That frightened her.

AS the weeks went on both felt the
tension. They were conventional peo-
pie, decent people. There were no secret
meetings. There was a certain de-
corum, gravity, about them when they
met. They were no light-hearted lovers,
and not too hopeful.
One day she told him that she wanted
to tell Wesley. 1t startled him.

Not to another man." he told her
grimly. And If there is any talking. to
be done let me do it. But you must
be ready to take the step, Missile. dear
It's irrnvokable, YOU see'
Through all of this Wesley came and
went. He was still sullen, but he was
less uneasy as time went on. She was
not going to make fuss. whatever she
knew. And she would get over it. She
was deviliSh pretty these DAYS, he
thought. There was new allure about
her, the allure of the passionately low
ing woman. He felt it without recog-
nizing 1t. He began to make small adj
vances to her again. E.
That's a new dress, isn't it?"
ITS quite an old one"
1T looks different, or YOU do"
But he had lost his old self-confi-
dence with her. He would remember
the locked door and Subside into sulky
silence again.
His overtures alarmed her. She be-
gan to make her plans to tell him. She
would rehearse the scene.

She felt cool and capable as she re-
hearsed 1t.
But she never said 1t to him.
One night she left her door open, so
that she might hear him when he came
in. She meant to have it out with him
then. But he was very late; she lay
fighting sleep for hours, but finally she
dozed off. When she wakened he was in
the room, smiling down at her.

TINS did not affect Lees business at all and he is Just
as busy as he can be.
Judging from the unfair tactics employed this
past winter, it would not surprise us if these shops
made another cut or two in their rates, just to run Lee
out OF the business, and if that comes to pass we can
again look for 35 cent shaves and 65 cent hair cuts.
We owe the Lee boys a vote of thanks as we'll as
our patronage for compelling these other shops to
come down to earth with their prices again.

DOWN GOES THE BARBER SHOP PRICES

The Moe and Hillard barber shops done a right
about-face Monday morning, when they stepped
down from their outrageously high prices for shaves
and hair cuts and restored the old price which had been
charged in Plentywood for years and years until last
summer those two shops decided to raise the price to
compare with the prices charged in about a dozen
shops in this state where the fixtures alone cost as
much as their whole shop here is worth.
AS soon as hard times struck Plentywood, in
stead of inviting trade to come to Plentywood by low
ering the price, or leaving it as it was, they had to
raise rates. Slaves went up to IS cents, haircuts to
IS cents,a and so on all along the line.
At Christmas time Slim Lee started a shop and
advertised his rates at 25 cents for a shave, so cents
for harcuts for adults, and 40 cents for haircuts for
children under IL years of age. Before Lee had op-
Grated more than a day or two these unfair competi-
tors started making trouble for him. He was getting
plenty of business which did not appeal to them and
he received a call from the County Attorney who in
formed him that under the barbershop laws he must
have a master BARRIERS license. He had to shut down at
once and went to Medicine Lake where he obtained the
services of VIM. Glaze and under whose management
the shop was run for some weeks, when trouble again
popped up for the Lee shop, as it is reported the two
other shops had succeeded in getting the secretary of
the barber association to come here and, who, after
listening to a lot of twaddle from the other shops, no.
titled VIM. Glaze that he had violated certain rules and
would have to appear before the barber board in a
couple of days to show cause why his license should
not be revoked. Knowing that it was a "frame-up" he
threw up his job and left for his farm on the reserva-
ton west Of Medicine Lake. This again closed the Lee
Barber Shop. Herschel Lee asked this Barber associa-
ton secretary to be allowed to take his examination in
either one of the other two shops here, but this was re-
fused and he started for Great Falls, but was notified
enroute that he could take the examination at Havre,
and where he successfully passed the required test.
For some reason his license took a long time in getting
here and finally had to wire about it, after which it
reached him.
In the meantime he had painted and fixed up his
shop in first class order and reopened on March Goth.
His shop was crowded with patrons all the time and
this so incensed the other shops that they are alleged
to have said they would put the prices down to almost
nothing in order to control the barber business here
Their first move in this direction occurred Mon
day morning when the old price was restored, but

As far as the local City election here is con-
cerned, we have heard of only one man whose name
has been mentioned as a possible candidate for alder
man and that being Louis P. Moe, the genial barber
who has shown so much courtesy to Slim Lee in his
efforts to keep his barber shop open. If Moe has the
nerve to run for Alderman here, we hope that he gets
the same kind of treatment from the voters that he
has been trying to give to his barber shop opponent
and in which he failed in spite of all his efforts.

