BE Not Deceived.

If cotton acreage reduction
LAW can stand the test of the
courts, it is certain we could be
forced by LAW to plant whatever
the voters thought best for us.
II they can regulate the cotton
acreage by LAW can they regulate
all our crops by LAW? The best
lawyers say yes. II they can regu-
late by LAW what we shall plant
can they regulate the prices of our
products by LAW? The best law
yers say yes. Who has the most
votes? The eaters. Will they vote
the prices of our products up or
down? DOWN. Would this be To
the interest of the workers or eat
ers? The eaters. Should We vote
yes, or no? VOTE NO. Should we
reduce our acreage? Yes, as Free
men but not as Serfs.
Do we want another special SEES
sion of the legislature, to spend an
other S100,000.00 of our money?
NO. How then should We vote on
this LAW?

The mission held there was establlshel'

Thousands. It u no uncommon thing -
