FutrelTs action marks a radical departure from his former attitude toward the dispossessed and disinherited citizens of hrs state,” said J. A. Butler. union bead of White county. Ark., who added Futrell had been “one of the most bitter opponents of the organized sharecroppers and other farm laborers" and had refused to interfere in violence by plant-

At seven o'clock some three or four hundred oaccd in front of the offjc6 waiting for the busses to ar- ■ - i vo. When the busses swung around th<' corner of West street ( aml Indiana avenue a tremendous shout went up. “Here they come.” It required eight large busses to convey the invited to and from tin* picnic grounds. Th<> day was well spent in exciting games. Although conduct on the part or" the gang is yet to be improved, the program went over splendidly and no serious accidents occurred. Eats were piled high on the tables and every ounce was scon stabilizing the vitality of the huge band of picnickers. At five ( ’chi - k the busses rolled up and immediately preparations were made for departure. No one will forget the annual picnic* of 1933 -s it was “Tops” of all.
