FARMERS SHOULD
GET WHEAT MILLED

The farmers of Sheridan county
should Immediately get all wheat
on hand to the mill and ground in
to flour and feed for use during
the coming year which must elapse
between now and another harvest.
The flour viii lbe needed by the
people, and farmers will need the
feed for their cattle.
All wheat in elevators, stored,
and the only wheat there we under
stand is the stored wheat, should
be Immediately withdrawn, and all
spare wheat on the farms should
be taken to the mills and made in
TO flour as soon as possible in oY-
der to prevent shipment and guar
antee flour. In this way the needs
of the people can be protected
just that much.
There is going to be want in
Sheridan county. In fact there Is
want here now. The Red Cross is
a poor feeder-those subsisting or
its mercy fare scant SO it is up t.
the people of the county to take
steps to take care of them
selves where ever they can, anC
by getting all wheat here reduced
to flour Immediately is the frs
practical step.
Do this without delayi
II you have more flour than yol
need hel pyour neighbor. If yDl
would be helped you must ais,
help.

Alabama Now Permits Tes-
tilnony Given by Atheists

Montgomery, Ala.-FP-Revers-
ing its earlier ruling that atheists
cannot give testimony in Alabama
courts, the court of appeals of Al
ALBANIA has decided that the testi-
mony of atheists may be legally
taken. The original, and adverse,
ruling was based on the theory
that without belief in a supreme
being there could be no valid oath.
Thi stheory was ascribed to the
common law, which presumed that
the witness, or maker of a declar-
alton at death, should hold a SUI
preme being as a "rewarder of
truth and avenger of falsehOod."
Section 8 of the Alabama con-
stitution guarantees all citizens a.
gainst religious tests for public
office or for citizenship rights.

Butte, Montana,

Special TO the Producers News
Where the work is going on near
Wolf Greek digging the ditch for
natural gas for the Anaconda
smelter and incidentally for Butte
and other cities an incident occur
red last week that marks the COM
plete breakdown of statute Law
when it meets natural law.
On this work which must be
costing a total of a million dollars
(the buoyant dailies proclaim that
it is costing twelve million so that
rates to the consumer will be fix
ed by the wire-wOrked utilities
commission, Lee Dennis, Dan Boyle
and Leonard Young, on a valua-
ton of twelve million dOllars)
about three hundred men are work
ing and about three hundred men
were standing around trying to
get work.
OOmmandeer Bread
Eddy's large bread truck appear
ed outside the commissary loaded
with bread for the contractors.
This bread, hungry job seekers
simply commandeered, pillaged,
took or stole according to the point
of view of the man describing it.
Bread is good as far as it goes but
it also takes beef to have a bar
becue. There were cow punchers
and butchers in the crowd and cat
tie in the hills. A hungry preacher
in the crowd opined: "The Savior
said man shall not live by bread
, alone" The jobless then rounded
, up a succulent steer and butchered
it. By that time the sheriff Of
+ Lewis & Clark county arrived in
answer to an urgent telephone call.
r Sheriff Comes
He asked loudly of the crowd,
"Who robbed the bread wagon .
One hundred and fifty men stood
up and sung out, eve did" He
then asked, "Who killed the steer
One hundred fifty more stood up
and sung out eve killed the steer. /"
Perhaps the sheriff saw the ex-
pense of loading three hundred
men on his county for food and
y lodging for several weeks. PrOba-
bly, he was a good hearted fellow
with a sense of humor. He could
It see the folly of trying to convict

SEAL SALE TO BEGIN DAY
FOLLOWING THANKSGIVING

tuberculosis League of King County
to obtain funds to carry on its work
throughout the year will start the day
after Thanksgiving and will continue
until Christmas, it was announced
yesterday by Corwin H. Eberting,
chairman of the Christmas Seal Sale
committee.
For many years the League has
been doing very constructive work, :"
said Mr.. Eberting, both for the pre-
vention Of tuberculosis and for the
education Of better care of those af-
flicted with this terrible disease. One
of the particularly commendable &C.
tivities of the League is its operation
of the summer health camp on Mercer
Island, called, Happy Acres" At this
camp undernourished Boys and girls
are given sunshine treatments In the
fresh air and careful health diets for
several weeks. This is one of the
most effective means of preventing
the spread of tuberculosis known.
"The maintenance of Happy Acres
comes mainly from the sale of seals
during the holiday season. We are
urging the public to be as generous as
possible in their purchase of seals
this year as the need is great"
Headquarters for the 1881 Seal Sale
have been established at the Leagues
office, 61l5 Arcade Square, in charge
of Mrs. Rosa W. Klingenberg. Execu-
tive Secretary.
