TRANSMITS TO
REGISTER WITH
HOME DISTRICT
Certificates can be Issued only
by Boards at Permanent
Address
SUPPLIES NOW GOING OUT
First Shipment of Great Mass
of Forms and Blanks Made
Today
SUPPLIES NOW GOING OUT

"The registration to be held some
time next month will occur at a time
when there are a large number Of
transients at work in different parts
OF the state" says Adjutant General
Fraser, in a letter mailed local draft
boards today. These men will un-
doubtedly present themselves to local
boards of North Dakota. Your atten-
ton is called to the fact that reg
istrant must have his registration card
deposited with the local board of his
permanent address. Boards and reg
istrars will carefully scrutinize this
class of registrants and inform them
that after registration they (the reg
istrants) must mail the card to the
board of jurisdiction at the home ad-
dress. The selective service statute
does not contemplate that cards be
left where the registrant happens to
be. OF course, you will properly fill
out a card for any transient that pre-
sents himself but you will not issue
registration certificate unless you
know that your precinct is the reg
istrant's permanent home"
The different forms required for
the proposed September registration
will commence to 60 out today. Many
boards will receive but portion OF,
their allotment in the first shipment,
but as fast as received from Wash
ington the balance will 60 forward.
The basis adopted by the provost mar
shall general is the number Of regis
trants OF June, 1917, plus fifty per
cent. Questionnaires will be sent on
this basis; registration cards will be
furnished on this basis, and two will
be sent for each estimated registrant.
Many boards will adopt the policy
of having the registrars fiji out two
cards for each registrant. This will
save the time of the chief clerk in
maxim duplicates for use of the dis
trict board, and the adjutant general
suggests that all boards adopt this
plan.
All chief clerks of local boards are
earnestly urged to clean up odds and
ends from the three preceding regis
trations at once, so that they will
have a clean slate for the Septem-I
ber rush. All entertainments will be
out of the way prior to this regis
tration, and all back work should be
completed, says the adjutant general,
so that entire attention may be given
this large registration.

NORTH DAKOTA
MUST PAY MORE
TO FARM HANDS
Solution of Labor Problem Lies
in Wages Equal to Other
States Scale

"NOrth Dakota farmers will have
to pay the same wages as farmers
farther south If they expect to save
the CROP said F. c. Miller of Kan
sas City, associated with A. l..
Barkman, assistant to the director
general of the United States employ
ment service, who was in Fargo to.
day.
The department with which Mr..
Miller is associated has charge of
the directing of the harvest from the
Mexican to the Canadian border, and
as the harvesting in the south be-
came completed, has guided the la
'oorers north through Texas, Okla
homa, Kansas, Nebraska and South
Dakota, until they are now arriving
in North Dakota harvest fields.
"Forty-five cents an hour was the
wage in Oklahoma at the beginning
Of the harvest season." sai id Mr..
Miller. In Kansas, the general wage
became S. day, and this wage scale
has continued up through Nebraska
and South Dakota. Cities such as
Sioux City. Oklahoma City, and
Kansas City are bidding against
each other for common labor at s.
a day. Men have come to the North
Dakota harvest fields with the un-
derstanding that the wages would be
equally as good here as in the south
ern states, and North Dakota will
have to pay the prevailing wage to
save the crops.
Wage Scales Cause Shortage.
Numerous complaints of the short
age Of labor lin North Dakota have
been registered at Mr.. Barkman's Of
flee, and after careful investigation,
this shortage has been attributed to
the schedule Of wages adopted by To-
cal communities, which was cOnsid.
cradle less than the wages paid
throughout the harvest fields from Ok
lahoma north"
Mr.. Miller pointed out two forces
that are constantly diminishing the
farm labor supply in the country, the
number Of men entering military SER
vice, and the number being recruited
by the United States government for
war industries.
"The United States government is
bidding for labor and transporting
trainloads of men east every day to
the cantOnment camps. powder mills
and ship yards at wages along the
lines above indicated, and even pay
ing for the transportation Of men. La
borers naturally follow these chan
nels Of demand. North Dakota's quota
of the 100000 men who will be re-
cruited throughout the United States
for war industries is $50 men, all
these forces acting together decreas-
ing the number of men available for
farm help"

ences at the front and of the suffer
ings and hardships so patiently en-
dured by the English people, is not an
orator in the ordinary sense of the
term; there are no flowery periods or
rhetorical embellishments of any kind
in his talks. But how enlarges
ones ideas and stimulates the imagin-
alton! How constantly and profound
ly he touches the emotions! This is
a man who is telling US at first hand
of the CHASTITY horrors of war Incl
dent after incident he narrates that
causes that strange. clutching in the
throat which nobody can explain, nor
anybody control. Greatest of orators
is he who inspires his listeners with
admiration for heroism, for loyalty,
for usefulness. After hearing Captain
Edwards stories of the sublimities of
human life, how trivial and insignifi-
cant seems everything that has no
ebaring on the winning of the war;
at is men like Edwards who teach
us how deep, how rich, how glorious
the life of man on earth may be-
Theirs is an elquence dime. 1t is
the tear trembling in the eye and the
lump struggling in the throat, that
