MANDAN WAG|NG VIGOROUS
CAMPAIGN FOR PLANT
Slope City Encouraged by Re
ports from Fargo Puts Forth
Renewed Efforts

Reports from Fargo yesterday that
the spectacular campaign which has
been waged the last week for the To-
cation of the Equity packing plant at
Mandan was telling and that the
Slope city would certainly be consid-
cred at the final meeting of the COM
mittee in the fall, has brought con-
siderable encouragement to the lead
ers in the movement and they are put
ting increased efforts into the fight.
Bismarck, through the commercial
club and other organizations, has
pledged its support and probably
some representatives from here will
60 with the Mandan committee to the
council meeting which will be held
in Valley City after harvest.
It had been planned to hold it last
Saturday, but Mandan's sensational
offers caused a postponement to give
more time for thorough considera.
tion. At the meeting of the commit
tee at Fargo no decision could be
reached because one man stood for
Minot, one for Fargo and one for Val
ley City. The deadlock gave the Man.
dan boosters the opportunity and
they embraced it. ~
The people, towns and cities of the
Slope country are back of the propo
sition with enthusiasm. The members
of the Equity living in this section
especially are waging vigorous cam
paign for the plants location here in
the cattle country.

being to get into touch with some
one in these localities who will take
the responsibility of informing this
department of their needs. ..-...-,
The opportune time to do this is
now so that the unemployed may be
saved the expense of going to these
localities where there is no ready
work for them, but rather to those
sections where thousands of bushels
of grain may be saved by being taken
care of at the proper time. If the
farmer will cooperate with the feder-
al agent now located at Bismarck, he
can possibly secure both his regular
and seasonal help as needed. This
department because of its co-opera-
ton with labor departments of other
states can study the problem and for
mulate the plans to get the worthy
laborer from those sections to some
location within this state. This will
no doubt work out in time as vastly
better than the present plan of going
to town and picking up labor from
the street corners.
% Those needing help should send
word direct to r. F. Flint of the state
department of agriculture, or T. l..
Stanley of the United States depart
ment of labor at Bismarck. Every ef-
fort will be made to fill demands in
all lines and the success Of the plan
will be facilitated by the hearty CO.
operation of the people of the entire
state by giving definite and specific
information at once.

London, July %, 1916.

AOuuOu, July a, 1olo.
Aug. 4, 1914, England entered the
great world-war.
You will read this article on Aug.
4, 1916, exactly two years later.
Two years Of the widest war dance
ever known, and now men can see
slowly emerging the grim shape of
the fiddler that will demand the pay
for all this red sport.
Before long he will be stretching
out his hand for his coin, and when
that time comes there will likely be
strange doings on this queer old earth,
believe me.
What rips things up more than war?
Why, what comes after war, and that
is what we are scheduled to find out.
Look at this for starter: 20
Here is workingman, average Of
his kind. You have heard nothing
about him since the dance began. Your
news has been all about rulers, poten-
tates, chancellors, prime ministers,
generals and that sort; armies ad-
vancing and retreating, digging in and
digging out; every day about a barrel
of it. But not a word about him, the
huge, overshadowing figure obscured
in the background.
How is that?
Yet he bears the whole thing in his
big, broad back. He digs up the hun.
dred million dollars day of war ex-
penses that the dancers are singing
around them. He will pay every cent
of the inconceivable debt that is be-
ing piled up, if it is ever paid at all.
He does most of the fighting. His
muscles and his will and the way the
thing seems to him will settle the re.
suit. He could make peace now if he
wished to. And with one sweep of his
big. hard fist he could push all the
rest into the sea-gold lace, many
medaled and hot-stuff commanders,
prime ministers and ally.
Everything in the I'D hangs on
him, for he is Is per cent of the game
and in some days IS. Yet nobody in
terviews him, talks about him, or re-
ports how he feels. .%r
All the time, no matter what the
rest may do or pretend, things are
preparing for him fit to amaze the
world and likely to turn it upside
down.
When the war started he was badly
paid, badly fed, badly clothed, badly
housed. He lived mainly in dirt, dark.
ness and squalor, and always without

AFTER TWO YEARS or MAD WAR DANCE,
NAN IN THE TRENCH IS ABOUT TO EMERGE
As BIG BOSS Of THE SITUATION!

