LABOR FAMINE IN
COTTON STATES
Pressing Need for Two Million
Toilers in Fields and Indus
trial Works.
New York Sun Special Service.

New Orleans, La, Aug. s.-The
states of the cotton belt are facing a
great labor famine. The planters
have been cooperating to obtain
labor for the opening Of the crop sea-
son and the results are disappointing.
In the eight cotton-producing states
there is pressing need Of 100000
more Iaborers, not alone for cotton
picking, but for railroad and indus
trial Improvement.
The reports to the cooperation
bureau place the shortage absolutely
necessary at 100000 men.
Today an additional score of labor
agents from Mississippi and Alabama
planters left for northern and eastern
cities to buy contract labor in as large
numbers as possible. Urgent tele-
grams were also dispatched in frantic
haste to the labor agents already in
these cities to make extraordinary
efforts.
The new steamship line between
New Orleans and Italy will begin the
transportation of hordes Of italians
In September. An organization fol
the promotion of desirable Italian i'm.
migration will be perfected and

The first ten filings were made by

JUST A TOUCH
OF KING FROST
FEW NORTH DAKOTA LOCAL.
TIES REPORT 1T.
No News of Losses Received, and the
Weather Has Changed Slightly
Warmer-Farmers Fearful that the
Rust Wave Is Moving Upon Them
from the South.

Special to The Journal.
Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. s.-The
weather for a few days has been excel
lent for filling grain, and, If the season
were little earlier, everyone would be
well satisfied That there is rust goes
now without saying, and in some sec
tions there has been much damage. AS a
rule however, this damage is mostly con-
fined to the southern end Of the valley.
North of Fargo there is little rust, tho
there are fields that are affected, and
there is possibility that as the grain
approaches maturity the rust will spread
and do more damage than Is now indi-
Gated. There is little rust west Of the
valley, and the greatest trouble to be
feared there is late ripening, which will
bring the grain within the influence OF
frost.
With north wind the temperature fell
until on Saturday night there were grave
fears Of frost. The temperature dropped
| down among the forties, and in some
cases even lower than that, and in a few
localities light frost was reported, but no
report has been received Of frost Sc
we're enough to injure vegetation. In gar
dens in this vicinity cucumbers, tomatoes
and other tender vegetables show not the
| slightest sign Of damage. The indications
now are for little warmer weather, and
| the chances are that before the weather
wheel has made another revolution most
| of the early grain will be out of the way
of anything but a freeze-up.
Hessian fly is doing some damage in
spots. A report from Griggs county says
| that damage has been done in sections
there, and County Treasurer Poupore OF
Grand Forks has brought in from his
farm in this county several stalks OF
wheat in which the insect is at work. The
loss is not great, but the bug is there and
at work, and there are unpleasant posi-
bilities.
A little cutting of early grain has beer
done in the southern part of the state
and in other sections farmers have har-
vested in spots, but except in the south
practically all the cutting has been o.
grain that was short and thin, headed
out in advance of the proper time, ant
| which will yield practically nothing.

BOMB IN GOTHAM,
20 ITALIANS HURT
Society Of the Black Hand Viewed
as Basis Of Dynamite Elk
/ plosion.

New York. Aug. S.-A bomb thrown
into crowd of Italians in East One
Hundred and Fifty-first street last
night injured a score or more persons
and led to the arrest today of Vim
cenzo Donetti, who the police believe
is number of the BLACK Hand"
society, which for some time has ter
rorized residents of the Italian dis
ltriots here and extorted money from
them by threats and acts of violence.
Donetti was himself more severely
injured by the bomb than any of the
Iothers, one leg being badly torn from
the hip to the ankle, but he managed
ito escape at the time and was ar
rested today at his home.
1t was some time before the police
were informed of the mountaineering,
and altho they succeeded in learning
that more than twenty persons were
injured, they have been able to find
only a few of them, as the Italians in
the neighborhood refuse to give in
formation.

BRITONS AT GOAL

Younghusband's Expedition at
Lhasa Dalai Lama Flees to
Monastery.

