FACTS TELL TRUTH

Last week, the anie editor of the Plentywood
Herald, the mouthpece of Main Street, devoted its
entire editorial page to the Producers News in one
wild, rambling, incoherent screed.
This at least is change.
Previously it had given its entire attention to
individuals: 20 Taylor, Salisbury and others-it has
always been for the farmers and for the farmers
paper but not for the editors. Now it is not for
the farmers: it is for Main Street.
1t is said, that out of the mouths of fools and
babes comes truth. We believe it.
Lawrence Olson, the man who served his city so
well when the city fighting the Power COM
panv, and the county well when engaged in d.
and sundry tax rackets, served Main Street
just so well, when he said:
During IL years of its kaleidoscope regime it
has been favored with much advertising and pat
rOnage from the public here; not because many
of the business people cared to patronize them but
an order to keep peace and harmony"
How well that is said! And the farmers and the
farmers paper have never for moment been de-
ceived. These merchants have always hated the
farmers, and the farmers paper, but in order to
get business, it had to go to the of business
the farmers, and to reach the farmers there was
only one way: thru the columns of the Producers
News. If there had been any other way, this ele-
ment would most assuredly have utilized it, and
avoided the Producers News. We and the farm
are fully aware of that fact.
When the farmers were in power and had pat
ronage 10 distribute, something Main Street want
ed, it was kind, it fawned: as did its spokesman
Ia 5. Olson. When there job to be had at
little work and good pay Olson was for the farm
ers, the Producers News the Producers News
gang, Taylor and Salisbury he would be for them
again were they in power and had prostitutes
fee to offer him, or some old washing machine.
And for that matter so would Main Street
The farmers know that Manstreet hates them as
every parasite hates the carcass it lives on-Main-
street everywhere hates the farmers and workers
but only once in while does it have mouth
piece that is so open and frank about it.
And then the scarlet lady down the street goes
on to say, just as truthfully:
MANY of these merchants and business men fin
ally went back to advertising with the organ to
attract more business TO Plentywood again."
Which is an admission-as plain as it could be
stated, that advertising in the Producers News
was and is profitable: that after it had almost
wrecked the town in trying to fight the farmers
and the Producers News, Main Street finally came
10 its senses and advertised again in The Produc-
ers News, because it was profitable 10 do and
Tor no other reason-an of which Mr. Olson adj
mits.
The advertising rates of the Producers News are
the cheapest from the standpoint of the number
of people reached and the results attained from
the money expended, than any rates in the North
west. We admit the Herald rates are less than
the Producers News. They should be consider
able less. In fact if the Plentywood merchants pay
that paper over 10 cents an inch, they are paving
an exorbitant price.
Let US see what it's WORTH The business men
of Pentywood have tried that sheet out on several
occasions to their sorrow. For instance the Klein
asst Motor Company put a sale last spring. 1t
advertised in the Herald exclusively. 1t was a
complete and dismal flop-nobody come to town
People did not know abut it, for nobody reads the
Herald. Then the Garfield Flying Service put over
its con game-it also used the Herald. The Pro-
ducers News has never stopped to such gold brick
methods to fleece its advertisers That was dud
too-not farmer come to town for this event. 1t
4 U0l hrip IF fho A.
put over on his friends. A leading grocery COM
pany patrOnized the columns of the Herald all
summer, and when it finally put on a selling-out
SALE 1t came to the Producers News and advertised
It's sale-it had huge crowd The Producers
News always gets the cosing-out sales if it doesn't
get any other, for when they close out thev buy
space where they get results. And this week Ing
watson Company put on an Unloading Sale It adj
vertlsed it exclusively in the Herald featuring a
cut IN soap and bath towels because they 90 to-
gether we guess. That firm did not unload much
even the people in Plentywood don't know that
it is going on
Now when these firms want some real business
they will buy space in the farmers paper in the
PRODUCERS News: all of their good will money goes
TO their own organ-the Pentywood Herald which
the farmers do not read
Now on the other hand, Reserve merchant nut
on a STOCK reduction sale. He is not a friend of
the Producers News but he knew what paper had
the circulation, which paper the farmers read-be
bought space In the Producers News The sale
was huge success
The Farmers Cooperative Store at Da0mar
owned by the Dagmar farmers, and the cheapest
store in Sheridan county-sells for about 5Se
less all of the time than the merchants nf PLENTY
wood-lt put on a sale last week, a real honest TO
goodness sale with real bargains. Naturally that
store came to the Producers News The postoffice
az az Dagmar Is IN the store and the manager knows
now many Heralds goes to that country It being
a farmers store owned by the farmers, the second
largest store in the county, came to the farmers
paper, the largest paper in the county, and also
owned by the farmers and read by them. The
