The greatest reason for SURPRISES
of farm products is diminished con-
sumption. The farmers best custom
ers are the labOrers. When they
are employed and getting fair wages
they purchase the products of the
farm. In times of depression folks
cut down in the food bill and if they
cut only 1910 that is enough to create
a big surplus and consequently the
prices go down.

Al-JOm- Hands With. Mainstreet
Convention

car Collins had smelled the rat, so
gates what a wonderful man SyN-
erud was and that he should be
sent to Helena to make laws. Be-
fore Syverud's delegates knew
what it was all about Syverud had
been nominated for State Repre-
sentative and the treasurer's job
was reserved for James Michels.
To think that this convention is
going to stop anybody from filing
is childish. The result of it is that
the mainstreet politicians are now
split up more than ever and every
body is set on getting in on some
kind of ticket. Bob Smith is
trembling all over: he wants to
file for sheriff, but doesn't dare
do it. He is afraid of losing his
job if he files. They claim he has
not done a days work for the last
three months. A job like that is
worth hanging on to, but Bob fig
ures that being sheriff would be
still better. Frank Murray would
also like to file, but he is afraid
he can't make the grade on &C
count of that Al Capone boy of his.
Frank French, Albert HOLMAN,
George Bolster, John Palubicki and
a lot of others are not going to
Lay down and die peacefully. The
political fight is just at its begin
ming. One thing the farmers
learned at this convention was
that everything was cut and dried
before they ever got here, and
mainstreet had them outwitted.
Just how the bunch nominated
can be expected to better the con-
ditions in Sheridan county is more
than anybody can figure out, It's
the same bunch that bankrupted
the county. All the promises of
being good if you elect them once
more is just that much bunk. But
there is no danger of them being
elected. When that time comes the
farmers are going to have a say
in the matter.

Taxes Of Sheridan County Get
All Baled Up

lowering taxes. Just how adding
another $8OO,000 valuation to the
land, for people to pay more taxes
on, could fit into their program is
mighty hard to understand. The
leaders of our Taxpayers Associa-
ton turned out to be people with
business ability, the same as our
county administration. The land
IN Sheridan county is worth $780,
600 more than we thought it was.
and we never knew it.
The further you live from town
the harder you are hit by this new
classification. Those who live
close to town are the ones who get
the benefit. What makes it inter
esting is, that the committee an
pointed by the Taxpayers Associ-
aion: Andrew LELAND, Carl Hole
and Erick Tiegen, the two commits
s1oners: French and Anker, all live
close 10 town, and knew enough to
lower their own taves, at the same
time making somebody else pay
taxes on another extra 100000
valuation. That's what you call a
business administration.
But there is nothing to WORRY
about, the farmers can not pay
their taxes anyway. Furthermore
the whole classification scheme has
gone all haywire. Attorney Cen
eral Foot has the nerve to come
out and hell us, that what these
smart men did is all wrong and
extremely unlawful: it has to be
done all over again. The commits
sioners had no right to change the
valuation.
That puts old Bolster, the asses.
sor, up the tree. He has kept q
small army busy mailing out tax
notices, and now they are al
wrong. Now he has to do it all
over again. That will relieve the
unemployment situation again fol
a long time and the county will gel
rid of some more warrants that
nobody will cash. How they are
going to get cash money to buy
the extra stamps with is some,
thing they have not been able t.
figure out yet.

BRENTWOOD DAY
LIGHT SAVING PLAN
COMES AND GOES

For just four days and nights
the city of Plentywood has been
one turmoil. Nobody knew just
where they were at. The school
bell rang an hour earlier than it
used to. When it was twelve o.
clock at the courthouse it was one
o'clock at the school. The train
that used to come at noon now
came in the middle of the after
noon. The restaurants served
meals all day and never knew if
they should call it breakfast or
dinner. Stores opened up before
people were out of bed and closed
up befor they got around to do a
little business. Plentywood had
"Golf Time"
When you want Golf Time, you
either set the sun one hour back
or you set your clock one hour
ahead. They claim that will give
the golf players one more hour in
which they can hunt for their lost
ball. After due consideration, our
city dads came to the conclusion
that Golf Time was just what
Plentywood needed, and we got it
on the first day of May.
AS soon as people realized what
had happNned, they started to pro-
test. This getting up an hour
earlier than usual felt just like
getting up in the middle of the
night. Some said the golf play
ers had all day long to hunt for
their lost ball, playing golf did not
interfere with their business, be-
cause they had no business any
way.
The Power Company also get
busy. Chasing people to bed one
hour earlier did not suit them at
all. While you sleep you do not
burn any light, and burning light
is what a power company is in
terested in. More petitions were
circulated and another special
meeting was held where the CITY
dads undid what they had donG
before. The daylight saving time,
or Golf Time" only lasted four
days IN Plentywood.
We can conscientiously say that
the Producers News had nothing
to do with this mess. There is
some talk around now about hav-
ing Fourth of July and Christmas
changed. Just what stand we will
take in this matter has not been
decided on yet.

years. Since then he retired and
lived in San Diego, Cal. He was

life and the Custer massacre have

Bv HANS RASMUSSEN

The convention is all over with,
and it was a good one, all ending
up in a row as we had expected.
For days Oscar Collins, Carl Pet
erson, Jack Bennett and others
had begn burning up gas and lin
ing up delegates all over the coun-
ty. The delegates waded thru the
mud in order to get here. They
had nearly all been promised an
office, and no muddy roads were
going to stop them.
When the eighty of them got
here. all expecting a job, they
found there was not enough jobs
to go all the way around, and most
of them Aeft that convention very
much disappointed. Many of them
saying it was the most double
crossing convention they had ever
attended, and no matter what the
Reds were going to call their tic
ket, they were going to vote her
straight from top to bottom.
After much wrangling the fol-
lowing candidates were nominated:
State Representative: Andrew
LELAND, Outlook
State Representative: Edgar
Syverud, Coalridge
County Commissioner: A. G. Oh
son. Homestead
County Attorney: Grant Bake
well, Pleptywood
Sheriff: Hans Madsen, Archer

sen, Plentywood
County Treasurer: James Mich
els, Reservation
Clerk of Court: Carl Peterson

Assessor: Chris Christensen

Supt. of Schools: Miss M. Mar
kuson, Plentywood
Surveyor: Robert Wheeler, Plen.
tywood
Harry Polk was quite a leading
factor in the convention and made
a big speel to the delegates. Nov
some of the defeated candidates
come out and wonder what bust
ness he had to come up here from
Wiliston and butt in on Sheridan
county politics. They even go 81
far as to say that they have founC
out that all that the Producer!
News has printed about his seduc
ing young girls, being kicked ou
of schools and lodges in Nortl
Dakota and being nothing but
petty CRATER, is all the truth.
Another one of the leading spin,
its was Oscar Collins. When i
comes to, scheming and double
crossing people, nobody can bea
Oscar. Frank Fishbeck once upo1
a time got Oscar a job in the Bor
der Patrol, where he got DRUM
and got fired. Fishbeck also go
Jack Bennett the postmaster Job
So naturally when Fishbeck filec
for the Clerk of Court job, he ex
pected the two to return the favo
and support him. But nothing do
ing: the two of them did all the,
could to get Carl Peterson nomin
ated, so Carl and his wife can ge
on the county payroll another fou
years.
Edgar Syverud was all set Of
the Treasurer's job and had
he hurried up and told the dele
bunch of delegates lined up. Os
