BETTER CLASS
OF WORkINGMEN
FEWER BUNS COMING TO SOUTH
DAKOTA HARVEST FIELDS.

Sioux City, July 21.-Harvest
hands are SO to rs per cent higher
class than in previous years, accord
ing to M. A. Coykendail, director of
the farm service of the United States
employment office, who with A. o.
Fulmer and Joseph Schofield arrived
in Sioux City from the Kansas City
office to assist Examiner B. w.
Holmes in distributing men to the
grain fields.
Practically few so-called tramps
and buns are applying for harvest
jobs" said Mr.. Coykendall. Many
are students who are working every
day and saving their money for coll
lege this winter. In fact all the men
are saving their wages as never be-
fore. Hundreds have come from the
east and south and the first thing
they do when they get their pay
checks is to buy money orders to
send home. Oftentimes they keep
barely enough to live on
Between 5000 and 1000 will be
needed in South Dakota, Mr.. Coy
kendall estimates. The harvest will
be on in full blast next week, al.
though few calls already are COM
ing in from Charles Mix and Douglas
counties.
Mr.. Coykendal is convinced that q
permanent employment service will
be created by congress. THE atti
tude of congressman at Washington
when left July 5, gave me every rea
son to believe they favor such mea
sure" he said.

Bryan's Paper Opposes
Treaty with France

Lincoln, Neb., July 21.-In state
ment appearing in the current issue
of his newspaper here, w. ]. Bryan
expresses opposition to the proposed
alliance with France.
IAN alliance with France is de-
fined on the ground that it is nec-
essary for her protection" the state
ment says. THE League Of Nations
gives France the same protection 1t
does other nations. A league within
the league would not only discredit
the league and proclaim out lack of
faith in 1t, but 1t would be de-
structive force"

While government officials laid

Seturu to the price control system
which prevailed during the war.
The butter and egg men sent tcl-
cgram TO President Wilson expressing
their Willingness 10 aid in formulating
and enforcing n scheme Of regulation

posal to re-establish wartime food
control.

duty at this particular time TO lend
every possible assistance In success

our government our hearty co-Opera-
tion in the establishment Of some tenn
porary regulation of our industry. sim
liar 10 that which prevailed during tho
war period. especially along the lines
of limitations Of profits and Co-ord!na-
tion of purchases"
Meanwhile the governments formal
declaration of war on food prohteers

Assistant District Attorney L. A. Mil
roy.

The act also provides n $4,000 fine

or boarding food to advance prices,
Mr.. Palmer submitted TO the agricul-
ture committee OF congress the draft
OF an amendment to the food control
act extending Its provisions to cloth
ing and containers OF foods and feeds,
and providing penalty Of $4,000 fine
or two years Imprisonment, or both,
for violation Of the law.
Chairman Haugen of the House
committee announced that the amend
ment would be considered Immediately

It Is Mr.. Palmer's Idea that this

fore taking up other amendments sug-
gested by President Wilson to extend
the effective life of the food control
act beyond the war period.
Three cabinet officers asked special
appropriations from congress for the
campaign against inflated prices.
