English Officer Lost
Coat Here Yesterday

Lieut.. j. W. Maxey of the Flying
Circus that flew over the city yester-
day lost his leather aviator's coat at
the field and the person finding the
coal is requested to turn it over to
C. N. Barnes who will send it imme-
diately to the army officer.
Lieutenant Maxey was one of the
English airmen who flew here yester-
day. He stated before leaving that he
loaned the coat to of the civilians
who was going up in a machine and
that he couldn't remember having it
again. He is of the opinion that the
coat was laid down and thai someone
picked it up for safe keeping later in
the day.

LABOR SHORTAGE
| IS NOT SERIOUS
Many Soldiers Desire Other
Work Than Straight
Farm Labor.

A recent government report thai
! the northwest, including North Dako-
ia, was supplied with but eighty per
cent of the required amount OF labor
for farm does not hold good in Grand
Forks county. according to Employ
ment Agen, F. E. Hubbard of Grand
Forks.
A shortage has been experienced in
this county since Saturday. but prior
to that time there was no shortage
whatever, says Mr.. Hubbard, and the
situation here is not at all serious. A
large number of farm laborers have
been placed in the county during the
last few weeks and until Saturday the
employment bureau at the courthouse
was able to keep up with the demand
for men.
Many returned soldiers have beer
placed this year but a difficulty has
arisen this seaso according to Mr..
Hubbard. Hundreds of discharged
service men have applied for work at
the labor office but when offered
straight farm labor they would not
accept the work.
1t is felt that returned soldiers in
the Twin Cities desiring farm work
would have no difficulty in being
placed in North Dakota if they would
make the jump and it is reported that
other cities including Chicago are
congested with surplus labor, a large
part of which is caused by returned
service men who are loath to leave
the cities for the farms.
Depends on Wages.
The most serious shortage of labor
in the county is in those districts
where the farmers are unwilling tt
pay more han $50 to $55 a month
said Mr.. Hubbard this morning. There
is practically no shortage in the local
tiles where the farmer is willing tt
pay from $50 to $40 a month fol
labor. The farmer who is willing tt
pay the higher wage will have littl'
or no difficulty in securing sufficien
labor, according to the agent.
Mr.. Hubbard estimates that from
SO to rs men could be placed at farm
labor in Grand Forks county at tn
present time and that the wage woul,
probably have to be $50 or s65
month. Many men looking for EN-
ployment refuse to take farm worl
for a lesser wage and many Of tn
returned soldiers are looking TO
tractor and gas engine positions bu
will not take ordinary farm work.

bad and workmen's compensation
which has been successfully tried

makes it possible for all employees

"The manufacturers Of Tennessee,

FIFTH LIERTY
Z VICTORY" LOAN.


hour, Mr.. j. "a s. Fielder was ap-
pointed and consented to take the
chairmanship of the campaign in
Henderson county, and no matter
what the result may be, it can be
expected that Mr.. Fielder will do his
best to carry the county over the
top. The rate of interest (4% per
cent? is so liberal that it is believed
the loan will be floated without diff
Guilty and that all counties in all the
districts will meet their quotas. If
the "little" men and women who can
will each buy a bond, the Henderson
county quota of $184,5O0 can be met.
The real danger in this campaign is
that the "big" man in finances may
gobble up practically the whole loan.
Let the people buy the bonds.
