ridian. The men assigned to this
work are directed to report on July 1
to Minot, N. D., to confer with Macy
H. Lapham, who is in charge of the
work, and after consultation in regard
to the methods to be used in conduct.
ing this survey they are directed to
use as their headquarters the towns
| of Minot and Williston, and the
Great Northern road, and Bismarck
and Dickinson for the southern por.
ton of the area to be surveyed.
I'm case it is convenient for you,
shall be glad to have you arrange to
accompany any or all of these parties
during the progress of the survey
and shall instruct my men in case you
so desire to show you the methods
by which the work is conducted and
the results which we will be able tc

National and State Governments Are
Working Hand In Hand.
Farmers have already started to
talk harvest hand" They expect a
bumper crop and want men to take
care of it when it is ready to cut and
thresh. Labor, like the crops, is very
hard to estimate until the last min

will be experienced this coming har-
vest.
Last year there was quite short
age and in some localities exorbitant
prices were paid for any kind of la
Dor. While last years crop was very
good, there is every reason to believe
that the coming harvest will far sur
pass it.
This year the national government
has taken hold of the farm labor ques-
tion and immigrants can be sent to
any locality, and it is expected that
good results will be obtained. The
new arrivals can be secured either di.
rect from Washington or through the

The farmers will not be the only
ones benefited by this system, but all
persons employing both common and
skilled labor can secure men in a
similar Manner

II am making this trip over the
state principally to stir the people up
to securing some laws for the preven-
ton of child labor. Of course. such
laws are not needed just at present,
that is done, but this is the time when
such laws should be made for the
good Of the manufacturer as we'll as
the laboring people.
Il would also like to see laws passed

several assistants, and also a factory
inspector. Minnesota now has a COM

NO TIME LIMIT ON TAXES.

Judgments Stand as Lien Beyond
Ten-Year Period in Other Cases.
Judge Charles F. Templeton of
Grand Forks has decided that tax
judgments are good for an indefinite
period and the law which limits the
validity of other judgments does not
apply to tax judgments, which will
stand as lien against land until sat,
isfied.
The decision was made in the case
of Michael Hansen VS.. Grand Forks
County and State of North Dakota, in
which the plaintiff claimed that his
title to the land should be cleared be-
cause the judgments for taxes had
been on record for more than ten
years. The judgments were given
against the land in 1898, when John
A. johnson owned the tract. Several
times since then the land has been
transferred and finally is in the hands
Of Hansen.
Judge Templetcn also decided the
case Of Oxender VS.. Grand Forks
County Commissioners; in which the
plaintiff sought to secure an order re-
versing the action Of the county board
In resembling the resolution appointing
him as superintendent Of the poor
farm at Arvilla. The court held that
the commissioners acted within their
rights in the action and Oxender lost
his case.

DR.. Taylor Defense Of the
College Bred Girl.

DR.. Taylor, president of Vassar College, in
Interview given in St Louis on the occasion of
his recent visit to that city by invitation of the
Vassar College Alumnae Association exonerated
the college girls from the responsibility, wrongly
charged against them in the matter of a serious
falling off in the matrimonial market. He blames
national extravaganza for the decrease in marriages
and evidences of suicide. He exonerated the
college girls of placing themselves above matri-
mony by reason of their university training, and
declared that the recent financial furry should be
taken foretaste of the reaction which is sure
to come from our national extravaganza
Doctor Taylor said the upift of women in this
country dated from times and the move
ment would continue while women's colleges were
supported. He declared the horrors of the Civil
War developed the best qualities of the nations
women and led to a recognition of their status In
the country's public life.
st is a deeprooted fallacy that the college
woman is averse to entering the married state
said Doctor Taylor. "More than so per cent of our
graduates have married and large percentage of
those single have failed to occupy themselves with
professional or business pursuits Any decrease
in the marriage rate of this country is due to the
extravagant way Americans live The old-fash
toned conservatism of family's needs has passed
away and in its place there has arisen desire for
luXuries that unthought of fifty years ago.
AS consequence the young man of our time dares
not marry because his salary does not meet the
requirements of the modern IDEA OF now FAMILY
should be supported
women gained prominence in public life in this
country for the first time during the Civil War
While masculine experts we're in charge of the san
itarv improvements of camps and besieged cities,
many women aided in this work me services OF
MANY committees of women in the Civil War were
invaluable
