The towns of Norton and Almena

1t is a hard and fast rule on Norton
County farms that work in the field
shall start at 7 o'clock in the morn

or dark. When this man-of. all-work

The Montgomery County News,
that recently suggested that the
loafers in its town be drafted and
sent to the assistance of the far
mers. has been promptly and most
effectually called down by a far
mer's wife who advises him to feed
and take care OF his own buns"

the last place OIL earth where a

Farmers Big Job.

The draft regulations as they
stand now will bear much easier on
farm labor than was the case before
they were modified. Uoder the first
classification some men who were.
skilled farm laborers and managers
went into class /. The government
has recognized that these men are
more valuable to the nation ona
farms than in the trenches. Dis
trict boards have been urged to re-
classify all such cases when affida--
Wits of responsible citizens show
that this course is justified. 1t has
also been ordered that all class 1
men who are actually engaged in
farm farm work, be left to the last.
call of the quota in which they have.
been placed. These steps, together
with furlough rules that will make
it possible for many men to return
from the military camps to the,
farms for EMERGENCY work, should.
help considerably in relieving the
shortage of hands.
In addition. there are the
thousands of boys who have enroll
ed for farm work. and the govern
ment labor agencies reaching out to-
every postoffice. The labor that
may be obtained from these sources
will not be equal to that of our
farm boys in skill. but it is labor.
and will help to make and save the.
crops.
With all that can be done the.
farmers job will be strenuous one.
1t cannot be otherwise. There iss
no such thing as raising a great.
army without feeling the pinch oni
the farm as we'll as in the shop.
Not only must men be taken to-
bear arms, but millions more must
drop their usual tasks to make mu--
nitions for those at the front
We must meet the situation with
the best there is in us. 1t is war.
service just as truly as is service in
trenches. The destiny of nations:
and the life or death of democracy
is as much in the hands of those of
us who follow the pillow as is those.
that take up the rifle. Somehow
we must surmount labor shortage:
and other obstacles and produce the,
great crops which the nation needs.
We must get our heads into the
work as well as our hands.
Where there's a will there's a.
way" The American farmer has:
proved that he has the will and he
will find or make the way. He:
possesses just the resourcefulness of
brains, industry and endurance that,
will underwrite victory for his.
country with the generous crops.
that America and the allies so sore
~ need.

This homelike, appetizing quality
of the LUCKY STRIKE cigarette is
largely due to the fact that the Burley

Your Bond May Bring
Him Home In Safety

The supreme tragedies of war are not enacted
on the battlefield, but in the home.
Above the shouts of command and encourage
ment the roar and shock of the great guns,
and all the swelling tumult of battle which
bear the husband and father to hero's grave
and martyrs glory, there rise the weeping of
the bereaved wife and the cries of little children
deprived of fathers love and care.
American fathers are now on the batt;-.;.o1ts
of France. Many must fall; how many de-
ponds upon us who remain safely at home.
A single Liberty Bond will help to save soldiers
life, your soldiers life, and bring him home
in safety to those who hold his life far
more precious than their own.
