Through Immigration Officer.

, governor to appoint as such times and

Without doubt one of the most i'm.
portant and beneficial measures intro
duced during the present session of
the legislature is the Hill bill relative
to bringing immigrants directly to
North Dakota, upon their arrival at
Ellis island, in order to relieve the an
nual shortage of labor from which the
state is now suffering. 1t is also "a
fact that very few people realize the
Importance Of this measure, and the
practical benefits which will accrue to
the state, drought its passage.
Regardless of party or faction, both
branches of the legislature should
unite in sending this bill through with
a rush. There is not a section of the
state which does not, every fall, lose
hundreds if not thousands of dollars
because of the inability to harvest the
crops which have been raised during
the summer months. Farm help is at
a premium, and in years like the last,
it is impossible to secure help at any
price.
Diversified farming, andethe cutting
UP of farms into small sections for
raising vegetables, poultry and dairy
ing, is out of the question under pres
ent conditions; sugar beet raising on
a large scale is out of the question, so
long as there is no plentitude Of cheap
help.
At it's sessions tomorrow and We'd
nesday, the Dairy association would
do we'll to take up this matter, me.
morializing the legislature as to the
practical benefits to be obtained from
systematic campaign for new set
tlers-not through the ordinary chan
nels of the middle eastern states,
where labor is almost as scarce as it
IS mere, but directly to the gateway of
foreign immigration, Ellis island,
where the best of the foreigners can
be selected, and sent directly to a
state where they will be cared for and
provided permanent employment at a
living wage. for themselves and their
families. ~

the contest for the 500 Line silver cup.

evenings program was one of the very
pleasant features. Valley City always
holds her own for musical entertain
ment, and the young womans chorus
held the large audience for more than
half an hour, and was repeatedly en-
cored.

the Farm" by A. j. r. Curtis, of the
Universal Portland Cement Company
was also thoroughly enjoyed.
Following this mornings program
at the Armory, the members of the
association adjourned to the rooms of
the Commercial Club, where nearly $50
people sat down to an excellent lunch
con prepored under the direction of
several Of the young women OF the
city. Members of the association
werecalled upon to address the men,
bers of the club and the visitors at the
close of the luncheon, and at least a
dozen short talks were given, most of
them dealing with practical truths re-
garding the dairying industry, with
good advice for the business men and
farmers of Barnes county.
