what the country will produce, and 1t
becomes the duty of every citizen to

Thresher Men Considering.
In former years the threshing ma

because the machines were working
in their neighborhoods. Secretary
Stufflebeam is communicating with
managers Of thresher OUTFITS and ask

erations as many days as they can.
especially on Tuesday. and thus
greatly aid the fair which is doing 50

ests here. 5''s
