John Harvey will leave next Thurs
day for his future home at Twin Falls,
Idaho, where for a time he will be an
agriculturalist. If he farms as well as
he has attended to other employments,
the only thing that will prevent him
from having bountiful harvest will be
natural conditions over which he can
have no control. AS an employee of
the Siftings-News he has measured up
to the full standard of the obligations
which have devolyed on him and in
leaving the Office he carries with him
the very best wishes for future success.
Journalism is what he looks forward to
as his life's work.
