Advices by the Department of Agri. culture from its agents in the fiel^ in dicate that there will be no general shortage of labor for the wheat har. vest, and that in some areas there will be a decided surplus. In Kansas, where the harvest begins about June 15 in the southern tier of counties, the supply of labor is ! already in exress of th e demand. In that State wages for shockers do not run over $3 a day with board and lodging In Texas wherj harvest is already in progres-s, there seems to b e labor enough tt> meet all demands with the possible vxception of the “Panhandle” district I n Texas harvest wages run from $2 to $2,50 a day. In the northern wheat States the situation has not yet developed suffi. ciently to make possible reliable estimates as to dema-nds for outside lab. «r, but it seems probable that the labor market will be comparatively easy in most localities with the pre. vailing wage not over $3 a day.

The following interesting story con cerning Miss Martha Railsback an Indianapolis girl and a graduate of DePauw University and Miss Maude Watts of Belleville, Ontario who own, control and operate the town of Savoy, North Dakota was published the June issue of the American Magazine. The story says in part. In the heart of the Black Hills of South Dakota sixteen miles from Lead and seven miles from the Wyoming border, is situated th e newly christened town of Savoy. Aside from the fact that this village is near the Homestead Gold Mine Company (the largest gold mine in the world) Savoy enjoys th e unique distinction of being owned controlled and operat ed by two wide awake, energetic girls familiarly known among the cowboys

as “Martha” and “Maude”

Miss Martha L Railsback a grad, uate of DePauw university whose hom e is in Indianapolis Indiana and Miss Maude L. Watts a Canadian girl formerly of Belleville, Ontario pur. chased all rights to the town site and took possession June 14, 1919. At this time Savoy consisted of a moun. tai n Inn, six summer cottages a general stor e and a railway station. In the absence of town officials Miss

While Marths, the meals and made the bread, Maude, dad in over, alls built the chicken hi'ffises ^ ^ pens then tended to the poultry and swine which were shipped in and add ed to the stock i n trade. She also did ithe plumbing in the store and inn af_ ter getting permission to tr.p the pipes

During July and August Martha gathered the wild fruits which bound i n these parts and converted them into jam and jellies which could be marketed by the girl’s to good ad vantage jn their general store Maude who loves the adventurous side has Sp cured a hunting license and has killed deer for consumption in the inn.. The cottages are rented only during the summer, the profits from them only going to defray the expenses of Martha and Maude during tht/winter months. As soon as the frost comes the “resorters” seek a milder climate as the temperature in Savoy is liable ito drop 45 to 50 degrees below zero at any time. The weather at least so far has not dampened the ardor of th“ girls. They may awaken to find themselves snowed in but skiing is a pooular sport and they can surmount many difficulties on their snow shoes. In one of the very severe cold spells of last winter a man who had broken his leg was taken from the train and with Martha’s assistance was brought to the mountain Inn. Maude who is an amateur doctor set* the broken hones. So Savoy is not without ’ts

“medical corps.”
