ah webster's First Dictionary Published in 1928

The first edition of ''Noah Web
ster's American Dictionary of the
English Language" was published
in New York in 1928. AS early as
1888 he had published his "Ameri-
can Spelling Book" which sold by
the millions down through the third
quarter of the Nineteenth century.
Profits from this book enabled him
to devote some 20 years to the prep
aration of a dictionary. In 1924,
when the book was nearly finished,
he visited Europe to procure such
information as he had been unable
to obtain in America. After a short

The work contained $4,000 words
and 40, 900 definitions not to be found

RETAIN
GEORGE E. LEACH
AS Your
MAYOR

1t is the political practice of the
forces opposed to us in this campaign
to deluge the community at the last
minute with scandalous propaganda,
mostly of personal or semi-personal
character, and we understand there is
to be no exception this time, but we
are confident the experience of the
voters in this connection has been
such they will pay little or no attention
to false and unscrupulous tactics like
these.
The Twin City Herald is making a
final plea to the readers of this paper
to exercise their democratic privilege
by voting or Monday, June 18th; and
the retention o. George E. Leach as
Ma.sor is re1o amended because it is
to the best interests of tn co1ored
people of this city.-Lastly be sure to
mote on Monday.

studying at the College of Professional
Communists
The l932-l933 national hunger

workers Of political domination.
These included three-member boards
