stubbornly determined. Along one arc
massed German troops were repulsed. AL

The Problem of Farm Help.

The problem of farm help next year
will be greater than ever before in the
history of the country. The farmers viii
be called upon to plant, cultivate and
harvest more acres, but they must have
assistance. 1t may be found advisable
to mobilize large number of young men,
perhaps the boys from the high schools
and colleges, and to have them moved
forward from one section to another.
"A small army gathered in this way, and
transported from one town to another by
motor cars as occasion required, could do
wonders. It might be a good scheme to
have them operate as county units. Some
plan not heretofore worked must be ar
ranged and executed if the crop output
is increased to the point which this coun.
try and the allies will demand Brattle-
