PROPOSES PLAN TO USE
SOLDIERS ON THE FARMS

Webster, S. d.. May 21.-it would be
we'll for congress to authorize. either
under the present. law or IA new one. a
civil military army for food production
with at least one of the training camps
located in South Dakota. said Agrono-
mist A. N. Hume, of State college. at a
group meeting of the South Dakota
Bankers association in Webster, Fri
day. THE cruX of the present situa-
tion,'' said DIR. Hume. lis the mobiliza-
ton OF labor to the farm. The South
Dakota farmer has done his share in
putting in crops. Now get b to the
farms and the crops will come"
DIR. Hume urged that the enlistment
of such an army should go forward inn
mediately and that the training camps
should be established not alone for pur-
poses Of concentration, but also for
education both in military tactics M
in farming. Enlisted members of this
farm military training camp. located in
South Dakota, would receive the usual
soldiers wages while in camp. When
needed for farm labor they would be in
dividually excused or furloughed by the
proper officers, in which case they
would make their own bargains with
the farmers who wish to hire them both
as to time IN wages.

LABOR AGENTS
DuPE FARM WORKERS
Laborers Are Given Fictitious
Names Of Employers and
Shipped From Cities.

Huron, s. d.. May 1s.-One of the
bad features Of the labor and employ
ment situation in the rural districts is
that the men who are shipping out to
this state from Chicago and other mid
die west points are coming with the
idea that they can secure work inn
mediately at from $40 to $55 a. month,
md that no experience is necessary.
U~nscrupulous employment bureaus in
the larger cities give these men fictious
names OF farmers who, they are told,
will hire them. Besides being fooled.
the labor seekers have to pay for being
fooled. for the employment bureaus in
variably charge from 50 to IS for the
Information they give the men.

THE MOuNTAiNSlDE MONU-
MENT.

The largest monument in the world
will soon be taking shape under the
sculptors chisels on the broad face
of Stone Mountain, near Atlanta, Ga.
This rock face is 500 feet high and
1900 feet long. On this vast tablet
1t is planned to carve a memorial to
the Confederacy
This monument will surpass all the
gigantic monuments OF ancient times.
both in size and in methods. This
carving will be done with automatic
tools in the hands of the workmen.
The workers themselves will get down
the face of the cliff to their work by
800 feet OF plank steps. There they
will get into cars carried back and
forth before the design on trucks that
run on horizontal track. Eectri-
cally work hoists will lower these
cars of workmen down feet over the
work
The carving when completed will
consist OF an army of men and horses
moving over the side of the noun.
tain. Every horse and rider will have
to be 80 feet high in order to give the
desired effect Many of the indiyid
ual figures will represent important
men of the Contederacy.
Provision is being made for the
preservation of the work erosion by
top drainage that will prevent water
dripping down over the carved fig.
ures. As there are no severe frosts
In that section of the country there is
no danger from that soruce. The
lighting on the carved figuers is said
to be particularly good. The face OF
the cliff is half north and receives a
continuous top light because it is on
the crest Of the mountain
IT is a tremendously interesting un-
dertaking The sculptor in charge Is
Mr.. Gut2on Borglum. Under him will
be groups Of young artists every one
OF whom will be in charge of three or
four automatic carvers.
While this huge memorial will be
a user of joy and pride to Georgia
and the South particularly. the whole
country will rejoice in its possession
1t will be wonderful and beautiful
thing, in which man and nature have
worked together.

THE COBBLER AGAIN.

The humble cobbler's trade is said
to be picking up. AS a result of the
appalling disc in the price of shoes,
the shoemaker is coming into his own
again
He seemed to have been quite rout

year we have seen shoemanufactur

into the control Of great factories,
with machines doing the work of men
lndividualism is one of the oldest
trades almost disappeared. Shoes
were made to order only by few
specialists, who charged fancy prices.
There were still shoe-repair shops;
but they, too, were trustified and stan.
dardized, doing their work nearly all
by machinery
The cobbler was no longer an in.
dividual, character, a philosopher
as OF yore. He was a mechanical part
Of an embarrassing system There
were no cobblers.
But now they're coming back. Here
and there we find one, opening his lit
tie shop timidly around the corner
and making his modest appeal for
patronage be overwhelmed with
orders as soon as the neighborhood
learns Of his presence. He isn't ma.
tive, as rule. He's likely to be ltal
