LOSS. STRAYED OR DRUNK

Anybody giving information that will lead to
the detection, apprehension and recovery of the
Jones "five and ten law" otherwise known as the
"horse and rabbit" will be handsomely rewarded
by The Producers News with an autographed pic
ture of dry senator drinking water.
When the Jones Law was passed, it looked pref
ty bad for the bootlegger but nothing is ever as
bad as it looks, at first sight. The Anti-Saloon
League was happy over the prospect of having the
jails filled and more built to handle the part of
the population yet at large. But the joy was pre-
mature
Now we learn that "an increased total of uro-
hibtion cases instituted in the federal courts and
decreased number of convictions for the fiscal
year which ended June 80, 1929 as compared with
the year previous, shown in statistics compiled
by the justice department"
This is terrible and something should be done
about it.
We read on. ceases instituted in 1929 totaled
11O,666, of which 86,348 were criminal an increase
OF 1000 At the same time, there were $1,000 con-
Vlctons, or 1,7OO less than in 1928. The depart
ment, however, pointed out that $7476,3OO was
collected In fines in 1929 increase of $173 900 "
Now, we would like to know how much it cost To
collect the fines. But this does not get us any.

IS 7. J. WALSH IN BAD?

Our senior senator, one of the two petted Cop
per Dust twins finds himself under attack from
one of the eight state dailies of the Anaconda
Mining Company for expressing the opinion that
some lobbies good and some bad. One of
the good Hobbies is that maintained to harrass and
watch Senators in Washington D. c., accord
ing to Mr. Walsh who is member of senate
committee to probe all Hobbies.
The Helena Independent takes issue with Tom.
Since the H. l. is one of the Anaconda organs and
since Will Campbell, tho snappy writer, is also a
dutiful one, the indications are that Walsh is out
of grace with the Company" or perhaps the Ana
conda is neutral the liquor question and does
not particularly what position its two senators
take on it.
It does not matter a particle to the workers
and farmers of this state whether Walsh or some
other capitalist errand boy serves copper in Wash
ington Copper will be served as long as the
workers and farmers are silly enough to play with
Republicans and Democrats What they need is
a party of their own. What they should do is ia
elect men and women to congress who will fight
for their interests, the platform of their own
party. pves

No Retreat for
Jiggs; His Mug Espied on
Top of High Mountain

Thomas E. Jarrard, general sales
director of the Marmon Motor Car
Company, may have discovered"
the original Jiggs, the figure made
famous in caricature by George
McManus.
At any rate, to Mr.. Jarrard goes
the distinction of finding Jiggs In
a new pose, safe from the threats
of Maggie, his wife, yet almost
within plain view of thousands OF
vacation sightseers.
Mr.. Jarrard began a recent
western trip in Colorado Springs
in order to inspect the famed Pixies
Peak race course on which a Mar
mon-built Roosevelt won the La
Dor Day Hill Climb in the light
stock car class. He also ascendeC
Mt. Manitou, a sister peak, anC
while at the top made his unique
discovery. Within full view O.
sightseers, Mr.. Jarrard caugh
sight of huge boulder bearing al
exact replica of the features O.
Jiggs. Though previously unnotic
ed in a region famous for its rocl
formations, this strange yet hum
orous face was eight feet high ant
six feet wide.
Now this comic -stri character ha
taken it's place with the Garden o
the Gods as a subject for the meg
aphone experts who daily point on
places and points of interest t
tourists in the Pixies Peak region.

THE JOKE ON THE FARMER

Replying 10 the sarcastic comment of the Balti-
more Sun on the granting of federal farm relief
loans in the amount of $3,55O,OOO to orange grow
ers, grape growers and cotton growers, while the
grain farmers whose persistent bowling finally
brought the farmer relief board into existence, go
nrewarded, the estimable Fargo Forum, urges the
farmers to have patience for another year is COM
ing.
The Forum advises US that the Board has taken
steps to set up the Farmers National Grain COrpor-
ton and that Chairman Legge is prepared to take
sterilization steps if necessary. Of course, it is
too late to do anything with this years crop, un-
less things reach serious condition. Of
course. OF course.
With the farmer it is of, olive horse and
you'll get grass" The Farm Board is the biggest
joke yet sprung in American politics. The joke is
on the farmers.

