men HEADING FOR
HARVEST FIELDS
MINNESOTA FARMERS HURRY
HAVING BEFORE WHEAT is
READY TO BE CUT.

Minneapolis, July 9.-wheat is
heading in the Dakotas and its call
for harvest hands is drowning the
lusty voices Of Minnesota farmers de-
manding haymakers to help save the
crop. Haying in Minnesota is under
way. Farmers have placed orders
with local employment agencies for
men at $1.25 and $3.50 day and
board, but the call Of the wheat i
drawing the men.
Within the last month thousands of
men have passed through Minneapolis
on their way to the harvest fields. on
account OF the full fare rates on rail-
roads the employment agents have not
handled any of this business. The
men have come from all parts of the
country, but principally from the east.
Their mode OF travel has varied but
slightly. the majority passing through
on freight trains.
Away 70 the Harvest.
The harvest Will not start for two
weeks or more, but the men headed
toward the Dakotas refuse to be
stopped. Barley and oats will be
ready for the harvesters first, but 1t is

ting for at least two weeks.
Farmers who have men are busy in
the hayfields now, hoping to get the
barns filled before their men leave for
the west. Each year there is an
exodus from the Minnesota farms to
the big wheat fields, but usually the
hay crop is saved before the men
leave.
Pass Up Good Jobs.
Thoughts OF the harvest are upper
most in the minds Of the men who line
the curbs on Bridge square. PIacards

who wishes to have few dollars in
his pocket when he gets to the har-
vest fields.
On railroad construction jobs the
crews are composed mostly OF Aus
TRANS and Hungarians, and few are
being added. The employment men
say the contractors place their depen-
dence in the foreigners to remain on
the jobs until finished.

MEMORIAL SERVICES AT WARREN

The people Of Warren sincerely
mourn the untimely death Of the be-
loved governor. Here he had many
warm personal and political friends.
q public memorial service was held
IN front of the grand stand at 2
O'Clock this afternoon. AS the pupils
OF the public schools marched by the
grand stand each pupil deposited a
bouquet of flowers on a table placed
underneath a draped picture of the
departed Governor. This was a fine
and appropriate feature. Appropriate
selections by choir and by the city
band were rendered, and beautiful
and eloquent tributes to the memory
Of the beloved chieftain were spoken
by Rev. e. o. Chelgren, Rev. A. A.
Myers, Rev. G. "A. Jacobson and Rev.
Grant Stroh. It was a touching and
impressive service attended by most
OF the people of the city and many
from the country. Many eyes were
dimmed with tears, during the exer-
clses. At the close a picture was ta-
ken of the table groaning under its
weight of flowers, the loving tributes
OF the school children, the picture to
be presented to Mrs Johnson. A
more detailed account of the exercises
Will be published next week.

had been ill only few days with

upon the death Of the mother, the
further depletion Of the family circle
by the taking away Of this youngest
member was a hard blow to the sur

God loved little Leroy and took him
to the heavenly home. The funeral
was held from the Swedish Lutheran

thought was for his loving wife who

TRIBUTES FROM PROMINENT
MEN. ~


state has suffered a great loss in the
death of Governor Johnson. He had
endeared himself in the hearts of the
people of Minnesota, and he will be
universally mourned, not-only by our
people, but by the people of the nation
as WE'LL His ability of statesman
ship was universally recognized, and
it is safe to say that he was not only
the foremost man of his party in this
state, but looked upon as the most
available man to the Democratic par.
ty as presidential candidate in 1912.
Personally deeply deplore his untim-.
" death. J"
President Northrop Of University of
Minnesota Governor Johnson was a,
man Of sterling character, Of de-
lightful personality and of practical
ability that enabled hime to turn his
attention readily and effectively in
almost any direction, and possessed
manners and address that were very
charming, SO that he won the admira-
ton and thorough liking Of almost
every one whom he met. With all
these qualities he succeeded without
effort in securing the love of the
multitude Of people, and he will be
mourned as no other man in the state
could be.
Senator knute Nelson regarded
Governor Johnson as a man of mark
ed ability, honesty and integrity, a.
bove all a genial, sociable and COM
panionab1e man. Although as Re-
publican / was frequently forced to
oppose his candidacy, have never in
any campaign assailed his personal
character and integrity. Ills death is

friends and family. Especially is it
great loss to the Democratic par
