SOarCltu OF Labor.

A serious situation exists at Tara.
where the Fort Dodge and Omaha
road is being built. The contractors
are expecting difficulty in securing
laborers to complete their contracts.
and are IN danger OF FORGETTING large
sums because of their inability to
complete their contracts within the
time specified. The reason is the
large wages paid by farmers who are
unable to secure the help needed at
harvest time. The contractors made
arrangements to ship in large num-
ber of negroes from Mississippi, and
the first train load containing 125 coll
ored laborers, arrived on Thursday.
The colored men had agreed to work
for 1925, but when they found that
white laborers were receiving $1.75
to ~ objected to the discrimination
and at once went out on strike.
The white laborers now threaten
sympathetic strike until the demands
Of the colored men are acceeded to

Easu Method OF CUTTING Corn.

One OF the most difficult if not one
Of the most difficult task during the
late summer is the cutting of corn by
hand. 1t is exceedingly heavy and
disagreeable work, and coming during
the hot season is very trying. The
corn binders which have been on the
market for the last five years have
greatly lightened this work. They
not only cut and bind the corn which
stands well, but will pick up that
which leans or in a great many cases
stalks that are badly down. The work
is done better than can be done bv
hand.
The machines are not expensive, and
while it might not pay one farmer to
buy one, several could club together
and take turns in using it. Cutting
should begin just as soon rs the corn
begins to dent and the lower leaves to
dry up If cut when slightly on the
green order it is best to cut say half
dozen rows, stand the bundles up in
very small shocks aud when these are
thoroughly dried cut enough more to
finish the shock and stand these on
the outside. BY this plan the corn
will be thoroughly cured and vii !
make most excellent feed
It PAYS to use this machine for cut
ting corn intended for a silo. The in
crease amount which man can hand
lie because of the stalks being bound
more then Offsets the cost of the Irvine.
Then, to, the work can be done much
more quickly than by hand. II low
wagons arc used tho loading Of the
corn bundles is not difficult and the
material can be taken directly to the
cutter and run into the silo at once.
The cost Of putting up ensilage can be
greatly reduced by means of this corn

High Japanese Compliment.

United States Minister Beck of To-
kio, Japan, has sent TO The depart
ment Of State the following clipping
from the Toxic Daily Herald of July
10, which pays just compliment TO
the American soldiers, and which will
be greatly read by Millions of our
people, in whose estimation the Jap
lnese will be elevated because of their
appreciation of the elements that 90
to make up the splendid character of
our soldiers:
''For the last few days we have had
in Yokohama nearly 5000 American
volunteers, who have completed their
term of service in thePhillippines and
are now homeward bound They are
the Nebraska and Utah regiments, on
board the Hancock, and the Pennsyl-
vania regiment on board the Senator
Many remarks have been made about
the general appearance of these men,
who coming as they do from hard
fighting against the Fillipinos-and
the Nebraska and Utah regiments
have done some of the severest fight
ing-do not always present the spot
less purity of appearance usual in
soldiers on parade. They are nearly
all big men, showing clear traces of
the campaigning and mental worry to
which they have been subjected, in
their sunburnt skins and somewhat
cavaverous cheeks. But one thing is
apparent to everybody, and that is
the exemplary behavior of this large
number OF men on shore leave. A
few thousand soldiers are small

them can have failed to have remark.
ed, as they roam over the town, their
quiet and friendly demeanor towards
Japanese and foreigners alike, and
the entire absence of drunkenness
among their ranks. The police, on
whom the brunt of keeping order de-
wolves, in the first instance report
both in Nagasaki and here-that they
have not had a single case of refract-
DRY behavior or intoxication to deal
with. Large numbers of these volun-
teers have made the Grand hotel their
headquarters, and there they can be
seen ut leisure. All of them seem to
have money ssto burn for they have
bought curios and souvenirs in Yoko-
hama in large quantities. And this
is not to be wondered at Aside from
the fact that the American soldier is
the best paid soldier in the world, we
find that their ranks are not made up
of vagabonds, who were out of place
in the first place, and took the chance
to get employment, but of intelligent
men among whom are bankers, lawy-
ers, merchants, farmers, mechanics,
ETC., who left their homes when the
country called for volunteers to fight
for its cause. And these men have
done honor to their country and to
their flag. They have shown that
gentlemen can be fighters, and are
proving now that fighters can be
gentlemen. Washington Star.
