Washington, ID. C.-To supply a
family of man, wife and three chill
dren with wages enough to subsist
on, plus "the elementary decencies
of life" $500 a year is needed in
cities of 100000 or over, and $1,000
a year in cities of less than $4,000,
according to the Rev. Francis J Haas,
Phi. D., professor in Marquette Uni
versity and ST. Francis Seminary,
Milwaukee.
Father Haas made this statement in
an address delivered at the annual
meeting held in Washington of the
National Conference of Catholic Char
tiles in which he urged scientific study
of the minimum quantities of COM
modities needed by family and the
establishment of a minimum wage be-
low which no family should be forced
to fall.
Evils of Low Wages
"The wages of the very low wage
groups are what they are" Father
| Haas said, because of the operations
of the forces of supply and demand.
AS result of this materialistic con-
ception of industry which leaves it's
impress on the home, morality, educa-
tion and recreation, we have the con-
ditions that are familiar to the social
worker. Illness and chroni sub
normal health are most prevalent
among low-wage families. Infant
mortality rates increase as the wages
of fathers decrease. The death rate
of adults and minors clearly rises as
the incomes of wage earners fall. The
only immediate corrective for these
evils is the universal payment of a
| given amount of wages that will def
nitely buy the commodities necessary
for father, mother and three depen-
| dent children"
A minimum family budget express
ed in the quantities of food, clothes,
room space and sundries must first be
ascertained, Father Haas said Such
a budget has been prepared by the
United States bureau of labor stats
tics and it is the same in its essen
tials as other budgets issued nation
ally and locally.
Must Ascertain Prices
To determine the cost of such q
budget in any city, Father Haas said
it is necessary only to find the prices
of the various foods, clothing, furni-
ture, housing, ETC., that are enumer-

All arrangements are practically
complete for Butler county's 18th big
annual fair, which throws open it's
gates to the public on next Tuesday
morning. All indications point to
this years fair being the greatest
ever held in the long history of the
Butler County Agricultural Society.
The Butler county fair is known by all
old fair followers to be the best and
biggest fair in the state outside Of
the state fair at Columbus each year,
and the fairs reputation is to be thor
oughly lived up to this year-espe-
cially so, if the efforts of the members
Of the board count for anything.
The board is made up of lot of
live, experienced men, many have
been on the board for years, and
these men have worked long and
faithfully that this years fair be a
! little better than any previous event
and that means their work is plainly
cut out for them, but there are no
shirkers on the board and when the
gates are opened next Tuesday the
people of Butler county when viewing
the annual show will find nothing has
been left undone by the members of
the board, and that their show is
nothing to be ashamed of.
Secretary M. d. Urmston opened
the Offices of the board in the court
house Thursday morning, and since
then there has been steady stream
Of exhibitors, privilege men, conces-
sionaires, stock and race horse men
pouring into the office Secretary
Urmston has a number Of old-time
men as assistants, some of whom have
been connected with the office many
years. They have had much expe-
rience in the work and are valuable
aids to Mr.. Urmston. These men are
all busy, working overtime to catch
up on the hundreds of entries mailed
in from distant points and being
brought in by local people. Secre
tary Urmston said Friday that in al
the long time he has been connected
with the office never have the entries

and high class the week before tht

ated in the quantity budget. The
prices should be secured in the neigh
borhood stores of the families whose
budgets are being considered.
The minimum family wage and the
scientific determination of how much
it costs to supply family with its
minimum budget are necessary,
Father Haas said, because there is
"a vast army of productive manual
laborers who are living definitely be-
low the living wage level" 1t is all
the more necessary, he continued, be-
cause thousands of skilled workers
are being drawn into the ranks Of
the unskilled every year through the
continuous perfection of automatic
machinery"
Would Have Wages Advance
81 do not mean that wages should
be held at the plane of the cost of liv
ing" Father Haas said in closing.
This would prevent any possible ad
vance in living standards for wage
earners. Professor Day, of Harvard,
states that in the period of 1899-1920
the total production of the country in
creased about twice as rapidly as our
population 1t can not be reasonably
denied that wage earners have a
right to share in this increased pro-
duct in the form of a progressively
higher standard Of living"