hope. The world trampled over and
scorned him.
Today, in the army or out of it, he
is far better fed, better clothed, we'll
looked after, and become person of
nmportance-for the first time in his
life. Those that used to wipe their
feet on him pat him on the back, and
tell him he is a good fellow.
1t is new and wonderful-also, it
is portent.
In the army, he gets his pay, and
the English government every week
gives to his folks at home these stag
gering sums that are called separa-
ton allowances.
Out of the army, he gets wages he
never had dreamed of getting, double
and sometimes treble the best he had
ever known.
For the first time in his experience.
or his castles, he knows comfort and
the jingle of free coin in his trousers
pocket.
He makes retail business hum in
England, he crowds the theaters, liv'
ems up the streets, turns the old,
gloomy look of London into mirth,
and produces prosperity everywhere.
Times are flush on his account; life
for all persons, except those bowed
down by the finger Of death at work
in the trenches, is easy. AS for the
war, except for these throngs of men
in khaki, you would never guess here
there was war. You can't see an
other sign of it.
So far, all goes we'll with him, pro.
vided only he is not popped off, or
horribly MANNED, or maddened out
there at the front.
But when the war is over, take
note, 100000 of him will come home,
demanding jobs! '.N.
He will find more than a million
women filling mems jobs, filling them
mighty we'll and at less than half OF
mems wages.
About five million other men that
never went to the war at all will be
clinging to other jobs at high pay, and
resenting any attempt to reduce 1t or
to displace them.
A war debt so vast, so unprecedent-
ed and so appalling that men do not
dare to think of it and its conse-
quences, will cripple industry and eat
up incomes.
The cost of living has increased 60
per cent and can't be forced back all
the way, at least.
Men who have risked their lives in
great cause must have employment.
There are not nearly enough jobs to
60 around. 7bs
These are the bare facts. I will
explain them later-the soaring pric-
es and booming wages, the debt bur.
den and cost of the dance, even trying
to explain the careless face of Lon
don. But take only these bare facts.
It is evident, perfectly evident, that
things will have to be done to meet
this situation totally different from
any things ever done before-great,
new and very likely splendid things.
Armies, generals, cabinets, policies,
trenches. treaties, changes of the
maps-all are nothing, when compar-
ed with the changes this big, silent
fellow in the background promises to
make. Keep an eye on him.
He is the boss of the situation on
Aug. 4, 1861 soon will be.

STUDENTS NAY
RETURN HOME
President McVey Asks for Re-
lease of Guardsmen to Attend
School.

Grand Forks, Aug. 2.-1n COM
munication sent to Secretary of War
Baker, President F. l.. McVey, of The
University Of North Dakota, earnestly
requests that the militia boys now In
government service at the border, be
allowed to return to their respective
schools in the fall, provided there is
no actual fighting going on at that
time. .,....,,,... a.s..
While the president spoke for all
schools in general, showing what a
great loss to students would result
from their detention at the border, he
petitioned chiefly for the students
from this state, of whom there are at
present 48 in the federal service,
while Sc additional men have been
students in the various schools with
out graduating from them.
The president cited the great dis
advantage at which students would be
placed if they were detained at the
border for a month or two after the
opening of the fall terms. II at that
time there seems to be no indication
of further disturbances along the Dor
der, there is no legitimate reason why
the boys who desire to attend school
should not be allowed to do so, the
president maintains.
The war department undoubtedly
will consider the request of the presi-
dent seriously, although no answer to
his communication has as yet been re-
ceived. Should the men be allowed
to return for the opening of school,
there will be no little rejoicing in Uni
versity circles, as the men on the
squad would be badly missed in many
ways.

CONGRESSIONAL WOMEN
CONDUCTING CAMPAIGN

The North Dakota branch of the
Congressional Union is sending out
letters all over the state to people
who are endeavoring to secure the
ballot for the women of this country
in the near future, asking them to
make duplicate copies of the enclos-
ed letter, with the writer's names
signed, and mail them to leading poll
ticians, such as President Wilson,
Senator John w. Kern, leader of the
majority party in the senate, and to
Senator P. J. McCumber of this state.
The appeal is as follows:
Hon. Woodrow Wilson, the White
House, Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir: We, the citizens Of
North Dakota, call upon you to use
your influence to secure the backing
of the majority party in congress to
put through the federal amendment

fore this session of congress adjourns,
thereby submitting this vital question
to the legislatures Of the several

play to American women, saving them
years of labor and millions of dollars

GREAT SHORTAGE
Of HARVEST HANDS
Difficulty in Finding Men For
Farms Increasing
..@. Daily

Sentinel Butte wants fifty men fo1
the harvest field and Beach is also
in need of hands, according to word
received yesterday by T. L. Stanley,
federal labor agent, cooperating with
the state commissioner of agriculture
and labor. -,
Mr.. Stanley has issued the follow
ing statement regarding the plans OF
the department: -
The federal government, in cooper.
ating, with the state department of az
riculture and labor, finds difficult OBJ
stacles to overcome in it's attempt to
properly distribute help to the farm
ers during. the harvesting and thresh-
ing season. The principal trouble be-
ing the lack of definite information as
to the needs of each specific locality.
Good men are to be had through the
department but owing to the short
time that the federal agent has had
to secure definite places for these
men, the work will be handicapped
for the farmers unless definite infor-
nation Is sent in at once.
From the meager information at
hand there isi'a shortage of labor
within the state to take care of Che
harvest and threshing this season.
Along the main lines of railroads
there are large number of men,
which, when considered by the larg-
err towns where they congregate, in
dictate plenty of labor coming to the
state. But this is apparently not true
in the more rural sections. In sec
tons Of the state not supplied with
through lines Of railroads and where
the towns are smaller, there is a real
demand for help. The real difficulty
