GENEVA DISARMAMENT

HUGE NAVAL PROGRAM

Washington = (FP) - Congress-
Will be asked to appropriate a mini

bring the American cruiser strength
up to the British standard.
This is the first fruit of what the
correspondents now call the Geneva

having been dropped. Whether the
conference succeeds in its professed
aims or not, the people of the United
States will be forced to, dig down
deep INTO their pockets for a quarter
OF a million dollars for new cruisers
and their guns.
Propagandists in Washington for
the biggest navy are fairly shouting
with glee over the turn of events at
Geneva for they see success for their
demands, whether the treaty is SIGN

LABOR AND RADICAL
MOVEMENT In JAPAN
By FEDERATED PRESS

Toxic = (FP = The coming of

scheduled fer 1928, has proved an i'm
mense stimulus to the labor and
radical movements both in the cities
and among the peasants. In spite of
the many splits in the trade union
federations and political labor par
ties, activity has become intense. The
study OF MARKHAM and radical texts
is going on to an extent second onlv
to Russia. Recently 81 Japanese stu
dents were jailed for l year because
of spreading what is officially known
as dangerous thoughts, that is, rad
ical doctrines.
Organized labor is divided into 8
principal bodies. The A conservative
groups are the General Federation of
japanese Labor, founded in 1919,
which now has 10000 members; the
Federation of Naval Workers with
10000; the japanese Seamen's Union
with $4,000, and the Federation of
Workers in Government Undertake
ings with 13,0O0-a total of $4,000.
The 3 moderately advanced bodies
are the Natl. Federation of Trade
Unions with $4,000 members which
seeded from the General Federation
IN 1926; the Union of Toxic Munich
pal Tramwaymen with $4,000, and the
Stewards Federation with 70OO-a
total of $4,000
The radical Natl. Council of Trade
Unions with 10000 members seeded
from the General Federation in 1925.
The peasants are organized in the
conservative Federation of Pan-Ja-
panese Unions with 10000 members
(founded 1926; the somewhat less
conservative General Federation of
Japanese Peasants organized in 1927
with 5000 members; the moderate
Pan-Japanese Peasants Union Just
organized with $4,000 seceders from
the Japanese Peasants Union; and
the radical Japanese Peasants Union,
founded in 1922 as a moderate body
but at present under Communist in
fluence. with 10000.
There are therefore almost 100000
organized Japanese trade unionists
and $4,000 organized peasants.
There are A political parties cater
ing to these groups, of which the
radical Workers and Peasants Party
of Japan is most successful in gain
ing members. The others are the ia
panese Peasants Party, the less con-
servative Social Peoples Party and

The band, which has improved so
greatly this year, gave as the first

After that, the audience, led by Mr..
ID. ID. Moore, sang in unison the hymn
America the Beautiful" The ac-
compartment was by the Plentywood
Band, which played a special setting
arranged by Mr.. R. E. White, which
was very beautiful.
An eloquent invocation was then de-
livered by Rev. Calvert; and the Ord
ers of the Day were then given bv
Mr.. Al. M. Peterson, Commander of
the American Legion, who, in a few
words, told his audience that while
the ideals upon which the American
nation is founded had long existed.
this was the first nation that had
ever been founded upon those ideals.
and that it was the duty of all good
citizens to Sc that those ideals are not
lost or stolen from US.
The American Legion Octette then
rendered two excellent selections. and

Mrs. Opgrande then gave an i'm

and after a selection by the PLENTY

the Grafton of the day. His subject
was up From Darkness: and he
Traced the growth of liberty, freedom,
equality and brotherhood from the
dark ages, telling his hearers that
eternal vigllence is the price of liber-
ty; that citizens who do not guard
their liberties will soon find them
gone. He commended the farmers who
attended court few days ago when
the County Commissioners were on
trial. He commented upon the fact
that generally, at election time. onlv
ABOUT half OF the voters ever exercise
the electoral franchise. And he point
ed out the fact that, quite frequently
among the town people, when a So
called good citizen" is drafted for
jury duty at our terms of court. he
usually procures an excuse and does
not serve. That these, said Mr.. Lew
IS, are some of the reasons whv we
nave graft in war times, the attempt-
ed theft of our coal and forest lands
IN peace, and streets of MANY of o1r
great cities unsafe, often even bv
day, for the pedestrian who does NOT
carry machine gun. He quoted a
text from Galatians to establish his
point.
Mrs. c. C. johnson then sang "Give
us Peace" and for an encore "Mon-
tana."
Again led by Mr.. Moore, the audi
ence sang "The Star Spangled Ban
ner" and after the benediction by Rev.
Father O'Rourke, the audience passed
out, to seek the amusements of the
day.
The fireworks and the dance in the
evening drew hundreds of Sheridan
Countyites. All agreed that this was
one of the greatest celebrations the
County has yet had for the Fourth.
The number of booths and even side
shows, consisting of six legged horses
and other attractions helped entertain

MUST FIX
CHINA POLICY


London-(FP)-If Britain's re-
lations with China are broken off
when the Nationalists take Pekin.
1t will mean solid block from
the Baltic sea to the Pacific
ocean, comprising nearly half the
: population of the world unrecog-
nlzed by England, it is pointed
out by the British Labor Council
for Chinese Freedom. The coun-
: ell adds that half the world can
exist longer without England
than England can exist without
half the world.
The disastrous effect of this
large-scale nonrecognition policy
on British trade can be only too
readily imagined" the council
says. British labor will be the
first to suffer by the loss of its
markets."
The British government must
determine whether to evacuate its
subjects and legation from Pekin,
retiring to Tientsin on the coast,
or make an armed stand against
the Chinese Nationalists in Pc
kin and defend the railroad line
between Pekin and Tientsin, the
council explains. If Britain re-
tires to Tientsin it may refuse to
recognize the NatiOnalists as the
government of China even though
they hold the national Pekin.
At present British bankers are
making a good thing out of the
Chinese customs surplus which is
being held in their banks at
Shanghai and elsewhere because
the British inspector general of
customs is refusing to hand it
over to any of the several Chi
nese governments.

Apply Manure to Garden
Any Time During Winter

NeighbOrs all wonder at a good gar
den. They often ask: "Why isn't our
garden as gOOdY The only secret of
having a good garden is to make a
heavy application of good stable
manure. This manure may be applied
any time this winter. 1t should be as
free from weed seed as it is possible to
get. A load or two will not be one bit
too much to apply to the garden, even
though it is less than a half acre.
Stable manure furnishes several i'm
portant essential elements that are
necessary for the plant-growth. Be
sides the food for plants, and humus
material added to the ground by the
application Of manure, there is the ad-
ditional crop of beneficial bacteria.
These little plants are necessary for
other plant growths. They decompose
tear down, and make the food In the
soil available for the larger plants.
If one will realize that stable ma
nure is rich in nitrogen and contains
large amounts of potash, but is low in
phosphoric acid, he will readily under
stand that so per cent of acid phos-
