is expected that big portion of the
shipments will go in $50 pounds

Ten Thousands Hands
The question of labor at Hastings
is always big one about the first of
April The usual advertising for TO-
900 hands will be done and with good
prospects of getting them. Many
growers fearing a shortage of labor
and also hold up for higher wages
are preparing to dig their potatoes
with machines run by gasoline en-
gines, and some will have machines
with pickup attachments also. Labor
for other work is yet plentiful.

THE PARK VS. ELSEWHERE

A community building should above
all things be build in most central
location for obvious reasons. In The
first place, the Park is just about the
center of the city. This gives every
person an opportunity to attend any
meetings, amusements or other af-
fairs held for the public, and makes
the point Of meeting equal distance
for all concerned.
In the second place, it will do away
with any factionalism, as to sides OF
the city, in that 1t is placed on abso-
lutely neutral ground, and neither
the south side nor the north side
could or would find any objections.
AS library location, it. is neces
sary to be where those interested can
most easily get to it, and were it
placed either north or south of the
railroad, it would not have the pat
ronage that it would have if placed in
the Park.
There is now an eye sore spot in
the Park and this could be covered to
perfection with a beautiful building
and enhance the appearance of the
Park.
In putting up community build
ing, naturally, the financial end must
be looked into, and it stands TO rea'
son that if lot must be purchased,
this amount must be gotten in addi-
ton to the cost of the building, and
even were such an amount available,
it would be far better to put this adj
ditional amount into the building, and
get so much more benefit from the
money.
A building made of suitable mater
ial, could in the Park be built Of such
color as to harmonic beautifully
with its surroundings Of verdure, and
be made thing of great beauty for
the place.
In the vote to be- taken on April
list, it is the object of having the vot-
ers express themselves as to The To-
eating Of the Community Memorial
building in the Park, and this matter
should be considered from the stand
point Of general facilities for the
public at large, and economy of cost
of location. The matter Of financing
the cost of the building has not been
gone into as yet and will not be un-
til decision is made and there is
no idea of asking the voters to place
o millage for this purpose.
Articles stating that vote as to
any other purpose, appearing in var
ious papers, are misleading and un
true and the committee denies an!
authority for them.
