If the Frenchman was allowed to do the work, then he could draw the wages; but with em- ployment transferred to others he will starve.” There is a slight fallacy in this argument. If there was only a limited amount of workto be done in France, it might seem plausible, but the trouble in that country is a scarcity of men—not the jobs. It is essentially an agricultural country, and the fields of grain are rotting away for lack of harvest hands. Almost every square foot which would produce any- thing has been planted, and the crops are going.to ruin. If every man, woman and child lent a hand in the figlds, the situation-could not be saved:at this date. And France must keep up a large army to provide a human bulwark against Ger- man military ambition where the-demobilization of the British and American armies leaves the rampart unguarded. The theorists need not worry about the French working- man’s job. He has all the job he needs for the next fifty years. _ WHEAT ENEMY FIGHTS STEALTHILY The common barberry made war on the grains of Minne-| sota’s farmers this summer from hidden places. The black stem rust of wheat appeared and the government and state agents working from University farm, who have been carrying on a campaign for the eradication of the common barberry plant which distributes the spores which cause the rust, traced many of the infections of this summer to barberry plants grow- ing wild in the woods of the state. Barberry scouts found this year more than 14,000 plants. Of these, 9,700 have been found in the country and 6,100 grow- ing wild. Wild specimens of the common barberry have been found in fifteen counties. It is'believed that much of the rust infection this year is spread from the common barberry plants ambushed in the woods. untold memories. for you. : JOIN THE BEMIDJI ASSOCIATION Today is the first day of the drive for new memberships in the Bemidji Civic & Commerce association, and again we de- sire to reiterate our urging that no one who has the best in- terests of Bemidji at heart can afford not to be’a member of this organization. It makes no difference what your calling may be, wheéther you are in business or a wage earner, wear a boiled shirt or a pair of overalls while making a living for the good wife and children in the house one is making payments on. The man doing that is the right kind of member being sought by the asso- ciation and frequently he is one of the livest boosters in the best interests of his community. The membership fee has been eliminated from the re-or- ganization and dues are only $10 per year, payable in Septem- ber and the remainder next six: months later, if desired, and it is well worth it to be identified 'with those who are determined to aid in the advancement and improvement of their home city. Large numbers of citizens are expected to join the associa- tion and with all walks of life included, every movement.for betterment of the entire city will be successful. Join the association when asked. If you are not seen your name will be heartily welcome. Don’t stand: upon ceremony. Get in the game. If you haven’t invested in the war doughnuts before now, be sure to do so. If you don’t-feel like investing, go to the gas company’s office ’and be served with doughnuts and coffee. You have until 7 o’clock tonight. It’s for the home service of the Salvation Army, you know. 0 In the United States the number of days of elementary schoolipg a child receives may vary from 984 days to 1553 days according to thestate where he resides.
