WOLF MAKES PLElFOR LABOR

County Agent Wolf was present
at the Monday night business ses-
sion Of the Wahpeton Reserve Co.
and he told them that the county
council of defense had turned over
the labor question in part to them,
as they were the only large body
of men in Wahpeton that would be
able to handle the situation in the
neighborhood of Wahpeton, where
the crop will be extremely heavy.
County Agent Wolf also stated
that he was doing the same thing
with the other organized reserve
bodies in the other cities and viii
lagos of the county.
The reserve company then voted
to work in cooperation with Cour-
ty Agent Wolf to the fullest ex-
IRENE in which he might require
the company. The idea is to have
men ready at a moment notice and
rush them here and there over the
different parts of the county to
help harvest the crop
County Agent Wolf prepared
a work card on which were a num-
Der of occupations and the signers
of the work cards should be mark
ed by placing an Ky after the
one the signer thinks he could do
the best. y
Through the Reserve company,
all the available labor in Wahpe-
ton will be organized, and all au-
tos listed that will be offered for
service to cart around the men
from place to place.
This crop has got to be saved.
The farmers have done their duty
in raising as large crop as they
could and it is now up to all of us
to gather in the sheaves.

with such a situation.
Capt. Lounsbury in his remarks
to the company said that in case
of this bunch of L. w w. started
anything like this kind of trouble
the citizens Of this state would
have to combat it, and it was only
through a perfect trained body Of
men would anything be able to be
accomplished. So you see the COM

we must urge on every true and
loyal citizen Of Wahpeton to come

occurrence of r0uble of this ma
ture.
