WAKE UP, Mr.. ~O'FLAHERTY-

The statement in the Producers News last week
to the effect that Mr. Polk or any Of the other three
stockholders in the Plentywood Herald corporation
had proposed or even limited that the News should buy
the Herald is just another wild dream or wilful lie,
for which the News editor has become notorious.
The four stockholders of the Herald, as we'll as
everyone else, knows that the Producers News is not a
solvent affair right now, that it cannot and does not
pay its labor or other bills or even taxes, and there
fore could not buy anything.
On the other hand, the Herald is quite a grow
ing concern, has the largest paid circulation in Sher-
idan county, pays its way, keeps its bills paid and is
getting along very nicely.
The Herald is owned by a corporation whose
sole business is general publishing and printing. It's
business never has and never will include scandal
monging or graft In that it differs from our contem-
porary. There is also another difference: It be-
leves in publishing only facts; the Producers News
editor would not recognize a fact if he saw one.
For these reasons the Herald is serving a use
full purpose and will continue to be the news medium
of Plentywood and Sheridan county when there is
nothing left in this county TO remind one Of the Pro-
ducers News but worthless certificates of stock in py-
radium. lumber mills, temperance leagues, defunct
political parties and a morally bankrupt editor who
has already deserted the ship

FARMERS and HOME
MAKERS WILL meet

Many of the innumerable questions
asked by farmers and stockmen of
Sheridan County regarding the Fed

A REASONABLE
WHEAT PROTEST

Sound in principal and admirable il
purpose, but untinsely just now-tha,
IS Northwest agriculture's, and also
the Northwest grain trades, criticism
OF the Federal Farm Boards move
Tor curtailment of the 1880 wheat
acreage and wheat crop below the
1929 figures.
The criticism seems we'll warrant.
ed.
The winters crop is already planted
on an acreage far larger than last
years. If the 1880 acreage for
wheat of all kinds is to be reduced
below last years total, then the
whole weight of reduction will fall
upon the sping wheat belt here in the
Northwest.
We do not think that Farm Board
members took this phase of curtail-
ment fully into consideration when
they decided to move for a lowering
Of 1880 production. We do not think
that the Farm Board members care
to see the spring wheat states of the
Northwest penalized for the benefit
of the winter wheat states Of the
southwest. And we feel not a little
confident that the Board, once it does
appreciate the Northwest's position,
will mbdify its views as to present
curtailment.
Modification could come in one to
two ways. Acreage reduction could
be deferred until after the 1880 han.
vest, with the winter wheat and
spring wheat, as separate crops, and
work for separate reductions in each
belt.
In some sections of the Southwest's
winter wheat area, cooperation by
the farmers themselves in any re-
duction plan probably would not be
forthcoming. Early last fall, when
acreage reduction was being urged, a
Kansas City newspaper, quiried rep
.resentative farmers of hat particu-
larly prolific wheat region which in
cludes Western Kansas, Western
Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle.
Were they going to curtail their
wheat planting? Unanimously, they
were not They were working cheap
land, they said, on a wholesale scale,
and were getting such combine ar-
vested yields at such low production
costs that they were assured Of good
profits, no matter how far the mark
ct price of wheat might fall. So why
should they curtail operations?
1t would be ~manifestly unfair for
the Government to expect spring
wheat growers to punish themselves
for the refusal of winter wheat grow
ers to do their part in a nationwide
move to cut down or eliminate sur
plus production. We do not believe
the Farm Board wishes to be unfair.

WHAT'S THE DIFF

An American connisseur, J. Edward Morgan,
who has just completed an investigation Of more than
a year in England digging into Shakespearean dust
scripts and dust, now comes forward with proofs for
the age old allegation that Bacon was the real
author of Shakespeare works.
With enlarged photographs of the bindings and
original scripts of Shakespeare writings, MI. Morgan
shows that even the decorations, pictures and letter
ing of the scripts were made by Bacon who concealed
his name on the scrolls, not just in one place but in
many.
For our part we fail to find anything exciting
about Mr.. Morgan's claims. Bacon was never cele-
brated for his loyalty to friends or any cause, and who
betrayed the best friends he had in the English court
of old Queen Bess, could easily have taken this means
to steal the honor from Shakespeare who, no doubt,
submitted most of his scripts 10 the very learned
Bacon for criticism, as Bacon was considered the
greatest scholar Of his time, an artistic penman and
an authority on Latin
From what the world knows Of both the Bard
of Avon and the tickle Francis Bacon, it seems in
credible that tine latter would let another reap the
honors that were heaped on the author of Shakespear-
can plays.

WANTED-A CANDIDATE

Senator John Schnitzler, who is now in Wash
ington consulting the Senatorial election committee,
giving Wellington Rankin a boost into oblivion and
fixing up other fences for the battle of 1880, is said to
be combing the state with care for a candidate to take
Senator Walsh to the cleaners when he comes up for
reelection.
I'VE admire Mr.. Schnitzlers efforts and we
trust he can find one in Montana who can or will rep
resent the Treasure state in Washington better than
Mr.. Walsh. But when that candidate is found we want
to have a good look at him.
We do not say there are not better men for the
job than Walsh, but unfortunately the best men can
not always be elected 10 office. Walsh has the ex-
perience, the dignity Of office, a vast amount Of pres
tige and, we would say, he has the necessary votes for
reelection all tucked away in his pocket.
However, that does not mean THAT our national
committeeman should not keep the old flag flying and
we trust that when a candidate to oppose Walsh has
been put in the field he win be one whom all Republic
ans can support fervently and conscientiously.
We have had enough of the Rankins and Rid
dicks and Lindermans. Give us a MAN, a man like
Senator Walsh who will go Walsh one better in dig
nifty and be too dignifed to play politics after he gets
to Washington.

