eaten green persimmons so as to

barrassment incident to a movement
so new and extraordinary as is the
Hammond Plan movement.
Assembly hall was comfortably FL
led. 1t was a most representative gath
erng OF the whole city with the great
class Of wage earners and their wives
predominating in number. 1t was ap-
parent that this class was very much
in earnest in the new movement
The speakers were inspiration per
sonified. H. s. Mobty. president OF
the Farmers union of Arkansas, with
charts. arguments and appeals drove
home the lesson of appalling human
waste and misdirection in the average
city like Hammond.
e. y. Winship Of Boston. one of the
leading educators in America. a dy-
manic little man in appearance. in the
short time he spoke made his audience
realize the value to a community Of its
boys and girls. Is Hammond i'm the
years to come goir & to be a $ import
ant to Chicago as the mouth to the
face. or will it merely be wart on
that city's nose? he asked in effect
He made his audience realize the inn
portance of the city's asset in its youth
by making it think of Hammond or the
country losing all men and women Of
seventy years of age and over at once
as compared to sudden loss which
would include every boy and girl un-
der twenty years OF age.
Mrs. g. H Mathis, an Alabama
farmer" big hearted Kind Of woman
showed Hammond by relating briefly
tba Alabama camDaigu of two years
ago which snatched that state from
starvation and economic ruin. Al
though she was one of the biggest fac
tors in that campaign she told her story
so simply. that she made 1t appear easy
for Hammond to get out of the rut
if ii wants to.
Prof. p. G. Holden closed the meet
ing with a few remarks. and like Supt
c. NJ. Mcdaniel earlier in the evening
said the Hammond Plan movement is
not intended to fight anything partlc-
urarlv or to tear down, but rather to
build M on all sides. He spoke of 1t
as a movement that can be backed by
everybody. He IS the head Of the In
