By FRANK COMERFORD.
■jhe world lives by two kinds of
work, the work" on the soil anil Ihe la-
bor spent in 111:ih ing things In this
way we gel tin- tilings we eat and
wear. We have eaten up our surplus.
The world's reserve is gone. We are
literally living from hand to mottlli. To
overcome the food shortage we uiust
put every Inch of available ground into
production. Only by doing this can we
live and gradually get back ihe iir
plus which stood as a protect ion
• gainst crop failures.
Production is not automatic, it is ihe
work of man. There is not anything
complex nboi.it it. You can't use
magic. To grow tilings men must
plow and gather. The will to work
is our greatest need. The land is
available, (,'od furnishes the sunshine
and Ihe rain. To get the plows, trac-
tors and farm tools we miisi look to
ihe industrial arm of life. Here again
is the call for men. We are short of
man power. Men were killed and
crippled in the war. The men who
survived the War must help do ihe
work that would have been done by
those who did not come hack. In
their present frame of mind they do
not will to work, at least under Mi
old conditions obtaining beiore lb
war. Ii is necessary to furnish them
with an inducement to work. 'I her,
was litile inducement for men to worl
before Ihe wiir. The I art
not kicking at work. Their olijc.iiiu
gne> to the unfairness shown in dis
irlhullng the result. It isn't any -<■
cret. They are shouting il from tin
housetops of Kurope, they demand ;
larger share of the things they pr*i
dnce. or they refuse to work. I here i
a good deal of human nature in it. to<
Ii is only human nature lo think ,,
self. There isn'i uiiyihtng iinnaiiiral
in the workiugiuati looking for reward
Willingness to work is largely In
mi ihe thought of Working for oneself
Five things are uecessarv to stall
and keep production going. In othei
words, to gel Ihe clothes, shi
stockings, coal and comforts of life, to
give the farmer ifle tools lie needs for
agricultural production, so that we may
r n[ ; to provide the trunsportaiion
necessary to collection and dlstrlbu
lion, to bring the city to the country
slid the country to ihe market *e miisi
do tlve essential thing-.
P roduction's First Nctd.
First, we must have plant-, ami 1
use the word in the mosl general,
sense. These plants must equipped
with machinery and tools, ihey must
he ready for work.
Secoud. a plant is useless ami
.tauds Idle unless we provide raw ma-
lerial, the thing furnished by nature
that man and machine work into the
finished product.
Third, we musi have coal. Coal ruus
ihe machine and keeps warm the home
of the man who runs ihe machine. The
helpless,iess of the world without coal
is brought home lo me while I am writ-
ing these nrtlcles. The miners have
left the pit. The government, through j
ihe courts, has tried to force theui|
hack. The effort is a failure. The,
streets are ilar* at night. 'Ihe house-,
are cold. Business is crying out j
sgainst necessary restrictions Imposed j
because of the coat shortage. I realize ^
as 1 never have before how dependent,
we dre on the men who pick ami dig
the coal. All of the intelligence amlj
culture, tlie courts, the gold, are but j
symbols of power. When the coal
miners folded their hands ami set their,
teeth things stopped.
Fourth, transportation is necessary
to the gathering, collecting and deliv-
ering of raw material and the distrlbu-
Hon of the finished product.
Fifth, and last, hut first lu inipor ,
tance, is man power. The purpose of
production is man. 1'le is master of It
at every stage. In every department.1
Without tiim production is Impossible.
The business men who proceed on the
theory that men could not live without
tbelr business, its pay roll, forget the
first and gieater truth that there would
be no business without the workers.
M«ii cuts, digs, gathers and hauls the
raw material. lie hews the wood

Ha digs and shovels the coal which
makes the power. He defies the heat
of the furnace. He builds Ihe locorao

the signal of safety.
Railroads All Worn Out.
Transportation In Kurope Is partly (
paralyzed. During the war railroad;
tracks and roadbeds were allowed t"
deteriorate I' could not be helped.!
hut the fact thai It was unavoidable j
doesn't alter the situation. Koadbed
and rails have fullen lo pieces. There i
is a terrible shortage of cars Kvery
