POLLUTING THE CHILDREN

In spite OF the overwhelming victory won at the polls last
year by the friends constructive Americanism, the communists
and the other forces seeking to break down the American Con-
sttutlon n still busy. One of the most dangerous plans now
being tried out by the reds is that which has for its purnose
the lining up of the children of America in the socialistic move
ment:. 1t is the purpose of this plan to teach the children to
dlsbeheve all stories OF patriotism, to hate the flag and to refuse
to support the American government.
AT a recent Soviet meeting in New York attended bv Is 600
people who paid fifty cents a head to get in, Jack Shatchel. an
organizer of the Young Workers Communistic league. declared:
We are trying to organize the children of the working class,
for In the schools they are taught to be traitors to the workers.
Fourteen years old, Morris Sector, of Brooklyn, a pupil in
the public schools and an organizer for the Young Workers
league, furnished the climax of the meeting when he addressed
400 school children seated near the platform.
Down with capitalism down with it's system; up with the
Soviet republic the youngster shouted, while the other children
cheered and the big audience broke into voneys of applause.
1t was evident that the boy had been taught the speech by
an older communist and had committed it to memory. The red
workers have numerous young agents of this type at work,
trying to teach the youngster that patriotism is something to
be ashamed of, that the American government means bondage
for the workers and that the only system of government is that
which is now in vogue in red Russia.
Patriotic Americans cannot afford to overlook this new,
menace.

by national economy and decrease in governmental exnendi-

taxpayer should see to it that every reasonable economy is
pIactlced at home as well as at Washington. To the ordinary

WORLD is NO MANS DEBTOR

The man who believes the world owes him a living can
never collect: The world owes no one a living. 1t will yield all
that is required for human sustenance, comfort and happiness.
but it has its price and that price must be paid before the de-
livery of the goods.
A man adhering to the theory that the world is indebted
to the human race and insisting he was going to collect the
living due him in any way possible was sent to Jail in a Cali
fornia city as a vagrant: The man pays instead of collecting.
The public may provide him with temporary shelter and some
thing to eat, but he pays for it with his liberty and his self
respect.
Doubtless there are deluded persons who do not believe in
individual effort as a necessary factor to human existence. But
If their theory held good there would be no progress, no develop
ment, and the march of civilization never would have started.
1t has been said that it is not all of life to live, and if that were
not true there would be no incentive to achieve. Human energy
must be directed toward accomplishing greater and greater
things as time wears on or our social structure would fall and
civilization would stagnate.
The world parcels out its bounty according to individual
effort, but there must be that effort or the bounty is withheld.
1t is fanacy to assume that something may be had for nothing.
The drone pays the highest price and receives the least-San

promises to the demagogues, and to tackle his job in a con-
.structive way.
The Secretary expressed the belief that agriculture is now
on the upgrade, but he INDUCED in no vain optimism, and de-
clared that no millennium is at hand. There is no panacea for
agricultural relief, he stated, and the farmers improvement can
only be made permanent by hard pulling. Congress can help, but
Legislation cannot accomplish everything. 1t can only help the
farmers to help themselves, and then it must be sound legisla.
ton, and not the kind that is calculated to do more ultimate
harm than good.
Mr.. Jardine expressed the opinion that cooperative market
ing associations, efficiently operated, will be helpful in elimin-
ating waste in the marketing process but absolute elimination
of the middleman is neither practical nor necessary. Expecting
the consumer to pay more was not the end in view, he declared
but instead the wiping out of some of the useless cost of getting
the produce from the farmer to the consumer.

MUSIC IN THE SCHOOLS

That musical training in the school pays vas clearly
demonstrated on Friday evening of last week when Professor
R. w. Cooper presented the Cody high school gee clubs and
band in concert. More than fifty students participated in the
three programs given by the two gee clubs and the band, and
the talent which has been developed in each of the organizations
clearly demonstrates that the students of the local schools are

ED GIFTS SUCCUMBS
TO OLD AILMENT

The Herald being delayed day, it
is possible to announce the extreme
ly sad news of the death of Edward
GIFTS which occurred Friday, June s.,
at eleven o'clock a. m. A second o.
peration for abcess was performed
Wednesday. Following his operation
few months ago he slowly recover
ed and was taken home and even
made few trips to the business
portion of town. But new abcess
formed and his condition became cri-
tical. A second operation was per-
forme as last hope.
The death of this splendid citizen
and beloved friend and neighbor is a
shock to the community and a cause
of universal sorrow. At the time
this is written arrangements have not
been completed for the funeral and
the data for more extended notice
cannot be gathered for this issue.
Later Funeral services will be
held at the Catholic church Monday
forenoon.

Fish Planting By Two
Local Men Successful

Three years ago R. L. Stephens and
J. B. Switzer planted $4,000 young
trout in Wolf Greek, 1900 in the
reservoir and 1000 in Tulle Creek.
During the time which has passed
they have heard from various sour
ces that their efforts were successful
but had never obtained any direct
evidence Of it. Recently the first
proof of the success of their work
came when local boy brought | 1a
pound trout into Mr.. Stephens, which
he caught in a nearby stream. AS
there are no native trout here Mr..
Stephens and Mr. Switzer are GER
tain that it is some of their work.
Judge Charles Gordon wrote to the
state fish and game department of
the success of the venture and re-
ceived letter few day ago saying
that a shipment of young fish for
planting in streams would be sent to
Wolf Point about August /. If the
local people so desire. They would
be sent from the hatchery at Great
Falls.

$50 Big is a big theme but much
bigger than words can describe Emo

folds. Read the book and after you

how big is $50 Big" and you'll find
your answer is "bigger than any

Progressing Slowly

Oscar Olson says this rain will

afford to join the Golf Club. Too
muddy just now for work on the new
course, but it will not take long af-
ter the weather clears. Everybody
who looks it over say it is a mighty
interesting course and all are anxious
to try it out. But here is a sugges-
tion quite generally concurred in.
Let's all begin play on the new course
on a fixed day ard each keep an ac-
curate score for each hole and turn
it in to the secretary. The lowest
score made by anyone for each Of
nine holes, and the total of them will
thus become a sort of actual play par
and will be targets to shoot at. When
the record for a hole is lowered let
it be noted by the secretary and by
the end of the season par for the
course will be at low point.

Stolen Car From
Shelby Located Here

A stolen car from Shelby was To-
Gated in Wolf Point the early part of
the week by local officials. Two boys
who gave their names as Dixque were
driving it. They were not arrested
and the next morning after their in
terview by the police, took French"
leave. The suspicion of the officials
were aroused when a Ford licence
was discovered on a Nash. The Ford
licence has been the property of
man named Johnson who lived in
Shelby and the two boys claimed it
belonged to their father who took it
off his Ford and placed it on the
Nash.
