WITH THE
WORLD WAR
VETERANS

We the World War Veterans, an
oroanization of class conscious ex-
service men Of the World War, are
irving to perfect our organization
within this state. In consideration
Of the fact that IS per cent of our
members are workers and union
men, and that our organization is
ighting the battle of organized labor,
also that so far the only money we
have had for organization has come
from the pockets of our members, we
wish to make an appeal to organized
labor at this time to help us build
no an organization and a defense
fund. We realize fully that at pres
nt time labor has not the surplus
money that they had a short time
ago, but we still believe that the
spirit is there and with a little help
Iii will come back in a short time
more forecful than ever. However,
We feel that once organized labor un-
derstands our policy and our program
they will be behind us to the limit.
A few extracts from our platform
will show you that we are taking the
right stand.
Slogan: The enforcement of the
Constitution of the United States Of
America as it is written, and in the
Esprit Of its founders;
We tolerate no interference, Off
eial or unofficial, with any right Sc

denim as cowardly, unmanly and un-

officers Of the American Legion in
noobing, tarring and heaping other
ndgnities on representatives of
farmers organizations in Kansas, and
We condemn similar activities on the
part Of other self-styled patriots else

we condemn them for permitting

in going to Bea.' Creek during the
coal strike of year ago, also other
instances with which you are famili-

our state headquarters were located
in Billings and we can assure you
that if any otner attempt al 1 such
tactics is undertaken, that the World
War Veterans vii! also be on the
job with another purpose than herd
ing scabs.
In conclusion we wish again to APP
zeal to you for any assistance that
you can give us, if you cannot assist
Us financially, give us your moral
assistance by urging all members OF
organized labor who are ex service
men to join us in cur fght-cthers to
join our Auxiliary, which is open to
any American who believes in our
slogan.

Washington, D. Revive the
Government Grain Corporation to pool
the wheat production of the country,
stabilize the price and give the farm
ers cost of production" is the advice
which A. c. Townley, President of the
Nonpartisan League has given to
President Harding and Congress from
the jail at Jackson, Minnesota.
President Townley points out that
revival of the grain corporation would
not differ in principle from the reviv-
al Of the war finance corporation to
aid the railroads and to enable the
banks to get out from under frozen
loans.
He correctly points out in the terri
BILE conditions facing the farmers and
the nation as result of their distress
that up to date those in authority have
lieving this distress.
But since Mr.. Townleys plan was
formulated the Administration under
the compelling demand that something
be done has advised corn strike Tor
next year through many advertising
mediums known as farm papers"
The corn strike is the least dan
gerous remedy which they could pro-
pose. Corn farmers by reason Of
bankruptcy and poor credit will nat.
urally have to cut their acreage some
what, or there may be part failure
Of the crop and the politicians viii
take credit for any increase in the
price.
Objections te! Corn Strike.
But taking their own estimates OF
the reduction possible we find that the
resulting probable increase In price
would not give the corn growers the
cost Of productisn.
Another great objection to the Ad-
ministration plan is that the chief
trouble Is bad marketing and disloca'
ton Of our market for farm products
in Europe due to imperialism since
the war. The trouble with the corn
| market is the hog market. The Ad.
ministration plan does not interfere
with these great causes but rather ap-
plies to farming the big business meth.
| cd Of Withholding production when
the world, is already short OF foods.
A further shortage Of feed will result
| in great hardship among our own peo'
pie as we'll as these abroad. Presi-
dent Townley's plan, on the other
hand, would encourage present produc.
ton which the world needs and while
by giving cost Of production to the
farmers would place these productions
In the hands of the consumers at
present cost or lower.
The Nonpartisan League plan IN
wolves elimination Of all grain gam
blers because the grain corporations
can sell directly to millers and other
actual users: it would set fair mar
gin for doing business for the miller;
It would devote our idle ships to re-
ducing the cost Of getting our grain
products to the world market, and the
government would be able by It's 9th
er powers to influence freight rates
and interest cost of financing the
grain shipments.
| Mr.. Townley holds that wheat is the
essential food Of civilization and tina
| a wheat famine due to two years o
production below cost should b
avoided in the interests Of the whole
nation

CONGRESS QUITS.


The end of the extraordinary ses-
sion of congress, which President
Harding called eight months ago, on
November %, will leave the regular
session beginning Dec. 5, a number Of
important measures whose prompt
enactment the president repeatedly
but vainly urged.
They include ~ the foreign debt
refunding bill; ~ the railroad debt
refunding bill, and (3) the permanent
tariff BILL
Final disposition of the Ford-New-
berry election contest will also go over
until the regular session probably I'M
til January.
Under an unanimous consent agree
ments, the senate met at 10 o'cock on
the 18th to conclude find consideration
OF the much disputed revenue bill.
During the extra session, 136 oils
and resolutions have been considered
by both houses and enacted into law.
Army Limitation Halts.
Limitation of land ornaments is
not likely to fare so well as limitation
Of naval ornaments.
France appears to be the center OF
resistance in any considerable cut in
land forces. The argument runs about
| as follows:
France is menaced by Germany and
does not dare reduce its forces below
| the 100000 now under arms. Beyond
the alleged German menace lies Rus
STA under a control hostile to French
/ interest
| France will reduce her land forces
| If England and America will guarantee
| her protection. Hence it is not diff
| cult to see how the representatives OF
America and Great Britain can use
the alleged plight of France to keeI
up their own land forces at the pres
| ent status, if in truth they do not inc
reason for increasing them.

a few drops of castor oil over the parts
infested. The castor oil treatment can
be best applied as follows: "Buy a
small bottle of caster oil and a medi-
cine dropper. Either tape the glass
dropper, or tie a small strip of cloth
around it, so it will fit the mouth OF
the bottle. When you catch chick

castor oil over the fleas and rub it
around with the end Of the dropper.
One application will kill fleas."

To Control Poultry Pests.

Mites breed principally in cracks
crevices, dust and trash, nests, roost'
ing places and other congregatlne
places of the chickens. The first STEP
in control should be to clean such
places and burn all refuse, after which
they should be sprayed with any OF
the following solutions:
First, lime-suphur wash, one gallon;
water, 8 gallons.
Second, creolin, 5 teaspoontuls;
water, one gallan.
Third, kerosene, one part; crude
petroleum, 4 parts.
The roosts, nests and other places
of congregation may Else be painted
with the following unite paint" TO
control mites: kerosene, 1 gallon;
crude carbolic acid, creolin or coal
tar one pint.
Be sure to see that all chickens are
removed from the places to be treated
before any of the measures given
above is started.
Fleas are sometimes found on the
heads of chickens, often causing the
chicks to die quickly. This pest
breeds in the same places as the mites
and the same cleanup measures
should be practiced. When fleas are
found on the chicks, grease the heads
with an ointment of one part of kero-
