 20. in 'which two town-' in southwestern Oregon were wi,.et, out with a loss of at leas! 12 liv?-s depends upon the frenkishness of wind and tire.

The United State* bureau saya that "there la aome evidence that the general trend lowajrd comparalively warm, dry wintcra that hug been in evidence for u quarter of a | century hag reached Ra peak aud downward awing toward colder, wetter wlntera haa begun." The average citizen doeu nut re inC'iitber much ubout the weather of tile prevlouu year. All winlera aeem cold while they are on. Weather men keep data to which they cau refer whenever ncceatary.

Mr. Floyd Celebrates 83rd Birthday Our esteemed friend, Robert 8. Floyd, who Uvea near enough and Is a visitor within the limits of Kershaw often ^enough, and Is also highly esteemed enough by our citizens generally to be classed as a citizen of the town, was given a glud surprise on Sunday when the near members of his family, children, grandchildren, and other members of their family, assembled with them at hla home to honor him with a big family dinner in celebration of his eighty-third birthday.
