Juror Has Spill

While returning to his home at
Antelope last week end from Plen-
tywood where he has been serving
on the jury the past month, Paul
Christensen had the misfortune
to run off the road near the Falxa
place east of town and roll down
the bank quite seriously damaging
the car. In commenting on the
accident he said that he passed an
other car and in turning out the
the wheels cut into the loose dirt
at the edge of the bank causing
his car to go into the ditch, rolling
over several times. He said he was
Cutting the breeze" at the time
and it all happened so quickly
that he hardly realized what had
happened only that he thought the
car never would stop rolling. Ex-
cept for a severe shaking up he
came through the ordeal unscathed.

Stanley Rue Is Punched
For Too Fast Driving

Stanley Rue, recent high school
graduate, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Len
Rue was arrested for speeding by
Chief of Police Rookie the first of
the week, and taken before City
Magistrate George Munson where
he paid fine. of $3.50 and costs.
This was the first arrest under the
ordinance.
Young Rue is one of Plenty
woods famous flaming youths
who burns up the streets when he
travels on his important and inter-
esting affairs.
He had plainly of excuse as US
ual for His Honor and besides be-
ing of some social standing in the
city, His Honor dealt probably
more gently with him than he
would have, had the prisoner been
of more common clay.
1t is hoped that this will be a
lesson to the young man and slow
him down before anybdy. else goes
under the wheels.

HARVEST HUNS
In SOUTHWEST
LITTLE OUTSIDE MAN-POW-
Err is NEEDED IN REAP
ING BIG WHEAT CROP.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 49,
Reaping machinery hummed its
way through fields of yellow
grain today in the annual harvest
of the sOuthwest's prolific wheat
crop, which the farmer hopes, to
some extent, will make up in size
for prices the lowest in a third of
a century.
.abOr commissioners in Kansas
Oklahoma and Texas, once. the
summer rendezvous for. the. ma
tons transient. labor. reported
their states would harvest an of
ficially estimated yield of. 1885,
451, 900 bushels with little, if any,
outside help.
C. ]. Beckman, Kansas state
labor commissioner, has predicted
$50 TO 81 a day as the wage
for the hands for harvest wheat
for which the farmer will receive
an indicated price of 80 to 40
cents a bushel.

BANK AT GRENORA
Is STILL OPEN

Last week, in reporting the
bank failures of this area, the
bank of GrenOra was included
in the list. This was a mistake
the GremOra bank had not closed
and is still open and operating.
The report of the closing of
the GrenOra bank was brought
to PlentywOOd early in the week
and it was accepted here as a
matter of mdisDuted fact. The
Producers News did not learn
of the mistake until the paper
was printed and mailed, and inn
possible to correct.
Another bank in Montana was
also reported in PlentywOOd to
have closed but the report was
discovered to be false in time to
correct and was corrected be-
fore the paper was printed.
The Producers News is very
sorry that the report of the fail
ure of the GrenOra bank found
its way into it's columns. and
thus does what it can do to rec
tify any harm done the bank.
However, mistakes of this
sort are the inevitable and lOgi-
cal results of the policy of the
bankers of suppressing the
news of bank and commercial
failures in an effort to keep
the facts of the present eco
nOmic catastrophe from the
people, because they think it
bad for their business for the
people 10 know the truth. Ii
the news of bank failures were
reported in the press instead of
being suppressed, mistakes of
this sort would not occur and
the wild and unverified TumOrs
that now travel from mouth to
ear would not be SO prevalent.
For this the bankers and sup
porters of the capitalist system
have themselves to blame.

Hyde they said farmers credit was
exhausted and assistance is neces-
sary, if livestock is to be kept and
the counties not reduced to a des-

Delegations came from north
western North Dakota and north
eastern Montana to tell Brown,
