T0WNLEY'S PAPER
PRAISES RED FLAG
Revolution in America Would BE Well
come, Says Producers News
of Plentyw0od.

Plentywood, Mont, Dec. 26.-Much
surprise has been occasioned by the
publication here in The Producers
News, the Socialist Nonpartisan Of
ficial organ, of eulogy of the red
flag of socialism. Editor Taylor is
one of the most active supporters of
the Nonpartisan League, being prac-
tically an employe of the League as
editor of the News.
In the issue of the News following
the signing of the armistice, Editor
Taylor stated the brotherhood of man
is coming soon, and
"Already the German-Kaisers have
fled from their thrones, already the
red flag of freedom and liberty, the
emblem of real democracy, the token
of the brotherhood of man and the
dawning era, floats gloriously over
the central powers and over oil the
Russians. 1t will soon be unfurled
over LaBelle France and over merrie
England, and then over the whole
world"
Editor Taylor of this Townley
paper closes his eulogy of the Red
Flag of Socialism with this state
ment:
"The dawn of the new era is rosy
and glowing.
"All lovers of liberty and justice
take heart.
"All hail the REVOLUTION"
The Producers News was bought
for Taylor, supposedly by the farmers
of Sheridan county with the help Of
Townley and many of them are rathe,
surprised to find their money is be-
ing used to extend the right hand oi
fellowship to Lenine and Trotzky.

The city of Glasgow was saddened

weeks ago and although everything
possible was done she failed steadily
and succumbed to the grim reaper on
Tuesday morning.

SAYS MUCH FUEL IS
WASTED IN HOMES

It's the waste-the unconscious,
often unconscionable waste-of fuel
in our homes that we must overcome
now. Charles Webster, the Iowa fuel
administrator, did the talking.
ut isn't the poor who waste fuel"
said the fuel boss, "nor is it the bus
mess man. In the office buildings
and stores as we'll as in factories the
heating is done with reasonable econ
omy. The business man counts the
cost. It is in our homes.
"Last winter while calling on
neighbor, the conversation turned to
the war and fuel. I had noticed the
house was overheated, so l remark
ed: You seem to have fuel to burn
your home seems oppressively warm
That's the trouble with our furnace;
it's either too hot or too cold,' replied
the lady in despairing tone, as if it
was the act of God whether her house
was too warm or too cold. Where is
your thermometer asked. She kept
that outdoors to show the outdoor
weather, she said. She didn't need it
in the house, because it was easy to
tell when she was warm or cold.
Haven't you heat control Of some
kind Yes, they had chain that con-
nected with the dampers of the fur
mace, but she never used the chain un-
til it got either too hot or too cold
for comfort-and Of course she could
not sit there all the day moving that
chain up and down.
"That," said Mr.. Webster, "is the
case in thousands of homes. The house
is either very warm or uncomfortably
cold. When it goes over 68 degrees
Fahrenheit, you are wasting fuel and
when you get the house cold, the ten
dency is to waste fuel to get it back
to a comfortable temperature again
"Thermostats that regulate the
dampers and draft Of furnace or boil
ers are so cheap, considering the
amount of fuel saved, that every home
ought to have one. Any builder will
tell you that thermostat is as essen
tial to making a house modern as {
bath tub-all new modern houses arr
using them. They can be installed or
any kind of heating plant in any ole
house and in one season they make
good the cost in fuel saved.
"The first question ask mar
when he complains to me about fue
is: How much do you waste? Have
you got a heat control on the heating
plant in your home? p figure we coulc
save 10 to Is per cent on our fuel il
we all used thermostats."

FLU EPIDEMIC AGAIN
DURING COMING YEAR
Experts Claim Second and Third Out
breaks Worse Than the First
May Be Expected.

Prepare now for another outbreak
of the enfluenza and pneumonia epi-
demic, more virulent attack, which
will almost certainly occur next year.
The American Public Health Asso-
citation, which recently held its con-
vention in Chicago, issued the warning.
Epidemics of influenza during the
last 200 years, the association says,
have been recurrent for from two to
three years following the initial out
break, and the visitation of 1918 is
almost certain to be repeated in 1919
and very proparbly in 1920"
"Another important phase of epi-
demic Influenza" it declares, is that
as rule the second and third out
breaks have been more virulent and
attendent with higher mortality rate
than we're the initial manifestations.
"Early in 1918 the influenza made
its first appearance in Spain, was
carried as mysterious malady that
swept the country as uncomfortable
as a prairie fire, striking down it's
tens of thousands daily.
"Now Spain is having its second
outbreak of the disease which accord
ing to the best information obtainable,
promises to extend we'll into next year.
And it is more virulent in form and
it is attended with an alarmingly high
death rate.
ut is gratifying to be able to state
that along that both prophylactic and
curative lines much has already been
achieved. Especially is this true in
the handling and care of influenza pa
tients in a way successfully to avoid
pneumonia complications which latter
appear to be largely responsible for
the high death rate. Along the lines
of curative measures is the Boston
fresh air and sunshine hospital tents"
The influenza program twill hold
the highest place in prominence and
interest,"" the associations bulletin
Promised. Following this convention
which lasted three days, the national
Organization for Public Health Nurs-
ing held a session on Dec. 13. This
body was formed to standardize pub
lie health nursing work and training

Lincoln County, Minnesota, arrived
here last Saturday and took into Gus
tody T. ]. Clifford, who has been West
ern Union operator here for the past
several weeks, who is wanted on an

THE TRUE CHRISTMAS
SPIRIT WAS ABROAD
Children Not Forgotten Though Regu-
ular Programs Were Not
Held As Usual.

The usual Christmas programs
which were ordinarily given by the
Sunday schools of the different church
es of the city during the Christmas
season, were lacking this year owing
to the influenza situation. Though
the epidemic is considered thing of
the past it was not thought advisable
to congregate the children in crowded
houses. Nevertheless they were not
forgotten.
A real, live up-to-date Santa Claus
was seen on the streets Christmas
Eve, riding in an automobile with his
attendants, and distributing sacks of
candy and nuts to the boys and girls
in the city.
Three hundred and seventy-five
sacks were given out in this way, and
as many children thus made happy
through the efforts of the Methodist
Sunday school, whose representative
Santa Claus was.
The usual Christmas treat was dis
tributed to the children of the First
Baptist church on Christmas Eve.
The children were notified through the
postoffice to call between the hours of
200 and 400 o'clock, at the George
Birmingham residence and receive
their gift.
A delightful Christmas party was
held through the united efforts of the
Congregational and Christian Sunday
schools on Thursday evening in the
Christian church.
No regular program was given, but
the children enjoyed the evening in
singing songs and playing games. Each
child received a gift of candy and
apples.

Boley, who is living on the ranch dur

by that time it was too late to do
anything toward saving the dwelling
