ITO Save Your Farms"

Communists talk glibly of "moratoriums, evic-
tions, no foreclosures, the impoverished farmer" etc.
etc. All this is nothing more than pure, unadulter-
ated political hokum, just another lend of the rain
bow" which they tell the tax-burdened farmers of
Sheridan county is within their grasp by voting the
Red ticket next Tuesday.
They would release our people from all debts,
have them pay no taxes, and yet they offer no prac-
teal source Of revenue from which to run the coun-
ty government and pay the eounty's obligations.
Declare a moratorium on debts and taxes, de-
fault IN the payment Of county bonds, and who will
furnish money to run the county government Last
year 40 per cent of the total taxes were paid-the
major portion Of this by nonresident land owners
and the public utilities.
With a moratorium such as Communists pro-
pose, there would not be 20 per cent of the taxes
paid. 8ha
The credit of our county would be ruined.
Warrants would no longer be cashable at any dis
count.
That would close the doors of our county hospi-
tai and eventually every school in the county.
The poor of the county, who have been cared
for through county funds, would have to look else
where for aid. This would bring added suffering
to many who have no other means Of support.
A candidate for sheriff tells you he will serve
no papers for mortgage foreclosure and there will be
no e%victions. Before a sheriff assumes office he
must take an oath, and give a bond, to perform the
duties of the office AS SET FORTH BY MON
ANA STATUTES. Mr.. Harderson doesn't tell
you just how he expects to take that oath, furnish q
bond as provided by law, then utterly disregard his
oath and still remain in office. Amy man with
common sense knows IT CAN'T BE DONE!
This newspaper does not believe for one minute
that the farmers of Sheridan county are going to be
hoodwinked into voting for any such impossible re-
form measures Or candidates who support them.
The most encouraging, the most intelligent hope Of
relief from oppressive tax burdens is in the election
Of capable, honest officials who will spend their
time carefully administering the business affairs of
the county instead Of preaching revolution and open
defiance Of existing laws.

Losing Sight OF its Goal
IT.
Why not the Liberty party7

Why not the Liberty party7
The Liberty party movement in Montana and
every other state was started for just one reason
20 encourage reform in our National government.
Followers of the program, under the militant lead
ership Of w. Fl. (Coin) Harvey, were made up of
thousands Of people in every part of the country,
who, tired Of both Republican and Democratic nd
ministrations, saw in the liberal monetary platform
of their leader, hope for q better day in America.
The work Of Liberty party leaders and local
Liberty clubs was at least thought-provoking. 1t
caused one to wonder If, after all, there were not a
possibility Of correcting some Of our evils through a
third party movement. But, what do we fnd7
Suddenly the aims and ambitions of Liberty party
leaders in Sheridan county are directed-not at ia
miliarizfng the voters with the aims and ideals Of
the National Liberty party, but towards eecting a
group Of men to county office!
We know some of the candidates on the Liberty
ticket in this county. We know them to be good
citizens, men Of integrity, men who would be a val
liable asset to any community. But some OF these
same men sat in the convention Of the Taxpayers
Economy League last spring and joined in nominal
ing candidates who in their judgment would best
serve the needs Of Sheridan county. They who sat
as delegates in that assembly voted unanimously to
abide by the will of that convention and put forth
every effort for the election Of its candidates. Many
members Of the Liberty party were opposed to plac-
ing a county ticket in the field this year for just that
reason. They wanted to make their word good!
Many Of them WILL MAKE THEIR WORD GOOD.
Placing a Party label on a candidate for county
office dogs not mean that he will make an efficient
officer, But, when two hundred taxpayers, without
regard to party, sit in a convention, and after careful
elaboration, select a group of men for office, and
later have the majority of the voters Of the county
approve their selection i'm the Primary-that has
real tangible value to every taxpayer. That gives
a voter reason to assume that candidates of the
Economy League are the best qualified, because they
are the peoples choice.
We cannot see that injecting county politics in
to a campaign one month before election can be of
any possible good to the Liberty cause in Sheridan
county or lend assistance in any manner towards in
fuencing voters to support a Liberty Party candi-
date for President.

Local Display Wins
in National Contest

MiIler's Pharmacy of this city has
just been notified that one of its
window display was a winner in a
natioEal contest.
The display featured "Rinex," a
hay fever treatment, in August, and
the contest was conducted by the
manufacturers of that product.
Only two prizes were awarded to
dealers in Montana for their dis
plays in this contest, the local store
being one Of them. Much credit
for the local display goes to Steve
who had charge of deeora-
ting the window.

Hog Cholera Reported On
Nine Premises


Hog cholera was reported on
nine premises in Maryland in
March, compared with an aver
age of 16 for this period during
the last 13 years. Ali were
classed as backyard outbreaks;
s we're primary, or new, and l
was a secondary outbreak or
spread of the infection. Chol-
era was reported in only Z of
the % counties.
Washington County had 2
outbreaks, and Caroline, Car
roll, Howard, Prince Georges,
Queen Anne's and Wicomico
Counties had 1 each. Feeding
table scraps containing infect
ed bones, rinds and scraps of
pork apparently caused 3 out
breaks. Four were caused by
feeding raw garbage to suscep-
tible hogs; new stock and the
unburied carcass Of a hog dead
from cholera each caused 1
outbreak.
The 9 outbreaks reported in
volved 429 hogs. Seventy-two,
or approximately II per cent.
of the these hogs were dead,
and 121, or approximately %
per cent, were sick before the
outbreaks were reported. From
past experience it is estimated
that nearly 40 per cent. of the
total number were lost. If care
had been taken to exclude from
the diet materials that might
possibly start an outbreaks
of cholera, few, if any, out
breaks would have occrred.
To curtail losses when errors
of sanitation have been COM
mitted, it is imperative that a
prompt diagnosis be made, and
proper doses of serum be adj
ministered as soon as possible.
In the 9 herds in which chol-
era occurred, 4 herds had less
than 10 hogs each, 1 had 20,
and 4 had more than 80 hogs.
per herd; all those in the last
group were in garbage feeding

