FARMERS HELP
IS PLENTIFUL
NO SHORTAGE OF LABOR THIS
YEAR, SAYS COUNTY AGENT

Parker, July l7.-County Agent
Dunbier states that there is a surplus
of farm laborers in the county. He
has applicants for work daily and
is unable to find farmers who need
more help.
Employment bureaus in Omaha
and Sioux City are said to have a
surplus of labor applicants. Many
industries and enterprises are not
largely now, and the re-
leased workers are flocking west, eX-
pecting, as in years past, TO find a
shortage of farm laborers. The Mil
waukee railroad company gathers
workmen in Chicago and brings them
west for railroad work. Every few
days a coach or two filled with labor
ers is brought out on the Chicago
west bound train. Many of these
men leave the train and request farm
labor so that the influx of help into
the county is steady.

WORK FOR PAVING
IN PROGRESS
CURBING CONSTRUCTION UNDER
WAY ON CENTER STREET
WEST.

On account of the high cost of ma
terials and labor, several towns in
the state turned down paving prof.
ects in the hope that another year
will see a lower level reached in all
that goes into any city's work of
public improvement. This city, how
ever, not only decided to place in
much needed paving but to get at the
work as early as possible. The city
commission gave authorize tion for
the sale of bonds to carry forward
the paving project and completed
contracts with the Atkinson Paving
company, calling for the construction
work to begin this summer
Preparatory to placing in the paw
ing, cutters, curbs, manholes and
sewers must first be completed be,
fore the concrete base is laid along
Center street. Walter Marquard, of
this city, was awarded the contract
for doing this preparatory work.
Yesterday morning he placed on the
curbing JOB ten or twelve men and
they are following the survey lines
that mark the limits of the actual
paving.
San, gravel and cement are being
unloaded in large quantities near the
west city limits and the work of
curb construction will be rushed to
completion in time for the paving
crew to get started on their contract
work about the first of next month.
Gedney and Murphy, of Minneap-
oils, are eXcayating for sanitary sew
ers found needful along a line run
ming west along Fifth street N 10
Union avenue, where the main trunk
line leads off south to the creek.
This company has just completed
laying of a sewer for a distance of
one block on Center street w, be
tween Josephine and Union avenues.
1t has been stated time and time
again that Madison has one of the
finest paved streets in the state. The
transverse paving for Center street
means much for the future of the
city that is attracting people here III
greater numbers each succeeding
year.

CAL BY SOME OF THE

SENATORIAL FIGHT
IS TO Be HOT
CHERRY TO MAKE AGGRESSIVE
CAMPAIGN FOR OFFICE

Huron, July 1.-THE approaching
political campaign in South Dakota
promises to be one of the most hot
ly contested in recent years.
1t is generally conceded that so far
as the state ticket is concerned w. H.
McMaster, republican candidate, will
be elected governor.
The democrats, however, are going
to make a determined effort to carry
the state not only for the presiden-
tial candidate, but for senator as
well. L. S. G. Cherry, their candi-
date for the latter office, will make
an aggressive fight, and as he is an
effective campaigner, may before
election day, become a formidable
candidate.
The nonpartisan league is also
making every effort to capture the
senatorship and around this office is
where the real battle of the cam
paign will be waged. Both the league
and the democrats, however, are bad
ly handicapped in the matter of daily
papers, as practically every daily in
the state is supporting the republi-
cans. Governor Peter Norbeck has
not been in the best of humor since
the Chicago convention. The COVER
nor essayed to enter national poll
tics by supporting Wood for presi-
dent, but after provoking a bitter
fight in the state he landed wrong
side up with Wood being defeated.
Senator Sterling, who was a Hard
ing man, will no doubt be the con-
trolling force with the next admin
stration so far as South Dakota is
concerned
In the congressional districts c. A.
Christopherson of the first, and Roy
al c. Johnson in the second, will no
doubt be elected. In the third dis
trict the fight will be close, with the
chances favoring the democrats.

