OK are proud OF us. too.
'Proud and Gratefui,"
There have been many times when I
wish that this gift of tobacco might
nave reached us before. as we have
surely been up against II many times
Tor lack OF smokes. There Ia a bunch
OF good fellows here who have not been
knocked OF by the Boche's shells nor
sent home by the Government. Don't

FARMERS BOAST
OF WORK DONE
BY LOCAL men
Most Prominent Men in the
City Go out and Shock in
Fields-Many Needed.

Although the men of the city have
come to the front in the big labor
situation it is necessary to add that
there is still room for vacancies. For
the past two weeks the men of the
city have donated. several hours of
their time to aiding the farmers in
the congestion of labor which usual
ly comes in the fall of the year as
the grain seems to persist in ripening
at once, necessitating immediate cut
ting and shocking if it is to be saved.
Paul johnson, the local labor
agent, received calls yesterday from
several farmers in need of help. In
one case the man had 80 acres of
grain which had been cut. This
should be shocked at once if saved.
Last evening large crowd of men
shocked 35 acres at the King farm
near Key West. In the crowd were:
E. A. Buckley, Jim Odber, Frank
Drosky, j. Leifur. w. ]. Rasmussen,
B. W. White, l.. A. Plummer, A. O.
Rhud, r. r. johnson. William Rober-
ton, Gerhart Kingman and Paul
johnson.
Tonight another bunch will go to
the Jim Driscoll farm where they will
endeavor to assist. Great credit is
due the men for the interest they are
showing in the labor situation and it
is a surety that before the winter is
over they will not regret the time
which they have spent in the harvest
