Farm Labor Supply

State Farm Help Specialist A. D. McNair of Little Rock fore sees a shortage in farm labor and has issued circular letter on that subject, which will be of benefit to farmers and farm la borers. He says:
 The European war has caused a shortage of farm labor and this condition will be worse when the effect of conscription is fully felt. It becomes necessary, therefore, for every one to take stock of the amount of labor required and the amount available. The Unit ed States Department of Agri culture and the several States are now in process of solving this problem and are trying to bring farmer and laborer to- gether.
 The plan proposed by the State Council of Agriculture at Little Rock is to have farmers who want help and laborers who want

 In 58 per cent of the territory Of the United States, colonial and lnsular, women are exercising full suffrage or have been grant ed the right to vote for Presiden- tlal electors, and still the Nation seems to be moving along pretty well, thank you. In the remain Ing AZ per cent,-seven States will vote on equal suffrage within the next two years. Some of these Will undoubtedly set their women free. Thus does liberty grow!

ANALYZED

Full returns of the military registration for Woodruff coun- ty, published last week exclu- sively in The Home News, when analysed, furnish much encour- agement to all good citizens and forever give the lie to the very few croakers who predicted that American youth would not rally to fight for their country.
 In Woodruff county the total registration was 1894. The War Departments estimate for the county is ZOOS. Thus the county is only eleven men short of the required number. More than this number failed to regis ter for want of definite informa- tion and reasons other than cow ardice or disloyalty. These will be given another chance. The "slackers, " if we have any, will be rounded up and forced to reg ister or go to jail. This latter class alone will be considered "conscripts. In the county the negroes proved their loyalty by registering a few more than the whites and claiming exemption in about the same proportion as did their white neighbors.
 The State at large registered 146, 856. The estimate for the State is 158, 900, or about II, ,OOO more than the registration.
 The registration in the entire Nation was about 10000, 900, with just about one-half claim ing exemption from service for any and all reasons. This means that five million men between 21 and 31 have volunteered. for the waiving of their claim for ex- emption proves conclusively their willingness to defend the flag. Even should all claiming exemp- tion receive it, the first draft of half a million men will require one in ten of these volunteers, leaving a reserve force of four. and a half million men.
 This is better showing than was expected and a bitter pill for our enemies to swallow.

MANY WANT EXTRA SESSION

Milbsnk Review: There is much
talk Of an session Of the legis-
iatnre being called to pass legislation
made necessary BY the war. and petit
tons are being circulated in various
parts of the state which either have
already or soon will be presented to
Governor Norbeck asking that a spec
ial session be called. Personally, we
can't see the crying need for any such
action at present and we do not be-
lieve the mere fact that the militia
has been called out of the state makes
this necessary in a peaceful, law-abid-
ing commonwealth like South Dakota.
Most Of the members of the legisla-
ture are farmers and right now we
believe they a do a greater service
to themselves and to the state at
home and at less expense.

FIXING WHEAT PRICES

Omaha World Herald; There is
sreat interest among the farmers
concerning the fixing Of the price of
wheat and they want to know how it
10 70 be- done. Under the old system
the price was fixed By the grain ex-
changes. and the price on the ex-
changes was often affected by artifi-
cial influences, such as reports of i'm.
mense crops, the shortage of crops,
the lack Of cars, cornering, bucket
shop speculation and things of that
sort which had nothing to do with
supply and demand. Under the new
system. it is said that none of those
things will have any influence on the
cost Of production with allowances
for reasonable profits to the grower,
reasonable cost to the carrier, reason
able storage charges and reasonable
profits to those who handle and sell
the wheat. 1t fs. expected to accom-.
plish this through the voluntary as
sistance Of all those engaged In the
grain trade, but II is announced that
IL C~o.operation is refused, the govern
mont will buy the whole wheat crop.
Il 10 thought that the threat that the
government will take control Of all
the wheat produced, along with the
known fact that it has the power and
moneysto do II, will make the specn
lators be good. It'll said that the
elimination Of from so to 100 per: cent
Of artificial charges will give to the
farmer 8 higher price for his wheat,
and to the consumer cheaper bread.

the hearty approval of thousands of

provide that the ratlons of the army,

TRY, RELIEVED FROM MOS
cow DUTY

Sergeant Seig and his IL comrades,
members of Company E, 163d regi-
ment, U. S. infantry, shook the dust
of Moscow from their brogans this
morning and departed for Helena.
They joined their comrades of Lewis
ton here as they passed through in
command of Captain William P.
Morse. Nothing definite was given out
as to the ultimate destination of these
young soldiers recently mustered in
to the regular army from the National
Guard, but the impression prevails that
they will go to Camp Greene in North
Carolina to prepare for France.
Sergeant Seig and his squad had
been on guard at the l. w. w. deten-
tion camp at the county fair grounds
since midsummer and conducted
themselves in way to win the COM
mendation of the whole community.
They took an active part in every pa
riotic demonstration and were alert
at all times to maintain good order at
the camp Before leaving Sergeant
Seig and his men expressed them
selves highly pleased with their treat
ment in Moscow.
