st. Peter Tribune: Harvest hands are said
to be scarce this year and are demanding big
wages. While some are willing TO work for

those who are wanting big wages are waiting
for job those who take moderate wages will
get job and earn the most money. Two
brothers in 1880 started out TO harvest. One
went to work at 50 and the other refused 10
work for less than So. At the end of the har.
vest the 80 man had earned $21 more than the
other. The reason of this was the So man
only got work about half the time while the
other worked every day from the beginning to
the end of harvest.
