Discuss Class Interests.

keafney.-"One OF the most cru.
eial questions that Is confronting the
people Of the present day is the lack
OF understanding between the farm
lRg class aud the business class"
is the remark made by Mr.. Hart,
both a farmer and business man oi
cozad, MF. Hart belongs 10 the
Commercial club aud Is also a mem-
her OF the Farm Bureau federation.
TOO often some farmers look Al a
project boosted by the Commercial
club with suspicion and some busi-
ness men seek TO discourage and de-
siroy the farmer organizations,
Everyone will agree that il will be
impossible TO do away with either
one OF the two classes and ], rather
reminds you Of the old debate which
is the more useful, fire or water"
Everyone, hopes the time will come
when neither class will try TO an.
tagonize each other.

another blow on the chin from the eager right

A second time he was knocked from his feet

Vidas was at all grateful. Then Johns, in
desperation. seemed to lay his fist ON the floor,
pick it up and throw it at Nidas. who dropped
limp on knees and top of his head, his arms
Topping. But he was up again when the
referee said mine" only to stop another
vicious swing that stretched him on his back.
"One-two- three-four"-counted the referee.
"fve-six-seven-oigh and then the bell
changed, ending the third round. Vidas's sec
onds vaulted into the ring. Each seized an
arm Of their PROSTATE principal and then,
with his feet dragging, they carried him TO
his corner. Using plenty OF cold water, smell
ing salts and couple Of palm leaf fans, they
revived him sufficiently for him TO stand up
when the bell opened the fourth round.
By some freak Of chance Nidas managed to
hit Johns a back-handed swipe on the chin
as they met. The crowd became frenzied with
delight The underdog had got in bite.

cause They had come from the tent colonies
Of the privately owned State Of West Virginia.
They had known trouble and were acquainted
with grief They had been hungry and they
had seen the women Of the colony going bare
foot in cold weather because there was no
money for shoes and food, too. They had seen
shootings and had felt the effects Of injustice
and disregard for law. They remembered the
good ole times" before the tent colony came
into being and the little houses they had lived
in before the eviction notices went up. They
wanted the little houses back again. They
wanted peaceful times in the mountains.
