BASTIAN ONLY NEW
COUNTY OFFICIAL

We believe there is less change
n the personnel Of the county of
ficers at the court house this week
than any January following an ell
ection since the county was oran-
lied. ID. w. Bastian, the new COM
missioner from the Midland dis
trict, is the only aew officer. The
reular fixed occupants Of the court
house all remain the same.
Some Of the officials had no op-
position, and those who had oppo-
sition either in the primary or at
the general election were success
ful in winning out. Miss Duryea,
county superintendent Of schools,
and Frank Slocum, sheriff, are the
only democrats among the county
official at the present time. The
rest are all republicans. There are
no non-partisan leaguers.

NATIONAL THRIFT WEEK.

The Pioneer-Review has been
asked to Ind a nand in connection
with the observance Of Thrift Week
in Haakon county, and we llcan
to do it. At first glance it would
not seem the best time in the
world to preach thrift IN this re-
gion, but, on further reflection,
we are not sure about that. We
firmly believe that a good many
of our friends are in the pinched
condition financially in which they
find themselves through lack Of
common ordinary thrift. We may
enlarge upon that at another time.
Just now we wish to call atten-
tion to the program for Thrift
Week for the nation, and as it will
be carried out in this county with
the assistance of the newspapers,
ministers, schooi-teachers, and 9TH
er boosters Of the movement.
Teaching the Importance Of liv-
ing withing ones income, and Of
making out family budgcJ, pay
ing bills, insuring against death
and accident, owning ones own
home, making will, sharing WIN
others and devoting a portion of
ones salary toward the plans out
lined for Thrift week.

THESE CRAZY JAZZ TIMES

! Gee asslonally we print some ul
the rhymes of Walt Mason. Whet,
her he be a poet or not, his jingles
are more widely read than those
of any man who has ever lived on
this earth. They cause mirth and
reflection wherever the English
language is read. There is no one
living today who breaches such a
b 'mespun philosophy, and breaches
to such large audience. In Aus
trafia and South Africa, he is al
most as popular as in his home
state of Kansas.
The following selection is nearly
perfect. We doubt if Walt has
ever done anything better:
Strike and the world strikes
" ith you, work and you work al
one; our souls are ablaze with a
bolshevik craze, the widest that
was ever known. Groan and there II
be a chorus, smile and you make
no hit, for we've grown long hair
and we preach despair and show
you daily fit. Spend and the
gang will cheer you, save and
you'll have no friend; for we throw
our bucks to the birds and ducks
and borrow from all who'll lend
Knock and you'll be a winner,
boost and you'll be frost; for the
old sane ways of the prewar days,
are now from the program lost.
Strike and the world strikes with
YOU, work and you work alone; for
we'd rather yell and raise blue hell
than strive for an honest bone.
Kant and you are leader, toll and
you are a nut; twas bitter day
when we pulled away from the
old-time workaday rut. Wait and
there'll be a blow-up, watch and
you'll see slump, and the fads
and crimes of these crazy times
will go to the nations dumps"

WHY THE FARMER COMPLAINS

We commend to the attention
of our readers the following edi
torial appearing in the New Yorf
World of a very recent date un.
der the head line set forth above
| 1t hits off the situation as it ex.
re whole country over the best OF
any comment we have seen re.
Gently:
With hogs bringing only Sic
a hundred weight at the Chicago
Stock Yards, where in July last
year the quotation wa S23 so and
with wheat and flour at less than
one-half the prices commanded be-
fore the decline began, the Amer
lean farmer has a grievance which
he naturally voices.
These sharp reductions in basic
food values ought To he reflected
IN the commodity MAI markets kSeets every
where, but they are not. Most of
the things that the farmer buys
are presented to him at wartime
figures. The price of his products
is cut in half, but if he were to
purchase ham, bacon, lard or bread
made possible by his toll, or cloth
ing and household goods fabricat-
ed by working people whom he
feeds, he would find that readiust-
ment, if visible at all, was pro-
ceeding by very easy stages.
Between the farm and the pri-
mary markets our system of dis
tribution works admirably. 1t is
SO arranged that the grower of cat
tie and hogs and grain never gets
a cent more than his due. But
from primary market to consumer
the toll-takers are many. The eyes
and ears of these people, alert for
so much as rumor of advancing
prices, are commonly closed to de-
clines that are shouted from the
house tops. High costs persist in
nearly all retail lines because war
wages, war extravaganza and war
profits are still the rule.
"The farmer is justified in his
complaints and hould be heard. At !
The other end of the scale is the
more submissive but
equally a victim. The middleman
will not yield wisely yields too
ate"