DWELLINGS INUNDATED
(By The ASsociated praas

Detroit, Mich, April 14.-Scores Of
families in the valley of the Huron
River between Flat Rock and Lake
Erie were driven from their homes
early today when the dam at the
power plant Of the Ford Motor Com
pany at Flat Rock burst and reieas-
ed millions Of gallons of water into
the valley.
More than 5000 acres are reported
under water, which is reported to
be twelve feet deep in some places
and steadily rising.
The valleys inhabitants were
warned Of the flood by troopers of
the Michigan state police as soon as
guards at the dam had tele ephoned
Of the break.
So rapidly did the water rise, Of
ficers were soon forced to take to
boats, going from house to house with
their warning, bearing scores of fam
lilies to places Of safety and sending
the men ahead in commandeered
boats to aid in the rescue work.
No lives have been lost, so far as
could be learned, although many
houses built below the level Of the
dam were inundated
Reports from various places along

Lake Erie indicate that the entire
valley, at some places a mile wide,
is under water.
Small barns, boat houses, wooden
farm implements, trees, bushes and
furniture were drifting down the
valley on a current running ten miles
an hour. The troopers reported see
ing chickens clinging to drifting
sheds, and once dog marooned atop
a small barn howled in fear as the
waves rocked and buffeted his raft
through the wreckage.
The break in the Ford Company's
dam followed the crumbling in of the
earth embankment that thanked the
new Detroit Edison Company at
French Landing, several miles above
Flat Rock yeste terday. The impound-
ed water of the six mile artificial
lake rushed through the break.
The dam, which is thirty-two feet
high, is built partly of concrete and
partly of earth. Engineers estimat-
ed today that already ten thousand
cubic feet of earth have been wash
ed away, while the river is beating
into the remaining earthwOrks ar!
engineers believe more will be swept
out. The new power station Of the
Edison Company was to have been
opened May l. The cost of the plant
was $75O,00O.

GREAT GRAIN
MARKET PLAN
OF GOVERNOR
S0rlie Expects to Make N. %.
Mill Big Factor in Wheat
Crop Marketing
WILL INSPECT GRAIN
Campaign of Education To
Advertise North Dakota
Spring Wheat
WILL INSPECT GRAIN

Governor A. G. Sorlie, who re.
turned to his office in the capitol
today after a business trip to Grand
Forks, plans to make the state mill
and elevator at Grand Forks big
factor in the marketing of North
Dakota's wheat crop.
Governor Sorlie alss' spent few
days in St. Paul and Minneapolis on
business in connection with the state
mill and elevator.
The governors plans, it is under
stood, include a campaign of educa'
tion to call the attention Of the flour
millers in the country, especially
those operating in the east and south
OF the twin cities, to the fact that
through the elevator at Grand Forks
milling mix" of straight hard
wheat may be obtained carrying
whatever gluten content may be de-
sired.
The hard spring wheat element will
be emphasized since it is believed
that this will be big point with the
milling trade as most Of the mixes
obtained contain a proportion of the
softer wheats.
At the same time North Dakota
grain producers will be urged to
market their wheat through the state
elevator on the ground that by SO
doing they may take advantage of
the inspection and testing facilities
which it is able to offer and thus
ct the benefit of the full gluten con-
tent of their wheat.
1t is to facilitate this campaign
that the governor is planning the es-
Establishment of grain exchange at
the state elevator. Both the mill
and elevator will hold memberships
on this exchange the mill for the pur-
pose of purchasing it's milling wheat
and the elevator for the carrying on
of it's general grain business as out
lined above.
For the time being at least it is
understood that the governor and
his advisors will center their efforts
on this campaign for the elevator and
that no radical changes will be made
in the present system of operation
Of the mill department.

STATE SCHOOL
AT BOTTINEAU
TO BE OPENED

Plans for the opening of the For
estry State Normal school at Bottin-
eau next September are being made
by the state board of administration.
The board is holding a meeting in
Bottneau today where preliminary
plans for the re-opening Of the insti-
tuition are being discussed.
The school was closed on July l,
1923 after Governor Nestos had ve-
toed the appropriations bill for the
school. The last legislature passed
another appropriations bill, which
Governor Sorlie signed.
No decision has been made as to
what courses will be offered by the
institution. That will depend upon
the money available and the wishes
of the people of Bottineau and vicin-
ity.
The new president and faculty for
the institution will need to be chosen
before it is re-opened in September.

residences in Fargo, reducing the
present rates to 20 percent, was
filed with the state railroad COM
mission by the Northern States Pow
er company yesterday.
4, The basis of making residence
rates would be changed to so-called

be as follows: First four kilowatt
hours per room per month 10 cents
per kilowatt hour; next four kildlvatt
hours eight cents; all in excess five
cents with discount of five per cent
if paid by the tenth of each month.
The new rate would, according to
