diers being taken care of by the y.

"said Mr.. Griffin, "but all over the
country the same condition exists
With an average of $4,000 men a
week being discharged from the
army, 80 per cent or $4,000 men must
find new work and of those 20 per
cent, or 10000 men a week are being
placed by the Employment Service
and its cooperating agencies. The
placement figures are based only or
the reports of men known to have
been placed and it is estimated that
at least five per cent more are being

higher per cent of men needing new

JURY FOR SHEER
IDAN COUNTY
Editor Producers News,
Plentywood, Montana.

L leuIy NOOu, mOuldud.
Dear Sir:
| was over at the Divide county
capital city of Crosby, when the leg
islature of that county returned
home and the welcome which the
people gave them on their return
was splendid A delicious banquet
was served and the merchants, law
yers, doctors, bankers and farmers
alike, took off their hats and cheered
the men who had fought through the
trying legislative session in which
every known obstacle was thrown in
to the workings of that assembly to
ruin the workings of the league leg
islature' These Divide county men
fought day and night in both houses
to bring home to their farmer sup
porters the results which they now
have.
Every bill of Importance which any
one was in doubt about was explained
to any critics satisfaction by these
men of Divide county and there are
nearly 1000 bills passed by that
body.
The farmers paper, The Crosby
Review, edited by Dick Dickinson, is
one of the snappiest farm papers in
North Dakota and on asking him if
the bankers and merchants believed
in the farm paper, he replied: "yes,
they do, because in order to get their
goods advertised properly they must
advertise in the paper read by the
farmers"
The opposition to the farmers over
there is drowned completely out now.
They are cleaning their court house
faster than Sheridan county is.
They are glad to learn of Mrs. b.
K. O'Grady's election, and asked If
the bankers, lawyers, merchants, doc
tors and Loyalty League did any
thing to help clean house or did the
farmers who are so disloyal have to
do the job? I told him our farmers
over here have got very little en-
enlargement from these town boys
and that if the farmers hadn't taken
hold of this old county we would
still be good loyal citizens and have
| the same treatment, same officials and
same mortgages on the farm we had
ten years ago.
/ hope we will get that grand jury
working now and see who is to blame
| for that bum counting Of the ballots
| and other bone head plays which have
occurred during the past.
Yours truly,

WHAT PEOPLE RULE MEANS

When the people of Montana get
control of the legislature away from
the Hopper Krowd" it can easily be
seen, what it will mean to the work
ers and producers of the state.
The reason this law is opposed, a
law so just and reasonable, is be-
cause it would have decreased the
possible profits and capital of the
private owners of the corporations.
These people don't own the property;
and they are not concerned about
the school children, although all are
100 per cent Americans and $50 proof
loyal.
