RASMUSSEN'S LETTER
Plentywood, Montana.
February 9th, 1924.
The Editor,
Sheridan County Farmer (whoever
that isl,
Plentywood, Montana.

h~AA~A AAe~A COSAAeJ e~AAAAOA NWAAOCfOA
that isl,
Plentywood, Montana.
Dear Sir:
to call at your cffice, where you would
show me "Ihe Undeniable Proof"
To accept your invitation would only
be a waste of time on my part. AS
l stated before, / do not know the
first thing about printing, SO when
you talk about twenty pound bond
and perforated sheets / simply would
not know what you were talking
about. and would altogether have to
take your word for it. Knowing that
you were an interested parry, would
take your facts to be one sided, and
they would not be facts to me. In
stead of wasting my time on confer
ence in your Office | have been able
to get at scne of the facts in. other
ways.
Ny argument was: If the Producers
News did overcharge the county, how
did the claims go through, and who
would be the proper party to blame
for it? You are trying to squirm
out of it by putting the blame on Dan
Olsen. By doing this you are mis-
leading the public. You know, or
should know, that whenever Mr.. Olson
puts his 0. X. on claims of that kind,
his O. K. only means that he has
received the amount he ordered and
has nothing whatever to do with the
price Of it. He might not know any
more about printing than | do. The
printing contract is not on file in his
Office, and it is not his job to look up
! the prices. The Clerk & Recorders
Office and the County Commissioners
are paid for looking after that par5
/ cf it, and as long as these parties
did not find any overcharge l take
i It for granted that there was not
anv. Furthermore [ have investigat-
ed a few of your biggest charges and
/ find them false as far as the Pro-
! ducers News is concerned.
One of your charges was that The
f Producers News has received he
outrageous sum of $1,000 for 1000
envelopes 9x15. I have bfeore me
an affidavit, signed by our county
purchasing agent, Mr.. C. B. Peter
son. stating the fact that he placed
tbe order with The Producers News
at $1,000 per 1000, and that this was
/ Tess lI-ltN re ll-l-lS-lL Was etJlC 70 Sc
cure the envelopes for from eastern
wholesalers. Still you are trying to
make people believe that these en-
velopes could be bought for $3.50.
Why is it then hat Carl Peterson
would have to pay over $1,000 from
the wholesalers He simply ordered
them from The Producers News be
cause it was the place he could get
them the cheapest. This leaves the

Plentywood, Mont, Feb. q, 1924.
Editor Sen. March,
Sheridan County Farmer,
Plentywood, Mont.
Dear Sir:
After l have been reading your
last three issues of Unity for Town
and Country, l came to the conclC-
sicn that I wanted to write you a
few lines
In your issue of February 9Th, you
said that Sen. Taylor was back with
tail feathers dragging and he had d
chilly welcome at the Farmer-Labor
Convention at Denver. Colorado.
/ would like to ask you, Mr.. March,
have you ever seen Sen. TaylOr's tail
feathers dragging? If you have, you
have seen more than any other man.
Mr.. Charles Taylor is a man among
men, his tail feathers were not drag
ging when he had to fight an almost
single handed fight against that old
gang of grafters who have swindled
Sheridan county cut of thousands, yes
hundreds of thousands OF dollars. His
feathers were not dragging when he
licked The old ex-Sheriff in front of
the police station here in Plentvwood
after the Sheriff first had attacked
Mr. Taylor, and the ex-Sheriff had to
stay in bed for a week or more. No,
done ycE ever think for a minute that

About Anything No Matter How
Small and IncOnsequental the Sub
ject May Be-FOll0ws StOrkan's
Method Of SANDER.

The Storlzan medical journal and
its editor, Burlev Bowler, famous
gambler and .wO-faced artist from
Scobey. finally took their last breath
of slander and 'expose" in their last
issue. They attempt to tell some
thing aboEC the Outlook Basket So
cial given for the benefit of the Farm
party.
They knew nothing about it as may
be. judged from the assertions that
Taylor and Crone didn't cake walk,
etc." Their local spy gave them
bum steer as the people Of Outlook
well know.
Poor Sen. March can not even
trust his heutenants to tell him
about basket social without causing
him embarrassment by lieing to him.
He puts it in print because he wan. S
it to be so and thereby makes him
and the Farmerine the real joke that
they are. He was tickled as a young
rooster on a bright warm spring
morning when the report that the
Outlook social was a failure reached
him.

himself before running to show it
to Storkan.
But alas, the Outlook community
knew better $50 people attended and
the Farmer-LabOr party realized
about $4,000 from the social. All
were happy. Taylor and Crone cake
walked and everything and the "Rev-
elers Reveled until daylight.
Storkan, the pillster, and Sen.
March dreamt, but their dreams did
not come true. They hoped and they
put their hopes into print, but only
to lose some more Of their hoped-for
prestige.
Pity the poor pilster.
Pity the poor broken-down poli,i-
clan.
Pity the poor gamblers.

