made and the club voted to refer the
matter to Special Agent c. W. Waid

ed to inaugerate a Labor Roll' OF
which shall be listed the names of al
men who are willing to go out OF
farms in this vicinity to give an!
number of days work which they may
designate. Parties who place theil
names on this roll are practically en-
listing for the time they choose in th'
army of farm workers. A committe,
was appointed to work out the detail
of this Labor Roll" This movemen
, places the Boosters Club on recort
as ready and willing to give materia
aid to the farmers when they ma,
need it and places the farmers at cas-
