LABOR CONDITIONS
DISCOURAGE FARMERS
GOV. FRAZIER OF NORTH DA-
KOTA SAYS CROPS WILL BE
BELOW NORMAL DUE
TO CONDITIONS

New York, May 10.-Labor condi-
tions and high prices have discour-
aged the farmer of North Dakota and
as a result the wheat and potato
crops will be considera bly, below nor
NAL this year, according to Governor
l.. J. Frazier, who arrived here yes
terday. Only about 60 per cent of
the normal wheat acreage is being
planted, he said, while high prices
for potatoes for seed purposes, have
reduced the potato acreage.
Governor Frazier will deliver an
address Monday on the work Of the
Nonpartisan League, which supported
his election. He is confident, he said
that the league will carry the state OF
Minnesota this fall, but, so far as the
national campaign is concerned, i
will continue its activities to the
states in which it already has a foot
hold.
If an independent national part,
should come into the fight with &
really progressive platform, he add
ed, "the farmers would rally to it,

BOARD
BONDS As BONUS
GESTED AS SOLUTION OF
BONUS PROBLEM

Louisville, May 10.-Shipping board
bonds for soldier and sailor veterans
of the world war are suggested as a
solution of the bonus question in a
letter written by Samuel H. McMee-
kin, commander, Jefferson post,
Louisville, to the executive commit
tee, American Legion, at Washington.
Mr.. McMeekin's letter suggested
financing the bonus through issuance
of interest-paying shipping board ship
bonds backed by several thousand
prOfit-earning shipping board vessels.
In support of his plan Mr.. McMee-
kin said it would afford immediate
financing of the bonus question with
out additional taxation as all interest
accruing on the ship bonds would be
earned by the ships. However, he
said, it would insure American own
ership and operation of vast mer-
chant marine. ~

SOUTH DAKOTA
SUFFERS FROM RAIN
REGION BETWEEN HURON AND
PIERRE SUFFERS LOSS

Sioux City, May 1O.-Between HUI
ron and Pierre, S. D., the wettest sea-
son in thirty years has been endured
by farmers and stock breeders, with
more or less losses resulting from the
prolonged meteorological conditions
of an unfavorable character.
This territory was covered in a
tour of South Dakota by M. King, of
the Western Terminal Elevator COM
pany, who upon his return yesterday
stated that the wheat acreage in that
state had been reduced and that of
corn considerably enlarged.
Cattlemen have been compelled to
pay the unusually high price of $45
ton for alfalfa hay in the region west
of Pierre and Belle Fourche. Short
age of feed has been SO pronounced
that some breeders have been COM
PEELED to have the sipments made by
express, said Mr.. King. Continuation
of the warm weather of yesterday for
number of days is expected to
check the retardation of the growth
of crops sown.
Cattleemn are reported discouraged
by the scarcity and stiff wage de-
mands of laborers, Mr.. King stated.
There is a gloomy outlook ahead for
breeders in the region of too much
rain and high cost of stock feed.
| However, a large majority of the
farmers of South Dakota are antici-
pating a normal crop yield in quality.
The financial situation in South
Dakota is far from being satisfactory.
Banks have already tightened up on
loans with resulting inconvenience
and losses to those denied their bank
ing accommodations at this time.
Seven carloads of automobiles de-
livered by the railways at Pierre and
four at Chamberlain were ordered re-
turned to the factories when they
came because the consignees were un-
able to negotiate loans at the banks,
Mr.. King was informed in his travels
through South Dakota.

TO REMOVE THE
YANKEE DEAD
BODIES OF SIXTY PER CENT TO
BE RETURNED TO THE
UNITED STATES

Paris, May 10.-Representative of
estimate that about 60 per cent of
the American soldiers buried in
France will be exhumed and taken
back to their native land. A little
more than 1900 American burials
have been registered by the graves
registration service and about 1900
of these are in France.
Not all fthese soldiers will be
returned to American soil, as the
United States war department pro-
poses to carry back to America only
those requested by their next of kin.
This policy will result in leaving in
France those whose next of kin re-
quest that they be left here and those
whose removal is not requested. 1t
is understood also that the unidenti-
fled American dead will be left in
France.
Decision by the Franco-American
commission that bodies of American
soldiers buried in the zone of military
operations may be exhumed any time
after September Is next, ends a long
period of negotiations between
French and American authorities.
he French government desired to
neet the wishes of the American ma
| ton, but entertained serious doubts
as to the advisability of removing the
American dead fro mthe zone OF
operations this year owing to labor
and transportation difficulties involv'
ing the passing of bodies over the
railways and highways at a time
when the French population was in
the first stage of it's recovery from
the economical and sentimental strair
of five years of war. The French
government feared that the grantins
of such permission to America would
bring on clamorous agitation from
other nations for similar permission
and this would hamper the rehabilta
ton of French industrial conditions
American officers, however, have
vigorously urged that the number O
Americans in the zone of operations
was relatively small; that the tradi
tional policy of the United States wa
to return it's dead from foreign sol
and that the American governmen
could do no less than heed the plea
of those next of kin who insisted tha
the bodies of relatives be returned t
their homes.

