be doing something wrong.
e. r..
AnSwer-You are. Don't rub
the buffer back and forth across
the top Of the nail. Buff one
half of the nail on each finger
and then go back and buff the
other half. In this WY a beau
tiful luster is obtained and no
unnecessary friction set up. OF
course, the most effective
method, and the easiest way Of
obtaining polish on the nails is
by the use Of liquid polish,
which you put on with a brush.

Shadow the Eyes


Question: Is there anything
/ can do for my eyes? My
lids are heavy and my eyes
do not "cIear" until late in
the morning. L. H.
Answer: Evidently you do
not know the joy Of the
morning eye bath. I think you
will find that your eyes will
feel refreshed if you use a
good one regularly. Use eye
shadow on your lids, not
much, and blend it to lessen
the heavy look. Several screen
stars have your kind of eyes
and use them to advantage.

and Pepper was back in the room, running
over to Granny, hugging her excitedly.

Tucked neatly into her bed the shades Of her

THEY were the first words she spoke when

Granny gasped. "You-you meant don't

"All the girls hitch-hiked. They had

In New Mexico, Miss Fait had been
standing in the desert for five hours
waiting for a lift while night ap-

The automobile which Miss Falt
eventually hailed was driven by a
drunken man. Miss Fait did not know
this until he let the car roll down an
embankment. She was bruised and the
driver somewhat more seriously injured

The Third Betrayal

Asst WEEK The Producers News charged Milo Reno with
being nsncere in calling the farm strike We states
to head off the militant actions that small and middle
farmers everywhere resortng to-" By calling off the
strike Reno admits the truth of these charges.
The rank-andfe of the Holiday had vocie in Renos
decision to strike They likewise had voice in Renos
decision to call off the strike.
The strike called without the slightest preparation
to make it effective The demands of the srikean NRA
currency initiation the greatest confusion among
the farmers. Yet these fake demands are nowhere
near realized Then why did call off the strike Mr. Reno?
If we were not already convinced that you are faker
and conscious miseader of the farmers then might
think extremely irresponsible strike is serious
thing requires careful planning with minute prepara
tons for effective pcetng to close down markets Per-
feet coordination and unity must be effected between the
various local groups of farmers and groups of pcets The
demands must be clearly formulated and must be the
expression OF the most intimate needs Of the farmers

es and militia, must be prepared for.
When you fail for the third time to take measures
which will insure then it is not bungng in

preaching faith in the governors conference which met in
Sioux City Sept 9, 1882 You betrayed the strike

Now you call off this last strike because
also to the bankers pan for an MIRA code for initiation

supposed to sit quietly and have faith in politicians
and their relief" measures
No. Mr. Reno your actions leave doubt in our minds
You faker and demagogue of the worst sort You
utter radical phrases but your actions of the
tonary character possible.
But what could expect from who is the pres
dent of two insurance companies? What could expect
from self appointed leader who when he calls strike of
farmers meets not with the farmers but with the represen-
taves of the trust the banks and grain spectators
We expect nothing but treachery from "leader" of
this sort We are learning that trust nothing but
our own action.
In Chicago at the Farmers Second National Conference
we ranland-ile farmers going to plan strike We
will formulate demands not in secret meetings with high
saared officials but in open discussion the floor of the
Conference where dirt farmer delegates will make the de-
cisions. And when will call the strike shall make

OVERCOMING
OUR WEAKNESSES


The United Farmers League has
been organized to draw the i'm
poverished farmers into the strug-
gle to save their farm homes and
to improve the living conditions
in those homes. Some U.F.L. To-
Gals have been very successful in
drawing their members and other
farmers as well into these strug-
giles, thus proving that it can be
dore. Many locals, however, have
not succeeded in drawing non
members into joint activities. A
thorough analysis of the following
questions may help the backward
locals in overcoming their weak
nesses.
1. Do the members of the local
know about the farmers and fami-
lies in their community who need
relief? Have the members set
themselves the task of finding
these cases and reporting them at
meetings?
2. Do the members make it their
task to keep in touch with their
neighbors, find out their circum-
stances, whether they are threat
ened with foreclosures or forced
sales ?
8. Do the members regard their
backward neighbors as hopeless
and repel them with ridicule or
brusque remarks, forgetting that
the backward farmers are some of
the material from which our or
ganization win have to be built /?
A. Do the members explain to
the backward farmers, patiently.
that we must do for ourselves as
a class what we have been in the
past expecting politicians and pro-
fessional leaders to do for us
5. Are the members of the local
setting an example of a correct
working class conduct toward the
