3. The farmers should have been
given an opportunity to faniliarize
themselves with the Communist posi-
ton on agriculture. The Presidents
program, designed to strengthen the
kulaks, appropriate or reduce to an
impoverished peasantry the great
mass of farmers, should have been
concretely exposed. The slogan:
Cancellation of farm debts and taxes,
should have been clarified and
brought forward. The collectivization
of agriculture should have been
brought forward as the only per-
manent solution of the farmers
problems. 1t should have been boldly
pointed out that while there are
millions of units in agriculture
capable of deluging an ever narrow

peting with one another, only the

I believe the Party must bring for

boldness and speed than in the past

Tiala Arrested
ITALIA, Mrs. ITALIA, and Jesse Ham
of Syracuse, Ind, were arrested
about $40 p. m, as well as two
local farmers. They were kept in
Court House behind locked doors
until after the sale was over. They
lined a half dozen state police on
the steps of the court house in
front of the bidder of the farm and
deputy with gas bombs and riot guns.
Farmers talked of rushing them
and probably would if they had been
organized better.
The two local farmers were turned
loose. Alfred ITALIA, his wife, and
Jesse Ham were taken out of town
after the sale to Goshen, we learned
later.

charges are resisting an officer. The

more serious charges against them.
Elkhart Truth says they have re-

Every reader Of the Daily Worker
should send a letter of protest to
the Governor Paul v. McNutt, as
well as President Roosevelt, and the

convict. but they are doing all they
can to discourage organization in

In certain stomach ailments, fer
mentation of the food takes placs
with formation Of lurtyric or Of lac
tic acid and a corresponding foul
odor. This is easily distinguished
from the laden breath which devel-
ops when the stomach has remained
empty for longer period than
habitual. We are all acquainted with
the 'beery" odor of the confirmed
beer guzzler, due to stale beer; the
heavy breath of the whisky drinker,
due to chronic gastritis; the acid
effulgence of the constant smoker
and the heavy. redolance of those
who prefer onions, garlic or lin
burger cheese, to the purest breath.
Infammationsocof the nose and
sinuses are liable to cause the de-
velopment of a slightly disagreeable
odor. The most offensive nasal eff
f1uvium occurs In. the relatively rare
disease known as Ozena. Abscess
of the lung will develop a most fetid
exhalation. But the foulest of all
smells, and the only one which is
actually nauseating in it's pungency
takes place in gangrene of the lung;
fortunately rare condition.
Certain poisens impart charac-
teristic odor to the breath. Thus.
hydrocyanic acid can be detected BY
the scent of bitter almonds; phos-
phorus suggests garlic; while ar
senic and valerian are strongly REM
iniscent of onion.
Finally, there aare a number OF
diseases which are sometimes dag
nosed by the breath. In advanced
diabetes, fragrance like overripe
apples comes from the mouth, which
changes into that of vinegar when
the patient becomes comatose Gum
consciously. In severe kidney trouble.
there is smell of ammonia in the
breath; in obstruction of the bowel
there is the stencil of feces; in adj
vanced cancer of the stomach and,
to lesser degree, in severe gastric
ulcers, there is the unmistakable
putrid emanation of rotting flesh

WABASH, Ind. Farmers at a
meeting at Leesburg, Ind, Jan. 10,
voted to stop a foreclosure sale of
ISL acres belonging to Clarence
Gearhart a couple miles west Of
Leesburg, Ind. On Saturday, Jan.
20, they elected a committee of three
to see Federal Loan Bank attorney
Bowser Of the Warsaw, Ind, county
seat. Attorney Bowser called the
Louisville, KY, bank. Afer waiting
an hour. the bank called Gearhart,
the owner of the farm and refused
to give him another year extension
on his mortgage. BY this time 200
or 300 farmers had gathered. They
filed out on the courthouse steps,
and the sheriff started to hold the
sale about II a. m.
A spokesman for the committee of
farmers explained what the farmers
had decided to do at the farm meet
ing, and asked them if they wanted
to see the sale go through. Farm
ers yelled, No! No! and when the
sheriff began again they booed him
until he could not proceed.

