The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1918-06-21
Stuck Pig Squeals!

died publicity organ VI IHC eooAo
house gang, in headed first-page
article last weeisS, tried in sickly
and puerile way, the only way it is
capable of, to justify both itself ana
the county commissioners and others
responsible for the looting of the
treasury OF the people of Sheridan
county in the recent letting OF the
cont act for the county printing, by
squeezing like stuck pig.
It got all red in the face and net
up, and fairly screamed: liar, liar
liar!
We have, in our experience met
up with just. such instances before,
when people have been caught in
cues .lonable acts OF with the goods
upon them.
When they have nothing else to
offer in defense of disreputabie or
near criminal acts, they usually wrap
themselves in the flag, talk patriot
ism, and yell: liar, liar, liar!
If the little. boyling editor of the
"Pie near" Press can show to the
satisfaction of any honest, disinter-
ested person, where the Producers
News has lied in one instance in
reference to the letting of the coun-
ty printing, this paper will apologize
in a scare-head article.
TIT "Pie-near" Press started its
ridiculous article by calling the Pro
duce.s News a "pay sheet, as il
said the News is commonly known
The Producers News has been unabls
to fird out from any of those consid
cred wise and quick at puzzles ant
conuncrums, just what is meant b,
this clever remark, All said that tn
expression sounded very "phunny"
but they could not tell for the lif'
Of 'em what it meant.
Ho yever. if the "Pie-near" Pres
man meant that the Producers New
is a paper that can grow and thriv
and wax strong, without subsid
or a pipeline into the peoples stron;
boxes, then we confess, that perhap
"pay sheet" is a very clever and ap
propriate name for the Producer
News.
We wager that sthe "Pie-near
Press is not in half SO happy con
ditioa, and will add right here, tina
if that subsidized organ, by any hoo
or crook, Should ship up on its coun
ty printing "pap" that we would nc
give over thirty cents on the dolla
for the five thousand dollars wort
of paper held by the banks of thi
city; we would surely consider
'shaky," to say it easy.
The "Pie-rear" Press says that tn
Producers News tried to defame til
coun.y commissioners. Now that's
mean jab. ibis paper cannot kee
ND with the commissioners and the
allie, at the court house on thu
job. No, no, sonny, they need 7
one to defame them. They are d.
ing that to themselves faster ar
more completely than it would be
the poor capability of the Produces
News to do so.
Just think of it..
A. this particular time, when Il
natios is face to face with nation
crises wher. the boys of the land a
giving their life blood for liberty al
demvcracy-when tie people are di
ging down deep in their pockets al
denying then selves, to buy Liber
bonds-when the citizens of our lal
are giving to the Red Cross till
hurts--when the farmers are, almo
single handed, planting the higge
crop in the history of the natio
working night and day, while the
sons are facing the firing line of t
Huns, in order that the people of t
word may have more food, and t
war sustained, what are the Gust
dians of the peoples money doing
Siberian county?
Wasting it like water.
Giving it to their political ia
orites.
Ard at the same time, our 10.
and sacrificing farmers have
moneJ for roads, necessary roa
over which the wheat to feed 3
soldiers must be drawn.
T;Gs surely is infamy, and the P
duce. ) News need not defame
fair name of any one.
Shame on such deeds at this tn
which are scandalous and disgra
full at any time.
Yes, shane on such deed.
Any one that in any way hind
the farmers and producers, II !
