Chick Brooder
Is Recommended

Glen Gustafson has contruc-
ted a homemade Dutch oven
brooder in which he is brooding
a number of baby chicks this
spring. This brooder is proving
very satisfactory and MIR. Gus
tafSon names as advantages, its
simplicity of construction and
low cost both to build and to
maintain.
It is constructed by placing
a metal oil barrel or gasoline
barrel under one end of the
brooder house. A door to the
fire box is made in the head
of the barrel. A stove pipe
from the other end is conducted
under the floor of the house 4
or S feet, to further warm the
floor before the pipe is taken
up through the roof. Any fuel
can be burned in it but wood
is probably the most econom-
ical since no crate is required
and a smoldering fire is better
and gives a more even tenn
perature.
The floor of the house may
be either sand or cement. The
heat from the fire box is con-
Quoted up through the rocks
sand surrounding it,
through the floor and reflect
ed up against the home made
hover. The heat is then thrown
down onto the chicks or poults'
backs.
Plans for these homemade
brooders may be obtained at
the county agents office.

If he had been driving more

ASKS FARMERS
COOPERATION

Compliance with acreage al
lotmentS set up by the Big
Horn county agricultural con-
servation committee is the in
dividual farmers responsible
ity," George Miller, committee
chairman, warned Big Horn
county cooperators.
A committee cannot place an
operator in compliance if he
has overSeeded his allotted &C
res. IF farmers have not PLAN
ted within their allotmentS they
will be subject to deductions
from their 1910 payment"
Chairman Miller stated.
In many cases farmers have
not protested their acreage re-
ports until after they receive
their payment and to eliminate
this the county committee will
require that a farmer or his
representative accompany the
supervisor when he iS supervis-
ing the land, he added. I'm
avoidable mistakes have been
made in the past on the seeded
acreage reports due to the fact
that the supervisor was not di-
rected by the farmer in the
supervising of the farm. The
committee feels that if the
farmer accompanies the super
visor more accurate reports
will be made, both from the
standpoint of the farmer and
the committee.
Farmers will be notified in
advance when supervising is to
talks place and should arrange
to accompany the supervisor
to obtain a more accurate -mea-
surement, Chairman Miller said.

POLITICAL ROTTENNESS

system that we so fondly hang on to.
But there is one thing. The diseases
that go with prostitution can be wiped
out by using just little of the intel
ligence we have, and taking disease
ridden prostitutes out of circulation
until cured What you can't cure you
can at least control to the betterment
of all.
l saw a piece in the daily paper
short time back warning children
that If they were caught putting slugs
in slot machines they would be ar
rested. The article was signed by the
local truant officer of Helena. The
piece didn't say anything about put
ting nickels, dimes or quarters in the
slot machines SO l guess it was al
right if they played the machines as
long as they didn't slug them. This
political setup reaches in and has a
controlling pressure on the relief and
the WPA setup in Lewis and Clark
county One could fill the Peoples
Voice with dirt, nothing but dirt, on
rotten politics in Lewis and Clark
county and then never reach the bot
tom of it.
It's up to the people that have been
these wrongs to demand that
hese things shall be cleaned up, if for
nothing else than for the health and
well-being of the community at large. |

Big Ranchers In
Effort To Dodge
PAYROLL Tax

SACRAMENTO Cal.-(FP)-An at
tempt by a group of big ranch own
ers allied with the Associated Farmers
to deprive packing and processing
workers of unemployment insurance
benefits has boomeranged.
The agricultural producers tried to
have the state employment commits
sion exempt some 10000 agricultural
canning and processing workers
Instead, the commission broadened
the scope of the act by including under
it workers clearing land for agricul-
tural purposes and constructing irriga-
tion works, carpenters, painters, black
smiths, timekeepers, bookkeepers,
clerical workers, watchmen, janitors,
cooks and gardeners, even though they
are employed by farm owner or
tenant.
The new rule becomes effective on
April l and employers must begin
paying insurance tax on that date.

The Business That
Booms In the
Spring, Tra-la!

TOLEDO.-(FP)-A deputy sheriff
and several sub-deputies entered a
frame house on Huron street. In the
deputy's pocket was an eviction order
duly signed by the county marshal.
Subject of this morning call was
lone woman who with her child oc-
cupied flat inside the frame build
ing. She had been unable to keep
up the rent during the winter.
The visit from the officers was a
certain sign Of spring. Soon the street
awakened to a clatter of noise. Fur
niture came out-chairs, beds, tables,
pots. Then the woman herself and
her child, both in tears.
A number of union men watching
from the opposite side of the street
decided to intervene. They carried
the furniture back into the building.
Five police cruisers were rushed to
the scene. Uniformed men formed
Gordon and the eviction was COM
pleted.

