sponsible for that tale. l hope that
some time you will realize what you've

ter to her brother was as follows:

ARMY NEEDED
FOR HARVEST
THERE is WORK FOR THOUSANDS
IN WASHINGTON WHEAT
FIELDS.

w. A. Ross, assistant general pas
senger agent of the Great Northern
has received notice from the principal
Offices of the company at ST. Paul,
stating that $4,000 men were needed
in the harvest fields of Minnesota and
North Dakota, along the line of the
road. Harvesting the wheat crop has
lust begun in North Dakota. and the
farmers need an army of men to help
them.
In eastern Washington thousands of
men are needed, but the demand is not
so urgent at present. The Introduction
of the combination harvester did much
to alleviate the scarcity of laborers,
but men are still in demand for
threshing.
The yield of wheat in North Dakota
is estimated at 100000 bushels. Con-
siderable damage was done by hail
storms, but the aggregate number OF
bushels will be enormous, according to
the crop reports. L lie SCdltlly VI ilCip
will retard harvesting in that state.
The Great Northern and the North
ern Pacific are offering inducements
in the way of reduced fares to bring
laborers westward. Because of the fact
that men are needed in Washington
no eastward excursion rates have been
offered. If the thousands of men who
yearly migrate from one field of ac-
tivity to another should decide to come
to Washington, immediate employment
could be found.
to handle the wheat crop than last
year. Congestion of freight along the
lines of the transcontinental roads has
been relieved and the grain movement
will have easy going for time, at
least. The question of furnishing suf-
ficient cars has been one that the traf
fic managers have been preparing to
meet for months. They state that there
will be no difficulty in handling the
40. 100000 bushels of wheat estimated
to be the yield in Washington. for this
year.
The earlier harvesting season in this
state will enable the railroads to get
a large part of the Washington crop to
it's destination before the demand for
cars becomes pressing in Minnesota
and North Dakota.

impetus to constructive thought on
