NEIGHBORS HELP BOOTHS CUT OATS

A group of thoughtful neighbors last week helped Frank BOOTH cut oats. The BOOTHs live north of Fairfield, and only a short time ago the father Frank BOOTH died. There were 70 acres to be cut and the following men of the neighborhood complete the task:

John DuBois, Donald DuBois, Jim Starr, Orvil Myers, Dale Krumboltz, Raymond Rice, John Nelson, Fredrick Nelson, Clyde Kyle and Earl Baker.

Charles Barrow brought his tractor and Albert Stanley brought his binder for the work. The family are very grateful for the assitance (sic) and wish to thank all of the kind neighbors.
