Station KICK to
Move Location to
Sidney July ID

SIDNEY Ed Krebsbach, owner
and operator of KICK, Wolf Point
~broadcasting station, and his chief
engineer, Gene Bunker were here
Tuesday stalking out the site for the
tranSmitter and antenna tower
which will be ON the William
Hammes farm about four miles
northeast of Sidney.
Mr.. Krebsbach decided several
months ago to move the station to
Sidney when he canvassed the bus
mess people and found that the
project would be welcomed here.
He took an option On several
acres of the Hammes farm at that
time and planned to dismantle the
plant at Wolf Point and reerect it
on the site without unnecessary
delay. The war and restrictions it
brought held up putting the plan
into execution, until now, the red
tape has been cleared away and
Mr.. Krebsbach has everything in
readiness to move the plant over
here right after July IA.

soak up" purchasing power. The
government could secure revenue
by much easier means than
through war bonds and stamps. 1t
could go into the investment mar
ket and raise ample money at an
interest rate of about 1.9. 1t is
paying 90 on val bonds, simply be-
cause it wishes to get excess pur-
chasing power off the market.
8. Consumer credit regulation. as
credit is reduced, it will also soak
up purchasing power.
Whether these tools will be
enough to halt initiation, in the
face of increasing wages and farm
income, Mr.. Baker said he did not
know. Possibility more drastic steps
may have to taken.
But wouldn't it be silly to spend
a hundred billion dollars to win
the war and then be consumed by
initiation to an empty sheel inside ?"
he asked in conclusion.

Two Main Problems: Winning
War and Averting Initiation

This nation faces two principal
problems today, winning the war
and averting initiation, it was de-
clared by Ronald Baker, former
Glasgow resident and now statisti-
clan for the Federal Reserve bank
of Minneapolis, in a talk to the
Glasgow Kiwanis club at its Thurs
day noon meeting at the Allen cafe.
Vice President Leo Hoffman pre-
sided, with F.. S. Mueller as pro-
gram chairman. A guest of the club
was Fay Baker, Mr.. Bakers father.
Preceding his address. two piano
solos we're played by Richard Lar
son.
We need not fear the same type
of postwar initiation as that which
struck Germany, Russia and Italy
in the last war, Mr.. Baker said.
Our production and resources
should avert that. But we face an
other kind just as serious in its
consequences.
Paid For 1t Last Time
"Ibe type of initiation we under
went in the last World war, when
prices zoomed, can cause just as
many headaches as the other kind"
he declared. He recalled bow ag-
ricultural prices doubled and trebl-
ed. But we paid for that initiation
in the late '20s and most Of the
'30s. That was the depression when
farmers lost their farms and mer-
chants went broke" almost wholly
the result Of the war initiation.
In the last 16 months, prices
have advanced about 80 percent. If
allowed to soar to three or four
times their former status, we will
take 20 to 80 years to work off
the results, he predicted.
The cause of the rise is simply
this: too much purchasing power
for the amount of goods available.
ID there is extra money, it is
certain that people with the money
will bid up the price for scarce
goods. We now have something like
that situation. War production has
made consumer goods scarce;
money is more plentiful. The law
of supply and demand still oper-
ateS.
Income Goes Up
We have had a sharp increase
in national income. In 1929, it was
80 billion dollars. The estimate for
1912 is ia billions. In addition,
bank deposits are now 10 billion,
compared with SIS billion in 1929.
He called such deposit increase
also a stimulant toward initiation.
for what are such deposits X
cept stored purchasing power? If
they are released to turn into goods,
they will increase prices"
Credit expansion is another fact
in initiation. When a merchant
extends a dollar in credit, it has
just the same effect as if a new
dollar bill goes into circulation.
Credit expansion has been the
swiftest in our history the last 20
months.
Another important factor is gov
eminent expenditures. BY Septem-
Der they will reach 6 billions a
month.
I'VE can't increase the amount
CT consumer goods with the war
on, so we must bring down purch-
aSing power" Mr.. Baker declared.
Means To Stop 1t
The government is using several
tools for this purpose. One is price
ceilings, although there is nothing
in them alone to halt initiation.
However, they are important when
used with other means.
Tools" to stop initiation, he said.
are:
l. Taxation. designed not primar-
lily to get revenue but to soak up"
purchasing power.

WHY NOT ALCOHOL FROM GRAIN?

