MANY MIGRATING FROM J. 5. ID
 CANADA
(By United Press)

ST PAUL, May 12. - With farmers and agricultural experts cooperating to raise the largest crops in the his tory of the great Northwest, a labor crisis which may defeat the carefully laid plans to increase production is developing serious proportions.
 So serious is the labor shortage that plans to furolugh hundreds of men who will be attending summer training camps at Fort Smelling and pour them into the harvest fields of the Northwest have been suggested
 Attention will be turned immedi- ately to stemming the tide of immi- grafton into Canada. Five hundred farm hands are crossing the line daily, it is estimated. The Canadian gov ernment has begun a systematic cam paign to attract American farmers and farm laborers to her vast fields left deserted by the call to arms. Homesteads are offered on easy con ditions. Men are given certificates promising they will not be called on for military service. Every promise of success and wealth is held out to them.
 This campaign is seriously objected to by the Northwest. It is held mimi cal to the interests of the United States and discourteous to an ally when the United States is facing a labor crisis.

FRANCE |S NOT IN FAVOR WOMAN
 SUFFRAGE

(Following the open declarations in the British house of commons for wo- man suffrage by Premier Lloyd George and ex-Premier Asquith, and a consequent revival of the eternal question in France, the United Press consulted one of the best authorities on internal politics in Paris, who ex- presses his convictions in the follow ing interview.)
 (By United Press)
 PARIS, April 10. - (By Mail) - Whether British women smash all English tradition and vote after the war or not. France can never follow England's example.
 Votes for women is, and must re- main, a dead letter in France.
 "The subject is as complicated as it is simple" the United Press inform ant declared. "The simplicity lies in the fact that France is vastly Catholic Of the countrys 3s,OOO,OOO inhabitants only one million are protestants and 150,000 are Jews. This leaves about thirty-six and three-quarter millions of people under direct or indirect influ. ence of the Catholic church.
 "The republican government of France is neither clerical nor anti clerical. But clerical influence - the influence once so all powerful in France - today takes practically no recognized part in the making of the French laws and the direction of pub lie affairs This situation dates from the very beginning of the present form of government, when the government said to the church, we will give you freedom and independence, but never occupy yourselves with political ques- tions.' That was long time ago But today the clericals have a strong de- sire to have political influence. Their preponderating sentiment is in favor of woman suffrage.
 French workers, as a rule, are thinkers and men of advanced ideas. But French women the ordinary everyday women do not think with their husbands. They are closely al lied with the church. Thus to literally throw the vote to the average woman of France would be to reconstitute the political power of the church and so weaken the foundations of representa- tive government.
 France long ago separated the church from the state. It is not pro bable, therefore. that the law making

 Enclosed find copy of a Fourth of July poster. Please get this up on good big posters and in your best style.

Break away from the crowded haunts of teeming activity and bust into a real good time for once in your lives. 7"

BALL CAME WILL
 BEATTRACT|ON /; TOMORROW

There will be something doing every minute on the ball field tomorrow af- ternoon, when the Saturn boys cross bats with the Cordova club. Ashes are today being hauled on the diamond and it will be put in as good condition as possible for tomorrows contest.
 The following will be the lineup of the Saturn team: J. Reyes, first base ; T. Beiler, shortstop; P. Adams, left field; F. Christy, second base: L. Frif- fiths, third base; G. Cole, right field; J. Byers, center field; J. Quinn, pit cher; Nathan Clark catcher.
 Captain Ripley has an all-star club, but the individual players have not as yet been placed. There are four good pitchers, and they will all be given a tryout. Lon Ontai, the Chinese won der, will be there, and Ed Harwood, Truckee and Eddy will also occupy the pitchers box
 It is the intention of the committee to place piano on the ball field so that third baseman Griffiths can en- certain the audience with some of his well known ragtime. Pitcher Quinn, of the Saturn team was in the custody of chiropractic all last evening, and we are assured that he will deliver all the round house curves known to nature and the ball fans. While Cor dova wishes it understood that all friendship ceases when this battle royal is in progress, we feel that our lineup will give good account of themselves.

assemblies will again come under the dominating influence of single poli- tical party, and least of all q clerical party. This is the complicity and sim plicity of the woman suffrage question in France. The question is not the same with England. There it is a clear cut, uncomplicated issue, and the words of England's progressive prem fer seem to indicate that British suf- fragists will win their long fought for cause without much fuss soon after the war"
