COMMUNICATED
Director.

The farmers of the Eastern Shore
are called upon to decide between
the old system OF shipping their pro
duce or to joint he Farmers Exchange
and be subject to its workings. This
Exchange has grown from a small
meeting at Onley last fall, to a mem
bership of 5000 or 1000, which is an
indication that its success is assured.
The most prevalent opposition to
it. and which is especially used by
those interested in the old system, is
that to run 1t, the cost is excessive.
The fact that the officers are paid set
salaries is very misleading. because
under the old system, while the SAL
cries are large they are never an
AXE AXE iced
Ints ofy speak OF the enormous salary
lie " to the general manager.
: Now suppose we compare his duty
and obligation to the farmer, to that
of an officer in the old system, whose
salary will exceed that OF the general
manager, as is often the case.
The general manager lie required to
give a bond of five thousand dollars,
and is under the control of the di
rectors of the organization. who are
farmers and who are elected by farm
ers.
| Under the old system not only is
there no bond required of its officers,
but they are not responsible to any
one beyond the duties implied to
middlemen. Furthermore, under
that system the middlemen know
that they can force the farmers to
submit to their dictation, running
the business, if they so wish, entirely
to their interests whether detrimen-
tai to the farmers or not.
On the other hand, the general
manager can reasonably have bat
the interests of the farmers at stake.
Aside from the fact that the officers
under the new system are paid set
salaries, it is safe to say, that the
management of the new system will
not cost the farmers half the amount
they are paying now under the old
system,
Under the new system the officers
are hired directly by the farmers,
purposely to work exclusively for
their interests
Under the old system the officers
claim to make 40 set price for their
services from the farmers, but they
reserve to themselves the right to run
the business under their own man.
agement, each middleman being an
orga nization to himself.
Under this management the farm-
ers of the Eastern Shore have been
working for some years. While they
may have complained at results, they
have put no obstacle in the way of
its success, il it was in the system to
make it so.
The new system is based upon
business principles, and under the
control of the farmers. They know
exactly what it will cost to ship a
barrel of potatoes. There is no rea-
son for cutting prices to meet under
ground expense, and the system has
been adopted all over the country
with success.
The present condition OF our
farmers requires that something shall
be done, and they run no risk in
adopting any plan that runs counter
to that which from year to year has
made them poorer.

The ringing OF the fire bell yester-

FORCE or IMPULSE.
The Comedy Drama CreditabIy Rendered
10 Large and App~reciativo Audi
enCes.

Doubtless many who attended the
entertainment given by Prof. Sillo-
way and the scholars OF the high
school last Thursday and Friday
evenings had some hesitancy In do
ing so through a fear Of being bored.
Usually II requires a good deal OF
local pride and fortltuds to wit
ness or listen tn an amateur enter
tainment. However, We believe
everyone who attended on Thursday
or Friday evenings were agreeably
surprised II not well entertained.
The comedy-drama "Force Of I'm
pulse" In five acts. was produced
with Prof. SlllOway and strong sup
port In the cast. The plot Of the
play proved quite interesting as 1t
was unfolded In the successive acts.
The comedy was of n clever order
and created much laughter while the
tragedy features were narrowing
enough TO excite the closest atten-
ton.
Some OF the characters wereso well
sustained that we deem them worthy
Of special mention.
Prof. Silloway, In the character Of
George Washington Dollarclutch,
acted his part splendidly, showing
by his grasp Of thecomical situations
and the lack OF embarrassment that
he was no novice at the business.
The professor received deserved APP
plause.
Agatha Rooney. as Hilda Wallace,
the girl who had been greatly wrong
ed, had IA very good conception of
the character and acted the part well,
though che was not altogether free
from stage fright. With experience
Miss Rooney would make n good ac-
tress. Julia Sturman as Adrienne
Maitland, ian impulsive girl who
loves not wisely, but too WELL"
looked charming and recited well,
but did not exhibit the degree Of i'm
pulse her character demanded. II
she had done more acting and put a
little more feeling into her part, she
would have carried OFF the honors OF
the evening. Nevertheless Miss Stur-
man is a bright young lady and did
handsomely.
As Anastasia Maitland, n suscepti-
BILE maiden Of forty-fve, Miss Edith
Dawes was excellent. Her grasp Of
the character was good and 1t IL
doubtful whether 1t could be improv-
cd upon by n professional.
The balance Of the cast OF charac-
ters was assumed by j. L. Robinson,
Oswald Lehman, James Reed, Ben
D~ougherty, D0rman Jackson, Rich
ard Reed, Henry Often and Archie
Green, all of whom are really wur-
thy Of mentionfor their work. Every
one knew his lines and there was
no prompting, observable to the au-
dience ut least.
There was a large Attendance both
nights and it Is hoped Prof, Silloway
and his company will favor the peo-
pie again before the winter closes.
Fully $I5 will be realized after theex-
penses have been paid.

Four hundred people turned out in
Lewistown to hear Rev. Father Nc

dience of fifty 10 Belt. Comparison

The sheepmen who have been feed

The postofice now occupies the
space vacated by W. G. Norman &
Co., the letter boxes having been re-
moved well to the front and the
drugs and medicines changed to the
opposite side of thestore. The rapid
growth in the business OF this Office
has made additional room necessary.
River Press: Several freight teams
were loaded out yesterday with
bridge material for Fergus county.
Part of the superstructure for the

John ID. Waite and A. W. Stoddard,
president and secretary OF the Fergus
County Woolgrowers' association,
following the action of the state as
ISOLATION, addressed letters to our
representatives in congress protest
ing against the adoption of the treaty
with the Argentine Republic with the
wool clause intact. Senator Carter,
in reply, said he was looking up data
relative to the matter and would use
his efforts to secure a modification of
the Objectionable features Of the
treaty.
River Press: Winston Eberson,
the colored barber at Big Sandy.
made complaint yesterday against
Frank Howe and Tom Scanks OF the
same place, charging them with as,
sault. Eberson claims that defend
ants entered his shop. close to the
Spokane House, and covered him
with their revolvers ordering him to
leave town forthwith, emphasizing
their command with a few stray bull
let's. He ran to a box car standing
on the side track and came to Fort
Benton. Ebersonc claims that during
his six weeks stay ut Big Sandy he
has given no cause for such proceed
ings. Jailer Coatsworth is expected
to return with the wild and woody
regulators this afternoon.
