Mass Meeting at Comertown
Launches Fight for Better Deal

A vigorous protest of the gov
ernments announced intention of
taking practically all the proceeds
from wheat and flax crops to re-
tire old feed and seed loans was
launched by farmers in the Conner
town locality Sunday.
Action was precipitated by the
posting of notices in all elevators
to the effect that two checks must
be issued in payment for crops
hauled in. For wheat a check for
Is cents per bushel is to go to the
farmer, to cover cost of harvesting,
the check for the balance to be
turned over to the government to-
ward retirement of old feed and
seed loans. For flax the division
is thirty cents and balance.
Notices were posted by order of
Z. A. Draper, U. S. Field Super
visor for Sheridan county.
Protest was in the form of COM
munications addressed to Senators
B. K. Wheeler and James A. Muir
ray, and Congressman RIP. Mon
Afghan and Roy Ayers and follow
ed elaboration of a mass meeting
of Farmers sponsored by the Mon.
tana Holiday Association. Resolu.
tons were unanimously passed in
structing committees to protes
the governmental appropriation o.
all crops proceeds and also asking
that all outstanding loans be re
garded as relief and written Of
the books. The communication:
read:-

RELIEF OFFICES TO
Be CLOSED SOON
Transient Camps now being
Abandoned. Four Billion
Fund Carries Whole Load

Helena, Aug. 16. Montana is
daily nearing the time when direct
federal and state relief will be
shunted to the Works Progress ad-
ministration with the dole supplan-
ted by hundreds of work providing
developments and improvements.
This was seen today as federal
relief workers two of them assign
ed from outside the state, scanned
the Montana relief situation and
prepared to make recommended
tions for curtailment and cessation
of certain activities.
At Livingston, the Associated
Press was advised. o. H. Lull, re-
presenting the National Relief ad-
ministration in Washington, indi-
Gated the first step toward this
objective would be taken by mid
September, with the closing Of the
transient depot.
Today he went to Miles City
where another depot is in opera
ton and at state relief headquar-
tiers it was stated his survey would
be statewide before definite plans
are nodded for the future program
At the same time, Miss Alice
Clements of the regional FERA of.
flee in Denver was in Helena max
ing a further reconnaissance of the
transient relief situation. 1t was
indicated she would have the fina
word in deciding which transient
centers would be abandoned.
The depot at Livingston. it was
stated there, has been operated
for about $4,000 month. A staff
of from 10 to Is workers has beer
assigned there. The Livingston sta
ton replaced a soup kitchen op
Grated by the municipality.

Support has not been Met
SURVEY COMPLETE

Billings, Aug. 14-Four hundred
families are now living wholly on
relief in Billings according to q
survey Just completed. Many Of
the families have been obliged TO
move into slum districts and
their morale and spirits have ebbed
almost to the vanishing point OBJ

the four billion dollar fund will

The second communication reads
as follows:-
Several years ago both Senators
Walsh and Wheeler promised "a
fight for cancellation of all gov
ernmental loans. In this section
hope has long since passed THAI
most farmers can ever repay.
Farmers must live, like yourself.
There must be something to live
on. For six years there has been
practically no crop; in 1891 and
1884 absolutely nome. Cattle and
livestock have died because Of LACK
of food. although the Relief Ad-
ministration has hundreds Of tons
of hay now rOtting in piles of bal.
es. These are but high lights On
the situation.
We earnestly urge that all out

New York City. Aug. IA. = An
enthusiastic response from all

plans for a new party by 1886 is
reparted by Alfred Bingham, ex-
ecutive secretary of the American
Commonwealth Political Fedora
ton which was formed at the con-
ference in Chicago early in July.
With plans already started foI
the national convention which the

from groups and individuals de-
string official recognition in their
states.
The third party idea is in the
air.. declared Bingham in a state.
ment this week. "FrOm the ex-
treme conservatives to the extreme
radicals careful note is being taker
of the growing movement. Reac'
tionaries are divided as to its pro.
bable result in 1886: while certain
Republican quarters hope that {
new party will take more votes
from Roosevelt than form the Re
publicans, other conservative inter
ests, as evidenced in a recent edi
tOrial in a San Diego paper, fee
that they should unite behind Roo

JAIL HOSPITAL
HOLDS OWENS

ANNAPOLIS, June 11.-Said by
authorities to be in a highly ner-
vous condition, Col. Robert Bowie
owens, distinguished scientist,
was held in the hospital ward Of
the Anne Arundel county jail to-
day under charges of assault with
intent to kill.
Colonel owens, an intimate
friend of General Pershing and
Secretary of War Dern, was ar
rested at his estate, Foxhall Farm,
near here, yesterday following a
terrific struggle with county Of
ficerS during which, it is said, he
attempted to draw a revolver.
He is charged with shooting
colored employe he discharged
several days ago. After he was
overpowered the officers seized IS
rifles, shotguns and pistols scat
tered around the house. several
knives and a large quantity Of
ammunition.
Colonel owens, who is widely
known in Washington, was mar
ried in the Capital last year, with
Secretary Dern acting as his best
man.
No date has been set for a hear
ing on the assault charge.

Spinning Song

The Spinning Song" the theme
of which is shown above, is a
realistic bit of program music
with clever imitation of the
noise of an old-fashioned spinning
wheel sounding necessarily in the
background. The wheel imitation
is produced by q figure revolving
quickly around one note ana
played by the violins in the or
chestra score or by the piano in
simpler arrangements.
The music suggests a scene Of
woman before the spinning
wheel humming or singing songs
against the inceSsant whir of the
machine. The theme shown is
the first "song"; then the tune
varies little from the theme, but
the same rhythm is kept through
out. The Spinning Song is one
of the best known of a set OF
pieces called Songs Without
Words" by the great composer
Felix Mendelssohn.

WHEN REBELLIOUS
STOMACH BRINGS
DAILY MISERY
A message from the makers of
SCOTS Emulsion that will
please millions.

Most stomach troubles come from
an acid condition which causes fer
mentation, gas, bloating and other
distress.
When these symptoms persist in
making you feel miserable day after
day-your trouble is then called dys-
pepsia, indigestion or gastritis.
Right now the makers of the IA
NOUS SCOTS Emulsion, are offering
to stomach sufferers thru pharma-
cists supremely good and swift act
ing formula called KI-MOIDS-
pleasant tasting tablets that quickly
dissolve on the tongue.
You'll like EI,MOIDS because they
are real-they always work.
And We know they will bring com.
fort to any acid upset stomach-one
25 cent size will convince you Of all
this.
