British Bank Clerks Plan Organization
Both Labor and Capital Blamed for Conditions LONDON.

At the 6ame time be believed labor in the past had been suspicious and irresponsible. He expressed the belief that workers should be given a voice in the settlement of general conditions and should be allowed to make recommendations to the employers concerning rates of pay for piece work and other matters. Employers, he said, would gain much more by patiently negotiating with their employes than by discontinuing operations. Different standards of wages, he added, were producing unrest all over the world. Therefore, he beHeved international action in adjustment of labor matters, would be beneficial.

Driving" by Officers May be Discontinued If Army Plan is Adopted
LOUISVILLE. Dec. 10 An army educational system that will place the American soldier on the highest place of efficiency is the problem receiving main consideration of the convention at Camp Zachary Taylor of reports of the army and educational institutions "This is the first time the United States has made an effort to revolve a logical and systematic course of education for the army," said Major General W. G. Haan director of the
war plans division, general staff Washington. "In war or peace the soldier i 'eventually reaches a position where he must show qualities of leadership Voj rational and education work is the
easiest way to such an end. Establishment of a code for officers by which the old "driving" methods are abandoned; and setting aside of certain hours each day in which tbe soldier must apply himself to educational work are two recommendations of the convention.
National Crop Improvement Servios. 4-w-1HE United States consumes j one-half of the world's production of newspaper and yet we have but one-fifteenth of the world's population. At the present rate of consumption and destruction by fire. Insects and fungus growths, one is forced to the conclusion that the time is not far distant when a substitute for spruce In the making of newspaper will have to be found and one of the most likely sources of supply is to be found" in the vast quantities of straw from the grain growing areas which at the present time is being wasted," says Mr. Frank Baackes, V. P. American Steel ft Wire Company. "There have been quite a number of paper mills established where straw is most available but they have made little but what Is known as meat paper of the coarser grades. "There la no difficulty in making good whit paper from such vegetable material, but the great trouble is to accumulate straw enough at any one point to keep tbe mill busy. "Tbe great power of the American
press should be able to work out a feasible plan. Probably It will be necessary to have some sort of a special commodity rate arranged so that the territory for a hundred miles can supply straw to advantage. "Straw, being bulky, cannot be shipped loose, so therefore some plan for making uniform bales must be adopted and a systematic plan for baling with a complete power outfit which will go from farm to farm, may be the economical way to do it. Within a radius of1 a hundred and fifty miles this waste product could be baled and hauled to the mill on trucks, especially in those districts where freight is delivered by truck and a return cargo desirable. 'It Is a mere matter of time when we will have no spruce and paper will have to be made from farm wastes. "Baling should be standardized. Broken Hales cost more than wire ties. The newspaper press of the country ought to get behind this agricultural movement for two reasons: First, they need the paper; second, it will make another outlet for the farm product."
