The first fellow to write says, "I got that note book, sure thought that was grand and thanks ~ver so much to aLl those who did it for me." The second fellows writes: "Got the little note book you sent. I sure wish that there was some way I could thank them all. because it sent me. That was really swell.] You would be surprised how many people a guy would forget In a year. Not that I don't know them any more. but I just can't take time out to think of them all. A group of signatures of friends, such as those in that book, brings a ~uv much closer to home, knowing those people are thinking of us who are away is one of the biggest boosts to morale that can be found. Thanks again for the book." The sixth writes from overseas: "Gee. did I have a grand surprise today? The notebook from the picnic came. It's swell, thanks a million. Gosh, it makes me feel good to know the people back home are thinking and praying for us fellows over here. I have written to most all of the people that sign- ed it and I want to let you know how very glad I was to get it. and many thanks to you all for being so swell." thinking of you even when they are enjoying themselves.

County farm labor officials report- ing weekly to H. W. Herbison, NDAC Extension specialist and state supervisor of emergency farm labor, are nearly unanimous in pointing out examples of labor sav- ing equipment being used for haying. All over the state the picture is the same. with thousands of farm- ers employing various machines and for the state, although plete as yet, indicates a mand for harvest and operations. One bright side to the labor lure is the fact that young folks, girls as well as are now employed and it pected that their contribution ! at least partly offset the shortage.
