farm colony project in Fender coun-
than 1000 applications have been
made for the 2O-acre farms and 14O
model homes that go with the farms.
Great care is being made in the
selection of families for Penderlea''
Homer H. B. Mask, regional director
of the Resettlement Administration,
explained today in talking about the
progress there. Among the Sc fam
lilies who have been accepted and
moved in, are many college graduates
former school teachers and store
keepers and one ex-big league ball

More .han a score other families
have been approved, Mask said, and
within a few months now every one

Meanwhile, plans are going forward
for enlarging the area from the pre-
sent acreage of $500 to a single tract
embracing approximately 10000 acres
Already 152 miles of draining bitches
have been cut and 81 miles of roads
graded so that each home faces a
community road. The seven square

North and South Henderson, Dr. Nit
chell stated. More than 500 containers
have been shipped away for examina-

Up to the present time, the cam
paign has been carried on in SO coun-

1900 persons were examined, with
23.8 percent of them proving positive.
How many actually took the treat
ment at that time is not known now.
The Rockefeller Foundation is car
rying on hte work at it's own expense
and in the interest of the public

Bilious Spells

In bilious spells, one of the first
things to do is to take a dose of
Black-Draught to relieve the attend

N c., tells of having used Black
Draught for a long time. There is a

bad flaw in it.
The constitution of both state
and nation declares against lille
gal seizure of property. Taking
possession of private property by
force or possession secured by
any means without the owners
consent, is assuredly illegal and
the courts will once more have
opportunity to decide whether
communists have rights paramount
to the majority-have a right to
seize private property in direct
violation of American law.
Certainly the radicals will
claim that the rights of workers
are superior, paramount, to all
other rights, but if their conten-
