brought out by a recent vote of a
number OF the county farm bur

carried sixteen questions Of nation
al legislation in order to find out
how the farmers stood so that the
American Federation might accur-

Camped on the spot where this pole
was to be located. Every possible
effort was made to have the women
move, but such was impossible, so
the pole Is still standing in its old
location. The pole has spoiled the
appearance OF the street in that
section of the city and the women
claim that they will not let the tel
