GET THE HABIT
Y OF COOPERATION

The farmers of Woodruff coun-
ty should all become familiar
with the fact that when they
need extra labor they may enroll
their names with Mr.. Walter
Emerson, our Comfy Clerk. He
will also enroll the names of la
borers who want work on farms,
and it will be thus easier for men
and jobs to get together. If far
mers are too busy to make a trip
to the court house they can tele-
phone their names in. In this
case they should give the num-
Der of their phone and their post
office address, so that laborers
hunting for work may find them
easily. The laborer, too, may
enroll by telephone if it is not
convenient to enroll in person.