Successful Fool
Is Intolerable"

Do you remember that during the
campaign of 1886 one of the candidates
Tin the upper brackets) started his
my friends and you are my
friends"
At that time the friends he classed
among the best were men who had
repeatedly told the writer that he did
not know the meaning of the word
Friendship" And one in particular,
! Can editor) at one time in an editorial
said that it was better to leave him
in his own dirt; as the more you
agitate skunk the worse it stinks.
This man is now his contact man with
the A. c. M. company.
Why should we listen to this super
fine gentleman when he talks of
friendship which he knows neither in
theory nor in practice. 1t is not in
human nature to be Indifferent to po-
litica1 power and when the price one
has to pay for it is the sacrifice Of
friendship does he think his treason
will be thrown into the shade by the
magnitude of the reward Can any
thing be more foolish than to grasp
at material things land, cattle, sheep"
and other i'll gotten riches, and the
luxury that goes with them, and lose
friends who are the most valuable and
beautiful possessions of life. And yet
when they acquire the former, they
know not for whom they are taking
Al.
possessions which are in a manner the
gifts of fortune do prove permanent
life can never be anything but joyless
without the companionship of friends.
For who in heavens name would
choose life of the greatest wealth
lose his most valuable friends; that is
the sort of life tyrants have, to en-
dure. They of course can count on
no fidelity, no affection, no security |
for the good will of any one. For |
such men all is suspicion, and anx-
iety: for them there is no possibility |
of friendship. Who can have real |
for one whom he fears, or |
by whom he knows that he is feared. |
Yet such men have a show of friend |
ship offered to them, but it is only |
a fair weather show, and when it does
happen that they fall, as they surely |
will sooner or later, they will then
how friendless they really
are. Such men are carried beyond
themselves with self conceit and self |
will, nor can anything be more intol-
cradle than a successful fool.
Thousands in the state of Montana
know how meaningless the words
or friends are when coming

Leiserson Scores
Smith Amendments

ROCHESTER,, NJ y OPP = The
Smith committee, which has recon.
mended emasculatory amendments to
the Wagner act, thoroughly misun-
derstood the act and lacked funda-
mental conception Of it." William M.
Leiserson, NLRB member, charged in
talk before the Rochester City Club.
The Smith amendments would in
crease '1egalism" which Leiserson
characterized as the only defect In the
present setup, rather than decrease it
and make way for a 'laymen's ad-
he said.
II the Wagner act is amended DUR
ing this session of congress and IL "a
backward step is taken, We'll get an
other more drastic law later because

with their right to human

that right for themselves" Leiserson

RAILROADS

9,945,205 shares; and held by indy
iduals (females), 1,082,86S shares.
(Sen. Pettigrew, Imperial Washing
TOM
1t is not hard to see when you
study the two reports why the rail-
roads have been buying and selling
railroads and milking them dry. They
are all connected, even to the stock
market. 1t has been an old habit of
the railroad to come crying and limp
ing to Uncle Sam for relief, and in
the past they have always gotten it
without any trouble to speak of. The
people of the United States have built
and paid for the railroads over and
over again. Every time the railroads
came limping to Uncle Sam because
they had been raped by the money
powers they would be refinanced and
doctored up and sent back to the mas
ter rapers, and the people would pay
the bill. And then the people could
start paying again on transportation
for the necessities of life. First, we,
the people, gave the railroads the
land for them to build on, then we
financed them to build the railroad,
then we paid for them in high trans
portation rates, and then we subsi-
died them internationally for years.
During the World war we re-equipped
and worked over the railroads from
ste INTO stern and put them in first
class shape in the belief that they
were run by the government. This
was false as they never changed hands
at any time but continued under the
same management. Ali that the gov
railroads. And then they were charged
rent on the shops where the engines
and cars were overhauled and they
were also charged rent for the term
inals. The government guaranteed
the railroads dividends on their stocks
and interest on their bonds and as
soon as the road beds were rebuilt,
new rolling stock and the rest re-
painted and overhauled, back they
were sent to the money powers to be
raped. The whole railroad system is
in rundown and deplorable condi-
zion, so here they come, after they
have stolen from it all they can in
Guiding the watered stock, begging
and crying to be subsidized because
the people need them, because of the
little stockholders, the widows, the
orphans and the charitable institu-
tons.
The railroads should be rehabili-
lated by the government and the gov
eminent should take them over and
run them for the people, in behalf of
The people, as they belong to them.
The people have bought and paid for
them too many times already. The
railroads are vital necessity to the
people in this stage of development
md should belong to them as should
Ill of the natural public utilities.

