TALK WITH LEWIS HART.
HOT GAME IS PROMISED
Sunday School Baseball Championship
at Stake in Game to be Played
Saturday.

The final battle for the Sunday
school baseball championship of Far
go will be fought next Saturday even
ing beginning promptly at 1880 be-
tween the blood thirsty members of the
Presbyterian Sunday school and the
warlike and revengeful members Of the
Methodist Sunday school. Both teams
have been actively engaged In practice
during the last week and the game
promises to be one for blood. A few
weeks ago in practice game the Pres
byterians beat the Methodists out by
one score in the fatal ninth. DIR. Beard,
president of the Fargo Ministerial as
ISOLATION will hold the indicator and
the game will be played on the Far
go college grounds, and will be the
closing event of the Methodist Sunday
school picnic Neither team has as yet
been selected but A. M. McNair is
sure of place on the Presbyterian
team and r. v. Bogus is certain of
a place on the Methodist team. These
two men are captains of their re-
spective teams and thus feel conf
dent of playing position.
The Methodists are making big
preparations for the play picnic which
they will hold Saturday afternoon at
Island park beginning at 4:30. This
is the second of a series of play pic
mics and the previous one proved to
be such a bowling success that this
one Is expected to be the best picnic
ever given In the city. Chief among
the attractions of the picnic will be
game of play baseball between the
members of the intermediate depart
ment and the members of the adult
department. This game is a new one
in Fargo and when sprung at the last
picnic it scored decided hit The
game is played with mixed lineup of
both girls and boys and is similar to in
door baseball but played out sof doors
One of the peculiar features of the
game is that one can run either way
when running bases. A tug Of war,
block tag, and other games will be in
dulged in during the evening.
The Methodist picnic will be for
members of the senior, intermediate
and adult department only and the
committee on arrangements held
meeting this afternoon at the Y. M.
c.. A. to complete the programme and
appoint officials. The class Of Mrs.
G. NJ. Callander has agreed to furnish
all the lemonade for the occasion and

FARMERS ARE
Needing help
SHORTAGE OF HARVEST HELP
MAY RESULT IN BOOST IN
WAGE SCALE IN NORTHERN
PART OF STATE SAYS GRAND
FORKS HERALD.

| Grand Forks Hera1G: Although a
few days ago it looked as though there
would be plenty o. harvest laborers
now there comes a cry for men from
the farms in this section of the state
| Within the last few days an unusual
shortage has developed, the farmers
not knowing where to turn. for help.
Unless relief comes within very
short time, the farmers will, in all
probability, be compelled to boost the
wage scale, and it is doubtful if even
this will serve to bring forth the de-
sired number of harvest hands.
| 'Harvesters and threshers wanted
$2.25 per day and board; thirty to
forty days work" A card, bearing the
| above inscription, was nailed on the
front wall of local employment
agency yesterday, but it did not have
the desired effect. There are very few
men in the city for this time of the
year. and what few have found their
way here are either afraid of work or
think the wages. are not high enough
Demand Was Large.
One local employment agent stated
last evening that he could have used
to obtain them. but this was impossi-
bic He stated that most of the in
quiries at histoffice came from Trail.
Pembina and Grand Forks counties
the farmers offering 1925 per day,
with a possibility of $3.50 during
threshing season.
Another Grand Forks employment
agent stated that there were fewer
men this year than in previous years.
He believes the shortage in the labor
market is due to the fact that there
has been SO much talk of a crop fall
ure in this section of the state. He
also stated that the laborers had
either left the city or had not ventured
to come here in the face of reported
crop failures. According to inquiries
received at his Office, the farmers are
offering from $500 to $3.50 per day.
Have Gone Further West.
From the statements of these two
employment agencies, it is evident
that the farmers need harvest hands
in the worst way. The same condi-
ton of affairs exists on the Minnesota
side of the river. Farmers surround
ing East Grand Forks complain of NOT
oelng able TO secure enough laborers.
There are number of men on both
sides of the river who would do well
to hire out as harvest hands, but they
evidently do not care for such siren
uous work. On the other hand there
have not been as many transients in
the city, especially in East Grand
Forks, during the past six months as
during corresponding time in prev
ious years. Instead of stopping off
in this section Of the country and hir-
Ing out as farm hands, the men from
the woods continued on their way
west eager to secure land of their own
or obtain better employment.

sTRiNoENT MEASURES AGAINST
COLORADO sTockmEN BY
GOVERNMENT.
LEGISLATUREsAT FAULT
RESULT OF NOT ENFORCING
LAW FOR DIPPING.
ANIMALS.

Denver.-Because successive legisla-
n law making it possible for the State
Live Stock Inspection Bureau to en-
force its orders calling for the dip
ping of cattle suffering from scabies,
the federal government has decided
upon stringent measures.
"The result" says A. d. Melvin.
chief of the Federal Bureau, will
have the effect of closely quarantin-
ing the state and requiring that Colo
RADIO cattle be dipped before being
moved interstate. or in the case of
exposed cattle, requiring that the
cars be placarded and the billing
marked in accordance with the depart
ment regulations in order that the
cattle may be properly handled at
market centers."
DR.. Charles G. Lamb. state veterin-
arian. received the letter Monday
from Chief Melvin, announcing the de-
cision reached by the government. DR..
Lamb Will do everything in his power
to prevent the immediate effective
ness OF the order He has been work
ing for years in an effort to induce
successive legislatures to give him
power to control the movement OF in
fected or exposed cattle within the
state.
But there was opposition on the part
of near-sighted cattlemen who saw
nothing in the scheme but extra ex-
pense.
Now the expense will be vastly
greater. and even the cattlemen who
have been most careful in the past
will suffer with the rest In addition
the effect of the federal placards will
be anything but an advertisement for
the state of Colorado.
In the past the federal government
has detailed number of inspectors to
Colorado to watch the interstate busi-
ness in Colorado cattle But now, ION
account of the absence of state con.
troll" the government cooperation
within the state inspection bureau is
to be withdrawn.

Tale of the Comet.

San Jose, Calif.-Director Campbell
of the Lick Observatory Monday gave
out the following statement:
Haliey's comet was 80 degrees
long at daybreak this morning. both
as photographed and as observed by
the naked eye. This corresponds to
a length of 24.O00000 miles. The
nearest point of the comet was H..
100000 miles from the earth. Tuesday
morning it will be nearly 100000
miles away; wednesday morning lit
tle over 100000 miles, and Wednes-
day evening the earth will be passing
through its tail The present diame-
ker of the tail at the point through
which the earth will pass is little
over 100000 miles. The bodies will
have relative velocity of about for
ty-three miles per. second, and the
time required for the passage, if the
present dimensions remain un-
changed. will be six or seven hours.
The tails of comets usually lag be-
hind the straight line drawn from the
sun through the heads. for some COM
cts. but little more. and for others sew
eral degrees. The exact time the
earth will enter the tail is accord
tngly uncertain by several hours.
