plete unofficial returns received to-
day by J. G. Taylor, director of

RYE PROGRAM
TO BE STATED
In NEAR FUTURE

The new rye production control
program will be started in Sheri-
dan County soon, says M. J. Pet
erson, County Extension AGENT
This program will be under the
County Wheat Production Associa-
ton set-up.
The MAIN features of the pro-
gram are: F'
1. ELIGIBILITY Farmers on
Grating farms on which rye was
grown and harvested as grain dir
ing one or more of the wears 1890
1881 and 1882, known as the stan
dard base period, may enter into
a Rye Adjustment Contract with
the Secretary of Agriculture of the
basis OF the average acreage of rye
harvested as grain during that per-
lod. Farmers practicing a regular
rye rotation system will be per-
mltted to continue their regular
rotation. Farmers not having har-
vested any rye as grain during the
standard base period may be given
a base acreage and farm allotment
If rye has been harvested for grain
on the farm operated in each of
the years 1888, 1884, and 1885.
2. RATE OF ADJUSTMENT
Contracts will call for a reduction
IN the base acreage of rye harvest
ed for grain to rs per cent of che
base acreage unless the Secretary
should announce in the sprino Of
each contract year that an addi-
tlonal acreage of rye may be har-
vested as grain. Contract sign
ers will be required to seed each
year not less than 81 per cent of
the average acreage of rye harvest
ed as grain in the base period.
3.FARM ALLOTMENTS-Farm
Allotment in bushels for each farm
under contract will be equal to 80
per cent of the average annual
rye. production" during the base
period. The average annual rye
production, in general, means the
number of bushels secured bv null
tiplying the average annual rye
acreage" harvested as grain on a
farm by the normal yield per acre
for that farm. When rye was har-
vested as grain on a farm in the
standard base period and was seed
ed for harvest as grain in each of
the years 1888, 1884 and 1895, the
average annual rye acreage" will
be somewhat larger than if rye
was not seeded for harvest as
grain in each of the years 1893,
1884 and 1885.
A. AMOUNT OF PAYMENTS
will be 35 cents per bushel of each
farmers allotment. Should the diff
ference between the farm price and
a fair exchange value be less than
35 cents farmers would receive
that difference. The present diff
ference is considerably more than
IS cents however.
5. USE OF ADJUSTED ACRES
There is no limitation set on
acres of rye seeded but only 1870
of the base acres be harvested as
grain unless so permitted by the
Secretary of Agriculture. Excess
acres must be used for pasture,
hay, soil improvement or So used
that it cannot produce grain.
6. Contract is for 1868 in
elusive, the same flexible features
are contained as in the wheat con-
tract.
z. Administrative rulings and
contract samples are now obtain
able at the Extension Office.

BUTLER SAYS new
DEAL ON ADRUNK

New York = The New Deal is
aiding and abetting the high COM
mand of the U. S. army and navy
in putting over a dangerous pro-
gram of military expansion.
That is the charge made by Maj
Gen. Smedley Butler in the second
of series of articles appearing
in the November issue of Common
Sense Magazine. The two branch
es of the service have just complet-
ed the largest and most ambitious
peacetime maneuvers in their his
tory, Butler writes, and the gov
eminent has helped them by liber-
al allowances of public works and
other funds.
1t is little wonder that big bust
ness likes the army and navy, he
claims, for they conduct factory
surveys, note production capacities
hand out generous contracts and
serve the corporations abroad.
During his 3S years of service, the
general confesses he was a "high
class muscle man for Big Busi.
ness, for Wall st. and the bankers.
In short, I was a racketeer
for capitalism"
"Thus l helped make Mexico and
especially Tampico safe for Am
erican interests in 1914. 1 helped
make Haiti and Cuba a decent
place for the Natl. City bank to
collect revenues in. l helped in
the raping of half dozen Central
American republics for the benefit
of Wall st. The record of the rack
eteering is long,"

