WALSH VERSUS RIDDICK

1t is rather surprising to read the
speeches made by Senator Walsh, at
tacking the working record in con-
gress of Congressman Riddick in view
of Walsh's own record. Riddick's work
in congress, as compared with Senator
Walsh's, is the record of hustling,
bustling, practical man, who has ac-
complished many valuable things for
the state of Montana, while that of
Walsh is the record of man who for
got all about his own state, while he
wandered around in the reflected glo-
ry of Woodrow Wilson, and posed as
an international lawyer.
The work done for Montana by Rid
dick is attested by Montanans all over
the state. During the four years he
has been in congress he has not over
looked one substantial interest of
Montana people, and in national legis-
lation he has a record for being on
the job. After Walsh's election to the
senate he apparently ceased to find
his state of must interest and became
absorbed in national and international
politics, not of the practical kind, but
Of the visionary order.
If Wheeler, another lawyer. is to
follow in the footsteps Of Walsh, he
might as we'll be elected. With Rid
dick in the senate, the state will have
man there who will be alive to it's
affairs all the time; and who will
miss no chance to advance the well
fare of Montana people and the ma
ton. If Wheeler is to emulate Walsh
then he will be found-in case he is
elected-splitting hairs over interna-
tional questions Of academic interest
and talking about the league of ma
tions.
Walsh might just as we'll have been
embalmed or ossified during the past
several years, as far as service in the
senate is concerned. In boosting an
other lawyer from Butte for the same
kind of job, he promises no service
to the farmers, working people, mer-
chants, business men and others in
Montana. But with the election of
Riddick as senator, which is beginning
to seem assured, the state is in no
danger of adding another internation-
alist with head in the clouds to the
senatorial delegation, but will elevate
man to the senate who will be a
hard worker for the state and nation
all the time, and will produce practi-
cal results and great benefits for the
people.

CALL OFF THE DOGS

The Democratic campaign on Con-
gressman Riddick has taken most
contemptible turn and is certain to
react in the congressman's favor.
The policy of belittling and ridi-
culing Mr.. Riddick has been advanced
to the point where he is charged with
being a mere adventurer, along with
an intimation that he never was a
farmer in Montana, nor taxpayer.
Mr.. Riddick's life in Montana has
been an open book and the facts in
his own neighborhood are we'll known.
Unfortunately, as the campaign ap-
proaches an end, it may be that the
lying Democratic propaganda will
be spread into quarters where denial
may come too late.
Mr.. Riddick came to Fergus county
with his family about IL years ago.
His means were quite limited and he
settled upon some land in that county
near Christina. He endured the trials
of a pioneer farmer until 1918 when
he acquired an equity in farm on
which was seeded more than 1,400
acres of wheat. At harvesting time
came a great hailstorm that des-
troyed the crop. The following year
Mr.. Riddick borrowed enough money
to seed this big tract and then came
season of drouth that wrecked the
hopes of thousands of Montana far
mers. Finally Mr.. Riddick was forced
to return this land to the original
owner. At present he has an equity
in 32O acres of land in Fergus county.
No dry land farmer of Montana
has suffered more bitter trials than
Carl Riddick. That is why he has such
a deep sympathy with the farmers of
this state who have struggled so des-
perately against: i'll fortune. Mr.. Rid
dick is a patriotic Montanan of the
finest quality. If dirt farmer is
one who has worked with his hands
in the fields from daylight to dark
ness, then certainly Mr.. Riddick quail
flies for this classification.
The effort to make Congressman
Riddick appear in the light Of po-
litical adventurer is rather despicable
we think. 1t is not probable that men
like former Governor Goodrich of In
diana, familiar with the life of Carl
Riddick from boyhood, would come to
Montana to campaign this state for a
political charlatan. Mr.. Riddick's rec
ord in Indiana and Montana and in
congress is proof of his high character
and his equipment for senatorial du-
ties and we haven't the slightest
doubt that he will be elected by a ma
jority that will be record d-breaking in
senatorial contests in this state.