Lhasa, Tibet, Aug. 3.-(Delayed in
1.-The British expedi-
ton is encamped a mile from the sa-
cred mountain Of Potala, on which is
situated the dalai lama's palace and
in the immediate vicinity of the dalai
lama's private gardens.
The dalai lama fled to a monastery
eighteen miles distant. It is reported
that he has shut himself up in strict
seclusion, refusing to see even the
highest state officers, and declaring
that he will remain secluded for three
years.
Colonel Younghusband has received
a ceremonial visit from the amban,
who promised to assist in arriving at
a settlement, and made gifts Of food
to the British troops.
End of Years Journey.
Colonel Younghusband and his es-
cort Of 1000 British soldiers have now
been about year on their journey
to visit the grand lama, spiritual head
Of the 5O,OOO,OOO Buddhists in India.
The British mission is to secure with
the lama and the Chinese officials
representing China's suzerain power
in Tibet, a new trade treaty for Great
Britain. Colonel Younghusband's or
ders are to have the matter OF future
trade out with the dalai lama person
ally, ana not TO treat WITH any SECOND
person.
The lama is supposed to be so holy
that it Is sacrilege for an unbeliever
to look upon him, but is believed that
| he Is f1eeinga from the British agent
more in fear of physical harm than OF
| injury to his spiritual self.
| Colonel Younghusband is one Of the
| best-known of oriental travellers. He
has made the longest journey in Chi
| nese territory ever accomplished by g
European, barring, perhaps, Marco
Polo and has also Travelled extensive.

RAILROADS 0BDURATE;;
RATE CHANGE UNLIKELY
Special to The Journal.

Special to Inc journal.
New York, Aug. s.-Altho there
has been no official announcement, it
is assured that the trunk line asso-
citation will not wholly grant the re-
cent request of the Millers' National
federation and raise rates on wheat
to protect export flour from the
United States. Since the meeting of
flour and railroad men ten days ago,
the trunk line committee has had the
subject under consideration and the
railroads appear to be opposed to any
changes in rates other than are re-
CURED by conditions in this country.
In the matterEsof protecting the
American miller against foreign COM
petitors, the railroads do not feel as
tho it were in their province They
assume that the millers have asked
too much when they request the rail-
roads to fight their. battle abroad by
making changes which, at present, 1t
is urged, are entirely uncalled for by
any existing circumstances in this
country = H-

BUNCH TOGETHER
Coffee Has Curious Way of Finally
Attacking Some Organ.

Ais that come from coffee are GU
mulative, that is, unless the coffee is
taken away new troubles are contin-
ually appearing and the old ones get
worse.
ITO begin WITH says a Kansan, at
was a slave to coffee just as thousands
Of others today; thought I could not
live without drinking strong coffee
every morning for breakfast and had
sick headaches that kept me in bed
several days every month. Could
hardly keep my food on my stomach
throw anything up and when could
get hot coffee to stay on my stomach
I thought was better.
We'll, two years ago this spring
was that sick with rheumatism could
not use my right arm to do anything,
had heart trouble, was nervous. My
nerves were all unstrung and my fin
ger nails and tips were blue as If I
had a chill all the time and my face
and hands yellow as a pumpkin. My
doctor said it was heart disease and
rheumatism and my neighbors said 7
had Bright's Disease and was going
to die.
well, I did not know what on earth
was the matter and every morning
would drag myself out of bed and go
to breakfast, not to eat anything but
to force down some more coffee.
Then in a little while would be SO
nervous, my heart would beat like
eve rything.
Finally one morning told my hus-
band I believed coffee was the cause.
Of this trouble and that thought L
would try Postum which I had seen
advertised He said All right, so we
got Postum and although I did not
like it at first got right down to bust
ness and made 1t according to direc-
lions, then 1t was fine and the whole
family got to using it and I tell you
| 1t has worked wonders for me. Thanks
to Postum in place of the poison, cof-
fee, now enjoy good health, have not
| been in bed with sick headache for
two years although / had it for 80
years before I began Postum, and my
nerves are now strong and have no
trouble from my heart or from the
rheumatism.

/ ticle of food on my table. My friends
who come here and taste my Postum

RED SUNSETS EXPLAINED
Peculiar Aspect of Sky Due to Mon
tana Forest Fires.

Blood-red skies in the west have
been noticed every afternoon the past
week, beginning as early some days as
8 o'clock The sun has turned a. clar-
ct color and could be gazed at steadily
with the naked eye without discom-
fort Turnout the Red River valley
this peculiar hazy condition has been
much in evidence and communica-
tons have been pouring into the
weather bureau asking for an expla-
nation.
The reason given at the weather
station is that it is the result of the
continual winds from westerly di-
rection. These have blown the ashes
from the Montana forest fires for
hundreds of miles. There has been
no rain to dispel the dust and until
the winds change or there is a shower
the haze will continue.
