GRAIN
!. ACREAGE WILL
| BE DESTROYED
Hundreds Of Acres of Rust
ed and Fallen Grain Being
Burned in This County.

Several hundred acres Of wheat will
Sbe burned this year., judging from re-
ports received here during The last
three days. In several places entire
quarter sections are being burned off
Aand spots of many other fields are
being turned over to the flames.
j. johnson of Grand Forks stated
this morning that he will burn Ito
acres in Vale towpship as it lis
worthless and burning X practically
the only way to clear the*landg as the
straw cannot be plowed under TO good
advantage.
The rust hit Johnson's fields heavily
n then the wind blew The stalks to
the ground. making it impossible to
harvest the crop ever If it would be
.of any value after threshing. Mr..
johnson is not the only man with
lands in Walle township who lEans
on burning the remains of the crop
failure.
Parts of many fields throughout the
county are to be burned, according
to reports received today, and in many
sections a large acreage has already
been burned. .
The rust is attributed the principal
blame for the necessity of burning
as the stalks were so weakened that
they could not stand up under The
weather. and wind and rain flattened
the grain to the ground.

Murder Charge Results
From Row Following
Hold Up Of Laborers.

With demand exceeding supply Of
farm labor at the U. e. employment
office in the court house, Edgar I. Oh
sen, county. labor agent, and A.. w.
Chalker, special field agent, have wir-
ed to Minneapolis for a hundred men
who are expected to arrive tonight to
relieve the temporary labor shortage.
Se%venty-hve men were ordered from
Minneapolis Wednesday but a return
wire for notification slowed up the
shipment and when the verification
was sent to the Mill City local labor
agents had raised the "ante" twenty
Ave men. An order has also been sent
to Fargo for any men that can be
spared from that district.
The situation here has not become
serious but the men desired can be
used to good advantage, according to
the agents. 1t is expected that the ar
rival of the men from he city on
night and morning trains will relieve
entirely the temporary shortage here.
A few radical laborers loafing in the
city have attempted to take advantage
Of the temporary shortage and are de-
handing wages almost double the pre-
vailing wage. However the farmers
are not conceding the demands and
the situation is not nearly serious
enough to force the producer to give
in to the demands Of the radicals.

PEMBINA-CAVALlER
DISTRICT A LOSS
HAS BEEN ADJUSTED

I. Considerable hail losses in Cavalier
and Pembina counties are reported
by Deputy Clerk of Court Robert
Thompson, who returned last night
from q trip in hat district adjusting
represented by him.
In some sections of the counties the
loss is light, a great deal Of it is spot
ed and in some places the loss was
total, according to Mr.. Thompson. In
many places the rust contributed to
the large loss by hail owing to the
fact that 1t weakened the stalks and
rnade it easy for fairly heavy hail to
throw the grain to the ground.
Celery contains sulphur and helps

SOME EXCUSE FOR FAILURE
But Civil Service Candidate Who
Could Not Place Goofusburg Did
Not Pass His Examination.

Now that the government depart
ments have begun to cut down their
forces, examinations are the order of
the day. Incidentally, the civil service
commission is finding that many
grades are unusually high, for about
half the woman war workers who came
to Washington originally left jobs of
teaching the young idea how to shoot.
Hence, they just naturally tie the av-
erage civil service question into a bow
Knot and hang the whole works on the
line In no time.
Every now and then, however. the
commission manages to dig up a ques-
tion that no one can answer Such a
one was found recently for a constit-
