Of Montana for 1887 was cited, which
provides:
EVERY person who runs or con-
ducts, or causes to be run or con-
Quoted, or keeps any slot machine
or permits the same to be run
or conducted for money, checks, cred
it's or any representatives Of value or
any property or thing whatsoever, is
guilty of a misdemeanor."
The hearing was held before Judge
Ewing on December 5, both sides to
the controversy having waived jury
hearing. The contrivance was tried
by several persons during the pro-
gress of the hearing.
1t is expected that the decision will
have widespread influence on the dis
putes over devices of this kind which
have been going on all over the state
for some time past since Attorney
General Bonner had issued orders to
county authorities throughout the
state that the anti-gambling statutes
must be enforced. 1t is probable that
the issue will be brought before the
state supreme court. 1t is also likely
that inasmuch as the decision specif-
ically covers only one type of ma
chine, that operators of other similar
devices may contend that the ma
chimes they operate do not come with
in the ruling of the court and more
actions will have to be instituted by
authorities.

amounted to 1921, 900 bushels.
WHEAT: Winter wheat made some
growth in central and southern por-
tions of the belt as the result of alb
normally warm weather. In most
areas fields are largely bare OF snow
and the semi-dormant condition of the
crop would be unfavorable in case of
severe cold wave. Considerable
snow occurred in the western wheat
belt and precipitation was favorable
Wheat was in need Of moisture, how
ever in parts of the southwest, par
ticularly in New Mexico. In general,
the winter grain outlook continued
favorable.
Harvesting is about completed in
Australia and trade reports indicate
an outturn about up to average. Har-
vesting was also well along in Ar
gentina where the crop is about $3.50
below the revised estimate for last
season. With the surplus for export
or carryover on December l placed
at 129,000,000 bushels and crop of
220, 100000 bushels, total supply of
nearly 350,0O0,000 bushels will be
available for the 1912 season as COM
pared with about 320,O0OOOO bushels
for 1941. If domestic consumption
does not exceed that of nearly 103,-
100000 bushels estimated for 1941,
Argentina will have nearly 25O,O0O,00
bushels of wheat for export during
the season as compared with actual
shipments of less than 100000 900 bush
els in 1941. The storage situation re-

and for eventual ownership of the
project by a "co-operative housing"
group 1t may be said now, and ad-
mitted, that the details of the plan
would indicate the houses and the
project will be publicly owned and
operated" for long time, rather than
Comparatively owned" but apparent
ly the fact that cooperative owner
ship was provided for stirred the vari-
GUS housing administrators.
To appraise what has happened, it
must be remembered that profit real
estate interests kicked out of the orig
! inal Wagner slum clearance bill the
provision for cooperative housing. 1t
should also be recognized that during
all the early days of the defense
housing administration, an ice-water
bath was given to anyone who urged
cooperative housing. But West
brooks plan and the favorable recep-
tion it got throughout the country,
and also in congress, established the
cooperative housing advocates as per-
sons worthy of consideration.
When the Lanham bill was before
the house, Nathan Strauss, admins
traitor of the United States housing
authority denounced the waste and
inefficiency in housing efforts which
he said was due to the conflict of
authority between the various gov
ernment housing groups It was re-
ported that Strauss might resign un-
less the United States housing author
ity was given favorable recognition.
Then 1t was reported that the wings
of G. F. Palmer, co-ordinator of hous-
ing in the defense organization, might
be clipped. Palmer's organization and
administration has been attacked
from inside defense authority circles
and also in congress. Westbrook got
pat on the back.
Now Palmer has issued an an
nouncement of cooperative hous-
ing plan for defense workers" The
plan calls for loans insured by the
federal housing administration. But
where Westbrooks plan was based
on charging the house buyer only go
interest, the tendency under FILA in
surance has been to support much |
higher interest rates. Palmer's asso-
ciates insist they have something in |
which the "co-operatives will be in
terested," but the proof is yet in the |
pudding.

thousand eight hundred and sixty
three, all persons held as slaves
within any State, or designated
part of State, the people whereof
shall be in rebellion against the
United States, shall be thencefOrth
and forever free, and the Execu-
tive Government of the United
States, including the military and
naval officers thereof, will recog-
nize and maintain the freedom of
such persons, or any of them, in
any efforts they may make for
their actual freedom -.
The Proclamation was issued as

ABOVE PROVISIONS.
HAIR-JANUARY, 1855
Hair of the different races are
divided into three classes or the
hair reveals three fundamental
types-the round or leiotrichous,
the oval or cymotrichous and the
fiat or ulotrichous. Round hair is
straight or course-oval hair tends
to be curly-fiat hair is kinky or
woody.
Doctors Newton and Conner, of
Ashley countya Arkansas, in. 1855,
stated that Psychologists are of the
opinion that in the head of the
mulatto there is some Negro hair
and some white hair and from gen.
Grafton to generation the Negro
hair never runs out.
The doctors were also of the
opinion that the Negro hair would
run out before it passed the Sec
ond generation-it may in the third
generation have waves. The doc
tors further stated that the hair
never becomes straight until after
the third descent from the Negro,
from either the fathers or mothers
side.
Of anybody asks about this
columnist's hair, tell them it's
ulotrichous.)

No Appeasement
By Morris Gibbs, Sr.

When the forces of evil
Appear to make their assault,
There can be no appeasement
For evil has itself in thought.
There can be no middle ground
For that is what evil wants,
The world to be wishy-washy
Then easily influence people by
it's taunts.
Wake up, America!
Stand up for democracy,
You birthed and nursed it in in
fancy;
Let it not die because of a Nazi.
America is criticized at home and
abroad,
Worry not what the world
thinks,
AS they're all looking for a saviour
Who'll redeem them from Nazi
tricks.
Americans now can't help but
realize
Many who are pacifsts,
Belong to isms that mean no good
And are breeding places for fifth
columnists.
Don't advocate peace at any price,
Sell your freedom for song,
For if you do, you'll be sorry
AS a Nazi's promise is always
wrong.
This rule of no appeasement
Which advocates of democracy
maintain,
Should be used against all forms
of evil
Then evil would be in disdain.