A letter addressed to newspapermen of Montana from tn
office of Sen. B. K. Wheeler is of more than passing interes
to all wheat raising sections.
AS a ranking member of the senate committee on agriculture
and forestry, Senator Wheeler, with several colleagues, ha
introduced a bill to provide an increased supply of rubbe
manufacture from alcohol produced from agricultural or fores
products.
Says the letter, in part:
Practically everyone familiar with it in the senate feels
that the administration officials who control the situation
are determined not to permit the manufacture of alcohol
and rubber from grain. Those in charge of the rubber
program in the reconstruction Finance corporation. the
war production board, and the various other agencies are
men who are connected with the big four" rubber COM
panies IT with the major oil companies. Several hundred
million dollars has been allocated to the oil companies
and to the Union Carbide and Carbon company for the
manufacture of alcohol from oil. Senator Wheeler and
Senator Gillette have pointed out to the departments that
if they would follow their suggestion and make industrial
alcohol from wheat and other surplus grains it would ma
terially aid in solving the crop surplus problem, and they
could build the plants in much less time and with the use
of far smaller quantities of strategic materials. In addition.
according to the expert testimony before the subcommit-
tee, there would be a by-product from the grain which
would be valuable for feeding dairy stock and for fatten-
ing beef cattle"
These r serious charges. No doubt. committee hearings on
the bill will reveal just what the situation is. But every Mon
excess grain has an interest in this measure. There certainly
has been enough buck passing and lodging by the many gov
eminent departments concerned with rubber.

IHNWHI
AMERICA

In thousands of factories and
mines, and on our fertile farms,
millions of workers are giving an
inspiring demonstration of how a
free people can rise to meet a chal-
lenge from forces threatening their
nation.
In most emphatic terms they are
denying the enemy thesis that des-
potic rule is a prerequisite to unity
of effort, willingness to sacrifice and
increased production in time of war.
No slave drivers, no threats of the
firing squad, the concentration
camp oil iron RECOMMENDATION are
needed to spur these millions of
workers to production feats I'M
paralleled in human history.
Round the clock they keep the
machines humming in factories to
meet the 1912 goal of 60, 900 air.
planes, As, 900 tanks, 10000 anti
aircraft guns, 5000, 900 tons of ship
ping, and countless other imple-
ments of war; from dawn to dark
labor carries on on the farms to
produce vastly increased quotas Of
foods of all kinds. They will not
only meet, but exceed the goal of
their own free will for they are in
there pitching in the true American
tradition!
And in 1913 they'll double or
treble these quotas if need be, and
they will be doing it without COM
pulsion . . for this is the Ameri-
a way. They have a job to do,
and they're doing it "a hours a day.
Keep Pitching, America!

new SERVICE POLICY TO BECOME EFFECTIVE AUGUST /, 1912

Wartime conditions compel us to alter III service rules. Tire rtionine and
the difficulty in securing car and truck requirements make it necessary to
eliminate as much driving as possible Experienced employees, who have n
tered military service OF have gone to defense plants, cannot be replaced, so
we have too operate with fewer service men Higher axes and wages and in
creased cost of supplies have added greatly to u cost of doing business.
Daylight saving and business curaiment are reducing our income.
In order to carry on under existing conditions we solicit the cooperation of
our customers. This can be expressed by relieving us of minor service calls.
In the past W e have taken careo of all service calls as o as received, but I'M
der the present conditions it is imperative that calls be limited to those which
are absolutely essential You can also assist us by giving us as much notice
as possible when service is required in order that or service man may take
care of your work while he is in your n~eghborhood.
We expect you to call us for service whenever there is any question a to the
safety OF the operation OF your equipment We will respond to service calls
as promptly as the facilities ar our disposal will permit 1t will also be nece-
say for us to make charges for certain services that W have rendered with
ut charge in the past Charges made for service will be at a cost as low 40
operating conditions will permit.
New rules and regulations covering the handling of service calls will become
effective as of August !, 1912.
We earnestly solicit your cooperation.

What a pity that inscrutable de-
tective was not seated in his high
backed armchair gazing over the low
fender into the CHEEKY fire of sea
Goals when word came that William
Raven had been foully done to death!
Fingerprints? Bah! They would
have meant nothing to Sherlock
Holmes. But he would have noticed
whether the wine was a cheap grade
of port or fancy vintage of sherry,
and how many glasses there were
and how they were set, and where
William Ravens body lay in relation
to the door.
Those things would have told him
that the murderer was, say, middle
aged man weighing nine stone, florid-
faced and left-handed The murder
would have been solved in short
order and Watson, as usual, would
have been astounded. Things are
not the same on Baker street. The
fingerprint era has taken over. No
longer does Holmes draw those SON
orous and melancholy chords from
his violin. Those sounds we hear are
