The chorus from the Artichoke Bap-
fist church sang several appropriate
selections. After the program the
soldiers and their immediate families
were seated at the table and served
all they could eat, after which the
balance of the crowd we're served

hands with the boys and promised
them a big banquet when they re-
turned and then sent them on their
way with best wishes.
Tuesday, June rs, the Donnelly

Ask the County Agent

In securing farm labor the county
agent is the key man. These agents
of which there are now more than
$500 representing the United States
Department of Agriculture and the
State agricultural colleges, are sup
ported in their respective counties
by large and active county and farm
bureaus or better-farming associa-
tions.
Naturally when a farmer needs
help he calls upon the county agent
who,~ through his close contact with
the labor supply of the towns and
cities, is able to meet the need Last
year the county agents placed on
farms more than 100000 men. This
year they are giving much larger
assistance

Many Farmers Seek Furloughs

With the harvest season due in
less than a couple of months, many
farmers of Stevens county are seek
ing furloughs for their sons under
the selective draft laws, so that the
young men may return home to work
on the farms during harvest.
Some of these applications are
asking for a 60-day leave, but will no
doubt be disapproved. 1t is likely
that furloughs from 20 to 80 days
will be granted, but so far none have
been allowed

been given them. though, none alleges
lack of funds, while some of the ex-

selves up with other explanations, and
no explanation explains what the
teachers want to know, which is the
simple question: "Why don't we get
our salaries? Perhaps the teachers do

mean. Meanwhile many of them say
they are without money to pay their
bills and good school teachers would
not make that confession if it were

Without Salary Since July.

According to their statement. they
have not received their salaries since
last July. which shows that teachers
can live a long time without food..but
that. notwithstanding this, there
comes time when they must have
some pay. Their claim nov is that
the time is up. The September sal
aries of the teachers, payable in the
DRY on October l. have not been paid.
and the most cheering Information
the teachers say they have been able
20 get is that the money will be
around "seme time between the 10th
and the 10Th of the MONTH The
teachers set forth that the clerical
force of the schools received pay for
September on September 80 and that
the janitors got theirs on October 3.
The teachers are not demonstrating
against this class distinction-all they
want is their salary.
Flat leases in many cases are re-
Movable October l. and some teachers
have the fear that they will be evicted

that they will be refused lease re-
newals because of being in rent ar
