He had also barricaded the front
of the court house with two big
county trucks chained together
and to the railing, so that he
would be sure to keep these farm

admitting only two or three at a
time. He finally came out and
said he would admit no more
farmers into the courthouse.

in by truck loads, with a deter

out and announced that the sale
had been called off. The farmers

FAKER EXPOSED
Organizing Meeting Brings
Results In Mass Protest
on Foreclosure
(BY J. M

Leetonia, Ohio, Feb. 2O.-Things
are happening so fast in Ohio that
l hardly have time either to keep
in touch with events or to tell
about them.
We have built up a fighting
group in my own community which
is pledged to stop all forced sales,
of which we have a number in the
offing.
l spoke to about eco farmers in
Lancaster, Ohio, ON Feb. IL. 1t
was terrible night-cold and icy
on the roads-but the farmers
turned out. After the meeting a
group of farmers came up and
asked me how to conduct "p:nny
auction" These auctions have be-
come popular here and are occur
ring even in the cities and towns.
PENNY AUCTION INSTRUC-
TION
/ instructed the fellows at. Lam
caster and the following day a
young farmer went there to help
them out. / have had no report
from the sale but l believe it went
thru.
/ went to the section around To-
ledo in Henry and Wood counties,
last Tuesday for the first time.
At Napoleon l prevented a bunch
of takers from capitalizing the
farmers movement by breaking
into their meeting. By this act ]
won the support of the majority of
the 800 farmers present who also
bought 200 pieses of literature
They insisted that l stay a week
and invited me to a meeting OF
the Tax League that evening.
EXPOSES TAX LEAGUERS
In the evening, after a politician
judge, and several rich farmers
spoke, a demand was raised thai
I get the floor. l took the floor
and attacked the chairman WIKI
had previously, in an underhandeC
way, attacked the farmers who
conduct "penny auctions" He re
ferred to the farmers as selfish
people who are willing to breal
the law to further their own ends
l then went after the Judge VIII
said that THE LAW MAKES HIN

plauded and no one dared reply
Later l went out to get a drinl
of water. A banker seized thu
opportunity to attack me but

fight between school authorities and

on appropriations has recommended
that the various interested groups get
together and work out an inexpensive
solution to the problem.

DR.: Frank w. Ballou. superintendent
of schools, told the committee. the ex-
penditure of 100000 for installing
scenery lofts and steel curtains in the
Central and Dunbar High School audi
toriumS was unjustifled. Engineer
Commissioner Gotwals pointed out that
this equipment had added materially
to the cost of new schools He also
declared that the steel curtains were
not of any particular use, but the fire
marshal's Office insisted they were es-
Sential
Calvin G. LAUDER, fire marshal made
a strong defense of the steel curtains in
his testimony and declared that the
equipment is necessary to reduce the
fire hazard.
After a protracted discussion, Chair
man Cannon said:

CURRENCY WAS NEEDED

The total amount of money of all
kinds in the United States, according to
the official government figures for the
year 1882, was little more than $4,000
100000.
Of this $4,000, 100000 little more
than $4,000, 100000 was not in circulation,
being held in reserve in the treasury.
Thus the sum of about $4,000, 900, 900
was available for trade purposes and of
this sum considerable amount was being
boarded or locked up in safe deposit
boxes for the purpose of coneealing in
come returns.
Allowing the sum of $1,000,O00, 900
to represent this inactive money and we
have only about Sc, 1000, 900 cash of all
kinds This would mean less than $1.00
in real money for the purposes of exchange
and distribution of more than $4,000 in
actual intrinsic value.
Is it any wonder that the channels of
trade became clogged because of lack of
cash?
Currency was in demand and when
the demand grew in the hectic days of
1929 the public could not get it, and not
understanding why they couldn't get it,
they became frightened.
A liberal supply of currency would
probably have helped matters at that time.

Britain's attitude toward hostilities in the
Far East.
As reported by the Associated Press,
purchasing agents representing China and
Japan CHANGED to meet in the waiting room
of London munitions manufacturer and
during some delay in obtaining an
audience with the head of the firm they
engaged in friendly conversation.
1 Finally they got to comparing the
prices they were paying for war material
and decided that both were paying too
much. They agreed to go to the manu-
facturer together and do little collective
bargaining" BY putting up united front
