SC0BEY FARMERS r.:
WANT RELIEF
Resolution Passed At Farmers Nor-
partisan: Convention Held in the
City of Scobey, March 18TH 1920.

Whereas, an article in the current
issue Of the Producers News, a farm
ers' paper, published at Plentywood,
referring to the seed grain election,
opened its columns to farmers, to
state their position on the issue.
And Whereas the farmers of the
western portion Of Sheridan County
are desirous Of explaining how the
sed grain money will be handled and
how the application for aid must be
made, and that the movement for a
seed bond election has the united sup
port Of practically all the bankers and
business men of this locality.
And whereas, much criticism was
made Of the handling of the seed
grain fund of 1918,
And whereas, the farmers may be
mislead by reference to the handling
of the 1918 seed grain fund,
And whereas, we feel that sufficient
of the seed grain loans of 1918 will
be paid during the present year to
cancel all the 1913 seed bond in FULL,
And whereas, applications for loans
are made to the Board Of County
Commissioners and approved or dis
approved by the various local farm
bureau committees and not by the
bankers,
And that, although the bankers and
busines men will benefit Indirectly by
the success of said bond election, the
farmers will be the ones directly and
most largely benefited, and unless
seed grain is furnished by the Cour*y
a large number of industrious farm
ers will lose the result of many years
of labor, and the opportunity of try
ing to keep their homes in this Coun-
ty, and th1e the development of Sheri-
dan CounI will be retarded and set
back for S,y years, in case the
farmers n upon the land, are COM
PEELED to lke, which will be the case,
provided the bonds are not voted.
Now, therefore, we the undersigned,
a committee appointed by the farmers
of the Nonpartisan convention held at
Scobey, Montana, March 18th, 1920,
do respectfully ask the voters for a
careful consideration of the issue in
volved upon it's merits.
We wish to point out that this is
not a question of charity. In the
past years millions of dollars have
been contributed to the aid of the un-
fortunate of foreign lands with no
hope or expectation Of any financial
return. Certainly the people OF
Sheridan County, who have been pros
porous can afford to lend to their inn
mediate neighbors, the sum necessary
to furnish seed for them, upon the

FIRST NATIONAL
DIDN'T COLLECT
Cashier Mckee Loses Suit to Colletta
Collateral Note From George
Prochnow-Case Startling and Sen.
sational.

A jury was secured last Frida
and the case of the First Nation,
Bank VS.. George. Prochnow came I
trial, before Judge. Conner in the dis
trict court, after having dragged II
weary way through court term afte
court term for the last three or fo,,
years. The note in Question in4olve'
the sum Of $1,000 and interest and at
In this suit, the, First Nationa
Bank, by its cashier, attempted 4
collect . collateral note given BY
George Prochnow % secure q loa1
some years ago given by Sam Gordon
to the First National Bank and which
principal note Of Mr.. Gordon's was
subsequently paid in some manner
strange and mysterious and which did
not entirely come out at the trial
amongst a quantity Of startling and
|insinuating evidence concerning dia-
monds and Juggling notes and switch
ing mortgages, and then finally Of q
bad dose Of cold feet and the salts
flying Of mortgages, and canceling Of
notes all in such a wl1irl and conf1-
sion as to cause a person to wonder
whether he was hearing a note collec-
ton case in court or reading Dia-
mond Dick novel with dastardly plots
and awful swindles involving some
shell game artists as the star per
formers.
It seems that for some unknown
reason that Mr.: Mckee suddenly
marked paid divers notes and mort
cages held by the First National
Bank, and delivered the same to Mr..
Gordon and then released the mort
cages on the record, this because of
some mysterious, unknown reason,
for the evidence adduced at the trial
indicated that there was no coin of
the realm passed to the First Nation
al Bank when the transaction of
marking the notes paid took place, and
it seems that Banker Mckee was aw-
full anxious to mark the notes paid.
However, as Mr.. Mckee is very
careful banker, it seems that he hated
to lose the money, so he set out to
make George Prochnow, who had CIV
en- the First National Bank a collat-
eral note as security for Mr..
Gordon's note, pay the collateral note
after the principal note had been
marked paid. Of course this was a
very novel procedure, but Mr.. Mckee
hated to lose the money.
Mckee told the jury all about it
claiming that the Prochnow note was
not collateral note but was a prin-
cipal note for money loaned George
Prochnow. The note in question was
marked collateral to the Sam Gol
don Note" however on its margin and
Mr.. Mckee tried for a long time to
explain the whole matter to the jury,
and at times got as red in the face as
a Missouri turkey gobbler and hem
med and hawed and cleared. his
throat and then forgot most every
thing. Finally he was excused from
the witness chair, and he heaved a
sigh of relief as he beat it from the
court house.
Mr.. Alfred T. Vollum was the at
tomey for the First National Bank
and Mr.. Mckee, and Ellery & Babcock
were the attorneys for George Proeh-
now.
When Mr.. Vollum addressed the
jury he called attention to the sad

