CURB STOCKS GAIN
IN ACTIVE MARKET.
Utilities Issues Are Favored
as Trading Volume Shows
Increase.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 10.-Led by the
utilities, curb exchange stocks advanced
rapidly today into new high ground for
the recovery. Trading became more ac-
tive as the session progressed but it did
not approach the heavy proportions OF
Tuesday.
Taking their cue from the strength
of utility issues on the big board. traders
pushed up Electric Bond & Share above
22-a new top for the recovery which
represents $40 per cent appreciation
from the low of the year. American
Gas & Electric found a new top above
3012. There were substantial advances
in American g. Foreign Power War
rants, American Light g. Traction,
American Superpower, Commonwealth
Edison, Eastern States Power B, Ma
gara-Hudson Power, United Light 6s
Power A and Utilities Power & Light.
Utility preferred stocks continued their
advance, most issues reaching their best
prices Of the recovery.
Cities Service was active, reaching D
in volume trading before reacting par
t.a'ly. Gulf Oil cf Pennsylvania ran up
above 40, more than 2 points higher on
the day. The StanGard Oil shares were
quieter but pointed higher.
InGustrials pursued an erratic course
during early trading, but finally joined
the rise. Aluminium Co. of America
ran up 3 points. A. o. Smith can
celled an opening decline and reached
a new top for the movement. There
were gains in American Cyanamid B.
Glen Alden Coal, Swift International,
Swift g. Co., and Lehigh Coal and Nav1-
CATION.
Little interest was manifested In trad
ing corporation shares. These invest
ment favorites Of the bull market OF
1923 and 1929 have not as yet at
tracted a following. Their recovery
from the 1882 lows has been negligible.
Mine shares paralleled the general
advance. Newmont was about a point
higher New Jersey Zinc was a point
higher. For the June quarter the com
pany reported a net profit OF $487 1876,
equal to 25 cents a share, against $751;
103 or 80 cents a share in the pre-
ceding quarter and $865,252 or A cents
a share in the June quarter OF 1881.
The feature of the motor list was
StutZ, which made another top for
the year above IT. The company's
sales have recently been reported in
creasing and a pool is rumored to be
operating in the stock.

AS now is reported,
A bill is now in Congress
To have them all depOrted."
Why doesn't the Herald come out
openly and admit that it was one
of the ringleaders in the mainstreet
attempt to have Simon Swanson de-
ported. 1t comes out openly and
states that all foreign-born farm
ers who have been fighting mill
family for relief and against the
attacks of the masters of main
street, the Wall Street bankers,
should be deported. 1t lines it
self up with Deportation Doak,
Secretary of the Department of
Labor, who deported 10000 work
ers during 1881 and has promised
to deport even more this year. The
boundary hoppers at least wear
uniforms so that all who pass can
recognize them for what they are.
Put on your uniform, Harry.
Don't go around hiding in mans
clothing. You. are a worthy re-
cruit to Doak's bloodhOunds.

SEED LOANS COMING
SLOW

If you take trip thru the coun-
ty, you will only see a farmer here
and there working in the field.
The rest of them are waiting for
their seed and feed loan. They
simply can not start before they
get it. What horses are left are
nothing but skin and bones, their
tractors are without gas and re-
pairs, granaries without seed.
Many applied for loans four and
five weeks ago and have not
heard a word yet. 1t is getting
late and people are getting nerv-
Gus: they want to be doing some
thing. They wire here and wire
there and no result comes out of
it.
The latest report is that some
new rules and regulations, some
more red tape has been inventd,
giving some more people a chance
to get at Hoover's pie counter and
building up the Hoover machine
for the next election. The farmers
can wait until the pie-eaters gel
good and ready.

CARL HANSEN SCORES VICIOUS
PLENTYWOOD HERALD EDITORIAL
Ignorance and Hypocrisy Basis of New Attempt to
Msead Farmers of County

