Holiday Farmers Prevent First Effort to S;eza E,
Outfit without Court Order SchntzIer's Get Order
And Send Sheriff Lowe with Horde of Deputies
MAIL-ORDER SALE PLANNED

Sheriff Henry Lowe, of Roose-i
welt county, busted farmer him
self, but still faithful tool of the
bankers, whom he has always ser
we'd, accompanied by a posse of
six deputies, armed to the teeth
with "gats," swooped down on
John Thorpe, aged farmer, who re-
sides five miles northwest Of Gull
bertson, Saturday, August Srd at
about 10 o'clock, and seized all of
his farming machinery on a court
order issued by Judge S. E. Paul
Of this district, to the Schnitzer
Corporation of Froid.
GUNMEN GUARD
THORPE
Sheriff Lowe and his six gun
men, came to the house on the
farm where old John Thorpe re-
sides and which he rents, opened
the door, and read him the "court
order" and then forbade him to
come outside the house and left
two deputies to watch him. Then
the sheriff and his other four de-
puties loaded the three trucks with
old man Thorpe's farming outfit.
It took two trips each for the
three trucks to move the farming
outfit from the farm.
OUTFIT TAKEN
TO FROID
The outfit was taken to the
warehouse of the Schnitzer Cor
poration at Froid where it is being
held for future deposition. The

sale, on the occasion of the sher-
iff sale, and farmers in Sheridan
and Roosevelt counties in Montana
and Williams county, N. D., will

demonstration, if present plans arr
carried out. The Holiday Farmers
feel that the time for mass actor
is opportune, and the big collection
and foreclosure drive nipped in tbs
bud.

or pigs the wheat should be coars-

wheat may have greater feeding
value than market value. If grain
is too badly shrivelled it would be
doubtful if worth while to thresh
but probably wise to feed as hay
without threshing.

By Federation of Labor
Steps Toward Formation of
State Farner-Labor
Party Taken

Appleton, Wis. - By. unanimous
vote the Wisconsin Federation
of Labor's annual convention in
Appleton, July IS, repudiated Pres
ident Roosevelt's profit motive and
endorsed production for use, the
system under which capitalism will
be unable to exist.
The unopposed report of the ex-
eeutive board declares that the sole
remedy for the misery in Ameri-
ca is "a comprehensive plan of pro-
duction for use and not for profit"
CONVENTION
MAY BE CALLED
Steps toward a state Farmer
Labor Party were taken by au-
thorizing the executive board to
call a conference in October with
two delegates each from the Farm
Holiday Assn, the Farmers Equity
Union, the Wisconsin Cooperative
Milk Pool, the Farmer-Labor Pro-
gressive League and the Socialist
Party. The conference is empow-
cred to call a convention to form
a Former-Labor Party if it thinks
best.
The 400 delegates from local
unions and subordinate bodies of
the labor federation were militant
and leftward in temper. They for
mally urged all union members to
, refuse to take jobs under the pau
per wage Of the Roosevelt relief
program.

RELIEF SCALES
The resolution pledged union
support to relief clients who re-
fused to work at the so-called Sc
curity wage. The Workers Alliance
Of America, unemployed organiza'
ton founded under Socialist auspi,
ces, was promised cooperation.

rates for Wisconsin were specifi.

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, Sept. H.
A promise of employment on a
Works Progress Administration
project today lessened the tension
among striking relief clients of
Springfield Township.
Construction on a fish hatchery,
north of Springville, will be started
tomorrow, it was reported.
Workers went on strike Sept. 8,
protesting starvation" wages paid
by Alex Anderson, trustee, who in
stituted his own work -relief plan.
He told strikers they could take or
leave" the work offered.
In petitions to President RooSe-
welt and Wayne Coy, state relief di-
rector. the strikers charged that
Mr.. Anderson paid an hourly wage
scale of 20 cents. payable in grocery
orders, and allowed only II hours of
work a week.
There will be room for every
unemployed man in the township
under the Works Progress Admins
tration," a Federal workhs official
was reported as saying. That
should end the entire difficulty out
there" he concluded.
Meanwhile, county and township
officials made defense moves against
charges of the strikers.
THE strikers refused 30 and IS
cents an hour from the trustee
when he made that offer" said o. c.

unknown by Robert Maestri, a gay

Before we follow Huey Long into
he United States Senate it is neces-
sary, if you would understand
Louisiana politics, to look at Hueys
explanation to the people of why
Jared Sanders Jr. was so violently
opposed to the Long regime.
Long told the people that his feud
with the Sanders family dated back
10 1918, when he was a member OF
the state railroad commission. He
told them the Sanders were sore at
him because he had prevented the
construction of a toll bridge across
Lake POntchartrain. In his auto
biography he states that j. Sanders
Sr., former Governor, was attorney

Lake POntChartrain, some % miles
wide, separates New Orleans from
the Mississippi shore, which is the
summer resort of all LouiSianianS.
In the old days the only way you
could get to Biloxi or Pass Christian
was by boat or by train. When Huey
Long became Governor he built a
great free cauSeWay across the lake
and a Sl4,000,000 bridge across the
Mississippi You would need to have
lived in New orleans to know eX-
actly what that means.
New Orleans is surrounded by
water. In the old days, if you
wished to drive your automobile
north. west or east, you had TO pay
toll to some ferry.
In the senatorial campaign, so
many New Orleans voters were for
him that he lost the g-controlled
city by only 1900 votes. In his race
for the governorship, two years and
three months before, he had lost
the city to his nearest opponent by
q ,426 votes.
Gains 1900 in New Orleans
The old ring in New Orleans
climbed on the band wagon. A
banquet was given the new senator
and Mayor T. SemmeS Walmsley,
after cocktails, GRATED: L am glad to
be here tonight, because. feel it an
obligation l owe to my people and
the people of this state to join hands
with Gov Long and bury our
political tomahawk. so that the city
and state can forge ahead"
There seemed to be peace for
Huey Long. but it was not to last
long. Within a few weeks the New
Orleans ring and Mayor Walmsey
were again on the warpath.

German Spring Festival

In old Germany the festival of
spring was something of a coarse
variety. The villagers built about
one of their numbers a frame of
wood, into which they fastened
garlands and boughs until he was
mp'etely camouflaged, not even
the little bell over his head show
ing through the flowers.
With shouting he was led into
the village, where the magistrate
and the minister and others in au-
thority were sitting on an impro-
vised throne. Then the guessing
began. When the magistrate failed
to speak the name of the Wicker
Whitsuntide Man, he paid to the
crowd in beer. So it went with
the others, until with great hilarity
the man was found out.

Part of Lost Atlantis?

The five inhabited Scilly islands
are st. Mary's, Tresco, st. Mar
tins, st. Agnes and Bryher. The
capital is Hugh Town, st. Mary's.
This, together with Star castle,
dating back to the time of Queen
Elizabeth is situated on a sandy
peninsula known as the Garrison.
The town was a harbor, used by the
Penzance steamers, and a road
stead where large vessels may lie
at anchor.
The main industry of the islands
is flower growing. The islands
have figured in history at various
times. Supposedly they are all
that is left Of the lost continent
Atlantis. Then some supposed
they were the Cassiterides, or "Tin
Islands" of the ancients. They are
now part of the Duchy Of Cornwall,
thus belinging to the prince of
Wales.
