NOT LAWYERS BUT
FARMERS NEEDED
MONTANA SENATOR MUST BE
WITH THE FARMERS
ACTION WANTED

If Burton K. Wheeler were elected
would be another lawyer in congress,
which is already eighty per cent law
yers. There is nothing to be said
against Mr. Wheeler because he is a
lawyer But this is farming state.
Carl w. Riddick, Republican nomi-
nee for United States senator, and
opponent of Mr. Wheeler, is farmer
He is direct representative of the
farming class at the present in con-
gress, where he is known as the
farmers friend.
Everybody knows that the one class
of people in the United States whose
industry is fundamental, supporting
the rest of the economic structure,
is farmers, and that among all classes,
the farmers, because of their unor
ganized condition, are at disad-
vantage in dealing with every other
industrial class because the latter is
organized. SO they need the friend
ship in the United States senate of
every man who understands and sym
pathises with their condition. In
this respect, there is no comparison
between Riddick and Wheeler.
Riddick has been working in con-
gress for four years for the interestS
of the farmers, ranchers, stockmen
and their industries. Wheeler has
been practicing law in Butte, and
playing politics. Two years ago he
was with the Nonpartisan League;
this year the big interests have taken
the Democratic party over, and he
is not fighting. them any more. The
Helena Independent and Butte Minor
and Wheeler have apparently made
their peace.
This may be nominous for the
farmers. 1t may mean that Mr..
Wheeler's sympathies have strayed
from them. Right at the moment,
when they are having a struggle to
recover from postwar hard times,
they need every friend, every farmer,
they can elect to congress, and they
need Mr.. Riddick for United States
senator vitally. They can't take the
chances of electing a man who will
serve the big interests. They must
elect one who is for them.
In working for the farmers, Rid
dick is working for the general pros
perity of the State of Montana, for
when the farmers do well, everybody
has employment and money to spend.

WOLF POINT FIRE
RECORD FIVE YEARS
LOSS $45, 95-CARELESS-
NESS CHIEF CAUSE

Wolf Point has been comparatively
fortunate in the matter of disastrous
fires, as a report from the secretary
of the Volunteer Fire Department
covering the past five years shows
1t has not all been a matter of for
tune, as the efficient work of the
local fremen has prevented enormous
losses. With. less efficient freight
ing organization, the report would
show astounding losses. Many citi-
zens are inclined to forget or neglect
the most important and most econom-
support or even think of the fire lad
dies until the dreader siren is heard.
45,395 Loss
For the FIVE year period starting
April IL, 1918, the total loss from
fire in Wolf Point has amounted to
s45,395. This sum is made up of
amounts ranging from $1,000 to
$4,000.
The year 1918 was the banner year
with total loss of only $4,000. In
1919 the losses reached 81 1,065.00-
The following year the memorable
Dan McAllen fire, involving loss of
SAB, 100000, brought the total loss up
to S43,9 900. In 1921 the loss by fire
was reduced to a total of $225.00.
Up to the present time the loss this
year has amounted to only $4,000,
making a total for the five year per-
iod of 45,395.00.
All Avoidable
The secretary's report shows that
in every instance where there has
been a los by fire in Wolf Point, the
cause was some form of carelessness
and the los could have been avoided
by the exercise of judgment and care
Reading down the list of causes
responsible for the S45,395 loss sus-
tanned by the city, we find: Indoor
smoke house; rubbish in basement;
chimney too close to partition; i'm
proper care of oven; drying wood IN
oven; spontaneous combustion, and
sweepings accumulating around kero-
sene tank; buring weeds, this item
appears half a dozen times; and so
on down the list of preventable
causes.
National Fire Prevention Week
closed Saturday, Oct. 7, but that does
not remove the necessity of unceasing
vigilence and care in the matter of
fire hazards. Let each citizen make
it his or her especial duty to follow
the simple, common sense rules of fire
prevention and the loss from this
cause will be reduced to the mini
mum.

EAST END SETIMENT
FAVORS WOLF POINT
POPLAR LOST CONFIDENCE
OF THE PEOPLE

Replying to our article of two
weeks ago in which we accused Pop
lar with being inconsistent in theil
actions regarding expenditures when
ever and wherever the county was
concerned, that great exponent of the
peoples rights, the Roosevelt County
Independent calls us to task
and laps US on the wrist, just like
that, and says-well, they don't say
thing about the issue raised but go
off into a tantrum and publish copy
of letter written by Attorney Wal
ton of this city when he was county
attorney to the county commissioners
advising them as to what constituted
a temporary county seat and their
authority in the matter.
They published the opinion in full,
and we'll written document it was,
but we fail to see where that has
anything to do with the issue raised
by us. And besides we have never
disputed the legality of Mr.. Walton's
Opinion. Where that had anything
to do with past extravagances of the
Poplarized board of county commits
sioners and their methods of hand
ing out plums to their friends, is be-
yond our ken.
We still claim and maintain that
Poplar has broken faith with the peo-
pie in so many instances that 1t will
be hard for them to convince the
voters that they are con the square"
now. This was the sum and substance
of our former article, and until such
time as they are able to convince
the said voters that they are honest
and above board in their actions and
are more sincere and consistant than
in the past, Poplar's hopes look
mighty slim, indeed.
Their past record stands out too
strongly against them.
The only way to judge the future
is by the past. So whit Poplar. Their
past actions will not stand too close
an examination. They go around
over the county ranting about what
they will do, but the average voter
will take this with a grain of salt and
will look into their record and see
that it is all right before taking
them very seriously.-V Valley Trib-
une, Bainville.

