The Scobey H. S. Debating team

Theatre in this city last Saturday
evening and threshed out the ques-
ton: Resolved that the Federal
Government Should pass Legislation
Rigidly Excluding the japanese from
the United States" Scobey taking
the affirmative side. From the start
it was evident that the Scobey team
had met with real opposition, and
was doubtful to the end.
The Judges for the. debate were
Rev. Cole, District Supt. of the
Methodist church of Kalispell, Prof.
Boes of Madoc and Mr.. William
Johnson, cashier Of Security State
Bank of Whitehall. The decision met
with the approval of all.
The Scobey team has debated both
sides of this question, having de-
feated the Outlook team on January
18th, ON the negative side. This will
give them big advantage in their
next debate, which will be with the
Plentywood team, if they accept, at
Scobey some time the latter part of

Wheat Eating Declines.

While strong efforts are being made
TO line up the farmers against the
workers of our cities. 1t liz interesting
70 note some recent figures prepared

ton. 49,
In 1913 the per capita consumption

In other words. year OF depression
at home reduced our domestic con.
sumption by 2s0,000,0oO bushels. The
figures for 1891 are not yet available
but we anticipate a consumption
smaller than that for 1920.
Where did the decline take placer
We are quite sure that those who have
endeavored to enlist farmers in the
crusade for starvation wages. have
not diminished their consumption of
wheat in the slightest and they would
not increasegit Ii we doubled or trebled
their profits The man who has ahun-
dant funds takes good care of his
stomach. s
The only occasion on which h,,-
he does not have the means TO supply
It's needs. It was the laboring popu-
lation OF the United States that re-
dueed their wheat consumption and
the farmerssin certain sections who
could not get enough from their prod |
nets to bug the normal amount of
aour. They cut consumption not be-
cause they wanted to. but because they |
had to. Two hundred and thirty mil
ion bushels of wheat is more than |
Minnesota, North and South Dakota |
ogether raise in a year. And al,
hough labor has been debated. mar
icuiariy organized labor. prices of Ia
'or products which the farmer buys
rom Big Business, are still out
ageously high
Thus. through the labor .dsfiatiou
olicies the farmers have lost a large
art OF their market and they have
eceived little or no advantage in the
