HOW THE FARMER KILLS TINE.

Tergiverous Tim, humorous Min
nesota farm correspondent writes:
"A farmer is an individual who
works 13 hours day for a living;
if the undertaken gets him before he
is SO he don't even get that. He
works from five in the morning until
noon to pay his taxes and interest;
he works all the afternoon to pay
the hired man, and after supper he
goes out to work until dark to try
to save enough to get his wife new
dress and hat, which she must have
every five years whether hse needs
it or not.
"Some folks farm because they like
to and cannot sleep after five o'clock
in the morning; others because they
have to and nobody cares about the
rest. The farmer wakes up in the
morning in the springtime amid the
beautiful notes Of the song birds and
in the fall he wakes up as the other
notes are due.
"A farmer raises a big family to
help him farm; when they are young
they can't help and when they grow
up they go to town to drive a street
car or work in bank.
There are two kinds Of farmers:
check book farmers and grass root,
or dirt farmers. The former have
perfume on their handkerchiefs, and
the latter on their overalls. One
makes his money in town and spends
it in the country-the other in try
ing to save enough in the country to
paw what he already spent in. town.

TO HELP STARVING RUSSIA
Emmens County Expected to Raise
Money or Supplies to the Amount
of $1,000. Northwest Russia Re-
lief Committee Organized.

Beginning in September, drive
will be made in Emmons county
to raise supplies and money to the
extent of $4,000 for use among the
starving people Of South Russia.
AN organization extening over the
entire Northwest is being perfected
to put on this drive, and Emmons
county is expected to make strong
response because of the fact that
thousands Of the starving people in
South Russia are relatives and
friends Of many Of the residents here.
Due to the. chaotic condition existing
under the Bolshevik regime in Russia,
conditions: throughout that nation
have become unbearable The Uk:,s
raine, .and tributary territory, has
been the heart Of the wheat-raising
section of Russia. All grains have
been seized by the government from
the people Of that section, leaving
them nothing to grow crops with, and
little or no livestock. Large fanil-
lies are huddled together with prac-
tically no food, and thousands have
starved to death. It is no uncom-
mon thing for local people who came
here from that part Of Russia to re-
ceive letters from relatives telling Of
the lamentable conditions existing
among their relatives back there.
Unless help in q large measure lis
given from outside sources, starva-
ton faces the entire Ukraine
1 The editor Of this paper has been
asked to direct the work for Emmons
county. Chris. Flegel Of Kuhn, has
been appointed as field organizer, and
all the railroads have given him free
transportation to be used in his work.
His own time is being devoted to the
work without cost. Gov. Nestos will

cation that has already done much
