Halliday, director of publicity, this morning. “Three hun- dred thousand acres in ‘!a.x, with pros- pects of a bumper flax crop, will mean a big yield‘of seed which is now one of Uncle Sam’s most import- ant wah necessities. The council has decreed that all of this land must be cropped before June 15, and it will mean some mighty quick work if it is all placed under cultivation, but everyone who has taken a lease to date has seemed confident that he could get the seed in before the limit spires.” The 300,000 acres * ich ap- plications now. are. be! idered is all-new land, which wil! woken for the first time this year, and which next ‘year should }e in position to add six million’ bustfe!s or more to WORKERS 60 OUT ‘ON WAGE STRIKE Moline, Ill, (May: 31=More than .1,. 800 men employed in the Silvis shops of the Rock Island road walked out at noon today .to. enfercé a demand to Director General MeRdoo for revisiay: of the recent wage award.

DRIVE FOR BIG RESERVE SUPPLY OF FARM LABOR Campaign for 50,000 Men’ to vest Begins Next Week HIGH WAGES TO PREVAIL North Dakota's big. farm labor drive which will be relied upon to furnish help for the harvesting of the greatest wheat crop this state has ever known will be launched next week ‘by John B.: | Browf, United States farm help specialist, in the of- fice of Conmissioner of Agriculture land Labor Hagan. Mr. Brown is writing the chairman of each county council of defense asking that he recommend a substan- tial farmer to be chairman of the U. S, farm labor resgsve committee tin his county. Each cdllnty reserve chair- man will name his own county com- mittee, to consist of a banker, a mer- chant and a farmer, and this com mittee in turn will name a sub com mittee in each municipality, to which ing farm help. Signing up for, this work will be entirely voluntary upon the part of jthe city people, ‘but with the spirit now prevailing in North Dakota no difficulty in obtaining all the assist- ance necessary is anticipated. It is Mr. Brown's opinion that to be pre pared for all possible contingencies, North bakota*must have a farm labor reserve of at least 50,000, These met will sign a nagreement to work a tain number of days in thelr own 1 calities al going wages. They wil! be called upon only if and as needed, those in the more non-essential trades and profession wil be given the first opportunity to help. . Kansas starts out its harvest se: son. with fora ten-hour day yailing ‘wage. It is predicted that 46 wil be the standard wage for harvest hands in ‘North Dakota, and this sti- pend, or whatever the standard may he, will be, paid the volunteer help- ers. It is expected that there will be more cooperation among the farmeis themselves .than in former. years; that neighbors wil pitch in and help one another with the haryest to a greater degree than has been custom ary in the past. This can ‘be done, be- cause as a rule all the fields, even in one community, do not ripen at the same time. There is no lagk of thresh- ing rigs and other equipment. Man- rower is the ebig demand, and this Farm Help Sp cialist Brown hopes to supply through his federal farm labor, reserve. } £ LONDON PRESS “CALLS POINTS TO FRANCE’S SPIRIT London, May 31—The Times refers to the German offensive as increasing- ly formidable, and after discussing the seriousness of the menace it points to the fine spirit in which the French ‘re meeting the enemy’s blows. They recall, says the newspaper that they have lived through far -darker days and in the end have invariably defeat- ed the invaders, x Alluding to the smashing by the Americans of the. German \ attack “Our allies know the significance of that as well as we do. So do the German generals.” The loss of Soissons was announced at too late an hour to develop much comment in the morning newspapers. “The loss in itself,” says the Times, “ig not of military importance, but the enemy is now on, the high road which passes through Villers-Cotte- rets, about 45.miles from Paris.” On the other hand, in an article written before the abandonment of Soissons was announced, the Chron- fcle says: 7 “The 1038 of Soissons would have a strategic consequence at its trans; fer to the Germans would increase the advantage they enjoy over Gener: al Foch, in respect of facilities of shifting the weight in their blow from one side io the other.” The commentatots point to the pos- sibility of the lossof Rheims also. as the. unofficial renorts, at least. show that it was held surrounded by the Germans, who were firthy at its de- fenders from three sides. . iestt, “The further retention of the town, says The Chronicle, “will be difficult, and it may have to be abandoned.” BIDS ON NEW-SCIENCE HALL OPENED JUNE 22 Fargo, N.
