The City of Dauid

Prof. X. A. $. Macallster, describing
recently the work carried on on the
eastern hills to the south of jerusalem,
said that there was undoubted evil
dence Of the occupation of the site by
men of prehistoric time. They had,
however, discovered the bottom por-
tions Of the walls Of the city that
David had taken from the Jebusltes.
Although It was not wise to theorlze
before the work was completed, they
had found indications that pointed to
a spot in the northern wall being that
which David preached when he took
the CITY, subsequently screened with
vail that he built to cover the damage
Ind finally properly repaired by Solo
mon.
A strong bastion, with walls over
twelve feet thick, indicated that II
might be the tower from which the
Jebusites Knocked David, saying that
only blind men and eripples would
be necessary to hold the walls
against him. The excavations also
had brought to light other things
which illustrated or amplified Biblical
references to David. The work was
as yet far from complete, only about
nm acre Of ground having been taken,
but sufficient had been done to show
very attractive possibilities in Its com
pletion.

MAY We HAVE LIGHT?

Why do candidates for
political office often strad-
die or evade outstanding
political questions which
they may be called upon
to deal with if elected
Do they straddle in order
to lead the voters to be-
lieve that they are on
either side of the question
according to the convic-
ton of the voter, thus
hoping to get votes from
those on both sides of the
question? Do they evade
clearly stating their stand
on questions because of
fear of alternating the sup
port of those who believe
differently?
What is the philosophy
of a candidate for con-
gress who will say that the
wet and dry question is
not an issue, when in the
session of congress closed

were introduced, and

GOOD NEWS FROM DAKOTA

The North Dakota Free Employ
ment agency, working In co-opera-
ton with the Federal Department
OF Labor, sends out the highly sig
nificant and encouraging news that
the North Dakota harvest will re-
quire the services OF $4,000 men,
over and above the men now en-
ployed on the farm of that state.
The need will begin to be felt about
week hence, when haying starts.
and will be increased as haying
gives way to winter rye and barley
cutting, and will be at its peak
when the binders 90 into the wheat
fields about the nst of this month.
But the need for men is not en-.
tirely of the nomadic sort of labor
which beginning at Texas sweeps
northward through Oklahoma,
Kansas, Nebraska and South Da-
kota with the ripening grain
Right now there is demand for
farm labor for cultivating corn,
potatoes and in caring for alfalfa
hay. And farmers are offering
good wages. The man who wants
a steady job can go today and get
one that will last him till snow
puts muffler on the hum of the
thresher.
1t sounds like the good old
times" to hear North Dakota's
voice raised in call for farm la
tor. There evidently is truth in
the tales We have been having of a
splendid crop in prospect Men do
not ask for help to harvest a thin
yield. nor can they afford to pay
good wages. Contributary to this
cheerfulness is the bulldog grip
with which the wheat price clings
to $3.50 for December and the cor
responding rising levels of oats,
barley and rye, with corn lifting
it's tasseled head in the regal dig
nifty of nearly $1.00. Not only is
there work for many, big crop in
prospect but "a sfairer price than

This means much to the farmer
and just as much to the cities that |
supply him. Business in st. Paul

for $4,000 men merely to act as
