Produce Market Notes

The produce markets in large east
ern cities have Iapsed into dullness
since the Thanksgiving holiday and
do not yet show the effect Of early
buying for the year-ahd holidays.
Trade is slow and price changes
small. Sweet potatoes. celery, west
ern peas and lettuce have shown
strong market action for sometime
past but were only holding their own
the first week of December. Pota-
toes, onions, cabbage and apples
were about steady in price. Oranges
and grapefruit have declined rather
sharply under heavy supplies.
CarlOt shipments are at the rate
of about 1000 cars per week. which
is about as usual for the time of
year but heavier than last year 1T
this time because of liberal move
ment of citrus fruit, cabbage and
miscellaneous southern produce
Potato shipments continue light. Ar
rivals of apples, sweet potatoes ard
c'Dons are moderate and decreasing

Be Careful What You Say.

I'm speaking of a persons faults,
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember those of homes of glass
Should never throw a stone.
If We had nothing else to do
Than to talk of those who sin,
'Tis better we commence at home,
And from that point begin.
I'VE have no right to judge a man
Until he is fairly tried;
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults
And who has not? ~
The old as well as young;
Perhaps we may, for aught we know,
Have fifty to their one.
Then let us all, when we begin
To slander friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word may do
To those we little know.
Remember, curses sometimes, like
Our chickens roost at home.
Don't speak of others faults
Until you have none of your own"

vided by the banks for the use of
their customers in the bank to draw
out cash. in place of using the usual
checking form. These receipt forms
are not negotiable and are non-tax-
able.
Little falling off was noted, how
ever. in the great majority of check
ing account holders, except that
there was a tendency to issue checks
in larger amounts and fewer of
them, each check regardless of size,
being subject to the two-cent tax.
The revenue thus derived was sent
by the banks each month TO the U.
S. Treasury, subject to check uD by
the Treasury. All types Of checks
were affected, including the certi-
fled, cashier, treasurers' and travel
ers'.
The tax has never meant any,
thing to the banks, except addition
al bookkeeping expense, multitudin-
Gus explanations and unwarranted
criticism from a few unthinking
customers, one bank officer said.

DO AS You'd Be Done By
By BENJAMIN B. KEECH

If you'd help the world a bit,
Do as you'd be done by;
If you'd help to brighten it,
Do as you'd be done by;
If you have a blessing, let
Some one share it; don't forget,
Selfishness will bring regret
Do as you'd be done by.
If you'd help the world along,
Do as you'd be done by;
If you'd help to fight the wrong,
Do as you'd be done by;
Sing a happy, gladstone song,
Sing it steady. sing it long.
Sing it to the lis'ning throng-
Do as you'd be done by.
If you'd help the world today,
Do as you'd be done by;
If you would its grief allay,
Do as you'd be done by;
Say your kind words while you may,
Do your kind deeds right away,
Peace shall come with you to stay
Do as you'd be done by.
Let the old world sneer at you-
Do as you'd be done by;
Keep your purpose strong and true
Do as you'd be done by;
Every unkind deed you dc
Bears it's seed of bitter rue:
Don't expect the good in lieu
Do as you'd be done by.

PENNY SALE SAVES
MACHINERY, COWS
OF MINI. FARMER
U.F.L. Conducts Sale; Sc
Is Bid On Plow, &c
on Harrow
By RENO TANTTILA

KETTLE RIVER, Minn.-Under
the leadership of the United Far
mers League, farmers of this ter
ritory conducted a Sears-Roebuck
sale here Oct. 16 on a part of
the chattel property of Andrew
Leppioja, a poor farmer of Kala-
vala township.
This farmer wanted the United
Farmers League to save two cows
and the farm machinery for him
so that he would have some means
of continuing farming. The ma
chinery and cows bidded in by a
farmers committee Melted the Re-
gional Agricultural Credit Loan
Corporation of Minneapolis, who
held the mortgage, the following
Two dollars and fifty cents for
one cow worth $50, and $500 for
another cow worth the same a.
mount. The machinery bought in
brought the following: DeLaval
cream separator, lie, worth Sis;
plow, &c, worth SIS; harrow, &c,
worth So; mower, SO, worth $40.
The sale was conducted success
fully although interrupted a couple
of times by some of the seals.
The farmers will not soon forget
these scabs that attempted to break
the ranks of the farmers.
This victory will encourage the
farmers of Carlton county to build
a strong United Farmers League
as the best method of defending
themselves against the bankers
and other exploiters.

