American Jews have a great
share in the developments of the
past year," DR.. Weizmann told
the UJA group, which presented
him with a bronze bust of George
Washington as a gift of the Jew
ish Community of the United
States. "This year we hope that
we will receive 100000 immi-
grants. This is a huge problem
and we need technical help and
assistance"
American aid and assistance
"has been and continues to be in
valuable" the Israeli President
stressed. He added that 1--WE
need not only American money,
but knowledge, technical assis-
lance and expert advice. Send us
some of the good young men who
did a job for you during the
war;" he added.
Replying to Julian B. Venezky,
the Overseas Delegation chair
man, who cited the similar diff
ficulties encountered by the I'm
tied States and Israel in securing
their independence, DR.. Weiz-
mann said that he was thankful
for the sympathy and aid given
Israel by the people and the
government of the United States.
Noting the resemblances be-
tween the establishment Of Is
rael and the U. S., DR.. Weizmann
said that he hoped our future
will resemble that of America. In
the past, the Jews have given
a great document to the world.
We hope again that out of this
small country may come some
thing which will help the world
achieve peace and security, and
which will reflect cerdit on all
Jews"
He expressed the belief that
Israel was on the road to Sett-
ling its difficulties with the A
rabs and that stability in the
Middle East can shortly be
Presenting the bronze head,
Mr.. Venezky said: "The Mayor
of New York entrusted to us this
bust of George Washington, the
first president of the United
States, as a gift to you, the first
President of Israel. We are
struck by the close parallel be-
tween the establishment of Is
rael and the creation of the I'm
tied States. Both were created
under almost impossible condi-
tons. Both countries were bless
ed by the leadership of men in

Two craven little rats attacked
69-year-old grandmother recent
ly at w. 80th st. and 25th Ave.
N. w., Seattle, threw her on the
ground, breaking her leg, and
robbed her of her pocketbook.
Mrs. Anna Larsen, a widowed
old-age pensioner, was the victim.
She lives at s013 Goth Ave. N. w.
and had alighted from the trolley
on oath and 80th about one o'clock
walking toward her home. An old
car drove alongside her, she said
in telling the story in the King
County Hospital where she is re-
covering. She has five children and

her purse containing S..
This one fellow, about 20 years
old, jumped out, put his arm
around my neck and threw me to
the ground" Mrs. Larsen said.
Then he grabbed my purse, but
I had my arm through the strap.
When he yanked it good and hard,
though, he broke the strap. ~
Then he jumped back in the
car with his friend, and they drove
off"
Mrs. Larsen said her left leg
wouldn't respond and she couldn't
get up. She started crying for help
and a woman in a nearby house
came to her aid.
Mrs Larsen, who was returning
from a Norwegian bazaar at the
time of the attack, said she hoped
she wouldn't be in the hospital
more than a week.

Captain Brude one of the last
Of vanishing race of old salts,
won worldwide fame almost over
night in 1904 when he sailed his
18-fOot lifebOat from his hOme-
town of Aalesund, Norway, to the
United States to prove its worth.
Around that lifeboat hinges most
of the story of Brude's life.
AS young sailor-he first went
to sea at the age of 14-Brude
deplored the loss of life at sea.
He thought more seaworthy life
boat than the one in use at the
turn of the century could be devils
ed and he set about to build it.
In 1904 he completed the life
boat, an odd, egg-shaped affair al
most impossible to overturn. While
the world looked on in disbelief he
and three companions sailed it
across the stormy North Atlantic
seas in the winter.
His native country accepted the
novel lifeboat, and some Spanish
merchant ships adopted it. But
no others.
His campaign for acceptance of
his boat unsuccessful, Captain
Brude and the boat gradually
slipped from worldwide promin-
ence. In 1908 he moved to the
United States and sailed out of
New York until 1925 when he left
the sea to work as a representa-
tive for Socony Vacuum Oil Com
pany. In 1915 he retired and
moved to Edmonds.

"Hardrock" Coolidge Says i.
MAJOR Oil COMPANIES
WAGING 'EC0LD WAR"
ON Independents
November 10, 1915

Mr.. Bob Warden
Night Editor
Grett Falls Tribune
Great Falls, Montana
Dear Friend Bob:
Real a clipping in the morning pa
per from your Helena correspondent
with reference to the leasing of state
lands. Wish to add few facts con-
corning the matter so the public will
be informed.
This is part of cold war between
the major oil companies and the in
dependents. Prior to Ford's election
and until several years afterwards,
the land board accepted bids for ac-
reage both in cash and royalty and
the land board decided which was the
best bid for the benefit of the school
children in Montana; but due to high
pressure of the attorneys for the ma
jor companies this ruling was chang
ed, which practically gave the major
companies control of all the state
lands in the state of Montana as it
is well-known fact that the indepen-
dents cannot compete with the major
companies in the bidding for state
lands. For your information, the
State of Wyoming receives a Sc per
cent royalty on Section SO in the
heart of the Salt Greek Field, which
was brought about by competitive
bidding. A royalty on any leased
lands has real cash value and by the
way the royalty companies sell this
royalty it amounts to considerable
and we'll worth the money if THE land
proves productive and the operator
proceeds to develop the land. This
bid was simply made to put it
up to the land board to decide which
bid had the most advantage for the
school children in the State of Mon
tana, as it is a well-known fact that
the major companies are leasing up
blocks of acreage consisting of hum
dreds of thousands of acres which can
not possibly be drilled but are put in
seclusion out of the way of any in
dependent who might want to develop
the land. Very truly yours,
E. B. Coolidge, Great Falls

are losing up to SIS billion themselves
by farm price drops.
Fundamental Needs of People Were
Sidetracked


Farmers have gone on producing
what the country needs, but the drop
in buying power in town has piled
up farm products in the warehouses.
The congress that's so quick to hit
labor, and so slow to protect farm
ers for doing their job well, just
couldn't do anything at all about
this deliberate shutdown of Ameri-
can factories, oilwells, mills and
mines. So farmers must borrow more
money, take out mortgages again,
do without, while millions of Ameri-
cans also do without all the good food
they need. And piling up in the
warehouses are cotton, grains, oil
seeds, eggs, dried fruits and other
products. Many apples and peaches
and other fruits rotted in the orchards
once again. Dairy farmers. took big
cut in income, since city consumers
can't buy as much milk and ice cream
as before. The half billion dollars
dairy farmers lost spelled bigger pro-
fits for the big milk companies.
Look at eggs, one of our best foods.
Consumers can't buy them all at
fair price, so the warehouses are
filled. The government purchased
eggs at total cost to consumers of
around 81 billion for recent years.
Now hog prices are dropping. The
government may have to buy a lot
of pork, and take loss of a quar-
ter billion dollars by next spring.
Present Support Program Doesn't
Make Sense
The stop-gap farm bill passed by
congress won't help that any. If sup
port prices are cut on hogs and eggs,
as they can and probably will be,
then the farmer will take the loss,
through no fault of his own. If gov
eminent supports prices then the
consumer stands the loss. Either
