A sailor went to a burlesque
show and the next day went
down to the dispensary TO have
his eyes treated.
"After I saw the show last
night" he explained, my eyes
were red and inflamed."
The Doctor looked him over,
thought a minute and then re-
marked: after this, try blink
ing your eyes once or twice
during the show - you won't
miss much"

FARMERS UNION OFFICERS
LEAVE FOR WASHINGTON

H. D. Rolph, president of the
Montana division, Farmers I'm
ion, and Leo Doheny, executive
board member of the same Or
ganization left Saturday fo1
Washington, D. C. Mr.. Rolph
and MI. Doheny are the Mon
tana representatives on the
Farmers Union legislative COM
mittee.
The legislative program of
the Farmers Union for 1910 is
to secure the passage of the
Certificate Bill for wheat and
the Farm Debt Adjustment Bill.
Both these measures were in
troduced in the Senate by Sen
ator Wheeler in the closing days
Of the last session OF Congress.
The Wheat Certificate Bill s.
1895 would give farmers full
parity for 75 per cent of their
normal production by means of
a wheat certificate which the
professor would have to pur-
chase. The value of this certif-
icate would be the difference
between the average market
price and the parity figure. The
Farmers Union is seeking the
support Of all for this bill
and pointed out that when
wheat is a good price there is
general prosperity.
The Debt Adjustment Bill
would cover those farmers who
are heavily mortgaged. The
Farmers Union has been re-
sponsible for much legislation
i'm recent years to benefit the
tenant farmer. The purpose of
this legislation is to prevent the
farmer from becoming a ten
ant. Under the terms of the bill
the farmer would apply to a
local debt adjustment commit
tee. He would have five years
during which he would have the
status of a tenant. In these five
years the productivity of the
farm would be studied. AT the
end of the period the indebted
ness of the farm would be
placed on an amortized basis
for a period of forty years.
Yearly payments would be based
on the results of the study made
of the productivity of the farm
during the five year period and
the probable trend of farm pri-
ces.
The Farmers Union legisla-
tive committee has been instru-
mental in securing much bene-
fetal farm legislation since its
organization in 1888. Chief
among it's accomplishments are
the Commodity Exchange Act to
regulate the grain exchanges,
the Crop Insurance Act, Farm
Security Administration, and
appropriations for parity pay
ments.

 Although his opponents didn't rank among the leading heavy weights, they included some fairly good names-Al Ettore Art Oliver, Carl Vinciquerra and Charley Mas Sera.
 Paychek's lightning left usually finishes his opponents. It's a slash ing, accurate weapon, not the hard est hitting in the business, but definitely a cutting instrument that has ruined most of Paychek's foes. Bald Johnny's first reverse in 24 fights was a close newspaper decision to Maurice Strickland here last June.
 George Moves Out
 He got that one back, though, by beating out a decision over Strickland six weeks later. That was his last Des Moines appear ance. Steinman and George had a disagreement over financial mat ters (the two fights crossed close to $40,000, an Iowa record), and Pinkie announced he was relin- quishing all interest in Paychek.
 George went out and got him. self Lee Savold, whom he is at- tempting to maneuver into a title shot. Steinman got his fighter there first, but George asserts Savold will get an outdoor shot at Louis providing the champ beats Pay chek. Little Pinkie claims he isn't worried about that.
