Many Demands
For Workers in
Wheat Fields
Adams County Farmers Are Offering
Extraordinary Inducements
to Laborers.

HASTINGS. Neb., July A-(SpeciaI)-
With q record-breaking wheat crop now
ready for harvest the farmers Of Adams
county are confronted with one of the most
serious labor famines ever experienced In
this section. Men have been taken to the
farms from many lines of employment in
this city and rural Jobs paying all the way
from $3.50 to $3.50 per day with three
farm meals thrown in, still go begging
Numerous local employers find themselves
handicapped by the loss of hands that have
quit their city Jobs and gone to the wheat
fields. Yesterday all but six of the eight
cen men employed by Contractor Rine-
hart in the laying Of a long sewer dropped
their picks and shovels and made for the
farms. -Four tramp printers who struck
town about the middle Of the week. just
in time to find employment in rush work
on catalogues and other publications.
climbed into a farmers six-cylinder tour
ing car yesterday and today the editors and
publishers are celebrating the Fourth of
July by setting type and feeding press
Two base ball players that failed to make
good on the local team found Jobs at their
own terms where they will not have to
suffer the wit of merciless fans. Bartend-
ers who lost their positions through the
early closing law have received flattering
offers from farmers and several are ac-
cepted two of them being assigned to look
after the water pals for the thirsty harv-
cstcrs
All sorts of inducements are offered by
the farmers in addition to regular pay
ANY farmer is willing to provide pumpkin
pie twice a day. however much the house
wife may object, and a number Of them
have placed orders with the local brewery
for keg of beer each morning. A whole
sale ice cream manufacturer this morning
sent out a dozen ten-gallon tubs of ice
cream to squads of wheat workers
All reports Indicate that the wheat crop
will exceed all former records in this
county. both in quality and quantity, and
local automobile agents are making ar
rangements accordingly. AS many automo-
biles are already owned by farmers In this
county as there are owned in Hastings
and all the villages, and dealers say their
best prospects for future sales are among
the farmers. Last week thirty farmers tp
the vicinity Of Glenville, short distance
south of Hastings, organized a bank In an
ticipation of big returns from the wheat
harvest. and each subscribed $500 to the
capital stock That one move beat the
automobile men out Of number OF sales
but the dealers believe that II one OF the
new crop OF capitalists can be induced to
buy the others will quickly follow

tire building, and spent the day in con-
versing with the patients of the other
wards. The superintendent of the hospital
who is q woman, said that, in her opinion
there was absolutely nothing the matter
with Early, but in the absence of DR.. Bulk

today and will endeavor to obtain work.

forts that Early was brought here for
treatment DR.. Bulkely interested himself
n the case, visited Early in Washington
several times, and obtained permission from
the new York health authorities for his
removal here. There has been a wide va

that he has leprosy At any rate, DR..

In the county real estate was returned at
a valuation less than last year. but as the
board believes this was due to an error
the report has been sent back for verifi-
cation.
The Board Of Equalization will meet on
the third Monday in this month and will
continue in session until its work is COM

No valuation can be raised unless the
board hears the testimony of the county
assessor whose county is affected and
other county officials who are interested.
In the past this plan has always been fol-
lowed, but the last legislature enacted the
boards usual methods into law, so 1t is
law now for the board to send for the
county officials when a raise in assessment
is contemplated.
