At the end of World War l, I'M

a dangerous possibility both in Ger
many and France with it's far-reach-
ing political implications. The prob
lem was to fnid work for the demo
bilized troops while the country's fl
nances were at their lowest ebb, so
it was no great surprise to witness
the industrial magnates Of France and
Germany to arrive at mutual under
standing that the war industries of
both countries must be pushed to the
| limit rather than discontinued even
though they well knew it would even
tually lead to war or bankruptcy. This
was the only course open as far as
they could see for full employment
and a check against bolshevism sure
to develop in a period of unemploy.

While France put her main Deepen
dence on stationary and costly Magi-

a less costly but more elastic Sieg-

expenditures brought no fixed income
on the contrary brought an unbear-
able burden on both countries with
the heaviest load on the backs of Ia

in social unrest.
The unholy Germany triumvirate-
the wealthy land-owning Junkers, the
Prussia military officers and the in

works-saw a chance to kill two birds
with but one stone: Destroy union la
Dor, balance the books and rise to
power in new war and thus make it
a paying business.
TO deceive the people and hide their
detectives they found it expedient to
use Hitler and his nazi gang as
front to draw popular support, think
ing they could drop him when conven-
lent, not knowing they had created a
Frankenstein monster destined to de-
stroy them all with himself. They had
their collaborators in France liquidat-

were rotting in the Maginot line.
In the meantime the German high
command was staging a fake assault
on the Maginot line while perfecting
It's secret weapons and training its
growing army for its grand march
through Europe.
The triumvirate was quite success

1944-45 year was 1898 eggs and labor
income per hen averaged S3.42.
Several factors contributed to this
high production and income, Miss
Cushman said. One was the favorable
relationship between feed prices and
egg prices. Other factors were better
management on the part of producers,
especially in culling their flocks of
poor producing hens, and the use of
higher quality laying stock. Prices for
old hens were good during the year
with the result that poultry growers
were more inclined to remove non
layers from their flocks.
The yearly summary of the demon
stration farms reveals that Mrs. Clyde
Schreckendgust of Ravalli County had
the top producing flock of more than
100 birds with an average of 1854 eggs
per hen. High flock among those of
less than 100 hens was that of Mrs.

The fact that the National Associa-

their corrupting propaganda campaign
for years is an indication that it has
satisfactory results; otherwise it
would cease. Reader, are you one of
the many who are being misled into
supporting or opposing some public
measure because of false propaganda?
Watch the propaganda you read or

for yourself who is to benefit by it.
Don't swallow it because it looks

the court prepared by Justice Albert
H. Angstman.
Held: In an appeal from certain
portions of an order allowing, approx
ing and settling the final account of
an administrative it was held:
l. That the administratrix was JUS
titled under the circumstances in pay
ing of real estate mortgage after
the time for presenting claims had ex-
pired and when no claim had been pre-
scented, in view of sections 1914 and
1929, R. c., since the debt was justly
due, was paid in good faith, and the
estate was solvent;
2. That the administrative could
amplify her final account so as to
show mistake in the description of

stock which had been confirmed by
the court. The order appealed from

Held: Alva Aleksich sought to re-
cover under an insurance policy issued
by defendant to her uncle who died
as the result of an accident. The ques-
ton was whether the policy provided
for death benefits. The Supreme
Court held that the term of the pol
