Demand for Farm
Help Decreases

Demand for farm help in Minnesota
has fallen off about so per cent with
in the last month, according to Hugh
Jennings, director of the federal en-
ployment service, Minneapolis.
There is practically no call for farm
hands from the southern part of the
state, he added. Nearly all orders re-
ceived are from the central and north
western parts. Several orders have
been received from farmers near
Moorhead, where S35 month and
$3.50 day are offered. Orders are
impossible to fill at these wages, Mr..
Jennings said In most sections
wages range from $40 to $55 month.
Very little demand for city labor,
skilled or unskilled, exists, according
to Mr.. Jennings. This has been the
case all spring, though the situation
has improved slightly within the last
month. The wages in the city aver
age 40 cents an hour. There is prac-
tically no demand for office help.

Gasoline Prices
Should Decline
Cleveland Leader.

Cleveland Leader.
The price of crude oil, from which
your gasoline is made, has been cut
in two. But you haven't noticed any
such drop in the price of gasoline.
Here and there the refners have lop-
ped off cent or two, but in the main
you are paying the old high prices.
Three months ago, refners and pipe
line companies were paying oil pro-
ducers $610 barrel for Pennsylvania
crude. This price has dropped to So
a barrel.
The price of all other gasoline pro-
ducing crude has dropped correspond
ingly, with the exception of California
oil, the price of which has been given
backbone by the possibility of a mild
oil and gasoline shortage in Pacific
Coast states.
The refners say they can't cut gaso-
line prices until they git rid of huge
oil stocks bought at high prices. But
stocks of crude oil on hand in the
United States Jan. 1, 1921, totaled
only 137,OOO,OOO barrels, according to
the American Petroleum Institute.
That was less than four months
supply and is practically used up now.
When crude Oil prices collapsed, the
huge tankage in the middle west was
nearly empty. Refners and pipe line
companies are now filling up their
tankage with cheap oil-which means
cheaper cost gasoline.
Stocks of gasoline on hand are less
than a three months supply. But no
danger of shortage. The oil market
is glutted. Thousands of oil wells are
closed down-not being pumped be-
cause the pipe line companies say they
can't take all the production.
Gasoline, according to veteran oil
producers, should now be selling for
an average of not more than Is cents
gallon. Some oil men say IA cents
would yield the refners snug profits.
Americans in 1920 consumed 4,256,-
428, 900 gallons of gasoline.

Nevada's Haunted Cell,

Philadelphia Public Ledger: 1t was
thought that Poe had touched ultimate
horror in "The Pit and the Pendulum"
But Poe's height of terror was no
more than a great swinging blade
that crept nearer, bottomless pit and
fiery walls that closed in upon the
victim.
What manner of man can retain a
CLEAN of reason in Nevada's gas cell :?
What manner of man will ever sleep,
other than the sleep that precedes
death from exhaustion? How many
deaths will he die before he dies that
death that the court has ordered and
the law approved?

| Lessons of Mike
Dowling's Life

Michael j. Bowling won wide and
deserved fame as man in whom will
power combined with natural ability
had won victory over tremendous
physical handicaps. When man has
this indomitable quality, he is bound
to go far. Witness, for example, the
activities in national politics of men
who have lost their sight.
Mr.. Bowling at the age of fourteen
lost both legs below the knees and
both hands in blizzard. Orphaned
and helpless, he became county
charge. Many lad overwhelmed by
such misfortunes, would have given
up, content to drift with the current.
Not so Michael Bowling. With his
strong determination to make the
most of life despite his handicaps, he
obtained an education, fought his way
upward and won a high place in his
community and State.
After the Armistice, he went to
England at the invitation of the
British Government and lectured to
the wounded on rehabilitation pro-
blems. Of late he had been touring
this Country doing similar work Tor
the men who were crippled in the War.
| His presence and evident success in
life were the best of evidence to these
men that they had no real reason for
despair.
TO men of strong determination
handicaps are stimulating. Some
times such obstacles actually seem to
be blessings in disguise. They tend
to arouse latent energies.
Mr.. Bowling won his way in the
world despite his handicaps. It is
possible that he actually made them
serve him. The great thing, after
all, is to develop the latent energies
and determinations that push one
along over obstacles if they arise, but

