Pastor Sets Wholesome Example

A Baker, Oregon, dispatch says:
Rev. Mr.. RAIDER, pastor of the
Methodist Church, has hired
out" for the summer to work on
farm. His church is in no way
remiss in the matter of salary,
but the minister is donning over
alls merely as a patriotic duty.
He will take no vacation, and
aside from his ten hours daily on
the farm, will hold his services on
Sunday as usual.
An agitation is on all over the
country to encourage other pro-
fessional and business men, whose
time is not all taken up with their
work, to follow the noble example
set by this patriotic minister.

THE HELP SITUATION
NOW LOOKS SERIOUS

There is much difficulty in securing
farm help at the present time. Har-
vest has begun in Minnesota, South
Dakota and southern North Dakota.
They are having trouble in getting
help at a wage of $3.50 to $500 per
day. Those who now need help for
haying and other work, and rely up
on government or private employ
ment agencies in Fargo, Grand Forks
and the twin cities, must pay a COM
peting wage with the regions where
the harvest is now on.
Not only is it necessary for US to
pay a high level of wages but all of
the employment officers demand that
some arrangements be made for the
advance of the railroad fare, which
later is to be deducted from the wages.
This is due to the fact that we are
far from the centers where labor
gathers and with the present high
railroad rates it is impossible to get
men, who will come out at their own
expense. If they start at their own
expense they are apt to stop at the
first place at which they can find
work.
l wish to request therefore that
those wanting help get their orders
in to me at an early date and that they
be prepared to make arrangements fol-
the transportation of help sent here
l would further suggest as a prop
osition that would partly relieve the
situation that all farmers who have
friends or relatives living in towns
that they ask them to send out theil
boys Of high school age to help in the
harvest. Such fellows should be will
ng to come for patriotic reasons, az
we'll as for the high wages paid, anc
after a few days of getting hardened
n they can do a lot Of work. Every
person drawn into the country during

CHAPTER Xvi.
The Trocha.


OF all the military measures en-
ployed by the Spaniards in their wars
against Cuban independence, perhaps
the most unique was the trocha-
trench or traverse. Martinez Campos
during the Ten Years. war built the
first trocha just west of the Cubitas
mountains where the waist Of the
ler's time were the two methods Of
p%aciication, the trocha and the concen-
tration camp, developed to their fullest
extent. Although his trochas hindered
the free movement Of Cuban troops
and his prison camps decimated the
peaceful population Of several prov
inces, the Spanish cause gained little.
Both trenches and prison camps be-
came Spanish ~graveyards.
At the time Johnnie O'Reilly set out
for Matanzas the war-a war without
battle, without victory, without defeat
had settled into q grim contest Of en-
durance. In the east, where the insur-
rectos were practically supreme, there
was food Of a sort, but beyond the Ju-
caro-Moron trocha-the old one of
Campos' building-the country was
sick. Immediately west Of 1t, in that
district which the Cubans called Las
Villas, the land lay dying, while the
entire provinces Of Matanzas, Habana
and Pinar del Rio were practically
dead. These three we're skeletons,
picked bare Of flesh by Weyler's beak.
The Jucaro-Moron trocha had been
greatly strengthened since Campos'
day. 1t followed the line of the trans
tnsular railway. Dotted at every quar-
ter of a mile along the grade were lit
tie forts connected by telephone and
telegraph lines. Between these forti-
mas were sentry stations Of logs or rail-
road ties. Eyes were keen, rifles were
ready, challenges were sharp, and coun-
terslgns were quickly given on the Ju-
caro-Moron trocha.
In O'Reilly's party there were three
men besides himself-the ever-faithful
Jacket, a wriukled old Camagueyan
who knew the bride trails Of his prov
ince as a fox knows the tracks to Its
lair, and a silent guajlro from farther
west, detailed to accompany the expe-
dillon because Of his wide acquaintance
with the devastated districts. Both
