atlanta Depression
Is Held Temporary

ATLANTA, May 19.-Describ
ing the depression of the past
few months as definitely tenn
porary." Percy S. Straus. execu-
tive vice president of r. H.
Macy and Company, predicted
here yesterday that business con
ditions throughout the country
would show a steady improve
ment from now on.
whether this improvement
will be a matter of steady in
crease in volume of business
turnover, or whether it will be
spasmodic, depends largely on
the success of the cotton and
wheat crops this year." Mr..
Straus said.
He did not expect business to
rebound with one spring back
into it's former place, saying
"the situation we have gone
through can be likened to an
illness.

BILLIONS
VACATION COST

The great American summer
vacation, about to begin, will in
stitute an item of business which
in actual dollars and cents is
equal to the gigantic iron and
steel industries of the country,
DR.. Julius Klein, Assistant Sec
retary Of Commerce, declared in
a radio address last night.
Speaking over the Columbia
System, DR.. Klein said the fig
ure for business resulting from
this years vacations will total
about $3,000,000,000, exclusive Of
an even greater sum which is the
annual result of casual motoring
throughout the country.
The business of hot dog road
side refreshment stands, DR..
Klein declared, amounts now to
the staggering sum Of half a
billion dollars annually. He
added:
Establishments of this kind
are increasing at the rate of
not less than 5000 a year, and
there are now about 125,OO0
such stands in operation
throughout the country.
"The half billion dollars in
business which they did last
year was more than our com
bined natiOual exports to
Japan, Brazil and the Neither.
lands, or to Germany alone, a
rather staggering sum to arise
from Orangeade, ginger ale, bar
becue sandwiches and such,
along our highways merely for
the convenience of the tourist
trade"

just a common building. 1t had
no marble floors or beautiful
chairs, etc., but the new proprie-
tors are not rich people, in fact
they might be said to have been
very short on funds. But / would
be willing to bet that in the state
of Montana there are a lot of
shops no better than the one just
closed.
And another thing, and this is
probably the niger in the wood
pile, they had an ever increasing
clientage, who were satisfied with
the shop and patronized it. Many
Plentywood citizens last Monday
in signed affidavit attested to
the fact that "Slim" Lee was a
very efficient and sanitary bar
bed despite the efforts of the 9TH
er two barber shop proprietors to
discredit him, even going to the
extent of having an article publish
ed in your paper, hoping to give
him a black eye, but which only
ended in increasing the business Of
the new shop.
l will say this to Moe and Hill
yard, that this is a free country
or at least most of us think it is
and if you two could hear the tall
upon the streets of PlentywoOC
concerning your efforts to drive
your competition out of business
by what they deem unfair tactic
you would not think that yol
were getting by with anything

ing and this is no kidding. That j
you cannot meet this competition
on its own merits without trying
to drive them out with question
able means, well it's too bad 70
you, that's all.
And again it is the talk whicl

Mr.. Hillard, that is going to b
the direct result of another barbe
shop entering Plentywood wit
reasonable prices. Whether or no

Herald Outfit Would Wreck
Farmers Temple

Editor, Producers News.
Of all the crazy and dirty things
ever read in the Plentywood
Herald, the dirty attack on the
Farmer-Labor Temple is the linn
it, but can you expect anything
but dirt and greatness when you
consider where it is coming from :?
If the article was written with the
purpose of creating a hatred
among the farmers against the
town of Plentywood it sure served
it's purpose.
We farmers went TO work and
donated our money and time and
practically made the city of Plen-
tywood a present of an institution
which has brought more people
and more outside money to town
than all the oil schemes, all the
airports, all the fair grounds and
all the new courthouses ever has
and ever will.
1t is very true that some bust
ness men also contributed towards
the building. Why shouldn't they
when they are the only ones whC
are receiving the benefit in colo
cash, some of them getting plen.
ty of it too.
What is wrong with your schoo
paying for the use of the Temple
Who else should pay for the run
ming and upkeep, if it should no
be paid by the parties using tn,
Temple? / suppose some day you
Plentywood people will expect Vi
farmers to come in and build yol
a new school house and gymnasi
UNI, make you present of it ant
even pay you some taxes on it OF
top of it all. Why don't you col
lect taxes on your school house
your hospital, your churches an,
your old rotten court house, if yol
are SO crazy about taxes?
We farmers never expected +
get an dividend on the money an
time we stuck into the Temple
and the PlAntywoUd people WI
sure see to it that we don't ge
it, but if they can throw some div
idend to people like Burley Bow
Ter, Harry Polk and their half nut
ty editor, for them to spend o.
their women, booze and gambling
they are right there to do it.
A MAD FARMER.

