THE FIGHTING NORTHWEST

Something Of the good humOr and
the determined spirit with which
most of the northwest is facing it's
troubles was reflected in a special
edition of the Glasgow, Montana,
Democrat, issued on the occasion Of
the arrival of the Oriental Limited
with its cargo of eastern and mid
western writers alert to learn how
the northwest was faring.
AS was explained several days ago
in the Round Table the northwest is
fondling a little crouch against Garet
Garrett, an able writer on economic
topics, no in Il series of
magazine articles (the first one
being entitle "That Pain
in Our Northwest") has been point
ing out the troubles in that section.
Northwesterners contend that Nc.
Garrett overlooked certain compen-
satory conditions.
"Glasgow has three physicians and
surgeons, one chiropractor and two
dentists" commented the Glasgow
Democrat IN it's special edition. drop
in any time you get pain in the
northwest"
And then there was comment in a
more serious tone:
A great many Of our farms are not
heavily encountered; none are mort
gagged to an extent even to COM
pare with land mortgages in states
in the east. Many of or farmers are
out of debt. They haven't plunged,
but have been content with what they
could pay cash for. These have
raised their living on their farms.
We would like to get little more
for our wheat, sheep and cattle, or
on the other hand, we could get
along nicely on present prices. for
what we sell if we didn't have to
pay quite SO much for what we have
to buy. But, paradoxically, we can
get along all right as it is!
We are not so sure about those
fiat measures llegedly-to
put agriculture on it's feet" but we
believe that the tariff needs fixing.
The same determined temper, and
the same skepticism as to the eff
cacy Of governmental measures, were
generally encountered by the eastern
and midwestern pilgrims in their
tour of investigation. The north
west is Kidding itself Of it's pain with

up with talking about and hunting
for secret drawer in a lovely old
desk that she herself gave Leslie for

a scream if she should find this
drawer before Leslie returns. and
also find something in it that Leslie

where are your tickets?" asked
the titmouse as Nancy and Nick
and Johnny Jump UP, the garden
fairy, hoped on his back.
Here they are" said Nick, reach
ing into his pocket. ~,
The titmouse put on his specks
and looked at them by the light of
the moon. Each ticket said "One
round trip to Holland! There and
back"
He punched hole in each one
with his sharp little beak and stuff
ed them into his pocket.
"All aboard! Ding, ding" he cried
and flew off in hurry.
Away they went over tree tops
and fields and hills and houses until
they came to the sea.
Then they flew over the sea to-
ward the sunrise and then they
came to Holland.
The titmouse lighted on a red roof
with big chimney. OTIS daylight

planned. "Now have a good time, all
of you. I'll be back at half past ten
to take you back to the magic gar
den. Be here promptly and please
don't keep me waiting"
"We WON'T" promised the travel
ers.
Away flew the titmouse.
How d. do" said a new voice.
And there stood tall stork beside
a great nest, right on the roof be-
side them.
"How d. dol" said Nancy and Nick
and Johnny Jump Up.
pretty WE'LL" said the stork. "Did
you come from Africa, too?"
"No," answered the little garden
fairy, "We came from the magic
garden, though, and that's just as
good. The tulips there are wonder
full"
"Pooh!" said the stork sharply out
of his sharp bill. "Just look over
the edge Of the roof there and you'll
see what tulips really are"
So all three of them ran and
looked. That's nothing!" called back
Johnny Jump Up. "We have that
many at home"
For he wouldn't let on that they
were any finer.
Say" said the stork. "Some folk
are hard to convince. If you jump
on my nose, I'll take you around
and show you thing or two"
But no sooner were they all seated
on Mr.. Stark's long bill, than he
went "achoo! achoo! achoo!"
And away shot the three little peo-
pie like beans out of bean shooter.
For the Twins were as tiny as the
little fairy himself, with their magic
shoes on.
Mr.. Stork tapped his wings and
flew after them. ooh, beg your par
don," he said. "But you see you
tickled my nose so just had ia
sneeze. Now hop on again and III
be more careful. I'll show you all
the sights of Holland"
Soon they were all sitting on Mis-.
ter Storks nose again. And he flew
first to place where tulips were
growing-such large field of then
that no matter where you looked
there were tulips.

Ford Buyers Will Saue
Three-Q Quarters Million

The reduction in prices announced
by the Ford Motor Company becom-
ing effective December 2 will save
over three-quarters of million dol
lars to Ford car buyers during the
month of December alone. That this
amount will be left to the arAbuyers
to spend on holiday gifts and other
things is based on conservative es-
innate of December sales.
The largest cut in the Ford list
was that of $25 in the price of the
Fordor Sedan, one of the most at
tractive Ford closed cars and one
which is a favorite for family use.
Prices on other Ford types were
reduced bringing all of them to the
lowest price level in the history of the
company.

An unfavorable report following a
preliminary survey by engineers of
the War Department on the proposed
deepening of the channel of Lewis
river, Chincoteague Island, Accomack
county, was sent to Congress Decem-
Der 7th, by the Secretary Of War.
Fishermen and oyster shippers of
Chincoteague Island desired refuge
harbor and a waterfront for wharves
by dredging a six-foot channel SO to
100 feet wide in Lewis rivers which
extends some $500 feet on the west
ern side of the island.
Army engineers refused, to recon-
mend that the United States govern
ment undertake the work of improv-
ing this channel declaring that the
benefits would be limited and local,
and of no benefit to the general pub
lie. No local cooperation in financ-
ing the project was offered, and it is
estimated that only 5000 tons of fish
and oysters would be handled through
such channel annually.