CITY BOUNDARIES EXTENDED

Last Monday the City Council of Plentywood
passed resolution extending the present bound
airy line of this city.
This is in accordance with the growth of all
cities and is foregone conclusion as the popula-
ton increases.
It is difficult for the Council of village to
fDresee the developments of village with few
hundred population and the boundary lines are
laid out in the infancy of city in accordance with
the expected size at that time. But time changes
the conditions and dwellings and business houses
spring up which call for more space with the i'm
provements necessary to keep pace with the grow
ing population. Hence an extension of the boun-
dairy lines becomes necessary in the of time.
What might have appeared to be a long distance
from the outer edge of the city gradually becomes
emerged in the city itself and in the of large
cities extends for miles, while the smaller towns
and cities call for lesser distances.
In the of the City of Plentywood, it has
long been the opinion that the city limits should
be extended, but like such matters little attention
was paid to the matter until beautiful and ex-
pensive residences began to loom out in the out
skirts and city developments were needed to pro-
perly give them modern accommodations It is
at such times that public opinion becomes strong
that action must be taken, and it has been taken
by the present City Council and Mayor Storkan.
We believe that the great majority of the resi-
dents included in the addition to the City of Plen
tywood will welcome the opportunity of becoming
a part of the City We believe they proud of
this growing town and its achievements and will
be glad to get out of the category of those without
city AS for the rest of the residents of the
City of Plentywood, they welcome the newcomers
and know that they will be pleased TO be part
Of this growing baiwick.
No good reason can be given for remaining on
the outside of city and looking in The advant-
ages of the city as much to those living per-
haps little further from the center of business as
those living closer. The better the city, the bet
ter will be the improvements to everyone and the
more valuable their holdings Common patriotism
for their city demands that everyone put his
shoulder to the wheel and this cannot be done with
out being unit in the city developments. Speech
IN its place is very good but concrete facts demand
action, and it is hoped that there will be no OBJ
jectors in this expansion of the City Of Plentywood
for selfish motives If all the people of Plenty
wood had built the outskirts beyond the city Of
Plentywood with the exception of the business
places, this city indeed would have been curl
osty and the fact that the present residents of this
city have shown their faith in its development and
wish to join hands with those now outside the city
limits to still further its growth is good sign
for future development.

TWO LITTLE GIRLS.
THROW BIG SCARE.
into UNCLE'S ARMY

Fort Sheridan, Ill.-(FP)-The
gallant army officers stationed at
Uncle Sans anti-labor post at
Ft. Sheridan overawing Chicago
are breathing easier with the cap
ture and arrest of two allegedly
formidable enemies.
The valiant goldbraid warriors
descended in strength on the foe
and emerged victorious as Ameri-
can officers always should. Lusty
with the smell of battle the ma
jors and captain and first and Sec
ond looeys wreaked vengeance on
the invaders, twisting their arms,
smashing them in the face and
pushing them about. And, the
Lord of capitalism, golden glory
and 1000 Americanism be thank
ed, TT. Sheridan and the Chicago
army corps area is safe again.
The captured, enemy were two
little Communist maidens who
were caught distributing antrim
perialist literature to the soldiers
at the fort. They are held for ap-
pearance in federal court on a
charge of invasion (trespass on
the reservation) and getting the
army rank and file in touch with
wholesome truths about itself (se-
dition).

farmer who wouldn't join coop

wanted to wait few more years
to see how it worked.
Everyone knew that this fellow
was very cautious. He wore both
suspenders and a belt; he always
drank out of a saucer so the spoon
wouldn't get into his eye; and he
never spoke to lady for fear it
might be his wife. He was as wary
as a flea on hairless Chihuahua.
He never went to a meeting be-
cause they might take up collec-
ton. He never went to movie
because he might have seen it be-
fore. He never went to a band
concert for fear they might play a
saxophone solo.
The year after he refused to
join he wheat pool a funny thing
happened. He decided to wait un-
til he saw what kind of a season

MOONEY PARDON
PLEA CONSIDERED
BY CAL. GOVERNOR

Sacramento, Cal.-Governor G.
C. Young has turned his attention
to the Thomas J. Mooney pardon
application and announced that he
will also make a complete study
of the transcript in the Warren K.
Billings case.
Governor Young said that Bill
ings transcript is now before him.
He declared he intends to go into
it thoroughly, due to the convic-
ton of both Mooney and Billings
in connection with the San Fran
cisco Preparedness Day parade
bombing. He added there is scarce
ly a page in the prosecution trans
cript of the Mooney case which
does not also affect Billings.
Reports in state circles today
strongly indicated that If formal
application for pardon of Billings
is presented to the governor he
may act upon it at the same time
he renders his decision in the Moo
ney case.
