ANOTHER AGRICULTURAL
COMMUNITY CLUB.

The farmers of the Roberdel COM

school building and organized a
community club for studying their
problems more thoroughly and sys-
tematically from time to time. |
have a date for organizing one. next
Thursday night, making three
within, the last three weeks. 1t is
gratifying to the writer to see every
where he goes, an unusual interest
in more Iegumes, more pastures,
better fruit, more and better poul-
try, better gardens, and more food
and feed stuffs. 1t is hoped that
this will prove to be general and
that this interest will continue to
increase. If so, the weevil will
meet disappointment in Richmond
county in 1928 and thereafter il his
JOB is to ruip wherever he goes.
Notice.

demand for wage increase. With conditions as
they are at present suggestion Of an increase
would be out OF reason. The whole trend Of the
convention seems TO be one Of reason, but before
any definite decision can be reached II Is very
probable that the miners will have to go further
than agree to ask for no increase public opinion
will urge decrease and the chances are that they
will find II necessary, before the ond. 70 submit a

There is every indication that tie United Mine

than to rail and fuss and rant in their Convention
The public is greatly interested in what goes on in

whole organization may well stand or fall by the
outcome of this convention. The miners apparently
realize this and are endeavortng keep cool heads

NO CHANCE TO DECEIVE

Perhaps there are people who have believed
that Lenine eats babies for breakfast and
drives his automobile over the PROSTATE bodies
of the mujlks. For them complete revolution
in their opin ,ons about Russia may be brought
about by the discovery that Lenine is, after all,
a human being. There are, however, people
that have known that Lenine might be easily
presentable in civilized company. but who have,
nevertheless, been aware of what Leninism has
done to Russia. Personal contact with Lenine
