Fanatics Know No Law

DR.. Wilson, the contrary, is under obligations
whatever, for he is propaganda The voting at
Detroit which offended him to the point of insulting
the American soldiery wasn't unanimous. AS recall
it, the vote stood about two to one; large enough
majority to indicate general trend, but not large
enough to signify the degeneracy of the American SOL
dier If three hundred Legionnaires had voted the
other way the Legion would not have asked for refer
endum on prohibition-which, and not repeal, was
what it did ask for If hundred and fifty had voted
against, there would have been tie. 1t seems to me
that the vote of small number is insufficient data
for any sweeping statement. 1t to also, that
asking for free vote any subject is legitimate
exercise of American prerogatves but that is not
important The difference between the scientific mind

PATENTED PROCESS
BRINGS OUT finer
FLAVOR IN COFFEE
Controlled Roasting Gives
Hills Bros. Coffee Flavor
No Other Coffee Has

As everybody knows, the flavor
way it is brewed. Especially dis
appointing is the result when
coffee stays on the fire too long
or is taken off too soon.
Similar unsatisfactory results
can occur in the roasting of coffee.
If the blend is roasted too long or
not enough there is a noticeable
difference in flavor between the two
lots. Even with watchful care such
variation is exceedingly difficult to
prevent when coffee is roasted in
large quantities.
Realizing this, Hills Bros. origi-
mated and patented continuous
process which roasts coffee few
pounds at time, instead Of in bulk.
The quantity of coffee passing into
the roaster does not vary. The
speed of operation and the tempera-
ture remain the same with the
result that Hills Bros. Coffee is
absolutely uniform and has u
flavor no other coffee has.
Hills Bros. Coffee never "goes
stale" because it is packed in
vacuum. By this process air, which
destroys the flavor of coffee, is taken
from the can and kept out. Or
dinary cans, even if air-tight, do
not keep coffee fresh. Ask for Hills
Bros. Coffee by name and look for
the Arab-the trade-mark-on
the can. Sold by grocers every
where.

DAIRY PRODUCTS
USE INCREASES
ALL OVER STATE

That the campaign ofthe Ell Gen.
tro Chamber of Commerce to in
crease the use of Imperial County
dairy products is bringing results is
proven by statistics received today
from the California Dairy Council,
which show that sales of butter sub
stitute in Imperial county for April
of this year showed q dcline of 40
per cent over sales in April, 1880. A
number of other Califrnia coun-
ties. primarily agricultural, which
have conducted similar campaigns
also show a decrease in the sale Of
butter substitutes for April this year
ever the same month last year. Mo-
doc county shows a decline of "a
per cent in sales of butter subSt!-
tutes: Colusa county q per cent,
Shasta county 68 per cent, Glenn
county 68 per cent; Sdano county
65 per cent, Marin comfy SO per
cent. Monterey county So per cent,
Merced county 81 per cent. Stanis-
laus county 60 per cent, Humboldt
county 81 per cent, Contra Costa 55
| per cent. Tehama county 81 per cent,
Alameda county so per cent, and
San Joaquin county so per cent.
These figures and percentages are
based on official records of the state
of California and United States bu-
leau of internal revenue. The fig
ures show that sales of butter sub
stitute in California as whole have
taken an enormous drop, particu-
larly in the dairy counties where ag-
gressive campaigns have been car
ried on and butter substitute sales
IN the entire state show a decline OF
933 ,480 pounds, or drop OF 50 per
cent, April, 1881. over the same
month a year ago. Sales through
out the nation for the quarter end
ing in April have shown decline
of 3O,952 ,735 or 26 per cent, in butter
substitute sales.
In connection with the farm bu-
reau and county market milk asso-
citation the El Centro chamber has
been conducting a campaign since
February to increase the use OF To-
cal dairy products. Through the
columns of the newspapers, by
means of display cards, through lee
lures and contests the public has
been advised of the health giving
qualities of fresh Imperial county
milk and cream and urged 10 use
more dairy products. The campaign
will be continued for several months
and next fall lecturers, moving pic
lures and booklets will be available
to further educate the public on
the need of supporting local dairy
farmers. The above figures indi-
cate that the campaign is meeting
with results which means increased
prosperity, for upon the success Of
the dairy farmer depends the pros
perity of Imperial Valley.

SEVEN FEET OF HONESTY
BY HANS RASMUSSEN

U0U WILL RECALL how the gambling editor
Burley Bowler, from ScObey, TO this
county not long ago-came here to help save
county from thieves. You remember how he
visited with county commissioners and held little
meetings here and there-how he classed the Medi-
cine Lake Twins, Joe Dolin and Frank French
among the burglars and crooks-something Joe
and Frank have never denied, something our
people new before.
He told how the Plentywood Herald could buy
the printing contract for thousand dollars. He
told how all graft and all crookedness would stop
al once and how much better it would be for all
the people in the county if the printing was given
without bids to the honest and upright firm con-
sisting of him and Harry Polk and represented by
a third of their kind in Plentywood. He just loved
the people of our county.
Never again would our county have reason to
complain about the printing bills as long as it
was left to the honest twins Burley and Harry.
So the printing contract was given to the Plenty
wood Herald by Anker and French without COM
petition-without bids. If any arrangement was
made for more than thousand dollars it has new
er been disclosed. Sheridan county was saved
from burglars and thieves by Burley Bowler of
Scobey. And what do we find?
We find that these honest people from the very
start attempting to skin the county and grab
all they possibly can get away with. The very
first commissioners proceedings they printed is
spread over an unusual amount of space. Print
ing is paid for by the folio. The more space the
more pay. 1t bad that even Frank French
and Victor Anker could not stand for it but had
to take the Herald to task and cut their bill down
from $68.4O to $61.2O.
At the time the printing let the Producers
News had submitted a bid, which the two COM
missioners would not even look at. Had the Pro-
ducers News got the printing contract at its fig
ures, the printing of this very same commission
ers proceedings, for which the Herald asked $684O
and was paid by the county $61.2O, would have
been printed by the Producers News for $2720
But, when the Producers News submitted its bid
there was no deal made about anybody getting
thousands dollars out of it
Compare the s61.20 with the $27 for publish
ing the same commissioners proceedings and see
how you like it. Take the figures to honest Victor
Anker and ask him how he likes it. Ask him how
his seven feet of fairness and absolute honesty
feels about it. Ask him if he is still proud of
the fact that he is making the taxpayers pay
S61.2O for $2720 worth of service Ask him if
an honest man, whose word can not be depended
upon, should still be regarded as honest or if he
should be looked upon as a crook Ask him if
our county commissioners are here to look after
the interests of own people or if they are here
to look after somebody in Scobey and Williston.
Ask him if Burley Bowler gave him a thousand
dollars or what part of it he got.
