I ■ i Among the Locals. How many locals failed to have their regular meetings this month? How many really had a real meet ing, where the members were pres- or-t and the Local took some stand or action in regard to bettering the conditions of the farmers of the neighborhood? In this column we expect to print each w££k the news from the local meetings. The locals that are do ing something are the ones to use this space each week. If your local is doing something, tell us about it in a short letter and let it show to thers that you are doing some thing and let it encourage other locals to put forth an effort to do something also. There are many things that local unions could be doing this time of the year. Get your members to gether and lay some plan of action and get to work in a co-operative way. How about your eggs, chick ens and other things that go to Pirsf Time in History. “The North Carolina division of the Farmers’ Educational and Co- Operative Union was represented at the hearing in New York October 30, when this matter was up for a hearing and through its attor neys, Messrs. E. J. Justice and S. A. Woodward, filed a protest with the circuit court of the Southern district of New York against the proposed reorganization plan in be half of the tobacco growers of the State. Mr. Justice in reporting on his trip stated to us in Greensboro recently that the presiding judge at this court told him that this was the first time in the history of the case that the tobacco growers had taken a hand. He added that everything prior had been done by the independent tobacco manufac turers, who claimed that they had either been damaged or ruined by the American Tobacco Company, the ‘tobacco trust’ but that noth ing had ever been said or done in A Farmers’ Union Women’s Club. make the profit on the farm?

In every organization in which women have membership they are a potent force by their energy, self-confidence and loyalty. The Farmers’ Union has a^lmitted them to membership as a recognition of the value of their services and sympathies. We want to utilize this force. We want to place women of our order where tJiey can do more for themselves and consequently for the Farmers’ Union. Brother John Grattan has pro posed their attendance at our next yearly meeting, where they will be cared for by Mrs. Grattan and her friends. This might lead to an or ganization of a ladies’ club com posed of Farmers’ Union members. Mrs. George Hosmer, an earnest worker in women’s clubs, is advis ing along these lines: How can we organize women to make them a gi eater force in promoting rural progress, making the Farmers’ Union stronger and making their home life brighter? Will not some of our sister members enlighten the State Secretary! Just write the “old man” a letter of advice. We want our women to occupy a posi tion where they will give more force and emphasis to the Farm ers’ Union movement and make their own lives brighter in their rural homes.—The Co-Operator. of the minutes of the Shawnee m.eeting are on hand and may had for 10 cents in coin or stamps- Don’t fail to give your State Secretary the information I have a.sked for.
