EFFORTS UNITE
TO SAVECR0PS
nlTHISCOuNIY
Heavy Demand Will be
Made Upon Labor For
Threshing Season.

The nice weather Of the past few
days is causing the first real shortage
of labor to Grand Forks county
, farms. Other communities have suf-
fered more or less in not having suf-
ficient help but with the three or four
hundred men who have gone out
from this city to work in harvest and
threshing, the situation has been
pretty we'll cared for to date. Now,
| there Is a shortage Of men and an
effort is being made through the fed
eral labor bureau and the commit
tee OF the Commercial club, headed
by G.. L. Ireland, to assist in every
possible way IN getting workmen up
on the farms.
The saving of the crop is the first
consideration. if necessary, business
in town must be suspended to save
the grain. but this will be used only
as last resort. The need just now is
definite information upon the situa-
ton. Every farmer or thresherman
needing help is requested to list his
needs with full information as to
ton Of farm or machine, wages paid,
ETC., with the United States employ
| ment service office in the Bacon
Block. No, II North Fourth street.
then every effort will be made by the
United States officials and the local
committee to supply such places with
men.
1t is important that the labor Office
he kept informed as to needs, and all
orders left may be cancelled If de-
sired. but any person leaving orders
uncancelled must take the men sent
to them or pay any expense incurred
in sending men out that are not need
ed. City men will go only to nearby
rigs. Men must not place orders for
more men than are needed as the
available man supply is already SO
low in the city that every man that
goes from now on is leaving some
important work. BY close co-opera-
tion of farmer, business man, thresh-
er and labor, it is hoped that all ma
chimes can be kept running with full
crews,

''OPElg HOUSE
ENJOYED BY Y
BOYS OF CITY
Truck Ride is Enjoyed All
Taken to Y. N. G. "A.
and Feasted.

The rich and poor. big and little
boys were represented in the big
time" given this afternoon by the
Y. NJ. c. A. officials to the boys Of
both cities. The fun began at 4
O'Clock. About ten trucks had been
donated for their use by the various
business establishments Of both cit
les. Prot. E: A. Moses Of the Grand
Forks Municipal band provided
buglers for each truck.
The plan was for each truck to
gather as many Of the boys of the
city as it could hold. About 800 boys
took advantage Of the ride. and as the
trucks paraded through the principal
streets Of the city, they were
crowded. 80
After a long ride around both East
Grand Forks and this city the party
proceeded to the Y. NJ G. A. where
the building was thrown open and
the boys were told to make them
selves at home" This they surely
did and it was not long before the
swimming pool, gymnasium, reading
room, billiard hall and Boy Scout
room rang with the merry shouts Of
the lads.
After an hours fun the boys made
their way to the shower room and
after a warm Shower bath" were in
vited to the club room where the
woman's auxiliary of the Y. NJ. c. A.
served a light lunch. 4
The main idea of today's arrange
ments was to gather in all the boys
and at one time show all the advan-
tages and opportunities that the. Off
GERS are giving them in making the
Y. M. G. A. community affair in
stead of limited organization. From
now on all boys of all sects and be-
liefs between the ages Of 10 and IS
are invited to the "Y," where they
will not want for amusement and en-
tertainment.

FARM. A]B[ORER] !
SHORT AGE DUE
TO Low WAGES
Experts Say North Dakota's
Inducements Have Been
Unsatisfactory.
Situation Has Improved Ma
I terially During Past Two
Weeks, They Add.

T. G. Miller of Kansas City, exam
liner Of the u: s. employment service,
and L. H. Patten. federal director Of
the u s. employment service for
North Dakota, while In the city yes
terday said that the great shortage Of
men in North Dakota had been due
to the fact that. farmers. until two
weeks go. would not pay the wage
offered in surrounding states.
II have followed the harvest up
from Oklahoma" said Mr.. Miller"
and up to the North Dakota line men
were paid As to SO cents an hour. and
there was no shortage of men. In
North Dakota there is a shortage of
200 men today, because at the out
set farmers of the state would not
pay the wages of the rest. Men would
not leave common labor jobs in the
city paying As and so cents per hour
to come to the harvest fields for less.
I understand that the wages here now
are IS and over and men are coming
daily to the state for the rest of the
threshing season.
Mr.. Patten while here said that
North Dakota's quota of 1900 men
for war industries was to have been
supplied before Sept. 1. but due to
the shortage Of labor, they will not be
called until after threshing has been
completed.
That there is a Shortage is shown
BY the fact that the U. S. employment
once here has orders now for over
500 men. Yesterday calls were made
for about 100. which has been the
same for the past several days. Yes

PASSING FLAGS
DEMAND SALUTE
Visitors in City Complain Of
Citizens Attitude To-
ward Old Glory.

When Grand Forks county men
paraded the street this morning on
their way to Camp Lewis, two large
American flags were carried in the
procession, one by a Home Guard de-
tachment and another by one of the
men about to leave. 1t was noticed
that the passing flags were at no
place greeted. or in any way saluted
by people in the streets.
This seeming lack Of respect for
the flag was evident also last night
when citizens led by the Home
Guards and the Municipal band,
marched through the street, to greet
the Casstcounty men, and one OF the
results is the following comrnunica-
ton received from visitor stopping
at the Hotel Dacotah:

sentiment similar to that existing ir
