ALL DISSATISFIED
Wherever We Are, We Want to Be
Somewhere Else.

Wherever we are in this world we
want to be somewhere else. I have a
letter from a country boy who wants
to live in the city, where things are
doing" I know his present setting; a
place where the needs and comforts
Of man are supplied with the slightest
effort. His placid, sun-baked village,
in its parklike setting, glimpses the
idealist's vision Of the perfect life in
perfect peace. All this seems to have
palled on the taste of the young man
and he yearns for the contentious
busy and dirty city.
We all have visions of the peace and
contentment of the country; the scent
of the woods, the song of the birds,
the drone of the bees, the roses, the
grateful greenery, and maybe a cow
bell tinkling somewhere. We have
sensed this all, perhaps, n vacation
time and thought it wa paradise for
two or three days, after which we be-
gan to get homesick for the city noise
n trouble. This is the goal men
ance, quietude-body and mind at rest
in natures setting-yet here is a boy,
reared in this elysium, who wants to
get away from it and come to the
noise and dirt and selfshness of the
big city.
Probably the Utopia to which sc
many of us aspire would not be en-
tirely satisfactory if we possessed it.
The quietude Of a country place or a
country town is often very dull. There
are no daily sensations, no scandals
no banner heads in the daily newspa-
pers to interest one.
The high spot in the day is when
you go down to the postof1ice for the
mail, or barter with the country
store for Goldfish and matches. The
weather is the leading topic of on
versation; there are no very rich OF
very poor persons in the community;
the population is, perhaps, at a col
orless dead level Of mediocrity; there
are no millionaires to Haunt their
wealth, no liveried coachmen, no
fairs" no aristocracy or proletariat.
The rural conditions are what the
idealists seem to be driving at, YET
here is a boy willing to give it all up
for the city. Is it possible that ease
and contentment pail on the taste, and
that man is better satisfied when he
is meeting some discomfort and dis
couragement in the battle of life?-
Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

LABOR MEETING
WELL ATTENDED

4 large crowd attended the labor
meeting held in the city hall last nlgnt
for the purpose Of listing n iapor

County Agent Rex Willard outlinea
the situation, pointing out that no
matter where the labor came 1roln:
the crop must be harvested. He tolo
of his trips in the country, speaking
enthusiastically Of the outcome. ne
said thai he had been trying TO get an
idea Of the number OF men neeoeo ioI
the county in a general way ana salo
that he has reports in from most OF
the agents, who are located in each
township.
AS usual, he stated, North Dakota
will depend on the outside for the
bulk Of the men for harvesting ana
threshing, and that the men who are
listed under this committee will pc
called only if the crop is in danger.
r. ]. Taylor, of the Federal En-
ployment agency, in a short address,
agreed with the statements of Mr..
| Willard, and spoke of the necessity
of having the crop harvested, whether
the help came from the outside Or
from local sources. He pointed out
that in some sections of the western
emu OIL 'tue SIdIc duu al PoASo VI SoA
! ada, where the crop is light in spots,
that the. men would come to places
where a good crop is anticipated, to
help during the harvest months. He
stated that many have already writ
ten about conditions here, prior to
coming to this section for work. He
said that in all probability enough Ia
Dor would come in from the outside
to take care of the work, but urged
the local organization, as a means to
fall back upon in case outside labor
should fail.
Following Mr.. Taylor's speech, a
general discussion was held, in which
J. G. Haney and Tracy Bangs took
a part.
Cards were distributed to employ
ers at the meeting, asking them to list
the number Of men whom they en-
ployed who would be available in case
Of necessity.
The point brought out during the
meeting was that enough labor will
probably come to the state, out that an
organization should be formed to in
sure the harvesting Of the crop.
G. L. Ireland was appointed the
chairman Of a committee of five, of
which he is to name the other mem-
bers, who will have charge of tho
canvass in the city. ..

the French positions and all the re-

mans must have been exceedingly
heavy.
The main attack to the east of
Rheims continued up to seven o'clock
last night. The fighting was extreme
ly severe in the vicinity of Souain and
Prunay, where the Germans. cap
tured a wood south of the village.
This, however, was an exception, the
German attack elsewhere being re-
pulsed with heavy losses. The French
line of resistance remains practically
intact everywhere. y.

July 16.-The defense by both the
French and the American troops was
magnificent and a number Of vigorous
counter attacks marked the fighting.
A German carrier pigeon that was
captured bore a message saying:
THE fighting for the passage of the
Marine is worse than an inferno"
1t was here that the Americans and
French constantly counter attacked
with gallantry, succeeding in driving
at least some of the Germans back
across the river, while others were
drowned in endeavoring to escape.
Among the units which attacked the
allied lines on the front southwest of
Rheims were several of the famous
guards division, and these advanced in
such overwhelming numbers that the
allies, although fighting with the ut
tenacity and courage, were
forced back slightly in the vicinity of
Marfaux, Cuchery and Bouilly. The
Italians fought shoulder to shoulder
with the French on this front. The
line bent a little here but it did not
break.

Hun Surprise Party Fails.

All news from the battle front indi-
Gates that the element of surprise, a
favorite German weapon. was a total
failure Monday. The newspaper
points out the importance Of the at
tack.
The French military chiefs, says
Maurice Barres, in the Echo de Paris
foresaw with wonderful approxima-
ton the date and locality of the Ger
man effort and General Foch made all
dispositions sc that the attack was
begun under conditions favorable to
the Allies. The Matin declares that
the French command was informed
perfectly Of the German preparation
and knew on Sunday morning that the
German troops had begun to use their
reserve food supplies. This enabled
the French artillery to deliver an in
tense fire against the Germans with
the result of the attackers being bad
ly battered.
