Spend Your Vacation
On A Farm This Year,
Says John N. Hagal

North Dakotans who are going to
take a vacation this year are urged to
take 1t during harvest time. spend it
on a farm and assist in harvesting
grain so sorely needed to feed the
armies of the United States and its
allies, in an appeal made by John N.
Hagan, state commissioner Of agri-
culture and labor.
present time" reads Mr.. Hagan's ap-
peal, "that the 1918 crop in North
Dakota will be equal to the crop Of
1917, which totalled $1,000, 900 BUSH
els Of wheat alone. Fifty thousand
harvest hands will be necessary to
take care Of this grain. Where will
this labor come from?"
The steady drain on the labor re-
sources of the country for military
service and for the production Of
war material>sMr. Haean says, will
greatly reduce the usual army Of
t~ransients to the North Dakota
harvest fields, and that 1t will be i'm
possible to draw enough labor from
outside the state, no matter what
wages are offered. So .
Mr.. Hagan suggests that men en-
gagged in n~on-essential industries can
be replaced by women for the harvest
period, and adds that business and
professional men,, unAccustomed to
hard labor, should prepare Themselves
gradually.
Any loss Of grain through shortage

MONTANA MAKING
CAMPAIGN TO GET
COAL SUPPLY EARLY

Helena Mont. June 13.-The
ceaseless campaign to induce the con-
sumers Of coal to lay in his winters
supply has not brought the results de-
sired, although the state fuel commits
sion, under Executive Secretary Will
liam Wagner, has wAged q strenuous
battle during many weeks. according
to those connected with the state fuel
administration,
Perhaps there is no state In which
the fuel problem is more acute than it
Is in Montana, yet the state. patriotic
to a degree in all things also. remains
dis~couragingly Indifferent on this
matter. Because it is thoroughly
American, Montana is dimcult to stir
up to a question Of foresight or
economy.
The vast reaches Of the state. which
In ordinary winters are covered by
deep snow, make the transportation
problem complex in ordinary times.
Under war conditions. moving fuel.
unless it Is laid In beforehand, might
become almost impossible. during a
long cold spell following a blizzard.
The farmers particularly have been
importuned to buy their coal and
store it now, because Thousands upon
thousands Of them r often cut OF
from the world by NOV. But The
Montana farmer. while universally
prosperous, is ono Of the busiest men
in the world. He has sown every
acre he can manage and while In &C
tual scarcity of labor does not as yet
exist, there Is always fear of It and
the rancher naturally thinks his first
! duty Is to his crops.
Governor. Sam v. Stewart, who ID
extraordinarily popular with all class
es in the state. has kept out OF
the matter thus far, but it is limited
that he may be induced to q his in
duence in the cause.

Stutsman County Fair
! To Be Held In September

jamestown. N. D., June 13.-The
directors of the Stutsman County Fair
association, in conference with nearly
"a score Of stock r~aisers, have determ-
ined to begin work on the fair that
will be held here in September. The
1917 stock exhibit was one Of the best
in the state and the greatly increased
interest in the raising Of pure bred
animals that is manifest throughout
the county, will make possible a still
better showing this coming season. A
Shorthorn breeders association. was
formed some months ago, and prac-
tically every farmer in the township
became a member. It is now proposed
to organize a general stock breeders
association that will include all in the
county who raise any variety Of pure
bred stock.

Constitutionality OF
N. D. Limited Franchise
Act Attacked In Court

Bismarck, N. D., June 13.-The
constitutionality of North Dakota's
limited equal franchise act, passed
at the legislative session of 1917, is
attacked in an action which reached
the supreme court today. Dora Spat-
gen Of New Leipzig vas denied the
right to cast her vote under this act
at the recent village elections. She
then brought suit against the village
election board, demanding $500 for
the humiliation, and suffering which
its rebuff caused her. The village
board demurred, on the grounds that
the limited franchise act of 1917 is
unconstitutional. Judge Nuessle, in
the local district. overruled the de-
murrer. and the village election
board appealed, throwing the ques-
|tions of-'thes constitutionality Of this
act into supreme court. The North
Dakota act allows women to vote for
all offices not created by. constitution
and is. a copy Of the Illinois act.

Washington expects us to rely upon

the mines cannot meet it IL they are

administration to divert to North Da-
kota all available old bunker cars,
box cars too dilapidated to be used
for grain and similar rolling stock
to be used exclusively in transporting

should be made to convince the peo-
pie of the northwest that their safety

dant supply Of Ignite now, when the
mines can produce it and the railways
can handle it."
