The Fourth Annual Barnes Co1nty
Y. M. C. A. Camp closed a very sue
cessful session yesterday of ten days,
when the tents were taken down and
the boys went to their seve al homes.
The attendance was not as large as
last year, but the boys report that the
camp was just as good if MT better
than last years. There was over 20
boys and every minute of the time
was taken up from six in the NOR
ing until ten in the evening. This is
one of the biggest events for the boys
Of the county during the year and
more boys should take advantage of
this opportunity. Next year we
should plan on having two or three
ten days camps and the men in the
county that are interested in the well
fare of the boys should get behind
this summer. camp movement and see
to it that the enrolment is full. The
camp management tells Il. that there
will be some permanent camp sites
fixed up for next year, such as swim.

LABOR SITUATION
ANDCR0P SURVEY

Bismarck, N. D., July - Reports
from all points in North Dakota indi-
cate crop conditions are as favorable
as at any time in the past history of
the state. Also, the reports further
indicate that all sections of the state
are we'll supplied with moisture, CIV
ing the best insurance against any
probable droughth condition this sea-
son. "r de-. ..
It appears likely that many fields
of winter rye will be ready for har-
vesting by July 18th; oats, barley, and
wheat will then follow. Should the
present prospects continue, North Da-
kota will harvest one of the largest
crops in it's history.
There will be an active demand for
labor commencing about July /. The
U. S. Employment Service, operating
under the U. S. Employment Service
in establishing temporary labor agen-
cies to supply transient and other la
Dor as the, demand for such labor is
made. Mr.. George E. Tucker, field
representative in the Farm Labor Bu-
I:reau of the Federal Service, whose Of
flee is at Kansas City, Missouri, made
| a personal trip to the state recently
to size up the situation and make ar
engagements to aid the state office in
the labor agency work. The present
plans are to establish temporary Of
fices on or about July 18th at Cakes,
Grand Forks, Devils Lake, Minot and
Bismarck. The Federal-State En-
ployment Agency operating at'Fargo
will receive additional help during the
rush season.
The scale of wages for wheat har-
vest can hardly be approximated at
this time. The Fargo office reports
under date of June Oath that month
wages are still being offered at $4,000
per month and season wages at $40
and $45 per month, and that there is
an increased demand for farm labor
ers with present shortage of men to
fill orders; that there is continued
demand for domestics with wages of
fered from $500 to $1,000 week, and
orders for married couples at an av-
erage Of $40 per month where the wo-
man does general house work and the
man general farm work; that the Of
ficial reports fro mOklahoma and
Kansas show that the wheat harvest
is we'll started at those points with
wages offered at $500 to $500 per
day.

tons.
| Answering question which she her
self asks, "How shall North Dakota
meet her opportunity and obligation
in this regard 2" Mrs. Hollis says:
"First, North Dakota should pro-
vide more short unit courses for the
older groups of girls and women,
(evening schools).
"Second, North Dakota should pro-
vide for more part-tine schools or
classes for girls out of school but Of
school age.
''Third, North Dakota should pro-
vide courses of study in home-mak-
ing in every high school in the state
and two years of such work should
be required of every girl.
"Fourth, North Dakota elementary
schools and junior high schools should
offer home-making instruction in the
sixth, seventh and eighth grades,
since large majority Of the girls
leave school before entering high
school," ETH"
Teaching cooking and sewing do not
offer broad enough education for
the home-makers, Mrs. Hollis de-
clared. The course Of study should
also include home management and
care of children. The teachers should
be experienced in home activities,
trained in technical subjects to be
taught and trained in the presenta-
ition of their subject matter.
| Home-making is an expensive course
! to put into the schools, Mrs. Hollis
survey report says, and no state has
approached an adequate program for
|home-making education without ap-
|'propriating money for fostering home
economics teaching in day schools,
evening schools and part-time schools
| Mrs. Hollis draws comparison be-
tween, the amount of money devoted
| to agriculture and home-making and
points out from census figures that
there are one and one-eighth times as
many women engaged in home-mak-
ing as there are men and women far
mers, while there is 10 times as much
spent per farmer as per home maker
for educating people in the two voca
tons in North Dakota.
1T is not the purpose to show that
the state has appropriated cent too
much for agriculture, the report con-
cludes. However, when the state as
sumes an equal responsibility in the
education of home-makers and agri-
culturists, will it not mean a new dis
tinctive era of prosperity and well be-
ing? For if our civilization is built
ON agriculture, it is still more funda-
mentally on homes. Let North Dako-
ia continue it's. generous support of
agriculture but hasten the day when
home-making education will be ol.e of
this great states principle process

and from all reports the company
took we'll with those who were able to
get in to see it. Many people thought
there would be two shows but the per-

consequence many people were turned
away later in the evening. The show
was given in the Scandinavian Ian

much as those who did but the Scan
dinavians are loud in their praise of

the company will return to the city in

P. R, MIDNIGHT
FLYER DERALLS

Winslow Junction, July 3-8 per-
sons were killed, two others missing
and 81 holiday seekers seriously in
jured when the Midnight flyer of the
Philadelphia Reading express plunged
from the rails travelling at a high
rate of speed around curve here
early today. The bodies of the dead
were taken to the Campden Morgue
and the injured rushed to the Hamp-
ton hospital by relief train. r
The train was completely wrecked
and from the tangled wreckage it is
feared, over which the wrecking crew
is working frantically holds more vic
Tins. Many feet of yellow mud lies
beneath the train. The accident was
caused by the improper setting of the
switch.
The switch was set for a slow
,, freight train, and the flyer was trav-
cling at the rate of 70 miles per hour
The engine did not slow down for the
junction and took the switch, made q
leap and plowed go feet across the
ground, curling up in heap OF
wreckage. Relief trains were rushed
from Atlantic City and Campden and
carried Red Cross nurses and several
corps of physicians. The wrecking
train also carried cranes with which
to lift the rest of the wreck SO as tc
afford the rescuers better oppor-
tunity to assist the force of Red
| Cross nurses. ..., ...2-
