Yesterday the Bismarck! office had caught up with the demand. : Harvest is in full swing now and the demand for labor will probably be at its highest this week. The federal department has men stationed in Du-} luth and Minneapolis to direct work- ers to North Dakota and other fields, | and with available state workers ana others following the harvest from South to-North Dakota it is believed; that the demand can be met.

Mr. Jones expressed belief that the government was getting value receiv- ed for money spent on employment service in North Dakota. He praise‘! the Fargo office as one of the best in| the country and said that if Congress had made the appropriation large enough he would like to enlarge the employment service greatly in North Dakota, as he felt much good was be- ing accomplished. | i | EDISON REBELS i ;parts for classification and separate!
