Improper pivoting has caused more trouble in golf than anything else.
 Failure to pivot and get the weight over the right leg in the backswing leaves too much weight on the left leg. In the downswing, the player then pulls back to the right leg, which results in cutting across the ball.
 By shifting the weight properly,

Metros VS Indies

Down in Hopeville, Pat Egan's Indies will entertain Freddy Fra zier's Waterville Metros at o. clock in a game which should show Jake Vreeland at first, George Oliver in left field, Henry Mathews in center and Capt George Langlois, former City Amateur leaguer at third while if Frankie Edmonds the Naugy high school colored athlete doesn't catch he will toe the rubber and show the Hopeville fans just how fast he throws them by the batters, "Yock" Blinn will be held in reserve. Hopeville's bashful Manager, Mir Egan says he has promised to take his boys down to New York to see a big league game If they fin ish in first division in this series. Spurred on by this offer, Hopeville may and probably will upset the Metros, when one considers team with the two Mazzarela boys, "Jiggs" Murphy, the Crosby high star batter in the outfield and Beauty Mccormack at short, then when Joe Bowey takes the rubber and Blanchione goes in catching, maybe the Indies will start to make their managers off, fer sure trip.

By decree of President Roose-
Welt one million unemployed work
ers were fired yesterday from the
CWA jobs, while protest demon
strations of employed and unem-
ployed workers took place all
over the country.
Previous to this mass lay-off G.
w. A. workers already were on
the stagger system, suffering pay
less days, wage cuts and discrimi-
nation.
In Sheridan county the c. w. A.
program was brought to an abrupt
close last Wednesday. Two hun
dred and fifty relief workers lost
their jobs. Many of them had
been working since December l.
1888.
According to official statements
Sheridan county had paid to coun'
ty workers during the winter the
sum total of $4,000. About $780,
600 was paid since the program
got under way, while $4,000 con
sisted of money from the emerg'

How much of this huge sum Of
money went to the people who &C

of its was used for administrative
purposes" or paid to people who
received CWA jobs not because
they needed them but because they
were close friends of the admini-

Since the United States Con-
gress has passed another $780,

hoping to be advised from Wash

South Dakota Takers Meet to
Talk Of ''New" Party

on a Farmer-Labor Educational
League for the present, starting
the political party later.
They finally decided that a
movement should be started to alb
so0b and take over one of the old
political parties-preferably the
Democratic party.
The weakness of the whole set
op was revealed in the fact that
they had no principles except some
meaningless, more OF less radical
phrases that might appeal to some
people.
At this meeting were a few
serious-minded and well-meaning
men who were of the opinion that
a new political party dominated by
the class of men in control of this
meeting, would be no benefit TO
the farmers and workers of the
state of South Dakota.

SCORES MILK
CODE in N. Y.
AAA Must Lower Retail
Prices at Expense of
Trust, He Says

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-Deciaring
that what the Agricultural Admin
istration Act should do is consider
the human needs of the farmers
and workers and not the mainten-
ance of the Milk Trusts profits,
Fred A. Briehl, dairy farmer and
member of the New York State
Farmers Committee for Action and
Of the Executive Committee of the
Farmers National Committee for
Action, presented yesterday the
first testimony on behalf of the
real interests of the farmers in
the three days of the A. A. A.
milk hearing now taking place.
+ The hearing is on the new
agreement which the A. A. Al. is
proposing for the New York milk
shed. 1t would set prices for the
farmers but not for the consum-
ers; it would give the Secretary of
Agriculture practically unlimited
power in setting prices and effect
ing production curtailment. The
agreement also retains the CLASH
fled price plan by which dealers
are protected against any loss in
marketing the milk and by which
the farmer stands that loss. In
line with the policy of the Roose-
welt administration the agreement
results in the forcing of all dairy,
men into the Dairymen's League
the cooperative which is controlled
by Bordens.
No Surplus Says Briehl
/ Briehl pointed out that thu
farmers market was not the deal
er but the city worker, that in
stead of seeking to guarantee the
dealers profit the A. A. A. shoult
seek to give at least cost of pro
duction to the farmers. He showe'
that there was no surplus today
and that the trouble lay in the fac
that the people producing the coun
try's wealth, the farmers and tn
workers, were not being pal
enough to buy that wealth bach
He concluded his statement, whic
provoked enthusiasm among farm
ers present and was received i
stony silence by the dealers, b
saying that if the A. A. A. woul
not increase the farmers price an
decrease the retail price, it shoul
take steps to cancel the debt
which the farmers are unable t
pay.

