Dakota at the rate Of about $4,000 900
per annum, according to. the biennial

eral funds 81, 375,923.94 and it spent
$2,465,061.23, reducing the balance at
the end Of the year to s316,862.s7.
In thee fiscal year ending June 80,

control Of North Dakota's administra-
ton, We expenditures were $~2,320,000

Fargo. N. D.. Aug. 26.-"North Da-
kota farmers will have to pay the
same wages as farmers farther south
IL they expect to save the crop" said
F. C. Miller Of Kansas City, associ-
ated 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 Dakota 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
has continued up through Nebraska
and South Dakota. Cities, such as
Sioux City, Oklahoma City and Kan
sas City are bidding against each
other for common labor at IS a day.
Men have come to the North Dakota
harvest fields with the understanding
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.
Wage Scales Cause Shortage.
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

Automobile License
Tags Will Cost State
$4,000 More This Year

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 26.-Because
Of the long drawn litigation affecting
the constitutionality Of certain pro-
visions of the motor vehicle registra-
ton act, the state will pay $4,000
more for its automobile license tags
than would have been necessary had
contracts been made in June, as or
iginally contemplated. These tags.
too, must be purchased from funds
upon which the state board of control
may draw, for the supreme court has
ruled hat no investment for clerk
hire, supplies or other expenses may
be made by the secretary of state
from the motor vehicle registration
fund.
The board Of control has set Sep!
TENDER 6 as the date upon which bids
for automobile license tags will be re-
ceived. Last year North Dakota paid
II 1-2 cents per duplicate set for these
tags. June IA manufacturers offered
to contract for next years supply at
21.5 cents. This tender was with
drawn when the automobile registra-
ton department was litigated into
supreme court in the assault made on
the constitutionality of the act by the
cities of Fargo. Grand Forks and Bis
marck. South Dakota is now paying
2s.5 for its tags. and Secretary Of
State Hall is inclined to doubt that
North Dakota can obtain amy more
Favorable price. The state probably
will use $4,000 sets of tags. The
board of control will put up the
money, depending upon the next ses-
sion of the, legislature to reimburse
it for this expenditure and to correct
the defects in the motor vehicle reg
istration act which omits a constitu-
tional provision for the purchase Of
supplies and the employment of nee
essary clerical help.

W0EFuL LACK OF
HELP FOR SICK
People Urged to Show Pa.
triotism by Some
Action.

Editors Freeman-Jouranl: In the
depression of patriotic sentiment, Web
ster City has made a record of which to
be proud. But it would appear that in
the need arising out of the presence
of the epidemic of influenza we are
about to fail. Whole families have been
stricken with the influenza for whom
lit has been impossible to secure help.
In several instances, people well on the
road to recovery have suffered a re-
lapse because of the lack of attention.
This epidemic has invaded some of
the homes of the boys who are on the
battlefront in France. There has been
no lack of people to march in parades
in honor of these brave fellows as they
marched to the depot to entrain for the
training camp and thence to the bloody
fields of France. One Of the most eff
.fective departments Of the Red Gross
is the home work department, the pur-
pose of which is to assure the soldiers
that his loved Ones will be adequately
cared for in his absence. How shall we
explain matters to him, if il Gods
providence he shall return and find
that his loved ones have suffered Inat-
tended, or perchance, have died for
lack of care at a critical time? We.
have been vehemently urged to 0ur ut
most endeavor to encourage ouc boys
to keep up their morale, that the great
est sacrifice possible to us is as noili,ig
compared to the suffering of war strick
France. And now that an opportun-
ity has come to our very doors to en-
dure some hardship, to incur some
slight degree of danger, shall we fail?
1t has been said that there are some
who will need to spend the rest of their
lives in explaining their attitude, and
many of their acts, in regard to this
world struggle for Righteousness. What
explanation shall we able to give in
this present crisis if we fail to meet it?
