Again farmers are brought to a realiza-
tion Of the severe conditions confronting
them in the labor problem for this spring.
Every one is ready to grow the largest
! crops possible 10 feed not only this coun-

be patriotic and willing to do our bit
toward winning the war, and while it
may be hard to not be disheartened, and
we know no better way to express ones /
sentiments toward our President and the |
good United States than in the following |
verses taken from an original poem en- I

In future. and be wise

or words chat criticise.
And more, wen help to muzzle

Had we been you we'd fallen.
Down on it long ago.
No man shall in our hearing.
Born here or come afar.
In future knock your methods
To close this brutal war"
