ply to the Red Cross. Those who
cannot qualify for Red Cross aid
are instructed to apply at once to
the county for aid, and to not de-
lay until they are destitute, in or
der that the time required to take
care of them may be available be-
fore starvation. Also all farmers
are urged TO at once apply for gov
eminent eed and hay loans for

n At Dagmar, Saturday night, Au-
e gust 9Th, the farmers are meeting
S under the auspices of the UniteG
g Farmers League TO make a hay
v survey to determine how much hay
n is needed in that section, and t.
take teps to buy cO-operatively
d in order to buy as cheaply as pos
O sible, The prices now quoted a
y SIP per ION is altogether too higl
because wheat and grain is cheape
a than that. The railroads have re
l. duced freight rates one-half, whicl
'e still leaves the freight too high.
e Farmers cannot afford to pa!
e SIP per ton for hay for their mill
7, cows. Hay should be laid dow
Ie here for not over So per ton. Aft
r er the u. F. L. survey, the relic
committee of the League will tax
d steps toward securing hay. Every
IS body should attend these meeting
: and should not delay in getting d
his application.
