believe if the "County-spGtting'
constituents from the various towns
would tell the truth, they would have
to admit that [ treated them fairly
and did not hesitate to work for their
interest whenever I found that thew
did not infringe upon the rights OF
the people as whole.
Lowe, the man they all boosted for,
gave them no support Many of the
boys along the line was sore because
he voted for resolution presented in
the senate providing that no counties
should be created no matter how
neritorious. I do not think that his
previous promises bound him to go
that far. AS long as we had no work
able law for creating new counties by
vote of the people, it is hardly fair
to maintain that the Legislature
should not even give the people
chance.
The Roosevelt bill will pass both
the house and the senate I believe.
The Roosevelt county crowd wanted
me or pretended they wanted me to
be State Representative, but l de-
clined, telling them l knew very we'll
that they did not wan re and furth-

believe they put in John Hoffman of

as County Commissioner in the place
Of A. J. Olson of Froid.
l was asked what I thought of the
lineup Of county officials, and an
swered that I thought it would be q

their land are some wealthy men of
Tacoma who possessed land on the
lake front. They were given an ada:
tlonal compensation for SCENERY .
Another interesting sidelight on tn.
matter is the fact that Stephen Ap-
pleby, cashier of the largest bank IN
Tacoma and one of the principal
leaders in the outrage, has been con
vlcted of fraudulently obtaining from
one of his associates $4,000 worth
OF stock in an amusement concession
at the army camp established.
ORGANIZED FOR PROTEST
The farmers of the region have or
ganlzed as the Roy Protest organiza-
ton and have exhausted all legal
means of getting justice. They have
appealed to the governor. A telegram
OF protest was sent to President Viii
son and the answer came back that
he had turned the matter over to Ser
retary Baker. They then appealed to
the war department and were inform
ed that inasmuch as it was state
affair the department had nothing 10
do with the way the land was taken. I
One of the farmers also brought suit
to determine whether another $4,000 t
acres was necessary, inasmuch as the
35,O0O-acre tract then condemned was
larger than any other cantonment,
but this was denied also.
They have finally appealed to the
Nonpartisan league for assistance.
The bitter truth has been brought
home to them that in an issue of this
kind the common man can get justice
only through organization The fight

who will ask the war de-

COUNTY DIVISION

Plentywood is getting into the
county division fight, sending local
men, viz. c. j. Beiseker, Ex-senator
tishbeck, F. G. Fishbeck and George
w. Bolster, to use their influence
against the bill to create the county
OF Roosevelt out of the south half OF
Sheridan county.
This bill has been reported out of
committee and it seems to have :,
fair chance to be passed by the SEN
ate.
The southern part of the county
seem to be very anxious to have this
county created because of the fact
that they are so far from the county
seat, yet there are many people in
the north half of the county that feel
that this division ought to be de-
layed awhile because of the weakened
financial condition of the county
caused by the drain of the war and
the poor crops of the past two wears.

PREPARE FOR ICE HARVEST
Time to Get Out Saws, longs, Etc,
and Inspect Them Carefully
for Winter Use.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
It's time to make final preparations
for cutting ice. Get out the ice tools,
the saws, tongs and iron bar. Look
them over carefully and see that they
are in tip-top condition. Sharpen the
saws and see that the handles are all
right. Repoint the tongs and bar if
they need it. Clean them up and be
all ready to make the ice sllvers fly
when the ice is thick.
Did you ever try cooperation in ice
harvesting? 1t works like a charm.
Get one or two of your neighbors to
go into such a scheme. One pond or
stream and one set of tools will answer
for all. It's just like a mid-winter pic
mic, for many hands make light
work"
Better make sure, also, that you
have on hand plenty of dry, clean saw
dust or whatever insulating material
you are going to use. Wet sawdust is
poor insulator and wastes ice. How
about it; is everything ready?

a system of personal-credit unions,
especially for the benefit of farmers
whose financial circumstances and
scale of operations make 1t difficult
for them TO secure accommodations
through ordinary channels, is recon-
mended in the annual report of the
secretary of agriculture.
"The men have especially in
mind" says the secretary, "are those
whose operations are on a small scale
and who are not. in most cases, init
mately in touch with banking machin-
cry, who know too little about finan-
cial operations and whose cases usu-
ally do not receive the affirmative at
tention and sympathy of the banker.
Such farmers would be much benefit
ed by a membership in cooperative
credit associations or unions.
"Of course there are still other
farmers whose standards of living and
productive ability are low, who usu-
ally cultivate the loss satisfactory
lands, who might cot be received for
the present into such associations.
This class peculiarly excites interest
, and sympathy, but it is difficult to see
how Immediately any concrete finan-
cial arrangement will reach it. The
great things that can be done for this
element of our farming population are
the things that agricultural agencies
are doing for an classes but must do
for it with peculiar zeal. The ap-
proach TO the solution of its difficulty
is an educational one, involving better
farming, marketing, schools, health ar
rangements and more sympathetic aid
from the merchant and the banker.
