A PIONEER RANCHER
and MERCHANT dies
Well Known Business Man Answers
Last Summons to the
Great Beyond.

j. A. Ford, pioneer merchant and
rancher of this city died Wednesday
morning. Mr.. Ford had been suffer-
ing for a number of years with a
cancer but on account of his iron
constitution did not give up until the
last. He is one of the pioneers of
the Big Muddy valley, having set
tied here several years before the
railroad built north and the town of
Plentywood was founded. He at
that time had a large sheep ranch
but later engaged in the general
merchandise business in this city
for several years and later being en-
gagged in the pool and bowling alley
business up until a few months ago,
when he sold his place of business,
the Mission Oak Billiard parlor, to
Kelly & Goodman.
Mr.. Ford leaves family consist
ing of a widow and five sons. He
was member of the B. P. 0. Elks,
the Odd Fellows and the Knights of
Pythias. The funeral will be held
from the Community hall, Friday
afternoon at o'clock, with the Elks
in charge.

SHERIDAN COUNTY
SERGEANT SPEAKS
Fr0id Farmer Boy, Now a Sergeant
of Pershing's Veterans, Making
Tour for Uncle Sam

James L. Stephens, better known
to his friends and neighbors as.
Les, now sergeant of the Unit
ed States army, held large audi
ence at the Orpheum theater in rapt
attention Sunday evening while he
spoke of his experiences at the bat
tle-front in France. Sergeant Ste
phens left his mothers farm near
Froid less than one year ago and
enlisted in the army at Williston, n.
d. He was stationed there for n
short time and then in camp in
North Carolina for a short time. He
has seen actual service on the bat
tlefeld in France and was gassed
and wounded in action. His voice
was affected by the gas to such an
extent that he was able to talk only
in low tone.
He demonstrated to his audience
that he could adjust the gas mask
in less than ten seconds after the
signal given for gas. His story of
being seasick enroute across the At
lantic and then being kissed by
about rs old Frenchmen when he
landed amused the audience.
He is one of the so veterans pick
ed to tour this country on hehalf of
the third Liberty loan and has just
completed his tour and will enjoy a
30-day furlough with his mother at
'Froid. Sergeant Stephens has never
had any experience in public speak
ing before making the tour but his
bearing and platform appearance in
spite of his weak voice plainly show
ed that he has ability in this line.
After his furlough is ended he will
return to France to again face the
machine guns, which he says that
he prefers to facing audiences.
Sheridan county has reason to be
proud of this young man, who has
thus far attained the greatest dis
tinction of any of our local boys and
perhaps none will even equal his
honors. The Producers News is
proud to acknowledge him as a true
and tried representative of Peerless
Sheridan county in the War for
World Democracy. The best luck
and safe return to you, "Les" Ste
phens.

that in legal matters he would sign
no document unless he knew what it
contained.
All this was very confusing to the
council and to the interested audi
ence, but because of the prominence
| OF the witnesses the council evident
| ly could not doubt their statements.
The matter of a lease from the A..
Z. M. to Oscars company-from
which the A c.. M. realized about
S23O,000 On a basis of 35%-was
brought up and rather vaguely ex-
planned by Mr.. Gilhe. On cross
examination by Mr.. Lobel he was
still more vague, but one cannot ex-
pect busy man like Mr.. Gillie to
know all about everything. At least
this seemed to be the opinion of the
council.
Mr.. Roy Alley was not present
at this time, so Oscar had to be
content with the tributes of the
gentleman mentioned 1t appears
to have been sufficient, as the coun-
Gil acquitted Oscar of the charge of
disloyalty, and simply stated that
he had been "indiscreet."
So probably it wasn't necessary
for Mr.. Alley to be present as Os-
car appeared to have at least a ma
jority of the A. C. M. staff.
We are of the opinion that if Mr..
Rowe, Mr.. Evans, and Mr.. Gillie
were under any obligations to Oscar
that they have paid it in full, with
interest.
We are very sorry that Mr.. Allen
was not able to be present at the
love-feast. It would have removed
any lingering doubt that there is a
rift in the lutte, that all is not har-
mony among the A. C. M. execu-
tives.
Of course, We are prejudiced, but
while Mr.. Evans, Mr.. Gillie and Mr..
Rowe were fulsomely eulogizing Mr..
Rohn, we were constantly reminded
OF quotation from Shakespeare,
ME thinks he doth protest too
much" But as we said, we are un-
doubtedly prejudiced.
Yes, We believe that they have
hquidated any obligatios they may
have incurred during the recent
troublous times.
AS concerning Oscars indiscre-
tions we are in full accord with the
council, and we might go farther
and say, that it was up to him to
either admit disaffection as far as
our war was concerned or to admit
being the dupe of Carl Pohl.
He made the latter choice and his
reputation for shrewdness has suf-
fered considerably. No more will

