Rumor Causes misunderstanding

This past summer some ranch.
ers who live near town have been
supplying their friends in town
with few of their farm pro-
ducts. Recently they quit bring
ing in their products because
they had been warned, it was re-
ported that they were subject to
arrest for not having q peddler' s
license.
The Chief investigated and
found that the city council had
not attempted to collect a license
and knew absolutely nothing
about it and that they had in no
manner issued any orders to col
lect for such a license. In a talk
with several business men they
stated that they knew of no com.
plant made by anyone, and that
it is understood that any rancher
does not need a license to sell
products he produces on his own
farm, as long as he observes the
dairy, meat and egg laws.
These false rumors do a big
Injustice to the town, and the
farmers, and in no way helps the
Trade at Home policy which
=, is a benefit to US all.

by the sales made here during

the Blackfeet looked on sheep
with adherence and would have
nothing to do with them in any
way. During recent years. condi.
tons as we'll as people have
changed with the result that the

cess to tribal revolving credit

running from $1,000 to 81, 900

brought &c per ID. or an average
of 1892 per head while the old

ence to the Montana law that re-
quires all vehicles to come to full

who was given full credit in the
Congress for engineering addi-
tional appropriations for grass
hopper eradication after so.called
"economy-minded' legisla ors
had reduced the amount of these
needed funds. 1t was he who led
the fight for Senate passage and
House Committee acceptance of
the vital Wheeler LaFollette
amendment which would have
made available some $500, 900, 900
to distressed farmers faced with
mortgage foreclosures. 1t was
Senator Wheeler who pushed
through many smaller but impor
tant bills which made available
funds for reclamation for small
dams. for funds for farm to mar
ket roads.
Now famous as the Senator
who can hammer bills through
Congress, it is expected that at
the next session Senator Wheeler
will push his pending cost-of- pro.

The effect of the war will be
the same on Negroes as on other
citizens, thinks DIR. Dumas. The
need for war materials and food
should cause a business boom
which though artificial would halt
unemployment and bring general
prosperity to both while
tho war lasts"
The NINA president is opposed
to a separate Negro army div-
sion believing the race should be
treated as othes citizens. "a pure
Negro division, even if differed
by Negro officers, could be sub
jected to discriminatory practices
and used as frontline defense in
actual combat and suffer from
merciless gun fire, thus sustain
ing and bearing the brunt of the
enemy's fire to make it easy for
white soldiers to step in an get
credit for the success" says DIR.
Dumas. "This would not be with
out 2 parallel, as history proved
at Fort Pillar during the Civil
a The Negro could best func-
ton if he were integrated in
while divisions, and so distributed
that he could share and fare alike
as his white compatriots. In this
way there could be no charge of
discriminatory practice"

Chicago, secretary of Christian
education of the AME Zion
church, says America should not
be drawn into the war, since it
it not our fight and adds 1--WE can

He believes there is merit in the
plan for a Negro division in army
and navy.
"This war may open tremendous
opportunities for American Ne
groes provided we are sufficiently

kelberger opines: "If continued
