farmers, workers, businessmen and
all other people interested in the
seed situation in the county can
make an impression on the feder-
al authorities and thereby hurry
the sending of the checks.
Taylor Speaks
The principle speaker at the
mass meeting next Thursday will
be Charles E. Taylor, former ed
itor of the Producers News, who
has just returned after a years
absence from the county.
The Helena delegation again
emphasizes the necessity of this
meeting and calls upon all farm
ers' and civic organizations and
individuals to popularize this meet
ing. Only a fully crowded Farmer

CLOSING DATE FOR
SEED ORDERS AIARCZy
30, SAYS CO. AGENT

Approximately 600 Sheridan
county farmers have ordered 1OO,-
600 bushels of seed grain from the
Federal Seed Stocks Committee.
The closing date for receiving Or
ders will be March 80, according
to notifications recently received.
A recent ruling by Henry Wal
lace, secretary of agriculture, re-
moves all storage charges so that
one price will be charged, regard
less of what date the order is
placed. This is welcome news, as
it means a saving of over $1,000
to the farmers of this county. The
federal seed stocks are looked up
on more as a reserve supply, and
farmers are urged to buy SEED
from neighbors when possible. Tht
local supply is slightly lower il
price and should be used first.

CANADIAN FARMERS
FIGHT The BATTLE
OF The WORKERS

OTTAWA, Canada.-(FP)-Ar-
guing that a blow against labor
is blow against the farmer, the
Farmers Unity League of Canada
has cracked down on the govern
ment's attempt to keep strikers
from getting unemployment insur-
ance benefits.
A clause in Premier Benefits
unemployment insurance bill states
that strikers will not be eligible
to benefits unless they can prove
that they had no part in starting
the strike.
Organized labor has made no
protest, but the Farmers Unity
League said that this blow to
labor unions, struggling to increase
purchasing power and striking a.
gainst sweated wages, hurts the
farmer. Unemployment benefits
must be payable to strikers be-
cause anything that contributes to
purchasing power helps the farm
ers, the Full. continued.
The governments unemployment
insurance bill provides that adult
male workers shall receive unem-
ployment benefits of Sc a week
with an allowance of $2.70 for al
edult dependent and 80 cents fol
children. Empowers and employ
ees are to pay 25 cents a week fol
each worker employed, while the
government is to contribute II
cents a week and bear the cost Of
administration.
Adult women will pay Fl cents
a week and get benefits Of SOLO
There are to be smaller contribu
lions and benefits for workers be-
tween 16 and 81 years.
For 7S Days Only
After worker has contributed
for 40 weeks, he will be eligible
for benefits for 78 days, with some
extension as the years pass.
The plan applies only to work
ers in construction. mining an,
manufacturing industries, whole
eale and retail trade, transporta
ton and personal servants o
club and hotels. It does not di
rectly provide for accident ant
sickness insurance, but will EN-
power the administration commits

The bill makes no provision TO
those in need.

was actually getting $50, an a.
mount which made it practically
impossible to carry through the
stock. He demanded immediate
action from Griffin.

 that could be laid against the de-

 II. Hauptmann never was in Hopewcll, never was in the Lind tergh home, and cannot be
 charged with burglary of that home.
