Discomfort of Farmers

TODAY the New York Times anents that Congress may

far away when we shall see the reward of hard
work and progressiveness of the past year. by
most of our citizens and that reward will be more
than commensurate with the scope of our labors
and fondest hopes.
Let us suggest here that our readers and sub
scribers give their continued patronage to those
merchants, advertisers Of the News, who have
made it possible for us to carry on our work for
the community, for we do not think that it will be
disputed that I'VE have given as we have receiv-

important institutions of Red Lodge and Carbon

years. we do not claim that they have been without

through which other new enterprises have some

jury has found forty boys in one
"snow" gang; thirty in another. One
father told me that he was very much
disturbed because the day before the
mother had found 'bindle' of snow
in their sons pocket. When asked
what it was, the boy said, 'sthis is
great stuff; got it down at the school.
The captain of the track team gives
it to all the boys. 1t was really
enough to get him started into addic-
ton, for heroin addiction is created in
the young in a week, as incredible as
this seems. One twenty-ffth of a
grain produces the drug effect in a
youth. AS time passes the dose re-
quired becomes greater and greater
at ever increasing cost. The young
slave hooked at almost no cost must
bring in more and more tribute to his
master as long as he lives"
When asked by the committee if the
building up of gangs was due to her
DIN or whether environment was fac
tor, Captain Hobson made this reply:

you an illustration. A boy twenty
years old called fluffy Reid was rec

mitted murder when he was eighteen.
His family was of high class and NOV

Before he died he made a statement

crime until they hooked me-. He al

CONG. DANIEL REED
TALKS ON DANGERS
OF THE DOPE TRAFFIC

The following article by the Con-
gresham from Missouri appeared in
the March number of the National Re-
public and contains information that
will enlighten the public, and we there
fore feel that it is we'll worth some
space in our columns:
Imagine, if you can, a plague or
pestilence abroad in the land that had
already gathered within its grip from
100000 to 100000 victims, and then
imagine what your state of mind
would be if this dread disease, pro-
nounced by experts to be incurable,
were spreading rapidly over the coun-
try. The presence of such a scourge
would enlist every agency, public and
private, to stop its ravages. There
would be no cost too much, no sacri-
fee too great to meet such a situation.
~ A recent hearing before the Com
mittee on Education disclosed the
presence in this country of such a
menace which has already claimed
from 100000 to 100000 victims.
The testimony of Acknowledgements ex-
perts showed that of all the plaques
this one is by far the most horrible
and the most deadly; it kills body, soul
and spirit. l refer to narcotic addic-
ton.
Among several distinguished men,
we had before our committee Freder-
lex A. Wallis, commissioner of correc-
ton, New York City, who said: Drug
peddlers are of all persons the vilest,
the most contemplate and the most
criminal The highwayman takes
either your money or your life. The
drug peddler takes both, for by de-
grees and rapid degrees, he ushers
unfortunate humanity into crime and
eternity. He is also a breeder OF
criminals and creator of crime. He
is far more dangerous than a man
running at large with a gun. The gun
man viii kill one or two people and
face the death penalty in the electric
chair for his crime. The drug ped
der stealthily kills the ambition, pois-
ons the mind, destroys the body anc
wrecks the home, and hands to society
a skeleton of human being, the most
detected and impossible Of all dere-
icts. Furthermore this peddler Of
drugs not only destroys the life of his
CLIENTELE but through their activities
the pestilence rapidly spreads, thus
creating new avenues of traffic for his
drugs.

