.DAGMAR COMMUNITY
BOOTH WINS FIRST
HONORS AT CO. FAIR

The Dagmar farmers were again
successful in carrying off first
prize for the best community
booth at the fair last week and
took home the silver cup to be
placed beside the one won at
the last fair. They are very proud
of their success this year because
their community was hard hit by
the drought and with the honors
won against such adverse condi-
tions, they are already planning to
capture the cup next year. The
Dagmar booth was indeed a very
beautiful affair, artistically ar
ranged and filled with prize-win-
ming exhibits.
The Reserve booth was a close
second and reflected the skill of
the designers of. the booth and the
growers of the wonderful exhibits
therein.
Outlook won the third prize for
community booth which contain
ed large list of prize-winning
exhibits very artistically arranged.
The Redstone booth was the
most original in trimming, and it
also contained pleasing display
of agricultural products.
In fact every community booth
gave most pleasant effect to
the eye and showed the wonderful
agricultural possibilities of the
respective districts.

Well Known Plentywood
Physician Takes Bride

Tuesday evening at 8:45 o'clock,
Cemil M. Hall, popular young doc
tor of this city, was quietly mar
ried to Miss Dorothy M. Leavett,
at the Congregational parsonage,
Rev. Jasper saying the words
which made them man and wife.
The newlyweds were accompa-
MED by Leo Zeidler and Miss Nc
Nerney, who witnessed the cere-
mony.
The groom is one of Plenty
woods most efficient physicians
and surgeons and has acquired a
large practice since coming to this
city about year ago.
The bride is one of the popular
nurses at. the local hospital, com
ing to Plentywood several months
ago.
Following the ceremony a crowd
of young people scooped up the
happy newlyweds and gave them
an old-fashioned charivari ride, al
ter which DR.. Hall ordered the
treats at the Elgin Cafe.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hall will make
their home in the Dan Olson house
formerly occupied by the Stevans

Babbling BoobIidge SAYS:

Oftentimes leisure can be
profitably employed. Other
times leisure can't find en-
ployment. While there are
some out of work who are
well educated there are 9th
ers who are merely out of
work. 1t is better to be edu-
Gated and out of work than
to be without a job and
lacking in any mental train
ing. IF you are educated
you can devote your leisure
to high and worthy thoughts
to the great eternal truths.
But if you are not well
schooled you concentrate
your unframed mind upon
your stomach. The result
is most unpleasant. This is
not as it should be.
With the present school
facilities for the young this
situation will have to take
care OF itself. But the con-
dltion would be very serious

Sometime ago the Eastern press
carried a small item of abiding in
terest to every miner in Butte and
every Power Company employee in

1t was to the effect that one of
our mining companies which also
operated to a large extent in Chile
was purchasing a group insurance
policy which would run way up in
to the millions of dollars on all
OF its servants in the Republic of
Chile in South America.
A group insurance policy is one

BIG AUTO CONCERN
MAKES LOTTA JACK.
JOBLESS HAPPY
By ROBERT L. CRUDEN


Detroit-FP = Hungry unem-
ployed in Detroit will be glad to
know among "a host of others
who have increased their earnings
in spite of the storm" is the
Briggs Mfg. Co., according to a
market report of the Whittlsey
Mclean Co., stockholders.
Locally notorious as a labor
sweating and woman-ruining firm,
this company, contrary to the
general trend of earnings of auto
mobile accessories companies dur
ing the first half of 1880, has
shown an increase of 45.78% over
the $2,422,697 reported for the
similar period off 1929. Earnings
in the second quarter alone exceed
ed by $344,0O0 the earnings for
the entire year of 1929"
Workers can testify to the truth
of this. Wages have been cut
Speedup has been intensified. Wo-
men have been subjected to more
bitter exploitation and their num-
bers have been increased. Acct
dents due to lack of safe machin-
cry have been jumping by leaps
and bounds. When the Highland
Park plant reopened after the
Ford shutdown, Briggs, which
makes 1870 of Ford bodies, an
nounced amid much publicity that
it was opening to go into full pro-
duction. That same night, after
six hours work, the whole night
shift was laid off and when they
went to get their pay they found
their wages had been cut-even
for the six hours. Workers. wages
throughout the plant had been cut
from 15-50e6. One woman work
er showed pay check Tor six
hours which amounted to $1.30.
Briggs Poison
1t was a wise worker who
scrawled in chalk over the Briggs
employment office, "If poison
fails, try Briggs"
The poison is spreading, this
report shows. During 1929 Briggs
acquired lumber mills in the south
ern part of the United States to
supplement its woodworking oper-
ations." 1t also took over the
Sterling Auto Top Co., Detroit
Curled Hair Works, American Au-
to Trimming Co., Lamb and Blod-
gett Tool and Engineering CO. 1t
has control of LeBaron, Inc,
Bridgeport, Conn.
British workers are going to
have their dose. Briggs Body, Ltd,
of Great Britain has been incor-
porated and ''it is expected opera
tions will soon be under way for
the manufacture of bodies fol-
Great Britain and other foreign
countries" Briggs expects to
make bodies overseas for Ford
Chrysler and Graham-Paige.
1t won't be long now before
British and American workers will
agree with the Whittlesey-McClear
Co. that viewing the long term
prospects of the company we be-
lieve it offers attractive invest.

