Many of the farmers Of this section
are getting uneasy over the prospect of
having to replant all the early planting
of corn. Several of them started in

other cases fields planted two weeks
ls,er are sprouting nicely. and only
reei warm weather and little rain to

post have been prohibited from buying
alcoholic beverages in the town or with

Colonel Harris put the matter before
the town council sometime ago, but no
action of any value resulted. He then
asked the U. S. Government to pass
on his request. The U. S. district at
