POSSIBILITIES OF WOOL

Mr.. Williams today also COM
mented on the possibilities of
wool Ifor Holmes county farmers.
William Hughes, colored, living
between Durant and Lexington,
shipped 1876 pounds of wool to a
mill in Tennessee recently and
received $61.00 for the shipment
This party with other colored
neighbors have made cooperative
shipments with the county agent
assisting, each year for the past
six years, and they claim that
the money received for their wool
is sufficient TO nav their taxes
each year and fiat this is the
easiest" money they make in
their farming operations.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Ted Horn
could probably have won last years
500-mile race at Indianapolis but
didn't know it until the run was over.
Horn was croWding Lou Meyer
close in the last stages of the race,
as matter Of fact he was but
half-lap behind
What Horn didn't know, and the
old veteran Harry Hartz, who owned
the car and was running his pits, also
was unaware of, was that Meyer was
running low on fuel in his car al
though he had an ample supply in his
pits.
Rather than take his chances of
losing second place. Hartz ordered
Horn to be satisfied with second po-
sition and rather than attempt to
catch the Flying Dutchman", Horn
held his position. Had he been aware
of Meyers predieament, he would
have speeded up, forced Meyer to
run at top-speed and used up his
scant supply of gasoline. Horn would
have taken the lead had he forced
Meyer into the pits for fuel and.
within the short time left in the race
it would have been almost impossible
for Meyer to have overtaken the
California youngster
Both Horn and Hartz promise that
it won't happen again in the running
of the Silver Anniversary race here
on Monday, May 31st.

CCC MUST GO ON

The apostles of economy" in the
subcommittee Of the house appropria-
tions committee have showed their
caliber by their attack on the Civilian
Conservation Corps, known to all as
the CCC.
Of all the works Of the first Roose-
velt administration, the CCC is the
most universally popular. Even those
who came to curse have remained to
bless it altogether 1t has taken hun
dreds of thousands of bewildered, baf-
fled and ofttimes discouraged boys,
and turned them into vigorous and self
reliant young men. 1t has schooled
them; made them familiar with the
open spaces; put them at work and
given them habits of work.
The conservation work which these
lads have done is alone worth its cost;
but the greatest output of the corps
is its human output Men who de-
nounce the CCC know neither the sub
ject on which they speak nor the feel
ings of their constituents.

THE DEADLIEsT INVENTION

The Travellers Insurance Company
has compiled figures on automobile
accidents for 1886 in the United
States. They are simply APPALLING.
They show $4,000 persons killed and
967,840 injured. These figures are not
absolutely final, but they are more
likely to be under the final record
than over it. And the toll is growing; /;
TOO more persons were killed and
1850 more persons were injured by
automobiles in 1896 than in the pre-
vious year.
To get something of what these fig
ures mean, less than 5000 men were
killed outright at the battle Of Get
tysburg.
Or to get a still clearer idea of
auto slaughter, take the figures of
the World War. In that war, Amer
lea lost 5o,510 men killed in action
or dying of wounds, and o1,o79 men
wounded but not dying In other
words, automobile killings last year
were rs per cent of the battle cas-
ualties Of the World War, and automo-
bile woundings in 1886 were more thar

The automobile has made greater
change in American life than almost
any other device, but it is also the

Unless you join union you have
no standing with Labor Board.
If you ARE in union, then your
union has a standing and a very val
liable and important standing.
Your employer must NOT fire you
for joining a union Some of them
don't believe that yet, but they're
finding out fast.
Your employer has to bargain with
your union. Not with YOU, as a lone
worker, but with your UNION as a
band of workers.
The best way to cure employer
trouble is to hurry up and organize.
Employer trouble" is on the way
out but the employers aren't going
to do anything to help get rid Of it.
That's the job Of unions and we
have unions only when workers join
together to form unions. GET INTO
UNIONS QUICK!

" Where with our

we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
fOundly, sometimes fippantly,
sometimes recklessly. -.

Labor trouble" is frequently
used phrase.
Why not call it employer trouble"
instead?
There would be very little trouble
started by labor if there were not
first a good deal of employer trou-
ble."
Think of all the employers who
have refused to recognize unions.
If employers had not been SO stub
born about recognizing unions, there
would never have been any strikes
to enforce recognition.
So, first we get employer trou-
ble' and then, to cure that we get

The horse, of course, not being
used to that, raises row.
/ Right at this moment there is a
great deal of employer trouble even
though the supreme court has decided
that the labor relations act is sound
and constitutional and everything.
Some employers still think they
can "beat the game" and 60 right

brow beating.
They have bad case of employer
trouble"
1t probably is going to take lot

Brain Twizzlers
BY PROF. J. ID. FLINT.

"A TRAPPER Of the Far North had
successful season and was pre-
pared to store away sizeabie supply
Of furs. His problem 1t the moment
was to locate a good cache. During
his search he carried an AK, strong
ring, a hunters knife and . coil Of
rope. One day he came to the edge
Of fairly wide stream, which Rad
rather fast-flowing water and in the
middle Of which was . small, wooded
island. After looking over the sur
rounding territory, the trapper decided
that the island would make an ideal
cache. He judged the approximate
width Of the stream and found his
rope to be three times its width, but
too heavy to throw across knowing
that small boats were frequently left
at crossing places by rangers for
trapper's use, he soon located one
which had q ring at the prov and
another at the stern There were
no oars. however How could the
trhpper get across the stream?
