anguish Of Mrs. Blase and her in
situations, ne demanded a further
investigation. He called several of
MS neighbors, and saw Sheriff
Madsen and County Attorney Ho-
ven, and they talked to Oscar An
oerson, but the above was all they
could ferret out.
Anderson was held for a few
days and then turned loose. He
hung about town drunk since that
1me' seemingly well supplied with
money.
The day of the fiendish act, was
the day first set for the hearing
OF the citation in the Callahan con-
tempt case. It appears that the
Blases, Lossings, and States, and
Carl Bull, did not know that the
hearing had been cintinued until
Friday, May 20. The dastardly
deed was timed so as to reach the
sheriff's office at the very time
the contempt hearing was on. But
because of the fact that Callahan
had served a continuance of the
case, the enterprise seems to have
missed fire. And maybe it was
because of this arrangement that
the attorney Of the Union Central
Life Insurance Company was so
reluctant about the continuance Of
the hearing.
The Plentywood Herald reported
the hair raising horror in such a
way as to give credence to the
ridiculous and preposterious hoax,
and reinforced its insinuatiOns by
stating that Sheriff Hans Madsen
had a clue. or something Of the
sort which he actually intended to
follow up.
Neither the Herald nor Sheriff
Madsen seem to have any idea con-
corning the whereabouts and &C.
tivities Of that notorious character,
the Bull person, formerly cashier
of the defunct Farmers and Merch-
ants State Bank at Plentywood on
that fateful morn.
The conception of the whole
drama is about what might be the
product of a fertile intellect of
Carl Bull, and couple "screwy
corporation attorneys, for the pur-
pose of creating sentiment.
And the reports by the officials
unfortunately do not seem to
comprehend the activities of Blase,
Losing and States that morning.
On Thursday, three men of the
Redstone country were in Plenty
wood all day, we'll supplied with
money, going from beer parlor to
beer parlor, buying drinks for all
who looked thirsty, and telling a
yarn about a number of Holiday
farmers who were up to the Gala
han farm where they had Art Blase
locked in the barn, and Mrs. Blase
prisoner in the cellar, and other
wise behaving in a very strange
and sensational manner. These
birds even came to the Producers
News office with their weird tale,
where they were promptly recog-
nized as stoolpigeons. These char
acters had arrived in Plentywo0d
early in the morning and started
their activities before Mrs. Blase
sobbed her terrifying tale into the
sympathetic ear of Sheriff Mad
sen.
Plenty of simps fell for the line,
hook and Sinker, without ques-

ton of doubt. They did not ask
how did these four men know
where Anderson was at work =?
They did not inquire "Why would
anybody, and Holiday farmers pick
on the Blase hired MANI" Nor
GLOW could the hired mans shoes
have been burned without burning
his feet 2" And GLOW did he man
age to get loose so quickly?"
Carl Bull and Art Blase know,
very likely all the details. And
Oscar Anderson picked up a few
easy dollars and got a new pair
of shoes and some new, clean
socks.
Oscar Anderson is a Finn worker
who came from Butte to Flaxville
with another worker last fall and
where they shacked all winter, and
who went to work several weeks
ago for Blase on the Callahan
farm. He is not known among the
farmers, and no Holiday farmer in
the county would have any motive
to abuse and torture him in any
way for any purpose.
The whole matter is too simple
and silly for serious consideration
The matter was planned and
staged in a daffy effort to create
sentiment against the Holiday
farmer.

SharecrOppers Deluxe
By JOHN HERRING

WASHINGTON.Henrv A. Wal
lace, Secretary of Agriculture, is
known as good man and mystic.
When the spirit is upon him, he
secludes himself, all telephones are
shut off, secretaries are barred.
Many of the great DECISIONS of the
department are made while the Sec
rotary holds himself incommuni-
cado from the world.
In between silences, Wallace
springs to action, and during the
three years of the AAA, in his
mysterious way he distributed a
billion dollars under contracts cur
failing various crops. The prin-
ciple of distribution is the we'll
known mystic principle that to
those who have shall be given.
First, let US go rapidly through
some of the crops and see how
some of the boys came out:
One Florida sugar cane producer
was paid $LO67,66 for not pro-
ducing sugar. He was not share
crOpper.
One Hawaiian sugar company
received $1,O22,0S7 for not raising
sugar. 1t was not a sharecrOpper.
One Puerto Rican corporation re-
ceived $961,O64. The bank own
ing it is no sharecrOpper.
Thomas D. Campbell of Mon
tana, "King of the Wheat Grow
ers,' was paid over $4,000 trib-
ute for not planting wheat on land
which he rented from the Crow
Indians for so cents to $3.50 an
acre. The government paid him
up to $3.50 an acre for not plant
ing.
Now, that's sharecrOpping de
luxe. Remember that in this case

