But the name of Bill Haywood will be spoken by millions of emancipated wage slaves long after the w r onns find sustenance in the putrid brains of the editorial courtisans who are now throwing literary garbage on his grave to please their masters. In the last half century the industrial conflict in America threw up two commanding figures who dedicated their lives to the work of bettering the condition of the amongst whom they lived and moved. Their names were Eugene V. Debs and William I). Haywooti. One was gentle and Christ like—a man who was moved more by love of humanity than anything else. The other was a fighter thrown up by the mining camps of the west whose fierce hat red of the system which enslaved his fellows was the fuel which caused him to face even death itself for the cause he believed in. was underdog •ViAH was an arkwright.

Loth houses of congress have passed resolutions ap Paving government operation of the huge Muscle Shoals power ago passed the Noms resolution project. The senate some time ^_ ____ and the house just last week adopted the Morin resolution. Both resolutions are substantially the same and the differences are be mg adjusted in conference in order that an identical measure may be passed by both houses before* _j adjournment. At the same time that Congress is proceeding to do something along pub lic ownership line the federal trade commission is sticking the harpoon in to the power octopus. Power Trusts' Operations Exposed The investigation into the power trusts] operations by the federal trade commission, it will be remembered, came abozut as a result of a resolu tion by Senator T. J. Walsh of Mon tana, adopted by the senate about two months ago. Senator Walsh attempt ed o have the investigation t conduct ed by a committee of the senate, but by a comparatively small margin the senate voted to entrust this important investigation to the federal trade com mission. The commission as now con stituted is far from progressive and the power senators believed that little harm to their big baby would come from an investigation by the commis sion. But it now appears that things are not going so well for the trust. The commission is really performing bet ter than had been anticipated. Thus far the work of investigation has been wonderfully effective and there have resulted some startling revelations. Power Interests Control Schools It has been shown that the power trust has supplied the public schools with its literature and it has also been shown hat text books favorable to public ownership in use in the pub lic schools and in the state universi ties, state normal schools and other state educational instituions, have been successfully weeded out as a re a Dagmar Co-operative Store Will Increase Capital Stock To Raise Capitalization from Twenty to Fifty Thousand Dol lars. Is One of the Greatest Retail Merchandising Estab lishments in Montana. — g The Farmers Co-operative Association of Damai:, Montana, has just begun proceedings, through its attorney, Howard M. Lewis, of Plentywood, Montana, to increase its capital stock from $20,000 to $50,000; and the Producers News is printing five hundred copies of its amended Articles of Incorporation and amended By Laws. In another column will be found the formal notice for the publication of such corporation, indicating its proposed increase of its capital stock by more than doubling it. Started In Small Way * *- This organization was started in Dagmar in 1917, with a small mem bership, there being only forty or fif ty members. It was originally orga nized as one of the "equity stores" under the "Montana Plan" of the old Equity system. And abo !{JMontana's thing it did was to contribute for the establishment of a wholesale house in Great Falls, which has never, | __ yet, been established. It next pur chased the store of Petersen and Jor gensen at Dagmar. The original cost to the association for this building, with its equipment a £ d j% aS invoiced, was about $10,000; and tor a long time about the first official act of every director was to sign up a personal guamaty of the corpora tion's debts to the extent of about $12,000 to $15,000. A Well Managed Enterprise Originally incorporated for $20,000, with about'two score members, it now owns the second largest store ui northeastern Montana—just a few feet shorter than the largest store m Plentywood; and it now has over two hundred members, and owns two dwelling houses, and other structures, addition to its store building. It uses the old Carl Ruder store building at Dagmar as a warehouse. its growth is characteristic of well-man aged cooperative institutions and is indicative of what any of farm ers' organizations may do when tney operated carefully and well. Buys for Cash and Distributes y Dividends The Farmers Cooperative Associa tion of Dagmar buys for cash, and it discounts all its bills. It sells for caA and all of its members receive trade-dividends to the extent of from six per cent to ten per cent on the amount of their respective purchases. amoui v ^ the institution last $78,000.

D1 _, , , . he Plentywood baseball team defeat ed Scobey at the Herald Ball Park in this city last Sunday by a score of 20 to 4 and again defeated them at Scobey 5 to 3 last Wednesday. Before a huge crowd of fans, from, Plentywood and Sheridan countv and Scobey, the fast Plentywood team un der the management of Jack Becker, smacked the pill all over the lot and ran bases until their tongues hung out as the Scobey ball plavers chased the soaring sphere far out in the fields ln * * all directions, while the Scobey f ans ! who had come down to see their boys take the Plentywood fence busters to cleaning, groaned in anguish all j ! despair For the first two innings all went! well until the Plentywood players no ticed that their new balls which had just been thrown into the game were through the cover with three deep gashes. A protest was made* to the umpire abcui ruining the balls in , this mannei and because the practice of mutilating a bail in this manner is against the rules of baseball. This j was the beginning of the end and the way the Plentywood sluggers landed on the horsehide was nothing short of marvelous. Plentywood made five home runs during the contest. Happy ' Felsch garnered two 3-baggers, cue ; cut 2-bagger and a home -cm out of five times at bat. The last two innings, Meyers re heved Ryan, but was hit hard, not claiming to be a twirler. Clark pitchcu a nice game ior Plei tywood and while touched up for sev eral hits, kept them well scattered, allowing but four runs. Mr. Clark did exceptionally well considering the fact that he had just gotten up from an attack of thç flue a few days previ ous and was not in the best of shape pnysicai y. r . Mp « /xtwI , , . The second game was played at Scobey and was a dherent kind ol r. hb !n .. .i?: "Ph?cf" y <ä strengthened by Seeley, fam ous Ind!an pitcher who was going to pitch for the Mratywood 1team, but f™! arrangem ents fell th rough. The Chief was brought over from Minot by aeroplane m order to be present for the game and the crowd was held awaiting his arrival. The game was full of sensation and interest from fi a ^ a t o 0 , fini ^ h ^ irst S c ° bey being in the lead and then Plen tywood with the score a tie—3 to_3 in the eighth inning. Int he ninth, Bien tywood took advant g of an error by Scobey together wl t bbea 7 , bating to gamer two more sc s and cinch the game. It was one of the hardest fought games ever played on the Scobey dia mond, and encouraged the Scobey fans to think that they still had the mak ings of a team which would defeat the Plentywood All-Stars, when they got organized Scobey has got a good ball club. Their exhibition in this city last Sun day was poor because of the weak ness in the pitcher's box, but the rest of the team showed up to be of extra sood players. With the addition of "Chief" Seeley, the next game with Scobey will probably not be such a walkaway, although Plentywood is still confident of having the best hunch - of players in the Northwest in eluding Scobev. - Rev Calvert returned from a two weeks' trip to Great Falls and other Points in the western part of the state, last Wednesday. -——- » i Williston Rejects Paving Bids N.