Dogs New Picture Story
of Loyalty in the Wilds

A story of love and loyalty pitted
against hate and avarice in the great
north woods is running at the Iris
Theatre Thursday and Friday under
the title of North STAR" an Associat-
ed Exhibitors production, starring the
famous dog actor, Strongheart.
A boy with no friends, with the ex-
ception of his frail sister, is the victim
OF frame-up, perpetrated by one
Robbins, and fees, the dog accompany
ing him. They are separated, and the
dog finds a protector and friend in
Noel Blake, who rescues him from two
brutal tramps. Eventually North
Star, which is the dogs name, brings
Blake and the sister together, clears
the boy of the charge9against him,
and pursues Robbins until the latter
in his fright falls over the edge ofGa
precipice.
Virginia Lee Corbin, Ken Maynard,
Stuart Holmes and Harold Austin,
who hold the principal parts, are we'll
cast and give interesting and convinc-
ing interpretations of their roles,
while Strongheart, by virtue of his
simple and canine nature, is more than
convincing. He is himself, and with
the help of the others, carries the plot
through to a powerful climax.
Rufus King is the author of the
original widely circulated novel of the
same name, from which Charles Koran
adapted the plot to the screen.
North Star" is a Howard Esta-
brook production, directed by Paul
Powell, in which Strongheart appear
ed through the courtesy of Miss Jane
Murfin, his owner.
Others IN the cast include such we'll
known names as Clark Gable, William
Riley, sgd Crossley, Jerry Mandi,
Marie Faust and Jack Fowler.

AT THE AGE OF NINETEEN

Nineteen seems to be the age OF
magic-the year of achievement and
fame-for American girls.
In the public eye today are three
typical American young women-one
of whom won world fame in the hectic
business world, another in art, another
in sports. At the pinnacle of success,
and at the age of 10.
First, there is Gene Goldman, who
came to America from Roumania at
the age of seven. At 10 she was con-
Quoting a million-dollar real estate
business in Chicago. Today she is
proprietor of Is Offices, employees 600
men and women and her company IS
rated at $4,000,000.
Then came Helen Willis, California
whisp who became women's singles ten
mis- champion of the United States and
now is awaiting another battle with
Suzanne Lenglen tor the championship
of the world. And only 10.
At the moment, heralded by the
world as another Melba, comes Marion
Talley, 19-year-old Kansas City girl.
She is scoring tremendous success
in grand opera in New York.
What has brought these girls to the
top at little more than graduation
age? Equal rights? Or, the new free
dom in thought, new freedom in activ-
ity for women?
Something, surely. Yet there are
some folk who persist that today's
girls are skidding to the devil.

Spanish Shawls

Many a large back now bears a
Spanish shawl, for the shawls are back
in fashion. The newest specimens,
however, are no longer embroidered in
flowers of startling hue. The embroid
cries are done in silk of the same
shade as the shawl. Cherry red and
orange are especially favored for ev-
ening wraps and are very effective
over dresses of gold lace.

THE degenerate and lnhuman ard
INSCRIPTIONS villany of the drug ped
dler is all the more CHASTITY when we
know that the big professional peddler
of drugs will, under TO circumstances,
taste mis- own wares. He knows that
to taste the drug means destruction,
and thus out of the horrible wreckage
of human beings he reaps enormous
profits. Burglars and koldup men in
New York are going into the business
of peddling drugs because III their vest
pockets they can carry around thous-
ands of dollars worth OF drugs. No
punishment is too great for the snug
gler or peddler of drugs, because he
is not only numbering men and women
of today and children of today, but
generations yet unborn. He should
be given five years for the first
offense, ten for the second, and the
third should be life sentence with
out'commutation. Babies are born in
drug addiction, and, horrible as it may
seem, they actually begin life under
the influence of narcotic drugs, and
many of them at their mothers

The famous DR.. Howard A. Kelly, of
Johns Hopkins University, made this
statement: II feel l can say safely
that the medical profession views with

larly narcotics, heroin, morphine, CO.

when once formed, nor can they rea-
lie the tremendous distress it occa-
sions in the families from which these
poor victims have come, so I can as
sure you that the medical profession
will stand as a unit behind you in
any efforts made to bring this matter
effectively before the body polite of
this vast country and the world, and
they will also back up any proper re-
strictive measure which may seen

The testimony of Capt. Richmond P
Hobson, of Spanish-American Wal
fame, and now president of the Inter.

ton, brings the dangers very close
to the average home. He said: "Today
