Inspector Explains Berry Measurements It seems to be a rather common practice for berry and cherry growers who sell these fruits in bulk or at their home places to use the gallon measure, states R. E. Bancroft, inspector for the Montana department of agricul ture. The gallon as commonly used liquid measure and the Mon tana weights and measures law states: "It shall be unlawful for any person to sell solid substances by liquid measure." Therefore, he said, all persons selling fruit by the liquid gallon violating the law and giving the buyer approximately 14 per cent less fruit than they should receive for four quarts dry mea sure. Berries and cherries should be sold by the standard dry measure quart or by the pound and never by the gallon, he said. is a an Exhibit Shown By Former Resident An oil painting exhibit by Mrs. E. R. Dygert of Sheridan, Wyo., and daughter of Albin Kortes of Red Lodge, is now on display at the Sheridan Electric Co. The display includes a view of the Big Horn mountains, six por traits of married couples and of four children, crochet work and agate jewelry from Wyoming and the Yellowstone valley. These were arranged by Mrs. Marie Avery, instructor of art in the Sheridan schools. % LOOKING 47 AKKAD W by GEORGE S. BENSON President—Marding College Searcy. Arkansas Who May Think? Stopped by a traffic signal while driving in a narrow, busy street few days ago, my ear caught a fa miliar, musical note. Just beyond the sidewalk, through a big, open door, a blacksmith was shaping shoes for a farmer's heavy team. Horns behind me suggested moving along before I had finished looking, but it was an inspiration to watch this workman, so skillful and ener getic. Moving-picture blacksmiths are elderly gentlemen with droopy mus taches, but not this man. He was about 30, clean shaven and active. The tempo of his hammer was live ly. The hopeful picture he unwit tingly posed of post-war America has come to mind several times since. More recently I have been listen ing to men discuss post-war plans that involved moulding public opin ion. Fabricating Sentiment "Knowledge is Power." The words are supposed to have flowed from 016 peQ ol ZfZZf 7° about 300 fears ago, but I think Bacon lifted thls ch ° lce blt h of Zf* 0 ™ S t ol °: " on ; f r ° v t erbs 2 1' 5 ' has t stood the tast oi U Z e : Popular sent ! m can be moulded. No informed per son will deny it. Hitler did it. Na tional leaders do it all the time, consc i 0 usly or unconsciously, for tt / years in China I watched selfish local war lords ex ercise their power over a patient, toiling peasantry. It could be done easily where the great mass of the people were unlearned, as in China, where 80% could neither read nor write. Unlearned masses sometimes rebel, but they usually fail because the energy they exert is not power; only ill-directed force. Common Sense of Most For 156 years the United States has prospered and grown as a re public. This is superior to a democ racy in that it provides for the safe ty and protection of minorities. A democracy places the minority at the mercy of the majority, some times just as heartlessly as a dic tatorship. That is why minorities have retained freedom in Amer ica; why each individual is still free to think for himself. It is impossible to get a corner on a nation's ideas. Every man and woman has a brain and there is only one way to keep them from utilizing these assets to enrich them selves and the whole race, namely, keep 'em ignorant. The American way Is the other way: schooling is free; libraries are everywhere; press and radio prosper keeping people informed. Our people have knowledge and our nation has power. An Offensive Figure A country, whose leaders want the benefit of the best thinking of the whole nation, is on its way up. A nation that confines its thinking and planning to boards and bureaus is on its way down. Central planners rea son thus: "The blacksmith has a head on him, but so does his ham mer. Why bother about either? We will do the thinking and the plan ning." Germany planned for the whole of her people, but her wages were only half as high as American wages In 1939. Russia does governmental planning for all of her people. Wages there were about one-sixth of Amer ican wages in 1939. I am for keep ing our Republic, for 'drawing on the Intelligence of our entire population and for keeping a well and correctly ixxformed public. "Knowledge is Power."
