OIL NEWS AND COMMENT
By W. Fl. Peck,

Yesterday at the opening Of the
market, the price of crude oil adj
vanced two cents barrel, making the
present price for Mid Continent crude
81 cents. While the advance Is not
so much per barrel as the advance
which affected Pennsylvania crude
early in the week, relatively the adj
vance Is just about the same, in pro-
portion to the price paid, Now that
the market has taken an upward
turn, the oil men are especially op.
timistic with regard to future PRICES,
and better knowledge Of the prob
able consumption for the coming
year would bring stronger conviction
to that effect. That the advanced
price will stimulate drilling opera
tions. goes without saying, but that
there is a possibility of reoccur-
renee of the flush production of 1911,
is hard to believe. If the output Of
last year is equalled, several new
pools will need be discovered An
advance in refined oil is bound to
come and the ultimate consumer will
find it a slight burden only for the
reason that oil has been the cheap
est commodity on the market.

When eighteen years old he emigrat
ed to this country, and for few
years made his home at ~Faribault
MINI. In 1880 he decided to cast in
his fortunes with what was then the
territory of Dakota, and after visiting
several sections of the state, settled
in the Sheyenne Valley, making his
home in Valley City.
In 1886 Mr.. Thorkelson was mar

moved to Fingal where he engaged
in the general merchandise business.
Seventeen years later he decided to
return to Valley City, engaging in the
real estate and insurance business
with A. P. Peake. He has lived here
since that time.
Six children and his widow survive

is BADLY HAMPERED

Special to the Times Record.
Fargo, N. D., Oct. Conditions
in the state look serious unless we
get harvest help within the next few
days." declared Secretary G. P. Slime
of the Fargo Comm ercial club yester-
day. Mr.. Slime has received many
requests from all parts of the state
calling for harvest help. Langdon
yesterday wired a request for 100
threshing hands and the telegram said
that all machines in operation were
short handed and many could not be
taken out because of the need Of men.
Supply Far Snort Of Demand
The conditions in Cavalier county
is typical throughout the state,' said
Mr. Slime. 1--WE are doing everything
that can be done, but the supply of
men is far short of the demand. 1t
is very critical period for the farm
ers face the possibility of losing a
large portion of their cropsunless they
get help speedily. The railroads are
cooperating with us to send men in
to the state, and we have appealed to
the big cities in the east to send as
many men as possible. ..-
100000 Men Needed
Il found recently, by investigation
among the implement dealers, that
there are about $1,000 threshing ma
chimes in operation in this state"
said President e. J. Weiser of the
First National bank last evening.
Figuring at the rate of only twenty
men to machine that means employ
nent for 100000 men. The figures
are astonishing. It is nearly half the
of the state.'
Demand is Enormous
Basing calculations on Mr.. Weiser's
figures it is evident what an enormous
labor demand the state has. The fact
that 100000 men are needed to oper-
ate the threshing machines alone
a demand for labor as great
az is found in the eastern states,
where manufacturing is the great in
dustry. 1t means that the number of
men working on the machines is near
ly equal to the whole number of peo-
pie in Minneapolis. It is more than
equal to the entire number of men
in the Twin Cities.
OF course North Dakota has large
share of the men needed already on
her farms, but the additional need at
harvest time is tremendous. It. is be-
leved that fully 5000 men left the
state during the rainy spell, and their
places must be filled before the great
harvest can be adequately taken care
