FARM HELP SUPPLY
NEARS THE DEMAND.

The farm help situation in Min
nesota is improving rapidly, accord
ing to j. D. Williams, Industrial
Commissioner. Mr.. Williams is in
charge of the free employment
agencies in ST. Paul and Mime
apolis and has been working in
close cooperation with the Mime
sofa Farm Bureau Federation and
the county farm bureaus to solve
the farm labor problem.
'Last week, for the first time
this year." says Mr.. Williams. eve
were able to fill all calls for farm
help. This is partly due, to an in
crease in the number of men who
are willing to work on farms and
partly to a decrease in the demand.
Farmers of the state are paying,
on an average $50 a month for sat-
isfactory help. This averages up
well with wages in the cities, be-
cause at this price men ge. their

At present, the Twin City offices
are sending out rs to 100 men
weekly. For the. season, 2316 men
have been sent to farmers of the
state. OF that number 1884 have
been reported placed.
Under the plan of operation, the

PROSPERITY.

We have all read in the papers
how F. E. White, president Of Arm
our & Company, started as poor
boy and worked his way to the top
of one of Americas great industrial
organizations. The American people
must learn that merely because
business is big is no indication that
it is undesirable. 1t must become
more difficult for political buc-
cancers to carry favor with their
constituents by attacking business
simply because it is big.
Mr.. White spoke the truth in a
recent address when he said: cit
would seem that the relationship be-
tween business and the nations
prosperity is so apparent that only
the feeble minded would fight bust
ness"
"There exists in our country a
class of short-sighted and long
haired individuals who seem 20 feel
that they were created especially
to combat anything that savors of
business, and the bigger the bust
ness the more zeal they show in
fighting it."
"The short-sightedness of this
policy is manifest in the increasing
number of laws calculated 30 hamp-
err individual and business progress
and to prevent outstanding CONNER
cial success such as we call big
business"

The recent term of court again

A sad feature of the frequent
visits of prohibition agents t o
Baudette is that when you ask for
ginger ale these days that's what
you get.
We are not insinuating that there
was perjury at the recent court

the pump was pretty close to the

Pioneer, "but don't let the flies eat

A lot of people would have voted
Monday if they had happened to
think it was election day.
Another thing that would help
this district would be for fewer
people to talk about work and
more do it.

GOOD ROADS TALK.

The influence of Good Roads =
Associated with the extraordinary
rapid development of the auto
mobile and the motor truck within
the last few years has come a
nationwide awakening to the nee
essity of good roads. Incidentally,
the building of good roads carries
with it a standard of higher living,
economic advancement, and growth
in educational and other depart
ments of life. The road which is
almost impossible in winter because
of unfathomable mud. is no longer
countenanced if there seems the
slightest possibility of lettering it.
On the other hand, the well-built
highway exercises an influence far
e in excess ppp b.
more than economic upon the COM
munity through which it runs, lift
ing the people literally out of ruts
of mental and social stagnation.-
Swift County Monitor.
Will Save in the Long Run. We
note that other counties in speaking
of their road expenditures take Rice
county as a basis for comparison.
1t is a merited compliment. Rice
county may well boast of its roads.
The expense may have been heavy,
but we have gotten results. Most
of our important roads will soon be
so far improved that surfacing will
be the only care they require.
When that time comes a few years
hence we may look for consider
able drop in road expenditures.
The initial cost of road construction
in Rice county is perhaps heavier
than in most counties on account of
the hilly nature of the country,
necessitating many expensive cuts
and fills. But when the main road
expenditure becomes maintenance,
our costs will be practically the
same as those of prairie counties.
Mortified Independent.
Road Taxes Going On-or Down.
Some day Minnesota roads will
all be adequately improved and the
only road expense will be that of
maintenance; then road taxes will
drop to the lowest level. How soon
that day will come plainly depends
on financial policies. States show
ing the most progress are those
which borrow funds when necessary
to improvements where repair costs
are excessive and besides the saw
ings, highway users gain by the
earlier use of the better road.-The

ate was a homeless man who had
lost both limbs. He was taught to
repair shoes and now is earning
500 per month. No longer sub
ject for charity, but an independent
producer.
Not only have those men been
given chance to learn a trade and
earn while doing so, but they have
repaired shoes which have been
sold to needy folks at very low
price, and best of all they carry in
their hearts spirit of Goodwill.
