The Communist Party of Sheridan County
INTRODUCES IT'S CANDIDATES AND APPEALS TO FARMERS AND
WORKERS. TO THE SMALL PROFESSIONALS TO
VOTE FOR THESE CANDIDATES AND SUPPORT THIS PROGRAM

For employment of local labor on road
work and projects;
For medical and dental care of needy;
For nine months term Of school and
transportation of children; for milk and hot
lunches at school;
For non-payment of interest or princi-
pal of bonds as long as needs of farmers
and workers are not taken care Of.
At all times and everywhere the Com
munist Party, its candidates and members
will fight and work for the best interests
of impoverished farmers and workers and
against the aims and interests of the cap
italist class that is suppressing and exploit
ing the laboring people.
For five years the nation has been in
the throes of a terrible crisis. The Re-
publican party of Hoover and now the Dem
ocratic party of Roosevelt have both failed
20 relieve the suffering of the people or to
overcome the crisis Their policies have
served only to further enrich the biggest.
the monopoly capitalist and to further inn
poverish the great masses of the people.
Roosevelt's AAA, embodying the will
full destruction of hundreds of millions OF
dollars worth of cotton, wheat, cattle, ETC.,
while millions go hungry, has resulted IN
more evictions of farmers from their land,
in more foreclosures and in the further inn
poverishment of the mass of small and
middle farmers. The A.A.A. destruction,
combined with the drought, has brought the
whole farming section from Canada to
Mexico to the condition of famine.
Again on Nov. the farmers and work
ers Of the United States are offered the
opportunity to show by the ballots whether
they are still willing to continue to live
under these conditions caused by the poll
cies of the Roosevelt and Hoover parties.
The capitalist newspapers all over the
country, together with the politicians in
every county, are offering the finest and
most wonderful promises to induce workers
and farmers to vote Democrat or Republi-
can. W 49,
The Communist party points out that
all these promises are empty. Past expert
ence has shown that neither Democrats MOI
Republicans have any intention to keep 9
single one OF their promises They will be-
election.
Only by vote that registers an ener
getic protest against Wall Streets execu
tive committee headed by Roosevelt only
by vote that registers another fighter
against the most insane and inhuman con
ditions, only by a vote for the Communists
party, the party of the workers and farm
ers, can we hope to bring about a change
that viii do away with hunger and misery
oppression and exploitation.

THE Virginia branch of the Ashby

the Cromwellian period. According
to family tradition, they were strict
adherents to Charles I. The first ar
rival in Virginia was Edmund Ashby,
whose son, Edward, lived about 1700
in what is now Fauquier County. His
son, Col. John Ashby, was active in
the Colonial Militia and held a COM
mission as commander Of Fort Ashby
during the Indians wars. He was with
Gen. Washington during several In
dian campaigns and at Braddock's de-
feat.
Col. John Ashby, in ITO, went to
Kentucky. where he stayed until 1774.
settling a large tract of land which
was granted him for his services in
the early wars. Descendants Of the
family had homes on the land and
established the name Of Ashby in Ken
lucky.
In the New England States we have
record of one early settler of this name
during the first period of colonization.
That is the name Of Anthony Ashby,
who settled in Salem, Mass. in 1865.
The coat of arms here shown is
ascribed to the Massachusetts line.
The surname Ashby is of Saxon
origin and signifies "by the ash tree. B"

Harvest Feasting.

WHEN grain grows ripe and Is
w gathered in the Autumn, people
in many lands make merry, and there
is feasting. A good crop means that
there will be food in the Winter
ahead.
In modern days, crops are better
than they were in times gone by; but
even if a drought comes and our
crops are poor, we are not likely to
starve. Prices may become higher,
but part of the previous years crop
has been carried over" We have
something to eat, even though less
than usual.
In olden Mexico, when the Aztec
Indians were in power over the coun-
try, 18 feasts were held during the
year. One of these was called
"Ochpanitzli," meaning Feast of the
Broom" It was in honor of the god
dess Toci, who was pictured as carry
ing a grass broom, with which she
swept the earth" Around the time
of her feast, the people took special
pains about sweeping their homes, fix
ing up the roads, and cleaning the
temples.
Another feast was called "Pachtli,"
and was famed as the time of "the
coming Of the gods" Wherever they
had been, even though in a distant
land, the gods were expected to return
to Mexico.
Youths, or young men, were set to
work making the temples ready for
the return of the gods, and were re-
warded for their labors with ears of
corn. Images of the gods were
adorned with branches.
There was some excitement over
the arrival of the first god. He came
two days ahead of the feast day.
Twas said that he walked much
faster than the others. In proof that
he had come, the Aztec priests
pointed out a footprint in cornmeal
which had been spread over the
ground We are not told who really
made the footprint; but no doubt it
was one of the priests.
The AztecS, I am sorry to say, were
in the custom of spelling their feast
days by offering human sacrifices to
their gods. This is given as a reason
for the harsh treatment which Span
iards gave the natives when Mexico
was conquered.

Travelling in a Circle.

