 New York, July 22.-(UP)-In the absence of definite news from the London conference to-day, stock market traders jumped to fantastic conclusions regarding the negotiations and sold stocks on all sorts of dire rumors. They also sold German and South American bonds, these issues breaking to more than 10 points.
 Meanwhile in foreign exchange trading the pound sterling dropped nearly a cent while the franc. ad- vanced. This flight of capitar from the pound was considered alarming. The Bank of England to-day reported sale of $17,250.- 900 bar gold, bringing withdrawals since July 15 to $82,500,000 and reducing gold holdings to approxi- mately $750,O00,000. Most of the gold withdrawn has been shipped to France, 1t was said.
 Selling in stocks brought the Dow-Jones industrial average down to 143.19 off 3.51 points from the previous close; railroad to 80.23 off 0.76 and utility 5S.25 off 1.03. Sales to 1:30 D. m. totaled 700, 900 shares, against 8OO,0O0 shares in the cor responding period yesterday.
 United States Steel common stock was forced to 94 1-4 off 3 points from yesterdays close. American Can broke to 102 7-s off 3 IA points and Continental Can dipped to 5O1-4 off 3-4.
 Weakness in the foregoing shares hinged on the weekly steel reviews which found steel ingot production down to 30 per cent of capacity for the whole industry and tinplate production off s per cent from the recent level of 65 per cent. This lat ter decline was asscribed to reduc- ton in can making operations, a factor which brought selling into the can company shares.
 Else where stocks sold off 1 to more than points. Allied Chem ical was down more than 4 at 1181-2. Air Reduction dipped 1-4 points to 70 3-4 on estimates earnings for the first half of 1881 would be equivalent to $40 a share, against $3.80 in the corre- spending 1880 period.
 Consolidated Gas and American Telephone broke more than 2 points each. oil shares succumbed after early steadiness and showed frac- tional losses all around in the late afternoon. General Motors was down a fraction in advance of it's earnings report for the first half to be announced after the close to- day. Rails lost fractions to more than ? points.

EANLI IhADlNn
 New York. July 22.-UUP)-Fear of q deadlock in the London con ference of seven powers on the Ger man crisis brought selling into the stock market here to-day and prices reacted fractions to 2 points in accelerated trading.
 The New York Stock Exchange decline followed an easier tone in London and Paris. markets. In the latter market, prices turned heavy after a quiet opening and volume increased on the decline.
 Heavy losses were noted in the leading issues here. U. 2. Steel dropped to 96 off 1h on 1.5O0 shares at the opening. The issue was selling at exactly the same price on the London Stock Ex- change.
 Westinghouse Electric dropped to 66M off 1N: Case 73h off l; Amer ican and Foreign Power 30b oT : Montgomery Ward 20N off \; Vanadium 31N off X; General Electric 42M off ss; Auburn Auto ITO off IA; Consolidated Gas 9i R off 4 and Columbia Gas 30A on ].

WHO'D EsALE COMBINATIONS

Broadcasting Of national or semi-na-
tional advertising over the air has met with
wholesale condemnation of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association, who
adopted a resolution at New York on Thurs
day last declaring that such radio programs
were advertising matter that should be paid
for.
Two other resolutions were adopted to
curtail the competition Of radio in the adver-
Using world. One endorsed proposed federal
legislation imposing on radio station the
same restrictions about lottery advertising
that now apply to newspapers, and author.
lied an investigation into the legality OF
broadcasting direct advertising.
1t is the desire of the publishers that no
news shall be sent out over the radio, as such
news is always gathered at the expense OF
the the United Press, Associat-
ed Press and other large newsgathering me-
diums.
Presidents of the two broadcast net
works had no comment to make on the action
taken.
The Of this nation will soon
become one united body in resisting the adj
v~ertising of national products over the net
works, and will eventually mean the com
plete curtailment of such advertising over
the air.

Plentywood is being invaded by a horde
of beggars and pedddlers of all sorts. Book
agents, wooden mill statesmen and the ever
lasting magazine subscription agents telling
there same old scholarship" story. They
even carry the scholarship with them this
year.
Patronize home trade. We do not need
any bookagents. Anything we need in that
line can be obtained through our library. Our
needs in the line of wooden goods can be sup
piled through our home stores better than
through any solicitors who do not pay a dol
lar in taxes in this county. Magazines can be
subscribed for through our local newsdealer
or through The Herald direct. The rates.,
prices and privileges will in hone of these in
stances be higher, and mostly lower than
from the peddlers and canvassers.

REV. f. J. Bot
STATIONED HERE
ANOTHER YEAR

The pastor of the local Evangelical
church just returned from Billings,
where he has been attending the An
nual Conference of the Montana Div
ision of the Evangelical Church. The
conference began April 23rd and clos
ed Sunday April 26th. Business meet
ings were held both morning and af-
ternoons of each day except Sunday.
Services or worship were held every
evening and three times on Sunday.
Bishop George E. Epp of Cleveland,
Ohio presided owe the conference. Re-
ports from all the fields of labor were
presented and were found to be very
favorable in their gains and increases.
The Evangelical church has eleven
fields of labor in Montana with ten
stationed pastors. One of these eleven
fields was left without a pastor as
one of the men is planning to take up
more training. This field will be sup
piled with a pastor in the near flu
ture. The cities where these pastors
are located are Big Timber, Billings,
Columbus, Fallon, Livingston, Mis-
soula, Plentywood, Rapelje, Reed
Point and Rudyard. Over these eleven
pastors and fields the Evangelical
church has a presiding elder or dist
riot superintendent who visits the
various fields four times each year.
Two new churches were built during
the last year. One at Billings and one
at Livingston. The Lord has been
greatly blessing the membership Of
these places and while the new build
ings were built large, it is feared that
pleased to say that the s%tationing
committee of the conference was leu
of the Lord to send the same pastor
back to Plentywood for another year.
Another conference year is before us
with all it's opportunities and it is up
to us whether this year is going to
be a fruitful one or not. We enter it,
fully yielded to the Lord and ready to
do His bidding. May it be a year
when many shall settle that great
matter of their eternal salvation and
find peace to their hearts in the Saw
Tor, Jesus Christ. May Christian peo-
pie find greater joys and strength in
Christ. May we hold the good old gos-
pei our only message and say with
the apostle Paul, Il am not ashamed
of the gospel of Christ: for it is the
power Of God unto salvation to every.
one that believeth."

