Farmers in Need
of Harvest Hands
A T T E n II O N

Mr.. Tucker of the Federal Labor
Office of Fargo, N. D., cooperating
with the Montana State College has
made arrangements to establish a la
Dor office at Bainville.
The available help for Eastern Mon
tana will be distributed from that
Office, and every effort will be made
to get sufficient help. North and South
Dakota and Montana will need con-
siderable help to take care of the
crop, and are employing all available
help now. The Dakotas have fixed a
price of from $500 to $3.50 per day
and it is not likely that We in Sheri-
dan county will be able to get help
for less, unless it be local.
Anyone who is in need of help
please notify Carl B. Peterson of Plen-
tyWood, Montana, stating number of
men wanted, length Of time wanted
whether for general farm work or
harvest, and wages paid.
Mr. Peterson will file the wants
with the office at Bainville and will be
in touch with what help is available
from that point.
Do not hesitate to make your wants
known as there is no doubt but what
additional help will be needed in this
county.
The cooperation of the different
commercial clubs and farm clubs
throughout the county will be greatly
appreciated. i

First Annual Corn and
Spuds Show at Malta

At a meeting of county agents of
northern Montana and representatives
of the State College held at Fort AS
siniboine recently, Malta was chosen
for the first annual northern Montana
cor and potato show to be held dur
ing the month of November, the week
prior to the State Corn Show at Miles
City. The counties of Hill, Blaine,
Phillips, Valley and Roosevelt have
definitely agreed to finance corn and
potato show, these being the only
counties represented at the meeting,
but other counties will doubtless come
in as the matter was left open so
that any portion of northern Mon
tana may exhibit. Details for the
show are now in course Of prepara-
ton and will be announced later.
Northern Montana has taken rapid
strides to the front as corn and po-
tato section during the last few
years and the chief purpose OF this
show will be to provide an education
al means for stimulating interest IN
these crops. Exhibits will be limited
to standard varieties of corn, spuds
and small grain as adopted by the
dl116ronC county IdIIH Dui Ce@cao IL @oAAS
northern part of the state. Arrange
ments are being made to make this
one of the largest shows OF its KIND IN
the state and every county on the
high line has guaranteed definite
number of exhibits together with
funds with which to finance the show.
The Great Northern Railway will be
asked to cooperate.
The increased acreage of corn and
the growing interest in feed crops in
Sheridan and Daniels counties will no
doubt result in many exhibits being
entered from this section. With any
thing like favorable weather between
now and harvest the fine fields OF
corn should produce excellent snow
material. This part of the state is
we'll known as a district of more
than ordinary merit and should ac-
Quit itself creditably at the Malta
show.

Commissioners Paw
Joe's Claims In Full
Just as the Producers News ForetoId.
Dolin Collects Fraudulent Claims
Just As He Has Always Done-Lit-
tie Joker Lets Joe Out.

Just at the Producers News has
said at all times, the contract that Do
lin signed with the county is a fake
pure and simple. The claims which
Joe filed under his new contract were
just as high he he billed the county
for under his old contract. The Board
Of County Commissioners allowed the
claims filed last week, as reported by
this paper, in full, paying Dolin twice
as much for his work as his contract
allows. The clerk & recorder called
the attention of the Board to the ov-
ercharge, but they did not pay tny
attention but paid the claims; paying
out over two hundred fifty dollars of
the taxpayers money Illegally. True
Dolin accepted a S25 cut on the list
of electors printed on manila botrd
rather than fight as he told the board
the entire claim for manila pos
ters was illegal.
The fact is that the Board of
County Commissioners all of the
time knew that Dolin's printing bic
was a fake and they intended it to
be such. They did not want to take
the contract away from Dolin. They
thought that the Producers News
would cease publication if it did moi
get the contract and that was what
they wanted.
When the tax notices come next fal
and the taxpayer is knocked stiff, just
figure out. the number of the bushels
of your wheat which the county com.
nissioners have donated to Joe Do
lin: just figure out how much they
have given to Surveyor Link: JUS
compute how much they have give1
to the doctors and to the hospital
just figure out the number of bushel:
of your wheat they have fritted ava!

towns, and then you will know VIII.

