I. W. W. THREATEN HARVEST HANDS: THEIR ARREST ASKED
Clyde Nelson, who is in charge of the federal-state employment office in this city, visited the sheriff's office Monday and complained to Sheriff Sco.'ieid that the city is full of I. W. W.'s who are interfering with harvest hamis whom he had sccured to go to worl. on farms out of Minot.
Th -re are scores of I. W. W.'s on the s'.reet who wkl not'work—unless they receive. £5 per day and their board, but the farmers are unable to pay such a high price. They have agreed to pay Jpii.50 a day during harvest and it is possible that they will pay up to $'1.00 a day during threshing, but they simply are not able financially to pay more. Mr. Nelson had a number of men who were being sent to the country Monday when they were stopped on the streets by I. W. W.'s and urged to remain off the job unless they receive $5.00 per day. As a consequence of the work of the I. W. W., there is a great scarcity of harvest hands on the farms, tho the towns are full of men.
Sheriff Scofield informed Mr. Nelson that the sheriff's office was powerless to do anything without a warrant rant and suggested that he see the city authorities who might arrest the men as vagrants and put them to work on the streets if they were doing anything unlawfully.
Two men visited Mr. Nelson's office Monday morning and said they feared to take the jobs offered them as they had been threatened bv the I. W. W.'s.
Remains of Leo Olson Buried at lierthold with Military Honors (Special to The Independent)
leaping just in front of the car which caused the car to make a double summersault. Leo was badly cut by the shield and instantly killed, the young lady had her arm broken, while the other young jnan was .badly bruised.
The remains were taken to Ryder Saturday to his brother's, Stephen Olson. A funeral service was held Sunday at 10 a. m. at the Lutheran church in Ryder, and immeriately after noon the corpse accompanied with fifteen cars was taken to Bert-hold where services were held in the Lutheran church by Rev. Jenson. After the church services, the American Legion posts of Ryder and Berthold finished the obsequies in military style. The remains were laid to rest by the side of his mother, who preceded him in 1910, and his brother William whose remains were brought from Canada in 1912
The deceased was 28 years of age, and leaves a father-, J. S. Olson of Berthold, four sisters, Mrs. Enright of Wilton, N. D., Mrs. Hanson of Roundup, Mont., Mrs. Nelson, and AHss Mabel Olson of Tacoma, Wash.; five brothers, Stephen, Dewey, Oscar, Albert of Ryder, and Clarence of Roseglen, N. D., all of whom were present.

In the pioneer days of Berthold his father and mother were in the very first meeting to organize a Lutheran church here and were among the very first to subscribe money out of their scant earnings to build a church for the Christian teaching of their then ten children and the amelioration of their' devotions. To such parents may always be found to their credit matured boys and girls who become the creditable citizens to their family, to the community, to the state, and to the nation.
When the United - States declared war in the spring of 1917, Leo with three other brothers, did not wait for the call of their country, but offered their services in defense of their country. When the war ended, Leo was among the very first to join the Legion post at Ryder and was ever loyal to the cotors.

Labor. Harvest Survey Special State Labor Agencies oper
ated by the State Employment Service under the direction of the Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor, are in operation at tl^pese points for the harvest season; Bismarck, Fargo, Oakes, Grand Forks, Devils Lake and Minot.
The $5.00 rate will be effective up to and including August 15th. This reads fi-om Minneapolis, St. Paul, Superior and Duluth to any point within North Dakota. The harvest rate from Sioux City, Iowa, being $6.50. The State Emploffrient .Service maintains a temporary Labor Office in the office of the Minnesota State Employment Service, at ,117 Marquette Ave., Minneapolis, to distribute harvest help from that poirtt where needed in North Dakota.
Some disconcerting publicity was given the assistance volunteered by the Federal Employment Bureau in its connection with the State Employment Service. The management of the Federal Employment Service is vested in the Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor, who accepted an appointment as Federal Employment Director for North Dakota. To secure recognition, all inquiries and communications, involving the State or Federal Employment Service for North Dakota, should be addressed to Federal-State Employment Director, Bismarck, N. D.
Labor is drifting to North Dakota in large numbers from many points. The North Dakota Minneapolis Temporary Labor Agency can only send out those applying to that office and cannot care for the entire labor demand. Orders to that office for harvest help must be definite as to number of men required and wages offered. Orders sent by other than the state labor agencies must be by responsible persons or organizations.
The wheat harvest is well under way. There are many threshing rye in the Red River Valley. Crops thru-out North Dakota, almost without exception, are exceedingly good. There is a fine type of harvest laborers coming into the State. Treat them right.

