A HIGH TARIFF
MEANS INDUSTRY

One of the principal issues in the
| present presidential campaign
should be the tariff question. And
regardless of politics, race, color
or previous condition of servitude,
every voter in the states manufact-
uring any considerable quantity Of
textiles and shoes should stand in
unwavering formation in favor OF
tariff protection. If they don't
larger and still larger foreign i'm
portations of textile fabrics and
shoes will further cut down the de-
mand for American-made products,
in which event fewer and still fewer
textile and shoe workers will be en-
ployed in this country.
The payroll of textile mills and
shoe factories, when operating full
time, means not only a livelihood
but greater prosperity in fifteen tex
tile states and seven or eight shoe
producing states and hard times in
these same states when those mills
and shops are closed or operating
on reduced schedules.
Various reasons are given for the
general depression in the textile
business and hectic conditions in
the shoe trade, but we believe that
one of the principal causes is the
large influx of foreign goods. A
study of these importations for the
past five years can lead to no other
conclusion. But so long as people
in the north and south are split on
the tariff question the condition will
not be properly remedied. There is
enough cloth and yarn coming into
this country every month from
abroad, says Fibre and Fabric" to
change shOrt-time operation to full
time in practically every textile mill
in this country and this means mil
lions of dollars in wages each year
paid to foreign labor, more millions
to foreign shareholders, and so far
as the consumer goes, there is not
cent of gain in the price or value of
the foreign goods bought in the
shape of suits, dresses, overcoats
and cloaks.
The same condition obtains in the
shoe industry. The foreign shoes
dumped annually on these shores
would keep every shop in New Eng
land running full tilt twelve months
a year. And the startling thing
about it is that more foreign-made
shoes are coming over each month.
These shoes are made by labor that
in many instances work for from
fifty to seventy-fve cents a day.
which enables the European manu-
facturer to produce them in COM
petition with the American-made
product and to sell them cheaper.
We are now in the midst of an
other great national political cam
Daign and the tariff is sure to be a
eading issue. For self-preserva-
ion, for the protection of their Jobs

used to good advantage. Without
a sweet soil alfalfa will never do its
best. If there is any doubt about
the need of lime, the question should
be settled before time and money
are wasted in an effort to get alfalfa
started. No other forage crop re-
quires so much lime as does alfalfa.
Alfalfa should be sown about the
10th of August in Sussex. When
sowing do not forget incubation be-
cause it never hurts, usually helps
and often essential.

Christian Science Churches

NCOD THE PRESERVER OF
" MAN" was the subject of the
Lesson-Sermon in all Churches OF
Christ, Scientist, Sunday, June 10.
The Golden Text was from Psalms
94:22, "The Lord is my defense, and
my God is the rock of my refuge"
Among the citations which com.
prised the Lesson-Sermon was the
following from the Bible; THE Lord
is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade
upon thy right hand The Lord shall
preserve thee from all evil; he shall
preserve thy soul. The Lord shall
preserve thy going out and thy com
ing in from this time forth, and even
for evermore" (Psalms 121: 5, z, 81.
The Lesson-Sermon also included
the following passages from the Chris
tian Science textbook, Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures"
by Mary Baker Eddy, THE history of
Christianity furnishes sublime proofs
of the supporting influence and pro.
tecting power bestowed on man by his
heavenly Father, omnipotent Mind
who gives man faith and understand.

SCOBEY WINS
FIR s T GAME
FROM LOCALS

Scobey ball fans here last Monday
were a cheerful bunch and they had
reason to be. To win from the Plen-
tywood baseball team should make
any club happy, and win they did.
The visitors played sterling game
and their hitters We're all working at
their best. This, and the pitching of
their new man Sealy, made their vic
tory possible. Scobey's Indian curve
artist allowed the Plentywood boys
but two hits and his catcher had
plenty of trouble in holding his fast
shoots and breaks. One pass ball
accounted for our only score, advanc-
ing the runner from second to third
followed by steal at home.
This was the fourth game between
Plentywood and Scobey this season,
Plentywood taking the first three by
safe margins, only one of them being
more decisive, however, than Scobeys 5
win of 6-1 on Monday.
These two clubs are very evenly
matched. We have the best balanc-
ed club but what Scobey lacks in
fielding they make up in hitting and
on the mound.
On Tuesday, June 19, these two
teams will play again here at Plenty
wood and another hard fought battle
is looked for. 1t is rumored that SEQ
hey has signed couple of new play
ers to strengthen its weak spots and
that they will have a harder team
than ever to beat But Plentywood
has the club that can do it and will
do it if the breaks of the game are
anywhere even.
Both clubs seem to have trouble in
securing satisfactory umpires. rms
should be taken care of and umpires
secured who will call the plays as
they are and give both teams what
they have coming in strikes and balls.
Poor umpiring can spoil good game
and neither Plentywood or Scobey
can afford to have games become
continual arguments between players,
umpires and managers.

