FARMERS, SUPPORT YOUR PAPER

At this time of the year many papers put vigor-
Gus campaigns and offer huge prizes to induce girls to
solicit subscriptions for their paper This is an old
time method of boosting weak subscription lists or COW
ering new territory In the race to win the prizes
offered the candidates often persuade tn unwary person
solicited to subscribe for paper they neither are IN
terested in nor care about but wish to help the cand
date win the high honors
There are at this time in Sheridan county, two in
dvidua contests being staged by the farmers pa
Polk of Wiliston.
Both of these papers are published in Plentywood,
one stands for the farmers interests and the other
stands for private gain and supports those who are
fighting the farmers movement
The Producers News has circulation of 5000 at the
present time which speaks we'll for the popularity of
this paper. Another thing to be remembered is that
the Producers News is owned by 600 farmers. That
the money you send into this paper is spent right here
in Sheridan county and does not go to publisher who
lives in another state. There is reason why the
farmers paper should not stand up for the farmers
interests at all times, and with the board of directors
made up entirely of farmers, that policy is assured
during the existence of the Producers News. AT the
same time the Producers News beves in square deal
for all and the small business is just worthy
of protection from the big interests who slowly
throttling him as all other producers But in look
ing at the other side of the publicity which might be
received in your home the coming year, you are first
getting a paper published by a private enterprise for
profit His interests in direct connection with the
who looking for private profit like himself.
The county is filled with who always cast
ing greedy eyes the county treasury figuring out
means by which they get their fingers into
the golden Golfers These naturally have to line up
with some in the newspaper business to put men
across that they reach by their influence.
Already this can be seen in the offing. While the
yVi,c1 T1ers1ld has LOT wade anv great no.
cal spurges everyone knows where it stands and its
attack on Taylor and Salisbury has already put its
brand on that paper catspaw for the old gang tina
has ALWAYS fought the farmers movement.
If the farmers and taxpayers wish to give up thei
knew nothing of the affairs going the count
they can do so by assisting the opposition in this
paign by subscribing for their organ and refusing
again subscribe for the Producers News.
But the residents of Sheridan county do not war
this to happen. They went through the mill once an
they have had taste of publicity that has put the
wise to county and state government, and they will
er go back to olden times when the selfish interest
few people ruled this county and the gang that rule
also saw to it that they received only the pubici
they wanted them to have until the treasury of Il
county had shrunk to than nothing through Il
drains made upon it by the gang in power, when t
farmers and workers up and with their papt
broke up the ring and have been gradually reducing
Indebtedness ever since.
Farmers and workers support your paper You m
be sure the opposition will support theirs.