HIGH PRICES CHARGED
TO PROF|TEERS
RAILWAY BROTHERHOODS DE-
CLARE INCREASED LABOR
COSTS NOT THE CAUSE

Washington, d. c., May 10.-A
study of profiteering in American in
dustry, made under the auspices of
the railway brotherhoods, was pre-
sented today in support of the rail-
road workers demands for higher
pay and to refute the charge that in
creased labor costs are responsible
for the high cost of living.
Prepared by w. j. Lauck, former
secretary of the war labor board, the
study seeks to show that profiteer-
ing in industry is the fundamental
cause for high prices. 1t gives many
statistics to support that contention.
Calling attention to the many war
made millionaires, the study contend
ed that the increase in the wealth of
the wealthy is an "unanswerable'
refutation to all attempts to charge
labor with profiteering.
Mr.. Lauck submitted the following
general demands in the name of the
railroad workers:
/. Labor in general and railroad
workers in particular must have wage
increases proportionate to advances
In living costs.
2. In the present crisis and foI
all time to come, producers and mid.
dlemen must be restrained from ad-
vancing prices in excess of increases
in labor and material costs.
3. Producers and middlemer
must refrain from including income
and excess profits taxes in their costs
and passing them on the consumes
with an added profit.
4. The principle of living wag,
must be accepted and established il
order that normal production may b'
restored and increased production
hoped for in all fields of industry.

Chicago, May 10.--A committee of
forty-seven representing all branches
of grain production and marketing.
will be appointed to plan the handling
of the wheat crop and to take action
on the resumption of trading in wheat
futures after May 81, when the wheat
guaranty act expires, it was decided

At the same time committee of
sixteen composed of two representa-
tives to be appointed by each of the

AUTO SHOW WAS A
PRONOUNCED SUCCESS
BUSINESS MEN AND DEALERS
PROFIT BY FIRST EVENT OF
IT'S KIND in MADISON

Now that the Auto Show that was
held here on Saturday has passed in
to history it is a matter of business
to pause and reflect what material
benefit it was to the town.
Certain it is that the auto dealers
and related lines of business had at
that time a fine opportunity to do
some splendid advertising in their
particular lines. The exhibits them
selves attracted special attention and
some almost sold themseles without
the regular selling argument of those
in charge. Just one instance of the
value of such a show. The Parker
Auto company, as a result of Satur-
days event made the sale of three
tractors, three roadsters and one
truck. Doubtless other dealers in
automobiles and auto supplies did
equally well. Nor is this all the bene-
fit BY afternoon and along towards
evening the city began to fill up with
people who drove in to attend the big
dance and also to do their week end
buying. Merchants report a heavy
trade on Saturday and especially on
Saturday evening. Madison was well
patronized during the show.
The social side of the auto show
wound up in the dance held in the
spacious Raad garage. 1t was an
overflow crowd to say the least and
not till after midnight did the people
attending break away and leave for
home.
All concerned are pleased with the
success that has followed this city's
initial effort in showing up one of he1
big lines of business, namely, the
automobile business that has grown
so amazingly the past two years. Nc
display of the magnitude shown Sat
urday would have been possible eX'
cept for the commodious space of thF
new Raad garage. What Madiso
needs most next to a large new hote
is an auditorium big enough to ac
comm odate convention gatherings
mass meetings and shows such as was
held in this city on Saturday.

IMPORTANT WORK
EXTRA SESSION
SPECIAL MEETING LEi1SLATURE
WILL HAVE SEVERAL PROB
LENS FOR SOLUTION

Pierre, May 10.-One Of the mat
ters which will come before the spe-
cial session of the legislature is the
submission of constitutional amend
ment which will allow school dis
tricts to issue bonds at a higher rate
than five per cent.
The constitution at present places
this limit on all school district Sc
curities, and under present financial
conditions many of them fail to find
a market for securities bearing that
rate, and are compelled to hold up
proposed improvements.
The last legislature attempted to
increase rates, but the constitution is
a bar.
Legislative action will also be
asked in regard to other securities.
The interest rate Is limited by legis-
lative restrictions, and unless these
are changed many general issues OF
Improvement securities will not be
taken at present market rates.
Another proposition which may be
presented is that of state fund com
pensation insurance law, to supplan1
the present act, which provides fol
insurance through insuring com
panies.
The state fund states claims thai
they give protection to the employees
as adequate as any, and give the EN-
ployer a lower rate of premium fol
such insurance,
