Dagmar UFL Debates

The debate arranged by the
Dagmar local of the United Far
merS League and held in the Dag
mar store last Tuesday drew a
big crowd. Although it was a
bitter cold day, farmers had come
from far and near and over 200
of them packed the upstairs of the
store, with a sprinkle of business
men in between to do the listening
in and report back.
James Lodahl and Hans Ras-
mussen did their best and tried to
explain and defend the two issues
under debate-the Liberty Party
and the Communist Party.
After the two had run out of
wind, the discussion was thrown
wide open and become a free fol-
all fight in which several farmers
took part and done well, showing
that the two issues was something
on which many of them had made
quite study and were we'll post
ed. The general sentiment seemed
to be that the Liberty party wa
something put on the market il
order to confuse the people, anC
Isplit up the votes and give the oil
parties that much easier sailing.

of it. He has thought up scheme

County Dads" Meet
Bv HANS RASMUSSEN


The three day session of the
county commissioners slipped by
without being much disturbed by
farmers coming in in punches and
making demands. 1t was bitterly
cold and the roads not any too
good.
Mrs. Florence Ziebarth was dis
charged after she had been draw
ing her $4,000 per month for the
longest time, and after it was abb
solutely impossible to find any
more work for her to do. Frank
French insisted on having the dis
charge published in the commits
sioners' proceedings so that every
body could see what an economic
al administration we have.
1 Victor Anker had an economical
spell all of his own and presented
a typewriter resolution suggest
ing cutting the clerks wages 10
per cent. Anker knows that climb
ing over where the fence is lowest
, is what gives you the least
trouble. The clerks are now being
, paid with warrants which they can
not cash at all or else big dis
count. Besides this they are COM
PEELED to dig up to the Red Cross
: every pay day. Carl Hansen in
sisted that if any cut should bt
made, it should include everybody
t officers as well as clerks, but thil
e was going further than anybody
!. else wanted to follow so the mat
ter was entirely dropped.
For some reason or other /
seems as tho the county agent j
getting sick. of his job and want
to quit. He and Mr.. Taylor fror
Bozeman appeared before tn
board to talk things over and wer
R told that the Commissioners di
y not intend to hire an agent fo
another year. An agreement wa
V made that the county agent shoul
Is stay on the job until May frs
