LABOR SITUATION
GREATLY IMPROVED

Pierre. s. D.. Aug. 5.-The reports
from different sections of the state are
that he class Of men who are coming
to the harvest fields are different from
those OF the old days Of 1. w. w. mi
grations. That class is giving the
state q wide berth the past two years,
and harvest help is Of a class which
really wants to work. Some Of them
are coming in automobile parties, and
following the harvest by hat method
Instead of travelling on freight trains
and while there have been a few COM
plants Of local shortages, generally the
harvest is being gathered without any
loss on account of lack of men.
That all men do not look at the sit
uation with the same eyes, and some
Of the problems which the federal labor
administration has to meet is shown
In two letters received from WATERFOWL
IN h same mail. One coming from
w. A. Winfrey, the federal agent at
WATERFOWL. in which he states that
there is a shortage of men; the other
letter OF the same date from Col. Lee
Slower. OF the state council Of defense.
In which he says there is no shortage of
men and that the harvest in that sec
ton Is being gathered with the forces
on hand. leaving the question an open
one as to just how to move under the
circumstances.

SOUTH DAKOTA BOY

Sioux Falls, S. d., Aug. 7.-South
Dakota soldiers, in addition to dis
tinguishing themselves on the battle
front in France and Italy, also will
have a place in the American expedi-
tlonary army which is believed to be
forming for the occupation, with Jap
anese troops, of Siberia.
In connection with this q letter has
been received by the home folks from
Fritz p. Pike, a Union county boy,
VINO is a member of the Twenty-sev-
enth United States infantry, his COM
pany being stationed at present at
Manila, P. I. He writes in part:
I was intending to transfer, but
don't kno if 1 would better myself
any: They are talking real strong of
sending us to Russia. and if l trans
ferred and then they sent the Twen-
ty-seventh over there I'd feel like kick

well, this isn't such a bad ountry

we are drilling real hard out here, but
1t Is only for about two weeks more:
then we go back to about three or four
hours tn the forenoon and then the rest
of the time is ours"
Young Pike writes further that they
nave a a great deal of rifle shooting
and that he made a sharpshooter's
grade and is third high man in his
company in craftsmanship.

IRISH FARMERS ARE
WARNED OF POSITION
Standish o'Grady Asserts They
Are Insulting Their
Best Friends.

Dublin (by maiD.-1rish farmers
nave been the most backward Of ali
classes in regard to recruiting for the
army. Standish O'Grady. a distin-
gulshed Irish writer, the author of sew
eral Irish novels and historical works.
has issued a warning to them that. UNI
DER the land purchase acts. they hold
the!r lands by an act of the imperial
pafllament; that parliament has adj
vanced owe $500, 600, 900 for the pur-
chase of the land from the landlords,
has handed it over to thousands of
peasant proprietors and is collecting
from them h purchase money by am
nual installments, less in mount than
their old rents.
Mr.. O'Grady reminds the farmers
mat lin supporting an attempt to over
throw the authority of the Imperial
paiilament they are trying to over
throw the very power TO which they
owe their existence as proprietors and
which done can maintain them in Sc
cure ownership"
us it likely" he asks, that the i'm
perlal parliament, having it's hundreds
of thousands of discharged, brave. 10y
al soldiers to provide for, will leave
Ireland in the ownership of men, a
mere class, who in this deadly crisis, his
HE and death struggle, are proving
themselves foes of England. of Great
Britain, of the British empire-whicll
ought 10 be their ~Anglo-lriSh empire
n of their great allied nations? They
will not respect the brand new land
titles which they themselves have
made and car unmake.
With every day that passes tho
emper of England is rising. Let it rise
a little more and things Will happen"
The question of their future fortunes
as peasant proprietors has certainly
been exercising the minds of some
Irish farmers in a very different di-
rection from that indicated by Stand
fish OGrady. A leading Dublin lawyer
told the Associated Press representa-
tive that he had been demonstrating
with a local Sim Fein leader in the
country, an influential farmer, as to
his attitude towards the war. and ask
ing him what he supposed his position
would be if h Germans Won the war
and came to Ireland. The reply he got
was that if the Germans completely
overthrow the Brush government, the
Irish farmers would be no worse off
and might be better: there would no
longer be any legal authority to COL
lect the land instruments, the Germans
might remit them, and leave them the
land for nothing. The Sim Fein lead
ers in Dublin have no such delusions,
but it is asserted that followers of hi
type throughout the country have en-.
abled them to win elections.