CARS REPORTED
PLENTIFUL NOW
FOR FIRST TIME in OVER YEAR
LOCAL ROADS HAVE OVER
SUPPLY ON HAND

Sioux Falls, July 17.-FoI the
first time in over a year Sioux Falls
railroad agents today admitted that
the roads had surplus of livestock
and refrigerator cars in the local
yards. One of the roads today had
As extra refrigerator cars over and
above the city's requirements, with
more scheduled to arrive during the
night and tomorrow. These extras
were promptly dispatched to points
further north and west where the
situation is still acute. Stock cars,
too, are plentiful here for the. first
time in months, with promises from
division headquarters that from now
on demands for this class of rolling
stock will be promptly filled.
The reason for the temperance
of sufficient stock and cold storage
cars after SO many months is at
tributed by local officials to be due
to the fact that foreign shipments of
packing house products are practical
ly at a standstill, thus releasing
hundreds of cars which have hither-
to been tied up at eastern ports. The
same condition applies to stock cars
which have been tied up in the east
due to the outlaw switchmen's strike
and post war shipments.

Reduction Predicted
In Soft Coal Prices

New York, July IA reduction
in the price of bituminous coal was
predicted today by members of the
subcommittee of railroad officials
and coal operators, meeting here to
complete the details of plan to
relieve the coal shortage in New
York city, New England, and the
northwest.
BY scientific distribution of coal
cars the committee, hoped to provide
a steady stream of coal to the affect
ed districts. Under this plan the
committee believed the coal specula-
tors would find it impossible to ex-
act the high prices that the acute
shortage has made possible.
The car shortage alone is the Stun
bling block, it was said.

DR.. R. |. SMITH
At CHAUTAUQUA
NJ DIVINE DELIVERS
ABLE LECTURE TO CHAU-
TAUQUA AUDIENCE.

T All who heard DR.. Roy l.. Smith,
pastor of Simpson M. E. church, at
the Lake Madison chautauqua audi
torium last evening agree that the
subject and the speaker were the best
of anything so far on this years pro-
gram. DR.. Smith is young man
of great oratorical power and persua-
sion. He is possessed of a good,
strong musical voice and delivers his
message in the plainest possible lam
guage. Health and happiness was
the burden of his theme yesterday.
He spoke on the physical, mental and
spiritual side of life training and de-
velopment and during the course of
his remarks there fell the inference
that this day and generation are fast
losing hold on feast of good things
in the way of solid literature and
vital precepts, which, in due course
of time, might mean deterioration.
He mentioned lack of effort to pro-
cure those benefits of health and
mind that speak of higher life and
a more contented existence. All the
way through his speech bristled with
a keen logic that quickly drove home
his meaning and left unforgetable
impressions.
The Fisher Shipp company gave a
number of excellent selections at yes
terday's program period.
Tomorrow will be a banner day
at the lake because of the presence
of the Crawford Adams company, a
trio that come to the auditorium
after pleasing the most refined au-
diences in the country. Mr.. Adams
has the name of Wizard Violinist"
and he is all that in his handling of
the most human-toned of all musi-
cal instruments. To miss hearing
him is a great loss to any lover of
violin music. With this company is
Mrs. Breed, an unsurpassable hum
orist and reader. Sundays program

state that 49, late ruling in regard
to Indians hlndling their own funds
gives them absolute control of any
lease money not in excess of 5000 a
year.
The policy II the government has
been for years to give the Indians
control of their personal business af-
fairs as rapidly as possible, and
while many have been given full con-
troll of their business and land in
terests, the new move is a first step
in handling their own finances which
is beiIg tried out with those not in

Winter Wheat Harvest
In Nebraska

Lincoln, Neb., July 17.-Sum-
marizing daily reports from county
agricultural agents over the state, the
Nebraska college of agriculture finds
the winter wheat harvest in the
southern section of Nebraska is prac-
tically completed and progressing
well in other localities. The reports
say the wheat has been cared for in
better shape and at less cost than for
several years. In several localities
all the labor needed was obtained for
SO cents an hour. A few counties
paid more than 60 cents an hour.
There is a surplus of labor in many
parts of the state. The character Of
that epidemic is reported superior to
the average.

Kansas Woman Voter
Refuses Give Age

Topeka, Kan, July 17.-Woman
suffrage and women's club leaders
generally rallied to the support of
the position taken by Mrs. Margaret
Hill McCarter yesterday in refusing
to give her age when she went to reg
lister as a voter. Mrs. McCarter de-
clares shs will contest the ruling,
which was based on a4decision of the
attorney general that woman can
not register unless she give her age
more definitely than "over 81"

women to prevent them from vot-
ing" declared Mrs. Lila Day Mon

Affect Many

Washington, July 17.-Approxi-
mately 3,500,000 workers were af-
fected by labor controversies, strikes
and lockouts in the United States
during the governments fiscal year
which ended June 30th, it was esti-
mated unofficially today the concilia-
tion bureau of the department of