seem just what to do next.
Anderson related how he had
gone Immediately after breakfast
that morning back a half a mile
or more from the Callahan farm
into a coulee to cut fence posts
for Art Blase; that at about 9
o'clock or Whereabouts, car drove
up, he could not give any definite
description of it, nor did he get
the number of the license, and
four strange men stepped out, and
came over to him and seized him
and bound him to tree with wire
and rope, and then set a fire about
his feet and departed. After lit
tie effort Oscar freed himself,
jumped out of the fire, which had
badly burned one shoe and Slnged
his overalls, and charred his socks
to crisp, but fortunately did not
burn his feet or legs at all, due
to his foresight, sagacity and
initiative, and the lowering wings
of his guardian angle.
Freed from his shackles, the
faithful hired man, stamped out
the fire, took the shoe and sock
off one foot, and suffering the
agonies of hell, he hobbled down
to the Callahan house, carrying his
shoe burned to a crisp and the
remnants of his sock in his hand
sort of one shoe off and one
shoe on situation, where he told
the story of his terrible experience
to tender hearted and sympathetic
Mrs. Blase, who weeping pitifully,
and convulsed by sobs, jumped into
the car and high-tailed it to Red
stone where she called the sheriff
and did her stuff.
/ Sheriff Madsen examined the
hired mans feet, and there was
not a burn or a blister on either
one of them. His fair legs were
not even singed, not hair was
burned. The long underwear which
he wore was not even burned by
the raging flames. However, both
shoes were burned, one slightly
the other to a crisp, and one SOCK
was actually burned beyond rec
ognition, and holes were burned il
the legs of his overalls.
The officials went to the scene
of the torture. Oscar Anderson
pointed out a tree or a stump tt
which he was bound, and about
two or three rods away from the
stake was the place where there
had been a small fire and where
the shoes and socks had beer
cruelty burned. The faithful anC
honest hired man could not find
the wire or rope with which he
was bound, nor could he remember
the size of the rope or whether
the wire was smooth or barbed-
| he had not noticed that because o.
the agony his shoes and sock
were suffering. Nor could tn
good man explain how a fire 81
far away could burn his shoes un
less they were off.
But while Oscar could not Elk
plain things at all, such simpi
things, vet he still stuck stoutly t
his story about the four men. ID
did not recognize one Of them
but one was large and more o
less corpulent like the editor of tn

the Indians were the landlords and
Campbell the sharecropper.
A Califirnia corporation which
feeds hogs on garbage was paid
$157,O2O for not feeding so many
hogs. Painstaking research has
failed to reveal what happened to
the garbage which went to waste.
AAA Man Gets Cash
Now for cotton.
Oscar Johnston, manager of the
Federal cotton pool, and an i'm
portant officer of the AAA, is also
president of the Delta and Pine
Land Company of Scott, Missis-
Sippi. It is a corporation financed
by British capital. The company
of which Johnston is an officer,
received $177,947 for not growing
cotton.
On this plantation are 1900 ten
ants and sharecroppers who were
supposed to receive half of the
money. If they did, each family
received little more than $58 for
the years work.
Over in Arkansas is the Wilson
Plantation. The tales of suffering
and intimidation are many in Joe
Robinson's state; but when share
troopers talk of Wilson's planta-
ton, it is with the awe of horror.
From this plantation, as you may
remember from Howard Kester's
pamphlet, John Allen, organizer of
the Southern Tenant Farmers
Union, barely escaped with his life
because of his union activity.
The Wilson plantation was paid
$199.700 for not planting cotton.
Since the greatest part of the
thousands of Wilson acres have
been turned over to day labor, the
money stayed just where it was
sent by the governmental the
company bank.
From the Bookings Institute
have come a series of reports on
the AAA program. A Mr.. Henry
Richards has pooh-hoohed in a nice
academic way the belief that share
choppers have been evicted on that
plantations have been turned into
a day-labor basis. He says:
Taken as a whole, the avail
able evidence does not substan-
tate the alarmist statements
that a great number of tenants
which have been widely circulated
and sharecrOppers have been dis
placed or their status reduced"
The professor has been invited
by the Southern Tenant Farmers
Union to come away from the
marble halls of Brookings and see
life around Marked Tree, Arkan-
sas, or Earle, or any number Of
places. He will be shown living
evidence, men, women and chill
dren, white and Negro on the
roads. Perhaps they don't count
as evidence.
Indeed, the professor might &c
down to Arkansas with the Presi-
dent next June when Roosevelt
goes to that state to whoop it UP
for Senator Joe Terror Robinson.

between towns were often four or
five hundred miles of frozen waste
land. Before starting out on a
journey people would prepare enough
of these dumplings to last for days.
To heat them they would light a
fire by the roadside, heat melted
snow in a dish that was carried for
this purpose and drop the dump
lings in boiling water. This is the
recipe.
Siberian Dumplings
A glass and half of -four, half
glass of water remember that
Russians even serve tea in glasses
instead of cups, two eggs, one
eighth ounce of salt. Mix into a
dough, roll fairly thin and cut in
little squares. Grind half a pound
of cooked meat-beef, lamb or pork,
fat and lean-season with salt and
pepper and flavor with grated onion.
Spoon little heaps of this on the
dough couple of inches apart.
Cover with another sheet of dough
and press together around the
mounds of filling with the back of
spoon, then cut into sections, like
ravioli.

hard to give specific directions for
freshening the fish. However, the
small filets and flakes will freshen
in much shorter time than the
larger bony pieces.
Put the fish in lukewarm water
and let stand two or three hours,
changing the water at least three
times. Very salty fish may need
to stand from IL to "a hours, chang
