SOME ARE PARTICULAR.
Harvest Hands Have a CHOICE About
Work

The demand for harvest hands is s
very positive one. Farmers are COM

getting it. The men whe come in on

workers and sometimes not A farm

A good many farmers in the south
part Of the county are pretty well
through cutting. This one condition
this year makes harvesting difficult.
The violent wind and rain storms OF
the last month blew down large
amount Of wheat, and ten days ago
1t was prophesied that thousands Of
acres would be lost on this account.
The sunshine and pleasant weather
Of the past week has raised a large
precetntage Of this wheat, but it still
leans at an angle of from thirty to
sixty degrees. The prevailing winds
and storms have all been from the
south, however, so that the grain all
leans in one direction. The result is
that in such fields the harvesting ma
chimes must all run from north to
south in order that the wheat will
fall behind the sickle instead OF in
front Of it. Going north the ma
chimes cannot cut and the machine
part Of harvesting is therefore dou-
bled. This condition prevails in hun
dreds OF fields.

DIVIDEND OF . PER CENT.
Kirby Bank Dspositors Nearly to
End Of Cash.

District court held an adjourned
session Friday morning, the principal
business being in connection with the
Kirby bank receivership. The claim
OF about $1,000 of 0. P. Gallagher
was allowed, less certain disputed
items and the court ordered divi-
dend OF per cent paid to depositors.
There has been previously paid go
per cent, this making 81 per cent on
the claims.
1t Is unlikely that more than one
or two per cent more will be paid as
a final dividend, The bank assets
alone would probably have been about
~ or 70 per cent of the dep6sit0rs
claims, but the supreme court and
leueral courts allowed something like
$751; of private debts Of Thomas
Kirby to appear as claims against
The bank and so entitled to share in
the dividends, thus cutting down the
amount to be paid to the depostors.
Receiver Halleck has managed the
affairs of the bapk carefully and
economically and the depositors have
reason to be proud of the manage
ment. They have got every possible
advantage from the handling Of the
business and as large dividends as
could be expected.
Court adjourned for the spring
term. The next term will commence
the second Monday in Septem Der.

Dickinson Could Use 200 If It Had
Them Right Now.

Many farmers are coming to town
in search Of harvest hands. The
crop outlook was SO dubious for
awhile that there was little thought
of more help but now that harvest is
with US assistance is needed. 1t is
probable that 200 men could find EN-.
ployment in the fields at $1.25 to
$l.75 a day il they were here right
now but few days more will be too
late.
