CAR SHORTAGE IS
MAIN PROBLEM
IN THE DAKOTAS
Large Portion of 1919 Wheat
Crop Still In Storage Near
Sioux Falls Conditions
Worse Than In Kansas.
By ARTHUR M. EVANS.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha, Bee leased Wife,
Sioux Falls. S. D.. Auk. 3. A
scarcity of cars and abundance of
labor is the common story jn this
part of the bread basket belt. Much
of the 1919 crop is still stored in
country elevators and on the farms,
and the movement to market seems
to be blocked even perhaps more
than in Kansas, where it is only one
third of normal for this time of year,
act f.rdinK to the state estimates.
The cars are simply not at the
loading places and the farmers are
tossing up their arms over the trans
portation prospects when threshing
reaches its crest Some are stacking
their cut; others talk of switching
from wheat to corn next season.
As to the much-vaunted labor
scarcity which threw a scare into the
am a few weeks ago, at the idea the
f.niiier might not be able to garner
liis grain, it simply does not exist it
these parts of South Dakota.
The state each year is depending
less and less upon migratory labor
to help carry the peak loads. More
machinery, more tractor power, clos
er adaption of the planting to the
ability of the farmer-family unit to
do the harvesting, extra work by the
agriculturists all these factors have
cut down the seasonal demand for
floating workers.
More Labor Than Needed.
This year many more birds of pas
sage alighted in the harvest fields
than were needed. Many were unable-
to get jobs. Sioux City last
Saturday night was filled with work
ers on their way back east. From
both farmeri and harvest hands one
hears loud complaints against pri
vate employment agencies which ex
aggerate conditions.
Many men arrived here broke
and were unable to get work. The
farmer figures at the present hourly
wage a hand costs him at least $1
an hour, including his keep, and he
employs as little of it as possible.
A week or 10 days is the longest
he counts on paying it, and the high
labor cost is an additional incentive
for the owner to put in extra licks
himself. Every extra hour he works,
he figures, means perhaps $2 saved
on labor cost alone.
Also this year many squads of
men appeared driving through the
countryside in automobiles their
own stopping long enough at a
point to get in four or five days'
work and then on again. Most of
them were city workers out for the
high -wage and the change of oc
cupation. High-grade Labor.
k Everywhere one hears comment
upon the high grade of the labor
which appeared this year. In other
years many tough customers were
in the "floating army." Murders
were frequent in the fields. The
old condition has vanished. The
disturLsrs are gone. The I. W. W.
headquarters at Sioux City Satur
day night was almost deserted,
where in former years it used to be
crowded.
The crops are still staggering
(the natives. Forty bushels of wheat
to the acre is reported not unusual.
The cities are thriving. Most of
them have been to the beauty par
lors within the last five or ten
years. Paved streets, boulevard
lamp clusters, new hotels, bigger
stores, expensive garages, filling
stations, lines of high-power cars
streaming along the highways, ev
erybody working, everybody pros
perous that is this section of the
old Indian country.

Stop Food Spoilage
You stop food spoilage when you do away
with damp refrigeration, fluctuating tem
peratures and dirty surroundings.
Ice is the cause of all the above conditions.
It brings moisture, it melts and never main
tains a constant temperature, and it is full
of dirt that clogs drainpipes.
Food preservation, then, requires the elim
ination of ice in the home. ISKO makes
This possible.
ISKO operates automatically by electricity
and converts your refrigerator into a minia- ,
ture cold storage plant. ISKO floods your
refrigerator with a clean, dry cold that
never fluctuates.
For table use and beverages, convenient
cubes of pure ice are ISKO-made from your
drinking water. All other need for ice is
eliminated.
The cost of ISKO operation is very low
less than the charge for ice. Wouldn't
you like to abolish ice, stop food spoilage,
and enjoy the multiplied advantages of
ISKO?

Combing Won't Rid
Hair Of Dandruff
The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retir
ing: uso enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most if not all, of your dandruff will
be gone and three or four more ap
plications will completely dissolve
ana entirely destroy every single
sign and trace uf it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.'
Tou will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times bet

drug store. It is inexpensive and
naver falls to-do the work. '
