DEMAND GROWS FOR FARM HELP Labor Conditions Throughout North Dakota Are Satis- factory General labor conditions through- out North Dakota are satisfactory, according ta the July labor report, issued today by the U. S. depart- ment of labor employment service. There was a noticeable increase in the demand for farm help during the month, the report said, but plenty of this class of labor is available. Rail- roads are utilizing many unskilled workers for construction and main- tenance work. Heavy harvest labor demands are anticipated within the next few weeks. Meat-packing plants and other leading manufac- t turers are employing normal forces. Lignite coal mines are scasonally inactive. A brisk demand for farm help is noticeable at Fargo, the report said. Harvest requirements in the next few weeks are expected to utilize all available workers. Local manufac- turers are operating at normal, and building is fairly active. Grand Forks reported that building is fairly active, with resident crafts- men busy. A new main building for the University of North Dakota, three or four fraternity houses, a parochial school, apartment houses, and a number of residences are un- cer construction. There is a sharp demand for general farm labor. “Employment conditions in Min- nesota showed substantial improve- ment during July, especially with regard to unskilled labor,” the re- «port said. “This class was in heavy demand to meet agricultural require- ments and for railroad construction and maintenance Eitsster Heavy calls for harvest labor from the Da- kotas are expected in August. Pres- ent indications are that no great difficulty will be experienced in ' meeting the demands. Iron mining q is slightly more active than pre- viously, and somewhat better em- ployment is noticed in railroad shops, “Employment conditions through- out South Dakota showed vercep- tible improvement during the month, a the surplus of unskilled workers hav- ing largely disappeared, due to brisk calls for general farm laborers, Crop conditions point to heavy de- mands for harvest labor soon after August 1. Local industries sh little change, compared with the previous month, and plenty of build- ing tradesmen are available.” LOST STUDENTS SAFE IN WILDS Regina, Sask., August 15.—(AP) —The John D. Fuller expedition of student geologists from Iowa, miss- ing for some time, is safe, said word received here today. The stu- dent with new equipment and prot ns for the trial, have taken a new and shorter route to Hudson Bay, their goal. Keep Paramount Issue in Mind, Is Johnson’s Advice to State Vote Fargo, August 15.—(@)—-It is the duty of citizens of North Dakota to keep in mind that the paramount issue in the forthcoming presiden- tial campaign is farm relief and “outlook for real farm relief never was more hopeful” stated Roy John- son, Casselton, master farmer and member of United States Supreme Court, in an address here today. Mr. Johnson pointed out that the time is opportune to push a farm relief program, adding that busi- ness leaders of the nation are united in interest, in agricultural problems. Criminal Law Applies to Drivers of Motors Without 1928 License Persons operating automobiles ‘a without 1928 licenses are subject to i criminal presecution, Attorney Gen- eral George F. Shafer has told John C. Pollock, state’s attorney of Cass county, in answer to a query on the i subject. Shafer held that the provision of law whereby persons applying for licenses after March 15 must pay a penalty does not mean that they are exempt from criminal prosecution. The additional charge is in the na- ture of a delinqvency tax, he said, and does not affect application of the criminal statute, Pollock had asked if the penalty « provision did not abrogate that sec- “tion of the law which makes violat- ors subject to criminal prosecution. Pacific Flight Hero Takes Loss Rather Than Cheapen Name Paris Hill, Maine, Aug. 15.—(”)— That Captain Harry Lyon, navigator of the monoplane Southern Cross, will return to his home here under a $56,000 financial loss, $6,000 of it actual and $50,000 potential, was dis- closed here today.

