NEED OF FUNDS.
North Dakota Candidates Barred Tn.
der New Act.

Bismarck. - Political party cam.
paign managers are up against a real
problem in North Dakota, the ques.
ton of finances having assumed Sc
rtous proportions under the construc.
ton of the corrupt practices act,
which prohibits candidates from con.
tributing to a fund to be used in fur.
thering their own interests. The great
est source of revenue for the political
managers. SO far as the state ticket
is concerned. has thus been closed,
and they must cast about for new
means to carry on the work.
For the republicans the situation ia
even more critical than for the demo-
Gratis. The state committee of the re-
publican party is devoting no atten.
ton to the national ticket. so can
expect no support from the national
campaign bureau. Chairman Gray,
however. is confident he will find a
way to supply the wants of the treas
ury department.
The democrats expect aid from the
national organization because of the
hope Of carrying the state for Wilson.
The same holds true of the bull moose
organization.
Not only did the legislature throw
up his barrier against campaign con.
tributions, but it also prohibited solic-
itors for aid for charitable institu.
tions. ETC.. from making advances to
candidates during campaign: it cut
down expenses for campaign cigars
and drinks; it created the publicity of
candidates expenses to protect a can.
didate from defeat through over-ex-
penditures Of opposing aspirants. and

provisions that will mean material
gains. financially. for the man who
seeks as Office.

d. 8. BOYS ALSO IN LINE.
Vacations Will Be Granted to 1000
Youths. ss

Fargo. - Nearly one thousand
young men, students In the colleges
and high schools Of Fargo will leave
before the end Of the week to take the
place Of laborers in the harvest fields
Of North Dakota.
In response to the insistent demand
for farm laborers throughout the state
the school heads have agreed to allow
all male students two weeks vaca-
ton and every student who is able
will be urged to seek work on the
farms.
Many members of the Fargo Com.
mercial club will also go to the fields.
The business men believe that the
prosperity of the state depends upon
q speedy completion of the harvest and
threshing and they hope by their ex-
ample to inspire general cooperation
throughout the state. A committee has
been appointed to secure workers in
the city and it is announced that near.
ly 100 business men have promised to
go to the fields for at least one week.
5000 Men are Needed.
At the most conservative estimate.
5000 men are now needed in the state
to complete the harvest. 1t is prob.
able that 10000 men could find work
at excellent wages, but experts de.
clare that half that many are neces.
sary to prevent the state suffering a
great loss. kilograms pour into the
Office of the Fargo Commercial club
by scores requesting men. Every en-
ployment agency in the city is offer.
ing the highest wages that have been
offered this summer. but only few
men can be secured here.
Word has been received from the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
railroads that they will cooperate with
the Commercial clubs in securing a
supply Of laborers. Large posters are
being printed and the Twin Cities and
Chicago and other large middle west
ern cities will be flooded with the bills
announcing the demand for help on the
North Dakota farms.
The Fargo Commercial club will
urge the railroads to provide free
transportation to all laborers who will
come to the state and it is thought
that the railroads will comply with
the request.

Vegetable Fiber for Shoes.

A Haverhill (Mass.) shoeman has
obtained patents giving him the right
to make vamps and tops of vegetable
6ber which he has invented and per-
tected to be used in the manufacture
bf shoes. A few cases of shoes have
been made Of this material which ap-
pears to be good substitute for leath-
sr. The fiber is said to be particular
y adaptable for warm weather wear
because, being of woven material,
air can penetrate the vamp and top.
The inventor also claims that a shoe
made Of this material is waterproof.

y-Five to Fifty Are Much Benefited

The schange of life +" is q most
critical period in a womans ex-
istenoe, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in q de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
Irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietuda and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period In life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
