FARMER found
IN BLOOD POOL

Ventoria, N. D., Aug 22.-Fred Say
Ter, young farmer living near here,
was found dead today. He was haul
ing couple of hogs from the farm
to market. The team came running
into town, without a driver, when it
was recognized as being Saylers team.
This caused some anxiety among his
friends, who took charge of the team
and followed the road when they came
upon his body. His head was lying in
a pool of blood. 1t is thought that he
fell off the wagon and fell under the
wheels.

wheat YIELD

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 22.-G. S. Barnes
big farm, out by kragnes, gave a
wheat yield of twenty bushels to the
acre, which is splendid yield and
shows just what the Red River valley
will do in very dry season. 1t also
demonstrates what scientific farming
will do for land. The wheat weighed
from sixty-two to siXty.three pounds
to the bushel, and that, too, from the
thresher. The wheat has all been
shipped to William Dalrymple at Du.
luth, Mimi, who will handle it.

THE CHILD LABOR LAW

If the General Assembly, which
meets in January, should repeal or
change the child labor bill, passed
after so much difficulty by the last
Legislature, it will make serious
mistake. There is well grounded
rumor that manufacturers in diff
ferent parts of the State are object
ing to the provisions Of the law IN
question and that well directed
movement has been started by these
manufacturers which has for Its
object either the repeal or modlhca-
ton of the law in question. so lar
as we can ascertain none OF our
home manufacturers are engaged IN
this effort, and we believe that they
are satisfied with and abiding by the
law. 1t is just such law as Vlr-
ginia and every other State needs to
protect the women and children
from dangerous imposition in the
way of long hours, night work, etc.
which means in the long run broken
health, mental, moral and physical
decay. The States can no longer
tolerate the old conditions and Vir-
GINA, though slow in doing so, has
at last taken necessary steps to
avoid the dangers mentioned above,
and for the General Assembly to do
anything to restore old conditions
would be most unfortunate and in
opportune. The child labor law, so
called, has hardly been given fair
trial yet, and unless it can be made
more rigid should not be tempered
with at the coming session.

The administration will propose also
that the interstate commerce commits
sion may make Investigations into the
methods of railroads of its own Volt
ton. It will seek in addition to com
pei common carriers TO unite in fixing

seeks to protect railroads from the

strain trade In violation OF the Sher-
man antitrust act Still another pro-
vision Of the administration bill
would give TO the commission the
right to grant permission - shippers
70 designate the route over which
their shipments shall be carried.
One OF the most important sections
Of the administration bill provides
that no railroad company shall &C
luire stock in any competing railroad
company, and It is expected that the
administration measure might go so
lar as to provide that no railroad COM
pany engaged in interstate commerce
shall hold stock In a competing rail-
road. The measure Is 10 provide also
that no interstate railroad company
shall issue any additional stock or
bonds or other obligations except notes
for not more than twelve months I'M
