EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I will try
tell you somsthng as to how things are
here in Nebraska, and OF the needs
OF the comrades. Most of them are
terribly in want Of something to eat and
wear, to seed their land and feed their
teams If they are going to raise anything
next season. They have no money nor any
thing to get money with. Some have little
pensions, but these don't go far in support
ing large families. For instance, there is
my neighbor, Comrade j. G. Sides, Go. ID,
126th Ill He has six children, and draws
pension of Sc month. With this he must
buy everything that they eat and wear
have helped him all / can. He gets no
other aid, for people think that nothing
need be given to those who are receiving
pensions. / am mysslf on my last bit of
meat and last so cents worth of -four, and
have six children TO feed.
If we can only get bread we can make
out till grass grows and something turns up.
There are any number of comrades around
here in the Same fix. Send help, if only q
little. Do Something, if you can, for Com
fade Sides. / am laid up with dsfocated
shoulder, received from my team running
over caving bank.-ALEx. MORRIS, Co. K,
