day Morning When, Bosses Fail to
Meet Their Demands.

One hundred and fourteen teamsters
and truck drivers in the city Of Minot
struck Monday morning when the
bosses failed to sign up the agreemen,
presented to them, providing for an
eight hour day, So cents an hour and
time and half for overtime. They
have been receiving 500 month and
so cents an hour for overtime. 1t is
said that even had there been no strike
the eight-hour provision would have
gone into effect fsoon.
The strikers have been employed
previously by the various draying and
transfer companies, warehouses
wholesale houses and on delivery wag-
ons and trucks. The wholesale houses
have taken men from the warehouses
to place on the trucks. The transfer
concerns are short-handed but are put
ting new men to work as fast as they
can be secured. A concern or two
have signed up the scale and in those
cases the men have gone back to work.
It is said that some of the men who
have remained at work, or those TAX
ing their places, have been threatened,
but to date there has been no violence
on the part of anybody.

Sepp Says Montana is in Serious
PLIGHT.

Mr.. and Mrs. J. S. Sepp, accompan-
led by their little daughter, arrived
from the west for visit in this city.
The ''little queen" as Pa Sepp proudly
calls the babe, was born last winter
in the west.
Mr.. Sepp enjoyed the past winter in
the west. He was in the vicinity Of
Seattle. After he got used to the
rains, he enjoyed the winter on Puget
Sound. Should he return to the west,
ne would prefer living in Washington
to Oregon. Coming thru Idaho and
Montana, he could see the forest fires
that were raging and it was necessary
to close the coach windows to keep out
the smoke and cinders. Everything
was so dry that the fire fighters sent
out could do little. Montana, he says,
is in serious plight from the. drouth.
Cattle are so poor that they. wobble
and thousands of them will die. There
is little vegetation and water is
scarce. Horses are poor. Good horses
that are worth usually hundred dol
lars head are selling for $500, il
indeed they can be sold at all. A
good many cattle buyers from Wiscon-
sin and other states are shipping out
car loads of cattle, buying them at a
low figure.
The Sepps are occupying their resi-
dence in this city and will spend the
summer here.

WEEDS AND WATER.

Any considerable growth of weeds
in crop or on a summer falloW
causes tremendous loss of moisture.
A thousand pounds per acre of the
early maturing weeds of short season
growth will remove 1.5 inches of stor-
ed water. A thousand pounds of the
more greedy coarse weeds Of longer
season growth will pull up out of
the soil as much as or 5 inches of
stored rainfall.
Under average conditions in North
Dakota clean summer tillage will con-
serve for the next seasons use about
As inches Of water. If weeds are al
lowed to grow in the summer fallow,
or if the corn gets very weedy, the
entire advantage gained thru summer
tillage may be wholly lost. This sea-
son has been a good season for the
embattled farmer to wage war upon
his everlasting enemies, the weeds,
thieving pests that steal both the food
and water which nature has provided
for the farmers crop All the artillery
Of the farm, and all the cunning Of the
farmer are needed to win the "Battle
of the Weeds. III. l.. Walster, N. D.
