order. No one should hesitate to
ask for help because of any false
pride. 1t is his duty to see that
his family has food.
In the Red Cross story there is a
paragraph about the damage a
general appeal for aid will do this
country. This is just so much rot
calculated to keep down the de-
mand for aid. There are none
nowadays loaning any money or
making any investments in this
country and it will never occur a
gain under this economic system.
This is hOoey peddled by those who
don't yet realize that capitalism
has collapsed and that such hokum
is passe. If the Red Cros can
raise more money by special ap-
peal it is their duty to do it for
there is plenty of need for every
cent it has and all the more it can
get. When its funrs are exhausted
then the federal government will
supply food and clothing to the
frmers and workers even if it has
to commander it-and the gov
eminent does not act the hungry
and naked people are going to act.
The people in this land of plenty
are neither going to starve nor
freeze this winter and the quicker
everyone understands the less
thouble there is going to be.
And the farmers and workers
are preparing aaginst that day.
farmers are organizing rapidly in
Sheridan county in the United
Farmers League and the jobless
workers are organizing into unem-
tployed councils. The United Farm
ers League relief committees are
going to take control of relief in
the northwest and are going to see
to it that there is food and clothing
and fuel until next harvest and
gas and seed for farming next
spring, and adequate feed for the
cattle this winter.
The farmers are not going to
wait for some nice kind hearted
lady bountiful to come to their res
cue with pretty language and little
substance.
The U. F. L. speakers will go in
to territories where there is plen-
ty of vegetables and will ask for
them from their fellow farmers.
Then they will see to it that the
railroads haul them out free, where
its relief committees will attend to
distribution-there will be ND red
tape-no profits for prune peddlers
but all will &c to the needy.

WHY BLAME THE MAIL
-. CARRIER?

In answer to your article, Notice
to Mail Carriers, in last issue of
the Producers News: You insinu-
ated that Mail Carriers are the
cause of papers not reaching their
destination on time. l notice tire
past weeks that the paper has no
special days to arrive, but seems
to come on all days of the week.
Why lay the blame on the postal
employees as we have to get them
before we can deliver them?
