THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 1917
The fine rains that fell over
Harmon County again Tuesday
and Wednesday nights is the
very thing that the people have
been looking for, and this will
save lots of the wheat and as-,
sures fair yield if the seasons j
come right from now on. Con-
siderable hail fell, but not much ]
damage is reported. We under- (
stand the town of Snyder was
blown about some, but no lives
were lost, but that several se-
verely wounded.
The school boys of Hollis have
joined the "Overall brigade"
and have all donned themselves
in overalls, the stripped pat-
terns seeming to be the more
jfopular. -1 ss:. ~3s/-; •-
"Not only has the school boy3
done this, but most all of our
County officials have joined the
brigade. We understand th'e
girls are to adopt the gingham
dress brigade. This is one way
to cut down the H. C. O. living,
which is in the right direction.
In other places we are told
nothhing but overalls are worn
At no time was the people of
the United States so strongly
urged to raise food stuff as
they are this year. The present
high prices of all food and feed
stuff proves that the United
States is short on same, and
the call is coming from many
sources to plant every available
acre to food and feed.
We have received many
lengthy articles on this subject
this week, but space forbids us
putting in all of these articles,
and we hereby call our readers
attention to the facts.
The question (of /raising an
army of men for war is not
near as difficult as raising food
to feed the people of the United
States and to furnish a large
part to feed the countries allied
with us.
Let's raise what we need to
live on at home and some for
the other fellow that uses the
gun.
