WANNA, MINI. = Our Young
Workers (Communist) League, which
was organized in August, 1925, by our
Cloquet (Minn. comrades, is not pro-
crossing as rapidly as we would wish
it to. 1t is hard to get new members,
as most of the young workers would
rather pocket their coin than use it to
better their conditions.
We meet every second and fourth
Sundays at our 'Sovinto Society HALF
at p. M, and such questions as
"Why should the workers organiza-
lions and cooperative societies work
together to make better Roadway" are
discussed. We also have studied why
it is necessary for the cooperative
stores to have their own WHOLESALERS
or exchanges. We decided to elect
committee of three to represent our
league in the community cooperative
meetings.
At present we are having a mem
bership campaign, and we hope to get
at least two members from each sec
ton Of our town. 1t is very impor-
tant that we get more members, for
two reasons: First, to get more young
workers within our ranks; second, to
get our league on better financial
basis.
1t is our sincerest wish that all
farming communities join the Young
Workers (Communist) League and
help better the conditions of the work
ers all around.

Italian Spy Confesses
That He Doublecrossed
Fascist Police Bureau
(speelaI to Lac Daily Workerl

GENOA, March PA sensational
espionage affair has been uncovered
here by the arrest of an Italian
named Fiorij, former captain in an
Italian artillery regiment during the
world war. He was taken in custody
at San Reno,
Altho the police are trying to pre-
vent the facts from becoming public in
order to secure clues for the arrest
of those who were his aceomplices it
is known that Fiorij was deprived of
his rank in the war because of deser-
ton. After the armistice he was hired
by the Italian government, despite his
desertion record, to spy upon the avia-
ton departments Of Spain, France, and
England. He speaks all three Ian
guages fiuently.
DoubIe-crosses Employers.
Dissatisfied with his reports, the
Italian police cut off his allowance.
In this predicament he applied to the
police head at San Reno for a job, de-
scribing himself as an experienced
secret service agent. The police chief
doubted his explanations and had him
Swallowed. In his hotel room were
found documents which proved that
he had been embarrassing his Ital-
ian employers. The very countries
on which he was supposed to spy had
hired him to do espionage work for
them in Italy.
His mistress, an English woman,
was his collaboration. He had refused
to reveal her whereabouts.

erty. Considerable debris was left

ed, but without serious damage. The

probably runs well into the hundreds
of dollars. Mud was washed into the

promptly removed by the aid of a fire

This is one of the fine features of

showing the kind Of people that are
in the hotels.
At the Christian Adventist Church
they had number Il visitors from
other places as Sunday was the open

ne morning and .'le afternoon, Rev
J. A. Downs. Of Charlotte preaching
IN the afternoon and at the e'-a~i1g
hour at the usual vesper services.
These vesper services have been
an interesting and helpful feature of
the church services during the latter
part of the summer, bringing the
various congregations and pastors to-
gether in the most pleasing way. One
fine thing that might be said about
the churches of Boone is that they
are not fighting each other but are
working in beautiful harmony and
uniting their influence for the right
things.

On Sunday morning abou. 900
O'Clock the Bradley store, located at
the intersection of the Boore Trail
and the road leading to jefferson.
was burglarized by a man named
Hanes, said to be an ex-soldier and
recently of Florida. The store was
entered by breaking the glass from
rear window. About seventy-five
dollars was taken from the cash
drawer The culprit was appre-
hended and Immediately placed in
Jail, where he was found to have in
his possession quantity of NOR
phne, together with a hypodermic
needle. His crazed condition indi-
Gated that he had used the narcotic
to an excess, which doubtless was in
a part responsible for the commission
of the crime.
A brother Of Hanes, who has been
n Boone for several days, was ar
rested Monday, as was King Sergeant
Frank Lewis, who has been here
since the recent fiddlers' convention,
Of which he was the promoter.
They were charged with being ac-
cessories to the theft, but for lack of
evidence Justice Of the Peace John
" Hodges released them promptly.
The culprit is in Jail and will be
tried at the next term OF Superior
Court.
