able to announce that the prin-
cess selected from among the
county Representatives as Queen

: agement of the exposition. The
City of Tulsa is constructing a
= float for Montana which will cost
$ $1,000 on which the Montana
: Princess will ride during the big
: pageant which will feature the
5 show. A similar amount is to
$ be expended on the floats of the
other states so it can be seen
that the pageant is to be a spec
tacular event.

1924 contest are now being sent
out and nominating ballots will
appear in the Producers News

Martial law was then proclaimed and
the functions of the workers Mayor
was superseded by the Military on
the orders of Stewart, the Copper
controlled Governor. The courts af-
forwards decided that this procedure
was uncalled for and restored the
civil government into the hands of
the people. Major Foote, who re-
sembles a Cossack, was one of the
leaders of Czarist rule in Butte at
the time.
George P. Porter, whom Dorman's
satellites endorsed for State Auditor
has held that position for some time.
Even the Dixon crowd admit that he
is a lackey of the A. c. NJ. He
sneezes every time Dan Kelly takes
snuff.

GREAT FALLS TO
HAVE LABOR STORE
Men Who Recently Established La
Dor Bank, Now Turn Attention to
Workers Store.

Great Falls is to have a workers
cooperative store.
The shares of stock will cost $40
each and viii carry with it an iden-
tfication card good for 10 per cent
discount on every dollars worth of
goods purchased by a stakeholder,
besides participation in the profits in
the way Of interest on the stock plus
further customers dividend.
A few months ago the organized
workers Of Cascade county organized
and established the Labor National
Bank, which institution has trebIed
its deposits since it was opened
three months ago and is still grow
ing by leaps and bounds. The bank
being such a success, the workers
and farmers have been persuaded
that they can by the same careful
management make the store a sue
cess the bank is.

COUNTY
SHOULD HAVE A
FARMERS BANK

= The time is ripe in Sheridan
County for a Farmers Nation
al Bank.
The bank should be a coop
erative institution and should
have for its aim service to the
people of the county.
At present most of the banks
IN the county are closed ana
: most of the rest of them are
: more or less defunct and be-
cause of the lax banking ,poh..
cy of Gov. Dixon, the people OF
: this county have been robbed OF
: thousands upon thousands OF
dollars Of their hard earnings,
: the blame for which can be laid
: to the Governors doors, so most
; of the people of the county
. rightly Go not patrOnize a bank
: at all, preferring to take
: risks in keeping their money
in their socks rather than take
= chances with broken banks and
= the State Banking Department,
which never fails to pursue
policy in behalf of the interest
of the big banks of the east, IN
allowing, willingly and know
ingly, the big banks of the east
to collect their loans out of the
deposits Of the crop money of
the farmers in these broken and
defunct banks.
3 However, banks are convent
ent. 1t is hard to get along
without a sound institution, and
Sheridan County surely needs
an institution Of that kind-an
institution that is solid, and that
does not practice burglary upon
= its customers at every Opportun-
ity, as some banks are doing
now with 10 per cent discount
On county warrants-just be-
cause they can and get away
with it-and this in spite of the
fact that money rates are cheap
er now than they have been for
the last 20 years.
A S25,0O0.00 institution would
fill the bill. Fifty people with
$500 each can put the deal Ov-
er. buy the buildings and the
fixtures of one of the local de
funct banks and open up for
= business, then run a bank and
not a pawn shop.
= There is a splendid opening
3 for a Farmers National Bank in
= Sheridan County-and such an
+ institution would pay a good di-
vidend on the money invested,
= while running on an honest, sane
basis.
The idea of such a bank is
very popular in the county and
it may not be long before q
Charter is applied for and steps
taken to open the bank.
There is also an opening for &
cooperative store in PlentywooC
on the basis of the store being
organized at Great Falls. FroiC

organization as the Independent par
tv. and that filings under such a head
have no existence. Mr. Juttner was
advised that if he desired to main
tain his candidacy, he could obtain
recognition under the provisions of
Section 615, of the revised codes of
1921, whereby candidates not nOmin-
ated by a regular political party can
secure placement on the ballot of the
general election by filing a petition
supported by the signatures of a suf-
ficient number of voters to at least
equal 5 per cent of the votes cast for
the successful candidate for the same
Office at the next preceding election.
This would necessitate the sigma
lures of 4,410 voters, that number be
ing 5 per cent of the vote cast N
1922 for United States Senator B. K.
Wheeler, SS.205.

he knows very little about poker or

orator or debater. We have

bate in our lives.
