S'MORE MOUSE IN THE SOUP

Anent a news item appearing elsewhere IN this weeks
issue regarding the attempt OF our genial friend Charles T..
TAYLOR 10 assume the management OF the Williams County
Farmers P.ess at Wiliston. with exclusive control, reminds
us that he has had the same exclusive control over the Peo-
ples Publishing Company thai issues the Producers News
here which he boasts is owned by six hundred stock
holders" He installed thousands Of dollars worth OF new
machinery. presses etc, and boast OF the heaviest crcula-
tion in Sheridan County. We wonder where the dividends
went TO here? We have yet to hear Of anyone getting one
copper in dividends from the Producers News.
This same news item states that Mr.. Taylor was to
receive $4,000 per week for managing the Williams
County Press and a like amount for managing the Producers
News here. If this information is correct we can readily see
where the stockholders dividends went-into Charles
pockets.
1t also reminds us of tat Pyradium stock deal that
Charlie exhibited such keen interest in. Now all you stock
holders that have received bis dividends on this, don't all
speak at once.
Then again our memory hanks back to the Sturgeon
River Timber Products Company of Big Falls, Minnesota.
The name was almost as imposing as Charlie the Senator
from Montana, when he talked those poor Finlanders up
there into working for him al summer as his funds were
tied up"
Ho-hum, its a great game. We wonder what will be
his next financial fivver?
Bill Nye the humorst, in one OF his stories, claimed
he at one time wrote a letter Tor Sitting Bull which closed as
follows: Ole is gone, John is failing, and am about on my
last peos too" # our wonderful Charlie had been on the
scene at that time we wonder if Sitting Bull would not have
included him in the Bull family?

THE POWER BEHIND THE THRONE

While the News have been exposing alleged blind
pigs in Plentywood, they at tie same time come out decided
ly against prohibition, as they claim that its nice to have a
drink with an old friend.
The final upshot of this publicity is that led Winters
came over to Plentywood with part Of his army on Mon
day and they are here to stay. H. Melvin and R. Kant
ner, both old time Customs Patrolmen, will see that in the
future we will not be bothered with the unfavorable motor

FIRE INSURANCE RATES TOO HIGH

Many of our exchanges tell of fires occurring in their
communities, and Plentywood is to be congratulated upon
not only its scarcity of fires but also upon its very efficient
fire fighting force. We are fortunate in this respect, but
when it comes to paying high rates for fire protection, that is
a horse of another color. Our rates are to high and should
be lowered. Many of our business firms are unable to carry
full insurance protection on account OF the excessive rates,
whereas if the rates were reduced to a more reasonable basis,
these same firms would carry full coverage. 1t is true that
we have many frame structures, that are dangerous fire risks,
but there are many Improvements made here in recent years,
to reduced fire hazards, and still our fire rates are kept about
at the same level. We believe if the Commercial Club
would take this up with a thorough investigation, our fire
rates on business risks would be reduced considerably.
