EUROPEAN RELIEF
COMMITTEE NAMED

c. w. McCullagh has been appointed
to head a Hood River county organiza.
tion for raising funds for European
relief. A meeting was held Monday
evening at the Commercial club to out
line plans for the relief drive.
"$l0 will buy the life of child until
next harvest"
Let America entertain at Christmas
dinner as many children of Europe as
they can afford as their little invisible
guests.
These appeals from Herbert Hoover.
chairman of the European Relief Coun-
ell, premise Oregon's initial appeal for
$3.50, 900 to be raised between Deem
ber 10 and 25, as part of a nationwide
effort to save the lives Of 3, 500, 600 of
Europe's baby war victims.
Enlisted in the emergency organiza-
tion recruited under the impetus of the
powerful appeal within a week of Rob
ert f. Smith, state director, and his
assistants, are Liberty Loan, Red
Cross, Knights of Columbus, Jewish
Relief Association, Y. M. C. A., Y. w.
c. A. and many other workers. APP
peals from the head of each organiza-
tion addressed to the people of the
state read as follows:
L. Allen Lewis, Red Cross: "In the
gradual appearance of reality now rap
idly increasing after all these unreal
years | am looking forward to seeing
illustrated in the completer
response to this appeal at this time for
the helpless children abroad. Surely a
feeling of obligation will arise and real
viii now take the place of
eXtravagant donation which undobut-
edly has disappeared. When such an
exponent of common sense altruism as
Mr.. Hoover has been at all times. both
in word and deed, comes forward now
with this appeal, there can be no doubt |
out that there is need of the request |
and an obligation for all of us to re-
spond.

FINS, FURS AND FEATHERS


East Side orchardists in motoring to
and from town the past week have no
ticed the activity of a colony of beavers
almost in the city limits. The beavers
have felled large fir tree and are now
engaged in cutting it into short links.
Their plans apparently call for the
construction of a dam across Hood
river.
Beavers have been found working
continuously on the upper reaches of
the river, but none have been reported
so close to the city for a number of
years.

To the Farmer:

You cannot sell your crops unless men are working
Men cannot work unless you buy the things they
produce.
If YOU buy clothing Shoes underwear hats, stockings
farm implements, and household articles, you give en-
poyment to factory workers who produce these things
railroad workers who transport hem clerks and stock
keepers in wholesale and retail stores, miners who
supply the coal 10 run the plants and railroads, and
countless Others all users of farm products.
They cannot eat bread made of your wheat wear
clothing made Of your cotton, cannot consume your
cOm oats, vegetables fruit etc, unless they are
working
They cannot work unless you keep on buying
you sop buying-business stops-your business and
their business
You can't sell crops to the 'breadline man.
This the greatest country earth and will continue to do
busnessbu-you give bad bump unless you keep buy
ing the things you need
Perfectly safe that prices are down.

LODGE WILL PRESIDE.

News dispatches from Washington say
that Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,, is
TO be temporary chairman Of the repub-
lican national convention at Chicago and
will deliver the key note speech, accord
ing to republican leaders in congress
who have conferred recently with Chair
man Hays of the republican national
committee. Republicans in congress are
said to have been virtually unanimous
in urging the selection of Senator Lodge
by the committee on arrangements. No
contest over the chairmanship is antici-
pated, although some friends of Senator
Hiram w. Johnson have been urging
substitution of Senator Borah, Of Idaho.
and reports have reached here that for
mer Senator Beverage, OF Indiana, also
aspired to the chairmanship Republi-
can platform pronouncements will be
considered on May 23rd by the general
platform committee appointed by Chair
man Hays. Many questionnaires on
paramount issues have been turned in
by the platform committee and others.
At the conference it is expected to out
line some of the general principles at
least to be recommended to the Chicago
committee on resolutions. Although
May 23rd has been set for meeting Of
the republican national committee at
Chicago TO take up the contests for dele
gates from a number of states.

