It's getting SO Dan Howley hasn't much of anything to howl about. Things have bsen breaking quite nice for the doleful manager of the St. Louis Browns. in fact SO nice that his boys are being mentioned as red hot pennant prospects for next season.
 All of this from a hopeless sec- cnd division club two years ago when "Howling Dan" succeeded George Sisier at the helm.
New Britain herald., 1929-01-23

Howley is the Gil Dobie of base ball. The future is very menacing when Dan is talking. There are al- ways so many obstacles for his boys to overcome: he'll tell you it's . good bet Dame Fortune will make buns out of all of them in the end.
 But it seems Howley and the Browns keep plugging right along. and that's bringing results.

Despite Obstacles.


CARDINGTON, England, November
1s.--Despite fog blanket that covered
all the Midlands and southern section

The flight lasted more than 80 hours
and was completed without a hitch.
Maj. G. H. Scott, commander OF the
R-i0l, was enthusiastic over the re-
suits. He said that the airship had
maintained an average cruising speed
of so miles per hour and made salts

Washington = (FP)-In a brief
executive session, April 10th, the ma
tional convention of the Daughters OF
the American Revolution voted by 2OO
to 1 to uphold the executive commit
tee in its expulsion, last year of Mrs.
Helen Tufts Bailie of Boston. Mrs.
Bailie raised the protest against the
secret blacklist issued with the con-
nivance of Mrs. A. J. Brosseau, pres
ident general of the society, to pre-
vent the giving of speaking engage
ments to liberals.
In preparing for the kicking out
permanently, of Mrs. Bailie, Mrs
Brosseau spoke through R. Ralph Bur-
ton, general counsel for the society
Burton circulated a pamphlet in which
he declared that the D. A. R. has
become a tremendous power against
radicalism, communism and pacifism
and nothing could be more dear tt
the hearts of supporters of these
movements than the disintegratiOn o.
the D. A. R., that great force for pre-
serving American institutions anC
bringing to light the real aims ant
purposes of movements directed
against them"
Mrs. Bailie, in turn, stated that sh
was glad to be rid of the society, sine

In 9 of the IA years the purchasing
power of grain producers has been be-
low prewar. This has been true of
every year since 1919. The figures
show the terrific deflation of the
farmer after 1920 when within year
grain prices were more than cut In
half. For the entire period 1915 thru
1927 the purchasing power of grain
has averaged so below prewar and
in the last month for which the record
is available it is down more than 2O%o
Farmers this year planted $780,
900 acres to wheat, reduction of Ii
per cent compared with 1927, but they
got a $3.50 larger crop. Attempts tC
control the crop in the interest Of
better prices are at the mercy of croI
conditions over which the farmer ha'
no effective control. The trend to
ward greater production per farm
worker and per acre goes steadily for
ward, crowding to the wall the farm
er who cannot compete in poductiol
costs with the increasing number o
mechanical grain factories.

FAIR GROUNDS

The Board of County Commissioners at the regular
May meeting organized the Sheridan County Fair AS
ISOLATION provided by law and appointed the follow
ing well known as commissioners: Nels Olson of
Outlook, A. F. Zebarth and Jack Bennett of Plenty
wood, R. G. Tyler of Homestead and Nes Christensen
of Dagmar, and contemplate the evying of at least
mill tax for the support of the Sheridan County Fair
The Sheridan County Fair Association has been au-
thorized to acquire proper grounds, and have
eral sites under consideration.
The Producers News is pleased that definite steps
have been taken to establish the county fair as an in
stitution. However still believe that the business
men of Pentywood should provide this site as a gift
to the Association. The fair will be of great benefit
to Plentywood financially the people of Sheridan
county willing to tax themselves to provide the
maintain the fair, the grounds should be gift from
Plentywood.
In the selection of site great consideration should
be given-for it has been selected there cannot
be any change without great cost. The proper site
should be chosen if it should cost more What is
thousand fifteen hundred dollars in the buying Of
site for the fair grounds
We understand the Commissioners have two o.
three sites under considerations In our mind there il
just logical site for the fair grounds and that i
the Herald Ball Park
1t is located right, being accessible and easily i'm
proved and the property if it costs more thai
other ground is actually worth more and will prove
good investment in the future