EXHIBITS OF POTATOES
And CORN FOR CONTEST

A county wide exhibit of corn.
potatoes and other agricultural pro-
ducts is being assembled for exhibi-
ton at the corn and potato show to
be held at Malta next month.
Each town and community is pre-
pairing an exhibit to be entered in a
county contest. Keen interest is
manifested in the various towns and
Wolf Point farmers should not over
look this splendid opportunity to show
what we are doing in the way of
raising corn and potatoes. There are
no restrictions as to varieties and
competition is open to all Bring in
what you have and Secretary Gordon
of the. Commercial club will do the
rest.

WHEAT RECEIPTS AT
HIGH WATER MARX

Wheat continues to pour into the
local elevators despite the low price.
Thirty-one cars were shipped from
this point during the first three days
of the week and all elevators have
been crowded to capacity. There
has been no great inconvenience to
growers on account of car shortage
thus far but the fear of scarcity of
cars is ever present.
Wolf Point is putting itself on the
map as shipping center and it IS
expected that final figures for the sea-
son will place this city in the lead of
points that have heretofore claimed
to be the largest shippers of wheat.

BILL HART STRICKEN
DELIRIOUS WITH TYPHOID

William S. Hart, motion picture
actor, is reported to be critically III
at his home. Physicians who are at
tending him held consultation late
Saturday night. 1t has been learned
that Hart is suffering from typhoid
fever and complications. Hart be-
came i'll several days ago with what
appeared to be severe cold. His
condition took a turn for the worse
Friday and throughout Saturday was
delirious. His sister, Mary Hart, IS
constantly in attendance at his bed
side.
Hart separated from his wife, Win
fired Westover, several months ago,
at that time making a property set

The worst of it is the expensive
habits you are getting her into. We
dispair of satisfying her in the future
if she remains in your charge. The
items of her upkeep of every sort
are appalling. 1t costs over $4,000
a year to heat and light her apart
ments and supply her with water,
1--WE trust none of the money goes
for any stronger liquid.) Her auto
mobile bills at 25 cents per mile
amount to a staggering total. The
pay and expenses of her attendants
amount, in some cases, to over
$1,000 per month. In doing the
child's shopping we note that you
seldom ask prices and stick close to
the "buy at home" policy. Worst of
all, whenever you need anything, of
course we mean whenever Rosa needs
anything, and the cash till is empty,
you have a free and easy way of
giving OUR note for the cost, on
which we must pay interest. When
ever we hand you few hundred
thousand dollars for the child's run
ming expenses (and she is sure great
little runner) you are timid about
risking much of it in banks not con-
troled by your company. We note
that well over hundred thousand
dollars is in these banks at present,
and hanged if we can see how some
forty thousand of it is to be gotten
out. POSSIBLY this is the forty
thousand you have been worrying
about lately.) After allowing for all
these heavy drains on our pocket
book we still do not see where so
much money has gone. The Incl
dental supplies" she requires and
which it seems unnecessary always
to itemize or swear to, must amount
to enough to keep several families.
We fear she has become addicted to
he treating habit, and perhaps she
smokes gold tipped cigarettes.
But it is not like US to cry over
spilled milk. We are too busy trying
% dry farm out of the soil the money
necessary to pay interest on dear
title Rosa's debts. The only course
We can see out of the dilema is to
make different arrangements for the
uture. AS stated in the beginning
hat IS what we are writing you
bout
You see we have about made up
'ur minds to place Rosa in other
lands You have had a fair chance
o show what you could do for the
hid and while you have done well
he child has not. Rosa's morals.
manners and habits are not such
s appeal to US or such as we can af-
ord. Long before she is reared, edu-
ated, married and divorced we will

Poplar, Montana.
Gentlemen:

We writing you concerning the child, Rosa Welt.
The matter has been our mind long time and it is
only fair to tell you how feel about it. At the time the
child was taken away from the Com
pany you named yourself its guardian and have had
complete charge of the child and it's affairs
Guarding Rosa and her extensive estate appears to have
been the principal part of your business and business has
been good with you.
We regard Rosa as we'll favored child large of her
age and unusually advanced in several ways She should
be able soon rank toward the head of the class
of the brightest children of the Treasure State She has
unusually large income for child of her age which,
if managed with businesslke economy and-we SO that
straightforward accounting be rendered at any time
should put her Easy street and reduce her expenses
to minimum in few years
When you took such fancy to the child entertain
ed high hopes that you would do we'll by her. train her to
good habits look after her health manage her income
wisely and keep her expenses within But we have
been Investigating the records of your guardianship and
alarmed and perpexed at what we find Since all of
to account the matter is of the most vital to
and bound to wonder how obligations are
to be met few years hence We expected it would be
necessary to put few mortgages property until
reached better producing basis, in order to pay the
chds board and keep, but have already been forced
to obgate ourselves to just about the legal limit and the
bills still coming in. We have desire to stint the
child in anything needful to her welfare Jew those
having the Of her to anything below reasonable
compensation But in the of go 80 cent wheat
how much does take to keep child and how much does
it take to keep you?