AL cerrarse la semana ha reinado
mucho menos pesimismo en- el mer-

tambien con los az1cares refinados

en- vender los precios actuales. Tam

prevails in Templore county, Tip
peraly, the scene of the recent muir
der of r. A. Wilson, over what are
reported to be weird manifestations
of healing.
The Thurles correspondent of a
local newspaper sends details of
what he describes as an "eXtraor-
binary miracle" which he says began
and still continues. :,
"About 6 p. m.," he says, all
statues and holy pictures in the
house of Thomas Divan, news
agent. began to bleed. Crowds of
awed people witnessed the strange
manifestation and wonderful stories
are being told.
"a crippled soldier carried to d.
vans on crutches regained the use
of his limbs. He had been three
years in a hospital. A little girl,
victim of consumption, also was
cured"

LACUNA COTTON CROP,
FORECAST A BUMPER
UNITED STATES QUARANTINE
AGAINST IMPORTS FORCES
SALE TO JAPANESE.

TORREON, Mexico.-The acreage
devoted to cotton in the Laguna dis
trict this season is approximately
100000, according to estimates of
planters who have been over much
of the territory. They say the aver
age Weld will be about one bale per
acre. and that the pink boil worm
has done little or no damage.
The labor supply is abundant and
it is expected the crop will be pick
ed rapidly. Whatever surplus there
NAV be after supplying the mills OF
Mexico will be exported to Japan,
it is asserted.
The quarantine of the United
States against Mexican cotton and
cotton seed has caused new for
eign outlet for those products to be
sought.
From an industrial standpoint the
Laguna district is a close second to
the Tampico territory in the mat
ter of development and richness. In
Torreon there are a number of large
manufacturing plants, including
smelter. guayule rubber factories,
soap, cotton seed oil mills and other
plants.

PRICES EXPECTED
TO FALL SLIGHTLY
DEMAND TENDENCY WILL NOT
EMBRACE FOOD. SOME LINES
MAY BE HIGHER.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Retail
prices, in the opinion of the federal
reserve board, will decline slightly
during the coming fall and winter
months and will slump next spring
to still lower levels.
Summarizing recent changes in
prices of various commodities the
board in report last night said
that Saving afforded by manufac-
turers through 1essened cost of ma
terials and increased efficiency of
labor must eventually be reflected
in a downward movement of retail
prices"
Although a general slight slump
in retail prices during the next few
months was forecast, the board was
of the opinion that in some lines
higher prices were probable. Chang
es in the prices of raw materials,
which were reported to have been
sharp during the past few weeks,
will not show their effect, according
to the board, in retail prices until
early next spring.
The board stated that an elm
portant downward tendency in
prices of all commodities except
food had been evidenced through
out the country, the reduction in
prices of raw products having been
especially marked.

CANNIBALS PREFER
THEIR MEAT WHITE
VICTIM THAT PROVIDES FEAST
ALSO SUPPLIES NAME FOR
NEXT BORN IN TRIBE.

LOS ANGELES, Cal-"W Which will
you have, the light meat or the
dark"
Gimme tn light"
In the Occident or the Orient the
reply to the much asked question is
the same, according to William F.
Alder, explorer and lecturer. who
has Just returned from a years visit
to the Kai Kai tribes of cannibals
in New Guinea. He states that the
natives want almost any kind of
meat, but they feel that the lighter
it is the better
In telling of his experiences at a
lecture before the Southern Califor-
mia Academy of Sciences in Los
Angeles, Mr.. Adler described the
methods employed by the man-eat-
ing tribes. He said that as the time
for a feast draws near one tribe
watches another and picks out the
man on whom attention is to be CEN
tered. Then, in the night the can
nibals go to the village and awake
him. The first word he utters upon
awakening is the name the tribe be-
slows upon the next born. After be-
ing awakened he is hit on the head
and the meal is prepared.
Mr.. Adler stated that white meat
is always preferable. A missionary
who preceded him by few weeks
lost his life among the cannibais,
and a Swiss scientist who was max
ing an investigation at about the
time Mr.. Adler went to New Gui-
nea was killed. Only Mr. Adler's ex-
ceptional power over the natives en-
abled him to move about among
them. The explorer made pictures
of men who had never before been
photographed. These he has made
into slides.