grounds not be penny wise and pound foolish

30 PIECES OF SILVER
Mr.. Bricker, speaker.

Mr.. Brlcker, speaker.
The honorable Ralph Brcker haiIng from Windham,
Judith Basin county, speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives, the 21st Assembly, also speaker in the
10Th Assembly, decided to take the cash and let the
credit 60"
The honorable Speaker awarded allotment of
$4,000 of insurance state property which cost the
state $2O15, thereabouts and which Melted him
where between $4OO and $500.
This allotment of insurance had formerly gone to
Senator Hazebaker who the policy and collected
the premiums.
Sen. Hazelbaker took this business in spite of the
fact that he a Senator and occupied fiduciary
relationship with the people who elected him Much
of the state insurance has been divided up among the
boys who faithful in the past and the situation
very embarrassing for some of the legislators
when former Secretary of State Charles Stewart
impeached.
The astute Mr. Hurd, Stewards attorney rather
fumbled the defense of that gentleman when he neg
lected for other bring these facts
However, Lieut.. Governor Hazelbaker slated by the
Company for governor, did not to involve himself
this time, and take the chance of exposure, so he
turned his insurance allotment to Speaker Bricker
whom both the Governor and the Company desired to
reward for services rendered.
Mr.. Bricker of the leaders in the House dur
ing the goth Assembly that brought articles of i'm
parchment against Sec. Stewart One of the charges
against that gentleman and the article on which the
impeachment was sustained charged him with betray-
ing his trust Secretary of State in writing insur-
ance on state property and benefting in the profits
Now we hear that Speaker Bricker has also betrayed
Montana for 80 pieces of silver and sold his birthrght
for mess of pottage.
The profitng in insurance premiums on the part of
legislators is just cupabe it is by the Secretary
of Statein fact that is difference whatever: both
instances the occupy the position of the trustee
profiting through the trust.
The moral turptude is Identical We wonder how
many of the other legislative gentlemen have soled
themselves with this mess of smut?

Farm Shift to Factory Basis
By LELAND OLDS, Federated Press

Grain production like most other
American basic industries is overex-
panded and cutthroat competition is
slowly eliminating the small farmer.
That is the real story behind the ag
ricultural discomfort. 1t corresponds
to the discomfort among English tex
tile workers a century ago when pow
er machinery was revOlutlonlzlng their
industry. The farms are being an
nexed to the factory system.
Department of Agriculture figures
show the tremendous expansion of
American wheat production. This is
making it impossible to sell at prices
which will cover the costs of any but
the most efficient producers. This
year the United States produced
903,865,0O0 bushels compared with
872, 1896, 900 in 1927 and an average of
about 8O7 100000 bushels for the 5
years 1926. But the most extraor-
binary gain is over the 19O9-1S aver
age of 690,1O8,000 bushels.
Canada swells the excess production
this year over prewar with a record
crop of $50, 482 900 bushels. This COM
pares with 44O,O25,0 00 bushels in 1922
and an average of 49,, $4,000 bushels
in the 5 years 1909 10 1913. The to-
tai production of wheat in NOrti
America has increased fir I'm an aver
age of 890,7OS,O0O bushels in the
prewar year, to 1,45A $4,000 in 1927
a jump of ABOUT 62ct. Compared witt
1927 the gain is $50 100000 bushel
or nearly 1917.
With no deficit iii European produc
ton this huge surplus can scarcel
find market except at reduce
prices. Under the present privat
marketing system the low price whic
the surplus brings determines tn
price for the entire crop.
The price received by the farme
for grain in September, according

, averaged only 1857 above 1914. Ii

May Is, 1929.
Editor, Producers News:
l am herewith sending in the fol-
lowing letter from Sen. Lynn ]. Fra
zier in answer to my open letter to
him concerning farm relief legislation
published in the columns of the Pro-
ducers News last week. l believe the
letter which follows is of general in
terest to the people of Sheridan coun-
ty and Northeastern Monana, which is
exceptionally interested in that it dis
closes that Congress really does not
want to do anything for the farmers
and the present special session is just
gesture" to make a pretense of
fulfilling campaign pledges:
Just how the farm relief | suggest
ed would "also eliminate lot of small
farmers" is more than l can under
stand. Suppose a farmer only sold
hundred bushels Of wheat, would il
eliminate him if he received $3.50 pei
bushel instead of "a cents.