IT OST people travel in a circle y
The formula holds for people
when all their activities are misdi-

wanderers walking on the streets. rid
ing on the cars, gazing aimlessly into
the shop windows, leafng nervouslv
through books in the public library.
Estlessly pricing goods at the market,
Every step is hesitating, every glance
Is tlmld, every greeting is a public
convention, and every attempted task
IS likely to be abandoned in a few
Gays. The individual has lost the
power to concentrate and sustain his
attention.
Study the actions of men and won-
en- from every angle and you will be
surprised to find how near YOU will
come to an understanding of a lot
OF your own hidden feelings, when you
nave begun to lose contact with your
world of activities. These feelings are

sure where he is going He is travel
ing in circle.
The important thing about aimless
activities is the sterility of the emo
tions that accompany them. All ac-
tivity must have some emotional urge
back of it. If the activity is point
less, the emotions back of it are weak
and colorleSs. Instead of finding their
true outlets, the emotions run as par
tial feelings along several routes at
once. The result Is a scattering of
purposes and a diminishing of ambi-
tions. More than ordinary energy is
consumed for tasks that normally in
duce little or no fatigue.

Such cases prove a complete disap-
pointment after operation, and the
operator is disappointed to find on
dissection Of the body that nothing
abnormal is evident. a fact that he
us under necessity of conceahng from
the patient
When attacks recur as frequently
and as severely after operation as be-
lore, it requires some ingenuity on
the part of the whilom operator or
the family physician to formulate
convincing reasons for this seeming
failure of the operation to produce the
expected relief.
The spasm occurs in response to
the irritation of too acid stomach, a
too high percentage of hydrochloric
acid in the gastric juice, and means
that one has through the use of too
much OF the concentrated forms of
protein built up a habit of hydro
chloric acid formation that leaves be-
hind too irritating debris when the
stomach digestion is completed. So
the causes of pylorospasm are the
causes Of gastric or duodenal ulcer,
and both conditions are likely to be
associated together.
The number of victims who haye
passed through the surgical treat
ment for this simple condition is very
large, and the number of disappoint-
ments about the same.
When unaccountable pain attacks

cially if this is at the pit of the

Of pylorospasm for every case Of true
gladstone collie, but empty the stomach
if you can do this easily, or take a
well rounded teaSpoonful of bicarbo-
nate OF soda in a pint Of hot water,
before you send for your family ply
sician
If you wish to get rid Of this terror
Of the night, then clean house quickly
by purging for three days, taking
three heaping tablespoonfuls of epson
or glauber salts in half pint of hot
or cold water, or five or six seidlitz
powders, one every IS minutes till
this number has been taken, or take a
bottle of citrate of magnesia and re-
peat in Is to 30 minutes. When the
bowels are running freely and a great
thirst has set in, then take the un-
sweetened juices of fresh fruits, any
kind. as freely as desired.
This simple plan will remove the
trouble for the time being and fol-
low this with such correction of the
habit of eating as will remove per-
manently the habit of creation of too
much hydrochloric acid. which means
eat less meat, eggs, fish and cheese
than formerly.
Complete the return to less acid
conditions by making the dietary habit
correct in all other particulars as by
taking more, much more. vegetables,
salads, fruits and milk and butter
milk. and when concentrated and
acid-forming foods are admitted to
the diet make sure they are taken in
compatible mixtures to stop fermen-
tations.

~ AMY and Nanny Meadow
Mouse travelled all night.
- They were leaving the snug
home in the tall grass not
far from a lone tree on the
Green Meadows. 1t had been a good
home, for around it had been plenty
to eat without going far. and it had
not been discovered by any of their
hungry enemies. Danny, wanting a
change, had been quite willing to
leave it. but Nanny hadn't. Had it
only been a little farther from that
lone tree she wouldn't have left it.
But it was uncomfortably near that
tree now that Roughleg the Hawk had
come there to sit all day watching
for Mice
Il hate him!" said Nanny as she
followed Danny through the grass.
He is no worse than Reddy Fox
or Hooty the Owl, or any Of the others
who hunt for u.s." squeaked Danny,
who secretly was pleased that they
were moving.
We'll, hate all of them" declared
Nanny spitefully, why can't they
leave us alone?'
chuckled Danny. Just like the rest
of us. they get hungry and can't help
it, and they have liking for Mice.
That is our hard luck"
That was a good home back there
until that fellow came. Why couldn't
he have chosen some other tree to sit
in?" scolded Nanny.
Perhaps if you had asked him to
he would have" suggested Danny.
Perhaps he would and taken me
along with him." agreed Nanny
We'll, I prefer to be here, even if
didn't want to move. Listen!"
"Hooty the Owl" said Danny. "but
he is too far away to cause us any
worry I never fear him when I hear
him 1t is when I don't hear him that
he worries me"
= Il hope he won't come this way
before We reach the cornfield," said
Nanny.
Danny, who was in the lead stopped
abruptly. What is it?" whispered
Nanny
DO you smell anything?" whispered
Danny.
Nanny drew alongside him and
shifted softly.
Fox" she exclaimed, under her
breath.
Danny nodded. "Reddy Fox has
been along here" said he, but it was
quite a bit earlier in the night, for
that scent is weak. 1t is a wonder I
noticed it at all. I'm glad We found
it, because now we know he is hardly
likely to be near here. If you don't
know where people are it sometimes
is almost as good to know where they
are not
Il hope We won't find him in the
cornfleld when we get there" said
Nanny.
1T won't matter if we do" replied
Danny carelessly. There are plenty
of places there where We can find
safety
1t was long journey for such little
people with such short legs, but it
was not yet daylight when they
reached the field where Farmer
Browns corn was standing in shocks,
row on row. They scrambled up in
the first of these they came to and
feasted on corn, for they were hungry.
