AREN'T THE CHINKs LOONEY?

In China they have funny little
brass coin, with a little hole in the
center of it. And when they go out
to buy loaf of bread, or bun or
postage stamp they have. to carry
about a bushel of these comic coins
to pay the price.
Such money looks looney, doesn't
it?
In America, there are four billions
of dollars worth of gold money-that
is, four thousand millions of dollars
worth of perfectly good gold cash.
Does America use it as capital for
great industrial and commercial
undertakings that will give employ
ment to two or three millions of idle
people, thereby enabling them to
spend an enormous total of wages for
goods, the production of which will
keep many others employed?
No, she does not! She just locks
that four thousand millions of gold
money in great steel vaults and keeps
it there in total idleness.
WHO'S LOONEY NOW?
Is it the one that circulates its
money, however small the value-o1
is it the one that puts its money
under lock and key where it does not
a single person an atom of good?-

If Railroad Strike Continues Grain
Will Have 10 Be Stored On Farm

Montana's wheat harvest, the sec
ond largest in the history of the state,
may be imperiled by the railroad shop
mems strike, according to G. G. Davis
commissioners of agriculture, who yes
terday issued warning urging grow
ers to provide for home storage OF
their crop if it proves necessary.
"A critical situation is in prospect
unless grain growers who have con
siderable volume to market this fall
arrange now for storage on their
farms" said Commissioner Davis.
aIndications are that the second
largest crop in Montana's history will
be threshed. In 1915 elevator storage
was inadequate and railroads did not
move cars out of Montana fast enough
to prevent congestion, inability OF ell
evators to receive wheat and conse-
quent loss to farmers.
This year we have additional COM
plications. Farm labor will be scarce.

McNETT FOUND BUILTY
THIRD DEGREE ASSAULT
Found Guilty Here Last Evening BY
Jury in Justice Court and Fined
$4,000. Case Appealed

An interesting jury trial took place
at Circle last evening before Justice
of the Peace, d. l.. Eastburn, in the
case of State of Montana VS.. Ray B.
McNett of the Hamblin country, the
complaining witness being Dick Fitz-
patrick The Court Room was packed
with spectators.
About three months ago Dick Fitz-
patrick and wife had hired out to
work for Mr.. McNett, and on the 10th
of this month quarrel had developed
between Mr.. McNett and Mrs. Fitz-
patrick which wound up in a fistic
fight between Fitzpatrick and McNett
Ray apparently getting the worst of
it. The Fitzpatrick's were then told to
leave and they went to the Lou Carr
farm Returning on the 18th to get
their personal belongings, another
fight took place between Dick Fitz-
patrick and Ray McNett, which result
ed in Fitzpatrick getting his right jaw
bone broken and otherwise badly
bruised up about the head. This af-
fair was witnessed only by Mrs. Fitz-
patrick and Lon McNett, brother of
Ray, but each told different story
of the affair
Fitzpatrick was brought to Circle
and from here taken to Glendive
where he has been in the hospital un-
til the hearing yesterday.
The story of what lead up to the
first fight is of such a nature as to
not look good in print, but anyhow
after the jury of six men had heard
all the evidence they found Mr.. Nc
Nett guilty and gave him fine OF
$4,000, but no Jail sentence.
Defendant has already appealed the
case to district court
The states side was handled by
County Attorney Homer A. Hoover
and the defendants by Florence w.
Stephens.

Strike Handicap To
Crop Movement
Rail Strike VIII Seriously Delay the
Handling of Bumper Yield, G.
NJ. Man Says

Great Falls, July 22.-According
to Fred Wear, division superintendent
here for the Great Northern, the rail-
way strike situation will be a severe
handicap to the prompt handling of
Montana bumper crops this year.
Ordinarily the Butte division would
have $500 box cars in shape at this
time OF the year for loading grain"
he said. ''These cars would be held in
readiness here or would be in our re-
pair shops being. placed in good order
Now we have none and the farmers
of Montana are going to suffer Our
shops are such that of the need arise,
we could put light repairs on 200 to
300 cars a day. The cars are coming
in here daily for heavy as well as
light repairs, and we can't 90 thing
for them. We have 500 cars out of re-
pair in Great Falls alone.
"The Great Northern is essentially
a grain hauling line, and large part
of this falls on the Butte and Montana
divisions. We are doing all that we
can to meet the situation and il we
are successful in placing men at work
it will be but few days when we are
again giving the service that the fine
crops demand.
1T is especially unfortunate that
this condition should be visited on the
Montana farmeds at this time. We are
going to have bumper crops. Every
thing points that way, and the season
has advanced to the point where this
becomes more and more apparent.
Elevator facilities will not be capable
OF storage of this crop and some of 1t
should be moved at once. Without the
proper facilities, this cannot be done
and the farmers who need the money
and need it badly will suffer"

Railroad service is being cut because
OF the shopmen's strike and even ii
railroad labor difficulties were adjust
ed today the effect already felt on the
motive equipment of the railroads
could scarcely fail to handicap the
roads in moving out the wheat har-
vest.
Everything should be done that
can be done to provide cheap farm
storage for use in case OF emergency.
approximately I,250 cubic feet of
storage space is required for each
thousand bushels of wheat
This precaution must be taken
soon, since the harvest mas started in
the state. If a large proportion Of
farmers neglect home storage, plan
ming to deliver direce from the thresh-
ing machine to the elevators, there is
danger that a serious condition may
speedily arise.

DEMOCRATS HOLD MEETING

Contributed;
Thursday evening, the goth, mum
ber of the Democrats from BroclSway
Vida, Circle and adjacent precincts nc
doubt having the thought of preserv-
ing the Democratic principles, assem-
bled at Anderson Hall in Circle.
1t was friendly, harmonious gather
ing.
Ii would appear from expressions
heard that determination to hold
such a meeting had been decided
up recently, as announced in the col
umns of the Banner last week.
A much larger attendance would no
doubt have been secured if the news
OF the proposed gathering could have
been spread more broadly; however
it would appear from the spirit of
those who did attend that we may ex-
pect future gathering of some appre-
ciable numbers, so soon as the news
goes out thru the County that it is inn
portant to preserve the status of the
Democratic party in McCone County.
Friendly discussion and remarks
from every person attending was a
noticeable feature.
1t was the hope of all that full
ticket could be secured.
The common expression of all was
that the candidacy of no persons
should be promoted at this gathering
but it should be left to the judgment
of the Democratic Voters August 18th
at the Primary Election to select the
Democrat among the aspirants for any
office who may be best suited for the
final race at the general election.
To assist any probable candidate
who may seek to file for the Primar-
les a Central Committee was selected.
John j. Moriarty, Fred F. Engler and
Dick Westrum, all of Circle, were chos
en- as members of the above commit
tee and this committee has an an
nouncement in this issue offering its
services to assist any Democrat who
may seek the honor of a nomination
Ior the Primaries and inviting all
Democrats and those who believe in
Progressive democracy to affiliate
with Democratic efforts.
