able limits. The harvest hands are
cosmopolitan to a certain degree.
While all the individuals of the great
army Of unemployed are accustomed to
take turn at the harvest fields, the
Minnesota harvest hand is apt to have
already served stern apprenticeship
in the northern woods. After the log
drives have been brought safely down
to their, destination the lumberman is
generally ready to lay or for week or
two. The first of June, however. finds
him in the harvest fields OF Kentucky
and Tennessee. From that time on the
wheat crop is being harvested in some
portion of the United States. July
finds the wheat we'll ripened in Illinois
while wheat in North Dakota and Man
itoba is frequently not ready for the
sickle till Sept. l. Thus the harvest
hand follows the 1ipening crop for sew
eral weeks and often ends his autumn
labors with the stacking of the grain in
Canada.
There is a speck of war visible on the
aggressive Eighth ward horizon. The
Eighth is a fighting ward, and there
will be good deal more than speck
in sight before many days. The action
of the street railway company in dis
continuing the Thirtystirst street line
between the junction and the lake is
what is causing the rumpus. That line
was discontinued Thursday upon the
opening of the new Hennepin boule-
ward line, and there are already blood
spots on the Eighth ward moon. There
is kick from all hands. The people
along the ,Thirty-6rst street line are
especially wrathY, as the new arrange
ment compels them to walk several
blocks farther to get car. The open
ing of the Lyndale avenue extension
helps out numbers, but the great ma
jorlty can get no such facilities as the
old lake line gave them. Then the resi-
dents between the city and the junction
don't like it, as they are now cut off
from the lakes. 1t has been Que of their
most popular diversions these summer
evenings to take the car and spin out to
Lake Harriet for brief outing. Under
the new regime they will have to go to
the city and thence to the lake via the
Hennepin line, a tedious undertaking,
indeed.
