summing up to the days of Dewey at
Manila for what he termed parallel
for the vindication of the acts of his
clients in sending coal and supplies
from American ports to German
feet in the south Atlantic in the early
days of the European war.
"Was this wrong?" asked William
Rand, jr., chief of the defendants coun-

this conspiracy to deceive and defraud
the United States? Let's see, let's go

She Had a Narrow Escape

AS little Marguerite Jacobson, the
six-year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Edwin Jacobson, was going home from
school at noon Wednesday, she got her
foot fast in the frogs Of the railroad
track and couldn't extricate it, while
the switch-engine was coming towards
her. Her cries attracted the attention
of a passing boy, Harry Olson, who ran
to her and unbuttoned her shoe, re-
leasing her foot, taking the shoe out
later, while the frightened little miss
hurried home.

McVeyPreachesC Gospel
Of FarmCo-operatio1l

Chicago, Nov. 30.-Cooperation as
the first and important step in the
proposed reorganization OF American
agriculture along lines that will bring
lasting prosperity was pictured by
Frank l.. McVey, president of the Uni.
versity of North. Dakota and chair
man of the thirtieth national confer
ence on marketing and farm credits,
in his address welcoming the dele
gates. He argues for better agricul
ture, better markets and better financ
ing and said in part:
1--WE are told that of wealth produc
ed in given year, agriculture was to
be credited for 100000, 900 and that
36 per cent of the population of the
United States is engaged in farming or
supported by it. Despite this show.
ing, agriculture taken as whole, has
not prospered. It is agreed that
there must be changes, which may be
centered about three things:
Q) Better agriculture, ca better
markets and (3) better financing.
Better agriculture is fairly we'll
taken care of through the work of the
department of agriculture, in the
activities of the farming associations
and by the schools and colleges. But,
it has been clearly shown that better
agriculture depends upon an adequate
system of finance. Improvements
have taken place in the quicker trans
portation of products and is prompter
financial service Yet these have not
touched the real problem.
Between the farmer and the con-
sumer there is great commercial
and financial gap. In the mercantile
world this gap between the producer
and the consumer is being bridged
rapidly by the establishment of the
necessary machinery of branches and
agents. But, the farmer is playing
the game alone and finds it increasing
ly difficult to protect himself against
his own ignorance and isolation.
1.-THE farmer should come to larger
appreciation of the necessity of CO.
operation between the agricultural
groups. 1t is not question of social
ism or individualism, or democracy or
republicanism, it is a question of eff
cheney and social betterment.
There is still a third element in
this problem to be considered. Fl
nancing the farmers has been dis
cussed nearly everywhere. Without
question, no great industry can pro-
gress unless it has an adequate system
of finance. The commercial world
long learned this and the farmer must
come into a clearer appreciation of
its meaning. AS yet no plan has
been attempted and no details have
been made clear. 1t is now time that
both be done.
In the final analysis, no one is 60
ing to solve the farmers problem for
him. He must do that for himself.
Nor will he solve it by his clannish
attitude of class spirit. The problems
are fundamentally economic and must
be based upon sound principles of
business and finance. Hence cooper
alton becomes the keynote"

SATURDAY A BUSY DAY
FOR PEACE OFFICERS

Saturday was full of excitement in
the local courts of Roman. Usually
peaceful and law abiding, some of the
populace selected that day for a di-
version, their actions being generally
attributed to the arrival of cargo of
tirewater.
Upon request of Special Officers
Glenn and Ramsey, Farmer w. G..
Brown arrested Cook McCrea and Joe
Brown and held them until Messrs.
Glenn and Ramsey arrived. On their
arrival, warrants were sworn out and
they were taken before the u. S. COM
missioner charged with introducing
liquor on the reservation. McCrea said
he was guilty and was remanded to the
Missoula county Jail to await the action
of the federal grand jury. Brown pro-
tested his innocence and asked for a
hearing, which was set for Friday,
Sept. II. In default of bail, he was
also remanded to the custody of Sheriff
Whitaker. Both are charged with
bringing in cargo Of booze, entering
the reservation at Perma and making
their way across the hills to Sloan and
then on into Roman.
AS result of the above shipment it
is said a number of the Roman thirsty
took on enough to make them quarrel
some, among them being Hector Nc
Leod and Marion Deschamps. The
former felt called upon to take fall
out of some one and proceeded to as
sault his sister, Mrs. Curtis Rosskopf,
after which he gave Mr.. Rosskopf
severe beating. Deputy Sheriff Engle
took him in charge and escorted him
before Judge Bailey, who assessed a
fine of $l00 and ninety days on one
charge and placed him under $1,000
bonds on a second charge. Deschamps
was also arrested and charged with be-
ing disorderly He will have hearing
before Judge Bailey next Saturday.
