Mr.. Tom and his work are well
known and liked, because OF the dra-

county four years ago. The meet
ing held last Friday was the first
of a series OF dramatic meetings IN
which Mr. Tom trains those present
in the art of staging worth while,

meeting he took up the matter OF
directing the plays, the choosing or
characters, and methods utilized by

the cast, efficiently and effectively.

Local Cooperative Association
Directors To Meet
Saturday afternoon, Nov. 80, al
1:30 o'clock, in county agents OF
flee, the following folks have been
asked to meet: The directors Or
the Cooperative Cream Station; Co
operative Elevator; County Wool
Growers association; Livestock
Shipping association and officers OF
the Pomona grange, and directors OF
the County Farm Bureau, together
with twenty young farmers In the
county.
The purpose of this meeting is to
discuss possibilities of the coopera-
tive effort in the county in the nope
of developing an active organized
effort in the interest of all the farm
ers in Morgan county. The need fof
such an effort in our county is OBJ
viously great and the farmers are
missing real opportunity in not
taking full advantage of all that CO.
operation can accomplish for them.
President Hoover at the time the
federal farm board was formed,
made the statement that the gov
ernment could only help organized
agriculture, and without a strong
organization, farmers could not
hope to receive much benefit from
what the government might do to
help agriculture attain stronger
position in industry. Any farmer In
the county is cordially invited to
attend this meeting and help solve
some of the problems of unified CO.
operation in our county.

More Caution Noted in East
Chicago Since Federal
Activities.

Ray Times Special
HAMMOND, Ind, Aug. 10. - At
least some of the liquor vendors
taken in wholesale federal raids at
East Chicago and Indiana Harbor
Tuesday will not again have an op-
portunity to violate the dry law.
The United States government, in
advance of special grand jury
session to be held here Aug. %, is
preparing deportation proceedings
to rid the district of all those of
foreign birth taken in the raids who
are not American citizens.
Inspector Byron Goodan Is ques-
tior1ing prisoners relative to depor-
tation. Of sixty which have been
before him so far, he announces
ten are likely to be forced from the
United States. He said steps would
be taken Immediately to arraign
these for hearings to show cause
why they should not be deported.
Although East Chicago is reported
to present a chastened aspect COM
pared to pre-raid days, when it was
boasted there were as many as
eleven saloons in one block, it is also
said it is still possible to get drink.
Some of the holder purveyors of
liquor not hit by the cleanup, re-
opened shortly after the army of
dry agents left.
However, spirit of uneasiness
prevails as in no previous raids were
such figures as Nick Sudovich and
Tony zaleski, reputed lieutenants of
Al Capone, taken into custody.
District Attorney Oliver M. Loom
is refuses to say whether the raids
last week are to be continued. He
has expressed hope that some of
the prisoners may divulge informa-
ton to aid him in investigating al
legged frauds in the Lake county
election of November, 1928.
