BARRIERS
GET UNION PRICES

Editor, Producers News:
The notice in your paper to the eff
feet that after December 18th, hair
cuts will be Csc and shaves, 35c,
both killing a dollar bill at one shot.
This happened some time ago by
the BARRIERS union throughout the
larger cities in the state. The Orga-
nized BARRIERS put up a hard fight and
spent their hard earned money and
their physical efforts to have it come
about. 1t took many a hard knock
and many abuses from many angles.
1t came from the main streeter, it
came from many other unorganized
bodies of the producing class, and
from others who call themselves pro
fessionals of one thing or the other.
There was no one to assist or keen
them encouraged but the organized
workmen of the several trades thru
out the state. Not a whimper or even
an echo of any financial aid or en-
couragement were heard from the av-
erage smaller town BARRIERS in the
different parts of the state nor did
they give them any help. 1t is well
known that the small town barber has
a hard time and needs more to have a
decent living, in fact all who produce
needs it but to kick on any one who
attempts to get more is not versed on
the condition that they are living in
1t is a well known fact that the aver
age small town barber shop has been
a propaganda center against all pro
ducers and farmers organizations
especially in this state. l would like
someone to explain why it is that ar
open shop barber shop comes in al
this time and takes advantage OF
Union BARRIERS prices after their hare
battle and trouble of getting it with.
out giving any assistance when they
needed it most. They should at least
Join the Union and put card in theii
shop If they are going to use the
union prices and help them to pave
the way in their future battles.
presume that as long as they have
used union prices on the mems hair
cuts and shaves that they will also
have the union prices on women's
hair-cuts. 3,
Yours,
JOHN J. McELROY.

Bandits Visit Yields
$22, 900 In Kansas Bank

Larned, Kan, Dec. 9.-Four ban
dts held up the First National bank
of Larned this morning and escaped
with $4,000.
The bandits kidnapped Leo Brown,
cashier, after they had forced him to
open the money chest in the vault.
The bandits took virtually all the
cash in the banks tills.
Brown was forced to ride with the
bandits for nine miles, then he was
unceremoniously kicked out of the car
near Garfield as the bandits sped
away to the south.

we've got some friends down south

Fine Stocks of Merchandise
In Plentywood Stores

Probably at no time in the history
OF PlentywOod and in fact Sheridan
county has there ever been such dis
plays of fine merchandise of every
KIND and description as can be found
IN the stores Of Plentywood at the
present time. Not only is there near
~ everything a person can think of
but the goods are cheap and the quail
lty exceptionally good. In fact there
are so many much larger towns that
cannot show the merchandise that can
now be found in Plentywood.
This fact is bringing more and
more people from all over Sheridan
county and this section of the coun-
try to Plentywood to do their buying
and shopping, thus making possible
the large and varied stock in the
PlentyWood stores. In fact Plenty
wood is growing rapidly. 1t has be-
come the most cosmopolitan small
town in the state of Montana or in the
state Of Dakota too, for that matter.
Everything can be found in Plenty
wood that can be found in a town five
times the size and it is the most fam
Gus small town in the state. Prob
ably no other town in the state does
the volume of business that Plenty
wood does. 1t is a live town in the
center Of the best agricultural section
of the state It's inhabitants are uF
and coming There is not a house ia
be rented in the city, and probably
forty families that wanted to move
into Plentywood have been unable tC
do so because of the lack of houses
One can hardly get a room here. Be
cause of this fact there is going to bt
large building program inaugurateC
next spring when a number of fine
homes will be built

prospering and its growth has onl!

The ARMED GENTRY

Denver. Colo, Dec. 1, 1927.-"A
squad Of state police was sent to
the Aguilar strike district from
WaIsenburg last night.
"Ihe officers were ordered to IN
yestigate reports that strikers had
been milling around all afternoon
and were in an ugly mood"
Extract from Denver press of cur
rent Gate.)
A committee Of strikers delegates
had occasion this afternoon to visit
the Aguilar and Trinidad districts.
They had read the above report and
were curious as to what might be in
the wind.
So far as the strikers were concern
ed, in and around Aguilar, there was
absolutely nothing untOward happen
ing, nor was anything out of the or
dinary contemplated.
Nevertheless a large detachment of
the states gendarmerie had 'been
milling around all afternoon and
seemingly were in an ugly mood"
A child does the obvious thing
this because the mind, being imma-
ture, is unable to elaborate complies
activity-press. And so with the
polizei. Mental ennuchs as they are
in endeavoring to create raisoI
d'etre, they do the obvious things.
From sector to sector, they rusl
about with great air of bravado ant

to do this than dash from point t.
point with an impressive show of ac

procedure is of course the employ
ment Of agents prOvOcateurs. Agains
activities of this kind, the strikers ar
constantly on the alert.
But it is on the periodic occasion
of moving and removing prisoner
from one place Of Incarceration to an
other, that the spectacular grotesquC

on the comic.

Of comparatively owned apartments as
r. division of the association was made
in order that an intensive program
may be developed for the further
standardization of this form Of real
estate financing, and in order that the
division may undertake a. movement
for securing recognition in the stat

Organizations Defined.
The association in the bylaws OF
it's new division makes a clear cut
definition of two types of organization
involving an element or tenant own
ership in apartment buildings. A CO
operative apartment property Is ue
fined as one where the entire equity
in the property Is pro-rated among all
the apartments according to their APP
praised value. and where UNIFORM
proprietory leases on all the apart
ments in the building (the 1anltors
APARTMENTS and ground and basement
floor. which may or may not be eX
cented). are issued to the several
stock or certificate owners by the cor
poration or trustee holding title TO
the property, for the respective oc-
cupanCy or use of said lessees.
A group ownership apartment buiid-
ing is defined as an apartment bullo-
ing owned by a corporation or oy q
trustee which has leased only por-
ton Of its apartments to its stock
holders or beneficial owners. and the
corporation or trustee is responsive
for the renting and shall be entitled
to the rents from the apartments not
so leased.
The executive committee Of the new
division is made up of the officers for
the year 1927. and. in addition, OF the
