to his residence, his building a house

said.
Mr. Guthrie pointed out that Mr.. F'rick
continued to maintain his PITTSBURGH

and declared II was immateriaI how
much time Mr. Frick or his family actu-

unemployment among farm help of
only 90 per cent. Twelve counties
reported no unemployment whatever
and in some cases it was stated that
farmers are making more complaints
regarding inability to secure help than
is coming from the ranks Of The un,
employed.
