FARMERS TO CAMP
AT FARMER LABOR
TEMPLE FOR COURT

The special term of court called
at this time came as a surprise to
everybody. There practically is, no
reason for the special term. There
is actually no calendar worth
mentioning to justify such an ex-
pense at this time.
1t looks to the farmers of the
county that the special term was
called for the purpose of trying
the Raymond farmers, Ed Hannah,
Norbert Schrittgen, and Adrian
Aldrich, at a time when the farm
ers can't come in to attend court.
The farmers see which way the
wind blows, and how things are
planned to fight the farmers and
aid the banker and collection
sharks.
However, the farmers are not to
be defeated so easily.
The Farmer Labor Temple will
be thrown open to the farmers
who will stay there during the
whole court session, in order tt
be in Plentywood to attend the
trial. The farmers will bring il
ticks and blankets for beds, anC
food. A big cook stove will b.
installed and cooks will be founC
to prepare meals, and tables will
be set up.
The Temple will accommodate
about 400 who can thus ATTEND
court each day and watch the
wheels go round with their owl
eyes.
Many farmers arc now making
preparations to come t. Plenty
wood for the terra of court.
There will be speeches and en-
tertainnents every night durinj
the court session. where the farm
ers can disclose and anaylze wha
they see and hear during the day

IRON GATES YAWNING FOR BANKER:
FRANK HOLSTER EXPOSED AS FRAUD

For many years. Frank Rooster,
Outlook banker, has been one OF
the leading reactionary politicians
of the county. He is one of those
who helped pick the candidates
and voted for and supported them
at election time.
Through his banking activities
and shrewdnese. he bankrupted the
farmers, drove them out of house
and home and took possession of
their land. He was for Rooster
finSt last and all the time. And
his bank survived when others
went to the wall. He saved him
self and his bank by picking the
financial bone of the surrounding
farmers.
The Federal Land bank picked
him as their agent in this terri
tory. He was the Une who made
out the papers for the farmers
and put the state seal of approval
on them as the Notary Public. He
recommended loans on land which
he himself owned for what could
be gotten ard took second mort
gage for the balance.
He is the one who charged the
three Raymond farmers with steal
ing and had them arrested when
they, together with more than a
hundred other farmers, prevented
Rooster from getting away with
the owners share of wheat from
the Snuggins farm-because they
saved for a farmer the pound Of
flesh" old Rooster had his eye on
But, now, recently it has been
discovered that this Outlook bank.
er, Frank Rooster, is nothing but
a cheap faker, fraud and impos.
tor,
For years he has posed as E
citizen. For years he and his wife
have voted at elections.
For years he has held a com
mission as Notary Public. Anc
now it has been discovered that h
is not even citizen of the Unite
States.
AS soon as he found out hi
fraud and fakery, his, criminal &C
tivities had been discovered, h
hurried up and filed for citizen
ship. His application is now o.
file in the Clerk of Courts offic
with Carl Peterson the Clerk an
Recorder.
Only by lying, swearing falsel
has Rooster been able to vote an
act as Notary Public for years. /
both cases it is absolutely nee

Why of the First Joke
 Found in Humor History

It is impossible to say with any degree of certainty who started the first practical joke Doctor L'Estrange In his history of English Humour says in his chapter on ancient humour that the pleasure found in hostile laughter soon led to practical jokes They were ancientIy very common and formed the first link between humour and the ludicrous.
 The first character In the records of antiquity that seems to have had anything quaint or droll about it is that of Samson. He was fond of mak- ing very sanguinary "sport for the Philistines." It is said that "he caught 300 foxes and took fire-brands, and turned tail to tail, and put fire-b brand in the midst between two tails, and when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and also the standing corn of the Philistines. with the vineyards and olives" On another occasion he allowed himself to be bound with cords, and thus apparently delivered pOwerleSs into the hands of his en- emies. He then broke his bonds Hike flax that was burnt with fire," and taking the jaw bone of an ass slew l,C00 men with it.

WHY--=======- Ships That Sink in Ocean Go
 All Way to Bottom

Despite the notion that ship which goes down at sea does not sink all the way to the bottom, but remains suspended in the water because of the increased pressure and density at great depths, 1t does sink all the way to the bottom.
 Pressure in itself does not enter into the problem, because the pres sure of fluid is exerted equally from which is due chiefly to the greater pressure, is not an important factor in relation to this question, because water, like other fluids, Is nearly in- compressible, and the water at the bottom of the ocean in the deepest more than an equal volume of water at the surface.
 Here is the law of floating and sinking bodies: If a body weighs more than it's equal volume of water at any depth, 1t will sink and continue to weighs less, it will float on the sur face; and if it weighs the same, it will stay wherever placed. In other words. an object sinks in water if its average density. including entrapped air. is greater than the density of the water In which it Is immersed.
 The weight of fresh water is about 62.4 pounds cubic foot. Therefore, since, according to the principle of Archimedes. the lifting effect on submerged body is equal to the weight of the displaced liquid. any object weighing more than 624 pounds cubic foot will sink in fresh water.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Why Silk Worm Keeps Secrets

The silk worm has been studied for centuries and man has succeeded in initiating it's product. but at the same time there are many things about the silk worms habits and product which man does not understand. One of the unanswered questions is, why is the fiber spun with q triangular section? There might be an explanation here in terms of lnster, but presumably the silkworm does not care unduly for appearances. Possibly it is because there is a higher ratio of drying sur face to area for triangular section than one that is circular. but If so. why doesn't she go the whole distance and make tlnted affair, or ribbon? Why does she make two fibers and ce- ment them together?

for once it is started no power can control it, and that the only way to stop such barbarities is to stop war itself.
 MT. Henderson's speech was in the nature of plea for the mobilizing of public opinion throughout the world against war.
 There is not the slightest doubt that a future war of large proportions would be attended by indescribable hor- TOTS. The engines of destruct- ion which civilization has de- veloped might conceivably de- stroy civilization Itself, after the manner of Frankenstein's monster.
 Whether the nations can pro- duce statesmen able to prevent such a calamity is the most inn portant question now facing the world.

Why Lines Painted on Highways

Black lines such as are painted on curves and hills on some highways are to indicate to the driver that from the start of the line to the end he is in such a position that there is "blind spot" ahead, around the curve or over the hill. where an oncoming car could not be seen by him. When he reaches the end of such a line he knows he can see far enough ahead to see any near ing car.
