tanning to real estate.
Regard to Standing.
1t should be borne in mind In connec-
tion with admitting property owners and
certain classes Of business men affiliated
with the real estate field, the committee
remarked. that proposed members, under
this provision, should be carefully scruti-
nized. as it is not the intention to admit
any one who happens to own real estate.
nor is 1t intended that every business
man whose work Is somewhat allied to
real estate be admitted without due re-
gard to his character and general stand
ing in the community. 1t was suggested
that industries and professions which
might contribute such associate men,
bers includes contracting. architectural
and building material equipment and
supply firms. etc.
The board approved the recommended

tate editors Of the local newspapers

'nual encampment Of the corps was
held ear the forests, east Of Duluth.
While observing maneuvers Of the
tanks one afternoon. Captain Moerke
noticed that the steel monsters bat
tered their way through thickets
where large trees grew. Stubborn
offensive work against these trees and
success Of making roadways through
the wooded places, prompted he Of
dcer to make a special test.
Following this he interviewed for
estry officials and planned a demon
stration. 1t was said, unof1cially,
that all of the forestry men present
approved Of the tanks work. and ex-
pressed the belief that valuable aid
could be rendered by the corps dur
ing forest fire periods.
One Of the greatest handicaps to
fire fighters in some sections of the
forest is the problem Of penetrating
heavily wooded areas where fires
often rage, it was asserted. With the
tank brought into use, paths may be
battered through the woods and lines
OF communication established, thereby
greatly facilitating, offensive work
against the flames. In the matter Of
making fire breaks the tanks could
be used tn advantage. it was said: v

ties higher up think of the scheme has

Plans For
Russian Trade Are
Declared Defeated

Glasgow. Scotland. Oct. 13.--British
plans for trading with Russia have
been defeated, it was, declared by Sir
Robert Stevenson Horne. chancellor
of exchequer. in an address here last
night. He said that this was partly
the result Of the Russian famine, and
could be attributed in some measure
to the fact hat "the Russian ex.
tremists have been more anxious to
spend their gold in propaganda, than
in buying goods"
Sir Robert disclaimed lack of SYM
pathy for Russia and asserted he had
tested the loyalty Of some Of his
friends by concluding the trade agree
ment with the soviet government. He
added he was prepared to defend that
agreement because he believed the
world would never recover until Rus.
STA was again producing grain. and
also because he believed the best way
to break down Bolshevism. would be
to penetrate Russia with honest

AVERAGE WAGES
FOR A r HELP
HAVE DECREASED

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 13.-Average
monthly wages being paid farm la
borers in Minnesota for general work
have declined 16 per cent since the
beginning Of the 1921 harvest season,
according to figures compiled today
by the Minnesota Farm Bureau led
Grafton.
The federation's figures were based
on reports sent in by county farm bu-
reaus in the fifth statewide farm
labor survey conducted by the organi-
cation this year. Comparison of farm
wages now with those prevailing at
the beginning of the harvest season
does not taxi into the rela-
lively high wages paid especially for
harvest labor, but is based on normal
wages paid for general farm work,
federation officers said.
The wage survey showed that in
many counties, Minnesota farmers
are paying as high as FIVE cents a
bushel for the picking of corr which
they have to sell at 80 to IS cents a
bushel, officials declared.
The returns from the first Al coun-
ties to report show the following
average rates of pay now in effect for
farm labor in the state. \
General work-$34 a month and
board for permanent help, and $1.98
a day for labor.

Two months g. a similar survey
by the federation showed that the
farmers were paying an average Of
SAL a month for, general farm work.
In at least one-third of the agricul-
tural counties in Minnesota, farm bu-
reau officers said today, farmers are
now paying less than the $34 average.
OF the first Al counties to report in
the latest survey, 16 declared $50 to
be the prevailing wage. while four
others set it as low as $25. Eleven
counties reporting $40 az the prevail
ing scale, brought the average up. it
was said. ~
The survey also indicated a re-.
duced demand for farm help, accord
ing to federation officials. The pre-
ceding inquiry showed a normal de-
mand in more than so per cent of
the agricultural counties. while only
20 per cent reported a small demand
