the town of Archer. This is purely
clerical error and was not MOTTO

well to be drilled, called upon the
editor of the Producers News and

Temporary Life Preserver
Not so many years ago an hon

in a fertile valley, the richest and
most adaptable on earth. He toiled
long hours and endless seasons to
draw from the earth its bounty.
For time he managed through
privations and sacrifices to make
ends meet. But soon out of the east
strong current descended into the
valley. The farmer battled to stem
the rising tide but to no avail. The
water grew ever higher and at last
he realized that he must secure
help or drown. Then it was that his
pretended friends assembled on the
