FARM HELP GETS RAISE

Men on Nebraska Farms will Draw
500 Month This Year.
Farmers in attendance at an agri-
cultural meeting at Lincoln, Neb., said
they had made contracts with reli-
able and competent hired men at 500
a month. They said it was necessary
to do so for the reason that the sup
ply of competent farm labor was lim-
tied.
The average paid in the state IS
years ago ran from $40 to $25 month.
During the war and last year, with
the So wheat guarantee in effect, SIS
and $50 was paid.
The increase Of wages in the cities
and towns is also given as reason
for the necessity of paying 500 a
month to get the best men.

The herd of seals, controlling the

Sorry for Democrats

But the Republicans are not the
only ones who have failed to live up
to their opportunities The Demo-
Gratis and Socialists and those who
are now sailing under the colors of
the Non-partisian league were the
first ones to operate the state insur-
ance department, and the first eight
days the department was operating
it was in full-fedged row trying to
leave out twelve words in the law
and make it a state monopoly. They
did their very best to put that dis
graceful deal across, and bar out
competition, and but for one clear
headed Democrat in the bunch they
would have had the insurance bust
ness of this state tied up in litigation
like the state funds of North Dakota

Fooled Us All

In the legislative session Of 1917
there were sixty-six measures intro
duced to benefit the farmer, and
sixty-three Of them were enacted.
Nearly all of them carried appropria-
tons or in some way increased the
taxes, and the farmers and the dwell
ers in the towns and villages have to
foot the bill along with others, and
the farmers themselves have very
bitterly denounced or neglected to
live up to many of these measures
when they were put into effect. AS
l look back over the enactment of the
state accident insurance law it looks
like shrewd maneuver to hand us all
a sugar-coated pill by which to tie
us up for big state financial loss in
the future.

Farmers ROpeed In

There is another rotten feature
about this state controlled accident
insurance. For several years the So
cialistic element of the state have
been getting bills introduced for the
benefit of the farmer-apparently
and they do not fail to get Mr..
Farmer in where he has to foot the
bills. In this insurance deal, they
did not require the farmer to carry
accident insurance to protect his en-
ployes, not even his sons, and they
generally get in all the most danger
Gus jobs. If derrick breaks it is
generally the farmers son that gets
killed or crippled. If a horse falls
1t is generally the farmers son that
goes on clutches for a season. If
somebody has to go down into the
we'll it is generally the son of the
farmer that does it, for the other
hired men will stand back and say
hey never had any experience in
below the surface. So it
happens that the dangerous occupa-
ion of farming does not have any
tate insurance to protect it's injured |
mes, but it is held up to them that !
he insurance is good thing to make
he manufacturers behave right, and
hereby they get the support of the
armer vote and the support of the
abor vote in the village where there

turned verdict OF guilty in the

for his connection with the hold-up
Of the Oklahoma cabaret at Ranger
several weeks ago. The verdict was
returned at II O'Clock this morning.
AT O'Clock this afternoon trial
Of tha case against Minis, charged
with assault to murder in connec-
ton With the shooting Of Deputy
Sheriff Barnes just after the staging
of the hold-up of the cabaret. At
torney Albert Baskln made a motion
for severance and asked for the trial
of Thompson first. Thompson is
held on the charge of assault to muir
der in connection with the hold-up.
IL is the object of Baskin to use
Thompson as witness for the de-
Tense in case OF an acquittal. The
state dismissed the case against
Thompson and overruled the motion
of the defense and entered into the
trial Of the Minis case. The jury
was being selected this afternoon
