Farmers are paying $2.50 for harvest and $3 a day for threshing, the scale being lower than usual. ite lower wages, there have been plenty of men to supply the demand for harvest, Tucker said. This lower wage scale and the extremely hot weather, however, has caused an sae usual condition in this vicinity, he said. The men are shifting from one locality to another more than usual and this has caused a slight surplus of help in some areas while other areas have reported a shortage. This condition has existed for only @ day or so, however, and is not con- sidered serious. The heat has made many replace- ments of. men necessary this year. Many farm hands who are not used to the climate and the strenuous la- bor have been compelled to quit and return to their homes. Harvest is just getting under way in the northern part of the state, Tucker says, and reports from there indicate the labor situation is good. The department of labor has agents at Fargo, Valley City, Jamestown, Bis- marek, Dickinson, Grand Forks, La- kota, Cando, Minot, and Williston this year, There is an agent working at large south of Devils Lake directing laborers to points where they are needed. The Fargo federal employment of- fice placed approximately 1,100 men last week, according to 8. R. St. Pierre, manager, and with threshing beginning in general this week, the number of placements is expected to be much larger this week.

Fires along the Churchill river be- tween Lac la Rouge and Lac Ile a la Crosse in north Saskatchewan were checked by general rains throughout the region. A plane carrying men and fire fighting equipment was sent to Nipe- kamew, north of Montreal lake, where @ new outbreak of flames was re- ported. The extent of the fire was not given.

CHILD'S JOKE BRINGS DEATH AND INJURY Amateur Movie Show in Brazil- ian City Will Probably Result in the Loss of Ten Lives Sao Paulo, Brazil, Aug. 5.—(®)—A child's prank with a match was blamed today for serious burns and injuries to Sao Paulo children.

One, wishing to frighten the others, touched a match to a pile of celluloid film in a corner of the darkened room. The film ex- ploded and set the room afire before |ASKS MODIFICATION PETITION IN SPEECH OVER THE AIR HERE Danielson Declares More Names Must Be Presented to State Secretary by Wednesday An appeal for signers to a petition to initiate a measure to memorial- ize congress to modify the prohibition laws wasbroadcast here last night ina radio address by J. A. Danielson, Mi- not, representative of the supporters of the proposal. Danielson said that approximately 9,000 of the 10,000 names required for the petition had been obtained, but that the remaining signatures must be filed with the secretary of state Wednesday afternoon. “We have done everything in our power — without organization and without .ubstantial campaign funds— to secure the necessary signatures for these petitions,” Danielson told the radio audience. “If we do not have the required 10,000 signatures by the children could get out. Wednesday, it is because too many rely upon others to send them in. It isn't because the people of North Da- kota are satisfied with the prohibition law and do not want this work done. “Ten years ago prohibition rode in on the crest of an enraged public opinion aganist a system of liquor control that was admittedly wrong— the old saloon system. That system represented the extreme in one direc- tion. -But we went too far. We went to the other extreme — prohibition. Both are wrong. These ten years have demonstrated it, and prohibi- tion is about to ride out on an equally enraged public opinion. “The activity in North Dakota at this time is a part of a nationwide movement, that unquestionably is go- ing to destroy the prohibition law in our country as this law has been de- stroyed in every country ‘n which it hasybeen tried.” Danielson called to the attention of the radio audience the petition for repeal of the state's prohibition laws. Although more than the required twenty thousand signatures were submitted, the secretary of state re- jected the petition on the grounds that they were defective. Mandamus proceedings have been instituted in the state supreme court in an effort to compel the secretary of state to ac- cept the petition.

UNRELENTING SUN STILL [8 BLAZING | ONNORTH DAKOTA [Eastern Seaboard Continues Parched and Uncomfort- able; Death List Mounts SLIGHT HOPE FOR RELIEF Forecast Is ‘Somewhat Cooler Wednesday,” but Forecast- ers Don’t Expect Much An unrelenting sun blazed down on North Dakota again today. At noon the temperature in Bis- marck was 89, four degrees hotter than at the same time Monday, and weather ‘bureau officials predicted that Monday's maximum of 92, would be.exceeded before nightfall. Conditions in Bismarck and West- ern North Dakota were typical of those elsewhere in the state although North Dakota generally was said to be in better shape than some other heat and drought stricken sections of the nation. Parts of the central middle west were relieved by rains yesterday and last night but the eastern seaboard continued to be parched and uncom- fortable. The death list attributable to the heat, or from causes associated with it, was growing steadily. The forecast for North Dakota was “partly cloudy tonight and Wednes- day. Somewhat cooler Wednesday and Northwest portion tonight.” Privately, however, the forecasters admitted that the prediction did not promse as much hope as it seemed to do because of the fact that it would be hotter today than on Monday. Unofficial estimates were that Wed- nesday’s thermometer readings in Western North Dakota would be sim- jar to those of Monday. There was no rain in prospect for this section. Max was the hottest point in the state Monday with 98 while Devils Lake was he coolest with 89. Max also recorded the greatest variation in temperagure during the 24 hours ending at seven o'clock this morning the temperature dropping to 49 dur- ing the night. This was a change of 49 degrees. Williston reported one hundredth of an inch of rain, the only precipita- tion recorded in North Dakota. In eastern Oklahoma, a general rain last night broke a month's drought (Continued on page nine) STORK NEARS CASTLE; HOPE IT'LL BE A BOY lf Son Comes to Duchess of York He'll Be in Line to Throne Glamis, Scotland, Aug. 5.—(7)—All was expectancy here today with pro- bability that before many hours the “Little Duchess” of York, daughter- in-law of King George, would give birth to the fourth royal grandchild. There was widespread hope the child would be a boy. If so he would be in direct line for ascendancy to the British throne, since the heir ap- Parent, the Prince of Wales, is un- married. The Duchess already has one child, little Princess Elizabeth, age 5. King George’s daughter, Prin- cess Mary, has two sons, but possibili- ty of their reaching the throne is rather far removed. In early days there were frequent rumors when a royal child was born that it was not a genuine heir. There- fore for centuries it has been the cus- tom for the home secretary to be present in the royal house when the birth occurs. For this reason J. R. Clynes, who holds that post in the la- bor government, was hurrying today toward Glamis to be present at the accouchement.
