Anticipating a general movement
on the part of the Pullman farmers
to bulk great amount of their grain

which U. G.. Lawler is manager, is
constructing a two-story building,
l4x34 feet, above the platform, to
house a modern cleaning plant which
will be installed as soon as the new
addition is ready for it. The con-
tract for the addition has been
awarded Frank V. Roth. and work
has already commenced on the

The new cleaner will have u capac-
ity of 100 bushels per hour and will
the screenings will be returned to the
wagon in which the load of bulk
grain was brought to the elevator
within a few minutes after the
wagon is unloadCd, tie cleaner being
operated on a gravity system. The
cleaner is expected to effect a great
saving to the farmers, who have for
many years complained that the
screenings taken out at the mills
were a dead loss to them besides re-
sulting in a dockage on the quality
of the grain. The cleaner will be in
operating order by the first of Au-
gust.

THE GREAT EASTERN
HIPPODROME SHOW

One of the undisputed features
with the Great Eastern Hippodrome
show which will be in Pullman to-
day, Friday, May %, is Prof. Rob
erts, Shadows only rival. This mus
cular giant pulls the combined
strength of 6 men selected from the
audience at every performance; a
miracle only ever duplicated once by
Sandow. Don't fail to see the per-
lection of muscular development.
Golden's peerless military ponies
show almost human intelligence,
prancing, dancing and waltzing,
through their numerous difficult
feats. Years of patient training has
finally developed this group of little
beauties into the finest troup of per-
formers in the country. They are
certainly a great delight to the kid
dies in every city, and each child Wis
iting the shows will be allowed to
ride one of the ponies free of charge.
The Rhodes family of aerialists,
in number, present a series of SEN
sationalism in the lofty peaks of the
big canvas, causing many a gasp as
their bodies fly through the air as
nimbly as so many birds.
The Three Zeneros, in a contortion
novelty unsurpassed by anyone,
twist their bodies into unbelievable
positions like so many reptiles or
some spineless creatures.

TH|RTY-SEVEN FARMERS
HALT A CLEVELAND
TuS-of. War, Man Power Versus Gas
oline, Feature of Farmers Union
and Grange Picnic

The combined pulling strength of
81 farmers was required TO halt Il
Cleveland tractor at the annual picnic
of the members of the Farmers
Union and Grange of Whitman coun-
ty, held Friday afternoon at the
State College. The Cleveland had
comparatively easy shedding until the
number of farmers assigned to the
other end of the rope had reached
81, but when that number had been
reached the huakies had become or
ganzed and one long concerted pull
started the tractor backward against
its own power. The farmers headed
toward the college lake and all that
saved the Cleveland a ducking in the
historic puddle was the fact that the
driver, seeing the approaching ca
lamity, turned the machine sideways
and thwarted the farmers in their
fiendish desire to emulate the ex-
ample of the two lower classes of the
State College, when the weaker of
the two classes is pulled through the
lake.
Spurred on to greater achieve
ments by their victory over the
Cleveland the farmers next tackled
big bull" tractor. With better or
ganization than featured their initial
efforts against the Cleveland, the
''bull' succumbod to the efforts of
30 farmers, who were pulling the
tractor and blowing a furrow in I'M
plowed soil, when, at the psychology
zeal moment, the great rope snapped
and 35 farmers were sent sprawling
on their backs. yet smiling trium-
phantly and proclaiming the suprem-
acy of man-power (when there is
enough of it, over gasoline.
The tugs-Of-war proved the big
features of the annual picnic and
were witnessed by between 300 and
400 farmers from all parts of the
county who attended the affair. A
mammoth basket dinner was spread
on the green of the campus at noon,
this being followed by IA number of
speeches. John NJ. Klemgard was
master of ceremonies and short talk
were made by President f. O. Hol-
land of the State College, Senator r.
{. McCroskey of Garfield, ]. s. Klein
gard OF Pullman, James Emert of
Pullman, master of Whitman Po-
mona Grange, No. ,; J. c. Lawrence
OF Spokane, state oyerseer for the
Grange. and f. l.. Kennard, Whit
man county agricultural agent.
The farmers took the measure of
the college faculty in a snappy base
ball game, 3 to 0. in which the feat
ures were the excellent work of the
eatchers, Patterson and Barbee, re-
ceiving for the farmers and faculty
respectively The farmers showed a
distinct superiority over the faculty
members at the bat, the fielding be-
ing about on a par, with enough err
rors to make the game interesting to
the old-time fans.

MUST PAY SAME WAGE
As: OTHER STATES
Low Wage Scales Proposed
Will Keep Men Away, Says
Federal Official.

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 29.-"North
Dakota farmers will have to pay the
same wages as farmers rartner south
If they expect to save the CROP" said
F. c. Miller Of Kansas City, asso-
eiated with A. L. Barkman, assistant
to the director general of the United
States employment service, who was
in Fargo today.
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
borers north through Texas, Okla
homa, Kansas, Nebraska and South
Dakota, until they are now arriving
in North Dkota harvest fields.
"Forty-five cents an hour was the
wage in Oklahoma at the beginning
of the harvest season." said Mr..
Miller. In Kansas, the general wage
became SIS a 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 SIS
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
southern states, and North Dakota
will have to pay the prevailing wage
to save the crops.
yNoro Gno1oc ror,cn OInrtOnn
Numerous complaints of the
shortage of labor in North Dakota
have been registered at Mr.. Bark
mans office, and after a careful in
vestigation, this shortage has been
attributed to the schedule of wages
adopted by local communities, which
was considerable less than the wages
paid throughout the harvest fields
from Oklahoma north"
Mr.. Miller pointed out two forces
that are constantly diminishing the
farm labor supply in the country, the
number of men entering military
service, and the number being re-
cruited by the United States govern
ment, 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.
Laborers naturally follow these
channels of demand. North Dakota s
quota of the 100000 men who will
be recruited throughout the United
States for war industries is 1880
men, all these forces acting togeth-
er, decreasing the number of men
available for farm help"

1000 NEEDED AID

Great Falls, Mont, Aug. 90
When G. F. Christie, assistant to
the secretary of agriculture here tc
direct the distribution of federal
aid to the farmers Of the northwest
returned from North Dakota last
night he said that he had determined
there will be aid required for 16
counties on the west and north OF
North Dakota. He believes that it
can be handled on the 100000 al.
lotted there. He estimates that
1000 farmers of that state will need
aid. Work of getting exact data
and putting the aid machinery into
early operation will be started to-
morrow and Mr.. Christie expects to
have the matter completed by the
middle Of September. The attitude
of the eastern banks toward North
Dakota has operated to accentuate
the situation somewhat and make
the governments WORK more neces.
Sary.
