 Senator Wheeler asserted that turing the last year fifty thousand men in this country were kept busy manufacturing thirty million dol lars worth of goods that Russia im- ported from the United States and but for the shortsighted and stu pid policy of dealing with Rus- sia, the amount might have been much greater"
 Senator Wheeler said there was no danger of Russia's five year in- dustrial plan affecting the United States, regardless of whether 1t is successful or failure.

LOOTING THE PLENTYWOOD
BANK
By HANS RASMUSSEN

IN BROAD DAYLIGHT last week car drove up
4 in front of the newly closed bank in Plenty
wood. The bank had been closed "for the pro-
lection of the depositors" The maiastreet paper
was yapplng about what fine shape the bank was
III and how everybody was going to be protected
and get his.
When the bank closed some little item must
have been overlOoked-that little item was in the
form of twO-bushel sack full of money Some
said there was fOrty-sX thousand dollars Any
way 1t took several men to carry it from the closed
bank to the waiting automobile The car moved
Slowly with the sack to the railroad depot where
the sack was unOaded and left until the train
came and took it out of town-never to return!
While this was going on dozens of people
were sitting on the curb chewing gum and looking
on All O1 them were out of work and some of
them were hungry; some of them had lost every
thing they had in the closed bank After the train
mad left town, with what was said to be fortv-six
thousand dollars, everybody spitted out the chew
ana told one another what should have been done
and what was going to be done whenever anything
tnat happened again-just at the time when it

streeter in town would have gotten in the nost

purpose of killing them. Not for the protection of
the depositors but for the protection of some in

Suppose some of the depositors had stepped
up when that sack was carried out of the bank
and had demanded what they had coming. Sup-
pose they had taken theirs and had scattered what
was lett In the sack the street in order to put

ers should abolish the giving of
poor orders to local merchants at
once and should cooperate with
the Red Cross committee in buy
ing wholesale and distributing
from depots. There should be no
delay in adopting this policy for
the Ooner it is adopted the more
money there will be saved for
just that much more food.
There are two flour mills in this
county. A contract should be made
with them to grind from 5000 to
10000 barrels of flour and for all
the mill feed incidental to that
production. The local flour has
the most food value and is the
cheapest. These mills can also
make graham and whole wheat
flour and breakfast food cheaper
than those items can be secured
any other way. If there is not
sufficient wheat in the county to
keep the mills going, a demand
should be made on the Farm Board
to ship in wheat it has in storage.
No wheat in elevators should be
allowed to be shipped out, but
should be held for seed and flour
and this should be commandeered
at a fair price and there should
be no delay-for it may be shipped
out any time leaving the county
destitute of wheat, and cost money
to ship back again.
The Red Cross officials insist
that grocery men "have a right to
live, too" That may be but nc
right to live off the money given
to feed starving, either thru the
Red Gross or by the taxpayers thru
the poor relief. The taxpayers
want the poor fund to buy every
ounce of food possible, and none to
go for profits that can be avoided.
The statement that the grocerymen
"have agreed" to fill relief orders
for cost plus 10 per cent, is Just
begging the question. Who is to
know whether they do that or not?
Will they put the prices on the
orders they fill, and will they fur
nish invoices to the county com
mittees, and will Red Cross head
quarters ask for invoices? We
doubt it! In fact everyone knows
that they will do nothing of the
sort. The Plentywood grocerymen
are selling from 20 to 80 per cent
higher than is charged for grocer
les in Williston or even at Archer,
Coalridge or Dagmar and they will
continue to do so.
These men will find it embar-
RAISING to sell for cost plus 10 per

the merchants can't live without

anyone else-they are no better