ABOUT COUNTY PRINTING

Consistent with its campaign lof
misrepresentation is the attack made
by the "Weekly Comic" on the county
printing contract which is held by the
Courier. In frantic effort to con-
vince the voters of the county that
the taxpayers are being "held up
D. B. M. pays no regard to the cor
rectness Of the figures he quotes and
adds to the total amounts for the diff
ferent years few thousands where
lever he thinks they will look the
WORST to the voters.
The local Ananias, in last week S
issue Of the "Comic" made the state
ment that the 1921 printing bill for
Valley county was $1O,211.OO It was
not. The total printing bill for the
year 1921 was $8,356.53. The differ
ence between the correct and incor-
rect figures being mere two thous-
and dollars.
They say that the 1922 printing
bill, to date, has amounted to $12,-
1887 and that most of the election
bills are yet to come. The fact is
that the printing bill for 1922, up to
and including the claims filed Octo-
ber 1st, total $6,606.25, mere diff
ference of about $4,000 in the cor
rect and incorrect figures. And we
might add that the bulk of all cleo
tion supplies for the fall elections
have already been included in the
above claims. The total of all claims
filed by the Courier and T. j. Hook
ing, for steel furniture, typewriters,
supplies, etc., for the year 1922 does
not come anywhere near the total of
$12,219.87 as was published in the
last issue of the comic and any tax
payer of the county can ascertain the
facts for himself by looking over the
records of the county clerk and re-
corder.
Summing up the statements made
by the "Comic" we are forced to the
SOHNAuSAOA Cudt CIC culCO1o pay dU-
solutely no attention to the facts of
a case, but distort the figures to suit
their line of argument,
In granting the last printing con-
tract to the Courier the commissioners
compared the prices at which the
Courier offered to do the work with
contracts in force from a number of
the counties surrounding, and we are
not exaggerating and an investigation
will prove the truth of this statement,
when we say that Valley county is
buying it's printing 25 per cent cheap
er than any other county in northern
Montana today.
We want the taxpayers of Valley
county to investigate the truth of
these statements. The records are on
file and we want you to see them for
yourselves.

To Combine County and City Offices

To Combine County and City Offices.
Among the four questions to be
submitted for decision by the people
at the coming election is that of a
proposed amendment to the constitu-
ton, relating to the form of county
and city governments.
If this amendment is adopted it will
then become possible to combine city
and county governments in all coun-
ties in which there would be vast
saving of money, along with increased
efficiency, if the city and county gov
ernments could function together as
one.
For example, there is Silver Bow
county which really is the city of
Butte. In that county the city and
county governments constitute form
Of duplication. Probably there are
other counties in Montana that would
be grateful for the privilege of COM
bining their city and county govern
ments into one set of offices. We do
not know whether this would be al
together desirable in Missoula coun-
ty but, certainly, we should vote for
the amendment because it gives US the
power to combine these governments
if that seems for the best.
There can be no politics in this
movement, since the proposed amend
ment has been indorsed in the plat
forms of both political parties and by
a large number of the leading citizens
of Montana. 1t appears to us as an
important step in the general program
of economy and reduction of taxation
that is now well under way in Mon
tana. AS pure business proposition
every taxpayer should be interested
in the passage Of this amendment.
We do not think there will be any
great opposition but, nevertheless, it
is of great Importance that the peo-
pie should inform themselves fully on
this matter, and vote according to the
best interests Of the taxpayers of the
state.-Missoulian.

From Our
Exchanges
Mrs. Wheeler Campaigns.

Sidney and Richland county were
honored this week by visit from Mrs.
Burton X. Wheeler of Butte, wife of
the Democratic candidate for United
States senator. Mrs. Wheeler was ac-
companied by Mrs. Lutey, also of
Butte, who is assisting Mrs. Wheeler
in giving the feminine touch to the
Butte mans campaign.
Richland county constitutes hope
less situation according to Mrs.
Wheeler, if reports reaching the Her
aid are correct. She found here a
veritable hotbed of sentiment existing
for Carl w. Riddick and she was sur
prised at this fact, because her hus-
band had started her out on the trip
with the information that he had al
ready fixed everything in Richland
county. We believe Mr.. and Mrs.
Wheeler were just mistaken in their
former idea of the political situation
in this county. Of course it is true
that Mr.. Wheeler made a flying trip
to this section two weeks ago for the
sole purpose of picking up the few
bad ends existing here. His trip was
successfully acclaimed as having done
the work by the daily press of the
state, those staunch supporters Of Mr..
Wheeler. So down from Butte comes
the wife of the Democratic senatorial
candidate, expecting to receive hear
ty welcome, the keys Of the city, and
all those things, but alas, the lady
found political chill in the air that
was saddening and uncomfortable.
Mrs. Wheeler is charming lady and
we are sorry that her reception here
was not more hearty and cordial. We
are sorry that the splendid effort she
is making is not being made in be-
half Of a candidate more worthy of
the support of such charming cam
paigner.-Sidney Herald.

Verdict Sustained.

