Help to State. :

Bismarck. N. D., May 2S.-The
farm labor situation in North Dakota
this spring is the best in the history
of the state, thanks to the co-opera-
ton of the federal tabor bureau,
headed by U. s. Farm Help Specialist
John. B.. Brown. stated Commissioners
sSof Agriculture Hagan in a report to
the North Dakota Council Of Defense
today. The long season and the fact
that individual farmers for financial
reasons have been unable to employ
as many men as in former years has
2htlped,j said Mr.. Hagan. He stated
that to date not a single application
for help has come l n which coMld not

urged that the council of defense I'M

the organization of such a reserve In
each county, membership to be volun-
tary, and the matter of wages to be
left to each locality and individual.
He suggested that the coNncil, in this
organization, avail itself of the CO.

Eleven Home Guard
Companies Enlist
Under State Rules

Bismarck, N. D., May 23.-Eleven
home guard companies already have.
enlisted in the North Dakota home
guards under the new rules recently,
promulgated by the adjutant general,
and 80 others are now planning to
in, reported General Fraser to
the North Dakota Council of Defense.
In many instances home guards com
panies now organized will join the.
state guard with a new personnel. as
many business men who Joined the
guard under the old organization do
not care to become a part of q state
force which is subject to call at any
time. General Fraser expressed the
hope that o more than 80 or 40
companies would come in, as that
number, he stated, would be ample to
provide all necessary protection, while
1t would not be such a complicated
organization to handle as would a home
guard with 100 companies-the num-
Der OF units which he officially recog-
nizes as now organized or in process
of organization. The adjutant general
expressed the opinion tina the mill
tary department and the governor
could work out the home guard prob
lem without assistancefrom the coun-
Gil of defense, and declared his belief
that no difficulties will be encountered
when the home guard units become
familiar with what the state laws re-
Quire of them.

North Dakota Council of Defense yes

act which is based upon the New York
statute n is similar to laws of~this
nature now in effect in Montana and
other states. Under this act, an emer-
gency war measure, no able-bodied
male between the ages of Is and SO
may remain in North Dakota without
devoting at least 81 hours. each week
to legitimate and productive labor.
This applies to the millionaire as we'll
as the hobo. The act gives the council
authority to compel to work those
who can work and won't work, and it
is a very effective cure, the council
believes, for the vagrancy problem. 1t
is especially aimed at the town loafer
and the habitue Of pool halls, and
most particularly at the young spring
sprig whoNlives at home and spends
his days in idleness down town. The
act, like, all emergency war measures
passed by the state council, takes i'm
mediate effect. Assistant Attorney
General H.. A.. Bronson revised the
New York statute to make-i it more
applicable to North Dakota's needs.