Taken aback by the au-
dacity of the tycoons who
could hardly restrain more
forceful expression of their
indignation, the Poor Fish,
seemed to wilt and several
scales were seen to fall from
his eyes. The congressman
from New York turned
green at the gills and he ap-
peared to be having difficult
ty with his breathing as the
big grain gamblers told him what
was what and why it was rank i'm
pertinence on the part of Hyde,
Hair, Legge and Company to in
ject themselves into the grain
gambling business solely because
they needed an issue &c bamboozle
the farmers with in this congress
ssonai campaign. The strain of
all this truth-telling was visible on
the features of the grain magnates
but they were determined to carry
the faggots to the sacrificial altar
and take the consequence.
Board of Trade officials and
members, unanimously demanded
action from Washington in clear
ing up relations between the Unit
ed States and Russia.
They saw Russia's recent opera
tions in the wheat market as a
transaction without hostile intent.
Agents testified that if the pur-
pose of the soviet had been to
injure the American farmer by de-
pressing the grain market, the
short sales in September could
have been made much more secret
| ly.
Charge Evasion
Several business men pointed
out the inconsistency of expecting
business organizations to deter
mine ethical questions of interna-
tional relations which the govern
ment is evading. The danger en-
countered in the wheat market,
they said, continues to exist.
Called Limit Orders
Chairman Joseph w. Badenoch
of the business conduct committee
of the Board of Trade testified:
"We are satisfied the purpose
of the Russian government was
mot to depress the price of
wheat in this country. The or
ders were placed as limit orders,
not to go below a definite
price,"
President Bunnell of the boarC
was asked if he saw any threat
against the American farmer il
the Russian sales of wheat. Ht
replied:
'NO. sir. The sale of seven anC
a half million bushels of wheat II
three Hays is not particularly

Not since the heyday OF
the Nonpartisan League
have the militant farmers of
Sheridan County been so
enthusiastic for a political
battle and so confident of
victory as they are this year
The terrible wave of econ
onic depression that has
brought misery to millions
of workers and their de-
Pendents thru unenplov-
ment. the depression of the
price of farm products, confront
ing the farmers with bankruptcy;
the cynical disregard of the Re-
publican Party of the interests of
the producing classes and its re-
fusal to give them relief while
pouring millions into the Golfers
of the lords of industry, the poll
teal bankruptcy of the Democrat
ic Party which is just as rotten
and corrupt as the Republican Par
ty-all those facts are driving
wide masses of the people to the
conclusion that only thru the de-
velopment of their own political
party can they solve their prob
lens.
Fair Price for Products
The problems of the farmers of
Sheridan county cannot be solved
in the county Alone. The main
problem confronting the farmers
is to secure a price for their pro-
ducts which will mean a fair re-.
turn on the energy expended In
tilling the soil and in the produc-
tion of every kind of farm produce
that goes to feed the nation. I'm
less the millions of industrial
workers who produced the manu-
factured commodities for the home
and foreign markets find employ
ment at reasonable wages, it is
evident that the loss of purchas-
ing power suffered as a conse-
quence reacts on the agricultural
producers. 1t therefore follows
that the farmers and workers who
have common interests form a
united political front against the
exploited classes.

County Agent Fails

Owing to the failure of the

list of prize winners at the

the list but was informed by

there was only one list and
she was instructed by the
county agent not to let that
