Here we received another increase in the family, the fourth one, a daughter this time, named Helen Anita, born September 11.

I had a hard struggle to make a living, for extra expenses all the time were coming on. When I got strong again so that I could think to stand to work, with something in the U.S.

In order to take better care of the family I decided to go back to the States again, so the little children and the wife could be better taken care of.

I got a job on the Amalgamated Sugar Company in Burley Idaho. The war was on now. Everything was dear. For one winter I was feeding beets, another season I had another easier job. I also worked for a big feeding company at Burley, by the Sugar Factory.

It is now 1917 and we are given another big snow, born the 20 of June. I gave him the best name of which I could think Daniel Harkness.

I, for a while was making good money, four dollars a day, but in wartime, things were risen high. Those wages only lasted in fall of the year.
