HoIlywood.-With Marlene Diet rIch's contract with Paramount duo to expire soon as she com pletes her current production. 1t i' reported that Fox executives arc anging to get her name on one of those long termers. However, all negotiatoins apparently are held up pending the return of Josef von Sternberg from Germany.
 Marlene won't sign without Joe And then it will be another Of those contracts calling for him to direct each and every one of her productions. With all the trouble Paramount executives experienced with such a contract, nobody thought any other studio ever would take such chance. But then, these studio officials do learn slowly--and Marlene Is Marlene, after all.

"YOU CAN GET WHAT
YOU FIGHT FORr

"Our children have no overshoes"
said the farmers. eve have no
money for coffee. We can't buy a
gallon Of gasoline for our cars.
Why can't we get relief as our
Montana neighbors have done?"
The nswer is-they can and it
was supplied emphatically by Rod
ney Salisbury, state organizer for
the United Farmers League in
Montana, when Williams county
farmers invited him to speak at a
series of meetings in their county
on how Sheridan county farmers
had won relief. "You will get as
little relief as you let the capital
list class get away with giving you,
and as much as you fight for"
Salisbury told them.
The 0pening guns in the. strug-
gle for relief were fired right there
and the huge outpouring at Willis
ton was an answer to the call of
the farmer to his neighbor to get
together and win relief.

WIS. FARMERS RALLY TO STOP
TWO EVICTIONS; FILA LEADER
AGAINST UNITED MASS ACTION
BANKER ACCEPTS
COMPROMISE; 300
STOP STOCK SALE

Three hundred farmers who
gathered at the Silas EstensOn
farm on two days notice at the
call of the Farm Holiday Assn.
three miles east of Vida, Nc
Cone county, Montana, On Jan.
IL, prevented an advertised sale
of mOrtgaged live stock from
being carried thru.
The farmers gathered at the
farm some time prior to the set
hour for the sale. When the
representative Of the mOrtgagee,
the First State Bank of Richey,
arrived on the scene the farmers
informed him in no uncertain
words that the sale would not
take place. 1t was only after
much haranguing that the bank
er's party was allowed into the
farm yard.
The farmer paid $3.50 last fall
On the mortgage Of $11OO. The
security is abOht AZ head of
cattle, 10 horses, other cattle and
a full line of farm machinery.
Finally some agreement was
reached thru the mass pressure
of the farmers and the banker
went home without the sale hav-
ing taken place.
1t is reported that during the
discussion with the banker tar
and feathers were being pre-
pared for the banker if it re-
quired those means to cJhvincC
him not to have the sale take
place.

PAYS 6 PER CENT FOR
BOUGHT GOODS

Regardless of the decrease in
farm prices, the farmer is paying
6 per cent more for his supplies
now than he paid in 1914. The
wholesale prices Of foods are six
per cent lower now than in 1914,
but the retail prices are twp per
cent higher.
The new Jones bill, now up be-
fore the House of Representatives,
is attempting to boost the low
price levels at the expense of both
farmers and workers in the guise
of farm "relief." It proposes to
raise prices by law on cotton, to-
bacco, wheat and hogs, but to al
low the trusts, commission merch-
ants, etc, to raise the price to the
consumer, thus producing a big in
crease in the cost of living that is
bound to affect the farmers as
we'll as the city workers.

STEVE NULNER WILL REMAIN ON HIS FARM

for $3.50 on his farm for
court expenses. The county also
stripped his place of all stock and
equipment to dfray the expenses
of his trial. Then a fire swept
through that country and burned
the buildings. So there he was,
stripped of all his property, with
a mortgage on his place all thru
no fault of his own. All the hard
work Of years gone for nothing.
Steve Mulner finally escaped
from the asylum and beat it back
home. The state made no attempt
to recapture him although he was
supposed to be insane. Steve went
ahead and rebuilt his place and
continued to live there, knowing
nothing about the mortgage that
had been put on his place in Feb
ruary, 1916.

when the lumber industry was ar
its peak. He was a young man
then so he went to work in the

on. Improved his place and made
it nice to live in, too. He grad

finally, the place could support him
and he wouldn't have to work for
somebody else.
