MORE MEN IN FIELDS
Fargo Industries 70 cIess, Employee
TO Help. ..' b

Fargo. N. D.. Oct. 7-In order to
meet the demand for farm labor in
tho state, managers Of business houses
and factories In the city agreed at q
mass meeting to close their establish.
ments and send their employees into
the harvest. fields. Several concerns
will pay wages to their employees in
addition TO what they can earn on the
farms. -
Az result Of tho closing OF the
business houses and factories about
1000 more men vii be sent to the
fields within the next few days. One
large concern will supply 100 laborers.
Stores. Offices and even banks will
send . part Of their employees.
Wages are the highest in The history
Of the state and movement has been
started here to urge the farmers 70
provide better beard and sleeping 40.
sommodations for laborers.

H, s. BOYS ALSO IN LINE.
Vacations viii Be Granted to 1000
Youths.

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. ....H
In response to the tnsistent demand
for farm laborers throughout the state
the school heads have agreed to allow
oil male students a 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 60 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
20 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
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 a 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
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. ..

NEED OF FUNDS.

Bismarck. - Political party oau,.
paign managers are up against . real
problem in North Dakota. the Ques.
ton of finances having assumed &C.
rious proportions under the construc-
ton of the corrupt practices act.
which prohibits candidates from con-
tributing to fund to be used in fur.
thering their own interests. The great.
est source Of revenue for the political
managers. 30 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 IL
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, 30 can
expect no support from the national
campaign bureau. Chairman Gray,
however. is confident he will end q
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 1t also prohibited sole
itors for aid for charitable institu
lions. etc., from making advances to
candidates during a campaign: 1t cut
down expenses for campaign cigars
