the workers that their agent, the

the demonstrators. He was to be
punished for par ticipating in the
parade.
The fight was becoming so bitter
thai 4 chain Of six bondsmen had
to be exhausted in order to give
security of 500 for the arrested
worker. People were beginning to
think that there was no person in
Yellowstone county who was worth
500, A leaflet of protest was then
issued and descended upon the
streets of Billings demanding the
acceptance of the bondsmen. The
worker was then freed under bail.
AS result of the demonstration,
more and more workers in the
county are joining the information

Cut Down the Surplus
Why should it be? There is not
only a surplus" of wheat and cat
tie and all food stuffs, Surplus
of factories and machinery, but
there is also a surplus" of me,.
of healthy human beings, so whv
use government money to heal
those people who are SUFFERING
from rheumatism. Let's rather use
millions of dollars to put young
and healthy men into C.C.C. camps
where they are going to be made
ready for mass slaughter. Cut
down the Surplus, is the slogan
of the Roosevelt government.
If only one of the millions could
be spent here, the place could be
fixed up so that thousands of suf-
fering people could come here and
get relief. But before anything
like that can be expected, the peo-
pie themselves must have their
own government, a government OF
workers and farmers.

F'*.EtF.ss.ss%F.sssts+S*s

The election campaign is on.
Vital issues are at stake. What
are We women gong to do about
it? We are going to vote of
course, the question is how.
How will we spend our time be-
tween now and election? Will we
give all our time to cooking meals,
caring for the children, tending the
garden, scrubbing floors, washing
and patching old clothes. Will we
have no time to listen or take part
when the men folks discuss poll
tics? Will we stay at home to
bake bread when some political
speaker lectures nearby? Will we
refuse to buy pamphlets or sub
scribe to papers because we think
we can't afford to have reading
matter?
While we are so busy will we
think only of how to get thru the
day and get to bed so we can get
thru the next day? If our minds
work thus, what good is the voting
power? We are just as likely, in
fact more likely to vote against our
own interests than for them and
might better stay away from the
polls on election day.
Blu we women can be a ire

In our hands is one half of the

use it to benefit ourselves and our

household tasks with the political

BURBANK WOMEN
WIN FOOD FOR THE

BURBANK, Calf The Wo-

leading winning struggle for
adequate food for children here.
During the school term the Barent-
Teachers Assn. was serving hot
lunches to the children in school,
but no provision has been made
during the summer months to sup
ply this food.
Considering the rapid spread of
infantile paralysis and the MANU-
triton among the children Of the
unemployed it is necessary that
these children be given a better
diet.

Demands were presented to the
city council of Burbank at a meet

due to processing taxes, and Citi-
zen Wallace profits personally by
the sale of seed corn sold by his
own company, advertised in the
paper of which he is editor on
leave, and used to defeat the verv
purpose of the reduction program.
Still Holds Stock
Mr.. Wallace, before Joining
President Roosevelt's cabinet, was
president of the Hi-Bred Corn COM
pany, which he founded after thru
personally conducted experiments
ne had created his record produc-
ing seed corn. He resigned as
president of the company but still
holds his stock.
1t is also reported that Score
tary Wallace is carrying on the
same scheme with wheat farmers.
Mrs. Wallace is selling so-called
Wonder Wheat" for seed that is
producing considerable larger
crop than ordinary seed, while her
husband the Secretary of Agricul-
ture is urging farmers to reduce
their wheat production. The work
ers in the cities are paying the
bill thru the processing tax and
Mr.. Wallace and his family are
deriving huge profits from this
clever scheme.

WHO KNOWS THE
ANSWER?

Farmers in this territory UNDER
stand that the project for building
OF road leading from the Blue
Trail south to the Roosevelt eoun-
ty line, past the Farmers Coal
mine and Dagmar, has been ap-
proved by the authorities.
When is this work going 10 be-
gin? Farmers here are anxious
to know. They rather work in the
summer than when it is 40 below
zero.

Editors Note: Sorry, but we
can't answer the question. We
have some of ouT own questions
that are closely related to yours.
Perhaps the county road commits
sion, the county commissioners or
the relief administration knew the
answers and if they do, we shall
be glad to give them space here.
Relief workers are very much in
terested 10 know when the work On
Plentywood's First Avenue is go
ing to start. A $1,000 contract to
provide the street with an oil sur
face has been let on May "a. Coun-
ty labor should be used for this
job. Here we are at the end of
July and nothing has been done.
There is also much interest
shown as to when the work on the
Medicine Lake project is going to
commence. Nobody is over anxious
to work On these jobs when it rs
bitter cold. 1t seems advisable,
therefore, that our officials get on
the move and do something that
the jobs get started. But maybe
they are keeping it in store in or
der to present the jobs as a gift
right before the election).

CCC CAMP GETS 80

CONTINUED from page u
mands and if they don't they are
severely punished.
Recently a boy in an Arkansas
camp was killed and readers of the
Producers News will remember the
story of the murder of Abe Yanko-
WITT, who was killed in a Montana
CCC camp by his bestial foreman
for breaking the rules by wash
ing his mess kit in a nearby
stream" Poisoned by food, 30
C.C.C.. boys were brought to a
Washington government hospital
recently. Four young men of an
Oklahoma camp are being framed
for the killing of a camp officer.

Pacific Coast General Strike
had reached it's climax, the

To every serious minded
worker and farmer tn s
should be ample evidence as
to the purpose of the C.C.C
camps and as to the task
which to perform the boys
are trained. For war within

All these stories are not being

AS soon as the boy arrives at CAM

Persons who had been receiving
only two days work are now cut
to one day. and the pay is only

There are no colored foremen,
field or straw bosses, or even skill

jects. The special jobs are given
the poor whites. Segregation is
also rampant in the administration
Of the relief jobs, the colored work
at one place, while the whites work

This must be q welcome remind
er to fgrmers South and West who
are victimized every summer by

Usually at this time Of year, pa

Natures method Of making rain
says DR.. Humphreys, is to get an
abundance Of water into the at
mosphere by evaporation from wa
ter surfaces, growing vegetation,
and damp soil, and then to squeeze
It out by lowering the temperature
Having called the scientific rain

ATTORNEY ASKS
COURT DISSOLVE
PYTH|AN KNIGHTS

WASHINGTON United States
Attorney Leslie c. Garrett last
Wednesday asked the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia
to dissolve the knights Of Pythias
of North America, South America,
Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia
as a corporation of the District of
Columbia.
In his bill of complaint, he points
out that the order was incorporat-
ed here May "a, 1905, as a benevo-
lent association. It was licensed
here as a fraternal beneficial ASSOC
citation from 1906 to April 30 last.
Corporate Abuses Charged
The order is guilty of an abuse
of its corporate powers and fran
chises, Mr.. Garnett alleges, in that
it has never had its principal Off
ces and place of business in the
District of Columbia and has new
er kept its books, records and files
here as required by law.
Its failure to do so, he asserts,
constitutes violation of the law,
for which the penalty is forfeiture
of the corporate charter.
On February %, he claims, the
order was notified, through its sec
rotary, by ]. A. Marshall, superin-
tendent of insurance of the District
of Columbia, that it had to comply
with the law and maintain its prin-
cipal offices and place of business
here, but no action was taken in
this regard.
The corporate officers of the
Knights of Pythias are; S. w.
Green, president; L. e. Brown, Sc
cretary, and T. ellis Nutter, trea-
surer. The home office is at 1914
