DeerbrOOk, Wis, March Il.
On March IL a mass meet
ing was held at Smetanas
Hall at Neva. About $50
farmers and their wives at
tended beside the county
agent, reporters and other per-
sons.
The meeting was presided over
by Frank Denk, Jr., who outlined
the purpose of the meeting and
asked for solidarity against our
common foe, the loan hounds. Alex
Schauffelburger, member of the
action committee of Lincoln coun-
ty who spoke first cited many ex-
amples of how we are exploited by
the rich. He declared, "YOu farm
ers are here for one reason, you
have at last begun to think fol
yourselves" His talk was very
much to the point.
CRISIS PART OF SYSTEM
The next speaker, Arthur Tim
son, said, "This is not depres-
sion, this is a crisis, not caused
by any crook or politician or any
break down of the price system
1t is brought on by the very ma
ture of the system itself under
which we live" He spoke in de-
tail on the bills labeled farm re
lief" over which Congress is hav
ing a headache and said they arr
meant to favor only few ant
not the mass of toiling farmers.
He exposed Schmedeman, tn
Governor of Wisconsin, as dema
gogue whose relief program ha
turned out to be joke, doing &C
tually more harm than good. Fo
instance, Schmedeman extende
redemption period after foreclos
ure from one to three years pro
viding payments Of taxes, insur
ance, and interest be kept up. H
abolished the deficiency judgmen
; but at the same time forbade tn
2 Oscars Roebuck" sales. Commit
r mittees of Conriliation were sc
e up which require fees for thei
f work but have positively no pow
ers whatever. They just brea
up farm organization.
MUST BAND TOGETHER

S that in order to force concession
e and secure relief we must bar

(BY E. K.)

Sebeka, Mimi, March I'm the
Crosby Courier, dated March 2
there appeared an article entitled
CROSBY Citizens, How do you like
This" Then there was an article
taken from the Duluth Evening
Herald in which the Mayor of
Crosby, Emil Nygaard, is reported
to have stated the following:
81 had the workers organize an
advisory council to assist me in
running the town and we abolished
the police force and substituted
workers patrols to keep order. We
have no trouble. The bank shut
down just before l was elected
but ! forced the bankers to re-
lease city funds and instituted
measures to increase employment
90 per cent. / am under the di-
rect discipline of the Communist
party"
AS FAR FROM THE TRUTH
AS one present at many meet
ings at which Emil Nygard spoke
wish to say that do not like
the way some newspapers report
what Mayor Nygard says at the
meetings. 1t is as far from the
truth as could be. l read lots Of
rubbish that is supposed to be
true but when / read such junE
as this / get sick because it II
not only lie but the capitalist
newspapers have been putting
words in Mayor Nygard's mouth
too long for anybody with an!
sense to care to read any more
such articles.
Now if these newspapers wante
a truthful report of that meeting
(but the Crosby Courier doesn'
want the truth) here is what EN-
Nygard did say,
''When / was elected mayor the
frs ,Aing / did was to call al
vefFcrs organizations to elect
a delegate to a workers advis-
DRY council. When any questions
come up in the city council
take it to the workers advisory
council before / vote, and ! vote
the way they vote"
In regards to the police fore
the Mayor said,
AT the city council meeting
called for the suspension of thu
police commissioner and whel
they wouldn't do that / calIet
for the doing away with tn
police force. When the cOunci
members asked how / wOul'
keep order said that the wOrl
ers could be given clubs and sh'
guns and be organized in work
ere patrols TO keep order"
All the rest of what Nigga
said has been taken from the {
mands which the mayor present
at st. Paul, during the Worke
and Farmers Hunger March, i
his city.
The only true statement in I
report Of Nygard's speech as W
printed in the Crosby Courier q
che Duluth Herald was,
II am under the strict disciT
line of the Communist party"

SET UP COUNTY !ORGA-

A county organization was set
up in addition to several town To-
Gals to facilitate further spreading
of the United Farmers League.
Four delegates were elected TO go
to the Wisconsin State Relief Con-
ference, held at Madison on March
5 and 6.
On the return of the delegates
from Madison a meeting was held
at my house at which the dele
gates gave full report of the
State Conference. The farmers
were very enthusiastic about the
reports, particularly concerning
the solidarity between us and the
city workers.

SO far we here in Langlade |

but we had no means to unite our
neighbOrs for a common fight
against the bankers and the rich
farmers.
However, the farmers have at
last realized that only mass or
ganization against their enemies
can save their homes and what
ever amount of independence still
remains here.
UFL GETS RESULTS
Lincoln county, adjoining US, or
ganized the United Farmers
League around New Years time,
under the leadership of Arthur
Timpson. They are carrying on
vigorous fight and have forced re-
lief concessions i'm some cases and
have frightened several mortgage
holders into postponing sales or
giving better terms. This includes
clash between Timpson and the
Judge who happened to be a big
mortgage holder. Besides, they
are fighting hard to drive a lot
of grafters from office.
We decided to organize as soon
as possible. On February % we
were called to a meeting of the
Committees of Action of Lincoln
County by William Allikas, field
organizer of the United Farmers

SEVEN YEARS TO GRUBBING
OUT STUMPS
Well, seven years of my life
went to grubbing out stumps for
the Rural Credit Bureau and they
were hard years, too. Even when
prosperity was here we had to
work in the harvest fields and in
the woods in the winter TO pay the
interest to guy that never grub
bed in his life. l figured it up
one night and if it had not been
for the interest we would have
had the darned farm paid for.
/ Another thing / couldn't under
stand was the fact that when we
took a piece of land that didn't
have a darn thing on it except
stumps, and by dint of lot OF
muscle turned it into land that
produced food, we got our taxes
raised 200 per cent.
have come to the conclusion
that the banker has his fist in il
on both ends. You see our big
rise in taxes was to pay the bank
err his interest again. You see hi

and got the people to vote bondi

Gated that such a motion would