BIG PEA COMPANY
SLAVES CHILDREN
Constable Watches Over
Workers Employed in
Packing-Shed
By a Worker CORRESPONDENT

WVAAcL Correspondent
FIT. BRAGG, Calif.-The big pea
company here has begun blowing
and is getting ready for its an
nual exploitation of the workers.
Last year they erected signs all
along the highway forty miles
away saying, 1000 Pea Pickers
Wanted at Fort Bragg" They then
cut the pay from Soc per hundred
pounds to Soc hundred and made
everyone sign a paper before go
ing to work that they were salts
fled with the pay and working con-
ditions.
The pickers were anywhere from
two to forty miles away and had
to pay for transportation to and
from the work. leaving at 6 a. m,
after making something between
SOC and $3.50 for their work.
At the height of the season the
company hires as many as 500
pickers, many of them Fort Bragg
school children whose parents are
always shaving and always in debt
to the lumber companies. This is
the only way they can get school
clothes. This company has big pes
fields in three different states.
In the packing shed here the
manager even hires the constable
n watch over the workers. AND
these conditions will not improve
unless this year the pickers orga'
nize and fight.

State Secretary of the United
Farmers League, Hans Hardersen,
has urged the adoption of the fol-
lowing resolution, protesting the
outrageous conduct of the sheriff
of Emmons county On Jan. 20,
when four unemployed workers
were manhandled and arrested for
conducting a meeting protesting C.
w. A. lay-offs.
"The farmers and workers of
EmmOns county had a perfect
right to gather at the courthouse
at Linton as they did to complain
about the mal-administration of
C. w. A. jobs" Hans Hardersen
said.
"The deputy sheriffs and other
county officials benefit directly or
indirectly by the handling of c. w.
A. matters. 1t has become a
racket. Because the farmers and
workers demanded their right and
threatened to wipe out this racket
the meeting was broken up and
the leaders were arrested" Har-
dersen explained.
at is the duty of all workers
and farmers to Join in the protest
| of the UFI,. At their meetings
they should pass resolutions to be
sent to authorities. individuals

handing the immediate uncondi,
tional release Of the prisoners,

Wave of Protest
Spreads Thru
Country
By 81. Puro
Member Natl Executive Council
United Farmers League

CHICAGO, Ill.-The storm of
protest is spreading throughout
the nation against the arrest of
Alfred Tiala. national secretary of
the United Farmers League; his
wife, Viola, and Jesse Ham, In
diana U. F. L. organizer. Every
mail is bringing numerous copies
of protest resolutions to the u. F..
L. national office at 1917 South
Loomis Street, Chicago, Ill.
Hard hit by an ever-deepening
crisis and poverty, the debt-ridden
farmers, many of whose farms are
threatened by sheriff sales this
spring, are rushing their indignant
protests to Sheriff Person, Judge
Vanderveer, Governor McNutt and
President Roosevelt, against the
arrest and Imprisonment of the u.
F. L. leader and his fellow-farmer.
This protest wave comes from
ali farm organizations, because
farmers, no matter to what orga-
nizations they may belong, realize
that the United Farmers League
fights uncomprisingly against the
sheriff sales and evictions and for
the right of the farmers to stay
on their farms. They know that
in this particular case, at the sale
of Clarence Gearhart's farm, ITALIA
and his comrades as representative
of the United Farmers League
fought not only to save this par
ticular farm family from foreclos-
ure, but for the rights of all those
American farmers who are debt
ridden and threatened with sales
and evictions. The toiling farmers
feel, some consciously, others un.
consciously that this is a class
struggle against the bankers and
monied class. This is the reason
they rally so solidly and in such
great numbers around the defense
of the leader of the United Farm
ers League and his comrades.
The United Farmers League 10
Gals, of course, have been the frs
ones to rally to the defense Of
their leader and his associates. Blu
farmers in the the Holiday Asso
