HALF MILLION CARS
Are Needed to Move This
Years Wheat Crop in the
Northwest.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 21.-one
half million freight cars will be need
ed to handle the grain crop now rip
ening and being cut throughout the
northwest.
The railroads already have well I'M
der way the task of mobilizing the
idle cars and placing them at stra-
teglc points where they may be sent
with the least delay to the points
where they are most needed.
It is estimated the Great Northern
alone will use 1856, 900 cars. while the
Northern Pacific, the Milwaukee, the
500 line and the other roads tapping
the grain belt, will increase the num-
Der to what may prove a record fig
ure.
North Dakota will absorb large
proportion Of these cars since from
that state comes about forty-fiye per
cent of the northwestern output The
Red river valley of Minnesota, South
Dakota and Montana also will make
large demands on the railroads, ana
it i sexpected by railroad men that
with a few weeks practical yal1 the
rolling stock in the country will be

one thousand more teachers seeking

number of years. but last year and
perhaps the year before were engaged
in other pursuits more profitable. The
stringency of the times having made
these positions fewer and less profit
able in the last year. the teachers are
returning to their old profession.
The other half of the thousand ex-
ira teachers are believed to be per-
sons attracted to the profession large

les provided for at the last session OF
the legislature.

at this time of the year from boards
of education for number of teachers
to fill vacancies. but this year the de-
partment has received but two such
requests. and those we're for specially
