Payettc Local Growing

Payettc Local Growing
AS a result of the recent picnic, en-
campment and lectures held by Local
Payette, it shows an increase in mem
bers of 10 during the month of July.
The comrades of Payette are evident
ly taking advantage of these propa-
ganda meetings to build up their or
ganization.
Monthly Reports
Although we sent out special let
ter to every local that did not report
for June, asking them to send in re-
port for July, we received a response
from only 10. Well, we are satisfied
with that, as it was more than we eX-
pected. If we can just keep them re-
porting each month without having to
send out more special letters, the eff
fort will have been worth while. AL
though we succeeded in getting 10
locals to report this month that did
not report for June, we at the same
time failed to receive the reports of
IL locals that did report in June.
This makes a total of % locals report
ing for July and "a for June-just one
less, and. still the reports show much
larger membership. The reports re-
ceived this month show the following:
Members in good standing, including
new locals and members at large, 619;
total membership, 500; admitted dur
ing month, IA; due stamps sold, 1923;
on hand, 1856; literature sold and dis
tributed, $94.20; business meetings
held, SO; propaganda meetings, 10;
cash in local treasures, $537.04.
These reports show 1911 more mem
bers in good standing this month than
last. If we add to this the 112 men,
bers in good standing that was shown
by the reports received last month
and that failed to report for July, we
have total of 731 members in good
standing. Our receipts for dues dur
ing July show a membership of 852,
paid up. We hope that every member
that sees or hears this report read
will make a special individual effort
to see that the secretary of their local
sends in his report at the close of
August.
Bull to Buy Hall
We have information to the effect
that Local Bull is negotiating to pur-
chase hall for their local meetings,
lectures, etc. We wish them success
in their undertaking, which if entered
into with the spirit of cooperation,
will undoubtedly prove successful.
We Get What We Produce
That is what Socialists are asking
for. Every person that casts a So
cialist vote is asking for it. But,
strange to say, nine out of every ten
of them want Socialism but want
someone else to produce it for them.
You, Mr.. Socialist Voter, should prac-
tice what you preach and join the or
ganization and help us get that which
we all want. You who are not party
members are receiving the benefit of
the reforms that have already been
forced through by the activity of or
gained Socialists. You, like the other
parasites, are getting something that
you are not helping to produce.
TOble Dates
We are sorry to have to do it, but
we must cancel all dates arranged for
Comrade Mrs. Toble. For some I'M
known reason she telegraphed us that
she could not come to Idaho, and as
we have been unable to locate her we
are compelled to cancel all dates for
her.
New Locals Chartered
TO date there have been six new
locals chartered this month, with a
total membership of g. In addition
to this we admitted five members at
large.