Berlinites Having Hard Time, Says _ Immigrant T'imes are very hard in Berlin, and
the people are having a hard time to exist without sugar and other food, and clothes, according to Mrs. Elizabeth Pohl, who recently arrived in Minot from Germany.
She left Hamburg June 26, but was retained at Ellis island for 13 days.
Mrs. Pohl says she left Berlin because of bad conditions there, and suffering, due to the low wages'and the high prices of necessities.
Mrs. Pohl, unaccustomed to American ways, became frightened when a reporter called, believing that it was a policeman who had come to arrest her for failing to report that she had moved, as is the custom in Berlin.
The worst part of her whole trip, she says, was when she was detained at Ellis island, for what reason is not known known. She describes it as a filthy place, almost unbearable to live
in, and outside of this factor, thinks that what she has seen of America thus far is wonderful.
Yeggs Took Nothing From Safe The safe of the Vannet Tire Co. re
cently damaged by yeggs, has been opened by the proprietor by burning off the dial. The safe was damaged by the robbers who pried and twisted the dial locking the safe wlych the proprietor had left unlocked. Mr. Vannet found that the thieves had not disturbed the $40 in currency and valuable papers which he had left in the safe.

THE CREAMERY, AN AID TO DAIRYING
M iti n sti iti iti ii
We have been discussing dairying for this community with the idea of trying to make .it a permanent industry. In all the successful dairy states it has been demonstrated that dairying cannot be permanently or profitably established without the aid of a creamery. The creamery provides the market for the butterfat.
While it is not necessary that the creamery be a co-operative creamery, nevertheless the experience of most all dairy communities is that the co-operative creamery is the best. It is not hard or difficult1 to organize and establish a co-operative creamery. If the state farm school cannot send a man to advise and help, the secretary of most any successful co-operative creamery in Minnesota could be securfla at small expensS to visit the community and help perfect the organization.
Such a creamery should not be organized unless there are cows enough in the neighborhood to support it because if the creamery has a limited supply of butterfat, the overhead expense of manufacture is too high. It is not wise to start a creamery unless at least 400 good cows are pledged and if more can be secured, so much the better.
In a way, the following maps out what our program in this community ought to be—
Get into the dairy business to an extent -such that we have at least 400 good cows available to support a creamery. With this number of cows and the farms so farmed as to grow the feed these cows will need and the system of farming so perfected that these cows can be properly cared for and the herds graded up and added to, there won't be any question about our community getting its farming operations upon as profitable a basis as the dairy communities of Minnesota and Wisconsin. What such a program will mean for the permanent prosperity of our community can hardly be overestimated.
Here are some actual figures showing what the carrying out of this sort of a program did for the farmers of Todd County, Minnesota. In studying these figures just recall what you were able to get for any little quantity of butter you
may have happened to make on your farm and sell in whatever channels were available to you. Here are the average NET prices per pound paid by all cooperative creameries in Todd County, 18 in number, for butterfat for. the years mentioned:
Year of 1917 — _47.5c Year of < l918.___ 58.2c Year of 1919 68.7c Year of 1920 69.8c Year of 1921 45.7c
Just study those figures a while and decide whether or hot it pays to get the farm onto a dairy basis with a good creamery as the butterfat market.
These prices brought the farmers of Todd County over two million dollars cash each year and there is this about dairying—it is progressively profitable; that is, every year it gets tetter. The farm gets more and more onto a dairy basis, the feed is easier to raise, its production is mo're certain, the cows get better and better as they are graded up, and the soil of the farm itself is constantly improved because of the presence of the livestock.
What a wonderful thing it would be if we could make this community permanently and dependably prosperous. The program we nave been outlining has brought sucn prosperity to other farm communities, It will bring it to oar community. Dairying is not only profitable in itself but it leads to other kinds of farming that are profitable. It makes a business man out of the farmer, enables him to profit through his study, planning and his ability. The establishment of a cooperative creamery does other things, too, besides providing a dependable market for dairy products. It promotes community spirit. It teaches farmers to work together and prepares the way for the taking up of other projects that are beneficial not only from the standpoint of profit but in a social and an educational way. We are some years behind the prosperous and progressive farm communities of the dairy sections of Minnesota and Wisconsin but let's not get any further behind. Let us take this dairy ana creamery project and put it over. ,