Although every one rich and poor, will agree
with me that this is what the county should do,

does not live in this county but that makes no
difference. Bill is a road contractor and builds
state highways and Ed Powers is not going to let
the county step in and compete with his brother

we might as well forget about the half million dol
lars and let Bill have it. That's business politics
for you. Just the way Hoover & Co. would do it.

of the bridge fund. BY adding that to the $lzo.-
10000 which would be spent on the state nignway,
the county would be spending $16OOOO On ROAD
work each year for four years.
Bv only spending $25OOO.OO each year out of
the road fund, this fund would build up at the rate
of about $4O,OOOO0 each year, which means $doo
600 in four years. With the road fund SlOU,UUV IN
the hole at the present time it would leave II SOU
f f ON Il the IN half million dollar state job, but it
would be reasonable to estimate that the county
would make 1919 net profit on the state job,
which would add another $4,000 10 our road fund
and it would be $110,0OO0O to the good, instead OF
taxes.
Read this over again and if there is anything
wrong with it let me know about it.

UNION LEADER
BARES BRUTALITY
OF DETROIT COPS

By Robert L. Cruden, Fed. Press
Detroit-(FP) = "New York's
police have no monopoly on sad
ists," said Philip A. Raymond,
secretary of the Auto Workers
Union. on his release after being
arrested and held for speaking at
a meeting of unemployed here.
Raymond himself was a living
example Of his statement when in
terviewed by Federated Press.
Two of his teeth having been
knocked out, his lips are cut and
damaged and an infection has de-
veloped which worries the doctors.
1.-TWO cops held me, the sergeant
came up, gave me dirty look and
took a couple of swipes at my
mouth. The blood squirting from
my face delighted him. He took

Held for several days without

charges being filed against him,
Raymond had plenty of opportuni-
ty to observe the process of the
"clean up" campaign just inaugur-
ated by the police department.
Homeless unemployed, standing
on street corners are picked up,
beaten until they confess to a
crime. Then the police proudly
announce the arrest and confess
sion of another desperado."r
The union leader tells of a Ne
gro, named Arthur Washington
being stripped and beaten with a
rubber hose until three of his ribs
were broken. He was then sent tt
Receiving Hospital but was re-
turned without much treatment
because the hospital was filled
with good white patients. He was
left lying on the floor of his eel
and was still there when Raymond
was freed. Another out of work
white, had one rib broken from
the same treatment.
"a broken-down, elderly worke,
from out of town was brought il
and compelled, on his knees, t,
put his throat between the knee
of detective. While held in tina
strangling position, the guardian
of the law pounded him on tn
kidneys in order to extort a con
fession.' When that failed the,
tried to make the out-of-work con
fess that he was going to commi
a crime in the near future
"The IL of US who were arrest

Live and Let Live

Well, we had another fine ex-
ample of free America Monday,
when the new barber shop, was
again closed, because of certain
requirements, which the BARRIERS
association had passed at the last
legislature.
Now, am not sure that those
restrictions were meant to be
used as a cudgel against BARRIERS
who wanted to start up in bust
and felt that the price charged
for hair-cutting and shaves was
too high. But it would seem so
in the Plentywood case. / may
be mistaken, but it is the COM
mon opinion around Plentywood
that the Moe and Hillyard barber
shops here are behind the move
ment to drive out the new shop
because they are charging a fail
price as against their outrageous
prices nOI place like PlentywooC
with no high salar1ed ur rich
clientage.
suppose Moe and Hilyard viii
protest that the Board comes Of
its own free will and that they
found things very bad. That Lee
had no license, and the shop was
bad, very bad. Well maybe so
but many have their fingers cross
ed because they are well ac
quainted with Moe and Hilyard
They have heard their suuawk!
about Lees infringement of tn,
present barber laws, but some
how they don't ring true as the
real reason for all the new barber
shops troubles.
Anyway, Plentywood folks fee
the new shop should have a fail
chance. The boys should have al
opportunity to get their license
and given chance to repair ol
remodel their place of business
without being closed up every
week or so. The new shop, l IN
derstand is willing to comply will
the law if given half a chance *
know what its all about.
Now, in fact the new barber
shop or what was the new barber
shop was not a bad shop at all. 1
compared very favorably with tn,
other shops, who were not so man
months or years ago, the mos
sanitary places on earth. It i
