not even death.
But it will not happen, because
in Canada they have government con-
trol of liquor and statistics show that
drunkenness is increasing.
What answer can Townley give for
that, that they do not get enough of
it and that it is not cheap enough |
suppose.
And furthermore, the statistics
show that there are millions of work
ingmen who lived from hand to mouth
ten years ago, account of the saloons,
has their own homes as well as bank
accounts today, thanks to the Eight
zenith Amendment.
Not even Townley can deny that.
IT Americans can only think clear
enough to see that prohibition is a
necessity, and see that it gets inforced
in every community and stop going
to listen to stump speeches from peo-
pie who think more of liquor than of
the Nation and the good of its homes.
American would be a far more respec-
table country then it is today.

To The Editor,
PLENTYWOOD HERALD,
Plentywood, Mont.
Dear Sir
Believing that you, in common
with other newspaper men, desire to
be fair and to publish only true in
formation and sound advice, | am
sure You will accept in good spirit
some statements | wish to make re-
garding an editorial published in your
paper of March 18th.
Among other things this says that
the good ship Farm Relief has wealth
cred the storm in spite of "the CON
centrated effort of the grain trade
to sink the Ship"
Assuming that you refer to the
merchants, millers and elevator men
engaged in this trade, / wish to ex-
plain that these firms and individuals
positively r not conspiring against
the Federal Farm Board, nor are they
in sympathy with conditions beyond
control which have resulted in de-
Ginning wheat prices.
1t is unfortunate when all legiti-
mate interests in this country are
striving to promote better conditions
that a business as reputable and i'm
portant as this should be woefully
misunderstood in some places and un-
justly attacked in others.
We are at loss to account for your
reference to the "big" bankers and
their alleged sympathy with the grain
trade in this situation. You state
that under the old system the farmer
was forced to pay an exhorbitant
rate of interest to private concerns
for a loan on his grain. AS a matter
of fact Minneapolis and Duluth grain
commission men have been financing
the operations of cooperative eleva-
tors throughout this territory for a
great many years, and they have ad-
vanced money to them at a very slight
percentage above the actual cost of
borrowing this. This charge has
scarcely covered the cost of handling
and has not in any way measured the
risks involved.
We assume that this material was
furnished by the Farmer Union which
announces that it is lending govern
ment money at a rate of 4 ga per
cent. Now, without criticising that
organization, it requires that the far
mer pay a membership fee and is
making other deductions against his
wheat.
Possibly this should not be con-
sidered in connection with the inter-
est charge it makes, which undoubt-
eddy is considerably higher than the
price it pays for this money. The
deductions previously referred to, we
believe, also include something to pro-
vide for bonds to indemnify the loans
received from government sources.
1t is unfortunate indeed that this
tremendously important subject can
not be discussed with entire fairness.
The farmer of the Northwest is be-
ing called upon to decide whether he
will revolutionize his marketing sys-
TEN and he should have complete and
true information before he reaches

The following letter appeared in the
Osakis Mimi Review recently, and
as it takes a fling at the hundreds of
thousands of Oleo users throughout
this nation, which is the primary rea-
son for the low price of butter at this
time, we take pleasure in copying it.
Deer Edeter:

butter price ! get al exica and Won
red vat it is al about. My brudder
Ole ban afraid to go to town as yur
blsness men could take him for a
substitute and drive him out of town.
You say you are goingto drive Ole
Oh out of bisness. Vail | tell you he
ban hard man to drive. He want even
stand hitched so how can you drive
him. For tirteen years We have ben
running dis har farm on de party
basis and he always do just some he
plese. But dar is Won good ting about
him and dat he is always on de job.
Early and late he ting about de cows,
calls and chickens. We make our own
butter SO don't tink We bodder vid dat
substitute bisness. He would be af-
raid to lok de COWS in de face if he
go buy margarine and sell de butter.
Des ban poor business for a COW man
to do.
Las mite Ole and | gos wei to see
our neebor and after avile de neebor
go down in de cellar and bring up a
big pitcher of milk. He says he lok
on advertisement in yur paper and de-
cida to dring more milk becus it ben
de wholesale food for de farmer as
vel as everybody else. Vel | agree vid
linn and ting it var a good plan ex-
cept he should leave emuf milk for
de calls. 1t doesn't pay to give de
calls any substitutes for den dey hol-
lar worst dan de merchants and farm
ers. | tried dat vonce tree years ago
ven Won concern talked Ole over to
sell de milk. De milk wagon kom and
take all de milk and We had to give
de calls water. Purity soon de calls
start up a hollar like you heer at a
cremery meeting about taking de milk
and de neebors kom over and wonder
w de calls make so much noise, and |
tel dem de hole story about Sellin
de milk and feeding water. Vel we
simply had to sta ieedin milk again
to stop de noise III de calf barn.
| think you fellars in town better
start to drink more milk and leve de
substitutes alone tn. If you did you
wouldn't make so much noise and get
so excita all de time, and uncel Sam

millions of dollars to check up on vat

THE COVERED WAGON
A proclamation has been issued by
president Hoover asking Americans
to commemorate the Tooth anniver-
sary of the migration into Oregon.
On April 10, 1880, the first covered
wagon left st. Louis for the west.
Thousands of pioneers followed this
first group to the Pacific states.
Ezra Meeker, born December 10,
1880 went by covered wagon to Ore
gon when he was % years old with
his young wife and child. At the
age of SO he wrote an account OF his
journey to the Oregon country. Some
years before his death he ~"reblazed'
the trail in an effort to establish a
National highway.
Ezra Meeker founded the Oregon
Trail Memorial Association, which as
ISOLATION was instrumental in setting
asidethe time from April l0-Decem-
Der 20 as the centennial of the COW
cred wagon.
The Magazine World for April con-
tains a great many accounts and stor-
les Of pioneer life.
The defamation contest will be
held on Thursday April "a, at 8 o.
clock at the Congregational church.
The contestants are Lois Goodman,
Gwendolyn Christensen, Charles

his decision.
Neither the Minneapolis Chamber
Of commerce, o any other reputable
gram exchange fears a thorough and
honest consideration of the subject of
marketing. The danger to them, and
to the farmer land the Farm Board
as Well lies in impulsive and revol-
utlonary steps which may run con-
trary to fundamental economic laws,
We believe that many newspapers
would lind that a large number of
readers not in entire accord with some
of the procedure of the Farm Board,
if they were to be asked about it.
Since they are the intended benifici-
aries Of the Agricultural Marketing
Act it would seem that advice should
be sought from them, as we'll as given
to them.
Ii we Of the Northwest deal fairly
with this tremendous important sub
ject we will ultimately reach a sound
decision, but the problem is so vast
and so vital that it cannot be solved
in a day, a month, or perhaps in a
year.
Your frank comment on this sub
ject will be greatly appreciated. 1t
is not my purpose, o of the inter
ests represent, to deal with any
thing but facts or to ask for anything
but fair play.
