The new leader of the Ma
tional Farmers Union ex-
pressed this belief followino
his election at the conven-
ton just closed, but had
nothing to say about the
federal farm board.
Does Not Need Farm Relief.
The country doesn't need farm
relief-it needs labor" he said.
More relief to the farmer is 90
ing to put him further in the hole.
Helping the farmer does worse
than nothing when no one can buy
the farmers products so that he
can help himself.
! No Surplus of Anything.
/ There is no surplus of anything
and the only way to get farm re-
lief is to get a job for every man
IN the country. When people are
working, they will buy flour and
cotton and automobiles. Feeding
wheat to. the hogs is not helping
hungry humanity. AS soon as the
government steps in and finances
a labor revival we will learn the
surplus talk was all bunk"
He advocated federal loans to
states for improvement projects,
thus furnishing a source of Jobs,
adding what they need in Wash
ington is a man like General
CoXey. | say give every man in
the country a job; then see how
quickly the farmer gets on his
feet. That is what the govern
ment should do"
Simpson Election Surprise
The election in st. Paul of Simp-
son to succeed C. E. Huff of Sa-
lima, Kansas, who has been at the
head of the Farmers Union for
years, proved to be somewhat of
a surprise as it was believed that
Simpson and his supporters were
in the minority.
Simpson is opposed to the Farm
Board policy, and has denounced
Legge as a traitor to the farmers
on many occasions.
Huff, also president of the Far
mers National Grain Corporation,
is a supporter of the Federal Farm
boards policies and the federal
marketing act. He was backed for
reelection by representatives of
the spring wheat states of the
northwest.
Huff was supported by Mime
sofa, North Dakota, Wisconsin,
Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Mon
tana, Kansas Missouri and Ken
lucky delegates. The other 16
states represented in the organiza-
ton either have acted passively to-
ward the farm board or have been
openly opposed to it.
Great Falls Gets 1881 Convention.
Great Falls Mont. was chosen
as the 1881 meeting place.

Resolutions adopted Endorsed

servatory of Music at Boston. Seldom

notes of the violins in the hands of Mr.
Adrien Hebert and Mr.. Felix Hebert
were likened to the human voice. Miss
