Montana, Washington, Idaho and Ore
gon and there are 100000 excellent
reasons why the sovereign people
should contribute of their substance
for there are 100000 teen-age girls
in the northwestern district to be
helped and inspired through club,
camp and conference activities. Val
ley county's share is only $125 out Of
the state ap~portionment Of $685..
The solicitors surely will have no diff
ficulty in finding 1875 people in the
county who will invest $1.00 each in
the girls of today, for we'll they know
that dividends will be paid in the Ia
tional life Of tomorrow. Some of the
money will be spent in putting a
trained organizer in each county seat
for the purpose Of organizing county

alike. The war work funds are not
available for local work and a strict
account of those funds has been made

OF TWENTY
YEARS GIVEN BERGER
Like Terms Were Given to Four 9th
ers.-Berger Reads Statement in
Which He Defends Socialism.

Chicago, February 20.-Victor L.
Berger and the four other socialists
convicted Of violating the espionage
act were each sentenced to twenty
years imprisonment by Federal Judge
K. M. Lands today after he had over
ruled motions for a new trial.
Before sentence was passed, Berg
er read a long typewriter statement
in which he defended the principles Of
socialism and declared that the war
had been an "imperalistic war and
the peace made will be the same"
He attributed the wars end to the
"revolt by socialists in Germany and
the German navy"
Judge Lands listened patiently for
hours while each Of the defendants
delivered speeches on socialism and
likened themselves to the political and
moral martyrs of history. 1t was their
privilege to say soemthing before SEN
tence was pronounced, and each took
full advantage Of the opportunity.
When the last one sat down, Judge
Lands pronounced sentence. It was
the maximum.
Berger is publisher of the Milwauk-
ee Leader, a socialist daily, and was
n of the organizers, with Eugene V.
Debs, of the national socialist party.
Of the other convicted men, Irwin St.
John Tucker was a lecturer and writ
er for the party. J. Louis Engdahl
was editor of the socialist daily news
paper; William Kruse was head of
the Young eople's Socialist league,
and Adolph Germer was secretary Of
the socialist party.

PRAISES SENATOR SLATTERY.

Mr.. S. J. Rumble returned from
Helena, where he has been in the in
terest of the Glasgow normal school,
and in conversation yesterday with a
business friend said:
81 am sure proud to be a citizen
Of a county and town which elected
a man to the state senate of the abil-
ity, fairness and honesty that prompts
the motives of our state senator, John
L. Slattery. It is a pleasure to let
old friends in the county know that
Mr.. Slattery was our state senator,
and his fairness in taking the business
mems and farmers interests into con-
sideration at all times and deal JUS
tice to all is making him a friend of
the people of the state. His stand
on the herd law and interest limit bills
shows that he is a friend to the farm
er and the man who has to borrow
money. Without question Mr.. Stat
terry is one of the hardest working
men in the state senate. I found it
a common thing to find MI. Slattery
working on bills in his room at the
late hour of IL O'Clock at night, and
when this session is owe he will have
a record that will be hard to beat.
Regarding our representatives, l
am very much pleased with their stand
on all matters of interest to the state,
and their vote shows that they are
voting for what they consider the
best interests of the state. They de-
serve credit for their untiring efforts
to serve the people Of Valley county.

COOPERATION VERSUS COL
LECTIVISM,

The Farmers Educational and Co.
operative Union has been in session
at Spokane.
This union, which operates 235
warehouses and elevators emphasizes
the fine work of the farmers union
in building and operating grain ware
houses and elevators and illustrates
the advantage of cooperation as
against socialism. Under the parent
organization are subsidiary compan-
les that operate warehouses and ele-
vators. They handle on an average
about three-fourth of the grain coming
to the points where these elevators
are maintained. While some of these
subsidiaries are corporations, all are
operated under the cooperative plan
and have distribution of profits.
Shrewd Ben Franklin once said that
God helps those that help them
Selves" The farmers can best help
themselves through wisely directed
cooperation. The state and federal
government can help, but can not do
it all, and there are many undertake
ings that the government can not
perform half 50 we'll as farmers and
others can perform for themselves by
joining hands and pulling together.
The success of the Farmers Coop
e~rative union in Washington, Idaho,
Montana and other states makes them
slow to take up the N%onpartisan
league plan of state and federal own
ership in place of cooperation which
Is self-help instead of socialism and
us ultimate confiscation of property
and destruction of individual rights.

PROTECTION FOR THE WOOL
GROWERS.

The western woolgrowers are ma
king a hard fight for the existence
of that industry now attacked on all
sides.
Besides the government dumping
large holdings on the market the bars
are let down for enormous importa-
'tions. This imported wool is produc-
ed by the cheap labor of Argentine,
all the latin-American countries, Aus
tralia and New Zealand.
Without embargos and import du-
ties to put them on a level with this
unfair competition the days of the
wool industry are numbered.
The woolgrowers do not want gov
eminent control or ownership of mar
keting facilities Of the sheep and cat
tie industry as proposed. The gov
eminent asked the general public to
conserve wool during the war and to
use all kinds of substitutes for WOOL
ems.
By the same token the woolgrowers
now ask the government to demand
a law that substitution cease unless
properly labelled. They demand that
there be a stop to increasing game
as wool and meat are more
necessary than propagation Of wild
game.
Sheep and ~woolgrowers further de-
mand that their property be not long
err assessed on the basis of war val
uations.

