Meeting Yourself

The annual meeting of the Peoples Publishing Company
is taking place the coming Monday. The main business
of this gathering to elect board of directors supervise
the business of the company and to control Of the
paper, The Producers News.
That this business of tremendous Importance only
to the future of the company but especially the
the impoverished farmers workers of the county is self
evident In the past the Producers News has been
valiant and conscientious FIGHTER for the roht of
and workers and is still maintaining this character as
weapon the struggle of the classes paper has become
invaluable to the farmers of the county as well as to te on
tire movement of workers and farmers in the country 1t is
priceless weapon in the fight better living conditions

The meeting is important enough to warrant in every
case the personal appearance of every stakeholder The
ture OF important part of the American labor