AND CRIME

Governor Roosevelt of New York
who, according to the New York Times,
may go down in history as the prison re-
form Governor has suggested an investl-
CATION into the probation system for prison
ers. This follows his work in recognizing
the parole system, and in making the punish
ment fit the criminal as we'll as the crime.
Our crime reformers would do well to
emulate the example Of Governor Roosevelt
and turn their attention to improving the ex-
listing legal and criminal system, instead OF
seeking to inflict more restrictive laws on an
already over-legislated people. Crime and
punishment have been given little scientific
study, and there has never been any endeav-
or, on a national scale, to adjust parole and
probation to modern conditions. Our laws
have become steadily more technical and
personally restrictive with amazing increase
in organized criminality as the result.
We seem to have lost sight of the fact
that it should be the purpose of law to pro-
tect the rights and liberties of law-abiding
citizens, o to abrogate or cancel them on
the dubious theory hat by giving the Grim
inal or the honest citizen more laws to
break, lawlessness will be lessened.

LAST SUNDAY AFTERNOON

led by We editor and his family drove
to Scobey Sunday. We were quite
amazed to see the thousands and tens
Of thousands of acres Of farm land
that has not been seeded this year.
This is especially applied in the Flax
vile territory.
While at Scobey we talked with
about a dozen farmers who used to
come to Plentywood quite often. We
asked one and all of these farmers
what attitude they had regarding
Referendum 35 to be voted on next
week. Invariably they were in favor
of the measure and said that as far
as they knew there was no opposition
in their neighborhood's.
We also talked with several busin-
ess men at Scobey and they said the
same-they were in favor of the mea-
usre and the people throughout the
county area lso in favor Of the meas
ure, and they believed it would carry
lat least 10 to ! in Daniels county.

The dry weather continues here, but
the dust storms have ceased-at least for the
time being. The old saying hat a wet season
follows a dry one should mean something
here We have had two dry years. Only ~
inches of rain fell here in three years time
and our average should be 49, inches. How
ever, when we bark back to 1914 and 1918
we should find some consolation. Those
two years it was just as dry and dusty as
this spring, and it did not commence to rain
until the last days of May, and after the
flood gates of heaven were opened, we had
plenty of moisture and raised such crops as
never before-or after.

GETTING TO EARTH

DODGE and argue as much as we please,
" TO put the blame on the grain gamblers,
he ''big-biz", or any other excuse, the re-
possibility for the present wheat situation
rets right back to the men who grew 1t. 1t
nav not have been here in the northwest
where we have had two short crops, but the
wheat growers throughout the world at
arqe. If the only response to this is we
annot grove anything else that will make
nore money" which seems unfortunately to
,a true, then the only answer IS that tor the
,ext few years our farmers must revamp
heir methods of gaining a livelihood. They
must look to their land to supply the food
o a much greater extent than the average
northwestern farmers nave done tor many
wears past. If grain products does not ex-
change for enough to take care OF the store
bills. the farmers must cease having so many
bills. and grow more Of his own food. The
garden. home-cured meats, more home can
ned foods of all kinds must be the answer.
Our farmers must get more dairy stock,
pigs and chickens, and stop depending en-
tirely upon wheat raising as a livelihood.
Then whatever the income there may
be from grains, can go for clothes and such
foods as the farm cannot produce.
The cream check will contribute great
ly towards this, even tho the grain crop
should fall short both in quantity and price.
Haven't time to putter with a gar
den" Well, the space devoted to a garden
will be the most profitable piece of ground
on the farm and pay the best returns for the
time spent on it. Some Of our farmers who
think this is a backward step, like starting
back to the old days of the self-contained
farm when it produced nearly everything
tie farmer had, including clothes, should
o'op and think back a few years ago to our
worst drought period in 1918 to 1921. The
,rms that weatherel the storm of crop fail
res those years all had big gardens, milk
w chickens, pigs and some also had
heep. Those farmers pulled through in spite
f the fact that everything they had to buy
vas three to four times as high as the same
'rticle costs today. The farmers who did not
ave time to bother with a garden, a flock
If chickens, milk cows and hogs, are most
Of them gone from this county now.
Many of these who did raise most
Of their own food and through sale Of such
farm produce, obtained money for clothing,
md such foods as cannot be raised on our
farms, have ceased that %antiquated method
md gone to raising grain exclusively, and
ave sold or killed off all their poultry, cat
le and hogs, but at this stage of the game
vhen they go broke producing grain for a
lutted world market, they will once again
ave to turn their attention to this former
node of living.
The farmer who does this will help
long the termination Of the present glutted
rain market condition, and will rush the
ime for the turning Of the tide. Those who
~efuse and persist in continuing to glut the
market with overproduction Of grain, will &c
ike those who lost their farms here in the
period from 1918 to 1921.
This is a game of the survival of the
f%ittest, and we must face the changed con.
dition.

If the farmers in Montana raised more
dairy stock and less wheat, there would be
far more contentment. There would also be
ron for about four times as many farmers
here. In fact, had dairy been resorted to in
the early days, there would not have been
any farms foreclosed on.