RURAL CREDIT LOANS
ON THE INCREASE

Though our old friends Barnes
Brothers, Peters Trust Company
PETERS Investment Company, The
Farm Security Company, the Mas.
on City Loan and Trust Company
and the Mitchell Trust Company
have very definitely subsidized and
seem not to be interstd in Haakon
county real estate loans at any
rate of interest, and at time
when it is not possible to get a
dollar out of a bank with anything
less powerful than a stick of dy-
Mantle, the Rural Credits Board
at Pierre is still doing business
right along, and Haakon county
folks are still able to get a humber
OF state loans through. 4 iiiivs,iiv
business is the result.
Under present financial corili-
tions the people Of this state are
turning to the rural credits com
mission for the relief which they
apparently cannot secure from the
financial sources which have been
counted to draw upon.
The result it that for the first
ten days of December alone appli-
cations for loans were filed with
the commission by 357 applicants,
who desired an aggregate of about
s1,6l9,860.
The rush is continuing, the num-
ber of applications UP to the mid
die of the month reaching 500.
The commission has never attem-
pied to advrtise its work, the
growth of the business being one
oS.personal contact between the
first man to take loan in this
fund In any one neighborhood and
his friends. The commission has
approved loans amounting to S9,-
100000 since January 1st, and is
doing everything possible to assist
the farmers of the state in, their
present needs, but is about at the
point where they will have to dis
pose of another block of bonds
before they can continue their pol
icy of loans.
Up to the present they have been
able to get bonds placed at mod
crate rate of interest, and do not
anticipate any great difficulty in
new issue, but on account of
the rush of applications coming
in the commission will unavoid-
ably be delayed in passing upon
the claims presented, and loans
are likely to be delayed longer
than ordinarily.

PRICE OF HENRYFORDS
WILL REMAIN STEADY

There will be no other reduction
IN price on Fords, neither will
there be any change in models, was
the announcement made at re-
cent meeting in Columbus, Ohio.
of Ford dealers at the Columbus
branch. This announcement was
made by a representative from the
Detroit office who went into de-
tail relative to present automobile
conditions.
Some interesting figures were
given by the Detroit representative
that have a bearing on the busi-
ness as result of the recent re-
duction in prices, He informed the
dealers that the Ford Company
lost $50 So on every touring car
M q ID and tilt. rIt.i loss
the roadster was Sd. .36 while on
the sedan the loss was S3l .88. On
the profit side of the ledger were
three models. The plain chassis
shows SLIT, the truck $50. 90 and
the coupe. $50. 90.
The Ford Company have ninety
million dollars worth of material
under contract for 1921 at the old
price and with these conditions,
the above figures show that the
company cannot stand any further
reduction.
1t is almost certain that unless
the company can go into the mar
kets and make additional purchase
at lower prices than the present
contracts cali for, there will be !
an increase in prices after the
first of the year.
The Ford plant at Detroit is one
of fifty automobile manufacturing
concerns which is in operation at
like production at this
time. In the Detroit factory and
all the branches, the company has
over $4,000 employees.

REAL TRAPPER, THIS FELLOW

Dee Billups, of Hot Springs, who
is an expert trapper, one of the
best in the Hills, has already this
season secured the pelts of eighty
coyotes and wolves. He is confining
his operations to the rough coun-
try east of Oelrichs in Fall River
count. Besides the service he is rem
dering to the stock interests of
the southern Hills, Mr.. Billups, is
making a good profit for his work.
The fur value of his catch is worth
several hundreds of dollars and in
addition is the bounty allowed by
law, which has amounted to five
dollars per head the past year.

"VAMPS" WHO
MADE HISTORY
20 by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate)
A NOBLE ENGLISH VAMPIRE.
By JAMES c. YOUNG.

THREE of England's dukes are d.
l. rect descendants of Frances How
ard born in 1893 and one of the few
English women who may be truly
called vampires. Her father was the
earl of Suffolk, and at the age of thir-
teen he married her to the earl of
Essex, year older But she did not
live with him until 1911. though in
the meantime she had become mis-
tress to the earl of Somerset, fayorite
of King James l.
Frances dabblel with soothsayers
and one of these. Mrs. Turner, got
into trouble. She made it known that
Frances had considered poisoning. her
husband, whom she hated. The matter
was hushed up and Frances procured
annulment of her wedding ties. Then
she promptly married the earl of Som.
erset. Sir Thomas OVERLY, the earl's
friend, earned her undying; hatred by
opposing the match. Frances schemed
to have him imprisoned in the tower
of London. Then she set out to poison
him. Sir Thomas was aware of the
plot against his life and took anti
dotes which offset the poisons given
to him In food. SO strong was his
constitution that it seemed he never
would die. But finally the end came,
Then new honors were showered upon
Frances and her husband. Despite
this, retribution was near. A new
favorite arose at court, the ugly
stories of Overhy's end were whispered
everywhere Weston, the keeper who
had been responsible for the death of
OVERLY, was arrested and confessed,
He was hanged, then Sir Geryase Hely-
Wys, lieutenant of the tower, met the
sdme fate. Mrs. Turner, who had
hand in the plot, also Went to the scat
fold, along with the apothecary who
mixed the poisons
The earl of Somerset and Frances
were tried and condemned. 1t seemed
that both were to pay the heaviest
price which the law could exact, but
the power of their families finally won
a pardon for them, and although theil
estates were cOnfiscated, each received
pension and the right to life, When
four of the lesser guilty ones had beeh
executed. They We're forbidden to stay
in London and made to fix their RESI-
denee at a country place. Perhaps this
vas the severest penalty that could
have been inflicted for Frances grew
TO hate the man whom she had love,
with such infatuation, and he saw il
her only the instrument of his dis
grace and Tie tool of fate which ha
led to the murder OF his friend. I'll

tragedy and remorse. SHE died
