Not long ago / wrote in one of
my articles that the impression l
rad gotten of Jack Bennett was
that he had a develish desire to
do somebody harm. After his at
tack on Rodney Salisbury, where
he sneaked up on a sick man from
behind and hit him in the face, |
wrote another article in which |
suggested that Jack Bennett be
put behind some iron bars where
he could no no harm to his sur
roundings.
At this time / am more con-
WINGED than ever, that wha t |
wrote is correct. Jack has proved
it to me personally, and will
leave it to the people of Sheridan
county to decide if / am right or
wrong.

WORKING CLASS GETS RELIEF
WHERE THERE REORGANIZATION
(BY RODNEY SALISBURY

Well the Commercial club and
old Jacks yes-men met again and
arrived at another momentous de-
cision.
Old Jacks yes-men couldn't get
the farmers to work out the rleief
that Sheridan county or the CITY
OF Plentywood had never borrowed
so it was decided to pass the buck
to the county commissioners who
after some flinching agreed to
take the job. Crank French.
whom old Jack double-crossed at
the last election must have had d
laugh when they hooked this body
with such a job, which is no more
their business than it would be the
local ladies aid. Farmers isn't it
wonderful how these fellows look
after us?
Forget a lot of other things if
you wish but don't forget that ap-
preparations by Congress for relief
of a destitute people is nothing
more than a soothing syrup to lull
you to sleep while the bright eyes
of your children grow duller every
day. Under just system people
don't starve because they have pro-
duced too much.
Take the reports of the Red
Cross or the r. F. c. and trace it
across the U. S. and you will find
that wherever people ale willing
to submissively starve in a land
with a surplus of everything they
are. doing so without any aims
giving by the ruling class.
But, on the other hand you will
find that wherever there is an or
ganization of Unemployed Councils
and farmers relief organizations,
there YOU will find them forcing
the ruling class thru their govern
ment to give them back a portion
of the wealth that they have stole
from the farmers and workers in
the form Of rents, interest and
profits. They call this relief.
The capitalist class have con =
troll of the natural resources which
gives them a monopoly on the food
shelter and cl)thi1g that workers
need. By the press, pulpit, school
and moving pictures, they control
the workers minds to believe that
this robbery system is ok.

said Here we are, ATTEMPTING
with a Farm Relief bill to raise
the price of farm commodities
when it Is notorious that the peo-
pie who consume the farm COM
modltles have now not enough to
pay for them at the present bank
rupt price that the farmer has to
take We have not the ability
to grasp the problem and solve 1t
for the benefit of the distressed
American people,"
And Mrs. Geo. Eastman DRYDEN
OF Chicago is applying for relief
at the rate of $3.50 per week for
herself and two children.
And Chas. G. Dawes, the one
who got the so millions from the
government, said to- the Chicago
school teachers when they asked
for their pay: ITO hell with

And in Comertown they have
their troubles too. There they
claim the King Fish who is to
hand out the diplomas at school
graduation don't know how TO pro-
nOunce the names.
And the only joke known about
crude oil is that it is not refined.
And in LeMars, Iowa, they put

And at a wedding it isn't the

And the pastor who wrote To
Our Young People: "When the
man lay dying he was red nc
longer, but only wanted the pas
tor there to pray for him." Now
they claim the man had been en-
balmed for several days before
the pastor started praying.
And a sap wants to know how
we managed to stick to the eartl
before the law of gravity wa,

And another one wants to know
how it happens that one half Oh

other half are women.

UNEMPLOYED HELP
SICK FARMER, WIFE
Committee of Nine Elected
at Neighborhood Works
All Day on Farm
Try G. il

Sumner, Wash, April 24.-Mr.
butcher has been i'll for a long
time and Mrs. butcher could not
keep up the farm along with all
the inside work she has. At a
recent neighboff1OOd meeting here
she asked for a boy or young man
to help her on her farm.
1t was finally decided that a
group of men from the ranks OF
the unemployed go to the farm
and help her. On Friday, April
20, a group of nine men went TO
butchers farm and worked all day
putting up her berries and pulling
her rhubarb. This has relieved
Mr.. butcher very much to have
the farm put in shape again.

WILL INVESTIGATE FORE
CLOSURE THREAT

A committee of two was set up
to investigate the case of farm
er threatened with foreclosure in
Montgomery county. The report
of this Committee will also be sub
mitted for deliberation at the next
meeting.
The response of the farmers to
the call of the United Farmers
League for this meeting indicates
the willingness of the farmers for
struggle. The Grange and Dairy
mems League which exists in this
territory have done nothing to
mobilize the farmers for struggle
and have earned their disgust for
their organizations.
BUILD A MASS LEAGUE
Our immediate task must be to
build Committees of Action fol-
adequate milk prices for the small
and middle farmers, against fore
closures, for adequate relief. The
United Farmers League must be-
come a mass organization includ-
ing hundreds of farmers now on
verge of pauperization and just
itching for action.

ADVANCES IN PLUMBING
SHOWN AT EXPOSITION

One hundred years Of advance in the
science of sanitation is being cele-
brated by the plumbing industry at the
Century OF Progress Exposition in Chi
cago according to the Plumbing and
Heating Industries Bureau.
Exhibits show the contrast between
the lack of sanitation, with its conse-
quent high death rate in the pioneer
settlement around Fort Dearborn in
1888. and the protection afforded to
health by modern methods of water
filtration, sewage disposal and plumb
ing.
The evolution of the bathtub, kitch-
en- sink, lavatory and other plumbing
fixtures is shown by genuine antiques
salvaged from museums, old houses and
plumbers storerooms.
The close relationship between ade-
quate plumbing and health Is dramat-
ically presented by statistics on the
steadily decreasing death rate from
water-borne disease.
