New York, N. Y.-"The farm
ers' strike movement, which is
sweeping through the middle west
and spreading to all parts of the
country, has the complete support
of the Communist party and the
revolutionary workers." declared
VIM. 2. Foster, Communist Presi-
Dental Candidate, in an interview
given to the press recently from
his sick bed. "The Communist
party alone of all the political
parties operating in America to-
day supports the struggles of the
farmers to relieve their catastro-
phic situation which is rapidly de-
stroying the possibility of life FOR
them.
"The policy of the Hoover gov
eminent" said the Communist can
didate, "openly proclaims the ne
cessity of driving hundreds OF
thousands of farmers off the land
and into the bread lines of the
cities. It proclaims the necessity
of the deliberate destruction o.
one-third of the crops, while mil

One-Eyed Auto Puts
A. Foley on Shelf
With Injured Leg

Albert Foley came out of the
Palubicki store about $50 Satur-
day evening and started to cross
the street to the Plentywood hotel.
Charles Hilyard had stopped his
truck in the street and as Albert
walked around in front of it a car
driven by George LAGRANGE, of
near Outlook passed, striking Fo-
ley, knocking him down and run
ming over him. LAGRANGE picked
up the PROSTATE form of the dazed
Foley, loaded him into his car and
took him to the hospital for an
examination. Upon arrival there
he was informed by an attendant
that the injured man was alright
and to take him to his room in the
Plentywood hotel. Foley was con-
fined to his room for several days
and is unable at present to walk
due to an injured leg. Aside
from that and numerous bruises
and a severe shaking up the in
jured man is feeling pretty good
He says that when he stepped
past the Hilyard truck he was con
fused by the approaching car hav
ing only one light.

League works directly against the
workers and farmers.
In this county the farmers and
workers have a good chance of
electing their own farmer candi-

sheriff will not evict any farmer

that the government is aking all
the wheat we haul to the elevators

What shall we do is the question

the fake politicians know this so
they come out with fake programs

mislead US and take the vote away

is composed of only farmers and
workers and fight for our in
terest only.
The Republicans and Democrats
come out under the banner of
economy. But they can't fool us
by the kind of economy we know
they use. They have merely
economical us out of house and
home and as they admitted, lately,
they intend to economic on Civ

poor fund.
If this bunch of politicians are
elected it will mean that they will
try to freeze to death the farmers
of the Comertown community, who
were hailed out and have not a
cent to buy coal with. There are
many farmers in the county who
are in the same fix. We are not
going to cut our own throat by
voting for this bunch. But now
we have the Liberty party coming
out with a supposed to be pro-

They say we must take he
power away from those who now
have it. They expect to do this