A APIARY.

In order to increase the honey yield
a California bee-keeper has a portable
apiary in the form of an auto truck
which has been specially equipped for
this service. During the year the
hives are moved from the orange
groves to the sage covered mountains,
and from there to the %blossoming bean
fields. He says this method increases
the yield of honey by tons.

not with pessimisn and Russio-Ger-
man theories.
We want prosperity in America, but
not swollen fortunes. We want big
rewards for men who do big construc-
tive things, and Jail sentences for the
big fellows who steal the fruits of
their work and the savings of small
investors. There have been altogeth-
err too many mavericks loose on the
range, sucking COWS on which they
have no claim. There would be nj
real railroad mess, no necessity for
trying to pare down wages in basic
industries, if there had been no bank
err control and no fragrant watering
of the stock of these corporations.
For this reason, if for no other, re-
auctions in high dividends must pre-
cede reductions in high wages during
the adjustment period.
The wise business man is not the
n who is talking about liquidating
labor, but the one who is sharpening
his pencil in order to figure out a way
to keep wages up. The reactionary
business man must get it clearly in
his head that the country is not in
terested in speeding up business in
order that he may have a new motor,
or a new country house and a flock of
footmen, but that the whole mass of
Americans may move up to a higher
plane of living and self-respect. He
must be satisfied with a fair but a
smaller share of the profits. Labor
must not only be kept employed but
we'll paid. Courage and common
will do it-courage to go ahead, to
expand, and to bet on the country
that has never failed the man who be-
lieved in it-common sense to under
stand that no prosperity is worth
while that is based on the exploitation
of others, and that no gains will be
lasting that are not fairly divided.
America is big and rich and she
has been able to stand a lot of damn
ed nonsense, but this is not the time
for any sort Of nonsense from either
Bolsheviki or Reactionaries. And one
of the best symptoms Of the times is
the determination of intelligent and
forward-looking business men to stand
for a square deal. We have passed a
library Of laws trying to stop the
growth Of evils, but not to stop the
evils. At this very minute we are
lifting the restrictions that safeguard
small investors during the warm
effect saying to the wolves: "There
are the sheep; they are fine and fat;
help yourself" We might as we'll re-
peal the health laws while we are
about it.
We have been very busy trying to
save the world-a laudable enterprise,
but a large contract. Let us by all
means try to help our neighbors, but
incidentally let US try to help our
selves. Every paper, every speech is
full of references to our debt to Brit
ain, our debt to France, our debt to
Belgium, until it looks as if we W
everybody and nobody owes us. But
in remembering these m~ultitudinous
debts we need not altogether forget
our debt to America. We can pay it
with a little courage and common
sense.-Saturday Evening Post.

McADOO SEES EN- BUCK.

In a letter received recently by May
or Matt Murray from Bill Miller, for
merly of Glasgow and the son of En-
gineer Frank Miller of this city, the
following interesting clipping was en-
closed. You will note the Bill Miller
spoken of is the writer of the letter:
"Private Citizen" William G. Nc
Adoo, the new legal counsel for the
"big five" film combination of Mary
Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, William S.
Hart, Douglas Fairbanks and David
Wark Griffith, got his first film thrill
at a rodeo staged by Douglas Fair
banks in the Hollywood foothills for
the amusement of himself and wife.
M. McAdoo, who has been living at
Santa Barbara for the past month,
taking what he calls a "rest cure"
motored to the city Monday night,
with his wife and Mrs. Frank P. Cot
ton and Mrs. George FRANKLIN, to be
the guests of Fairbanks at his Bever-
ly Hills residence. They went con
location" with him yesterday, and aft
er the party had observed the coined
ian at work for some time the men,
bers motored across the fields, where
a rodeo vas staged by the Fairbanks
cowboys.
" I've always been quite interested in
Workmanship myself" said the form
err secretary of the treasury. "Both
Mrs. McAdoo and l do considerable
riding"
AS legal counsel for the film COM
pany, Mr.. McAdoo will spend his time
between his Washington law offices,
to which he is to go after two months
more vacation, and Los Angeles, the
film city.
II shall cover every legal detail for
the new organization" he said yester-
day. 81 would have taken the cases
of these artists if for no other reason
than the great services they have en-
dered to the nation in the various lib
erty loan drives. My new work with
them will be to safeguard their inter-
ests in every way, from seeing that
their contracts are properly signed
to upsetting the machinery that i'm
pedes their progress"
Both Mr.. McAdoo and his wife,
daughter of President Wilson,, took
particular delight in congratulating
the rodeo stars on their performance.
Those whose hands he shook included
Bill Miller, George Sowders, Charlie
Miller, Felix Rondo, Art Manning and
Bob Anderson, who not only rode the
Fuckers" but gave an exhibition of
hog-tying steers on the range. Ted
Reed, the scenario editor of the Fair
banks company, acted as master Of
ceremonies, while Mr.. Fairbanks him
self rode his white horse and directed
operations.
In addition to the McAdoo pair and
their party, a group including Mrs.
Henry Ford, her son, Edsel, president
of the Ford motor interests, and the
latter's wife, were in attendance.
"Henry wanted to come," remark
ed Mrs. Ford, "but he had to go out
and see some tractors"
