My Dear Sir:
Farmers in Iowa are not fighting to protect
their homes from foreclosure That matter has
been taken of by the Legislature and the bill which
has been questioned in one Or two District Courts,
will, in my opinion, continue to protect them after
the Supreme Court has sent down its ruling
Please understand that the State of Iowa does
not accept demands rom individuals outside the
State The citizens fully capable of determining
the conduct of our Government and we further
more respectfully advise you that the farmers in
Iowa have in way given you authority to speak
for them I assume that when they are no longer
able to handle their affairs they will be able
to select their representatives and until that time
l would suggest that you confine your demands to
other governments rather than to the Government
of the State of Iowa.
Yours very truly,

he was trying to put over on

200 Leave, Have Only Two

Are Served

Torrington, Wyo.-A number of
local boys who were in the Gov
eminent Forest Camp at Pole
Mountain, west of Laramie, came
home. They report that 100 of
the 200 in the camp left and that
the rest will leave soon. Their
reasons for leaving were that the
food was rotten and that they had
only two blankets over them. At
the altitude of Pole Mountain,
about 5000 feet, even at this time
of year, the nights are so cold that
a warm bed is always needed. In
August two blankets would be
needed.

members and synpathizers of

James Flower, National Sec

to Governor Clyde Herring of
Iowa at the declaration of
martial law in Iowa. The

been jailed for trying to help
a fellow farmer retain his
home.
In his reply printed in the

avoid the main issue that has
arisen in the strike-the use
of the National Guard by
Governor Herring to carry
thru the foreclosure and the
