ANT CAMPAIGN
NOW UNDER WAY
in FITZGERALD
Fight Launched in Fourth Ward, Con-
Quoted by c. R. Cunningham

When combating pest it is always
of interest to know just exactly how
it is being accomplished. The poison
used is known as the u. S. Govern
mcnt Formula, and the same as placed
in over $50 towns in Alabama, Missis-
sippi and Louisiana The poison is
contained in metal waterproof con-
tainers, and is of amid poison content,
due to fact that if it were too drastic
the ants would very soon discover the
cause of mortality and forsake the
cans for the food supply awaiting
them in the homes, and that derived
from scale insects and aphids on the
trees and shrubbery.
The canvass so far is being carried
on in the fourth ward, Lee street hav-
ing been completed. On this street al
most one hundred per cent coopera-
ton has been given The cans will
be placed out early next week. Any
homes missed in the canvass, and de-
sirous of cooperating in the work are
requested to telephone the city hall
where their address will be taken.
A successful campaign depends up
on the cooperation that is forthcom-
ing, as the ants should be fought from
every angle with one concentrated ,ef-
fort.

sist of "toodle-oo" aud 'thump-
thump" are the ones that decrease in
terest in the better ones.
But jazz can be overdone and has
been. That is why the American pub
lie is asking for better music. 1t IS
getting really interested in the better
known of the grand operas. the stan.
dard overtures and the classics OF
years gone by. It is a good sign. One
need never fear about the future of a
country which is genuinely interested
in good music. And good music does
not mean the elimination of jazz.
Stations must exercise judgement in
the amount of jazz that is broadcast.
And the exercise of judgment is the
one thing needed to direct rightly the
destinies of radio.

Those guiding the the destinies of
radio in America should have these
as their detectives:
A radio in every home.
The constant improvement of radio
programs.
The one thing that may curb the
American public's enthusiasm in ra-
do is the abuse of radio broadcasting.
1t is interesting to note already the
influence of radio upon American
tastes.
Jazz has its place in American mus
ical tastes. 1t is the only distinctively
American music we have. It is today
by far the most popular of all forms
of music in the United States. But
there are good jazz brchestras and

Fail to ExpeI Communists.

LONDON-(FP)-Exclusion of the
Communists, voted by the Liverpool
Labor party conference, is hitting
some snags among labor bodies. The
decision does not apply to the trade
unions, over whose internal affairs
the Labor party has no control, and
which refuse to discriminate against
Communist members. Communists
still remain members Of the Labor
party by virtue of their trade union
membership. Many even of the local
Labor parties have refused to carry
out the decision and have even nomi-
mated Communists as their candidates
for public offices. In the recent cleo
tions % Communists ran in London
alone as duly nominated Labor can
didates, and the same held true OF a
number Of other localities.

ARTICLE VII.
BY L. HELLER.

TIME Shanghai Trades Council was
4 formed at the very outbreak of the
strike, and soon gained general recog-
milton as the center of the labor move
ment. It's popularity thruout the coun-
try is enormous. To it flock with
their various businesses not only the
labor organizations and various groups
Of workers, but all the various insti-
tons; the civil and military authori-
ties negotiate with it, the entire
stored-up hatred of the imperialists
has been focused upon it and they
are constantly working to undermine
it with all the means at their disposal.
The Shanghai Trades Council is the
leading light in the joint committee,
in addition to the council, of the Stu
dent Council and the Committee of
the Street Unions which comprises
petty businessmen. The Trades Coun-
Gil has not only developed propagan-
dist and organizational activities
among the strikers, but, with the aid
Of its daily, devoted to political and
trade union affairs, and of the special
ly created press bureau, which circu-
larizes all the Chinese newspapers
with daily information bulletins, it
has exercised a decisive influence in
the moulding of public opinion and in
the growth Of the national conscious
ness of the Chinese masses. It's pres
too apnonO fbo Chopoboi xvorIrara &c
unchallenged. The latest events have
proved this beyond any doubt. Only
because it enjoys the complete con-
fidence of the great masses Of the
Shanghai workers was the Trades
Council able to put thru such a COM
plicated maneuver as was that of
shifting from the fundamental nation.
al demands to economic issues, and
retaining at the same time the in
tegrity and solidarity of the prole-
tartan front. For it must not be for
gotten that apart from the enormous
outside difficulties, the very makeup
of the body of the strikers contains
within itself tremendous handdcaps
for the mere direction of the strike,
and even more so for the execution
Of drastic strategic turns. Indeed, the
main body of the strikers consists of
textile workers, seamen and lockers,
The textile workers are in their
great majority women. Among the
lockers there are plenty of migratory,
semi-tramping elements. AS a whole
the strike movement has rallied the
entirely unframed sections of the pro-
letariat that have only recently got
