persons who
there are many
have been unable to earn
dent during the summer to tide
them through the winter, and
when- a man has a family to
support it becomes necessary
that he have employment all
the time in order tlfat he can
support those depending upon
him.
It is a serious question and
one which, perhaps, the state
only can handle successfully,
and the state is being implored
to furnish labor and means to
help those destitute of the means
of food and shelter, to . live
through the winter by affording
them employment in making
roads and clearing lands.
The provident should look
after the interest of the improvi
dent to the extent that they have
proper protection at least.