Train Children To Cross
Streets

The Delaware Safety Council, says:
Parents have a responsibility to
train their children to look left, then
right before crossing streets; to obey
traffic police and signals and to play
in safe places in the streets. !"
If parents would instruct their
children that needless running or
walking in the street is to blame for
more street accidents than all other
causes combined and impress upon
the minds of their children that it is
of the greatest Importance for every
boy and girl not only to know the
rule of safety in crossing the street,
but it is more necessary always to
keep this rule in mind.
When you cross the street look
first to the left before you step from
the curb because traffic comes from
that direction. Then when you reach
the middle of the street look to the
right-that is the direction traffic
will then come. Never step into
the street without thinking of danger
and always keep your mind on what
you are doing while in the street.
Cross quickly when you know the
way is clear. Do not loiter in the
street.
It is apparent that good many
people have never cautioned their
children that when they are riding
bicycles they should obey the same
rnles that motorists do. In practic-
ally every instance where accidents
have occurred with bicycles it hap
pened through the failure of the BIZ
cycle rider to observe some rules
which were made part of the laws
OF the State for the purpose of in
surfing his safety.
Here are three simple rules for
those who ride bicycles: Obey the
traffic signals-they are installed for
cyclists, motorists and pedestrians
alike; carry front and rear light at
night; under no circumstances carry
anyone on the handle-bars- bicycles
built for two are out of date.

Silver And Depression

The longer depression lasts, the
more important the silver problem
becomes.
The depressed price of silver ad-
versely influences employment and
industrial activity in every country
in the world. Those countries which
are on the silver standard of coinage
have seen their purchasing power
drop away to fraction of its former
level, leaving them with no money
to buy in countries which have the
gold standard. These latter coun-
tries thus lose the foreign trade
which, few years back, kept a
multitude of factories going and
provided employment, in whole or
in part, for millions of workers.
Efforts are being made, on an in
ternational scale, to stabilize the
price of silver and give it proper
relation to the value of gold. These
efforts, if they succeed, will benefit
the entire world, silver standard
countries and gold standard countries
alike. Because of that, they de-
serve the support of the officials and
the general public of all nations.

Transportation For The
Farmer

Perhaps the most pronounced
progress Of our time has been made
in the direction of improved trans
portation. Good roads and better
and cheaper cars to use them, have
caused miraculous changes in the
business and social lives of the
American people.
Of all classes of citizens, the
farmer has been the lest benefited in
this. Most farmers have cars and
trucks. But few farmers have ac-
cess to roads that are disable at all
times of the year, or that permit the
greatest possible efficiency in trans
port at any season. The rough road,
the road that becomes one long
series at mudholes in winter, the
road that goes to pieces under snow
or good hard rain, these are still
characteristic, speaking generally,
of rural America.
A few states, New Yoak, Califor-
mia and others, have done fine work
in building good farm-to-market
roads. They have realized that the
best main highway in the world is OF
no use to the farmer if his home is
five or ten miles away on an impaS-
sable dirt road. They have, conse-
quently, done much in recent years
to provide secondary roads, suitable
for all types of travel, and passable
at all times, which connect the
small village and the farm with the
outside world. 81,
These roads cost little, in COMPARE
son to the cost of high-type
highways.

The Old village Choir

Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland
The old village choir,
In the church on the hill;
Sweet memories that linger,
Though their voices are still.
The old village choir,
In the long, long ago;
The songs, and the singing,
So sweetly and low.
The old village choir,
And the old fashioned ways;
Sweet peace and Gods blessing
Glad, bright, happy days.
In the church-yard they are
sleeping,
Underneath the old trees,
Where the song of the wild
birds
Floats out on the breeze.

INTERESTING OLD PAPER

Miss Katie E. Kelly, of Havre de
Grace, has in her possession a copy
OF the Ulster County Gazette, pub
lishedlat Kingston, N. Y, on January
A, 1900, which gives an interesting
account of the burial of Gen. George
Washington. Miss Kelly's mother,
the late Mrs. Clara B. Kelly, was a
descendant of John Adams, second
President of the United States, and
the paper has been in possession of
members of the Adams family since
Colonial Days.
The fact that the Bi-Centennial of
Washington's birth is being celebrat-
ed this year, makes the paper one of
unusual interest at this time.

What, If anything, did they do to pre-
vent such expansion with the conse
quences which they certainly did
know or should have known would
follow?
l believe their record in that con-
nection is not an enviable one. As
early as 1927, 1t was clearly obvious
to anyone having experience with the
granting of credit that If the situation
was allowed to continue, and If ex-
pansion and speculation were carried
on unchecked, there could be but one
end-disaster. Yet the record of Amer
lean financial leadership and of re-
sponsible government officials was
regrettably one Of too much silence.
Sounded Few Warnings
Few warnings were issued, and few
attempts were made to attract public
attention to the danger that threat
ened. Credit for the expansion of pro-
ductive facilities to meet temporary
demands was granted to business
without adequate consideration Of the
consequences. Credit without stint
was furnished to consumers to buy
consumable goods. thereby further in
creasing false purchasing power and
