 This summertime theater move ment. by no means new thing. has reached new peak this year. Small towns and resorts in. New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania. Connecticut, Rhode Island, Mas sachusetts, Maine and several other states welcome the summer stock companies which are able to present the latest hits off Broad way, many times with the original casts, and always with costs con- taining several topnotch players.
 Permanent Companies
 In some cases the summer .com- panies are permanent. In other instances guest stars are used m various plays. and the bill ts changed at least every week ana sometimes oftener. Most Of the companies have high reputationa and some of them have been es. fabIished for several years. No' only. do Broadway players appear in them. but some of the foremost directors and managers of the metropolis are interested actively
 How can these ventures payi There are several points to tht answcr. The localities chosen ara those which it is believed will give fhe most backing Co summer stock.

 In looking over the many inter- esting hands played at the recent eastern tournament, with notes relative to the bidding and play, we find an especially interesting one played by Michael Gottlieb and T. A. Lightner in the semi- final round of the team-of-four event. They are two of the coun- try's best players and you can all ways count on either to produce the maximum with the cards he holds.
 MT Gottlieb, who was the de- clarer in the following hand, was forced to use an elimination play in order to make his contract.
 The Bidding
 MT Gottlieb sat in the S0uth-1 his partner, MT Lightner. in tho North. One heart was theopen1 ing declaration, West overcalled with two diamonds MT Lightne1 jumped to three hearts and MI Gottlieb bid four hearts whicl bought the contract.
 The Play
 Theace of diamonds was thd opening lead by West and a switch to the singleton three of spade1 was made. The small spade waa played from dummy, East played the nine, which forced declarer' ace. MT Gottlieb had now lost q diamond, it looks as if he must lose two clubs and, with the queerj of spades offside, spade. Can you see any possible way of pick ing up the extra trick needed fol game?

MASTER FARMERS"

Down in Kansas the "Kansas Farmer" has
selected ten master farmers" for 1881. The
kansas Farmer" is one of the Capper publica-
tons devoted to the task of misleading the farm
ers about the way out of their misery. The "mas-
te~ farmer" selections are part of this campaign
The selection of these ten master farmers
means that the vast majority of farmers are not
like them. The vast majority of toiling farmers
are faced now with sheriffs and tax collectors
They are threatened with eviction from their
farms because they cannot make the tribute the
bankers demand for the right to farm the land
which they have broken up and which they have
tiled for ten and twenty years These are not
master farmers" These are the small and mid
die farmers-the exploited of the land. the vast
mass of the farmers
1t is just because they are the exploited of
the land that the kansas Farmer" of Senator
Capper selects the small percentage of master
farmers" The purpose of this selection is to en-
courage and incite these exploited farmers to con-
tnue to rack their lives and those Of their wives
and children In the vain attempt to make decent
living on the land under capitalism
The United Farmers League tells the toilinr
farmers that this cannot be done. The present
crisis is brutal evidence of that The present err,
sis in which the capitalist system is crumblinp.
the terrible burden of which the capitalist class
Is trying to lay on the backs of the toilers in the
cities and on the land, is the answer Of capital
ism to all of the strivings for decent living of
the toiling farm masses of the United States.
The small and middle farmers of the United
States have nothing in common with the ten
master farmers" of Kansas The farmers of the
United States are not faced with possibility of Sc
lection by Senator Capper's kansas Farmer" as
candidates for success. They are faced with the
possibility of being evicted from their land bv
the agents of the capitalist class. They are now
enduring unprecedented misery thru the intensi
fled exploitation and oppression that the capital
Isl Is subJecting them TO in the present crisis.
They have won in the contest conducted bv the
capitalist class. They have won hunger and mis-
cry and oppression during the present crisis.
This does not satisfy the capitalist class. one
OF whose agents is Capper The capitalist class
wants the toiing masses to bear a heavier nor
ton of the burden Of the crisis It is TO hide this
1act from the farm masses that Capper and his
kansas Farmer" make the selections of "suc-
| cess"
We can succeed under capitalism. We can
succeed in repelling the attacks of the bankers
ana their sheriffs. We can succeed in organizing

COMMUNIST TICKET.
in FLORENCE, MIMI.
FOR FIRST TIME.
UFL LOCAL CALLS ON ALL
FARMERS AND WORKERS
TO VOTE COMMUNIST

Florenton, Minnesota, Feb. 29.-
For the first time in the history
of Florenton, the workers and
farmers are going to have candi-
dates running for the township
elections on the revolutionary tic
ket of the Communist Party. The
conditions of the workers and poor
farmers of Florenton have reached
point where they realize that
only by following the militant and
only political party of the working
class, the Communist Party, can
they win anything from the CAPT
talist class.
The Communist Party of Flor
enton has given militant lead
ership with the United Farmers
League in the fight for immediate
relief for the poor farmers, for
more road work, and at the pres
ent time is helping in the building
of the United Farmers League to
lead the farmers on a tax strike
as the conditions of the farmers
in Floreton are such that they will
not be able to pay their taxes. At
the same time that the Communist
Party fights for tax exemption for
/ the small farmers it demands that
the taxes be raised on rich farm
ers, bankers, the Steel Trust, cor
porations, and large land owners
so that the small farmers can be
exempted from taxation. These
capitalists that have made mil
lions of dollars out of the sweat
and toll of the workers in the
shops, mines, mills, factories, and
fields are the ones that are respon-
sible for the poverty and misery
that is the lot of the working
class that has created all the
wealth and who has Systematically
been robbed by the capitalist
class. Therefore, the Communist
Party demands that taxes be in
creased on the capitalists.
While the Communist Party
leads the workers and farmers to
fight for immediate relief, it calls
upon the workers and farmers to
organize into the Communist Par
ty as only by abolishing the CAPT.
talist system of exploitation thru
a revolutionary struggle and set
ting up a Workers and Farmers
Government can all misery and
starvation be done away with.

places. He was also among those

Meat canning and preserving has
been quite an activity the past week
due to the warm weather endanger-
ing the fresh meats most everyone
has a good supply of.
