"BISMARCK: DAILY.’ ARMY. OF 200,000 HARVEST HANDS NEED OF KANSAS Immense Amount of Labor Re- quired by Sunflower State to Reap Big Crop Kansas,City, Mo., May 26.—An army of more than 200,000 men will be re- quired to harvest the glant wheat crop in Kansas this year, according to A. L. Barkman, director of harvest. work, Uunted .States Employment service. Sixty thousand of this number must come from outside the state, In making the estimate, he referred to the report of the Kansas Board of Agriculture, issued “last month, which said that “with a general aver- huge condition of 99.32 per cent on an estimated total of 10,759,000 acres of growing winter wheal, Kansas never had a more flattering prospect for a record smashing crop.” The harvest labor problem in Kan- sas is more difficult than in any other state and 47,000 posters have been dis- tributed among government. buildings throughout the nation. While 500 let- ters a day are received here from prospective workers, Barkman said many who write will not come, and that most careful distribution will be necessary to prevent a labor short: age. ‘| Wheat cutting usually starts in the south central counties of Kansas about June 15 to 20, reachirg the cen- tral part of the state ten days later. The demand for men increases as the harvest district broadens. “Men should, if pogsible, provide themselves with sufficient funds to tide them over for a few days in case of rains.or unavoidable delays in se- curing. work,” said Barkman. “The harvest fields do not offer light work and the sun is often exceedingly hot. Therefore, boys and men who are un- used to. heavy work are handicapped in securing employment in competi: tion with able-bodied experienced men.” Missouri can care for its big wheat crop with local labor, Barkman said. Nebraska and states north will be sup- plied with harvest labor by the drift of men from Kansas, if that state, the center of the wheat belt, has a sugfi- cient supply. 4 BAD BEAVERS CALL DOWN CONDEMNATION Minneapolis, Minn., May 26—De- structive tactics of beavers in North- ern Michigan, Minnesota and South Dakota have caused settlers in out- lying districts to urge state game offi- cials to permit trappers and hunters to reduce. the, number ,of these ‘fur bearing animiils:/* Hach state has been attempting to regulate its: beaver pro- tection laws so that. killing. of the animals may be permissable when the colonies become too. large, Reports from Hancock} Mich., Du- luth»and Brainerd, Minn,, and Lead and Deadwood, in the South Dakota Black Hills, indicate that the beavers are busily .engaged in their spring dam building campaigns, They re- cently constructed a dam within the Duluth city limits. “Officials investi- gating. the sudden disappearance of THEY DON'T.

It’s Ré-Designed. From One of the “Ready-Cut Houses” You Buy by Mail. i . BY AYMAR EMBURY II. America's. most famous small- house architect is drawing de- signs of houses especially for Bismarck Tribune readers. This is his ‘sixth. Many people have come to belieye that they can buy the so-called “ready- cut house” cheaper than by poing to an-architect and with just as good re- sults, It is therefore’ interesting to see how-the architects hayé’ re-design- ed one of these stock: houses. If you will consult the plan shown you will see ‘an entirely liveable layout and one that with only one or two exceptions remains as shown in a popular cata- Togue. The length of the living ‘room ran the other way and the porch was across the front, The result, was com- monplace and the detail extremely bad. In the redesigned house the same simplicity of construction has been retained except for .the small hip roof over the living room projec- which adds greatly to the expense and on the other! hand make an enormous difference ‘in the apeparance, While the rooms are small they are large enough for comfort and are con- siderably largér than the average apartment house rooms. The dining room could be ‘used’ as an additional bedroom by using the living room for a dining room also, ‘The steep pitch of the roof provides sufficient storage which could be reached by ‘counter- balanced staired in the cejling of the passage. ich Only the-front part of the porch is a pergola as the part nearest the house is covered by the roof of the main house.