BUYING LIVESTOCK ON
INTERMEDIATE D
Breeders Gazette

Some of you farmers are in luck, anyhow. One
of your own folks, GEORGE M. WILBUR of Ohio
yes, JOE WINGS friend, the sheep man-has been
made president Of the Federal intermediate Credit
Bank Of Louisville. What a Godsend it would be to
agriculture now to have every one of the twelve In
termediate Credit Banks headed by an understanding
farmer. With men like PAUL BESTOR as the Farm
Loan Commissioner and GEORGE LBU as Land
Bank president, there is no reason why the s660,O00,-
600 Of intermediate credit which the law provides
should not come into use on farms.
Listen to this from President WILBUR: "There
never has been a time during my business life when
farmers were so sadly in need of capital as they are
at the present time. With countless thousands of acres
Of pasture going to waste; endless amounts of corn
in an unmarketable condition.; all kinds of unmarked
able hay scattered throughout the country, which could
not begin to be sold at a price to pay even the cost
of harvesting, the only way these crops could possibly
bring in 2 cash return would be by feeding them to
live stock. Unfortunately, the average farmer has
to purchase this live stock and cannot obtain the MON
ey as he formerly could by going to a local bank and
borrowing Country financing is an entirely different
proposition from what it was a few years ago when a
farmer, who was a good moral risk, could go into al
most any bank in this community and finance himself
for stock. That day has passed and some means must
be devised by which the farmer may readily obtain
credit. This can be done by forming local credit as
s~ociations in scattered communities, and with very
little red tape farmers can obtain unlimited funds
through the Federal Intermediate Credit Banks, which
have been established for this purpose and of which
the farmers could and should take advantage. I'm
fortunately, few farmers are aware of the ready avail
ability of this money, which can now be had at 5 per-
cent"
Know what we'll do: we'll ask GEORGE to
write you a story and tell you all about how to get up
one of those agricultural credit associations.

EVASION BY TAXPAYERS FRIEND

The Producers Moose gang is happy now. They
are chortlng with glee as they realize that the County
Treasurer IS powerless to collect the personal property
taxes which they did not pay in 1920, 1921 and 1923, by
having it assessed against real estate which they did
not own, except through a flimsy agreement to pur-
chase an assignment Of a Sheriffs Certificate of sale
by foreclosure on a couple of lots. The County is out
over TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS which the Peoples
Publishing Company absolutely owes, and the only way
II can be paid now is though the honesty of the man.
agement Of the Producers Moose.
Of course the taxpayers of Sheridan County have
already had to pay these taxes through increased lev
les to care for this shortage, but if these alleged
friends of the taxpayers" would only show one little
streak of honesty to the taxpayers they would pay
these taxes which they absolutely evaded through de-
liberate Misrepresentation.
But now they are happy. They smile and slap
each other on the shoulders and perhaps take nip upon
nip, as OFlaherty is still under the weather, even tho
he was aent out in the country to sober up" These
friends of the taxpayers do not think of the hard
work that hundreds of farmers have had to undergo in
order to pay their own taxes and which have been paid
promptly. These friends of the taxpayers" do not
think about frayed clothing that many farmers have
HAD to wear in order to meet their taxes, nor the fact
that many a little tot in Sheridan County had to get
up on Christmas morning to find that Santa Claus had
not been able to give them much of the things they
wanted fer Christmas, simply because these friends
of the taxpayers" forgot to pay their own taxes, and
these chilarens' parents had to pay it through a larger
levy Just keep on smiling all you like, but the law OF
compensation will invariably swing to the side OF right,
and the Producers Moose gang will pay these taxes
either one way or another.
The Attorney General has rendered his opinion
that the law under which the local authorities planned
to collect these taxes cannot affect property assessed
previous to 1927, so we can only submit and the
Moose laugh.
Now let us see how honest they are. Let us
see how soon they will arrange to pay these taxes.
Only their Honesty now will ever compel payment
into the Sheridan County treasury.
Since this matter was given publicity this win
ter. we have had no response from the Producers
Moose, and there never will be one we fear, as they are
sacrosanct and beyond the law.
They refuse to answer any Of the numerous
charges we have made, and the reason is plain. They
haY no defense, excuse or generating reason. They
believe that by refusing to answer, and by absolutely
ignoring the charges that they will soon be forgotten,
but we are right here to say that in this instance they
are badly mistaken. This is a matter that will not be
forgotten by the public of Sheridan County, and time
will not erase it from the memories of the taxpayers
here.
"The friends Of the taxpayers" What a friend!!
