two weeks and gone out in the harvest

w. V. Huffman. who is located about
three miles northwest of DenisOn, was
sick last week. His eighteen year old
son, George, was cutting the grain,
but there was no one to do the shock
ing. The S. o. S. signal of distress
was sent out and a party of six mem
bers went out, after eating an early
supper, and shocked nearly nine acres
of barley. The next evening five went
out to the same farm and shocked
several acres of wheat. Every men,
Der of these parties had had previous
experience in farm work although
some are now county officers, business
men and retired farmers
The above men are not the ONLY
Denison men who have gone to the
assistance of the farmers either. They
don't wait to be drafted, they volun-
teer. These men are entitled to con-
siderable credit and we believe the
farmers appreciate the good work the
town men are doing.
