He had more friends than most men

confidence Of others He was frugal
and accumulative. but he was generous
and kind. Before his disease develop

Hampton, July 10--Farmers In north
central Iowa need help very much
these days. AS is the usual thing al
this time of the year the oats and hay
are ready to be harvested. The one or
two farm hands employed on each
farm are insufficient TO do all the work
OF harvesting. The floating population
in the country towns Is small and as
consequence every farmer is short on
help Wages of $3.50 per day and
board do not bring the workers, for
they are not in the community. The
general result Is that the women and
girls are obliged to go into the fields
for about one mouth each summer. 1t
Is no uncommon sight to see lad of
ten years Of age running mower and
two or three young ladies loading or
stacking. 1t Is conservatively estima-
ted that FIVE hundred to thousand
men could find employment in Frank
lin county for the next month at al
most their own wages.