BIG ROW STAGED AT
FARMERINE OFFICE
Big Window in Farmerine Office
Broken as Collector Demands His
Pay for Labor Furnished in Fix
ing up Storkan's Medical Journals
Home.

Last Saturday evening, while pass
ing the Famerine office, Deputy
Sheriff Bantz beheld a cloud of fly
ing fuTni. ure, a loud noise as that
of an earthquake and finally one Of
the performers came through the
front window without lust opening it
and when the flying glass finally set
lied it was found that Jack Duggan
and n. d. johnson were the main ac-
tors IN the row at the Farmerine's
Office
1t seems from reports that Jack
Duggan, who had helped repair the
old implement shed now occupied by
the Storkan Medical Journal. He went
to the -Farmerine Office and demand
ed the money. Manager March evil
IDENTIFY had none, his subscribers hav-
ing failed to respond to his pitiful ap-
peal sent out few days previously
and Storkan, the pilser, having neg
lected to provide for that item in his
claims to the county. In this most
unfortunate and precarious situation,
Sen. March called upon NJ d. John
son to defend him from Duggan and
the fistic and furniture combat
resulted.
Deputy Sheriff Bantz gave the dis
turbers to understand that he did
not like to see the Farmerine wreck
ed at this time, he having sympathy
with poor Sen. March in such sitC-
atom and that March would not be
able 10 replace the broken equipment
In the Farmerine office with his con-
stantly dwindling revenues, remark
ing that he intended to fill a couple OF
cells at the county bastile should any
further disturbance occur, and so Sen
March was saved.

THE new STORE
CLOSED BY CREDITOR
D'Marx Sons, a Wholesale House,
Closes Up Business Establishment
of John Palubicki Last Saturday.

Because J. P. Palubich was unable
to meet a bill which he owed to
D'Marx Sons, the contents Of the New
Store were sized by that Company
on a writ of attachment served by
the Sheriff's Office, T. J. Greer being
attorney for the D'Marx Sons.
In explaining the closing of the
store and his inability to meet the
demand Of the wholesale company at
his time, Mr.. Palubicli said that the
closing Of the First State Bank had
hit him quite hard financially and the
general condition eff the country made
it almost impossible to collect out
standing indebtedness.
The goods were removed from the
PalubicE store and their disposal will
be settled later bv the creditors.

the county money that he is even
unwilling to let a claim of the Pro-
ducers News be presented to the
Commissioners which calls for $3.50
for 1000 letter heads on 10 ID. fiat un-
ruled paper, without challenging cor
rectness of it. Pop Bottle Jack would
like to have the Producers News
furnish all printing for the Clerk &
Recorders office for nothing so that
the expense of that office would not
pile up to such tremendous figures,
caused to a great extent by the pay
ment to him Of the unearned salary
which he is receiving. This bottle
juggler is always there with the

quired to earn his salary, he would

He thinks that Sheridan county owes
him a lifelong stipend for the SER

Mac Ready Reaches Near Eight
Miles Is Forced Down
THOUGHT HE'D HAVE TO LEAP
Feels Fit Despite Prostitutes On Face,
In 70 Below Zero At "ceiIing''--
How Far He Was
Short.
THOUGHT HE'D HAVE TO LEAP

Dayton, Ohio.-For the SECOND
time within two months the United
States has failed to wrest the
worlds aviation altitude record
from France.
Lieut.. John A. MacReady, McCooh
Field flying ace and former holder Of
the record, aroused hope Friday that
the honor would return to America
when he pushed his LIE Pere biplane
to an indicated height Of 41.000 feet
But subsequent calculation OF his IN
struments reduced this to 34,9S3 feet
The record 1855 feet--is held by
Sadi Lecointe.
While Lecointe's actual altitude was
less than $4,000 feet, MacReady must
have attained a height of 1886 feet
to- have broken, the record. A recent
ruling requires that any new record
be 1900 feet higher than the old one
before it becomes official.
MacReady attributed his failure to
a breakdown Of his supercharger, the
mechanism which permits his engine
to, operate in rarified atmosphere, and
to- the extreme cold.
When his instruments registered A.
900 feet, with the engine apparently
running perfectly, there was sudden
snap, he said, that shook the plane
from end to end. He prepared to make
ia parachute jump. he said, but when
he knew what was wrong he brought
the plane to the ground. A similar
incident forced him down on his last
attempt.
MacReady's thermometer had failed
to register after touching so degrees
below zero, centigrade-70 below zero,
Fahrenheit. He estimates it was much
colder, as he had climbed some dis
lance after noticing that his Their
mometer stopped registering.
So far as his personal condition was
concerned, the aviator says he could
have gone higher, but his engine was
useless after the supercharger failed.
He had two frostbites on his face and
his feet were numbed blythe cold, but
otherwise he was comfortable.
MacReady probably will make no
more altitude attempts in the lie Pere
plane, officials said, but may try again
in one now being turned out at the
field.
