DENTON CLAIMS

Milwaukee Agent Reports More Car

City-0thers Want Title.

Denton, Dec. 3.-The claim of Wat
ford City, n. D., to first place as a
primary market in the hard wheat
belt, if correctly stated in the Great
Falls Tribune, is contested by Den

waukee agent here.
According to the Tribune news
item from Williston, n. D., Watford

November II of this year. Mr.. Ram
( sey says that Denton mas shipped 39l
cars of wheat, totalling sos, 600
I bushels, between July and Novem-
/ Der II of this year. Mr.. Ramsey says
that Denton has shipped 39l cars OF
wheat. totalling $4,000 bushels IN
that period and that there are $4,000
bushels still stored in the elevators al
this point. 1t is estimated that be
tween $4,000 or $4,000 bushels are
vet in the hands Of the farmers In
this community.
For the year 1924, Denton shipped
$50 cars of wheat or about 1,035,OOC
bushels
"If, as stated in The Tribune's ar

TEAMS
PLAY CLOSE GAMES
Girls Team Wins From Teachers and
Town Team Wins from High School
Bows at Farmer-LabOr Temple.

Friday night was q big night for
the basketball fans of PlentywoCd
and they were out enmasse to take
i'm the games between local players.
While all the teams were from
brentwood, the games were fast and
contested with a rigOr that would
have been worthy in teams from 9th

/ The first game was between the

surprise both on their opponents and
the public with their excellent play

managed to keep ahead of their in

all times. The High School Girls
have the material for a splendid team
and with more practice will give any
team a hard time to win from them.
The girls won the game by a score
of 20 to II.
As soon as the girls game was I'm

a rush and commenced warming up
for the big game. In height the boys
were equal with the men, but were
not as heavy. What they lacked IN
weight. however, they made up in
vim and vigor.
From the first blow of the referee S
whistle it was plain that the town
team was out after the school boys

game to them a few night previous
PLAYING desperately the boys, howev-

NOT WAGES IN PRICE
STANDARD

The theory that high wages are re-
sponsible for high prices is the prof
iteers' alibi, but this was attacked
from an unexpected quarter in the
recent campaign.
The Republican national committee
circulated a four-page pamphlet en-
titled "Some Plain Facts About Pro-
lection and Prosperity" The pamph-
let emphasized that high prices are
based on what the market will bear,
and not upon production costs.
In defending his position that the
tariff does not "add a nickel to an
Americans cost of living" the author,
George B. Lockwood, found it neces-
sary to expose profiteers and to shat
ter their favorite defense that high
wages cause high prices. Mr.. Lock
wood insisted that prices are based on
what the people can pay. With as
tonishing frankness, he said:
''The peculiarly ignorant assump-
ton of the -protectiOnists is that
prices paid by consumers are based
upon production costs. The truth is
of course, that they are merely fixed
in most instances, by what the mar
ket will bear.
Permit the, importer to enter the
American market without payment OF
duty on a given commodity, and he
does not sell in this market at the
foreign price plus the freight and g
fixed percentage Of profit. He mere
! lV undersells the American producer
just enough to get the business.
"The wholesaler and retailer do not
deliver commodities to the consumer
at a lower price merely because they
can buy them more cheaply abroad
than at home. They charge what the
people will pay, and the price is reg
ulated by the purchasing power Of the
people"

4 Not Enforce School Bible
eadine Declares Rev. K. R. Close

lie schools should not force a partlcu-
lar religious book upon the children
of free men and women of different
faiths. Ohio should preserve the
American tradition of religious free
dom.
can amendment to authorize COM
ment in connection with the reading
of the passage is desirable from an
education standpoint, but does not
change in the slightest the undesirable
principle of the bill. :,
"Bible reading and comment should
be voluntary. If a teacher and her
pupils want Bible reading and com
ment they already have the right.
The Bible is the storehouse of the
ideals of the race, and children should
know it's lessons. That is precisely
the reason that an attempt by the
state to force the Bible upon its cit
izens. with the creation of a hostile
reaction, is unwise, un-American, and
opposed to the purposes and methods
of Jesus"

SHORTER DAY GAINING

= The dreams of the pioneer union
labor agitators are being realized.
For the first time in the history
Of American industry, the majority of
wage earners are working 48 hours a
week or less. In 1919, at the conclu-
:sion of the war, AZ per cent had gain
:ed the eight-hour day, but now the
percentage has crept over the dividing
line and stands at 81, according to
the census bureau.
The rapid strides of advance can
be clearly seen in the fact that only
10 years ago but II per cent of
American toilers enjoyed the eight
hour day. Only 2.5 per cent of the
organized workers in factories now
endure a working day longer than 10
hours, but still one-fourth of the men
and women tabulated by the govern
ment statisticians are at their ma
chimes 9 to 10 hours a day.
In the vanguard are the printers
and many other we'll organized trades
with a seven-hour day, while many
of the building trades have declared
Saturday a complete holiday. In
creasing leisure to enjoy the good
things of life is permanent gain for
working men, as contrasted with tenn
porary wage gains, which are conceled
out eventually by advancing prices.
Iron and steel blast furnaces, steel
workers and rolling mills, paper and
wood pulp mills, lumber camps and
mills, cotton mills, railway repair
shops are now the worst offenders

WHERE "MACCABEES" GET
THEIR NAME

Archaeological interest has been
awakened in the origin of the name
"Maccabees" in connection with plans
of the fraternal order of Maccabees
for its international automobile car
avan to Washington next summer, ac-
cording to A. w. Frye, supreme COM
mander of the society.
"The 'Maccabees' was the name OF
family in Palestine in the second
century before Christ which fought to
establish Jewish independence against
the expressions of the Seleucid dy-
nasty of Babylon" said Mr.. Frye.
"After the revolt of 166 B. c., Judas
Maccabaeus, leader Of the family de-
feated the Syrians in three battles, re-
conquered Jerusalem, purified the
temple of its pagan deities and re-
stored the worship of Jehovah.
Judas Maccabaeus was slain in 161
B. c., and was succeeded by his
brother, Jonathan, who was raised to
the dignity of high priest, but was af-
forwards treacherously murdered at
Ptolmais in 144 B. c. His brother
Simoa succeeded to the leadership of
the commonwealth, ruled forS seven
years, and completely established the
independence of the Jews. John Hyr-
canum, son of Simon was the next
ruler. He renewed the alliance with
Rome, conquered Idumaea and took
the title of king of the Jews in 107,
B. C. Judea became a Roman prov
ince in 63, B. c."
Mr.. Frye declared the Maccabees
caravan will bring 10000 people in
$500 automobiles to Washington next
summer from every state of the un-
ion and all provinces of Canada for
the society's quadrennial convention.
