LADY
AFTER GAMBLERS

Mrs. Gibson's articles have been
read and enjoyed by us all--they are
sure full of pep ard truth, but they
do not go FAR enough.
In our little Comertown Poker
town. there are men gathered around
the gambling tables at all hours,
spending money galore that don't be-
long to them in the first place. There
are also places out in the country
where gambling with money is car
ried on to great extent. Why not
tell about where all the stills are To-
Gated and worst of all the red light
that goes hand in hand with liquor.
Oh these ministers of the gospel,
the Christian CD churchgoers, and
the rest of you law abiding citizens
and officers, wake up and do some
missionary work right at home instead
of bOthering your minds about the
Chinese and other foreign people. The
United States is supposed to be a civil
lied country. If a person investi-
gates and looks up the number of
murders, suicides, broken homes, ETC.,
you'd be apt to change your mind and
wish you were native of China in
stead of a citizen of country with
all the vices we have.
The Comertown community consists
of many growing children, our future
men and women. What they are
taught in childhood will always cling
to them. Are the rest of you satisfied
to have the present conditions going
on and be imprinted on the minds of
our boys and girls.
Please let me hear opinions from
some of you through the courtesy of
the columns of the Producers News.
From a Citizen Near Mrs.
Gibson's home town.
Edr. note: If the lady from Com
ertown will swear out information
against any of the aforementioned
we feel sure that the officers
will give the matter prompt atten-
tiOn.)

RELIGIOUS PAPER
REFUTES TALES OF
RUSSIAN ATROCITIES"

CHICAGO-Atrocity stories about
Russia detailing almost 100000 ex-
ecutions by the soviet agents are pooh
pooled by The Christian Century, an
undenominational journal of religion,
in editorial comment.
Strange beyond understanding, ("
says The Century, els the policy of
the metropolitan press Of America
that has recently revived the many
times refused tales of wholesale mas
sacre in Russia, quoting again the alb
surdiy exact figure of 1,747,346 al
legged murders by the soviet regime
since it took the reigns of power, and
reiterating the stories of atrocities
perpetrated upon uloffending priests
and congregations.
practically all travellers returning
from Russia declare these stories in
their main bulk to be fabrications.
Bishop John L. Nuelson of the Meth
odist church made his report some
weeks ago to his board of missions
and declared that Russia is open, wide
open, to the religious workers. Five
weeks ago yesterday he said, I
preached three times in our Methodist
church in Petrograd. I had all our
pastors in Russia together, and every
one of these pastors reported that in
the town where he is preaching the
gospel our chapels are too small to
contain the crowds. I inquired wheth-
er there was an interference on the
part of the government, and they said
to me: There is not the slightest in
terference-we are absolutely at lib
erty to preach the gospel and we have
more calls than we can answer"

LARSEN MEMORIAL
PASSES HOUSE
HOUSE JOINT MEMORIAL NO. Z

HOUSE JOINT MEMORIAL NO. 7
A Memorial to the United States
Senate and House of Representatives
asking for the passage of legislation
stabilizing the price of wheat and
providing an agency of the Govern
ment for the marketing abroad of the
surplus wheat crop.
TO THE HONORABLE SENATE
AND HOUSE OF REPRESEN-
TATIVES OF THE UNITED
STATES IN CONGRESS AS
SEMBLED:
WHEREAS, the prices secured for
general farm produce is dispropor-
tionately low in comparison with
prices of commodities which the
farmers buy; and
Whereas, this unfavorable price re-
lationship operates particularly to the
disadvantage of the grower of wheat,
Montana's chief cash crop, the pres
ent market value of which is consid-
erably below the actual cost to the
farmer who produced it; and
Whereas, the tariff branches and
other forms of subsidy confer a spe-
cial advantage upon other branches of
industry which is not enjoyed by the
wheat grower who produces an export
able surplus, and to this extent tend
to increase the difference between the
prices at which farmers buy and at
which they sell; and
Whereas, general prosperity
throughout the land must await the
return of prosperity to agriculture;
and
/ Whereas, sterilization Of prices Of
the major food crops is of fundament-
al Importance to the welfare of the
consumer as well as to the producer,
therefore
BE 1T RESOLVED, that it is the
sense of this Legislative Assembly,
that the Congress of the United
States should enact such Legislation
as may be necessary to create an
agency of the government for the
safe and economical marketing of the
surplus wheat crop of the United
States, and to fix a minimum price
for wheat; and
BE 1T RESOLVED, that it is the
sense Of this legislative assembly that
for the protection Of the interests of
the producers this minimum price for
wheat should be fixed on the basis of
$1.75 per bushel for No. 1 Northern
wheat at Chicago, and
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED,
that copy of this Memorial be for
warded to the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States
and to each of the Senators and Rep
resentatives from Montana in Con-
gress.
This bill has passed the House and
has gone to the Senate, where it is
hoped it will be passed by that body.

SON OF MR.. AND MRS. WALLACE

The following article clipped from

CHURCH NOTICES

With much less sickness in the
community, a marked return to nor
Madness in both Church School and
Church attendance was noted last
Sunday. The children of the primary
department of the Church school were
overioyed to find three dozen little
chairs on hand for them. The only
regret was that those three dozen
chairs were only sufficient for the two
smallest cIasses-the third class in the
department having to use the adult
chairs
May we ask the cooperation of all
parents in helping their children to
remember their birthdays and the
Sunday following the child's birthday,
giving him as many pennies as he is
years old to be put in the Missionary
birthday bank. Also if your child has
been sick and has had to miss Sun
day school, thus not being able to get
his reward apple or rabbit, write a
note to the child's teacher, sending it
with the child on the first Sunday at
tended, explaining that the child miss
ed so many Sundays on account of
sickness. Whereupon the teacher will
give them apples or rabbits for the
Sundays they missed for that reason.
Thanking you for your better cooper
alton in getting the children to Church
School on time, we now urge you to
better cooperate with US on these two
matters.
We especially welcome anybody who
does not attend church elsewhere, to
come and share in our Lenten SER
vices leading up to Easter. The ser
mon subject for next Sunday, Feb.
18th, will be 1.-THE Worth of Man. +"
Great interest was shown by the
young people of the community in the
Pastors class which started last
Monday, February 18th, and viii meet
regularly in the English room at the
High School at the o'clock hour for
the remaining five weeks till Easter
Twenty-four earnest young people met
in this discussion group to work out
together with the pastor and wife,
'What it means to be a Christian"
Even this first meeting in which
ground had to be cleared and the
subject introduced, there was great
interest as well as active part taken
by all. From this suspicious begin
ming we certainly shall expect the fol-
lowing five meetings to be alive with
interest, questions, answers and the
discovery of some great Christian
truths. IF there are others who de-
sire to come into this open discussion
group, plan to begin with the second
meeting which is next Monday. We
welcome every young person over u
who is interested to make a real life
as well as a living.
