Harvest Help
At a meeting of representative wheat
growers from the different wheat grow-
ing sections of Beaver county, held in
Beaver on Saturday. June 14th, 191W.
the following action as to
wages waa taken:
Bargemen per hour.
Header men fi0 per hour
Stackers «<> per hour.
Man and team .70 per hour.
This wage scale was considered nec-
essary because other
counties east of us in Oklahoma, have
adopted it and it is also the same wage
scale that has been adopted in Kansas,
and it was the opinion of those
present that we would not be able to
get the help needed should our scale be
placed at a less figure.
It was also agreed that time starts
when the machine starts in the field
and stops when the machine stops, and
all hands handling teams shall care for
same.

Those Who Gave Their Lives
The Democrat is assisting the Okla
homa State Council of Defense in its
final war task of compiling an accurate
and complete list of those men who
harvest | gave their lives in service during the
war This list will be furnished to
the Oklahoma State Historical Society
so that as the time comes when Okla-
| homa and its different counties erect
monuments in the memory of these
men a correct list may be available for
wheat growing their use.
Thr State Council has compiled from
public casualty lists names of the men
reported killed and died of disease from
each county. We are giving herewith
the list of names which we have from
Beaver county. We ask that any per-
son knowing of additional names from
this county send them to us and send
also the name of the next of kin. We
are including all those who lost their
lives in the service whether they were
killed in action, died of wounds or dis-
ease in Europe or America. When
these are finally made a part of the
war record of the state, we trust not a
single one will be omitted.
Please send additional names to The
Democrat. Following is the list as fur
nished to date:
Earl Leonard McLain.
Roy Allen.

Rev. Perkins' Mother Dead
Rev. J. E. Perkins of the M. E.
church left last week with his wife and
two children for Wichita, Kansas, to
see his mother who was then very low
with cancer. A letter from Rev. Por-
kins to Judge Spohn states that they
got there in time to talk to his mother
but that she was sinking rapidly and
not expected to live long. Today
(Wednesday) Judge Spohn Jeceived a
telephone call from Rev. Perkins in
which he said that his mother was dy-
ing and that the remains would be tak-
en to their former home at Barnesville,
.Ohio, for burial. Rev. Perkins will
accompany the remains, but his wife
and children will remain with her pa-
rents in Wichita, probably most of the
summer. The heartfelt sympathy of
the people of this entire community is

The following letter written by Ezra
H. Evans in France on Mothers' Day
to Mrs. N. Hinkle on the occasion of
the loss of their second son, Joe Hinkle,

France, will doubtless be of interest.
The other son, Smith Hinkle, died
while on overseas duty last winter.
The letter follows:
"Neufchateau, France,
May 11, 1919.
Dear Mrs. Hinkle:
Having heard" of the late grief that
has befallen you from France, I take
it upon myself to send you my hearts-
felt sympathy on;this "Mothers' Day. "

yield willingly to His.
Yours sympathetically,
