just ore week before. the Com.

called a Farmers picnic Tbey
mad extra policemen with little
SUCKS standing ON street corners

what surprise it was to these
malnstreeters last Saturday when
cars of all descriptions lined Their
streete. What they had bonad
would be failure turned of to
oe enc of the biggest DAYS the
town had seen. ''''

On Friday evening a few reels
OF the picture We're run for trial
and a committee of the town. con-
slstlng of c. c. johnson, DR.. York
and the City Mayor, were pres.nt
to pass judgment and see if the
picture was fit to be shown IN
their town.
On the day of the show sninny
ladies of the town told everybody
who wanted to listen that thew
would not see that show if it ONLY
cost ter CENTS. A leading oil man
who hadn't seen the picture at all.
loudly denounced the picture as be
ing no good. Many a farmer de-
cided right there that they would
never again buy another gallon of
oil from him. A lady clerk work
ing in the store for starvation
wages all at once got so dignified
that she wouldn't even look
at the poster.
This Is the Plentywood business
element for you. A thousand peo-
pie had come to their town and no
doubt spent several thouss and dol
lars. Had we asked these business
men for so cent donation to help
put the picture over, we'd have
been TUNED down flatly. Not even
did they buy ticket.
The manager of the Penny store
said that he done so per cent more

lt is now against the law for q

the state would be willisg to buv

information is given out too late
for NEST school boards to be prop

That lot of outside money

/ NaW York City, paying 4 per cent
interest on it. This money will be
repaid by the American people
thru a sales tax; a tax placed on
about everything the American
farmers and workers use to sus-
tain the lives of their families.
If the farmers ae foolish enuf
to pay back this so-called "relief''
they are at least repaying double.
Through the ales tax, and by
work. Further when on consider
that all the farmer got was an
order, not he cash, compelling
him to buy of local merchants,
paying premium of from 20 to
70 per cent on everything he
bought, is it any wonder that the
idea is so repulsive?
Summing up the repayment, if the
farmers elect to work it out they
will be paying county officials to
run around the county trying to
coax the farmers to work, they re-
pyaying by the actual work, pay
ing more county officials to over
see and supervise; repaying the
relief in money thru a sales tax;
paying the a per cent interest and
paying the merchant a 20 to 70
per cent profit on the purchases.
l imagine all told the farmers
would actually repay three or four
Times the amounts of relief he re-
ceived.
Farmers are always expected to
pay Paying, paying always pay
ing. They have always been the
shock absorbers of society. They,
with the workers, pay everything.
In return for feeding and caring
for the world they are forced to
beg to- preserve their own lives.
For the little they can beg back
every numbskull expects them to
repay a dozen times. The capt.
alistic system depends on this
kind of thing to- continue it's ex-
istance.
So it will remain as long as
farmers will submit to working
and giving away. Farmers have
worked for ages. A few manage
to save a little, but periodically
the system robs them of this too.
PRODUCERS are never able to re-
tam a thing but their birth rights
is their hide. The present
state of things is the results of
being peaceful and friendly. Farm
ers you must get tough. You
have tc or perish. Do as you
know yum should. Don't let others
dominate you. Tell these county
officials that come around, asking
you to work your relief, not to in
suit YOUR intelligence (you know
the average county commissioner
Is but moror, the tool of some
ore else). Nor to disrupt your
good nature. IF they persist get
tough, get real tough, you have to
so get sed to it.
Whatever you do, don't paw
double, don't work out your relief. |
No moral reason exists for doing
it 1t viii do yoy good once to use
your own Judgment. Listening to
these --bone-heads has got you
where you must beg for a living. |
Choose for once. see how it feels.
Don't let any one browbeat You

The county commissioners and

Is for this purpose that they are

they tell the farmers "You worft

With a few farmers scattered

CHARGE A PER CENT

Even after this money was ap-
prOpriated it was withheld by the
businessmen for a month and when
it was given out the county agent
made the farmers sign notes for
it at A per cent interest.
On April IL the State Commit
tee of Action meeting in st. Paul
forced the definite assurance that
their feed relief was free and the
notes would never be collected.
They were instructed to go back
to Clearwater county and collect
the worthless notes which would be
destroyed by Governor Floyd B.
Olson.
The local paper, The Bagley In
dependent, refused to print Gov
ertnor Olson's decision. This paper
had previously refused to print
any news of the $4,000 free feed
relief that had been brought into
the county.
The threats to Baumann and
Daigle are threats against the
United Farmers League and the

asked to send protests at once to

REAL GOLD MINED :.
NEAR WASHINGTON
New Process for Extracting
Metal in Virginia.

Washington.-Gold, the alluring
metal that draws men across con-
tinents and icebound wastes for its
possession, is being mined 30 miles
from Washington.
Plunging beneath. the red soil Of
nearby Virginia, pink quartz bear
Ing sulphide of gold is reward
Ing miners who have begun op-
erations with a new secret process
of recovery.
The existence of the precious
metal in Virginia has long been
known. and several mines have been
worked, with good results, but the
vagaries of nature that usually
oxidized the gold compounds of the
West to free gold did not operate
In the eastern section of this coun-
try, and the metal in this section is
found in compound with a sulphur
oxide.
Alfred 81. Evans and George We'd
eman have been working on 10
acre plot near Clifton, Va, to mine
the hidden metal. They claim that
a gold-bearing vein assaying $3.50
per ton was struck at the outcrop-
ping ledge of their vein. At a
depth of Is feet the pink quartz
yielded from $500 to $50 per ton,
they say.
Although little free gold is expect
ed to be discovered, several Of the
old Virginia mines yielded rich
pockets Of free metal. More than
100000 worth of gold has been
dug from Virginia soil.
The process used in the extraction
and recovery Of the metal from it's
sulphide is said by Mr.. Wedeman
to be the result Of 80 years Of study.
The gold-bearing quartz is put
through jaw crusher, a hammer
crusher and a ball mill. The re-
sulting powder, as fine as -four, is
superheated under q slow fire. Is
stead of smelling Of gold dust, a
slow oxidation takes place through
an internal combustion Of certain
gases. Chemical agents are used In
the process. The metal is recov-
cred by a mercury process.

Doom of the Eskimos

Winnipeg. - The, Eskimos are
,doomed-they are a, vanishing race,
in the opinion of f. A. Barney"
Barnes, Victoria Land (Arctic Can
ada) free trader, who has arrived in
Winnipeg.
Barnes has just: completed a
stretch" of six and a half years
straight in the Arctic, most of this
time in the employ of the Hudson's
Bay company at Fort Hearne, at
the mouth of the Coppermine river.
Barnes has seen the Eskimo dwin-
die and decay through the ravages
of tuberculosis-the scourge Of
both savage and civilized races. He
is puzzled why the Eskimos should
succumb so easily to the white
plague, for the snowhouse is about
as healthy a dwelling as you could
find, he explains.
Medical authorities say that the
Eskimo contracts tuberculosis from
the white man. but Barnes believes
that the Eskimos got it from the
Indians, who also are ravaged by
the disease.
