NEED MANY MEN
10, 900 Woodsmen to be Employ.
ed this Winter.

1t us predicted by Duluth en-
|ployment agencies that 10000
woodsmen will be needed in the
woods of northern Minnesota this
fall and that their cut will be ap-
proximately 492,000,O00 feet of
lumber. Various predictions are
being made as to the wages. 1t is
said that they will range between
$50 and $45 because of the scarcity
of labor. Until the logging camps
open up generally no definite
statement can be made, regarding
wages or the extent of the pres
ent years output.
1t is the general impression that
the st. Croix LAUNDERING & Man.
l-facturing company at Winton
will complete it's work in this
country this winter. The COM
pany, it is said, has only about
100000 feet of timber left and
it is understood that orders have
been issued to bring in all the
boom sticks along with this sea-
son s cut of timber. Five camps
will be operated and about 700
men employed.
Swallow & Hopkins, who also
have their headquarters at Win
ton, will put in about 100000
feet Of timber for their sawmill
plant and besides will cut about
100000 feet Of mining timber
for the Oliver Iron Mining COM
pany. This company will have
eight camps and furnish employ

LABOR TIDE FLOWING

Organized Workers Of Michigan and

Enthusiastic offers of support con-

but thousands of wage-earners who

The latest Endorsement of President

RURAL CREDIT [AW
MAKES MONEY CHEAP
Former High-Interest Agencies
Rush to Reduce Rates to
the Farmers.
BIGGER LOANS At LESS COST
May Borrow Half Of Land Value
at Less Than Five Per Cent
Effect Already Being Felt
!! Strongly.

The effect of the new rural credit
law, passed by the Democratic Admin
1stration, already is being felt in lower
interest rates. although the land banks
have not yet been organized. Testi-
mony to this effect is being given at
the hearings held by the Federal Farm
Loan Board in various western cities.
AT the hearings in Nebraska, numer-
Gus farmers stated that interest rates
in the homesteading section of that
State already have been reduced from
one to two per cent. by the prospec-
tive competition of the thirty to forty
year loans that the land banks soon
will be making.
The average loan that an insurance
company or other loan agency would
make on a G4O-acre "Kinkaid' claim
was $1,000. The commission deducted
from this left the farmer $3.50. He
paid interest ut from S to 10 per cent.
for five years on $1,000, making his
average net interest rate from IL to
- per cent.
This now is stopped by the coming
competition of the new rural credits
law. Loan agents are rushing into
Nebraska to make five-year loans ut
lower rates, to forestall the operation
of the new law.
Lodge Protecting Banks.
This may account for the attack
made on the Democratic rural credit
measure by Senator Lodge, at Bever-
~, Mass, on Sept. %, when he stated
that money could he borrowed on bet
ter terms from regular agencies than
under the rural credit act.
Mr.. Lodge declares that this act will
endanger the present National and
cooperative banks and tend to break
them down, according to the report Of
his speech in the Boston Globe.
The farmers of the West, who have
suffered exorbitant interest rates for
years, are not worrying about the
banks. Their testimony before the
Farm Loan Board showed that they
are enthusiastic over the new law, and
ready to help put it in successful Op-
GRAFTON.
Benefits to Farmers.
The new farm loan act provides
means by which farmers can form CO.
operative or joint stock associations
and borrow from the regional Federal
Farm Loan Bank on the security of
their land. Ten farmers can form one
of these associations. They can bor-
row up to SO per cent. of the value of
their land, for period running up to
forty years.
The loan is repayable in small an
nual installments, or can be paid in
full at any time. The estimated in
terest rate is per cent. The farmer
who borrows will share in the profits
of the business, thereby reducing his
interest rate to a still lower figure.
The Democratic National Commit
tee has issued from it's headquarters,
at No. 30 East Forty-second street,
New York. a pamphlet for free distri-
button fully explaining the rural
credits law. 1t may he obtained from
your Democratic State or County
Committee.

Windsor (Canada) Finds That
''Dry' Ordinance Increases

Another bit Of evidence that prohi.

but rather an ally Of excess is found in
the following story OF increased drunk

taken from the Detroit (Mich) Free

Since the minimum nne for the of.

been increased from IS to SO since

this class of offense has increased In

From September II, the date of the
birth of a dry regime, to October 27,
So charges Of drunkenness were dis.
posed Of by Magistrate Leggatt,
against 80 cases during the Same
period OF last year, an increase OF 20
cases.
Judging from the number of flnes
paid by those charged with the Of
Tense, better class of men are now
taking to extreme drinking. Before

The only comment the police would
