During the winter months, numerous

ed by delays in obtaining materials in
spite Of foresight in placing contracts
long ago, and on account Of railroad

FARMERS MISLED
ON FOOD CONTROL
SAYS SCOTT FERRIS
Minimum Price Established for Products
Bul Higher Price Oblaiuable If II
Can Be Secured

That the American farmer is either
being misled or has not read the con
tents Of the food control bin Alright
is the substance OF communication
received from Congressman Scott Fer.
lrs by Arthur Ersland secretary of
the Grady County Retail Merchants
association. who, with other private
citizens. wired the representative their
approval of the food control measure.
I Congressman Ferris write;
Il am in receipt of your communi-
cation regarding pending legislation,
and note carefully what you say.
at is the opinion Of those best in
formed on the subject that the legisla-
tion referred to will ne so administer
ed by President Wilson that it will af-
ford an honest and open market for
the six and a half million farmers Of
America where they may sell the pro-
duets Of their farm,
"The Food Bill empowers the presi-
dent to insure the farmer a certain
fixed price and the government be-
comes am insurer that the farmer viii
receive at least that amount therefor.
On the other hand, if it is possible for
the farmer to secure greater price
than the one fixed by the government,
nothing in the legislation precludet
him from selling it to anyone and for
the higest price obtainable. In addi-
tion to the above the legislation vests
ample authority in the president to
see to it that food spectators and
gamblers in food products do not rob
the people Of their all and reduce them
to hunger, want and starvation.
The farmers sold their wheat last
year for S125 per bushel to the spec

make bread out of it, for $500 per
bushel | was in Michigan in February
in the frozen north, and the coal spec
uiators bought up the coal in July and
August for $3.50 per ton and sold it
for S11.00 per ton in February Those
exhorbitant profits made by the specu- /
lrs work great hardship on the
American people in peace times and
atill greater hardship at time when
the country is engaged in war
IF ten million of our boys are viii |
ling to offer themselves up to fight for
liberty. freedom and the defense Of |
the starry banner of the republic; if a |
hundred million patriotic citizens are
willing to have themselves obligated |
10 pay seven billion dollars in taxes
10 carry on this war, it is not too much |
to ask that those food gamblers and |
.ood spectators be shorn Of those ex-
lorbitant profits which they are wiring
ing out of not only the farmer but the
consumer as we'll This bill properly
is going to be a blessing
o the country and have faith in Pres

the government places in each
county an Emergency Food Agent
for the period of the war and also
pays the salary and travelling eX-
penseS of the agent, and the coun-
ty is asked to cooperate to the
extent of furnishing and equip
ping an Office and furnishing
office help necessary. The or
eanization affected is for the pur-
pose of complying with the re9u-
lations as to office help and a
membership fee of one dollar IS
charged and every resident OF
Jackson county should become
members and assist with the good
work. Each of the Directors and
local committeeman, as we'll as
many others, have membership
cards and the Press hopes that
all the people of the county will
become members of this organ
iZation.
The work of a County Agent
is saving thousands of dollars to
the people of the counties that
have them and there is not a
county that has a county agent
that would now part with them.
Let's all pull together, sign up
the membership cards, pay IN
our dollar, as the fifty did last
Tuesday evening. and put Jack

more.
On Friday evening, November
23rd, another meeting will be held

Fair Meeting Held

One of the very best and most
enthusiastic meetings OF the Jack

held Tuesday evening in the Club
Room of the Masonic Temple and
at that time occurred the annual
election of officers and other mat
ters of interest to the Association
were taken up and given atten-
ton, For several years past an
indebtedness of considerable size
has handicapped the officers in
the conduct of the Fairs and at
the meeting Tuesday evening ov-
er two-thirdS of the amount nee
cesSary to pay this up was sub
scribed and it is confidently ex-
pected that the amount will be
fully subscribed when the balance
of the business men OF kadoka
are interviewed.
Right here the Press wants to
speak words of commentator tor
the farmers who were present at
the meeting and who each walked
up to the table and planked down
their liberal sums of money to
help out in the good cause, and in
matters pertaining to the welfare
of the Association they showed a
live interest in the county fair
and in its continuation and sue
cess. The boosting spirit and in
terest shown will be an incentive
to the officers on whose shoulders
will fall the work of next years

unparalleled in the history of the
world. We were at war, a stu
pendouS and an unthinkable war.
We were fighting for national ex-
istence. We are now fighting for
liberty and law. We are fighting
for the supremacy of the Golden
Rule, the Lords Prayer, the Ser
mon on the Mount, Ten Com
mandments and for the religion
of the Lowly Nazarene. We are
fighting the erossest form OF
tyranny that has afflicted human
ity since the time of the middle
ages. We are fighting a nation
whose emperor proclaims him
self the special instrument OF the
Almighty, a nation whose high
officials, with a moral deDravity
that is shocking and revolving,
renounce the binding force OF
treaties and of international law
and of national OBLIGATIONS, and
who promul9ate and carry out a
policy of destruction, without
leaving a trace; a nation obSeSSed
with a spirit of supremacy over
all other people.
That is the situation which the
nation found itself in when this
law was passed. 1t must be in
terpreted in the light of the cir
cumstanceS under which 1t was
passed. Every citizen must real
ize the extremity of his country,
the necessity for tremendous or
QaniZatiOn to meet that power
which is ruthless in the measures
with which it undertakes to en-
force its ends.
The right to critlCise the ad-
ministration of a law is one thing;
the violation of the law is an en-
tirelv different thing. The right
of free speech is one thing; the
right to prevent an officer from
performing his duty under the
/ law is an entirely different thing
| A right cannot be so exercised as
to constitute a violation OF the
law. Even an act legal in itself
cannot be done in an unlawful
manner. The night of petition
and free speech in this case were
the thinly veiled pretenses used
to obstruct the enlistment and re
Cruiting of soldiers in the service
of the United States. The right
of petition and free speech can
: not be used 10 violate the law
they cannot be so subverted as tt
obstruct the recruiting and enlist
ment in the service of the United
, States to the injury of the United
! States.

defendants was safeeuarded, ant

Murder Committed
At COnata

Joe kelii.er is interned in Jail at
Rapid City on the charge of the
murder of Harrison Bear, a half
breed Indian of Omaha. The al
legged killing was committed at
3:30 a. m. Saturday morning at
a dance held at Conata. The
tragedy occurred at the conclusion
OF the dance when it is said that
Keliher after having imbibed wine
secured from cache uncovered
in the cellar of a hotel at Conata,
walked out of the dancing hall ac-
Companied by the Indian. I'm
mediately after their departure,
it is alleged, shots were heard and
it is said that Keliher once out
doors had drawn his revolver and
shot Bear twice through the body,
One bullet penetrating the Stom'
ach and lodging in the inteStineS
which resulted in Bears death
later. The halfbreed was at once
hurried to a hospital here and
though physicians worked upon
him for eighteen hours they were
unable to save him.
No motive has yet been found
which would satisfactorily ac-
count for the shooting, and unable
to furnish the new $4,000 bond
Keliher was placed in custody.
Since the murder he had been at
liberty on a bond of 81 500 for the
attempted shooting of Bear but
| this action was dismissed and the
bond rejected for the new charge
of murder.
Harrison Bear was a farmer,
26 years of age. a graduate OF
Haskell and Carlisle and is sur,
vived by wife and two children
The alleged murderer is single
man, 81 years and is the nephew
of Morris Keliher of this city and
who is reputed as the largest sub
scriber to the Liberty Loan in the
state.
