Fact is, we are not of the newspaper fraternity who holds grudges nor ill-feeling toward any mem- iber.of the craft. We are not of that stripe. 'Nor are we of the variety who harbors il1. will, or 111 feeling toward any one. For those people with whom we might, perhaps have differed in opinion_and may in the future, we hold nothing but the kindHest feelings, no matter what their attitude toward us. . We have been “through the mill” of .self-responsibility since a boy, and have yet to carry the added hurden of fancied or real hatred toward a fellow man. That's a characteristic, perhaps, not even conceived in some other minds regarding the ‘“pugnacious editor” of the Pioneer. And for the editor of the Sentinel we hold only the highest regard, T 3 and trust there is no good reason why that feeling should not continue.

It is useless to blind our eyes to the situation—we are short of farm workers, and that at a time when |- even more are needed than at any. time heretofore. The working of the selective draft may give some relief, but cannot entirely remedy matters. Even without the loss of the thougands of young men recently called, the farms have been short-handed for several:-years, B In this connection' we would call attention to some fact that should interest us. It has been noted for some time that many farmers, after years of effective work on their farms, have left them and moved to the towns, leaving their lands in the care of tenants. This has been bad for the farms in many ways, particularly in that it deprived the lands of the care of men of experience and superior judgment, both so vitally neces- sary at this time. These men are still in the towns, hundreds of them, thousands of them. While they may be a substantial factor of the town force, their presence is at this time most urgently. demanded-on the farms. Every farm in the land is crying out for the guiding hand and brain of its owner —the one person who should have the deepest interest in its success. In this crisis of the nation’s life, every owner of a farm who has left it—wherever possible without too great sacrifice—should return to the || soil and give to it his best labor and thought. It is not merely the matter of his daily labors, though these would count largely in results. There is the more important fact of his experience and broader knowledge of farm problems. His hand at the helm would be an inspiration to the entire farm force and would count powerfully in the final results. There could be no finer exhibition of patriotism than for the ex-farm- ers of the county, wherever and however situated, to return to the soil at least through the period of the war, when they could be of such untold aid to their country.
