Harvest Hands

Are in demand along the Great Northern
Railway in Minnesota and North Dakota.
Thousands of men will be required to assist
in harvesting and threshing what promises
to be the most magnificent crop in the his
tory of these states. In order to meet this
extraordinary demand for harvest hands,
we have arranged Tor low one way rate Of
$500. This rate will be in effect from Chi
cago, ILL.,, to all points as far west as Minot,
n. Oak. Tickets will be on sale every day
from July Goth to August Goth for parties
of five or more on one ticket. We will also
have low round trip homeseekers' tickets
on sale on certain days. In view of the
shortage of farm help during the spring
and summer, and the prospects for an enor-
nous crop, wages are sure to be high. This
is your opportunity to visit this great agri-
cultural section of the Northwest at very
small cost and secure a home and make
some money. There is still some free land
west of Mnot that is suitable for mixed
farming and stock raising, and decided land
can be purchased at reasonable figures.

start, the number in your party, ETC., and
our travelling representative will call on

kilograms had been sent members of
the commission summoning them to
meet here Friday. 1t is probable that
as soon as the commission organizes
President Roosevelt will present a
formal letter of instructions. The first
step of the commission will be to take
testimony of the miners, who will be
regarded as plaintiffs in the case. Both
sides will be informed they are to be
present either personally or by coun-
sci. The first testimony will probably
be heard at Wilkesbarre and then in
Philadelphia and New York. 1t is prob
able that during the taking of testi-
mony reporters of the press will be
present. How long the hearings will
continue nobody can foretell. At the
conclusion each member of the COM
mission will be supplied with a copy
of the testimony and will consider ii
at his leosure. Subsequently the COM
mission will reconvene, perhaps in this
city. to formulate it's report for presen-
tation to the president.
