City Men For
Threshing Urged

That each Fargo firm release one
Of its employees for one day to assist
farmers adjacent to Fargo in thresh-
ing, was the suggestion today of
George Dixon Of the Fargo Motor
Sales company.
There isn't Fargo firm that
couldn't get along without one of it's
male employees for one day." said Mr..
Dixon. Such action, in addition to
greatly expediting threshing, would
be a brief vacation, which the aver
age worker would appreciate. have
discussed the matter with a number
Of business men, and found them in
favor of the idea.
Mr.. Dixon also proposed that firms
having several motor trucks release
one of them for several days to ia
cilitate getting the threshed grain to
the elevators.
"That is a very important feature
Of threshing this fall" Mr.. Dixon
added.
