who desire to enroll here next year,
have stated a desire to secure sum

these young men, as we'll as the en-
ployers themselves that the plan was
suggested The plan is to deal di-

cations in other towns of the Pa

dents desiring work will be prepared
and the commercial clubs or cham

place as many of these applicants as
possible in preference to the hobo
element which each year inyades this
country at harvest time. The stu
dents have always proved the best
class of laborers, remaining with the
job all through the season, and the