By a Worker Correspondent

NEW ORLEANS, La.-Necessi-

whites, see their kinship in the
lines of hunger. Some day, and

race hatred with low miserable
conditions of life.
The Lemoine family, five and
white, were to be evicted. Where
were the relief officials? Where
were the preachers? The officials
gave their promises and sympathy.
The preachers gave their deep I'M
derstanding. An appeal to the
Unemployment Council brought
down 10 negroes who soon aroused
the entire neighborhood. A mass of
workers, negro and whites, assem-
bled at the Lemoine home. A riot
squad was called which further adj
vertised the eviction and the
crowd grew. What could the cops
do in view of such mass pressure =?
They told the Lemoines to get
meeting permit next time.
Needless to say there was no
eviction. The workers were jubi-
liant over their victory, and a big
lesson was learned by all.

CALIFORNIA U.F.L.
HAS FIRST ANNUAL
MEETING NOV. e
Program for Struggle Is to
Be Worked Out at
Berkeley Meet

DINUBA, Calif.-The first an
nual convention of the United
Farmers League of California will
be held in Berkeley on Nov. %
and "a in Comrades Hall.
To fight the increasing strangle
hold the banks, gin companies,
feed houses and marketing mono
poles are getting on the small and
middle farmers of California, the
U.F.L. becomes more and more
necessary to the small farmers.
The Agricultural Adjustment Act
with its program of crop destruc-
ton and reduction must be abol-
ished. In the face of the govern
ment reports on the milk consump-
ton in typical American cities fall
ing far below the adequate stand
ord of living, the AAA program
of cutting the production by to
10 per cent becomes criminal. With
many school children in the land
without adequate clothing and with
millions of workers and farmers in
need of new suits and other cloth
ing, the AAA program of cutting
the cotton production is criminal.
These acts of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration must be defeated. The
coming U.F.L. convention will take
up these and other vital problems
of the farmers and build a milit-
ant program for the ensuing year.
United Farmers League locals
are entitled to one delegate for
every five members. Others may
come as fraternal delegates. 9th
er farm organizations and workers
organizations are encouraged to
elect fraternal delegates. Send in
for further information to the
state office of the United Farm
ers League, Dinuba, Calf.

wheeler Meeting
Was Dead"
By ANNA HERON

Many people, including myself,
went to the Wheeler meeting out
of curiosity. We wanted to hear
what Wheeler would promise to
do for the people of Montana in
general and for US in Sheridan
county in particular, but we got
fooled. He did not promise any
thing. He bluffed his way out by
saying he wasn't going to promise
US one single thing; that if his
/ record was not good enough to
suit us, he did not want us to
vote for him at all.
Just before Wheeler was to step
out from behind the curtain onto
the stage, Mr.. Mckee, who used
to be a banker in the balmy days
of Sheridan county, got ut behind
the foOtlights and began motion
ing with his hands something like
an orchestra leader. Everybody
was flabbergasted at first, but
then it dawned on us that he want
ed US to stand up and cheer, pre-
sumably. The audience finally got
to its feet. But were there any
cheers or handclaps? Not so YOU
would notice it. There we stood,
quiet as mice. It was as if we
were hOnoring the memory of
someone who had crossed the river
Styx, and not at all the warm
CHEEKY welcome that should be
given to the two-fisted, redblood-
ed champion of the peoples rights
that Wheeler claims to be. The
Wheeler meeting was dead.
What, thought, haven't his
supporters got the courage of their
convictions? Evidently they had
not. could not help but think of
the contrast in the reception given
to Earl Browder, general secretarv
of the Communist Party of U.S.A.
at the Congress Against War and
Fascism, held the last three DAYS
of September this year in Chicago.
There were over 1000 delegates
representing all walks of life, peo-
pie who work with hand and brain.
artists, musicians, professionals, as
well as scientists; even the United
States army was represented by
one officer and one private in this
huge audience. Just very small
number were Communists. Einar
Duus of Dagmar, who was one of
the delegates from Sheridan coun-
ty, reported at meetings held by
him and Rev. Larsen of the Dag
mar Lutheran church who also
was delegate, that when Earl
Browder appeared on the platform
to speak the whole audience rose
to their feet as one person and
cheered and cheered and refused /
to sit down. Time and again their |
enthusiasm burst forth.
But then, Earl Browder is a real. |
everyday fighter for the working |
class and those 1900 knew that.
They know that Communist lead
ers, such of Browder, Hathaway. /
BOD Minor and others, are on the !
JOB S65 days Of the year fighting |
Tor the everyday needs of those |
who do most of the work and get
the least for it. Communists. un-
ilke politicians of the capitalist |
parties, work for better conditions
