good pointers to ponder on;
Have you, Mr.. Union Man, insisted
that the tobacco you buy bears this la
bel? II not, why not: Tobacco work
ers need your support; also that Of
your fellow man. They are entitled to
1t, and you should give it to them by
demanding the Tobacco Workers un-
ion label when you purchase tobacco
or cigarettes.
"Why should you, Mr. Union Man,
be ashamed to ask for it? If you are,
you are not a good union man-merely
card man. Doesn't that union made
garment make noise when you put
package of nonunion tobacco or ciga-
rettes in it? Ii it doesn't. it should.
Union made tobacco and cigarettes can
be had If the request for same is made.
Be consistent. II you want the other
fellow to demand your label hasn't he
the same right to insist that you re-
turn the favor and insist that you de-
mand his label?
''The union label, fellow workers, is
the most powerful weapon the worker
has. Demand it, preach it and live

Tobacco Workers demand your sup
port, but all other unions as we'll"

Eighth District Community Club
officers Elected.

Friday, Nov. gath was election day
and officers of The Eighth District
Community Club for the second year
were elected.
An active campaign had been
waged, much interest awakened, a
large attendance expected and
lively time anticipated.
The weather was not favorable.
Some of our members who formerly
lived in a warmer climate, and who
have been so helpful in thawing out,
getting together and putting our or
ganization on a working basis failed
to be with us. Some of our own
people of tender years were kept
away by the wind and weather.
It was unanimously agreed that
our next election should be, held two
weeks earlier; this will bring us
nearer in time to the general election
when every one has more red blood
in their veins and can better stand
the chill.
We were very glad to have new
progressive friend from the West
with us and who after a second bal
lot was cast-the first being a tie
vote became an official.
Rev. F. H. Huffman who has been
working for and with the people OF
this community was with us. He
was chairman during the election OF
president; read and explained the
Constitution and Bylaws and made
the address of the evening.
The Taylor Bros. and Mr.. Williams
furnished the music and the rest did
the rest. :
The following officers were elected.

Treas, Carl Taylor; Journalist, r. j.

The Club meets every two weeks.
The next meeting will be on Friday.
Dec. 18th, at 1880 p. m.
The subject for that night is, THE
Preparation and Cultivation OF the
SOIL" and will be opened by S. c.
Raglan.
After the election, the Ladies Aid
served us with enough cake to keep
us sweet and happy until next
August when we hope to see every
body gathered in Ragan's Grove with
basket on his arm. This is good
thing to think on in cold weather,
and if necessary we may divide into
companies according to direction
given in Luke 9:14.

The girl saw him struck. hen lifted

After that she had a vague sense of

She saw Ward taken from the wheel
and almost lifted to a patrol. She saw
the injured man being raised to the
ambulance cot.
A half dozen strangers helped her to
board a car. Still In the daze of fear,
she came to her home.
Her mother was standing Owe the
kitchen stove. Her sister was setting
the table. Two little boys were study
ing their lessons under the glow of the
lamp. They all welcomed her %joyously,
but she flung herself into her mothers
arms.
whats the matter?" her mother
cried.
The girl tried to speak. The four in
the room stared at her in half terrified
wonder at her silence and her grief. A
knock sounded on the door. The grocer
from the store below them was stand

sobbing.
At the hospital they found Ivan Sc

Sederstrom was dying. The girl leaned
down to lea his words.

was saying. But I've given you hum

"Where are you going?" he asked her.
Then he slipped off into unconscious
ness. Death came and sealed his closed
eyes. The nurse folded his calloused
hands.
On the day that Ivan Sederstrom was
buried Ward stood at his Office window
watching the surging crowds on the
street below. The jury had exonerat-
ed him Of guilt in the death Of the man.
No one knew of his business connec-
ton with the workman.
He sighed with a relief at the verdict
and a more vivid relief that the sullen
face of the angry man would never
again be raised to his window.
Then he sighed again in a fleeting re-

had slipped out of his life after a week

might be. but how was he to find her?
