farm BUREAU TO help
SECJRE AID FOR FARMERS
ALL coMMu> >*%yEs WILL MEET FRIDAY, JULY
49, FOR PURP. <&, OF FILLING OUT DROUTH
QUESTIONABLE CARDS SHOULD BE
FILLED OUT WHETHER HELP is
NEEDED OR NOT

The farm bureau is at work again
to try and solve the critical situation
the farmers are facing. We have gone
through series Of three drouth years
and each year has added valuable in
formation to our farming experience
and made US much more fit to farm
in this county than any newcomer;
therefore we should stay and not sac
rifice everything, which we do if we
leave the country. We are all con-
vinced that we must have from five
to seven cows, one hundred hens, per-
haps twenty to fifty head of sheep,
and cultivated crops and summerfal-
low and we will be masters of the oc-
casion when drouth year comes.
The following is the result of
meeting of the farm bureau board of
directors and community officers at
Glasgow, Thursday, July 10.
To get relief we must have definite
information and that is what the farm
bureau is going to get through its
community officers and present the
information to the state federation OF
farm bureaus whose duty it will be
to get it before the right people.
Now every community must turn
out farm bureau members and non
members, those needing and those not
needing aid, at your farm bureau COM
munity center on Friday, July 18th
and fill out the drouth survey ques-
tionnaire. Every farm bureau COM
munity will call meeting on that
date in the afternoon for that purpose.
This requires quick action and ev-
erybody to the wheel as all this in
formation must be tabulated by July
21st. If YOU do not need assistance,
go and fill out your card and thus
help your neighbor that much.
Now remember, we are undertaking
a task that calls for united action and
all must respond at once if we are to
accomplish what we are going after.
The date is Friday, July 18th; a
meeting in all farm bureau communi-
ties to fill out the drouth survey card.
We will look for you there.

of the railroads in this district will be

The conditions caused by the ex-

sity of doing something to help allev-
late conditions.

CONGRESS is IMPATIENT
WITH MEXICAN DISORDER

Washington, u. C.-GrOWlng lmpa
tience with the administrators policy
in Mexico and determination to quell
the constant disorder there is mani
festted on the part of members of the
house and senate, and it is likely that
on this question a breach will soon
come between the legislative and ex-
ecutive branches of the government.
Representative Gould of New York,
a republican, has introduced resolu-
tion calling upon the state department
for information as to destruction of
the rights, lives and property Of
American citizens in Mexico. Since
the time President Wilson sent the
navy there to demand the firing of
a salute to our flag and then with
drew it and our marines without any
salute, after killing twenty-six of our
men, and then at the Niagara confer
ence withdrew even the demand for
the salute, the war with Germany has
distracted attention and nothing has
been done with the Mexican problem,
in spite of continued outrages. The
Carranza government was set up in
place of the Huerta regime, but the
results are declared by Gould and 9TH
ers to be exactly the same. 1t is no
safer for Americans to do business
there unmolestted. Seven factions are
contending for power and doing it with
force of arms. There seems to be no
favorable change toward order and
permanent civilization in sight, and it
is daily becoming more apparent that
| it is the intention on the part of those
now in control of congress that the
United States shall sttep in and per-
manently settle the constant disturb
ance.
Enough facts have come to repre-
sentatives and senators to indicate the
need of strong and enlightened hand
like that of America. Less than one
per cent know how to read and write

ELEVEN WOMEN TAKEN
IN HAVRE GAMBLING RAID
Also Eighteen Men and TrucklOad of
Every Kind of Gaming Device
In Sheriff's Haul.

Havre, July Sin carefully PLAN
ned and we'll arranged raid on the
parlor house in the old bullpen near
the Montana concert hall, owned and
operated by "Shorty" Young, Sheriff
Matt McLain and dozen special
deputies, assisted by the county at
torney of Hill county and Assistant
Attorney General Gorud of Helena,
took in II women and 18 men.
Most of the women were taken at
the parlor house and the men were
caught in the act of operating various
kinds of gambling devices. A big
truck was pressed into service and
loaded down with every conceivable
kind of gambling device, including sew
eral boxes of poker chips, the little
green tables and all the paraphernalia
that goes with games of chance It
was hurried to the county Jail and
stored.
The women and men were loaded
into cars and taken to Jail. This oc-
Cured about midnight. The raid was
so we'll arranged that not an inkling
of what was transpiring reached the
men at the games and they were sur
prised when the door was broken down
and the deputies rushed the gang,
none Of whom escaped.
About this morning C. w. Young
and George Cutler appeared on the
scene and the women were released on
bonds of $100 each and the men on
bonds in the amount of $500 each,
Young and Cutler furnishing the
bonds.
The English kitchen, a chop suey
joint operated by Chinese, was raided
at the same time the raid was going
on at the parlor house and men were
found there conducting a gambling
game, and few women spectators
were also taken. County officials
deem this the best raid they have ever
made as it came unannounced and all
were caught with the goods.
In the raid the officers seized a jug
containing eight gallons of whiskey
besides several smaller containers fill
led with the same. Small quantities
of beer were also found at both pla-
ces visited and this, too, was seized.
