BUSINESS INTERESTS
MUST COOPERATE
WITH FARMERS
TO MEMBERS OF THE MONTANA
WHEAT GROWERS ASSOClA-
TON.

TION:
AS an employee of the Montana
Wheat Growers Association vas
called to Lewistown last week to be
present at the joint meeting Of our
Board of Directors and the Advisory
Committee. which is composed OF
prominent business men Of this state.
This meeting was brought about for
the purpose of determining the posi-
ton of Montana business interests on
the matter of COOPERATIVE marketing
of wheat. and for the further purpose
of devising ways and means of bring
ing about comglete control of the
American wheat crop by the American
Wheat Growers Associated OF Whlch
the Montana Association IS unit.
The Chairman of the Agricultural
Committee of the Montana Bankers
Association spoke at this meeting, as
did the President of the Montana Re
tail Merchants Association, and the
gist of their talks was that the bus
mess interests of Montana must help
build this giant American Wheat
Trust, not as a matter Of charity to
the farmer but as a matter Of self
preservation for themselves; and,
further. that organized labor and the
organized industrial groups OF the
East are making the unorganlzed
wheat farmer of the West the business
goat.
Similar meetings are being held in
the other principal wheat growing
states, and these state meetings will
be followed by a national meeting Of
business and wheat grower represent
atives. Judging from what | saw and
heard at Lewistown | believe that in
very short time we are going to
have the help of every intelligent bus
inessman, not connected with the
grain trade, in perfecting this giant
organization.
The. economist knows, the laboring
man knows the big business man
knows, and every other ordinarily in
telligent man and woman knows that
the day of successful individual COM
! petition has passed, and that the time
/ of group competition is here. Real
ling this truth more than 10000
wheat farmers Of Montana have be-
come members of the Montana Wheat
| Growers Association. Take heart Mr.
Member and bring your unOrganizec
neighbor into the Association, for IL
no other way, in the near future, are
we going to be able to get more fOl
our labor in feeding the world, thar
a bare slavish existence.
~ Yours sincerely,
ARTHUR RUEUER.

Commercial Club Meets
Tuesday Evening

The Plentywood Commercial Club
met last Tuesday evening at the Club
rooms and discussed several. matters
of interest to PlentywOod and vicinity.
One of the subjects receiving a good
deal of discussion was the big Corn
Show which is to be held In Plenty
wood in November and arrangements
and plans for the same were gone
over very thoroughly.
Another interesting discussion was
held in regard to the crawling of the
roads leading east and west from
Plentvwood. It was finally decided to
Law out the stakes and get ready for
crawling the west road and if this
work progressed favorably to gravel
the bad spots in the east road leading
to Antelope just out of Plentywood.
A great deal of enthusiasm was
evinced at the meeting in regard TO
this project and it is thought that
work will soon commence with Plen-
| tywood citizens cooperating with the
] county to the fullest extent.
! The plan is to have the county
| furnish the truck and drivers and
grade the road, while the citizens OF
Plentywood are pledged to furnish
| the labor and gravel for surfacing the
two mile strip which it is proposed to
gravel at this time.
| Nearly all of the business men in
the city have offered their services il
building the road both in money anC
labor as they realize the importance
of getting a permanent road built into
the city which will both benefit tour.
lists and the city at large and give
Plentywood the name of having as
good roads as they now have on the
main line.

brings out Q newcomer Of merit.
The boxing match Saturday even
ing opened 10 with few rounds
among the smaller lads, who showed
a surprising knowledge of the game.
The first match among the grown
up pugs was between "Red" Bolster
and ''Spark Plug" Swanson. This was
bear cat of a go and coupled with
the fact that both are local boys it
was sure some battle. The bout start

for Swanson, "Red" being short of
breath, which was no doubt helped
