Dor Director Says

Calls for 500 more men than are
available are on the boards in the
seven government free labor
agencies in North Dakota today, &C.
cording to an announcement this
afternoon by L. H. Patten, Fargo
federal state labor director.
One hundred and seventy-five of
! these calls are on the board in the
Fargo Office.
- The farm labor situation in North
Dakota rs critical" Mr.. Patten SAID.
To-day 500 calls are untitled, and
next week will see calls for 1000 to
5000 more men. The government
offices arc sending out men as fast
as they can secure them, but the de-
mand in the past week has greatly
exceeded the supply" =.
The prevailing daily wage for
harvest is $3.50, Mr.. Patten added
Reports of labor shortages are COM
ing from all sections Of The state,
Mr.. Patten added, ana only today
1000 to 1900 outside men to han
die the crop.
Men are coming into the state
from South Dakota and Montana in
considerable numbers he sold, but
are scattering, and thus relieving the
shortage in no particular section.
The big crop in the Red river VAL
ley will require many hundred men
to handle"
Mr.. Patten today awaits govern
men& sanction to recruit and adver-
tise for men in other states, and to
call into service the labor reserve,
which, he believes, will relieve the
situation to a considerable degree.

Human Lincoln To Be

thrill you because: 1t portrays a
human Lincoln. Heretofore, the
Lincolns Of both the spoken drama
and the newer and broader drama Of
the screen have been mere historical
figureheads. Says Thomas A. Edison:
I'm The Crisis: we have the titanic
figure of Lincoln, his actions, his

so true to life that it recalls to my
mind the Great Emancipator as 1

A delicate and beautiful romance,

play follows closely the novel, which
has had great popular success, and
has now taken it's place among the
classics Of American fiction.

Eagle" Boats
rRv Associated Press.)

Washington, July 2O.-Italy is to
use the new American type of sub
marine chasers, the Eagle boats
in it's campaign of attrition against
the Austrian fleet in the Adriattc sea
Announcement was made today
that the italian government has
completed negotiations for taking
over from the navy department, a
contract for IL Of the vessels to be
built by the Ford Manufacturing
company of Detroit, and Italian Of
ficers said they regarded this as
only the forerunner Of orders for a
large number of the craft.
The Eagle" boats have been de
scribed as a "cross between" the
American torpedo boat destroyer
and submarine chaser, and are
about 200 feet long, built Of steel,
and Of fast speed. Because of the
shallow waters in the harbors on the
Adrtatic, the ships are expected to
prove especially valuable to Italy,
aside from their worth as submarine
chasers.
Italian officers would not say
when deliveries would begin other
than that it would be very SOON.

was reviving a medieval tradition.
declared Councillor Gent, who
moved the resolution. 1t was for
merry the custom to confer honor
airy citizenship of the city upon
those who had rendered distin-

pointed out that at the time OF the
French revolution the title had
been conferred on British, Italian.
and American personages.
But what the president will
particularly appreciate" said Mr..
Gent, is that one of those to
whom Paris paid the same tribute
that it is today paying him was the
great George Washington.
"The thought that moved me to
make this proposal arose from a
desire to pay a tribute of gratitude
and admiration to the great states
