In Australia the veterans have
formed Returned Soldiers anu
Sailors Political league, with mem
bership of $1,000 in New South

Australian Labor party. Last Marcn
the Australian soldiers at the front

well Stick; Well Win" Don't
forget that. To elect most OF our
ticket and lose the rest-to elect the
entire ticket, if you please, would
mean nothing in itself.
The fact that one of your friends
are elected to some particular Office
or job, or the fact that one of your
personal enemies or some one that
you have a grudge against is showed
under" and you feel "real tickled,'
does not of itself mean a thing to
the farmers of Sheridan county or
the state of Montana or the govern
ment of the United States, or to the
old gang politicians.
This has all happened again and
again.
But the fact that the farmers got
together and nominated ticket and

MEANS EVERYTHING.
THE EXAMPLE OF SOLIDARI-
TY OF THE FARMERS WILL BE
THE MEANING THING OF THE
TIMES.
1t matters not about your likes
and ttslikes, but an example of the
ability of the farmers to march to

The big business interests are re-
ported to have completed their plans
for after the war. Does any one be-
lieve that what the great monopolies
are planning can be in the interest
of any but themselves? Indeed,
what the people want is sure to be
vastly different.
But will the people be able to ex-
press their will in strong fashion?
This must be done, and it can only
be done through organization.
One of the most subtle defenses
of conservation is that the modern

cracy is a process so inevitable and

Anything that suggests joining
something" surely gets on the nerves
of the county pensioners" and the
pap squad. Since the farmers joined
the league the word "join" has ter
rors all it's own and especially gives
little Joe, Sunny" Jim and the
"Three Blind Men from Bombay" the
"rumdums" right. The odoriferous
"Pie-Near" man 90 attended the
Rankin Rally" and saw all the de-
corations and notices and organiza-
ton cards of the SHERIDAN County
Farm Bureau" on the wall, left over
from the mass county convention,
and straightway went down to the
"Pie-Near" office and started fault
finding. This is as good a joke on
the Farm Bureau as it is on the
"Pie-Near." 1t shows the farmers
of the county just what substance
there is in anything that appears in
that organ of "Sunny" Jim and the

Tt is said that Andrew Fadness
put L. J. Onstad across for county
attorney last election and that this
year he is trying to put "crybaby"
Vollum over. 1t occurs to us that
the "inexpressables Andrew is going
from bad to worse-at least his last
years candidate gives a person the
impression of being "full grown" or
maybe Andrew has a liking for small
boys-if that is his excuse we might
tolerate the "fancy."

lines over there, are being paped out

Producers News, whose patriotism
every person takes for granted, were
involved the way little Joe is, We
would also chatter about "paytriot-

get the farmers minds off from the

Can't Drift to Democracy

predestined in the evolution of So
ciety that no clearly conscious di-
rection is required. The dissipation
of this belief should be one. of the
chief services of this war.
Democracy can not be brought
about by drift of unconscious pur-
pose. 1t needs organization and di-
rection by the cooperative will of
individuals and nations. Until this
cooperative will has been created
and made effective, it must continue
to remain an open question whether
democracy is possible. The main at
tack must be upon the vested inter-

Chicago Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, May 1--Ifresh intimation
 of a peace offer forthcoming gave new impetus today to the downward ten dcncy of the corn market. Favorable
 weather for planting counted also as bearish, influence. Trade, through,
 lacked volume. Opening prices. which varied from unchanged figures to l-4
 cent up. with May $127 1-4 and July $l.4S to s'1.4S 3-S were followed by d material setback, but then by some thing of a rally.
 Subsequently, assertions that re- ccpits at Kansas City and St. Louis would be ligat from now on led to a moderate upturn in values. but re-
 ports that the East was offering to resell cash grain acted later as more than an offset. The close was weak
 at the same as yesterdays finish to 2 5-S cents lower with May $127 1-4 and July $1.45 3-S to $145 3-4.
 Oats like corn, responded to peace talk and to excellent field conditions
 Besides, no evidence appeared of any pressing demand from the east. After opening 28 off to 1-S to IT. cent up, with July Fl 5-S to n 3-4 prices fell sharply, and later recovered.

MANY FARMERS ARE

Nearly 50 Per Cent on North Side Ruined by Wet and Cold Weath-
 er-Urge More Corn.

Nearly 50 per cent cf- the cotton on the north side of thc~river in Jeffer- son county must be replanted, accord- ing to Joel Lambert, farm demonstra- tion agent for that section. Only a small per cent must be repanted on the south side, says C. II. Thomas, agent for this side.
 Hard, driving rains, followed by cold weather has caused the seed to rot, they say. Farmers on the north side planted very early, and will suf- fer a heavy loss. Similar weather all over the cotton belt has delayed growth, according to Associated Press reports.
 The demonstration agents arc urg- ing those planters whose cotton was lulned to put more acreage in corn instead of replanting all cotton in or der that the county's corn crop will nc. be so short.
