A LINE O. CHEER
EACH DAY O. THE YEAR.
By John Kendrick Bangs.

ACHIEVEMENT.
I'm rather small. but I can do
The biggest things on earth.
And with small effort put 'em through
Despite their wondrous worth.
For can LOVE, and I can HOPE.
And hold a FRIENDLY HAND
To mortals who in trouble grope
Because I UNDERSTAND!
And can give a bit Of CHEER,
And brighten up the day
For some poor traveller pale with fear
Upon the darkened way.

Want MORE PAY
APPLICATIONS FOR FARM JOBS
COMING in AT RATE OF
100 A DAY.

Pierre, March ia few days
ago an advertisement was placed in
eastern papers announcing the fact
that the state would need farm help.
The plea has been that 1t would be
impossible to get farm help for the
year. The recruits would not indi-
cate such a fact, as the applications
for places are coming in at the rate
of about 100 a day, and the indica-
lions show plenty of men, but they
are asking wages higher than those
which prevailed last year when from
$50 to $50 was paid. This year they
want from $50 up. One feature of
the situation is that many men with
families want places where they can
keep their families on the farms.
This is no doubt due from the fact
that many of the applicants are
above the draft age. There will be
plenty of men, but the wages to be
met will be higher.
