5000 TURKEYS.
That is Fallon's Seasons Crop of
the Great American Bird.

That IS Fallon's Seasons Crop OF
the Great American Bird.
Something like 5000 turkeys were
raised this year in the farming section
tributary to Fallon. Their sale will
suffice to bring into local circulation
something like Sl2, 5O0-a tidy sum.
With the advent of another season the
number raised will probably double
this seasons output, for numerous ones
of the valleys farmers who have never
engaged in turkey-raising before plan
to do so. Among those who are going
in on a large scale is Manager II. j.
Klnkead of the Comstoek ranch.
1t has been suggested that Fallonites
boom turkeys along with their other
prize products, and thus secure the top
market quotations-a benefit that now
goes to the jobber rather than to the
producer. Simply another case where
a part of the middleman's profit can be
appropriated by the producer if he will
exercise his wits

A Socialist knows that there is no.
more community of interests between
the working class and the capitalists
politically than there is industrially.
He knows that political party cannot
serve TWO masters, but that all the
old parties represent only the inter
ests of the capitalist class, which
finances, controls and owns them.
And so he has organized an entire
" new politicalf party. party separ-
ate and distinct \from all parties con-
trolled by himself and his comrades
and he has put the best Of his brains,
his energy and his enthusiasm into
making it a party which viii repre-

And so, in this new party he has
builded for himself, he has taken for

What The Western Federation Of Miners
Is Doing For Butte
Is above all 4 city party.

/ Is above all g city party.
We shall continue to carry cities in
eiections. and we must make good in
lcities FIRST.
It Is easy to learn q few so-called
revolutionary" phrases and to repeat
them on every occasion-the anarch-
| lists understand that easy art even
better than our impossibilist friends.
But human society is an organism
and as sapling grows from an acorn.
so must Socialism grow continually
until it becomes the great system Of
humanity: y
Our method means hard work and
perseverance. Our method requires
brains, knowledge and courage but
our method win win.
And to. return to Butte what the
comrades there can do, is to prove
that ii spite of all obstacles, the
working class is fully as capable Of
carrying on the business of q COM
munity as is the capitalist class and
that the working class is infinitely
more honest. They are doing that.
Under these circumstances feel
confident that the Socialists Of Butte
will not only hold their own at the
next county election, but will also
break, the ice for the far West and
elect representatives of the working
class to the legislature.
Moreover, am also sure that the
Socialists Of Butte, like the Socialists
Of Milwaukee, win never for one mo-
ment lose sight of the fact that it is
not the sole aim Of the Socialist party
just to give q clean and honest ad-
ministration and good government to
their respective cites.
Our aim is to abolish the present
system and to emancipate labor,
/ And last but not least do wish
that. Milwaukee was organized as
thoroughly on the industrial field, as
Butte is.
