Chicago, Sept. 6.-With the major
league season ended, sports are be-

Football is now attracting interest.
Practice will be started in the big
Ten" on Sept. Is, and regular sched-
ules will be maintained as in former

will receive military training along
with the scholastic studies.
AS to the success of the game this
fall, experts will not hazard a guess,
although the coaches think the sport
will thrive. The class" of the game
will, of course, have. to- be discovered
in actual play. There promises to be
an abundance of green material from
which the coaches must build their

SAVE STRAW,
Is MESSAGE
TO FARMERS
Crop Sure to Be Valuable
As Feed, Warning Of
Experts

Farmers of North Dakota should
not burn any Of this falls straw.
In addition to providing feed , for
cattle this fall and winter, it may
be worth as much as good hay if the
crop is below average next year.
-@Straw is much too valuable this
fall to be burned, and 1 don't be-
lieye many farmers are burning it,"
said w. b. Richards, Cass county
farm agent, today. Some last years
straw is being burned, but only to
make room for this years stacks.
and, besides there might be a
light crop next year, and as a result
little straw What was saved this
year then will be worth as much as
hay"
Mr.. Richards added that 1t was
not unlikely that farmers and cat
tie raisers in the western half Of the
state would need the surplus straw
of the eastern half of. the state be-
fore winter was over.
Save 1t, Says Lamb.
Il think that our farmers would
consider it a patriotic duty to help
out their brothers in the western
half of the state by giving them
their surplus straw, or selling it to
them at minimum price so they
could afford to press and ship it
where needed, instead of burning
much Of it as they did last year. -
writes J.. P. Lamb, Michigan, prom
inent Nelson county farmer and
banker. ut is certainly a crime to
burn straw at this time. We have
a good grade of bright straw this
wear, which will make splendid feed
If properly cared for.
People in the western part OF the
state are already commencing to
ship out young stock as they have
no feed to keep them over winter
and there will. be q. large percentage
Of the stock shipped unless provis-.
ion is made whereby they can get
feed at reasonable prices" r-.

LABOR OF. CITY
FOLKS Is WORTH
5000 FULL TINE.
MEN TO FARMERS.
Reserve System Proves
Crop Saver, Declares
State Director

North Dakota city folks. who have
gone into the grain fields of the
state this year as shockers and
threshers, have accomplished the
work that at least 5000 additional
full time farm laborers would have
been required to handle, according
to Lindley H. Patten. director in
charge of North Dakota for the
United States employment service.
Mr.. Patten. announcing today that
the state bureau had placed 5000
men during the month of August on
farm work called attention to the
fact that there was g. daily average
shortage of men in North Dakota
Of 5000, and he points to the fact
that the farm work. has been done
as indicative Of the amount Of labor
handled by city volunteers.
THE city labor reserve has work
ed out to splendid advantage, said
Mr.. Patten today. 1.-The crop has
been harvested, and the farmers of
the southern part Of the, state are
cleaning UP their threshing very
rapidly. AS the work in the south
half of the state is taken care of,
the -laborers will gradually move to
the northern part of the state, where
threshing is somewhat later.
This year there are more tflresh-
ing machines in the state than ever
before. 1t was supposed that the
greater number of machines, man
ned by smaller crews, would simph
fy the labor problem, but all owners
OF machines apparently wanted full
crews. with the result that the de-
mand for men has been heavier than
usual. CE
with the fixed price of wheat,
the farmers are anxious to get their
wheat, threshed, and get at theft fall
blowing, some Of which already has
been commenced. There Is no object
in holding grain, and it will go onto
the market almost Immediately af-
ter it is threshed