A Kittson county farmer, who says
he knows chinch bugs when he sees
them, because he once farmed in
Iowa where they had them a-plenty
reports to the state entomologist
through his county agent that he
found lots of these bugs while plow-
ing last fall. While there has been
no authentic report, says the state
entomologist, of the presence of
chinch bugs in this state for the last
ten years, he advises farmers to be
on the lookout for the pests and to
take no chances. Chinch bugs winter
in punches of grass, leaves and field
litter of most any sort. Flowing in
the fall helps to keep them down.
Hedges, fences and the edges of wood
lands should be clear of trash and
rubbish in the spring, and, when pos
sible, the torch should be applied.
Bugs killed now may prevent the
production of armies of them when
the warm days come.

Roll Up Your Sleeves.

Do you want to succeed?
Then roll up your sleeves!
Success never comes.
To a mortal who grieves
Over chances once lost.
q The royal high-road
Which winds over hills
To the envied abode
Of the gods, is the way
Up which courage achieves,
Not by dream nor by luck,
But by rolling up sleeves!
Do you want to be wise?
Then roll up your sleeves?
IT'S the lone midnight lamp
Whose shining retrieves
From the dark ways of error
The star-points of Truth
And frees the high soul
From it's perils uncouth.
The temple Of Wisdom
Is found not by thieves,
But by stumbling plodders,
Who roll up their sleeves.
Do you want to be loved?
Well, roll up your sleeves!
| Love flows back to him
Whose loving relieves
From sin or from sorrow
The bond-slaves Of fear.
Though the world still has crosses
For those it holds dear;
| At last it loves most
Those from whom it receives.
All it's canonized saviours,
First rolled up their sleeves.
| Rev. J. w. Holland.

a view Of Grant just as different from
the prevailing contemporary judg-

as to Johnson has been ascribable
largely to the acquisition of his letters

 MANY AND VARIED
Week-End Turns Out Usual Grist

 Many Complications.
 The case of Nick Clementino, charg- ed with the theft of $175 from his roommate. August Eolli, proved to be a most complicated one. as a re- suit of which the judge ordered the matter continued for four days to al- low an investigation. Since the evil dence introduced tended to show the accused not guilty beyond reasona ble doubt, no bonds were required of him. He denied any knowledge of the theft, although a considerable amount of money was found in a suit case that was in his care.
 Eolli reported to the police this morning that SITS had been taken from his pocket during the night. Pa trolman William P. McCue was detaiis ed at headquarters to make an inves- tlgation of the circumstances sur rounding the loss. He questioned both parties Eolli said he left $2is together with a check for $2.oo0 in his pocket last evening about 5:3o be- fore retiring. His roommate came in about II o'clock and went to bed. At 6:20 this morning Eolli dressed and upon examining the contents of the purse found only the check remain ing. He suspected clementino of the theft since ho was the only other man the room According to his story. he told Nick to remain in the room while he went for a policeman, which the accused did without objec- ton. He explained to the court that, since he had done nothing wrong, he saw no reason why he should fec from the police. When the complain ant returned with the police. he found Clementino fully dressed and waiting their arrival.
 Find $175 in Room
 Policeman Mccue questioned the accused who stoutly denied having taking the money. A search of his personal belongings banned out slightly more than &2. The policeman then took a suitcase down from the shelf and found SITS in it. Asked for an explanation, Ciementino said his brother left the box in the room moro than three months ago. asking that he take care of it until he returned to the city. He had never opened the suit-case, the accused said. since he was aware that anything of value was nQntatned therein. Besides the money.
