y ONE 30-odd years ago Mrs.
- Alice Simpson, who owned a
pet shop in New York City and
- raised the then comparatively
new breed of Boston terriers as
side line, bred puppy she called
Ringmaster. This puppy was shown
at most of the prominent shows and
did considerable winning. But more
important. he became one OF the
most noted stud dogs and sires Of his
day. And so prepotent was ne that
many of the winning Bostons OF the
present trace their genealogy to Ring
master, or Sport ", as he was regis
tered in the A K. G.
In 1917 the Ringmaster Kennels
were registered under that name by
Jerome HALEY of Cleveland, Ohio.
Subsequently that title was trans
ferred back to Mrs. Simpson, who
later sold it to Miss Florence Farmer,
who operated the kennels in upper
New York State and. for time, in
New Jersey Now the Ringmaster
Kennels are to be operated by Mr..
John Henderson of Thrifton, Va, who
has been raising dogs in this vicinity
for about 10 years. Mr.. Henderson
has several direct descendants OF
Ringmaster and plans to bring the
original glory back to the Ringmaster
name.

the startling contrast in color and

Most kennels use some sort OF solu-
ton for dipping their dogs during the
Summer months. This serves several
purposes: it discourages fleas and other
insects, keeps the skin in good condl-
ton (many short-haired breeds are
subject to form of Summer eczema)
and eliminates much of that doggy
odor. One highly recommended dip Is
lime sulphur commonly used for
spraying orchards. 1t should be dl-
luted in accordance with directions
for Summer spraying. Another dip
consists of / gallon of McDougals
Dip. pound of sulphur. l pound OF
boric acid. to so gallons of water.
This solution, if kept covered, may be
used repeatedly. A third and probably
simpler method is to dilute creolin
according to directions. This is very
effective.

VANDALIA, June ia new
local of the United Farmer League
was formed here yesterday at the
picnic of the Finnish Federation
when speakers from Plentywood
and North Dakota showed the ne
cessity of militant organization
and outlined the program of the
UFL.
A small but interested crowd had
gathered to listen to the message
the speakers of the League had
to give. Gonius Laulse of Re-
serve, as the first speaker, ex-
planned the Constitution of the
United States. He showed how all
the guarantees of free speech, free
press and the right of the people
to assemble were trampled into the
dust by the powers to be.
The small class that rules this
country is realizing that it cannot
fool the people very much longer.
And because the farmers and the
workers are using their constitu-
tlonal rights to free themselves
from the parasites that are fat
tening on their labor," Laursen
said, our masters are breaking
this Constitution time and time
again"
ArvO Husa, the State Secretary
OF the U.F.L. of North Dakota out
lined the conditions that make mill
tant organization necessary. Ht
briefly explained the program Of
the UFL and asked the crowd Il
build the U.F.L. in Valley county.

FARM DOLLAR BACK
TO LEVEL OF 1888

WASHINGTON, May SO.-Four
teen months of the New Deal have
brought the mass Of American
farmers not one bit closer to the
parity" prices that the A.A.A..
was supposed to achieve. This is
indicated in figures just released
by the Bureau of Agricultural Eco
Monies.
The index Of prices of farm pro-
ducts on May Is was "a, the same
as on April Is, and compared with
81 on May Is last year.
This increase of nearly 20 per
cent was, however, completely
wiped out by an increase in the
prices of goods which the farm
ers have to buy. The index OF
these prices was 121 on May 10
compared with 12O on April IL
and with 102 on May Is Of last
year.
AS q result the ratio OF prices
paid by farmers to prices received
by them was 81 on Nav IS, com
pared TO 81 on April Is, and exact.
lily the same as a year ago.

LOCAL BANKER
STOPPED FROM
.DODCINC TAXES

Our local banker, Frank Rooster,
who recently moved his bank from
Outlook to Plentywood, was caught
last week in an attempt of getting
out of paying taxes on his Out
look property.
The property consisted of three
living houses, one in the name of
R. o. Nelson, the second in the
name of Outlook Realty Co., and
the third in A. Koester's name. No
taxes had been paid on any of the
three houses the past three years.
The total amounts to $400.11.
Mr.. Rooster had made a con-
tract with John Lee of Froid for
moving the three houses from Out
look to Plentywood. When Mr..
Lee had one of the houses on the
wheels and was ready to pull out,
] the Outlook people discovered that
TO taxes had been paid on any of
the three houses. They realized
that if they let their former banker
sneak the houses off, as he in
tended to, then all they would
have to show for the $400.11 would
be three empty lots with three
holes in the ground.
With the intention Of stopping
the move until the taxes were paid
Fred Radons was delegated to see
the county attorney and swear out
the necessary complaints.
At the county attorneys office
Mr.. Hoven didn't know just what
to do. This going after a ire
spect able" banker was different
from going after a farmer, and
Hoven started stalling for time by
telling Radons to come back again
the next day.
After Vernon Hoven had con-
suited Judge Paul and the County
Commissioners, the papers stop
ping Frank Koester from moving
the houses before the taxes were
paid were signed by the County
Commissioners the following day
AS Commissioner Tango put it
1--WE might as well stop him Of
else the Reds are going to do it. >
This remark goes to show how
they hated TO act against Their
good friend, the banker. But i
was a case Of either act or leav,
! Il to the Reds and let them hav'
the credit.
The result Of this action is tina.
: Frank Rooster has now paid thl
taxes on the one house loaded OF

amounting to $97.42.

examined, the report says, pa are

nutrition is just another word for
plain starvation. This report does
not include all children of school
age, and it would be conservative

say that the total number Of chill

is not a report from last year or

you going to keep On letting Is

you have done in the past?

284 Children Starving
In County Says Report

While this slow starvation has
increased in the county our doctors
have not offered a word of pro-
test. Our county Relief committee
has, without the slightest protest
On their part, allowed the amount
of relief to be cut down from $780,
GEO in March to $1,000 for May.
And our county commissioners
wrote a letter to Senator Wheeler
in which they suggested a lower
scale of wages and fbudgeting Of
each family to a more conservative
basis of living" A more conserva-
tive living, with nearly one-fifth
of our children starving. How do
you like that?
You members of the RELIEF
committee, you County Commits
sioners and you doctors, you are
the ones who are responsible for
these conditions. While you have
been drawing your fat salaries,
you have done everything You
could to keep outside help away
from the county, until we have got
ten down to a point where nearly
one-fifth of the future generation
is slowly starving to death or are
made into runts. And you don't
seem to realize it. and don't seem
to care.
With this report before you,
from doctors and nurse, are you
going to keep On advocating "a
more conservative basis of living 2"

want to know. The columns. Of

ment you want to make.
What are you going to do