Buyers Lnuade Montana .
But Farmers Stand Pat

Seattle, July 29.-News has reach
ed headquarters of the Northwest
Wheat Growers Associated from Mon
tana that the commission men, as
they are called, the Russell Miller
company and three or four of the 9th
er big buyers are working Montana
to influence elevator men and stock
holders in farmers elevators against
the pool.
A short time ago the Occident peo-
pie brought pressure to bear on the
merchants of Plentywood in order to
break the independent flour mill
there. They even went so far as to
erect big warehouse at that place.
But the Plentywood houses stood pat
and the mill is keeping on top.
Last year the Russell Miller COM
pany informed the Montana Wheat
Growers that it would not interfere
as long as the organization stayed out
of eastern Montana, where the best
wheat was grown. The pool didn't
stay out and at this writing has more
than three quarters of the farmers
crops pledged to the pool. And the
fight is on. One manager for a
farmers elevator made note OF a COM
mission mans warnings against the
pool and investigated his story thor
oughly. Another surprise is in store
for the Commission man."
The elevator manager has letters
from practically every source which
the commission man recommended as
against the pool. Every letter favors
the pool. The Producer may have
some comment to make editorially
next week.-From the Producer, off
cial organ Northwest Wheat Growers
Association.

Editor, Producers News,

Dear Sir:
In your paper for July 2Sth, ap-
pears the statement that Niels Chris
tensen of Dagmar may file on the re-
publican ticket for Public Administra-
tor. Allow me to state that you have
not the slightest ground for such
statement! If I had any political as
piration whatsoever q have none),
would file as candidate for State Sen
ator on the Democratic ticket, for
the reason that I consider it very un-
fortunate should Sheridan county be
represented at Helena with either a
banker, lawyer, business or newspa-
per man. To my mind Sheridan
county is one vast farming country
with great possibilities and should be-
long to the homestead farmer, who
made farming a success, and Sheri-
dan county a possibility, and only a
successful farmer can fully represent
Sheridan county at our state capital.
Yours truly, NIELS CHRISTENSEN.

lie at all times and the readers of
the Producers News are going to
know what the Commissioners are do
ing at all times, even if the commits
sioners are ashamed of their own acts,
for which we can't blame them in the
least, they ought to be ashamed, but
when these poor simps think they
can suppress the records, then the
Producers News is going to show
them that they can not.
No other Board of County Com
missioners in the world outside of
the Sheridan county board would try
to pull thing of this kind-it was
never heard of before.
1t has been known for some time
that the members of the Board were
peeved at the Producers News for
printing the minutes: that was one
of the reasons why it did not get the
county printing. The county COM
missioners find that it is embarrass-
ing to pull some of the things they
would like to pull when the minutes
of the board are published each week.

Unanimously Pass Resolutions Insrucng the Clerk and Re-
corder Not to Allow the Publication of the Minutes OF the
Board of County Commissioners Until They Read
and Approved


The Board of County Commission
ers took desperate steps at their
meeting Monday and passed reso-
luton instructing Clerk & Recorder
OGrady not to give out copies of
the minutes of the Board of County
Commissioners until the said min
utes are read and approved by the
Board and signed by the chairman
on the grounds that the minutes were
not official until they have been so
read and approved. The motion was
made by Jud Matkins and seconded
by Jens Ibsen and unanimously
passed.
Of course the Board of County
Commissioners have no such power
and the Producers News takes this
occasion to tell them so, and that pa
per does not intend to pay any atten-
ton to them, and even if we have to
copy them off from the Journal as
was done this week the minutes will
be published just as. they occur. The
