Labor Day Proclamation

Monday, September /, is a public holiday, our state
Legislature, in common with the legislatures of many
other states, having designated the first Monday in Sep
TENDER as Labor Day, and a legal holiday.
Throughout the nation the day will be observed by
many thousands of people with public exercises of an
appropriate character, and the thought of the nation
will on that day especially be directed to the interests
of the man who labors with his hands in the shop, on
and to the part which the laborer plays in the building
of our great social and economic system.
In recognition of the Importance of the interests to
which the observance of this day is devoted, I urge up
ON all citizens of Grand Forks that they adjust their af-
fairs in such a manner as will make possible the devo-
ton of the necessary time to the exercises proper to
this day, to the end that there may be developed better
and higher conception of the rights and responsibilities
of the laborer, the dignity of labor, and the need which
all the people of Our vast and varied population have for
each other.

quarters in connection with the al
legged attempts to hold up Timothy
Mc1lraith and Mike Harrington on the

N|NOT'S RECALL
MIGHT SUCCEED
r. A. Nestos States Attor.
ney, Sees Possible Com
bination of Elements.

The recall proceedings instituted
against Nehemiah Davis. president OF
the Minot city commission and q. s.
SHAW, police commissioner, may re-
suit in the removal of both officials
from office. in the opinion Of r. A,
Nestos. states attorney of Ward
county who is in Grand Forks today.
MI: Nestos pointed u that Davis
and Shaw represented two factions of
the residents of the Magic City which
are bitterly opposed to each other.
Ihis being the case 1t is probable
that the Davis faction will unite with
the socialists to force Shaw out Of Of
nee, while the Shaw followers may
follow the same course Of action al
regards Davis.
rberaE Expects y Lynch to Stay.
mere IS little chance of the recall
proceedings against John Lynch,
police magistrate succeeding, in the
opinion Of Mr.. Nestos. as Judge Lynch
is generally popular with all elements
with the exception Of the socialists.
The citizens may also recall Dewey
Dorman. the socialist street commits
who was arrested in the recent
riots. Mr.. Nestos believes.
81 Has STRENGTHENED Socialists.
MT. Nestos says that the recent
trouble has tended to increase rather
than diminish the strength Of the MI
not socialists. While most of. the citi-
zens are more opposed tn the social
lists than ever. many railroad men.
and others have been drawn into the
ranks Of the party.
The riots have had the effect Of
crystallizing the sentiments Of many
who were. previously neutral.
Mr.. Nestos is on his way back to
Minot from a fishing trip in northern
Minnesota. He will continue his Jour
ney tonight. 7s.

GRAVEL PAVING
IS COMPLETED
L'Hiver Avenue is Now in
Good Condition-Will
Withstand Heavy Traffic

The gravel road surface on L'Hiver
avenue has been completed, and in
the opinion of NJ. e. Durick, street
commissioner, may be depended upon
to make a roadway capable of stand
ing the heaviest traffic which passes
over that street.
Two sections Of the street were CIV
en- separate treatments by Commits
sioner Durick. On the first section
the clay sub-soil was plowed up. and
gravel six inches deep was mixed with
It.
On the second section red clay was
hauled in, and mixed with the gravel
in the proportion of one part Of clay
to two parts Of gravel. The clay acts
as a binder for the gravel, and gives
an excellent surface.
The only objection to using the red
clay binder. according to Mr.. Durick,
is the fact that by the time the clay
is hauled in. 1t brings the cost Of the
work close to hat which would be
paid for regular paving.

The Better Farming association
through their representative. o.. ID.

Inere are enough fields sufficiently
to furnish all the seed need
ea. IN this county for 1914. and the
1914 acreage ought to be fully fifty
Der cent greater than the acreage Of
this season.
Fields painted with home grown
seed, selected last fall, are far ahead
of those on which imported seed was
planted. The stalks are not quite so
large or tall, but the whole crop is
better and maturity is considerably
The Better Farming association
urged the selection OF. seed corn last
tall and those who did SO not only dis
posed Of their, surplus seed at a good
price this spring, but also nave the
best and most mature fields this fall.
Grand Forks county grown seed

regards cultivation, was sufficiently
mature to allow seed "a selection on

maturity.
The Better Farming association
hopes to see a sufficient amount Of
seed selected this fall to plant the
total acreage of the county in 1914. To
week Of September be set apart as
seed corn week. This does not signi.
fy that seed may not be selected later
but II 1t is picked at this time it will
DE insured against damage by an early
frost.
Messrs. Center, Jewett and Hoke,
who represent the association in
Grand Forks county. will be glad to
assist any and all who wish help in
this work.
Remember, home grown seed corn
is best, so provide yourself with q
supply for the eason OF 1914. Select
more than o expect to use for your
own planting for the sale Of good seed
corn IL always brisk and the price re-
sn>eived more thar #enough Ito pay. for
all trouble in selecting and storing.
Corn as soon as picked should have
husks removed and then be placed
where 1t will not be in danger Of frost.
where 1t will dry quickly and thor
oughly.
Any building having good ventila-
ton and which can be closed in cold
snaps is all right. See to 1t that the
ears are placed SO that the air can
circulate freely. or in other words the
cars must not touch.
