 Following the dance. Professor Durand rendered several selections and the lights were then lowered for the surprise of the evening. Sergeant Smith. with a squad of his men attired in fuil field equip ment, marched to the center of the hall. and the lights were then turn ed on. When the applause subsided the audience were treated to the sight of body of perfectly trained men. going through the entire drills as in use by the United States army, The snappy orders of the commanding officer brought forth rifle drills. bayonet drills and calls thenics, all of which were greatly enjoyed

HAULING OF COAL
 DELAYED BY SNOW

Neal Van Houten X Co, who have a contract to supply the A. E. com mission with large quantity of coal for the use of the locomotives. piledriver and for other purposes, have been rather seriously handi- capped in fulfilling their contract owing to the bad weather. They have had to make the loads lighter. owing to the difficulties encountered on the trail, and for 8 short time were compelled 10 stop hauling al together. owing to the badly drifted trail. With view 10 making a trail through the drifts and resume hauling, snow blow was construct ed at iS-mile to which six horses were hooked and an effort made 10 get through to Lignite: but this had 70 be abandoned when about half way over. aS the snow became loo deep Ia work the horses longer. Operations were resumed next day. and II is reported that fairly good trail has resulted. which. in time. will have improved sufficiently to permit big loads -o be hauled down from LlgnIte
 Windstorms are very prevalent in this section of the country. with the consequent drifting of trails. and II Is impossible 10 say with any de gree of certainty just how long a newly plowed trail will last. How ever, all concerned are doing their best to keep things moving along
 In this region the river flows very swiftly. and oldtimerS state that ow- ing to thi< faer. the river opens here long before the general break up occurs. This fact iS known and appreciated by those engaged in hauling the coal, and consequently no effort is being spared to have aS much coal aS possible hauled in the limited rsn,e at their disposal FreIghE;ns between ignite and $ mile will be impossible in the sum mertime. aS there iS no road suit able for such a purpose at present.

THE FARM BUREAU.
AND FARM LABOR
County Agent Rodeseb Give. Out
line Of What Ha. Been Done
and Needs Be Done.

Through the county agent, the
Farm Bureau, and the county organi
cation 230 farm laborers were supplied
or located between April LIST and Nov
LIST. In this connection several mem.
bers of the Labor and Advisory Coun.
Gil of the Farm Bureau with repre-.
sentatives in all parts of the county
did excellent work in making local
needs known and in helping to place
men. This is especially true of H. c..
Feig. Raymond, Fred Stenberg, Lake
Elizabeth, Lars Erickson, Lake Lii.
liam, Eugene Melby, Thorpe, c. E.
Patchin, Burbank, P. A. Gandrud, Sun.
burg, E. l.. Thorpe, Pennock, G. E.
Johnson, Mamre, and A. A. Anderson,
Willmar. In the city of Willmar May.
or E. c. Wellin and Chief of Police,
Alfred Gilbertson rendered excellent
service in helping to place men on
farms. By the city Commercial Club
a committee was appointed to work
in connection with the Farm Bureau
Office in supplying farm help. Mr..
John Ruddy, chairman of this CON-
mittee tells me that this committee
placed 80 farm hands during the past
season. Records in the Farm Bureau
Office shows that LILO calls were made
for farm hands, 103 laborers were To-
Gated or supplied and III applications
were made by persons wanting farm
work.
There were few loafers during the
past season, yet this county was not
nearly as hard pressed for laborers
as some of our neighb0ring counties
where four or FIVE times as many men
were placed as were located in this
county. During a good share of the
harvesting and stacking season we
were able to secure more men than
we could place which made it neces-
sary to send these men on to other
places, this was especially true when
men were ordered from the cities and
a rain followed which made it i'm
possible to do work in the fields for
a day or two.
If the war continues we are bound
to feel more the scarcity Of man-poWer
during the season of 1919. BY making
full use of the organization we al
ready have we will be able to accom-
plish the best results. 1t will be
necessary, however, to use more fac
tory and outside help and all able
bodied townsmen and boys. A num-
Der of highschool boys have been
broken in to farm work the past
season and should be able to render
valuable service another summer. In
many lines of farm work and espe-
cially during emergencies women have
rendered valuable service. If condi-
lions continue it may be necessary
for them to do even more another
season as has been done by the women
of the European countries the past
season. In some cases it may be ne
cessary to slightly modify farm oper-
atoms to meet labor conditions.
