The First National Bank of Bottineau will be pleased to
render what assistance it can to it's farmer friends and patrons
in the vicinity of Bottineau in the matter of obtaining farm
help for the season of 1913 or any part of it. We would be
pleased to have you inform US az to what help you need and
when you will need it, stating az nearly as possible as to the
time you wish the help to begin and how long to continue.
We will thereupon communicate with employment agen-
:ies, railway offices and others having knowledge of available
arm help and will endeavor to get the required amount of men
m the ground, and upon their arrival here we will know exact
iy where and to whom to direct them.
With the cooperation of the farmers, bankers. business
men and commercial and farmers clubs it ehould be quite
possible to induce the required number of farm hands to come
here. We want neither too many nor too few. Past years
scarcity of men was mainly caused by the acknowledgements OF
previous years, many more having been induced to come to
North Dakota than could And work. This statement applies
more particularly to the Southern portion of the state, but the
Northern portion was the part that paid the penalty. --IdE

sistance are often greatly weakened BY
the violent and exhaust1ng cough.
The disease Is highly contagious, al.
though the offending germ has not yet
been discovered. Consequently the
mother or the nurse Of a child with
whooping cough ought never to take 1t
into public conveyances or to enter
