normal year, hordes of men ride the
bumpers and box cars, headed for the
wheat fields of the north and north
east, where big wages ordinarily await
them in the harvest fields. The wages
may not be as big this season as they
have been paid during past years, but
the jobs are waiting and even the
I. W. W.'a aren t so particular as to
salaries as they were in other and
more prosperous days.
One night last week no less than six

freights, were seen in the railroad

good farm by a very pood farmer.