Bowser wanted to make a speech,
but the farmers yelled him down
and crowded around him as we'll as

out in the court house lawn about
100 feet SO he could not bid.
A deputy exploded tear gas in the
center of the crowd. The farmers
were fighting mad and chased him
into the courthouse, and the depu-
ties exploded another one on the
courthouse steps. The sheriff and
deputy locked themselves in the
courthouse until a big force of state
police with riot guns and gas ar
rived about 3 o'clock. The Warsaw
police had not appeared until the

At Lenin Memorial
Meeting in Bemidji
Ry a worker CORRESPONDENT

BEMIDJI, Minn.-In this locality,
the workers as well as the farmers
in the surrounding territory are ex-
periencing Roosevelt's New Deal.
When the Communist Party units
decided to hold Lenin memorial
meeting here, and circulated leaf
lets to advertise the meeting, the
city bosses through threats got the
owner of the hall where the meeting
was to be held from giving us the
use of the hall. When committee
went up to the City Attorney to find
out what was the reason for not let
ting the meeting going through, he
Immediately told the committee he
objected to the slogan "Fi g h
agains the starvation wage level of
the MIRA codes" and to the other
calling for the defense of the Soviet
Union.
When the workers and farmers
heard about the actions of the city
officials it caused intensive discus
sion.
The committee went to the Coun-
ty Court House and got this for the
meeting.
Despite the confusion resulting
from such short notice, close to
200 workers and farmers jammed
the Court House.
The District secretary of Young
Communist League, Comrade Hal
berg. spoke on what he saw while
on his travels in the Soviet Union
The applauding and the questions
showed the deep feeling among the
workers here for the defense of the
Soviet Union.
A large amount of literature and

ers joined the Communist Party

GAS CITY, Ind.-A rest of 20
minutes in preparation for spending
the next 40 minutes at a tank with
a terrific temperature doesn't seem
very long. But it is good deal bet
ter than no rest periods at all for
six terrific hours. This is what we
boys who work on the machines at
the Owens Illinois Glass Co. at Gas

month.
A nice outlook for 1884 for a bunch

hands and faces blistered even I'M

nice outlook for those workers who
are still on the job. For this new
routine has enabled them to lay off
Is more men from this department.
This is what the government code
has come to mean in every depart
ment in this factory: Our co-Work-
ers laid off and our own conditions
made increasingly unbearable. And
we know that our factory isn't an
exception.
Well, when you work till you're
staggering, and pay $40 to SIS a
month for houses that aren't fit for
cow barns, and pay 20 to IS per cent
more for food, the talk the bosses
put out in the newspapers doesn't
carry much weight.
The loaning gangs in the shipping
department here are driven so hard
that they don't get more than two or
three days work per week. And
even that is supposed to be a privi-
lege.
The women workers are not better
off. In the packing room they are
forced to work at top speed with no
rest at all. Women who tape the
boxes work with their fingers bleed
ing and are always getting bawled
out by the boss. The women have a
good example of the MIRA, too; in
the corrugated department zach one
is doing what two used to do before.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

PARIS (UP)-With one day hot enought to fry eggs on cafe table tops and the next blowing up a wind that belongs in November. the problem of dressing becomes almost distressing.
 Whether to begin with bathing suit and slip over it fluffy print ed silk frock or organdie ensemble. or to say chiffon foundation and finish off with wool or tweed suit is not the question but at least it is two answer to the bizaare situa- tion.
 The atmospheric change all in the same day which Is bad for the breadwinners who leave homef at seven-thirty and can't get back to change until six p.m.. The shop window-trimmer are running their legs off putting summer things on display and then snatching them away and showing warmer things more in keeping with the instant. Some of them have just given up and put out for exhibit everything from bathing suits to fur coats. And the poor moths don't know what to do either. They get a grand bite of fur one morning for breakfast and the next find them selves suffocated by mothballs. Maybe 1t is sign of the times and a condition to teach us that incon- sistency is the only constant quality in the world, be it, in politics economics or fashion.
 Therefore. all Paris can tell you now, lowering on the brink of her winter wardrobe display, is that most anything goes, and the main thing is to be comfortable if you can

The good men in that clique usually omit the trick initials. The little fel- lows parade them. The right ans- wer to the brass specialist in such circumstance is "Oh, yeah? Good bye, Doctor"
