EASTER PROGRAM AT LUTH-
ERAN CHURCH WAS BIG EVENT

The Lutheran church was crowded
20 the doors at the early morning ser
vice Easter Day. Many were reQuir-
ed to stand when additional chairs
proved insufficient to accommodate
all. Some were unable to gain en-
trance. The church was beautifully
decorated with ferns, Easter lilies
and cut flowers which did much TO
increase the festive spirit. The ser
mon topics was Easter JOY" in which
the Pastor gave his reason for true
Easter JOY. The rendition of the
Canada was a marked success and
was very much enjoyed by all who
had the pleasure Of hearing it. The
Easter breakfast served in the church

was very satisfactory and highly ap-
preciated by all Thanks to the La

treating the large crowd to the best
things in the pantry on Easter Day.

SAID COMPLAINANT THERE
FOR PRAYS, That a warrant be IS
sued for the arrest Of the said Matt
Patterson and that he may be dealt
with according to law"
While Patterson Is charged with
issuing a check without sufficient
funds there is 'mOre to" this case
than appears on the surface.
Patterson is Horse Man.
1t appears that Patterson came to
Plentywood some time ago and looked
things over. He attend the Tractor
show and saw the advantages of DOW
er farming. He called on the Peter
son Company and showed them how
they could put Tractors on the farms
OF men who had not enough money
for the down payment. The next thing
that happened was that Patterson was
selling Allis-Chalners Tractors all
over the county in exchange for
horses as part payment. Ray Lang
saw the Peterson tractors move out on
the farms and carloads of horses 90
east to Minnesota where the Peterson
Company sold them and got the
equivalent Of the first payment on the
tractors and sometimes y more. All
this time the Fordsons were living
idle on the floor Of the Lang Motor
Sales.
Ray Copies John d. Rockefeller
A brand new idea found Judgment
in the brain of Ray. He had heard
Of how John d. Rockefeller bought
clever employees. Why could not he
do the same? He talked to Mr.. Pat
tersOn and soon that gentleman was
calling on farmers and telling of the
glory Of FOrdson tractors and how
they could exchange their nags for a
horse with CUTS Of steel and gas blood.
He did land Office business. Finally
he had a lot of horses on hand and he
decided that it was time to unload
them on the farmers Of Minnesota.
He shipped two carloads and himself
and sent Ray a check for 1878 and
told him that the remainder would
come to Plentywood as soon as he dis
posed Of the horses. Ray waited for
a reasonable length Of time and then
tried to cash the check. It came back
with the legend "No Funds" neatly
stamped across the back. The balance
Of the price Of the horses did not come
either and Mr. Lang had to 90 down
to Minnesota to look for his Horse
man. He got him arrested at Roseau.
Mimi, but he told the sheriff that he
was wiring PlentywoOd to "draw on
him at the bank and everything would
be alright. His story was so good
that the Sheriff in Minnesota lust
couldn't inconvenience such q respec-
able looking citizen by keeping him
IN custody. He released him at
Crookston and the last that was seen
Of Patterson was that he boarded a
train headed for st. Paul. ANYWAY
Ray wired for a warrant and the war

Commissioners Did Not Complv
With Law.
Meanwhile dozens of petitions were
being circulated and signed request
ing the County Commissioners to re-
move Mckee and pointing out that
his retention IN a Public building was
against public policy. A resolution
was sent in stating that the Offices
were rented to Mckee without com
plying with legal requirements; that
the building was not first condemned
Tor public purposes; that the renting
was not advertised and therefore tax
payers were not given an equal op-
portunlty to rent and that the rental
OF $50 for the finest Offices in town
were inadequate. Two commissioners

ter Of Gary Indiana. over three hun
bred workers packed the hall to the
walls to greet the liberated rebel and
hear him tell the story of the struggle
for Mexican freedom and of his years
in a capitalist prison.
In his talk Cline related the history
of the case in which he, Captain Jose
M. Rangel and number of other Mex
lean rebels were involved, and traced
the steps in the persecution and prose
cution Of these men who had organized
a group to carry on the fight against
Mexican tyranny. He pointed out that
only after they had served terms Of
thirteen years in prison did the gov.

they had committed no crime, but had
done only what those fighters for
Texan independence, Bowie, Travis
and Crockett, were famous for doing.
The audience. in which there were
numbers Of Mexican workers, listened
attentively and cheered frequently.
Cline appealed to the workers to Join

Labor Movie of Famed
Passaic Mill Strike

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. 2O.-The
great textile strike Of 1925, the strug-
giles between the workers and the
police, in which mounted and armed
police rode into and fired on the
crowds of strikers, and flremen turned
fire-hoses full force on the picket
lines; the suffering and privation that
the strikers have endured, the splen-
did spirit of solidarity that they have
displayed; the tremendous mass meet
ings of the strikers, the relief kitch-
ems and relief headquarters which
have dispensed aid daily to the work
ers in their nine-months' struggle, the
picket lines of men, women, and chill
dren; all these pictures have been
made into a graphic record of the
most moving event in working class
history of America in the last few
years.
The "Passaic Textile Strike" is
thrilling moving picture showing con-
ditions in the textile strike OF the
country. All Cleveland workers will
be glad to learn that the film is to be
shown in Cleveland on Friday, Oct.
20, at Engineers Auditorium, On.
tario and st. Clair AYES. All workers
should see this picture, not only to
learn the truth about the strike, but
to be able to help the strikers in their
fight. There will be two showings of
the film, at 700 p. m. and 300 D. m.
All workers are invited.

Continue Support to
Brutal Strike Cops

PASsAIC, N. J., Oct. 2O.-Taxpayers
of Garfield, N. j., are still to be made
to pay out their money to help break
the textile strike. At meeting Of the
Garfield city council held this week
S17,5O0 was appropriated "for the
added needs of the departments under
the supervision of the safety commit
tee, of which Jack Moro is chairman, :"
This extra appropriation, says the
Passaic Daily News, was necessary
because of the increase in the police
department since February, due to the
strike and the disorders"
Councilman Joseph Quinlivan intro
duced a motion asking for the dis
charge of the special police officers
but the motion was lost. There are
ten of these strike-breaking cops on
the Garfield police force.

The answer Is, somewhat over 2 CEN

Workers have acquired thru these