LITERARY DIGEST
new DEALPOLL
BALLOTS ARE HERE

Individual ballots have been mail
ed to voters of Plentywood and
nearby communities in a new Lit
erary Digest poll of 100000 per-
sons to ascertain the present pop
ularity of the New Deal and should
be distributed by the Post Office
locally within a few days, accord
ing to advice received today from
the magazines publishers.
Montana's returns in this new
referendum will be tailed as a unit
SO they may be compared with the
voting In other states, it is an
nounced.
The voting of the postcard bal
lots is secret as no signature or
other Identification is required and
the return postage in paid by the
magazine.
To guard against tampering and
cOunterfeiting a specially manufac-
tured cardboard is used for print
ing the ballot, according to the
sponsors of the poll, and all spuri-
Gus votes can be detected immedi-
ately and destroyed.
The ballot asks yes or no ans
wer to the question: "Do You
NOW Approve the Acts and Poll
cies of the Roosevelt New Deal to-
date ?"
A similar poll to the same TO-
100000 persons was conducted in
the spring of 1884, following the
first year of the Roosevelt admin
stration. Final returns then show
ed a vote of 61.15 per cent for the
New Deal to 1885 per cent against
it.
Another question on the ballot in
the coming referendum asks each
voter how he voted in 1882 to as
certain if there has been any shift
in political sentiment since the last
Presidential election.
Ballots are reported being mail
ed from the magazines headquar-
ters in New York at the rate of
over 100000 per day and will con-
tirue until every section of the
country has been sent its proper
tionate share of the total being
Publication of the first tabulated
returns is anticipated sometime in
November.
The forthcoming balloting will
be the eleventh national multi-mil-
lion vote poll conducted by The
Literary Digest besides several To-
Called referendums which includ-
ed the 1888 Mayoralty contest in
New York City and the 1884 Gu
bernatorial election in California.
Seven of the eleven polls were
held III advance of elections and
each of the seven forecast the Of
fetal outcome with a small margin
Of error, the magazine reports.
The Literary Digest states that
just prior to the 1882 election it
predicted Roosevelt would get &c.
Sc per cent of the popular vote in
his campaign against Hoover. The
official returns showed that the
President received 1914 per cent
of the Roosevelt-Hoover vote re-
vealing an error of OH per cent
In the magazines forecast.
In the spring of 1882 a poll of
the national sentiment on Prohi-
bition forecast a popular vote of
1905 per cent for repeal. Returns
from the States elections which
brought about the demise of the
Eighteenth Amendment in 1888
showed a combined percentage of
73.41 for repeal, evidencing a de-
Walton of 1.64 per cent error in
the magazines balloting on the
Prohibition question.

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 8. W.P)-A
motion picture cameraman occu-
pies no bed of roses, although he
may be within two feet of Mae
Vests boudoir.
If you ask Karl Struss, he is ma
ture'S headache.
A good cameraman must be hair
dresser, modiSte, makeup artist,
scenic artist, set dresser and errand
boy.
It is the property men who add
grey hairs to the clickers. Karl re-
called a picture he was making
with Carole Lombard. On the set
was an odd chair.
In daily 'rushes" OF the sequence,
the chair jumped from one corner
to another then back to the center
of the room without anyone laying
a hand on It.
Too Many Crews
1t developed the morning prop
crew had spotted the chair in one
corner, the afternoon crew thought
1t belonged in another and still a
third man moved 1t into the center
of the room.
Another time Karl was shoot
ing" Mae West. The scene called
for moving shadows on a wall. The
property boys were rehearsed for
several hours, then the company
quit for lunch. Returning, the di-
rector yelled action" but nothing
happened.
The property men had gone
off at noon and new crew was
working.
Karl has altered dresses on the
set because he knew they would be
out of style in six months. He has
dressed the hair of players because
cameramen, as rule, can make
them look more attractive on the
screen than professional hairdress-
ers can.
He recalled walking onto bright
set one day to find floors covered
with black rugs. 1t was sumner,
but the walls would have washed
out" the faces, and the rugs would
have taken out the black evening
clothes of the men. The result
would have been disembodied faces
moving around the room.