BY BEN BUCKLEY

The Peoples Voice fired the first
shot in the crusade against vice, crime
and rotten politics which has been
fostering and eating not only the NOR
ais of a certain percent of our citizens
Of Montana, but which has also
reached into the graft of politics and
has taken the bread and butter from
the mouths of citizens that have never
lost or won a four-bit piece in a
game of chance in their lives. l never
did nor do l now believe that it is
possible to legislate what you might
term morals But | do believe, and
I think it is only common sense, to
protect the people of community
from the racketeering element.
The people of Helena and of any
other community should have health
protection The people of commun-
ity should feel that they can walk into
any business establishment where
drinks are dispensed and drink from
glass without the fear of contracting
a private disease. While in Billings
a few months ago l saw a moving
picture at one of the theaters show
ing the ravages of private disease
on the body of man, and | will assure
you that it was not pretty picture.
Some of the victims of these diseases
would make your stomach do flip-flops
Just to look at them on the screen.

ical men claimed that 1879 or better

then | have talked to reliable army |
man, and he told me that the percent |
of innocent victims in the army was
many times greater than 1920. And
still we find racketeering so strong in
the underworld that they can and do
dictate to our public officials on such
matters as health because it would
eat into the profits that they receive
from the prostitutes to put in toilets

1889 wheat
CROP SMALLER
THAN In 1888

Montana wheat production in 1913.
was 56,60S, 900 bushels or 1876 percent
smaller than the revised estimate Of
the 1888 crop of 69,522 900 bushels
Both smaller planted acreage and a
lslightly lower yield per seeded acre
explain the smaller 1899 crop. The
1899 acreage seeded was 4,005, 00O
acres or 16 percent smaller than the
4,768,000 acres seeded for harvest in
1888. The yield per seeded acre in
1889, however averaged only slightly
below that of 1888, the figures being
14.1 and 14.6 bushels respectively
In the north-central counties, which
in 1888 produced 30,575,0OO bushels,
the 1889 production dropped to IT,
100000 bushels due both to acreage
Production as well as severe July heat
and dry weather damage which low
cred the 1889 yield per acre to 1873
bushels compared with 20.5 bushels
in 1888. In the northeastern Montana
counties which in 1888 suffered severe
grasshopper damage and produced a
crop of S,397,6OO bushels, the 1899
production increased to 14,128,4 400
bushels, despite a smaller planted
acreage. The yield per acre in this
district, of 11.2 bushels, while below
that shown by the state average, was
more than double the 1888 yield of
5.3 bushels. The central Montana
counties which in 1888 produced 49,
665,800 bushels reflected much smaller
damage in their 1899 production of
1924, 100 bushels, this same situation
being true with the south-central coun-
ties where the 1899 production
amounted to 7,151,3OO bushels com
pared with 9,279,200 bushels in 1898.
AS was the case with the northeast
ern counties, the east-central and
southeastern counties came through
with more wheat in 1899 than was
produced in 1888 due to better yield |
per acre. Rosebud and Garfield coun-
ties suffered the heaviest losses in
1889 as indicated by their yields per
seeded acre of AS bushels in Rose
bud and 1.9 bushels in Garfield. Large |
sections of the latter county were |
denuded of crop by grass |
hoppers in June and July of 1889.
The highest average yield per seeded /
acre in 1889 was reported by Gallatin |
where it was 1922 bushels. Gar
field was the lowest with 1.9 bushels.
The largest planted acreage was that |
If Chouteau county with 303, 200 acres.
This county also had the largest pro-
luction with 4,729,200 bushels The
;malled planted acreage of wheat was
n Silver Bow county with 200 acres.
This county also had the smallest
production with 400 bushels
Two counties in 1889, Chouteau and
fergus each produced in excess of
our million bushels. Two counties,
Hill and Valley produced more than
hree million bushels each; while nine
