George and his fantastic caravan of assorted antiques to realize the na- tion is at war. Before the food situa. tiOn grows too serious for salvation there ought to be bold and peremp. tory demand for the dismissal of the present army of incompetents from the numerous food departments and the installation of capable bodies of committeeman and managers"
 Where are you going to find all this talent?" 1 asked
 Well, we've always found it."
 You must pay pretty good price for it."
 B. Williams laughed. "The mem bers of uor board of managers get just $2,OOO a year each"
 "How do you keep them?"
 Most of them have grown up in the cooperative movement and thor. oughly believe init. They prefer the service they are rendering to the profit they might be making Once in a long while, of course. one is tempted away by a big salary that a concern insignificant in size compared to ours can afford to offer But we never lose the best ones.
 There's another phase of 1t, too. Big business isn't half the mystery that it is made out to be It is really pretty simple; we are able to furnish exact reports of our operations to our millions of members in language that nearly any one of them can under stand. And judged by ordinary stand. ards, ours would be considered amaz- ingly complex, with our steamships, our acres of tea lands in CeyIon, wheat lands in Canada, our insurance de partment banking business, clothing factories, poultry farms and so on.
 We could easily make d mystery of it, but our profits are not intended to be hidden; since they go to the 4,5O0,0O0 members, they are entitled to know how they are produced"
 In conclusion, MT. Williams ob served that in his opinion the cooper atOrs could solve the British food situation and would welcome the op. portunity to do it.

MYERS ON EYEAR LAND
LAW PASSES IN SENATE

The one-year homestead bill, intro
duced by Senators Myers was passed
in the Senate Tuesday of this week.
His bill, which was adopted as war
measure, modified the requirements
for taking over homestead tracts and
will result in the opening up of large
areas of homestead lands in the
west. The old law requires three
years to prove up claimants title
but the Meyers bill win simplify mat

cannot convey the same by deed they
are authorized to mortgage the pro-
perty in order to borrow money 20

The next garment allotment will
be late in reaching chapters, as ma
tional headquarters have determined
not to send out allotments until ma
terials are on hand for making the
articles.
The American Red Cross has be-
come a very large manufacturing
corporation and the scope of its work
is limited only by the shortage OF raw
materials and the capacity of fac
tories in making them up.
The situation should be carefully
explained to the workers, so that

ready to meet the next call. The ma
tional organization and Division
headquarters will lose no time in
sending out instructions for the fall
allotment as soon as circumstances

For State Senator, Henry Lowe, a
banker and old line elevator man, who
sometimes farms when he is not

Mr. Lowe was nominated on the re-

LOYALTY LEAGUE
ENDORSES TICKET
Old Gangsters Meet and Organize in Last
Desperate Effort to Beat the Nonpartisan
LeagueThey Quake in the Shadow
of Their Doom.


A week ago today, Friday, the 9Th
of September, members of the Ole
Gangsters and affiliated hangers on
Of the plunderbund, met and con
stittued themselves into what thew
were pleased to call the "Sheridan
County Loyalty League" however
just what they are so loyal to, ap-
pears to be the old pap lines of COM
nunication which seems TO be in dan
ger of being severed.
It is reported that the "great
scheme was Matched in the brooding
mind of Sunny Jim" Redmond, the
efficiency rubber stamp artist, who
is now the political boss Of the
Sheridan County Tammany Hall, and
serves as auditor Of the county.
The scheme is to inject the loyalty
issue into the coming campaign in
Sheridan county in the hopes of saw
ing some fthe old political hangers
on who have cost the county many
thousands of dollars in the past six
years, and who it appears are about
to be scrapped by the patriotic farm
ers in Sheridan county as war
economy.
The undertaking is not democratic
in it's nature. The select were called,
and a ticket was endorsed, to be
known as a loyalty ticket and then
the farmers are to be talked into
joining it and voting it straight, it
being now conceded by all of the old

QUILT BARRAGE DIDN'T STOP
JACK FROST SUNDAY

There was raid on the attics and
basement storehouses of Plentywood
and other Sheridan county towns, and
even on the farms, Sunday night in
the search for weapons with which
to counter attack Jack Frost, who
destroyed the gardens. The late fax
was completely destroyed, it is said.
Early in the evening the citizens
of the county began laying down a
heavy barrage of old rugs, blankets,
quilts, sacks and even newspapers.
But, the northern assailant got over
the top in this sector, especially
where the barrage was not so heavy.

COALRIDGE FARMER rs
KILLED IN ACTION

The name of Private Adolph Ste
phan, of Coalridge, appears in the
first section of the casualties among
U. S. troops, as reported by the COM
manding general of the American
expeditionary forces.
In the casualty list, Private Ste
phan's address is given Coal Ridge,
Mont, but since we do not know of
a town in this state under that name,
we presume it is mistake and was
meant to be Coalridge.
