Kindness to Glen Shoesmith

Monday morning, November %,
slxty-6ve of the friends and neigh
bors of Glen Shoesmith gathered
at his farm to husk his corn. Mr..
Shoesmith is a young farmer living
in the North Branch neighborhood
IN the western part of Guthrie
county, whose wife has recently
undergone a critical operation at
Rochester.
By 2:30 the band of huskers had
picked and cribbed his forty-one
acres of corn which yielded over
two thousand bushels. The oldest
husker present was Uncle Lucian
Warren, a veteran of the Civil war
who is seventy six years old; the
youngest was Harold Foresman
who is ten. Any of those present
can testify to the husking ability
of these two.
Dinner was served at the home
Of Mr.. shoesmith's parents, R. N.
Shoesmith and wife. Mrs. Shoe
smith was assisted by number of
the neighbor ladies. The ladies
are to be highly commended for
the excellent manner in which they
accomplished the task of feeding so
many corn huskers.'