al s. Olson is thoroughly American, a
square shooter, a good citizen and is bringing
up a fine family. He is a hard worker, a
student and a thinker"
In many other issues of the ?. n we md similar
tributes to Mr.. Olson's honesty, sobriety and integrity.
Well, he is just about the same Mr.. Olson today.
He hasn't changed much Heis just a little older. a
little wiser and, despite the handicap OF having been
boosted by the Moose for several years, he now finds
himself in the enviable position of now being lam
hasted by that sam medium.
Mr.. Olson may be surprised to find this brief
editorial in the Herald. Like most everyone else in
Sheridan county he feels that to be l~ambasted and
m~aligned by the Moose editor is to be stamped with
the hall mark of integrity and honesty. So, the Her
aid editor, just to bring L. S. down a notch, quoted the
above eufogy from the Moose to make him realize
he is just an ordinary average citizen like the rest Of
US here in Sheridan county who refuse to be bambooz-
led and frightened into submission by the Moose.

1T MIGHT HELP

1T MIGHT HELP
France has already thrown a monkey wrench
into the naval reduction parley with a statement by
Premier Tardieu that France does not intend 10 alter
its cruiser building program which does not termin-
ate until 1912.
1t would seem that a nation which suffered as
much as France did during the war would take any
reasonable steps TO guarantee continued peace. In
stead, the land of the feur de lis seems as militant
az ever.
France is also a debtor nation 1t is also a
heavy borrower. Perhaps a cu~rtailment of American
loans to Europe might do more than peace pacts to
reduce ornaments

Interest has been aroused among the
investors who read this column about
investment trusts" Most OF the IN.
ouiries have been to the effect OF
whether investment trusts are good
from the standpoint OF the investor.
One Judges an investment trust In much
the same manner as one Judges the
company whose securities are pelng con-
sidered for purchase.
First of all. one wants to know the
character and reputation of the execu-
tives of the trust Then one Is vitality
interested in the rating Of its invest
mentS.
The word trust" in this case means
that the company holds a variety OF
securities in trust for the shareholders
of the trust. The investment trust, IN
other words, acts as the investment
agent of its shareholders. The funds
of the shareholders are pooled into the
capital of the company.
The company then operates in the
securities market according to the re-
suits of its Investigations, analysis ana
statistical research. In other words, the
investment trust engages in the most
scientific and expert investing with the
funds of its shareholders.
One usually becomes shareholder OF
such q trust by either buying stock,

generally protected to some extent by
an agreement made by the trust in
which it Is limited in control of funds
and range of investment. 1t is clear,
though, that both sound and unsound,
scrupulous and INSCRIPTIONS trusts may
be formed. ALI trusts are not alike.
Why form an investment trust at all?
Greater diversification of holdings, fair
returns and closer supervision Of invest
ments are some of the advantages cited
by proponents Of the trust. Risk is
spread over large number of securi-
ties, and loss is evenly distributed. Only
| marketable and dividend paying issues
are purchased, and values are scrutinized
carefully.
It is true, as some have pointed out,
that the administrators of trust must
be given rather broad powers in select
| ing and handling the trusts invest
ments. These powers should be defined
and limited in black and white. Item

April /, 1S65!--From President Lin.
coin, who is at City Point, Va, in the
rear of the Union lines, telegram was
received at the War Department this
morning telling of great battle yester-
day before Petersburg. The President
said that Gen. Grant is still advancing
his headquarters.
The Presidents message and other in
formation received at the War Depart
ment today indicate that the fall of
Petersburg, and possibly of Richmond,
may occur in few days.
President Lincoln's telegram was ad-
dressed to Secretary of War Stanton and
was sent at $3.50 o'clock last night. The
President said that he had received two
messages from Gen. Grant, who is adj
vancing with the Army. The first was
at 1880 pm. yesterday, and 1t told OF
severe fighting that morning. The Con-
federates first drove back the Union left
from near Dabney's house toward the
BoydtoWn plank road. The later mes
sage said Grants troops then took the
offensive at that point and drove the
Confederates in turn, taking the White
Oak road.
Judging by the points from which
Gen. Grant telegraphS," wired Mr.. Lin
coin, 81 infer that he moved his head
quarters about mile since he sent the
first of the two dispatches"
The hospital steamer State Of Maine
arrived in washington this morning
from City Point with 375 wounded
Union soldiers, the majority Of whom
we're injured in an engagement a week
ago. Many Of them are very serious
cases. There are 19 men with legs or
arms amputated.
The officers of the State of Maine
brought word that there are many sick
and wounded Union soldiers at City
Point and that they will be shipped TO
Washington as rapidly as possible. They
said the hospital steamer Connecticut
was taking on a large number at the
time they left and it should reach this
city tomorrow.
Three Confederate captains and six
lieutenants, captured by the 9th Corps
in front Of Petersburg three days ago,
arrived here today and have been COM
United to the Old Capitol Prison. The
captains are H. M. Bell, 41st Alabama:
j. H. White, 46th Virginia, and r. j.
Dunbar of the Holcombe Legion.

adults, too, have been INDUCING in the

the butt Of many jokes.
