them. If there is money I'm
farming anywhere there should
be in such a locality. But the
difference between farmers ut
Dillon and other parts of the
state where they have not had
a crop in seven years is this:
where a farmer on a section OF
drv land owes $4,000, ON a Sec
ton of land in Beaverhead cOun-
ty, he owes $4,000, all of which
he is trying to pay taxes and
interest ON. When he goes to a
bank in Dillon and is able to
borrow money, he is given a
check book and put ON a bud
get. When he buys groceries
he fills in a place prepared for
that purpose, groceries; if for
labor, he fills in the. place,

ranchers of this great prOduc-

are all chain and of course take
their orders from the big BOSSES
So while the ranchers herd sheep
for them, they herd the ranch
ers for those who crack the lash

government of France, made it
certain that friends of the rebels
must act very cautiously in sup
plying war materials. Germany
was the last nation to sign the
pact. 1t was feared for some time
that Germany intended to make
trouble, but apparently the British
let them know that any menace
to Gibraltar by great power
would mean immediate trouble
and Germany doesn't want trouble
with England just now. Hitler
became very threatening over the
assassination of four Nazis" in
Barcelona, until a French daily
paper proved that the Germans
who were KILLED were not Nazis at
all, but refugees from Nazi Ger
many, and that they were fighting
with the Peoples Front and were
killed by the Fascists. Between
this damaging exposure and the
calm warning of England, Hitler
had QUOTED down by the end Of
last week.

Many of us farmers have been
led to believe that the drought
is the cause of our financial
troubles. But history shows
that as far as production is con-
cerned, the farmer always gets
more for less and less for more.
When he gets big crop ne gets
nothing for it and when ne gets
a small crop he has nothing to
sell. A farmer cannot antlcl-
nate what the weather Is gong
to do next. Also he is forced to
gamble with gOphers, cinch bugs,
hail. crickets, grasshppers, cut
worms. as well as drought one
time and floods another. 1
rains sometimes when it should
not and does not rain when II
should. And on top of every
thing else it sometimes trosts
in the middle of the growing
season. If the policy of cutting
down production were best TOT
him. then all of these above
mentioned pests would help mn
do it, and naturally he would
welcome them, but being a prac-
ticaI man he would prefer rais-
ing consumption to meet pro
ductiOn instead of lowering pro-
duction to equal consumption

FEDERAL LAND BANK
RUTHLESS GRABBER
Of all the unscruplOus land
grabbers. the Federal Land Bank
of Spokane is the most ruth
less. Of course if one is going
to be fOreclOsed on, it doesn't
make much difference whether
it is by a big bank or small
one. And if one were going to
be eaten by a wolf, the size or
breed of the wolf would not
make So much difference. In
order to distract attention from
the large number of fOreclOs-
ures and forced sales, farmers
are picked here and there, dis
posed and sent down the
road homeless, only to swell the
ranks of the unemployed. It's
your neighbOr that's picked to-
day, and then you, tomorrow.
And you fellow farmers, who are
fortunate enough to not be fore
cIsed, cannot long remain free
while your neighbOrs are mort
gagged.

The Holiday Association of
Montana has the remedy. First
we farmers. organize for the
purpose of declaring a mOratOri-
UNI on all debts until the cOndi-
tiOns are SO that we can pay

we shall not pay small bills, but
keeps anyone from forcing us
to meet obligations that near
our destruction.

RAPED BY
JUDGE
Case Delayed to Give
Pair Time to Get
New Counsel

RICHMOND, Va, Nov, 10.-De-
claring that the action Of Jesse
C. Duke, diSbarred washington
attorney, "bordered on the crime
of harboring these men," District
Judge Robert N. Pollard today
refused to allow Duke to appear
as defense attorney for John H.
Hoeppel, California Representa-
tive, and his son, Charles j. Hoep-
pei, who are fighting eXtradition
to Washington.
Duke had appeared to defend
the two men, who are under Jail
sentence following their convic-
ton Of conspiring to sell an ap-
pointment to West Point, last
Saturday and a gain yesterday
when they lost an effort to Sc
cure q writ Of habeaS corpus.
Demands Appeal
Today Duke appeared before
Judge Pollard and announced
that he would seek to have the
United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals review Judge Pollard'S
decision.
It was then that the juriSt
pointed out that Duke could not
appear in the court since he had
never qualified to practice there
Pointing out that Duke had
been disbarred in Washington
Judge Pollard said this would not
prevent the attorney from max.
ing formal application to prac
tice in the court if he so desired
At the some time the juriSt
warned Duke that he had learned
from sources which he could not
ignore that Dukes action in con
nection with the case bordered
on the crime of harboring the
defendants.
Ruling Delayed
United States District Attorney
Sterling Hutcheson moved to order
the two men removed to Wash
ington, and Judge Pollard said he
would not rule on this until later
in the day to give the defendants
an opportunity to obtain new
counsel If they so desired.
Free under 81 1000 bond each, the
Hoeppels were declared fugitives
from justice when they failed to
appear here after the United
States Supreme Court had refused
to review their conviction.
Department of Justice agents
found them in Richmond last
week and they were arrested and
have been held in jail since. They
face sentences Of from four months
to q year in prison.

Dog Finds Chi|d's Leg;
Murder Seen Likely

DENVER, Nov. 10 G.N.SO
Denver police today investigated
the possibility that discovery of
the bone Of a dismembered human
leg, apparently that Of a child,
might have been the result Of a
murder.
A dog dragged the bone into the
back yard of Aubrey H. Heald's
home in North Denver Monday.
Two weeks ago a dog brought
a similar bone to the home of a
rancher living four miles east of
Trinidad, in the southern part of
Colorado.
The Washington times., 1936-11-10

This was learned from Bernard
K. Sander, Broadway lawyer, who
vainly championed the auda-
ciouS youth in 1884. Sander said
Smiukse now is in SecluSion some
where near Montreal" He added:
81 wanted to wait until the
election was over to start the re-
admission proceedings. I didn't
want to mix this thing up in
politics"
It was on August 81, 1884, that
SmiukSe performed the act which
grew into a cause celebre.
The youth, who is a student of
the arts as well as practical
house painter, was a visitor at the
swanky Westchester Institute of
Fine Arts, at TarrytoWn, on that
day. A few minutes after he had
paid his IS cents admission fee he
saw something which caused his
blue eyes to blaze with wrath. It
was an ANONYMOUS painting en-
titled Nightmare, 1884" in which
President and Mrs. Roosevelt were
lampooned.
The caricature was so offensive
to SmiukSe that he grabbed a
bucket of varniSh, smeared the
picture and touched a match to it.
Smiukse was arrested end given
six weeks in Jail over protests of
many prominent individuals and
groups who came to his aid.
Then it was found he was lille.
gally in this country, having
jumped ship in New York harbor
