Z. , .o"s SECURE FARM LABOR

During the year South Dakota
farm bureaus placed 1852 laborers
ON farms. This was accomplished by
definite plans made by the farm bur
'eaus whereby the county agents were
made responsible for getting local
labor organizations built up in the
counties with a labor agent in each
community, who obtained and dis
Observation-Disclosures employment
Offices at Huron, Sioux Falls. Aber-
deem, Redfeid, Mitchell and Rapid
City. : In communities where tran
silent harvest labor could not be Sc
cured. the bureau organized shock
troops consisting Of local t~ownspeople
who went TO the fields in systematic
squads.
Q Among the recommendations made
byia number Of farm bureaus relative
to labor problems Of 1919, the fol
lowing are of interest: That q com
pleteJ registration be taken OF all
males between 16 and IS years and
classified by the War Labor board;
that all labor be distributed thru the
United States employment service by
the use Of clearance cards for all
laborers; that free transportation be
given to iaborers on the presentation
of such clearance cards, and that
. these arrangements be put into eff
feet as soon as possible to insure
maximum food production in 1919.

dered the striking street car men Of
Atlanta back to work until the board
can consider their grievances and ad.
Just the difficulties. Its message was

men that their action was indefensibIa
under existing war conditions and vio-
lation against agreement to call no
strikes during the period of the war.
The board expects that all the cars
will be In operation again today. A
strike would have thrown 40 cities and

cores. BY Bill Hart and Pete Sargent
of Hartford.
After a short comedy by two of
the men of the Sanitary Detachment
and a short talk by Bos Hawley who
was on the Editorial staff Of the
Times" now one of the favorites nf
the company, we listened to some car
OILS by the French and then all sang
"America". That closed the exercises,
the children were all given toys from
beneath the tree and you couldn't
imagine a happier crowd of young
sters. We appreciated such a cele~
bration much more than the Munich
pal Christmas tree, probably on ac-
count of the added significance. 1t
was then announced that there would
be a Christmas communion following
at the Y. M. G. A. tent. 1t was Epis-
copalian but that didn't matter and
I went. It was led by DIT. Mel, per-
haps you know of him. Then camo
the big event of the day,-~--our Christ
mas dinner in France. OF courSa
there was turkey, plenty of it and
roasted. Bread and lemon meringue

were mashed potatoes dressing, cran-
berry sauce and gravy. Then came a
choice of red wine or coffee Gatter
chosen}. Beyond that was the supply
sergeant giving each man a package
of Humps or Camel cigarettes as on
Thanksgiving. All were told to keep
their seats, once seated or they wouid
be out of luck on the figs and English
walnuts- Dinner over We sat around
in the Mess hall singing, etc. We
cheered the officers, the cooks and the
NJ eSs sergeant. The Captain gave us
a short talk and then we dispersed to
let or dinners settle.
"By this time the afternoon was,
nearly gone. There was to be no eve-t
ming mess and nobody missed It, Mali
and boxes had been coming in all day
and some one told me that there vas
one for me. SO being all elated
found the two you sent. They were il
excellent condition and the rest of my
and sampling the contents. Thus
passed one of the happiest Christmas
es that I have ever spent. 1t lacked
just one thing to make it the merrie<r,
the atmosphere of home. I pray my

will be spent at home, ] hope yonr

THE SLOGAN THAT WILL WIN


Unity in thought and action
is the slogan for today
party clique or faction
Must not, shall not, bar the way,
distractions and obstructionists
Should all be brushed aside
And freedoms phalanx onward sweep
Relist]ess as the tide.
The time and place for dickering
Is neither now nor here,
Cut out all senseless pickering,
1t costs tho country dear;
Unity in thought and action
Is the slogan that will win,
Cut out each faint of faction
Though it rive both bone and skin.
To decry the work Of others
Adds no iustre to your own,
Realize they are your brothers,
Be not first to cast a, stone;
Unity in thought and action
Must be cherished more and more,
The whole people, every faction
Must unite to win the war.
