NO SHORTAGE OF HARVEST
HANDS IN OKLAHOMA


Oklahoma City, May 29.- (Special)
No need for panic exists in Oklaho-
ma over a possible shortage Of harvest
hands, declares w. G. Ashton, state
labor commissioner, who states that
the problem is fairly well in hand.
What is needed is a determination
that not an acre Of grain shall suffer
and active work now to meet the com
ing need.
"There may be shortage Of regular
harvest laborers," Mr.. Ashton states,
perhaps there is. But the problem Of
saving every acre Of wheat is one that
we must meet, and cooperation from
every industry will solve it. We are
community harvesting
wherever possible. Farmers in many
districts are already organizing to
trade work during the rush eason, with
those who have little or no small grain
planted getting their other work out
ofthe way early"
The "harvest reserve" movement
has gained much headway during the
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1917-05-29
WELCOME FIREMEN

To be ready to respond to any call on
moments notice any hour of the day
or night, to answer the mandate of the
gong whether the weather be fair or
the wind so bitter that the breath is
frozen in front of the face, to rush
fearlessly in a raging inferno of
flames, risking his life-all this and
more is part of the profession Of the
fireman.
The fire losses of the nation annual
ly reach a frightful total, but, except
for the faithful service and heroism of
the men whose business it is to keep
this menace to property in check, the
destruction would be immeasureably
greater.
Every community owes debt Of
gratitude to the members Of it's fire de-
partment. 1t is true that they are paid
for their labor but the compensation
which they receive is by no means
commensurate with the value Of the
service they render.
1t is the privilege Of Chickasha this
year to have the honor of being hos
tess to the Oklahoma State Firemen's
association and we feel sure that we
voice the unanimous sentiment of our
citizens in extending to the visitors a
hearty welcome. Every effort has
been made to make the stay Of the fire
men pleasant but if anything has been
overlooked they will confer a favor
upon their hostess by kindly calling
attention to it. Chickasha has nothing
too good for the stranger within her
gates. 1t is the wish Of all our people
that the firemen's convention may be
an unqualified success.
