Emergency Labor Help
to Harvest the Crops

The condition at this time indi.
Gates a scarcity of help to harvest
the crops. The large number of
men engaged in ship building, mu-
milton plants, etc., together with
those in the army, has made the
supply of men for farm work quite
scarce. To meet any emergency
that may arise, the men in the viii
lagos and cities of the county have
signed the following petition: 1--WE,
the undersigned, agree to work at
farm labor, when called upon for
not to exceed six days during the
period from this date until Septem-
Der LIST. 1t is understood that nv
wages are to be what | am worth to
the farmer for whom | work. shall
be payable daily, unless otherwise
agreed, and the farmer shall be sole
Judge Of their value. 1t is under
stood that l am making this offer as
a Patriotic Duty in order that / may
do my part in saving the crops and
with no idea of profting myself. 1t
is understood further that the or
ganization of the labor under this
agreement shall be under the Coun-
Gil of Defense of Pierce County"
1t is to be realized that this is
done only to meet the emergencies
where other help cannot be found,
and when it is necessary that the
crop be harvested. The greater
number of men signing these petit
tons have worked on farms some
time during their life and are doing
this as duty in order that all food
possible be saved which is so i'm
portant in this critical time.
If you are in need Of help apply
to any of the following men who
will make every effort possible to
supply your demand:

The ladies who were on hand for
service at the work room Monday

the interesting task of filling com
fort kits. The Chapter has hurry
call for 200 kits.
In the shipment to Chicago sent
by the Shipping Committee last
Thursday were 81 sweaters. This
more than fills the quota asked for
before August 3lst.

this Congress and passed.

Eight Senators have died during
the present session, an unprecedent-
ed number, while fatalities among
Members have been unusually large.
The tremendous pressure and grave
responsibilities due to the war have
had serious effect on those who
fail to relax from their burdens. In
this respect President Wilson sets
good example for early every morn
ing his car. followed by secret serv-
ice men, may be e e g i n g out

to exercise and relaxation as did
Presidents Taft and Roosevelt, his
predecessors. By no other means
can men of mature years meet the
burdens of this war period in legis-
lative or responsible administrative
work.
Although the letters will be dis
continued e mpora ly, | hope
shortly to, meet constituents for the
brief time permitted, in order to
answer untruths and misrepresen-
tations which seems to be regular
part of current political campaigns.
The opportunity to renew acquain-
tances is also welcomed, and one
can learn first hand of legislative
needs. because however Industrious
or efficient Members may be they
are generally glad to get the ad-
vice and judgment of these they
represent. This hope to have as

past.
