ACTION AGAINST
SHERIDAN BOARD
WAS NOT PROPER

The action against the Sheridan
board of county commissioners which
was filed by County Attorney Gun
Their a short time ago, in which the
board was mandamused to give an ac-
counting of the seed grain fund OF
1918, was dismissed on Wednesday
cf last week. In rendering the deci-
sion, the court said that the proceed
ure was not proper.
The affair was fostered by Red Flag
Taylor, who, it is said, has long sought
to Dust the board of commission
ers. When the seed grain bond issue
was voted on in January, it is claimed
that the farmers were promised an
other election on the matter after
the present board was ousted. Seed
grain is badly needed by a large num-
Der of Sheridan county farmers, and
the assistance which they might have
secured from the county was lost to
them through the Vaccinations of the
radical schemers.
Although the seed grain question
was checked by the state examiner,
the Producers News asked the county
to hire a special accountant to go
over the books. The accountant was
hired and his services dispensed with
shortly after. He continued his work
under a promise from Taylor that he
would be remunerated, but after sev-
eral months of useless checking he
packed up his toothbrush and depart
ed for home. The mandamus pro-
ceedings appeared to have been ini-
tiated to furnish a scare head article
for the nonpartisan organ at Plenty
wood.
George Hurd, assisted by Babcock
e. Ellery of Plentywood, represented
the board.

THE LABOR VOTE" TOO PATRI-
OTTO TO BARTER,

(From the Washington, D. c. Post.)
The proposal to deliver the "labor
vote" en- masse presupposes a willing
ness upon the part of millions of vot-
ers to lay aside their personal prin-
ciples and views, to disregard the in
terests of the nation and to center
their strength upon realizing their in
dividual desires. This is an atrociously
false assumption. 1t credits the toll
ing millions with scant patriotism,
stunted intelligence and with exag-
gerated se~lfishness. 1t contemplates a
readiness upon their part to follow as
sheep the leaders who are to do their
thinking for them. The "labor vote"
of America is not of such stuff. 1t is
intelligent and patriotic and consider
ate. 1t is not for sale, barter or gift.
No politician carries it in his vest
pocket and no boss can drive it hither
or yon. 1t is composed of enlighten-
ed American citizens, entirely compe-
tent to think and reason for them
selves, which they will proceed to do
in this campaign.

GENERAL PERSHING SAYS
LEGION MUST BE CAREFUL

General John J. Pershing's right
hand failed him Saturday at the Greek
theatre on the University of Californ-
ia campus in Berkeley and thousands
of former service men with whom the
general had expressed a desire to
shake hands were cautioned not to
Squeeze"
go easy, boys; don't press too hard.
Don't squeeze, the men were admonish-
ed by Brigadier General Fox Connor,
chief of General Pershing's staff, after
approximately half the men waiting in
line to shake the generals hand had
been gratified.
The reception to the former service
men came at the end of an address by
General Pershing directed to them.
General Pershing reiterated his ad-
vocacy of military training for the
nations youth and recommended con-
tinuance of the reserve officers train
ing camps maintained during the war.

BEWARE TWISTERS. ,

Director R. G.. Cholmeley-Jones of
the bureau of war risk insurance has
announced that misleading and incor-
rect statements relative to the per-
manency of government insurance are
being circulated by individuals appar-
emily engaged in attempted twisting"
of insurance. A specific and typical
report received by the director was to
the effect that some of these indi-
viduals had boarded a naval vessel at
Philadelphia and had told the sailors
that government insurance would not
be good after five years.
Government life insurance for vet
Grams of the great war is a perma-
nent proposition" said Director Chol-
meley-Jones. misleading statements
have been made to the effect that gov
eminent insurance will cease at the
end of five years after the war, or
that it will be turned over to private
companies. Such statements are alb
solutely false and without foundation.
There is, however, a requirement that
the temporary term insurance held
during the war which increases in cost
from year to year, be changed or con-
verified into one of the six permanent
forms of government life insurance
Ordinary life, 20 payment life, 80
payment life, 20 year endowment, 80
year endowment, or endowment at age
of 62) within five years after the
formal declaration of peace by proc.
lamation of the president, if the in,
sured desires to continue to be pro-
tected. This permanent insurance does
not increase in premium cost as the
insured grows older.
Improper conduct by individuals
I have referred to is in direct oppo-
sition to the attitude of the great life
insurance companies, which is embrac.
ed in a statement by the secretary of
one of the large companies, who re-
Gently said:
of course, a life insurance COM

at less than it would cost the govern

because the government bears all ex-
penses of management, etc.. The gov
eminent is Justified in this liberality
in consideration of the fact that these
soldiers and sailors have risked their
lives, or have been willing to risk
their lives, for the benefit of the ma
tion. All this being so, it is obviously
%expedient for soldiers and sailors to
take all the insurance offered by the
government at the low rate charged.