Y. M. C. A. CAMP
Custer Has Chance of Landing Location
for Boys Camp to Come to the
Hills This Summer.

Last Tuesday Mr.. r. c. Keagy, State
Secretary Of the Y. NJ. c. A, made a
visit to Custer for the purpose of visit
ing the Commercial Club and the Busi.
ness Men with a view to find the inter
est and sentiment concerning the Pro-
posed Boys Camp which is to be located
in the Hills this coming season The
State is too large to permit a Central
Camp, so it has been decided to locate
the Eastern Camp at Lake Madison and
one in the Hills. This Camp will plan
for $50 boys and will plan for taking
care Of the different classes of boys such
AS Scouts, vacation days for the boys
employed and for the High School boys.
Camp will be under a Secretary and
strict discipline will be maintained.
Lectures and talks from prominent men
in the Hills will be features and games
and contests will take care Of the recrea-
tiona part of the outing
When Mr. Keagy reached Custer he
found an old friend in the Rev Mr..
and together they rounded up
the business men and a meeting was
held at the First National Bank where
Mr.. keagy introduced the subject and
outlined the plans for the Camp. 1t will
be expected that each Of the Hills towns
will furnish financial quota as it is not
desired that the boys shall furnish and
pay the entire cost of the outing. Mr.
Keagy found a live bunch Of boosters
and in q few minutes he was assured OF
Custer's share, and also an invitation to
locate the Camp at Sylvan Lake, and the
and hearty cooperation Of the
Commercial Club and the citizens ofthe
town. TO have a Camp of this size
come to the community is an asset that
cannot be estimated in the moral as vel
as the advertising features for our town.
Custer is well located as the centre OF
The six western counties and accessible
for those further east, and as for the
reason for locating a camp it is obvious
10 all acquainted with Custer that for
scenery, historical and traditional value
Custer has features that stand "Mile
High 1t is hoped that the Camp will
De located near our city and all boosters
will act accordingly.

FOR EX-sERVICE MEN

Word has been received by the local
American Legion officers that the fed
eral board for vocational training of
Government has opened an Office in
Deadwood, in charge of David Heffron.
All men in this district will be handled
through the Deadwood office.
This board was organized for the pur.
pose of aiding the ex-service men who
suffered injury during his service. Any
man who is eligible for this training is
given a course of study at some recog
nized college or university and, in addi
ton to this is paid salary while at
tending school. Many men left the SER
vice with injuries which prevent them
from returning to their former employ
ment or other gainful employment.
These men are entitled to benefits ofthis
training, and the board is bending every
effort to see that they get it.
Any ex-service man in this county
who feels he is entitled to this training
should take the matter up at once with
the Deadwood office.

