WPA NOW JUSTIFIES NEW
LEASE ON LIFE.
(Cut Bank Pioneer Press

The new economy tack taken by
the administration, it was thought
might send WPA far into the sha-
dows and many sour cynics had
their first spells of merriment for
months.
But now, it seems, this agency
has run smack into a new field of

THE government is attempting to

femininity-Where is a Woman's
Wastline?
THE exploration is under direc-

seThe feminine wastline, WPA has
discovered, is an elusive thing. APP

wastline has been a serious handi-

laws with teeth to deal with their
premediated intention? All of these
foreign organizations should be
barred in the United States. They
are all conspiring against our gov
eminent and if permitted to thrive
as in the past, will some day start
revolution that will cost no end
of innocent lives and property de-
struction, even though they fail.
Further tolerance of these conspir-
/ ing organizations is only inviting
trouble that can easily be prevent
ed. All foreign secret organizations
in this country should not be per-
mitted to exist and all new political
or so-called religious organizations
that fail to come out in the open
should be carefully investigated, as
these conspirators often call their
organizations by the least suspicious
names. We should all bear in mind
that freedom ends where conspiracy
begins.
The Western news. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1933-current, 1940-01-25

concerning conspiracies to under
government, 1t is next to impos-
sible to visualize any set OF sane
men who would band themselves
together to destroy the most lib
eral government on earth.
We are now confronted with in
disputable facts and evidence to
amply support these facts that such
a conspiracy exists. After the ar
rest of 18 members of the Christ
ian Front" by FBI agents in New
York Sunday, and the unwilling of
after numbering number OF mem
bers of congress, we can no longer
refuse to accept the proven picture
of deep laid conspiracy to attempt
to destroy this government. Mu-
nitions, bombs and plans for such a
coup were found at the headquar-
tiers of this organization, and one of
the head men of the German bund
is among the leaders now under
arrest.
We have always believed there is
limit to the freedom guaranteed
us by the bill of rights, behind
which SO many conspirators hide
to undermine the very foundation
of this great free government. We
have always believed there is a
point where freedom ends under
/ the bill of rights and seditious ac-
tivity begins. We have always ques-
| toned the wisdom Of permitting
organizations to exist which have
for their ultimate goal the destruc-
ton of our form of government and
the setting up of a totalitarian gov
eminent in its place. Such organ
izall0ns are a far cry beyond the
realm of our guarantee of freedom
and tolerance Communism and the
various other foreign isms that
have come to our shores of late
years are here for but one purpose
to destroy the great democratic
government of the United States.
II this be true, then why permit
any of them to exist?
It might be well for congress at
the present session to enact ade-
quate laws to meet and deal with
such sedicious activities. 1t develops
that these conspirators are charged
with sedicious conspiracy under
section 6, title 18 of the u. S. code
which provides a maximum penalty
on conviction of $4,000 fine or six
years in prison or both This is

our laws for sedicious conspiracy

Fir rs Medicine Tree

Among the northwestern Indians
the great silver or white fir is held
in high esteem as the medicine
tree says Nature Magazine. In
some localities young girls follow an
age-o1d practice of stroking feet and
ankles with white fir branches SO
that they will be small and shapely
and never tire. They likewise brush
their hands to keep them small, and
their faces that they may be beauti-
full. Reliance is placed on the pun
gent fragrance Of the white fir to
protect feather finery, furs and WOOL
ems from moths. Small pieces OF hot
charcoal from the Douglas fir are
laid on the affected regions to re-
lieve rheumatic pains and muscle
cramps. A drink made by boiling
young fir twigs with their leaves is

Senator Clyde M. Reed Of Kansas has to say about
transportation because for many years he has repre-

Recently, in Chicago, he spoke on the need for a

out its tangled transportation situation SO that the

Characterizing most river Improvement schemes

waterway transportation is not low cost transporta
ton; it is the highest cost transportation as COM
pared with the highways or the railroads. The only
reason for loUer charges is the subsidy paid by
taxpayers out of the public treasury"
"The important thing in this connection" he said,
sis whether we going to continue to tax the
whole people for the benefit of comparatively small
number of people. Are the cities and trade centers
located off the rivers to be, not only taxed but addi

USING NEWSPAPERS

Some significant statements were
made recently before the Mississippi
Press Association in an address by
George M. Crowson, assistant to the
president of the Illinois Central, a
railroad which has conducted news
paper advertising campaign without
a break for 20 years.
This advertising, carried by news
papers i'm the vast territory served by
the railroad, has been of great value
in building good will, through inform
ing the public concerning the roads
problems and the efforts made to- meet
them from time to time, Mr. Crowson
told the editors, and he described
some of the methods employed in pres
enting these facts.
Explaining why the Illinois Central
had been so loyal to the newspapers,
which have been used consistently
in it's advertising program Mr. Crowsou
said:
We believe we have message for
every literate person on our railroad,
and the enc form of advertising which
reaches all people who undertake to
keep up what lis going on about them
lis newspaper advertising. OF course
many people read other publications,
TOO, but nothing has yet come along
to take the place eff the newspaper as
the first essential
"And that goes for the country
weeklies as we'll as the city dall1es'
Frankly, I believe the country week
" is enc of the best buys to be hao
for advertising designed to influence
public opinion; that is true because
the we'll edited country weekly ranks
so high in reader interest per SUP
scriber."