DATA
ON FARM PROFITS
OF CLUB MEMBERS

The following interesting items from
the last issue of the Valley County
Farm Bureau News demonstrate what
can be accomplished by an Industrious
application of good Common sense in
whatever work you are doing. For
some little time, for instance, it has
been an accepted fact that there is
big profit in eggs-if you have them.
Some hens lay more eggs than others,
due principally to the fact that their
working conditions" are not the
same. Plainly, the following farm
bureau members understood what was
necessary and furnished the proper
working conditions:
During the month of December Mrs
Peter P%eterson's 95 hens produced IS
dozen of eggs, SO dozen of these were
sold for $50. During January they
produced SO dozen of eggs and rs
dozen were sold for $48.75.
Mrs. w. H. Moecker gives the fol.
lowing interesting data. In II days
she received from as hens 301a dozer
eggs which she sold for IS cents
dozen, or a total Of $16.77. 1t cost
Mrs. Moecker 48 cents per day to feei
her As hens and for the seventeen
days it cost $8.16. A neat profit o.

figures are taken from Mrs. Moecker'.
account book, and these facts SUR
more than repay Mrs. Moecker for he
trouble. She knows exactly her prof
it's. Mrs. Moecker has pure bre,

Walter Jorgenson of Tampico states
that his 80 hens have paid for thei.
feed and his grocery bill this winter
In January Walter sold 1924 worth o
eggs besides he used a lot at home
We wish Walter had kept an exact &C
count. He feeds the following dali,

It is often said that nothing new car
be said of Abraham Lincoln. On the
contrary he is always new. His life
presents new characteristics, sug'
gests new thoughts as each annivers.
airy of his birth arrives. He was great
not so much because of his intellec-
tual power as because of his mora
power. He vas politically strong be-
cause the people trusted him and be-
lieved in his A~mericanism.
True greatness is modest always. 1t
was so with Lincoln to a marked de-
gree. Never was he an egotist. New
er did he trust to his own human
powers to accomplish great deeds. He
rested securely on a power beyond
human effort-a power which rules
the destiny of men and of nations.
In these crucial times, not only for
America but for all the world, nations
and leaders can learn a lesson from
the life of Lincoln-a lesson never to
be forgotten. He believed that this
nation, and every nation destined to
endure, must be in harmony with the
great forces of righteousness, sane
liberty and constructive freedom-all
working to upbuild the national struc-
ture.
AS a party under Lincoln arose to
save the union from division and de-
struction, so the same party, inspired
by the same lofty spirit, stands on
guard against the perils of Internal
ionalism and the evils of radical So
cialism masquerading as the "new
freedom" or the "new democracy"
Abraham Lincoln stood on the solid
rock of nationalism. Let us now stand
there.

TOUGH TIME FOR
GOPHER PEST IS
BUREAU VERDICT

According to plans of the farm bu-
reau and board of county commission
ers, the Valley county ground squirrel
will have a season of tough shedding
commencing with the first sign of
spring. The gopher determination
project was started this week and the
farm bureau office is already busy
mixing up "coroner cocktails" for the
pest.
This is in line with the recent de-
cision of the commissioners that the
compulsory law is to be strictly en-
forced the coming summer. All ex-
termination activities are to be car
ried on under the direction of the farm
bureau which appoints the local dis
tributors of poison subject to confirm
alton by the board.
The distributors will furnish proper
application blanks for poison which
are presented to the county commits
s%ioners at their regular sessions and
if approved the poison bait is issued.
The law makes necessary the I'M
winding of considerable red tape be-
fore the poison is finally dispensed, SO
it has been suggested that those plan
ming on securing poison from the
county start their applications as soon
as possible.
The farm bureau and the bureau of
biological survey will cooperate dur
ing the campaign to swell the list of
casualties and everyone is being urged
to make an early start in the syste-
matte destruction of the ground squir-
rel.

General P~ershing also addressed a

aliens who persistently refuse to learn
the English language and "refuse to
learn something of the history and
