LABOR SHORTAGE ENDS

The threatened shortage Of farm
labor gives promise of turning into
surplus. ....5-s i
Six weeks ago the cry went up that
there would be no workers to harvest
the crops, because all the surplus farm
labor had been attracted to the cities
by the prospect of high wages in the
big industrial centers.
But those days of excess labor de-
mand have passed. The men who
flocked to the cities are finding it
more and more difficult to get en-
ployment, and there is a decided trend
back to the farms. The Daily Okla
homan of Oklahoma City reports a
surplus of farm laborers in Oklahoma
for the harvest season. The Kansas
City Journal reports a similar surplus
on the farms of Kansas and new ar
rivals are being turned back by state
and government agents. Y
The change, so far, is healthy one.
Several reasons can be given for it.
The Tightening of credits and the
gradually declining demand in many
lines due to high prices, have caused
slackening of manufacture. This
slackening is chiefly noticeable in the
wooden, cotton and shoe industries.
The tide of immigration is also rising
and many Eew workers are coming
from From Europe seeking employ
ment. The result has been a decided
increase in the productivity of labor,
due to Elessening in the turnover.
Men are no longer so inherent to their
obs, since new jobs are not so easy
to find. They make greater effort to
hold their jobs, and the new arrivals
IN the big centers are finding it neces-
sary to turn back to the farms. ~
The situation is not alarming
quite to the contrary. The demand
isn't satisfied. 1t is merely suspend
ed and will increase as prices come
down. There is employment for all
the surplus labor for several years to
come, catching up with the housing
and building shortage, and in provid-
ing needed railroad equipments if
prices recede and if the needed fnanc-
ing can be arranged. IL
Meanwhile North Dakota farmers
need not worry about labor short
age, even if the glowing crop pros
poets in the state are realized to the
full.-Forum.

ADVERTISING RATES TO AD-
VANCE

Paper used by newspapers IS ad-
vancing daily and the demand is
greater than the supply. It is report
ed that many newspapers will be COM
PEELED to suspend at no distant date.
Paper generally for all purposes has
risen rapidly in price the last few
days. Print paper is now costing the
Times Record 1856 per ton laid down
in the basement. The enormous cost
is more than we can stand unless we
increase our rates for advertising and
on August first that is what will hap
pen. Labor and paper is going higher
all the time and we have to pass it on
to some one else. Advertisers are get
ting cheaper rates in Valley City to-
day than any town in the state con-
sdering the circulation of the Times
Record and the value Of it as an adj
vertising medium. We are not asking
anything out Of the way in raising our
advertising rates. The Times-Record
is getting less than many of the week
ly papers around here and is giving
better service. The town needs the
daily newspaper ana in order to main
tain it we must have increased prices
to produce it. 1t is either case of
shutting down the daily or of our mer-
chants paying more for their adver-
Using. They are asking more for
their goods all the time as prices in
their lines raise and we can see no
reason why this paper should not also
get an increase to keep up with our
added cost to produce the paper. On
August first advertising will advance
to Csc per inch. fg-

SHAMELESS PROFITEERING

Nothing will convince the average
consumer that there has not been the
most shameless profiteering in sugar,
some place along the line between
him and the producer. And in this
case it isn't the legitimate dealer,
either retailer or wholesaler who is
to blame.
Recently it was reported that ship
ments of nearly 100000 pounds of
sugar had been received in Chicago
from Canada and billed to Gamers and
wholesalers at to 8 IL cents.
Where did the sugar come from?
The most plausible answer to that
question is that it was some of the
Cuban crop purchased by spectators
after President Wilson refused to buy
it at cents. There have been in
stances where this sugar was brought
to this country refined here, shipped
to Europe, and. brought back here to
be sold. European purchasers found
that under prevailing exchange rates
they could make bigger profits by
shipping it back to this country and
selling it here at the new prices than
they could by marketing it abroad as
they originally planned. Perhaps this
sugar offered in Chicago is some that
was sent to Canada under similar con-
ditions.
And now come reports that Cuban
growers have formed q huge pool to
hold sugar for high prices. The pool
is reported to control about 2,O00, 900
sacks Of unsold sugar. Within week
Of the news Of the forming Of this pool
came a report that the price had been
reduced from the original mark Of %
cents to 20 cents, and that the 2,000,-
600 sacks had been offered for less in
this country at that figure. This is
part Of the same sugar that President
Wilson could have purchased last fall
for less than cents. Probably most
of it is no longer in the hands Of
growers, but is controlled BY spccu-
lators, who doubtless bought Il for
considerably less than half the price
they now offer it.
But the fact that they have formed
the pool and have since reduced the
price 10 20 cents shows that they are
beginning to get nervous. The vul-
nerable spot in their armor 10 the mat
ter Of credit, and It Il ut this spot
they should be attacked. II the
sources Of credit could be closed to
every man holding sugar supplies
which were bought Tor speculative

GIVE US ONE MORE DEFEAT

q
That the growth in the opposition
to the nonpartisan league was not due
to the personal following of Attorney
General LANCER, is plainly evidenced
by the vote given John Steen, who has
probably been nominated for state
treasurer.
It has been pointed out that Mr..
LANCER polled nearly 10000 votes
more than John Steen did two years
ago. But John Steen also polled near
ly 10000 votes more than he did two
years ago. He ran just as strongly
as did Mr.. LANCER, and when the Off
cial returns are in, it probably will be
found that he polled few votes more
than Mr.. LANCER did.
That is no reflection on Mr.. Ian
drawing the fire of the whole league
plunderbund at all stages of the cam
paign. He bore the brunt Of the
fighting, and all the attacks centred
on him. Many of the other men on
the ticket got the benefit of the fight
he put up, while they escaped the at
tacks that were made upon him. For
that reason it is not a reflection on
Mr.. Langer's showing to call atten-
ton to the fact that Mr.. Steen polled
just as many votes as he did, and per-
haps few mere. But that fact does
prove that the increased strength of
the opposition to the league is by no
means due to any voters who will
cling to their league membership but
voted for Mr.. LANCER as a protest
against Townley's autocratic rule. Mr..
Steen has been known for four years
as an unpromising opponent of league
doctrines. Probably there was no
man on the ticket who has fought the
league more strenuously and more
uncompromisingly than Mr.. Steen, yet
he polled the second biggest vote on
the independent ticket, running sec
ond only to Thomas Hall, and that
vote was bigger by nearly 10000 than
the vote he polled for governor two
years ago. .r
Certainly such situation should
offer encouragement to those who
have consistently opposed the whole
program Of state socialism. We have
the scalps Of Cahill, Walker, Dupuis,
Baer and Pendray tucked away; there
is the plurality given Miss Nelson
and the probability that the voters
will decide that something more than
physical equipment is needed by a
supreme court justice. In addition
the voters passed the red flag law
which the league refused to give them,
and they decided they didn't want any
smelling committee poking it's nose
into the private affairs of citizens, or
any state sheriff to WELD the big stick
for the governor, nor the Australian
ballot law repealed to permit league
organizers to buy votes 80 days be-
fore election. Also the two-thirds ma
jority in the house and senate is a
thing of the past, and there is very
grave doubt whether the league will
ever control both houses. 4
Give us one more "defeat" just like
that in the fall, and the boycott gang
won't have toehold left in North Da-
kota.-Forum. FL
