weeks ago. Senator Murphy has

so acres, and the yield from this piece

"A gang Of sWindlers are travelling
around the country claiming authority
to examine wells. They examine the
water through a microscope and find
all kinds of bacteria, cholera and ty-
8phoid germs, and permit the farmer
and his wife to look through the mi
scroscope, where, Of course, they see the
menagerde that will always be in a

valley have men for harvest work been
so scarce. The crop is thin. it is
true, and could be easily handled by
{ fewer men than have formerly been

\ on thousands Of acres is lying un-
shocked on the ground for want Of
men to handle 1t. In previous years
Grand Forks has been the center for
/ the distribution OF harvest help
through the districts north and west,
and during the harvest season the
streets have been lined with men look
{ ing for work. This year not an idle
man can be found, and many Of the
farmers are becoming anxious lest the
rains spoil the grain before it can be
taken care of. 5sS