ley Bowler tripe to fool the people
of this county. Such propaganda
might work in Daniels county or
down at Williston, but not in Sher-
idan county. The owners of the
Plentywood Herald has shown the
people that they are not concerned
about the golden rule or about the
principles of Christianity. They
are only concerned about their
own selfish greed and are trying
to hide behind a religious cloak
for the purpose of deceiving the
people. When the printing con-
tract comes up to be let 10 the
highest bidder, religion and patri-
otism are swept aside and the
maxim of "grab all you can while
the grabbing is good" holds forth.
THE idea of bringing peoples reli-
gion or their lack of religion into
! politics is not a new one. 1t is
just the same old political noise
made by grafters when they feel
their throne tottering. 1t was
brought into the political fights of
the Nonpartisan League years ago,
when they were accused of being
free lovers and atheists and /
suppose it always will be a favor
lite argument against any move
ment which doesn't suit the main
streeters.
But contrary to the statement
made by the Herald writer, the
United Farmers League does not
object to any and all religion. We
invite the Catholic as well as the
Protestant or the Atheist to join
our ranks. A persons religion is
no concern of the United Farmers
League and is something each per-
son will have to settle to his own
satisfaction. But it does not speak
very highly of the Herald writer's
own religious state of mind, when
, he will stoop so low as to bring
: his religion into politics in order
! that he may gain political power
for himself.

By CARL HANSEN

Last week the editor of the Plen-
tywood Herald went into a politi-
cal and religious spasm, because
of the fact, that representatives of
the United Farmers League had
appeared in Plentywood business
houses soliciting advertising to be
printed on the programs announc-
ing the mass convention which was
held at the Farmer-Labor Temple
on Saturday, April 9th. Although
the Herald writer would like to
leave the impression that they all
refused, he knows better than
that, because several ads did ap-
pear on said programs, not be-
cause of threats made against
them, but because some Plenty
wood merchants realize that it is
of benefit to them to have people
come to Plentywood. That some
did refuse shall not be denied, be-
cause their line of thoughts run
pretty much in the same groove as
the Herald writers.
The Herald editorial is especial
Ily noticeable for its ignorance of
facts or perhaps for its malicious
attempt to confuse the readers
mind. The writer is laboring I'M
der the illusion that the United
Farmers League and Communism
are the same thing. But it is a
safe bet, that he has never read
the platform of either organiza-
ton. And somehow the idea has
settled in his head, that the Rec
Flag of the universal working man
is also the emblem of Communist
Russia. Almost any child OF
school age could have put hin
right on this, if he had only take1
the trouble to ask.
He is despairing of the fact thai
the farmers have come to Plenty
: wood and marched while carrying
the Red flag, just as if no othe1
organization ever marched thrV
town carrying it's own emblem.
And for the benefit of the Her
| aid writer l will state that tn
Red Flag came in being long be
fore Communism was ever thot OF
The Herald writer brings fort
the idea that since the Producer
News, the official organ of tn
United Farmers League, carrie
more or less news from Commun
, list sections throughout the world
that everybody having anything t
, do with said organization must b
a Communist. This Herald write
,, completely lost sight of the fac
that the Producers News print
whatever its readers are interest

out the winter has been carrying

views on Communism.

HERALD LINES UP.
WITH DEPORTATION.
DOAK'S ATTACKS.
MILITANT FARMERS SHOULD
BE DEPORTED, SAYS HARRY
POLK'S MOUTHPIECE

The Plentywood Herald in its
last issue published a "poem" a.
bout the United Farmers League,
put in verse by reader" name
not given. The body of the "poem"
is concerned in the malicious way
common to mainstreet, with the
Hunger March to Washington on
Dec. z, the county agent, the Red
Cross, feed loans, etc.
The first stanza and the last two
read as follows:
Who hasn't heard the prattle Of
the
United Farmers League,
Who isn't ready to admit
They are feeling a fatigue;
So, why not ship them Ger the
pond
AS now it is reported,
A bill is up in Congress
To have them all deported
God speed the day when we are
free
Of this big bunch of trash,
And they have gone to Russia
To live on Bla, Bla, hash!
The Plentywood Herald probably
got the idea of fatigue" after
hearing one of the boundary hop
per's reports on the entertainment
and dance put on by the United
Farmers League on April 8, OF
else it is just a conscious lie, IN
stead of an unconscious one borne
of the vain hopes of Harry Polk.
In the last stanza it comes out
quite clearly that the Herald i.
not afraid to bray to the same
tune as Jack Bennett and Welcom,
March. Jack Bennett said the
farmers of the county are like
''bunch of kids" The bumptiou.
Welcome delivered himself of tn,
insolent statement that they wer,
damned fools, and Harry Poll
lthru his Herald thinks that tn
farmers of Sheridan county cal
best be characterized as "this bi,
bunch of trash" The Heral,
dares not come out and say thi
openly. 1t uses the less dangerou
medium of a poem" written b,
some of its readers" The Her
aid things that "this bunch o
trash" ought to be deported t
Russia. We know that the farm
ers of Sheridan County would b
much better off if they were i
