The dress rehearsal held yesterday
convinced those who were privileged
to attend it. that a rare treat is in
store for the public8at the perform
ances this evening and tomorrow
night.
1t is generally recognized that all
attempts to encourage dramatic ac.
'tivity growing in "home soil should
.paratively narrow circle of con
roisseurs. but also Ivy the public at
large because such attempts reflect
accuratcly-as wei, as p~icturesqucly
the trend Of life rs it was and is.
The Dakota sPlaynlakers have revert
ed to subjects Of Dakota life and
time and again. and the re-
suits produced warrant the continued
interest of the public.
That this interest will be material
ly stimulated after the presentation
of the April program of the Dakota
Playn1akers. ! was the impression OF
those who attended the final rehear-
sal yesterday.
The Playmakers have. expressed
their great appreciation Of the work
rendered by Mrs. Marguerite Myrben
of Minneapolis in .rehearsing the
plays. Mrs. Myrben has. upon sew
previous occasions. been Of much
a. sistancc to the players and play
makers of the North Dakota univcr-
sity. ~

THE FARM HANDS PAY
(Courier-Jou

A bulletin issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture
shows the movement in farm wages
in response to the general conditions
now existing. A comparison between
the earnings of farm laborers and
those OF railroad employees may be
made by using the figures of the bull
letin and those Of the report Of the
Railroad Wage Commission to the d.
rector General of Railroads, which
was the basis of the recent increase Of
railroad wages.
There is a very general impression
that the farm laborer is the worst
paid and hardest worked laborer.
There is a general impression that
railroad employees were well paid I'M
der private ownership. The figures
from the two publications to which
reference is made do not show that
the farm owner, a small proprietor,
pays poor wages, and that the rail-
roads under private ownership, large
proprietors, paid high wages.
The Department of Agriculture
finds that in 1917 the national aver
age of farm wages was $2S.S7
month, with board, or $4O.43 without
board Harvest wages averaged SOS
a day, with board or $2.5S without
board 1t is not shown by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, but it should be
borne in mind that harvest wages are
paid during the month who work in
the harvest upon the farms where
they are regularly employed, and that
majority of farm hands have an OPP
portunity to participate in harvest
wages.
"Fifty-one per cent. of all railroad
employees in 1917 received SIS month
or less" says the Railroad Wage Com
mission 1.-THE greatest number of
employees on all roads fall into the
class receiving $50 and $65 month.
The average pay of railroad
clerks in 1917 was $56.77. Section
men, station service employees and
several other classes of unskilled la

ADMINISTRATIONS OPPOSES STOP.
PING BEER MANUFACTURE

Washington, June 6-Administra-
ton opposition to any attempt to stop
the manufacture of wine and beer, so
long as the sale of whiskey is per-
mitted, was made certain yesterday
with the announcement that Food Nd
ministrator Hoover opposed such
step because he believed the evils at
tendan upon putting the notion on
"whiskey and gin" basis, would far
outweigh the small food savings that
would result.
President Wilson already had stated
in a letter to Senator Sheppard of
Texas, prohibition champion and
Democratic member of the agricul-
tire committee, that he would not use
his power to prohibit the use OF food
stuffs in beer and wine unless Mr..
Hoover regarded such a step neces-
sary to the feeding of this country
and the Allies.
After the position OF the President
and the Food Administration had been
known, Senator Sheppard and other
sYlators said that the senate would
strike from the 81 100000 emergency
agricultural bill, house amendment
prohibiting the use of some $6,Ooo,ooo
carried by the measure, unless man.
ufacture of wine and beer was stop
ped by the President.
Senator Smith of South Carolina
Chairman of the Agricultural Com
mittee, upon his return to Washington
tonight, said he was inclined to OPP
spoe the amendment because a very
small proportion of grain is being
used in the production of alcoholic
liquors, since the distilling of whiskey
was stopped last September.
