are striking savagely at the hinge of
the present German line of resistance,
and the progress already made is
thought by officers here to make it
certain that the German retirement,
both in Belgium and in France, will
have to be resumed without delay.
South of the new British wedge the
French are keeping continuous pres

derived from the latest British thrust,
officers said, certainly will not be over

the opposing forces.
More than ever officers are con-

LABOR BUREAU
CLOSES SEASON
NEARLY SIXTEEN HUNDRED
CALLS FILLED DURING SUM
MER-LOCAL LABOR CRISIS
AVERTED THROUGH EFFORTS
OF FARM BUREAU.
Cooperation of Bingham County
Farmers in Maintaining Wage
Scale Greatly Assists in Harvesting
the 1918 Crop, Says County Agent
Monroe.

The 1918 farm labor crisis in this
county is a thing of the past. The
impending labor shortage, which APP
peared so imminent this spring, and
which caused many of our farmers
to plan in crop only what they could
readily take care Of unassisted, fail
ed to materialize to any great ex-
tent, the reason being largely due to
the excellent work done by the Labor
Bureau established by the County
Farm Bureau.
Last Saturday the labor bureau
closed for the season and tally of
the call book showed that 1887 farm
labor calls had been answered. AT
the March meeting of the Board of
County Commissioners, the Commits
sioners, acting upon request of
the Count Farm Bureau, and the Civ
~ League of Blackfoot, set aside
$1,000 to be used in the installation
and maintenance of a labor bureau.
A record of the expenditures show
that less than $1,000 was used, max
ing the cost per call in the neighbour

farm bureau membership the easier
it is to secure cooperation with re-
gard to the wage scale and in hand
ling the farm labor on a community
basis. This year many of our COM
munities called for very little labor
simply because they had organized
to handle their local problems them
selves"
When asked concerning the wage
scale for next year, County Agent
Monroe stated that he had no in
formation on the subject but that the
proposition would be taken up this
winter by the State Farm Bureau.

PERSONALLY, consider the labor
bureau a success" stated County
agent Monroe to the Republican
Thursday evening. And a major
portion of our success was due to the
fact that the farmers Of the county,
especially the Farm Bureau men,
bers, stuck to the farm bureau wage
scale. l believe that the farmers OF
Bingham stood by the scale better
than any other county and the fact
that we had less trouble than any
other county goes to prove this. An
other thing the County Council OF
Defense and the Sheriff's office
stood ready at all times to assist us
in forcing the habitual lOafer and
agitator to work or move on.
eve know of farmers who. delib-
erately broke the wage scale and
they were the cause of the most OF
our trouble. However, they were
in the minority, SO far as numbers
ar concerned, and the major portion
of them did not belong to the farm
bureau and did not realize just what
the bureau was trying to do. ct the
few who knowingly and willfully
broke the scale l can only say that
I suppose we will always have such
farmers, men who are unwilling to
cooperate in order to meet and solve
a problem. Had the farmers as a
whole broken the scale the labor bu.
reau would have been unable to fill
a call.
Undoubtedly the bureau will han
die the labor situation again next
ear and this winter we expect to
dwell upon the coming labor prob
lem of 1919 in our farm bureau mem

per cent Of the farmers of the coun-
ty are members Of the bureau and
we must have a majority, at least
rs per cent, if we are to meet the
next years needs. The larger the
