RAY LANG HAS
MORE TROUBLE
WITH HIS FORDS
NATIONAL SECURITIES COMPA-
NY OF FARGO TAKES STEPS
TO RECOVER TWO FORD
TOURING CARS AND ONE
FORD TRUCK.

Ray Lang, proprietor of the Mon
tana Motor Company and prominent
polltlcal bcss and advisor of Pilster
Otorkan is gradually reaping the har-
vest which is inevitable for anyone
OF his caliber, and is daily becoming
enmeshed in his own net of question
able dealings with his Ford patrons.
lie IS becoming noted, not only for
his slanderOus attacks upon the Off
clals of Sheridan County whom he
does not like and whom he has spent
q great deal of time belittleing, in
stead OF attending to his Ford busi-
ness, but he is becoming equally noted
for his business and financial adven-
tGres which disclOseses that his time
and energy expanded to fight The
Producers News and the officials of
Sheridan County has yielded him no
financial ncr personal gain.
This noted Ford agent noted most
Iy for his erroneous judgment and
lack of business discretion, has piled
up a heap CT trouble for himself dur
ing the past SIX months, during which
time he has done everything possible
to destroy the Producers News and
establish little political clique of his
own IN Sheridan County with the
help Of Pilster Storkan's Farmerine.
lie has become involved in numerous
deals which now threatens his Ford
business which has for many years
past, yielded him considerable divi-
dends both as a fnancier and as
politician. Like the old saying in
dicates, Ray has had his day and he
profitable endeavors and too little in
crest in his own affairs.
On Tuesday Of last week, Sheriff
Salisbury received telegraphic in
structlOns from The National Securi-
ties Company of Fargo, instructing
him to proceed and seize two Ford
cars and one Ford truck which Lang
had sold under purchase contracts to
G. r. Nance of Redstone, Mariane
Lodahl of Medicine Lake and R. T.
Lee of Plentywood, which contracts
he had rescld to the Fargo concern.
Upon receipt of the instructions the
sheriff concluded that the purchasers
had complied with their agreements
and that most likely Ray Lang had
again failed to remit to the Securi-
ties Company. Dispute the bitter
ness with which Lang has denounced
and slandered Sheriff Salisbury and
dispite the fact that he would have
been justified in Selling the FOrds
which would have caused Lang untold
trouble. Salisbury called Lang's at
tentiOn to his instructions and gave
him a reasonable time in which tc.
settle the matter. This, Lang agreed
to do upon which Salisbury held the
proceedings in allegiance and on
Thursday afternoon Lang called at
the SheTif's Cffice and rendered
check in settlement Of the claims of
the Securities Company against the
three FOrds in question.
This is the second instance which
has been called to the attention cf
The Producers News during the past
two weeks in which Lang is involved.
A great many FOrds have been sold
by him during the past several years
and it is current opinion that the
purchasers would do we'll to take ex-
traCrdinary precautions when deal
ing with Lang and his Montana Mo
tor Company in view of the latest
developments. When anyone takes
the time and energy that Lang takes
in belittling The Producers News, the.
farmers and their elected officials,
there is likely some hidden motive
which have i'll fOrebodings. This has
been demonstrated .times-without-
and it is now an accepted
theory that when anyone knocks and
ISLANDERS The Producers News there
is something wrong with the sland-
erers.
There are a great number of Ford
patrons thruOut the territory served
by Lang, and for that reason a Ford
service station is more or less of a
public utility proposition. With this
attached to it, everyone
will conclude that Ford Agency and
service station should be in charge of
some reliable persOn-one that will
devote more time to his business than
to politics and to belittling public of
fcials elected by large majorities by
the farmers and workers who are the /
largest users of Ford cars.
