Dear Comrade: --

		Enclosed please find regular receipt foryour remittance
of $20 for April, May, and June, and we thank you for the same.  A
notation has been sent to the Western Comrade to change your
address in accordance with your request, and the magazine will
probably reach you regularly in the future.

		We hope if you escape conscription you may find your
way here to us.  We are working along the lines of "Preparedness",
as we are bending every effort toward planting and conserving
large quantities of food for the future.  As the farmer or
agriculturist stands very high in the list of exemptions under
the Conscription Law, we have hopes that our men here will be
allowed to remain and do a man's work in the matter of food pro-
duction.

		The high cost of living is becoming a great burden upon
most of the workers and the complaint that one is unable to make
ends meet is a most general one.


                                                                   Yours fraternally,


FFW-OAH      						  Vice President
