HARVEST HELP.

The Forum does not believe there
will DE any labor famine in North Da-
kota this eyar. 1t would not aid in
any movement to bring hundreds Of
we'll meaning and Industrious men into
the state if there was not employment.
There is a partial crop failure in a
few sections Of North Dakota. In 9th
ers bountiful yield is assured. There
will be great deal of work for tran
.scients. Aside from this feature, the
following comment by The st. Paul
Dispatch on the Importance Of farmers
diversifying so there will be more all
the-yeai employment for hired labor,
is Of value:
The annual cry for harvest hands is
being heard throughout the northwest.
The farmers of North Dakota alone
have appealed to the railway and en-
ployment agencies to send them s,095
men to help gather the grain that is
ripening. The problem Of getting men
needed to take care Of the harvest
in the western part Of Minnesota is
becoming serious. The same thing
happened last year and will continue to
recur so long as the tll1ers Of the soil
raise small grains extensively. II the
farmers would avoid the expense and
inconvenience and even loss inflicted
by the harvest hand shortage, and they
should do so, for it is economic folly,
they should engage in diversified farm
ing.
The present system, employed by SO
many, takes little account Of the value
Of the farmers own time during a
large part of the year. Agriculturists
plan their farming operations SO that
they have more than they can do dur
ing a part Of the year and little or
nothing to take up the rest Of their
time. They place themselves at the
mercy of the labor market at time
when it is certain to be overrun with
demands. They pay high prices in
summer in order to save their crops
from ruin. During the rest Of the year
their own time and labor are being
wasted.
The economical, business like system
is to arrange the work on the farm SO
that there will be moderate amount
of it to be done at all times during the
year 1t is thus that the farmer will
be able to get the largest returns fol
his own efforts and on the labor OF
those he employs. Furthermore, sucl
a system will tend to improve the quail
ty Of the farm labor available to EN-
players. The harvest hands who &
out from the cities a few weeks eacl
season know practically nothing abou
general farming and there is little in
centive for them to learn. If the farm
er wants good returns on what he pay
to his employees he will afford stead.
employment instead of few weeks O
work each season. The harvest han,
shortage is a bad thing for the farme
at II seasons Of the year.-Fargo Fol

SAVING MOISTURE,

W. W. dlIucI.
In the matter of saving moisture in
the soil a good many of us are a good
deal like the rabbit in the fable. In
the winter time he was always speak
ing Of building house next summer.
When summer came and he was re-
minded Of it, he answered, "Every
bush is house now.' When good
shower comes we ought to get the
moisture into the soil and keep it
there. We have no assurance that we
will have more rain right away, that
there will be enough to ripen the crop,
to put the soil in good condition for
blowing, to leave the soil with good
moisture content for next spring More
can be done in the rhirty-six hours
following q rain than at any Other
time.
If the soil is too dry, then save what
little moisture is left. Remember that
moisture eau not pass up through loose
soil.

The Devils Lake Journal goes out of
its way to take a slap at our celebra-
ton here the fourth without the least
reason for doing so. The celebration
here was one Of the best ever held in
this part Of the country, which many
Of the strangers have testified to since
their visit here, and just why the Jour
nal man should throw the slur is a
mystery. If they would pay little
more attention to how things were run
in their home town and at Chautauoua
the would be serving a better purpose.

THE CROP OUTLOOK.

While it is practically conceded that
rain is needed at once to make more
than an average crop in this section
this year, the situation is not such as
is set forth by the street corner calam-
ity howlers who frequent every town.
The editor of The World in company
with three other business men made a
trip yesterday north and northeast Of
the city and closely inspected several
fields Of grain. While on the hills
northeast Of the city there are some
spots where the lack of rain has been
of considerable damage but on the
other hand, field after field was en-
countered where the yield will be ex.
cellent.
The barley, oats, rye and corn situa.
ton is good and their yield is practi
caIIy insured.
This year teaches every farmer ono
thing, namely, that any shortage il
crop is not SO much due to lack OF
moisture as to improper farming ant
until the soil is treated in a consider
ate manner and not overworked Rota
ton OF crops and diversified farming
is the salvation of North Dakota ius'
as it has been Of the Middle Western
states and the sooner this object is at
tanned the better for the people.
The amount of hay that has beef
cut this year is wonderful and insure
bountiful supply for the local de
mand.