FOXY GRANDPA ESCAPES TO
OREGON WITH THE COIN

The Rapid City Daily Journal in its
issue of May 10th says; There is an in.
teresting case on at the United States
Land Office at the present time. On
March 10, 1910, John p burst filed a
homestead entry on a quarter section OF
land on French creek, close to the CITY
of Custer. lie had already occupied the
land as a squatter some twenty odd years
at the time he made his entry. Home.
steads must be proved up at the expira-
ton of seven years. burst for some
reason did not do this 1t was not be-
cause Of ignorance for he is a wise old
bird about laws, never having been en-.
tirely out Of lawsuits during the thirty
years Of his residence in Custer. He
made deal with land man from
Nebraska whereby he relinquished his
claim for the sum of $1,000 and VIM. p.
Gould filed a homestead, August 3, 1919.
The land man, j. f. Swain, was paid
500 by burst for finding him a buyer.
The buildings were not much good in
'S9 and are about the same yet so the
50 900 paid by Gould is about all the
land is worth
burst is man Of over 50 years old
lie got the money and went to Oregon
to live with his daughter. As soon as
the sons realized what had happened
they got one of the boys appointed guar
dian for the old man. Then affidavit
was made by the sons that their father
was crazy-in his dotage-not compe.
tent to look after and conserve his
property hich should be conserved aad
saved up against the day Of old age
which might come to burst at some
time and find him with all his resources
dlssipated. In fact the affidavit as TO
the feebleuinded and insane conditions
IN The burst family is quite convincing
TO the reader Of some ol the documents
of the case on file. But the reader OF
those documents is more apt to come to
think that the insanity is mostly dis
played 10y the sOns-that the old gentle
man did one Of the sanest acts of his life
when he got away to live with his daugh-
ter-and took the money along, or rath-
er the check book. Action has been
brought by the sons and heirs to contest
the entry of Gould on the ground that
Gould and Swain overpowered the eld-
er burst and took advantage of the
weakmnded condition of the old mans
mind.
The solicitude of the boys for their
fathers welfare is commendable. Gould
is a man Of family consisting Of a wife
and four children. He has been to
Rapid City several times to defend his
IS, 600 Investment and is coming again
on the oath for the next round. 1t is
costing him 5000 to defend his claim
and good deal of time. 1t seems to
be much harder for the bursts to get
through to Rapid City than it is for the
Gould's.

FEDERAL RESERVE

BOOSTS PRICES.
Washington, May 10" Enormous in
creases n the cost of necessities through
the financing of the Federal Reserve
have netted millions to the worst form
Of profteers," Representative Edward
j. King, of Illinois, declared recently
The charge was made before the Rules
Committee of the House in support of q
resolution for a Congressional investiga
ton Of the activities Of the Federal Re-
serve Board.
"Ihe sugar shortage is due almost
entirely to the financing of the hoarders
by the Federal Reserve" continued
Representative King. "The Bureau Of
Markets today informs me that on April
23rd there were l27947 tons of raw
sugar stocks in New York, Boston and
Philadelphia, compared with llO,99l
tons year ago. But with the aid OF our
Government, working through the Fed
eral Reserve, these hoarders of sugar
are enabled to keep it off the market
Withdraw your credit and these stocks
will come tumbling on the market in
adequate quantities and at reasonable
prices. These sugar stocks are being re-
leased in just sufficient amounts to main
tain the shortage and keep the price
soaring
although wool garments are at pro-
hibitive figures, the supply of wool in
March was 4S7, l07, 900 pounds compared
with AIS, ,697, 900 pounds year ago As
long as the Federal Reserve will loan
unlimited amounts of money to the
holders of this wool, the wool will be
allowed to filter on the market only in
sufficient quantities to maintain the
being boarded in New York. We may
soon expect to have Federal Reserve
Bank notes issued against this silk.
''In New York City alone there is held
at present 70,4l5,0 900 pounds of unsold
condensed and eyaporated milk compar-
ed with S,06l 900 pounds year ago
Financing is enabling the holders to
keep the milk off the market and the
price up although total stocks in the
United States are 250 per cent in excess
of those year ago.
"If prices dropped suddenly the Fed
eral Reserve would be hard hit and
Governor Harding knows it. But if the
issuance of Federal Reserve money ia
continued, there will be an awful day of
reck koning and that is what my resolu-
ton would avoid. We must stop financ-
ing spectators and hoarders Reserve
agents have urged bankers to extend
credit in unconscionabe amounts, assur-
ing the bankers that every demand for
more money will be filed by them.
Bankers have in some instances, | re-
gret to learn, loaned money to specula-
tors with the understanding that they
were to have half the profits for financ-
| ing the deal. The volume of credit has
increased with only the sky as the
| limit.

tional banks purchased Government GER

clear one per cent and more on the
money which had been loaned only in

Small state banks are accused of be-
ing unpatriotic in not taking these GER
tificates of Indebtedness which they
would have to retain. Federal Reserve
banks will not accept the notes of farm
ers and hence the small bank has its
hands full taxing care of its own GUS