Ihe State Council of Defense con-

Some forgot the training of years,

men with consuming ambitions and

Usually, truth finished a bad sec

We Ike to think that the Bulle-

"Alsace-Lorraine," by
George Wharton Edwards

WITHIN the ornately bound covers
w of large octave volume entitled
4Isace- Lorraine, George Wharton Ed
wards tells with pictures and text much
of the story of the two lost provinces OF
France that have been redeemed to her
since this book was written. Mr.. Edwards
is best known among us as n water color
painter of meticulous technique of Maine
coast scenes. Here we see him both as q
painter of the peoples and the landscapes
of the two provinces and as a writer of
pleasant gossip about his travels up and
down these charming countrysides from
his entering II by the road from Belfot
to Mulhouse to the day when, in an
autumn rainstorm, he drove out of it In
the Vosges country.
Legends, history, current politics word
sketches of the people and particularly OF
their inns and the cab drivers fill the in
tervening pages. 1t is not very profound,
but it is very pleasant reading, barring
the guide book sort of historical matter
and the quotations from current political
literature on the position of these two
provinces. And yet somehow there is
sense of disappointment on putting down
the book that so elaborate setting should
have no greater substance.
The binding frankly stems from the
bookbinder's designs of the eighteenth
century; the ornate fron6spiecc in color
attempts to combine Gothic motive with
the symbolic figures of the two provinces;
the thirty-six full page plates in color and
monotone are in Mr.. Edwards's least in
spired style; and the Gothic type of the
title and chapter headings is abominably
heavy and inartistie geographically, A
modest dress both as to size and typog-
raphy would have been more eminently
suited to these slight travel notes that are
overupholstered with historical padding.

Brieux in America.

Brieux cannot soon be forgotten. Most
Of his purpose plays are already dead,
but the man who wrote them is still vital
figure. His deep and sympathetic nature,
his vast and wholehearted understanding
Of humanity will long be remembered
His most didactic plays serve but to show
the mans OVERLOOKING sympathy; they
are monuments to his passionate desire to
help his fellow beings.
] like TO think of Brieux in Chicago
four years ago, and Brieux now in France
As enisSary TO America from the French
Government il was his business to show
us a specimen Of the perfect French gen
tleman; as a man with natural curiosity
and love of pleasure he made II point to
"see' Chicago. We set out one after
noon, therefore, on a round of Tire hotels
and cafes. He directed me first to take
him 10 the best hotels and Introduce him
TO the best cocktails; then to the character
istie saloons. Hinky Drinks famous Clark
street place gave him deeper pleasure than
the Blackstone bar, and have no doubt
he enjoyed his three cent beer there more
than the elaborate mixed drinks in the
Pompeian room.
Is there need TO say that Brieux was
not interested primarily in the drinks as
drinks2 To a Frenchman a cocktail is
an exotic institution: who would dare
admit after n trip to China that he had

But-He's a Drarnatist!

Brieux's viewpoint, and the extreme Sc
robustness with which he assumed il, de-
termined the sort of work he was TO do.
His first play TO receive deserved consid-
Grafton was a rather crude satire on false
bohemianism. Artists Families is the sort
of work one might expect from some ar
dent young Westerner falling in the
midst of Greenwich Village.
Strangely enough, this passionate ardor
TO reform the world never quite killed the
born artist in Brieux; were BIieux n re-
former and nothing else should not think
II worth while discussing him. But he is a
dramatist who knows his business. 1t was
he himself who first set me thinking about
a neglected aspect of his work.
had gone to see him with the inten-
tion rather Of discussing the ideas of the
man than the plays in which they were
set, but during our first conversation /
became aware that there was in him 4
good deal of the artists pride, and not
quite so much of that ardor which is the
first thing To strike one in reading the
plays
A Living Contradiction?
1t was just five years ago, in Paris. I
met him at the Cafe Weber in the Rue
Royale. My impression of the man 1
jotted down al the time: "A heartily TO
bust, modest yet assertive man of middle
age, rudy, almost insolently healthy
dressed in a common blue serge suit,
wearing a derby hat, smoking a cigarette
and slipping coffee-he reminded me of
and Englishman or American playing the
role of a Partisan. Slightly above middle
height, rather thick set, with fine, open,
clean shaver face, short curly grayish
hair, sparkling blue eyes-upon close in
spection he presented the appearance of n
French peasant who had lived long
enough in Paris to acquire a fair amount
Of metropolitan polish. Genial, communal

cative, nj times rather satrical, he strikes
me as Il self-made titan, a cosmopolitan
man of the world-yet withal essentially
French"
ii sounds contradictory, does it not?
Well, he ras something of peasant and
something of a man of the world; he
lacked polish" and he had it. The truth
is, he was a Frenchman who tried to
freak the bonds of provinciality binding
SO many of his coun rymcn TO their fair
land and institutions When ! first saw
him in Paris and when | saw him later in
America lie was the same restless French
man, always striving to obtain broader
outlook over the world of men and insti-
tuti0ns.

The Munyon of the Drama.


The Munyon of the Drama.
Among the purpOseful dramatists of
the past two decades none has appealed
so Immediately and SO foreefully as Eu-
gene Brieux. In my unregenerate youth
the moral integrity and intense seriousness
Of the man took hold of me, and | fear l
was often guilty of writing the sort of
twaddle have just referred to. / don't
regret my enthusiasm; it merely proved
that my interests at the time lay more
in the direction of morals than art. And
this is precisely the trouble with Brieux
Brieux was n very earnest minded
young man of the people. Though he
was born in Paris, he spent his wears OF
adolescence in the provinces, and began
his literary work at ROuen. Without
doubt he looked askance at Paris, Oh
serving there the evils which lay at the
root of the social disintegration of France.
Brieux was always better acquainted with
the farmer and the workingnan than with
the typical Partisan, and his point Of view
to his credit, be if sad-was that Of the
outsider he was never able 10 feel quite
at home in literary Paris, and when he
wrote about that city he was still the ar
dent young reformer, exposing the mgral
cesspools communicating the whole eoun-
