STRONCHEART RESCUES
BABY FROM WOLF PACK

For thrills. both melodramatic and
emotional, there has not been a mo-
ton picture production made in
years that can compare with "Brawn
of the North" starring Strongheart
the wonder dog, which comes to the
Liberty theatre Thursday-Friday
Brawn is a dog owned by Marion
Wells who Goes to the north country
to aid her brother and fance to de-
velop a mine. Fhe wild country has
evposed her fiance for what he really
is-a petty souled rascal-and fight
ensues from Marion's refusal to
marry him, in which the brother is
killed and the fance is drowned as
far as Marion knows. But he comes
back and Brawn evens the score for
the brothers death, and later when
Marion is happily marrlet to tho
hero, TIE dog resc1es her baby from
a pack of starving wolves.
And the wolves are really there
more than a dozen of the gaunt
beasts that live up to the reputation
of being the sharks of the wooded
country.

SECURITY STATE
BANK SUSPENDS
CAUSE, DEPLETED RESERVE
OFFICIALS DECLARE ALL
DEPOSITS SAFE

Friday morning, Dec. 7, the Secur-
ity State Bank did not open its doors
for business. A notice posted on the
door said 'This bank closed. De-
pleted reserve" The closing was
through the voluntary action of the
board of directors and the State
banking department was notified.
Deputy M. T. Masselt, from the state
examiners office, is now in charge.
Switzer's Statement
Vice-president J. B. Sitzwer, the
officer in direct charge of the bank,
was interviewed concerning the con-
dition of the bank and the plans for
handling its affairs in the present
emergency. He stated emphatically
that the affairs of the bank were in
good shape and that the assets could
easily take care of the deposits. He
stated that the bank owes the Federal
Reserve about $4,000 and that half
of the amount is in sight and he did
not contemplate much difficulty in
raising the other $4,000
The banks trouble came about
through the Federal Reserve, when
the Reserve bank charged off several
thousand dollars of the Security
States paper and took the amount
out of the banks cash reserve, which
put the reserve below the require
ment.
Depositors Not to Lose
Mr.. Switzer stated that after the
Federal Reserve banks account had
bee Unbalanced the future of the Sc
curity Bank would be largely in the
hands of the depositors. He was
anxious, he said, for the adoption of
The plan that would cause the least
expense. Whether the bank resumes
,r goes into liquidation will be large
V determined by the wish of the de-
,ositors. He wishes to give assur-
snce that the banks assets are in
,uch shape that depositors can be
aid in full. and that no one will
ose except through the inconven-
ance of the suspension. At the time
# the suspension the banks loans ,
we're S143,OOO and its deposits $127,-
100.
County Funds Safe
The funds of Roosevelt County,
eposited in the bank, are absolutely t
afe. They are fully protected by S
ersonal bonds and County Treas e
rer Kellogg is holding warrants for @
lmost the amount on deposit as ad- v
itional collateral. t

1t will be the duty of this commission
to gather statistics on the growing
crops pertaining to production to de-
termine the percentage of each crop
available for exporting, and to pur-
chase the exportable surplus ON the
early market and sell it on the world
market. The purpose of the organ
ization is, first, to raise the tariff on
wheat to protect the producer; sec
ond, to buy up and handle the ex-
portable surplus of wheat which
would cut down the home supply to
the actual requirements.
A Wrong Principle
The total production of wheat in
the United States is bought under
the present system on the world
market, at the world or Liverpool
price of wheat; the reason being that
there is no distinction in price made
between the marketable surplus and
the wheat used for home consump-
ton. Consequently the price paid
for the exportable surplus sets the
price on the entire home crop.
We believe that there should be
two prices, one a price for the wheat
used in the United States and one
the Liverpool or worlds price for the
exportable surplus, which means to-
day from 121a to 20 per cent of
our entire production The Ameri-
can price would be the worlds price
plus the tariff on the wheat.
Must Cooperate
The success of this plan would de-
pend in part on successful coopera-
tive marketing of our wheat. The
work of the wheat growers organi-
cations must be carried forward by
united effort until those who raise
and own the wheat have full control
Of selling it rather than be at the
mercy of middIemen whose fat
profits come out of the farmers
pockets.
The farmer is entitled to the bene-
its of the protective tariff just as
much as the manufacturer.
Bogus Tariff
The persent 80 cent tariff does
lot operate to protect the American
armer against Canadian wheat, but
) circumvented and cunningly vio-
ated until it operates in the interest
f the millers and the wheat snug
lers who disguise themselves as ex-
orters.

Strong Movement Starts
For Export Commission
Montana Export Commission League Speaker Advocates
Plan To Secure An American Price For American
Wheat Through Tariff Adjustment Idea ToBeBacked
By All Western States.