The Maryland Court of Appeals has af-
firmed the decision of the Circuit Court for
Prince Georges county In the case of Mrs.
Marearet F. Alberto. OF Laurel. Md. form
erly of Bethesda. this county, against Philip
T. Hall, Of Washington, which was a suit
for damages for personal injuries.
The suit was the result Of an automo-
bile accident near Bethesda. this county
in May, 1919. in which Mrs. Alberto
and her husband, Geo. W. Alberto. were
struck by an automobile belonging to Hall
and operated by his nephew. Mr.. and Mrs.
Alberto we're walking along the Rockville
Pike. near Bethesda. when Halls car came
up behind them and struck both. Mr.. AL
berthe died the same evening in a Wash
ineton hospital. and Mrs. Alberto was
seriously and permanently injured. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Alberto were in the Govern
ment service at Washington at the time.
The case was tried at Marlboro last
April and the jury awarded Mrs. Alberto
judgement for $4,000. A suit for damages
for the death of Mr.. Alberto is pending
in the Supreme Court Of the District OF
Columbia. The suit tried in Prince George s
county was Instituted in the Circuit Court
here, but was removed to Marlboro when
Hall made affidavit that he did not think he
could have a fair and impartial trial here.

A Successful Entertainment.

The auditorium of the high school at
Sandy Spring was crowded to the utmost
on Saturday, March rs. when the Wash
ington Concert Company and the Owl Play
ers. of Washington. gave a benefit per-
Torrance for Montgomery County General
Hospital. The audience was most appreci-
alive and the players responded to a
number Of curtain calls and encores. each
vying with the other for honors Of the even
ing. The concert numbers were particu-
larry good and the violin in the hand Of
Miss Marion Adams gave forth notes at
times likened only to the sound of bah
bling brook while at other times it sighed
like heart broken child and again with
the ripple of baby's laughter.
Miss Rebecca Dial. daughter of Senator
Dial. of South Carolina, gave most enter
tanning and graphic description of Mrs.
Dodd, who had had several husbands and
who could give most any of the ladies in
structions on how to manage a husband
successfully. She responded to her encore
with one equally as instructive to the men
and on her second encore wished only ITO
Be By Her." After this she received several
curtain calls.
Mrs. Marialyse Ross Manly carried us
for bit into colorful old Spain. where we
were held spellbound during her rendition Of

Miss Winifred Michaelson was the &C
companist Of the evening and gave several
piano solos. The entire performance was

Hatching Time In Old Montgomery,

This is the season when all our citizens
who are interested in poultry should be
looking to the Matching and broodine of
the young chicks. The heavier breeds, or
general purpose fowl, such as Wyandottes,
Rhode Island Reds and Plymouth Rocks,
should be Matched during March and April
If winter egg production is to be expected,
as a hatch of these varieties after the
middle of May will not have time to de-
velop and start laying before cold weather
sets in and must usually be carried until
the following March before they begin
producing eggs. On the other hand the So
called eeg varieties or Mediterranean breeds,
such as Leghorns, Anconas, Minorcas, An
dalusians, etc., should be Matched during
April, May and the first week in June, as
they develop much faster than the heavier
breeds, and if Matched before the middle
of March are liable to be full grown and
60 into moult in the fall, which greatly
prejudices their system against egg pro-
duction during the winter.
Great loss is sustained during the first
ten days to two weeks Of chick life through
the dread scouree of white diarrhoe, espe-
cially is this noticeable in incubator chicks
which have been allowed to become chilled
soon after Matching. This can be largely
prevented by using good white diarrhoe
preventive and remedy. which would be
glad to supply on request at little more
than cost of materials and mixing Of same.
including postage. A half teaspoonful to
a quart of drinking water for the youngsters
during the first ten days Of their life will
greatly reduce the enormous loss usually
accompanying this disease.
Breeding stock should be kept on free
range if possible and to prevent disease
tablespoonful Of Epson salts should be
mixed in a 2-gallon bucket of the old
chickens drinking water at every week or
ten-day intervals. This will keep your
breeding stock healthy the year round.
Give the baby chicks nothing but a good
ready mixed baby chick mash fed dry in
little hopper during the first ten days Of
their life, but remember they should not
be fed for "a to As hours after being
Matched. as the yolk of the egg, which is
the last thing absorbed in the abdomen, is
natures ample food for the first day or
two. and the first thing to give them after
placing them with the hen or under the
brooder is pure drinking water with little
W. D. mixture and few fine grits or very
small pieces of stone or coarse sand to pick.
Follow these directions and you will have
no trouble in raising chicks to maturity.
Rats, cats and hawks are the chief
enemies, so make your coops proof against
these vultures during chicken development.
