Dear Sir:
Numerous enquiries have come to
this office regarding wages for thresh-
ing help and prices for threshing. To
date there are no set standards for
kandiyohi County. Unless the thresh-
ermen take the initiative there will be
no meeting for this purpose. Wages
and prices for threshing this year will
be somewhat higher than last. Every
thresherman is entitled to fair re-
turns for his time and investment. 1t
Is not good practice to cut prices and
rush the threshing through, because of
the tendency to waste grain. We sug-
gest, that threshers in the same com
munity get together and talk things
over, that there may be better under
standing to save time, expenses, and
grain.
We are here to help you in every
way possible. Perhaps we can Sc
cure help for you. If you have trouble
with your outfit we can secure expert
assistance for you. Grain is good
this year and we must. have good
threshing. In cases where bad outfits
or poor threshing are reported we win
investigate and Will use whatever
course seems necessary. -
Enclosed you will find record book
for keeping threshing accounts and
from these you will find it easy to
make your reports. l am also sending
blanks for reporting wheat -threshing
each month. These records and re-
ports should be made on every ma
chine In the county even though the
owner does only his own threshinK. i
Thanking you for your cooperation,
I remain, "a ( ,..:. -. ..=@ -

BEWARE A BOLSHEVIST PEACE.

DREMlER LLOYD GEORGES speech at Manchester
Thursday timely and powerful response to the
peace eees forth in the kasers latest address and in
the remarks OF the German vice chancellor Frederick Won
Payer at Stuttgart In uncertain manner, the British
premier has again voiced the allied will to win the de-
termination to carry on until the Hun vanqushed and
the world made safe for democracy Germany being
whipped but victory for the allies is still far from
complete The Teuton lords watching the growth OF
the American expedonay force and the maseriu strategy
OF foch would willingly end il now on the best basis posi-
be but there doubt that the allies see the folly of
negotiated peace and that the Pusan profer will prove
as vain as its predecessors
Lloyd George does we'll TO warn the world against
bolShevist peace In Russia we have horrible example
OF what follows such pact National disgrace and disas

THIS LABOR PROBLEM.

81 many working mon have treked
FROM here TO build big ships and such
That labors ranks seem sadly wrecked
Nor strong enough to labor much:
Ana thousands more will have TO 70
Along the Inths these others trod,
Before We finish up the show,
And tuck the kaiser meath the sod.
And those who go TO take Me pay,
The fair. fat wage OF warslike toll.
Arc few compared with those whose way
Leads TO the front where battles boil;
And all this exodus OF men,
=. VINO used TO do our useful chore,
Means We are up against II when
wed reinforce our labor corps.
Bus still the work 10 here 10 do.
The fields TO till and shops to tend;
rhe mart and mill and street cars, too,
Must Keep on runping TO the end.
Ana all the other useful work
Which keeps the country on the map.
Is something which we cannot shirk,
Decause young men have gone e
scrap.
me only answer Is that those
who stay at home must buckle down,
While younger men and beliicose
Are winning victory and renown:
That those who dwell on Easy street
The loafer and the idle rich,
Must labor now as II TO beat
That paper hanger with the Itch.
Let woman chuck her hour OF easo,
And older mon get on the Job
10 psil the COWS and trim the trees.
Let those who never soiled their hands
In days OF peace get busy now
In mine or shop or fertile lands.
While pcrsplrauon decks their brow.

On each of us imposed the duty Of squelching this
sentiment for premature peace whcrever found This nation
has less cause than its allies to be weary For US even
to talk of quitting would be shameful But there will
be those to urge if given the chance which they must not
have Unless all the heroic sacrifices arc to be in vain this
war must not end until Germany Is beaten decsvey The
Hun must answer for his crimes the baekest in history
nor must he be left with strength inclination to attempt

MRS. HALEY MAKES APPEAL
FOR WAR WORK CAMPAIGN. !

In our delirium of Joy that the war
is ended, let us not feel that our work
is ended. Much remains to be done
and many problems solved before our
country, is again back to normal care
free conditions. Let every woman re-
main steadfastly at her task quite as
willing to give loyal service to her
country during this trying period of
reconstruction and readjustment as
during this struggle for world democ-
racy. -
Readjustments must come gradually
and Uncle Sam will need every loyal
citizen to help him over this task. Do
not feel that the armistice signs our
release from work any more than 1t
does our fighting soldiers across the
sea.
Let us stand ready and willing for
any orders we are given, to make this
period of readjustment as speedy and
orderly a one as possible, and as
proud q record for America as she has
made in other war activities.