Group a Bankers
Meeting Here Is
Attended By Many

The bankers OF Sheridan, Daniels,
Roosevelt, and Valley county, consist
ing Of Group Four of the Montana
Bankers Association, held their an
nual convention at Plentywood on
Monday June II.
H. X. Cunningham president of
the Montana Life Insurance company
Helena, was the principal speaker
both morning and evening. His sub
ject Montana an Empire of Oppor-
tunity,' was one on which the speak
er was we'll posted and his talk was
one which gave the bankers more
courage to face the problems which
every small town banker must con-
front.
A. A. j. Lochre, superintendent OF
Banks, Helena, talked on Banks and
Banking" making the members more
familiar with the state and national
laws governing their Institutions and
what the state examiner expected OF
them.
Howard M. Lewis made the address
OF welcome for the city and j. W
Schnitzler of Froid responded for the
bankers, after which reports of the
various counties were given by the
bankers. Carl Bull made the Sheri-
dan report which indicated the prom
inent place Sheridan held in the ag-
ricultural life of the state.
!. d. O'Donell, farming expert,
talked on farming and farm manage
ment, showing how the banker can
help each of his farm patrons to big
Ger and better farming life.
The report of the association was
then given by the president, Elroy
Westbrook, followed by a general
discussion. The last order of the
business meeting was the report of
committees and election Of officers
for the ensuing year.
In the evening the banquet was
held in the basement of the Catholic
church where Miss Emma Kollman in
vocal numbers, Miss Halle Wheeler,
accompanied by her sister, and Ro-
land Olsen, Forrest and Henry Good
man delighted the diners with the
genuine old time music.

Chi|dTens' Camps

parents of children who are l0
per cent or more underweight, Will
be given a wonderful opportunity TO
send the children where they Will re-
gain their normal weight and health
under the most delightful conditions
when five Sunshine Camps Will De
opened in Montana this summer for
these under-nourished children,
said Sara e. Morse, executive secret
ary of the Montana tuberculosis AS
sociation which has inaugurateo
these camps. Tuition is only $lt
a month, which will cover the Cost
cf the food. In the case Of parents
who can not meet this expense there
are organizations and individuals
who have signified their interest IN
childrens welfare, and Will defray
this expense. The Montana TubercI-
losis Association is financing the ad-
ministration costs, which Include a
nurse, recreational director, ana
cook in each camp. In BllllLsS ana
Lewistown the Kiwanis Clubs have
donated permanent camps, consisting
of attractive screened buildings With
fireplaces and large, open porcnes-
At camp Gallatin, the American Leg
ion is furnishing cots and tents. AL
Camp Sunshine, at Epworth, Rich
land county, the National Guard is
furnishing cots and tents. AT Camp
Cascade. at Neihart, the equipment
of tents, cots, dining hall and kitchen
came as last year as contribution
from the Seven Day Adventists and
Epworth League of the Methodist
church. Children from other coun-
ties than these five will be admitted
in a limited number to the camps
Already several have made arrange
ments, and the applications of others
will be considered in the order in
which they are received by the Mon
tana tuberculosis Association.
All children who enter the camps
must have their physical defects
corrected before goinng to the camps
in order that they may respond to
the sunshine treatment, since no
child suffering from diseased tonsils,
adenoids, or similar conditions can
make the proper gain.
"In every community of Montana
there are children who would bene-
fit by living under the healthful
conditions that will prevail in the
Sunshine Camps said Mrs. Morse.
THE system of recreation, rest,
sunbaths, and well-planned, nourish-
ing meals will do much to build up
the under-nourished child, who is al
ways more susceptible to disease,
and will do much to prevent the de-
velopment of tuberculosis and other
infectious diseases. Gratifying re-
suits were obtained in our four
health camps of the two last years.
and We know that equally as success
full results will be obtained this year" ;"
Camps open June 29th and will
continue for two months.

Senator Charles \. Williams
Visits Here While ON Tour

, Plentywood had a distinguished
visitor last Friday in the person of
former State Senator Charles h.
Williams of Deer Lodge who is a
Montana pioneer. president of the
Montana Wool growers association
and one of the outstanding stock
man cf the west, his 40,000-acre
ranch al Powell county, devoted to
sheep and cattle raising and hay
and grain farming, being one of the
showpIaces of Montana.
Senator Williams is candidate
for the Republican nomination for
United States senator and is making
an automobile tour of the eastern
half of the state meeting old friends
and making new ones. He is ac-
compaDied by w. w. Gail of Billings
and during the last three weeks has
visited almost every county in
southern and eastern Montan !, be
ing now headed west along the high
line. The senator, who is an author
ity on livestock and farming, has
addressed service clubs or dinners
arranged in his honor in many of
the towns he has visited. and while
here he declared that he was tre-
mendouslv impressed by the evid
ence of farm prosperity in this dis
trict. Nowhere in Montana. he said,
are TO be found more attractive
farm homes and buildings, and
conditions are so Numerically op.
poslte to those depicted by sundry
eastern magazine writer's who have
led people to believe that this is a
dry land" country that you folks
here would seem to haya sound
grounds for bringing actions libel
against knockers.
The Deer Lodge visitor also COM
mented upon the roads in this end
of the state which. he said. are as a
whole far superior to those in west
ern Montana. Highways" he said,
,,are the surest index of the pro.
gressiveness of community"

Legislation Enacted to
Eradicate tuberculosis

A number of states enacted legisla-
tion during the past year enabling
them to conduct much more intensive
work in the control and eradication
of tuberculosis of cattle. New states
obtaining helpful legal authority were
Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jer-
sey, and Tennessee. Among the
states obtaining additional legislation,
Indiana passed Jaw requiring that
wherever county adions two coun-
ties working or having completed area
work, such county shall provide oper-
ating funds upon the request Of the
state veterinarian. This is in effect
a complete state law, as under it all
counties in the state will eventually
be required to make the necessary
appropriations. AT present 80 of the
92 counties in Indiana are either
classed as modified areas or working
to that end.
