A CORRECTION

Last week an item appeared in
this paper announcing the marriage
of Miss Huber and Harry Wonder
Itch of Outlook. The item bore a
Redstone date line and as it came in
the usual course it found its way to
the printer and in that way the pa
per and the two persons mentioned
above were made the victims of a
practical" joke. Miss Huber's let
ter denying the report is as follows:
Outlook, Montana.
February %, 1927
The Producers News,
PlentywOod, Mont.
Dear Sir:
In the issue of the Producers
News of February 25th, there was
an item announcing the marriage
of Miss Susan Huber and Harvey
Wunderlich.
This item was sent to you by
some one who deemed it a joke.
1t is not true. 1t has caused me
considerable embarrassment. AS
know you wish your paper to be
accurate and fair, l should appre-
ciate your publishing a correction
in as prominent a place in the pa
per as the false news item was
given.
Yours very truly,
SUSAN E. HUBER.

A Brutal Rejection.

A Brutal Rejection.
That the president would sign the
McFadden bill was a foregone con-
clusiOn. But that he would veto the
farm bill, and do so in the irritating
ly insulting manner which he chose,
was something of a surprise. In an
5000 word message accompanying
the veto, Coolidge gives as his first
reason the appointive power of the
president. The election of a farm
board is declared unconstitutional,
and an opinion to that effect by the
attorney general is enclosed in the
message. Secondly, the president
thinks the scheme will not work, and
thirdly, that it would be bad thing
if it did work.
The Technology of the message is
contemptuous and sarcastic. Cool
idge flays the farm bloc for singing
out only certain farm products fol
aid and, he says:
"It seems almost incredible that
the producers of hogs, corn, wheat
rice, tobacco and cotton should be of.
fered a scheme Of legislative relief il
which the only persons who are guar
anteed profit are the exporters
packers, millers, cotton spinners anC
other professors.
Hates Price Fixing.
Clearly this legislation involve
governmental fixing of prices. l
gives the proposed federal board al
most unlimited authority to fl
prices on designated commodities
This is price fixing furthermore Of
some of the nations basic foods an
materials. Government price fixing
once started has alike no justice an
no end. 1t is an economic folly fror
which this country has every right t
be spared"
Crudely Sarcastic.
: Clearly implying that the farr
bloc senators were fools and infants
T at least in economics, Coolidge raile
particularly against the equalizatiO
: tax as being law, in effect, tha
congress shall delegate to a feder;

Erected Sign
When the public came to realize
that a public building was leased to
private individual, there was wide
spread Indignation. This was not
lessened by the fact that the Land
company erected a huge advertising
sign on the corner of the structure,
diSfiguring the building and giving
the impression to strangers that the
institution was owned by the Mckee
Company instead of the public. Most
of the people living in town also got
incensed at this act of vandalism with
the result that the sign was forcibly
removed last summer. Matters were
not improved when Mckee hired Os-
car Collins and others to engage in
campaign of crOpgrabbing soon af-
ter. This resulted in Collins getting

Well Known COmertOwn Lady Passes
Away Following OperatiOn-W
Thought to Be Improving When
Heart Fails to Respond, Causing
Quiet Death.

Again Sheridan County loses one
of its pioneer homesteaders and a
lady known throughout the county,
when Mrs. Rose Gibson of north of
Comertown answered the last call at
the Kenmare Hospital, where she had
gone for an operation.
The deceased came to Sheridan
county when the prairies were wide
open, when navigation was by cow
trails and fences were rarely seen.
She has been engaged in farming and
cattle raising and has made a success
of her business and has stood the
hardsnips of the plains with as great
a fortitude as the strongest man. In
the COmeTtown country Rose Gibson
will always be remembered for her
kindness and help to those In need.
Her life work was characterized by
helping those who were less fOrtun-
ate than herself. Her reputation ov-
er the county has been gained by
her unrelenting stand against the
enemies of the farmer and the labor
ing man. Not being ashamed of hel
convictions and having the courage
| to PROFOUND them, many an article
has appeared in the Producers New!
written by Mrs. Gibson in which sh'
protested against the treatmen
which the farmers and laborers wer'
receiving.
Mrs. Gibson leaves a son, Dan Nc
Gowan Of Comertown and two daugh
ters, Mrs Nellie Severance of Min
neapolis and another, to mourn he
loss, beside host of loyal friends.

The Games
The tournament was officially op-
ened on Thursday evening when Ref
cree Frahm tossed the ball between
the centers of the Outlook and Pop
lar teams. This game started with
a bang, giving the audience an idea
of the high class ball to be played
through the tournament. Outlook
was considered the clark horse" of
the meet and for a few minutes had
the Poplar boys guessing. However,
Paul Lund covered Roy Homme and
stopped the Outlook offensive. lat
er Homme broke away and scored 19
points for his team. However, Tom
my Smith and Proctor outscored the
zone man" team of Outlook and the
final score showed Poplar winning by
a 1922 score.
Antelope ScObey 4
The audience awaited the second
game anxiously as the much discussed
Antelope team was to play Scobey.
Antelope with its large, experienced
men, had little difficulty in defeating
the Scobey midgets by 30-12 score.
Hoven for Antelope was the outstand-
ing player of the game, scoring twen-
ty points. H. Pugh, diminutive guard
on the Scobey team, shone for SEQ
bey and was one of the most popular
players with the audience.

SCHOOL ELECTION

neglected to tell about the results
of the school election. Dale Smith
of the Highlands was elected by
three votes over Phil G. Warnock.
Mr.. Smith received 169 to Mr..
Warnock's 166. About the only ar
gument involved in the election
was whether or not the board
should have another member who
was opposed to dancing.
Mr.. Smith also desires to ex-
press his thanks and appreciation
to those who voted for him.
