WHAT THE WHEAT POOL HAS DONE
FOR FARMERS IN CANADA

We only have to go back a couple Of
years to show what effect the pool has had
on prices in Canada In October of 1922
before the time of the pool, No. 1 Northern
at Fort William sold at S1.OO 3-4. In Oc-
tober. 1928. also before the advent of the
pool, the same variety of wheat sold for
81 Sic.
Now lets see what happened the follow
ing two years, after the pool was on the
job. and try to figure out whether or not
the pool did anybody any good: No. 1
Northern at Fort William in October, 1924
sold at S1.59 -, and in October, last year,
the same grade sold for S1.27.
Crop conditions, grades, yields, etc, for
the four years mentioned were IN most
prospects the same. And on October J.
sold for S1.43 rs.
The Canadian wheat pool didn't just hap
pen TO grow like TOpsy. There was a real
need for it, and as a result they have today
the largest and Notwithstanding wheat
selling agency the world has ever seen.
If necessity is the father of invention, =
surely the Canadian wheat pool was Great
ed largely through necessity. Read again
the grain prices prevailing at Fort William
for the years 1922, 1928, 1924, 1925 and
1926, and then figure out if the wheat pool
has been a good thing for the farmers of
Canada
And then inquire of yourself whether a
pool would not be a good thing for the far
mers of America.
The Wheat Pool Of Canada was not just
created by the wish for it: coupled with
this wish was a viii to do, to act: so after
a lot Of hard work, and loyalty to the idea
and refusal to be whipped at the first mis-
take. the battle has been practically won
although there is still at lot Of fighting Il
DO yet before the Canadian grain speculat
ore are out OF business for keeps.

Montana Petroleum
Production Doubles in
Past Ten Months

WASHINGTON. - Montana's oil
fields produced more than twice as
much crude petroleum during the
first 10 months Of 1926 as in the same
period last year, according to sta
tistics prepared by the United States
Bureau of Mines. In the first lO
months of this year the total pro
ductiOn for the state. was 6,779,OOO
barrels, while only 3,217000 barrels
were produced in the same period IN
1925. The increase was largely due
to a large number Of completions Of
big wells in the Kevin-Sunburst field.

IN RE "SCUM OF EARTH"

.Angel-faced" Joe, erstwhle scion of Plenty
wood night life, has now turned purity crusader.
1t is a wonderful metamOrphosis.
This miraculous experience of Joe's is at last
an answer to the age old queery ''can leopard
cnange its spots?"
1t can! Or it can if Joe can change from rascal
and a scoundrel into saint so sudden.
Since the robbery of the Sheridan County Treas
1lrv. Joe's paper the Medicine Lake Wave has
aDpeared twice, with all sorts of 'wild-eyed
screeds," insinuatons and veiled charges concern
ing the county officials.
Joe has changed considerable in the past few
years: he has grown in experience and understand
Iag-and virtue.
He knows all about crime and criminals he says
and we reckon that he does: he has had lot Of
experience.
He at one time come back with $1,000 that he
stole from the county, and also paid for the seed
wheat which ne secured by felony.
And he now even scorns his old friends and as
sociates and chums, and refers to them "the
scum Of the earth" That is the sort of a sport
"Angel-faced" Joe is.
These friends were once the better element"
now they are "scum'-see old files of Pioneer
Press.
And Joe says Sheriff Salisbury and County At
torney Erickson are responsible for the robbery
because they have not chased mis- old time friends
out of the county.
There are several things besides the Sheridan
county robbery that Joe can tell about if he wishes
adventures that would make good reading and
guarantee him large circulation during the tell
ing:
For instance: he can tell of that night when
he and one of his former friends, whom he now
refers to as "scum" made night ride to Scobey
to secure clipping tongs, with which he cut the
lock to Zeidler's powder house to get dynamite
to blow up the Producers News plant that would
furnish a thrill for one week.
The next week he might tell all about the "gun
play" at his home at Plentywood few years since
when this same sheriff rushed over and saved hin
from murder at the hands of an intruder >
that story would guarantee him quite sale OF
papers.
Then he could add to the gaiety of the reader:
by telling Of his escapades with a couple of drunk
en- damsels on the table under the bright lights il
his front office a couple of pears ago the issue
telling of these adventures would sell like "ho
cakes"
Then if he wants to write further Of the theor!
of inside robbery he could tell of the inside, day
light burglary Of the Farmers State Bank deposit
ors, which funds were not covered by insurance
by his pals at Medicine Lake. That "hold-up" /
close at home where he can get all of the facts.
will make spicy reading and can be published as
"true story" It would be pleasing deviation 70
the weird yarns he is now publishing
Yes, strange things happenl
"Angel-faced' Joe is now "For God and the Con
stitution" and opposed to "Scum of the Earth"
That is the reason the "best elements" that
talks about snuggles up to him so fondly.
Joe may yet join the "Night Shirts" and 60

