TOWNLEY'S GREAT GRAFT.

A middle western news agency
which has been investigating the
activities of A. C. Towniey, presi-
dent and sole owner of the nom
partizan league makes the an
nouncement that Mr. Townley now
enjoys this modest CD income:
$1.500,00O from consumers stores,
$1,250.O00 from newspapers.
100000 from the SIS men,
bership fee.
100000 from league exchange,
$1,000,000 from banks,
100000 from Development
Company.
100000 from Sisal Trust Com
pany.
Not a bad income for man
who, few years ago, was jour
neyman plasterer, and who plas-
tered the school at Asotin and did
other plastering jobs in the Inland
Empire when wages were about
half what they are now. but who,
while claiming to be farmer"
and the farmers friend" has Sc
cured strange hold on business
industries that yield him an in
come enjoyed by only few mil
lionaires. Townley stated under
oath, when on the witness stand in
his bankruptcy prOceeO1nps. that
he drew $500 per month salary
from the nonpartizan league and
had $1,000 per month allowed for
expenses with no questions asked as
to how 1t was spent. That was
two years ago and was mere pin
money" to his income now. II the
above figures are correct.-Moscow

Autumn.
The squirrels are in their holes,
AS are the black and shining moles;
And the silver river rolls
Like thread beneath the sun.
All the birds to southland fly,
And the geese are honking by,
And the red sun floating high,
Gazes with his one round eye.
All the day the farmer works,
(He's man that never shirks)
Getting in the corn ana wheat
So winter will find him with plenty
to eat.
And at night he sits beside
The roaring fireplace, long and
wide,
And he thinks. as he sits here,
That autum's the best season of all |
the year.
And at night Jack Frost comes |
creeping,
While everyone else is sleeping,
Paints with airy fingers light,
All the leaves, some color bright.

Some labor unions, Onesthe paint
ers' union in Chicago, have taken
up the I. w. w. fight on the Amer
lean Legion boys. This is placing
such unions in a class of un-Amer-
leans, and marks their members as
udesirables. The American people
will not stand for 1t. The American
people are with the boys who
donned the uniform and served their
country. Now let union labor I'M
derstand most emphatically that it
has started something this time 1T
cannot swallow. For any boycott
of the Legion boys is direct chal-
lenge to the Americanism of this
nation, and union labor will find
that millions of American men and
women will join in a nationwide
boycott on union-made goods that
will spell utter and complete dis
aster to union labor.
Here is direct challange to
every red-blooded American. Here
is Bolshevickism boldly and openly
issuing a challenge to the patriot
ism and loyalty of this nation. Here
is the foul thing openly defying
all that is best and most worthy
in our national life. Here is /. w.
W'ism branding our finest young
manhood as unworthy and undesir-
able, and CONTEMPORARY insulting

Beef calves on pasture should be

Ensilage, if available, is the cheapest

With hay so high that the feed
ing of stock is serious matter for
all farmers, there ought to be no
trouble to interest those having
stock in the proposition Of a silo.
Dan Carr, shortly before his death,
told the writer the silo had doubled
the feeding capacity of his farm.
That was too conservative. The
silo will do more than that.
The average for the corn districts
of the United States is not to ex-
coed seven acres of corn for 100
tons of ensilags. And the farmer
who is feeding hay is getting from
one to two tons from an acre.

prospective match with Georges Car
pentier. Kearns announced late last
night the fight would be forty-five
rounds and would be staged at Tia
Juana, Lower California, under the
auspices of James w. Coffroth. if
Carpetier would agree.
Kearns said Coffroth. we'll known
among Pacific Coast sportsmen and
president of a racing association at
Tia Juana, had offered a 100000
pure for the match, and that it was
the best offer received.
Kearns spoke of division Of the
purse on basis Of 100000 to the
winner and 100000 to the loser, as
thoroughly satisfactory to him, and
stated Coffroth had an agent, Charles
Harvey, in Europe attempting to in
duce Carpenter to sign a contract to
meet Dempsey at Tia Juana.
Kearns said he thought such q
match would draw gate receipts of
S75O,000.
Dempsey has been in light training
for several weeks. He announced
some time ago that he would keep in
such condition all the time and that
two weeks of real training would fit
him for fight.
