Right at this time when he is still
wearing his coat and before he bares
his arms for spring blowing, the "hired
man on the Minnesota, North Dakota
or South Dakota farm has a good
chance to laugh in his sleeve at the
hired man. in the city, for farm
wages have gone up in the last few
years and out in the country the
higher cost of living thai comes
around in the city and takes away a
wage increase Is On-eXistent for the
al Garner
1t was the case in 1902 that in North
Dakota the average farm hand got
$25.05 a. month. In 1911 he got $3.50.
In 1912 a got $1,000, and if the north
west gets a big crop acreage and a big
crop in 1913. which the abundant mois-
ture as spring is opening would indi-
cate, there will probably be more farm
work than ever and fewer men rela-
lively to do 1t, and this a may see
a still higher range. 1t Is true that
city wages have gone up. But in the
country there are two magic words
that make a mighty difference.
Board Goes With Pay.
And board are the words. What
matters it If food goes up or down?
The farm hand makes his contract with
the farmer for $25, $26, $27, or $50 a
month, as the case may be, and
board" Therefore he eats abundantly
and regularly and may be counted to
show his face in the kitchen doorway
very shortly after the farm housewife
lets go the signal that g meal is on the
table. Whatever the cost Of the meal
to his employer the farm hand has no
need for worrlment. Therein he has
the laugh on the city worker who
maintains a home.
The rising scale of farm wages is a
favorable factor for the northwest
from the standpoint Of probability of
this coming season. How 1t strikes the
farmer who pays the bill is quite an
other matter,
Government Reports Increase.
The federal government has issued a
report showing changes in the wage
scale on the farms. Besides board, the
average monthly pay for farm labor,
in the three northwestern states in
which Minneapolis is most interested,
shows the following advances:
North Dakota .$25.7 70 $2S.9 $50. 80
Minnesota $500. 22.79 26.1O 27.9
South Dakota 1855 27.OO 2S.6O
In ten years, from 1902 to 1912,
farm wages nave advanced 22.4% in
Minnesota, 21% in North Dakota and
21.4% in South Dakota. The figures
include the harvest season. In Mime
sofa the average farm hand" who re-
ceived $3.50 a. day with board in or.
binary times. got $2.37 during harvest
in North Dakota the figures were $1.91
and $2.70, and in South Dakota $1.S5
and $2.40.

SAVES BOY FROM
| DEATH IN CREEK
MAN SEES BODY BEING SWEPT
INTO TUNNEL AND PLUNG-
Es TO RESCUE.

Minneapolis, April Caught just
as the swiriing waters Of Bassett's
creek was about to carry him into the
tunnel below Sixth avenue, Benjamin
Scheffman. the 1~0-year-old son of
Morris Scheffman, 1900 Fifth avenue
north, was carried unconscious to
safety by Samuel Freed, 2013 Sixth
avenue north, late Sunday. The boy
was taken to his home n revived.
Freed said today that he was stand
ing near the creek at Sixth avenue,
near Dupont avenue. and noticed a
strange object floating on the water
below the tunnel that ends at Sixth
avenue. He watched until he saw that
the object was a cap and beneath 1t
was a face.
Running along the bank to a point
below the body, Freed plunged into
the water and wan tosthe boys res
cue. He staggered up the bank and
spectators directed him to the Scheff-
man home.
The boy had beer playing alone at
| Sixth avenue and had slipped into the
swollen stream a moment before Freed
! had e him. Just below the spot
| where he was rescued the creek enters
q tunnel thai carries its water into
the river.

the ROLL Of HEROES
Captain Amundsen at Coneordia COL
isge Will Tell of Polar and Equa-
toriaI Explorations.

The zest for exploration of unknown
regions, both those OF the north and
south poles, and those OF the equator
ial forests n deserts Of Africa and
South America, has resulted in many
disasters and has taken the toll of
many human lives, but few have been
more overwhelming and more heart
rending than that of the past week
Capt. Robert +. Scott of the Royal
British navy, who had hoped to be the
first to plant the flag Of his country at
the south pole, was first of all fore
stalled by the equally intrepid Norwe-
gian, Capt. Roald Amundsen, and then
with several Of his companions met an
awful death IN his way back to civil
lZation. At the present moment little
is known beyond the fact OF the ami
hilation of Captain Scott and his party
at a time when they had almost reach
ed safety, and that they must have
fought bravely for their lives against
terrible odds before they succumbed to
the blizzard that brought with it their
doom.
Amundsen in Same Regions.
Having traversed the same regions,
and having followed the same route
utIdGi illllloA SOAAIlNIOIA5B captain
Amundsen Is thereby well equipped to
make a conjecture as to their last mo-
ments which is probably close to the
actual facts. Always before them"
he says, there stretched hat awful
waste of ice. Can you see it? 1t is
fiat ice stretched tight acros the
country in long, CLASSY u%ndulations,
stretching away SO far and white
that the eye cannot bear to follow it.
And across the frozen surface sweeps
the wind-furiousiy. The great fiat
expanse offers a terrific sweep for the
blast and there Is no protection except
what man is able to build for himself
Many will question the use Of this
waste Of human lives, many will Won
der what good it does to visit such
uninhabitable regions, and many will
doubtless condemn these and the null
titude Of other explorers for their fool
ish hardihood. Yet exploration and
adventure adds to mans stock Of eX-
p]erience and to his store of human
knowledge, and there have been many
sacrifices of human lives~in useless
warfare, for in~stanCe-that have re-
suited in nothing. Polar and equato-
rial explorations have their usages,
and 1t is perfectly clear that whatever
lives are lost during their course are
not lost in vain.

Manager Gross and Sales Manager
Wood of the Baldwin Touring mills of

ed. The sales of flour for the month
of March, this year. have exceeded
by about 1000 barrels, in round fig
ures, sales for the month of March since
the mill was opened in Moorhead,
twenty-four years ago. The sales for
the first twenty days of the month,
just closed, exceeded the sales for the
entire month Of March for six years
and now the close Of the month dis

Chicago, April THAT the short in
terest in wheat here is not large was

market yesterday. Traders said that
had there been an oVersold condition
there would nave undoubtedly been an
advance of 2 to 3 cents in the face of
sensational jump Of equal to 15hc in
March wheat in Liverpool due to COW
ering by belated shorts. A Chicago
trader who covered a good sized line
of short wheat in Liverpool Saturday
said that he was not buying there
yesterday. 1t was the gossip that a
local export house was the largest
buyer IN Liverpool early in the day,
covering shorts. Trading in the March
futures in Liverpool ceased at 1870 D.

looking for a good decrease in the Wis
IDLE supply in today'B report which
will compare with q. loss of 2,0l1, 900
