Farmers Reject Holiday
Leaders" Plan for

ACT BY MARCH |
Holiday Association Must
Rally for Mass Struggle
Not for Legality"
tpY W. H.

Dakota City, Neb., Jan. 49,
Farmers, about 500 strong, from
Dickson, Thurston and Dakota
county Holiday associations came
together In Dakota City several
days ago and stopped foreelos-
ure sale.
The sheriff had exercised his
right TO refuse all sealed bids.
This compelled the loan company
to have their representative bid In
person. He was there In person,
but so were the 500 farmers and
he did not dare TO bid. That was
the end Of that sale.

FARMERS MILITANT

From II a. m. TO after p. m.
the Holiday Assn. held a meeting
TO discuss the present situation.
The farmers were much more
militant than the county chairman

than the precinct chairman.
Those who seem 10 think that
they are organized to lead the
farmers suddenly decided that
they had a legal may for the Holi'
day Association TO act In making
settlements between the farmers
and their creditors. This was By

ON POOR RELIEF
Communities Must Provide
Part of Aid, Book

there still are more than 10000
families in Indiana requiring public
aid
The federal administration has
gone so far as to inform certain
states that unless they arranged
programs by which substantial parts
of the cost of relief would be met
locally. federal aid, even in its pres
ent form. would be withdrawn"
He added that the program of
some communities may include fed
eral aid. direct taxation. and sale
of bonds. but that there must be a
program adequate to meet needs of
coming months.
1T seems to us to i'll become any
group in a community which has
been receiving. for months, federal

relief bills. to protest because it will

was convicted last spring on a
charge of melting insurrection

Herndon was arrested in Geor-
gia for his activities as a Com
munist organizer and propaganda
list. He was held eleven days on
suspicion without benefit of coun-
sci. After a thlee-day trial. dur
ing which time the all-white jury
de liberated two houIs, Herndon
was given his sentence by the ju-
ry. The charge carried possible
death sentence or a prison term
from five TO twenty-five years.
The state based its case on the
fact trat Herndon was Com
mnnist organizer and on the lit
erature found on him. The state
claimed that Herndon was seek
ing to overthrow the established
government and set a Commun-
istic one up instead.

TENNIS CHAMPS
RETAIN TITLES

HAMPTON INST, Va.-Before
1000 spectators the king and the
queen of Negro tennis retained
their crowns in their respective
events. Reginald Weir of New
York successfully defended his
title in the final round of the
mems singles event here Satur-
day. Miss Ora Washington "a
gain demonstrated that she is
still the mistie ss of the courts.
This marked the third successive
time that Weir has won the pre-
mier laurels, while Miss Wash
iI9gton has reached her seventh
milestone of championships.
The New You ker, Weir, left no
doubt in the minds of the tennis
enthusiasts that he is the master
OF the game. The score of OF,
ca. 60 Is evidence that his OPP
ponent, Nathaniel Jackson, the
Tuskegee star and intercollegiate
champion, will need to improve
his game just a bit more to win
the national title.
IN the women's singles, the
rooters for the champion, Miss
Washington, were aghast after
Miss Citizens took the first set
at 60; but when the match was
over the final score of O-6. 6-3,
60 gave them the opportunity