L. w. Day, of Lewistown, a speak
er representing the Montana Export
Commission League, addressed a
small but representative gathering
of farmers and business men at STEM
mes hall Wednesday afternoon. The
M. E. G. L. is an organization in the
making and is endorsed and vigor-
ously pushed by the Wheat Growers
association, the Farmers Union, the
Farm Bureau, the Retail Merchants
association, the Bankers association
all of the State of Montana. The
movement has just recently started
in this state but has been taken up
and endorsed in several western
states, notably Washington and Ida
no. 1t is anticipated that from eight
to IL wastern states will be organ
lied and solidly behind the idea
within the next two months, in order
to demand action by the present
Congress.
The country will be flooded with
literature setting forth the explana-
legislation to bring a measure of
justice to American wheat growers.
This paper has more explanatory
matter ready for publication next
week.
Mr.. Day gave an excellent talk,
using plain terms and clear illustra-
tions. 1t was evident that the new
idea was we'll received by htose pres
ent.

NEW CONGRESS TO
BE SPECTACULAR

Washington, Dec. 2.-Predictions
that the new Congress would be
spectacular in its performances were
easily fulfilled during the first week
of the present session. Ii the de-
velopments of the week may be
taken as criterion, the Sixty-eighth
Congress will be noteworthy only in
its tumultous controversies and non
productive in legislation necessary
for public welfare. 1t is manifestly
impossible for the Congress as now
constituted, to carry out even a por
ton of the Presidents recommends
tions for legislation. Administrator
leaders have displayed their inability
to cope with the situation as it is
difficult to control the activities of
Congress with a small and doubtful
working majority. In addition, there
is always the contingency of the So
called LaFollette group, nominally
listed as members of the majority,
skicking over traces" and bringing
about a legislative impasse similar
to the deadlock which marked the
fight over the speakership last week.
Nobody is deceived over the armis-
tice established between the major
ity leaders and the LaFollette group
in the House over revision of the
rules. The factional quarrels based
upon the liberalization of rules and |
better representation on committees
may crop out again before the ex-
Diration Of the truce. The contro-
1ersy in which II republican mem
oers of the House delayed the organ
zation, has brought about demand

RETURNS FROM NORTH OAK.

]. C. McLachlan, who has been
spending the past several weeks in
North Dakota, has returned. He.
says that agricultural and business
conditions there are in very bad
shape, that the farmers in the Red
River valley were very hard hit by
rust damage to their crops this year.

of the party system. G. o. P. lead
ers are worried over the condition
which has developed within their own
ranks, as it indicates that the party
in power will find it difficult to full
fill pledges, though they maintain a
working majority on paper.
The leaders of both parties have
surface in committee activities. Con-
sidering the fact that the greatest
percentage of legislation is transact
ed in committees, it is highly i'm
portant for political effect, at least,
that the conservative wing of the Re-
publican party keep control of com
mittee assignments, else it fall short
of party pledges.
The report of Secretary of Agri-
culture Wallace, made public this
week, reveals the difference of opin-
ion in the Cabinet as to measures for
agricultural relief. AS a legislative
of the farm organi-
zation explains it. the Presidents
plan stops with the extension of
credit, indicating that he has ac-
cepted the report of Eugene Meyer
and Frank Mondell of the War FL
nance Corporation, as against the
suggestions of Mr.. Wallace. In some
quarters it is expected that the sec
'etary will resign in the event the
Inference becomes more pronounced.
Ordinarily the report of a Cabinet
,fficer discusses accomplishments of
lis particular department without
lefnite comments on administration
,olicies. However. there have been
departures from this rule and the |
secretary of Agriculture has an
iounced that he favors the proposal i

a government export commission
charged with the duty of disposing
of the surplus in the form of wheat
or flour in such manner that the
domestic price may rise behind an
adequate tariff barrier to the point
or restoring pre-war purchasing
power of wheat in the domestic
market" He points out that work
ing capital of fifty million dollars
would be required and argues that
''in the end the cost would be paid,
not out of the public treasury, but
from assessments on the growers
benefited and should not be large"
Mr.. Wallace explains that "the
plan proposed could be applied more
easily to wheat than to some other
agricultural products, obviously if fa-
vorably considered, it should not be
confined to dealing in wheat alone.
It should include all other agricul-
tural products of which we have
considerable exportable surplus, and
the prices of which are substantially
out of line. Especially should pro-
vision be made for handling pork
products"
1t would take many columns to I
report the thousands of legislative
panaceas now awaiting attention of
committees. Those at
tention at this time include several
bills introduced in both the House
and Senate proposing a reduction of
on baggage and Pullman
fares. Organizations of travelling
men and the travelling public gener-
ally are affected in these measures.
Both Republican and Democratic
members of the House and Senate
presented bills authorizing the gov :
ernment to sell Muscle Shoals. 1t is
that the Madden bill, spon- ]
;ored by Representative Madden of
Illinois, chairman of the House Ap-
committee, will have the ]
light of way, as it is known to have ]
he approval of the administration. t
Briefly, it provides for the sale of :
he nitrate plant after guarantees j
ave been given which will make it t
for national defense in i
ime of emergency. The President, t
n his message, suggested the sale 7
f this plant and it is the concensus r
f opinion that Henry Ford will be r
he successful bidder, as the govern h
1ent has indicated its willingness to t
leet his conditions of purchase. J
With the administration and the
o-called "farm bloc" interested in
ne marketing of farm products, sew