Decision by the Democratic leaders
in the Senate that they will not try
to have William B. Wilson seated in
place of William Ware as senator from
Pennsylvania when that contest comes
up in the next congress, is based up
on a study of the Ware methods which
resulted in the announced 175,000 ma
jority for Ware in November. The
Philadelphia boss offers no objection
to the impOunding and inspection Of
the ballots in his state; he knows
that they will tell no tales. The
ballots handled by the Democratic vot-
ers disappeared b e f ore the official
count took place, and ballots marked
for Ware are safely locked in those re-
Iceptacles as evidence Of his virtue.
Inquiry in the anthracite mine re-
gion as well as in Philadelphia has
convinced the Democratic senators
that Ware is too smart for them; he
controlled the Democratic as well as
the Republican election board mem
bers, and added 100000 votes in his
own territory without causing a rip
pie of astonishment.

Senators Wheeler of Montana and
Norris of Nebraska have promised to
bring up in the senate, when it meets,
the action of assistant secretary OF
state Robert E. Olds in secretly in
spring the three largest press asso-
citation in the United States to talk
Of Mexican and Nicaraguan liberals
as "bolshevistic."
Disclosure Of the use of the state
department as a propaganda mill for
American reactionary policy in Lat
in America has been made by the St.
Louis Post-Dispatch, in an article
copied by the Baltimore Sun and read
by everyone in public life in the cap
ital.
"A steady stream of bolshevist pro-
paganda has been filtering from
Mexico down through Central Ameri-
ca, aimed at property rights and de-
! signed to undermine society and gov
/ ernments as they are now constituted.
We feel that this picture should be
presented to the American people and
! l desire to ask for your advice and
cooperation toward that end" Olds
told the news agency men.
When one of the press men sug-
gested that the department make its
own statement to the public, signed
by Kellogg, charging that Mexico
government was bolshevistic, Olds Is
quoted as saying, you must realize
why the department cannot afford tC
be in a position of directing such {
serious statement against a govern
ment with which it is on friendly
terms"
Next morning the Associated Pres
carried a long story about Kellogg
recognition of the military chief Ad
olfo Diaz as president of Nicaragua
1t led off with the sentence: 'Tht
spectre of a Mexican-fostered Dol
shevist hegemony intervening be
| tween the United States and the Pan
anna canal has thrust itself into Am
Ierican-M Mexican relations, alread!
strained"
Norris said, q am going to Sc,
whether something cannot be done
about the state departments practic,
of putting out hostile propaganda ant
anonymous propaganda against gov
enments with whom we are OF
friendly relations"
Sen. Wheeler said Olds' action wa
characteristic Of the Kellogg regim
in the department, in its irresponsible
methods and its attempts furtively Z
prepare for a break with Mexico.
, Philippine independence pledge
made by congress and by Presiden
Taft, Roosevelt and Wilson in tn
past are dealt heavy blow By CoOl
idge in his message. He virtual
repudiates these pledges.
"The economic development of tn

Possibly the White House has dis
covered a Ware Democrat in the ma
tional capital. At any rate, President
Coolidge has appointed a member Of
the Bourbon party as a commissioner
of the District Of Columbia. This Sc
lection has been haled as non-partisan
act. and Senator Norris, apostle Of
nonpartisanship, has suggested with
ready humor that the G. o. P. spank
Coolidge for a breach Of party regu-
larity.
Since Coolidge is trying to break
down party discipline, says Norris,

/ ing TO get Frazier Of North Dakota