WET AND DRY DISTRICTS INDICATE POLITICAL LINE-UP IN KENTUCKY (This is the fifth of a series of articles on the political situa- tions in the various states.) ss Louisville, Ky., Aug. 15.—(AP)— Talk politics in Kentucky, and ask whether the Blue Grass common- wealth will go for Snith or Hoover, and you will find yourself at times swung away from the two national candidates and led through a bewil- dering maze of local issues. Hoover and Smith are both popular in Kentucky, and it is a coincidence that Hoover's appeal—his cndorse- ment of prohibition and his flood re- lief work—tend to have their great- est effect in western Kentucky, where the Democratic majorities are regular. Aside from Smith's other vote-winning qualitics, his stand on rohibition is most appealing in the publican strongholds — the big cities, where the Volstead act is not so popular. Kentucky is normally Democratic in national politics. Coolidge was the first Republican to carry the state since McKinley won it, and un- doubtedly the elder La Follette’s 38,000 votes in 1924 put Coolidge across.in the Blue Grass, just as Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner, Ken- tuckian, running on the Palmer- Buckner gold money ticket in 1896, kept Bryan from getting the state’s electoral vote. In considering the possibilities, however, there is always to be re- membered the fact that in the last | twenty years Kentucky has been equally divided between Democratic and Republican governors, although the legislature has nearly always been Democrati The G. O. P. in Kentucky, rank and file as well as leaders, is en- thusiastic for Herbert Hoover, and has been since before his nomination. Republican leaders will tell you that | the Democratic party is suffering from the wounds of last year’s pri- mary and cannot win this year un- less the two factions unite and work wholeheartedly together for Gov- ernor Smith. The Democrats, many of them at least, admit the necessity for harmony, but they say much of the talk of a split is Republican propaganda. . The unsettled situation in Demo- cratic ranks last year developed over horse racing, or rather, the question of legalized betting on racing. It was the big issue in 1927, when J. C. W. Beckham, a former governor and senator, was hauled from _po- litical retirement and put to the fore as the Democratic candidate for gov- ernor. He defeated Robert T. Crewe, friendly to the pari-mutuel system, in the primary, but lost the election to Judge Flem D. Sampson, the Re- publican nominee, who had said little when their automobile got out of control and overturned on a hill near Monroe, Wis., today. Miss Atherton died later in a hospital. Three other persons in the car escaped injury. Shafer Heads Local Kiwanis Good Will . Trip to Carrington Twenty-five members of the Bis- marck Kiwanis club, headed by President George F. Shafer, left this afternoon for Carrington. They will meet with Kiwanians of that city to- | he; night. John Burke, judge of the state supreme court, will speak at tonight’s meeting. Macon Floods Drive Residents from Home Macon, Ga., August 15.—(AP)— A score of residences in East Macon were flooded today when the Comul- gee river, rapidly swelling from torrential rains, invaded low sec- tions of the city. Boats were employed to salvage household goods. The weather bureau predicted a flood stage of 25 feet which would inundate many more homes. Heavy rains continued falling j| this afternoon. Two McLean Cities Have Grain Testers Moisture testers are being in- stalled in nearly every elevator at Garrison and Turtle Lake for test- ing wheat that has becn threshed combine harvester-threshers, ac- about race tracks and more about free school textbooks and progress. The Democrats won every other state-wide elective office. When the national candidates were ‘nominated Republicans went to work jat once under the able leadership of | Representative Robison, as Hoover's {campaign manager, and Democratic |leaders started in, first to determine how much credence should be given ‘to the talk of dissension, and second to put an end to whatever dissension there was. Mecting here August 7, they selected Senator Alben W. Barkley as chairman of the state campaign committee, and — ed Vigo Barnes, staunch prohibi as director of permanent org ‘tion, Both come from the western part of the state, where proh feeling is strongest in Kentucky. |The meeting, outwardly at least, | showed no signs of dissension which opponents of the party had hoped would develop. Sentiment in Kentucky has not yet crystallized, but there are certain | signs that may be taken, if read cor- rectly, to forecast the results in No- vember, “I will lift up mine eyes to the hills whence cometh my strength,” former Senator Ernst once quoted quietly and_ seriously when his election was in doubt. He was right, and the “hills” sent him to Washington, for in those hills in n Kentucky nearly every coun- votes solidly Republican, regard- ss of candidate, an dit is safe to give that vote to Hoover. The Blue Grass, that great central {part of the state, is politically more j independent, and its vote may be in idoubt, depending on issues and can- \didates; but, like most of the moun- \tains, it is not so strong in prohibi- tion sentiment as is the western |part. In this latter section, known locally as the “Pennyrile” and the \Purchase,” lies the strength of the | prohibition vote, and possibly lies also whatever religious fecling there is in the state against the New York governor. It is here that Democrats always seek the majorities so neces- sary to overcome the Republican mountain vote. In Louisville, while there is un- doubtedly a chance for Smith to pick | up the “wet” vote, there are two big factors to consider. The city mally Republican. The majority of ithe white vote is Democratic, but there are some 25,000 negroes who lean be counted upon to vote almost {to a man for the Republican candi- dates, and then, too, 1927’s bitter and state elections may have solidi- fied the republican clement. Covington and Newport, cities across the Ohio river from Cincin- nati, are regarded as much more likely fields for Smith. cording to a report released today by MeLean County Agent A. L. Norling. Most of the combines are located !in the central and western parts of the country, Norling says. Power Lineman Dead from Pole Accident Mankato, Minn. August 15. (AP)—Ernest Hageman, 38, a line- man, was electrocuted today while repairing storm damage on a high voltage line of the Northern States Power company at Rapidan near re, Hageman, and another lineman, P. L. Mack, were working together on a dead 22,000 volt line. Mack did not see the accident and of- ficials of the company, following an investigation, declared they could not say definitely how it hap- pened. It is thought that Hageman came in contact with a nearby line carrying 13,200 volts. He is survived by his widow.