WOMEN AND DIsHWASHING.

The Chicago clubwomcn, who declare
officially that dishwashing is an art
and laundry work poetic, will never
arouse any enthusiasm for these oc-
equations by these means, for the
falsitv of their assumption will be
promptly recognized and their view
rejected. AS Il matter of fact dish
washin gis not an art. nor is the cleans
mig of soilcd clothes poetic; both are
drudgcry, sometimes Very toilsome,
and that is the best that can be made
of them.
But what of it, One of the chicfest
of feminine domestic burdens. judging
by the space devoted to the subject in
household periodicals and the echoes of
club discussions, to say nothing of the
frank, outspoken assertions of most OF
the women one knows. is dishwaShing.
Laundry work is less and less of an in
dividual problem, for the average mod
ern woman by no means plans to do
this for herself She hires it done, and
her worry is to find someone who will
do it well. But dishwashing! The great
majority fwomen with households OF
their own edo their own work. as the
phrase goes, and the most of them
grumble over the dishwashing. If it
were not for that, they declare, house
work could be endured. 1t is dis
agreeable work, it is monotonous; in
short, it is drudgery, and they feel a
distinct sense of injury, in being com
PEELED to perform drudgery.
Yet why should they? If labor was
imposed upon the human creature as a
curse, as some hold, no exemption for
Eve and her daughters is recorded, and
there is no sound or sane basis for the
implied assumption of the modern wo
man that she should be free from work
especially if the work is disagreeakle-
if it is drudgery. Since work is not a
curse, but blessing, the notion that
she should be relieved from it is the
less impressive. AS for drudgery, it is
a feature Of all activities. There is no
work of which certain amount of
drudgery is not part. Ask the paint
er and the sculptor if they do not find
it in their callings. The writer finds it
in the labor of putting his ideas on
paper, whether by means of pen or
type machine The doctor unloads as
many tiresome tasks as possible or
nurse and druggist, and the lawyer on
clerk and stenographer, but there are
many duties, sheer drudgery, from
! which they cannot escape.
For people who enjoy their occupation
in life as whole the incidental drudg
cry is accepted as matter Of course
and without complaint. Why do wo
men grumble SO over dishwashing?
Do they dislike the general duties and
the responsibilities Of housekeeping
and make their objection to dishwash-
ing-the most disagreeable Of these du-
ties-an excuse whereby they can evale
the rest9 Olive Schreiner, in her pow
erful study of feminine conditions,
charges civilized woman with terden-
cy to become parasite i, creature
not willing to do her part Of the
worlds work. 1t is not a pleasant
term, but is not this persistent groan-
ing and grumbling over certain es-
sential and unavoidable household task
a small lit of evidence IL support of
Miss Schreincr's assertion?

MOTION IS ovERRULED
Continued from page ~

It will be remembered by the readers
Of The World that this is the case
brought by an old Indian woman
against Anna Johnson, housekeeper for
a man at Cando, who attempted to file
on piece of land occupied and i'm
proved by the Indian. The case was
tried before Judge Hunt at Rolla and
the plaintiff showed clearly her resi-
dence. It will also be remembered
that interested parties in the case
caused fierce denunciation Of John
F. Armstrong, the attorney for the
plaintiff, to be published by our con-
temporary, because he had given by
request few of the facts to this paper
Mr.. Armstrong was charged with mis-
quoting the evidence and the plaintiff
was further charged with misrepresen-
tation. The following is taken YER
batim from the decision Of the land Of
| fee:
'The evidence of Margaret De-
marais and her witnesses IS to the
effect that for several years prior
to the date upon which Anna John
son. made homestead entry for the
land involved, she and her hus-
band, now deceased, had made
claim to the land and made i'm
provements by building a barn,
digging bitches, cultivating and
cutting hay on the land and also
that she had at various times resid-
ed in tent on the land, which was
located at different places on the
same.
"The testimony submitted seems
to substantiate the petition Of Mar
garet Demarais, whom it appears
is an enrolled member Of the Turtle
Mountain band of Indians, that at
the date upon which Anna John
son made her entry to the land
in dispute the plaintiff was and had
for some years been claiming the
land.'
The hearing is set for August It'll
at Rolla. Mr.. Armstrong appears fo'
the plaintiff and Silver Serumgard fol
the defendant.
