A FLAG STATION

A party Of engineers were tracing
a township line across some farm
lands in Illinois. As chance would
have it, the line passed directly
through a large barn having double
doors on each side Of it, and they
found they could continue their meas
urements through the barn by open
ing the doors and thus avoiding the
dreaded detour. The owner watched
their progress with considerable inter-
est, but made no comment until they
had reached the farther side of the
barn, when he asked:
"Thet a railroad ye-all surveyin'
fer?"
Certainly" replied the chief with
a humorous twinkle in his eye.
The farmer meditated a bit as he
closed the barn doors behind them,
when he remarked, somewhat aggrest
sively, 81 hain't got no objections ter
havin' er railroad on my farm, but
I'll be darned eff I'm goin' ter git up
at all hours Of the night ter open and
shet them doors for yer train ter go

WAGES OF FARM HANDS

Farm labor receives better wages in
the Pacific coast and Rocky mountain
states than in any other part of the
Union, according to a compilation Of
wages by the United States depart
ment Of agriculture. On an average,
farm hands in the far western states,
receive 80 to 40 per cent more than do
farm hands the country over, and
nearly double the wages paid on the
Atlantic coast.
The average monthly wage, of farm
labor throughout the United States
during 1915 was $2l.26 per month,
where board was furnished and
$30.15 without board. The average in
the far west was $3.50 with board
and $48.31 without.
Likewise, the per diem of farm lab
or at harvest time throughout the en-
tire country was $1.56 with board and
$1.92 without, while in the Rocky
mountain and Pacific coast states it
was $203 with board and $2.52 with
out board. The per diem pay of farm
hands at other than harvest season,

NASHUA ITEMS

From The Independent:
Frank Dernback and "Slim" Blakes-
ley crossed the Missouri river on the
ice on Friday last, waded the Missouri
flats and "hoofed it" into Nashua, in
tending to go home the following day.
They are still here however, and may
remain for some time, if the present
warm weather continues, as Missouri
bank is running full.
Farmers living north of Sargent
creek, on the reservation, have" been
unable to get to town the past week.
Sargent creek is bank full of water
and it is impossible TO get across with
any. vehicle. That country has a
good drainage system however, as
soon asrthe, snow gives way, the wat
er will leave with a rush. .
William Werner and Clarence Dahl
who have choice homesteads on the
reseryation,: arrived in Nashua early
Monday morning from Cooperstown,
N. Oak, with an immigrant car con-
tanning livestock and necessary farm
implements. Messrs. Werner and
Dahl intend to make Montana their
home and will engage in active farm
ing.
Nashua will open the ball season
of 1916 at Glasgow, with the team of
that city, on May ID. Already the
Glasgowites are making preparations
for the big event. Our little city
ought to have winning team this
season, but we will be satisfied, how
ever, if we can get away with the
first game of the big series to follow.
Saturday Of last week the city Of
Nashua presented real metropoli-
tan appearance. The streets were
lined with teams and the stores were
filled with purchasers. All the farm
ers expressed themselves as we'll
pleased with the outlook for big
crop this season. Reservation farm
ers intend to break and put into crop
as much land as possible this spring.
A good big crop throughout the Nash
ua country this fall will put our land
in a class by itself.
Locator Miller, of Glasgow, came
down to Nashua early Tuesday morn
ing with a party of landseekers in
tending to go 25 miles out on to the
reservation. In accordance with his
plans he procured four horse team
and buggy and started Reaching the
Porcupine bridge, just north of town,
he altered his plans somewhat and re-
turned to Nashua. To attempt to look
for land on the reservation at present
is fruitless, as every coulee and de-
preston is full of water.
