CONTINUING—The Outlook Promoter, The Outlook Optomist, The Dooley Sun, the Antelope Independent, The Sheridan County News, The Pioneer Press and the Sheridan County Farmer. CHARLES E. TAYLOR, Manager P. J. WALLACE, Editor Friday, June 29, 1928 BOOSTERS ARE ADVERTISERS Advertising has lime and again proven its worth to the merchant purchasing space in the local news it has been proven successful by huge con paper. terns in national a«lvertising. Unknown articles have been put on the market, a«lvertised in mediums of large un«l small circulation and in a short time have become popular and well known to the general public. D**spile these well known facts a few of the business men in Plentywood still persist in the belief that ad vertising does not pay in their particular line, wonder how these merchants woubl feel if there were They perhaps would We no newspapers in Plentywood. be the first to say that we have got to have a news hut if a newspaper hatl to subsist on their pat paper, ronage the publbher woubl starve to death. A newspaper fills a v^ry conspicuous niche in life of a community. One of the purposes of this pa per is to a«!vertise Plentywood and Sherblan county. It is doubtful if any merchant in Plentywood woubl deny that any medium which brings people to this city is a boon to 'heir business, no matter what line they may be in. Every fair, circus, ball game, celebration, convention tournament etc. is given free publicity by But who the the local newspaper us a matter of news, gets th«! b«*nefits in dollars and cents when the visitor to Plentywoo«l goes about the city on a shopping tour ami visits the various mercantile houses purchasing supplies. This is where the merchant who refuses to advertise because he thinks it does not pay, takes advantage of the merchant who patronizes his home paper to grub off any business which may come to him through the efforts of the live business man. He is willing to take what the other fellow hands him, provi«led it costs him nothing and will calmly fol«l his hamis behind his back ami inform the newspaper man who solicits his establishment for advertising that it «loes not pay to advertise even after that newspaper has been largely insrumental in bringing the people to the city through advertising the various events. In other words the non-advertising merchant is making a share of his liv ing off the efforts of other business men who are giving time and money to keep an advertising medium In the shape «»f a newspaper in their midst. Of course if you would accuse the non-advertising merchant of taking advantage of the up-todate store keeper's progressive efforts, he would wax indignant. Nevertheless it is a fact, and while, of course, the live merchant gets the bulk of the trade because he lets people know what he has to offer and that he appre ciates their business, the "deu«l" merchant calmly tells the world that it does not pay to ailvertise or cannot afford it even though right at the time, he is deriving bem'fit from the advertising of "others". A live town is based on live business men and Plen tywood is fortunate in having such a class of go-get ters in their mi«lst, but there are still a few who are holding ba«'k on the wheels of progress. To these we say: "Show your spirit! Advertise! BANK ROBBERS AND MINE DISASTERS By SCOTT NEARING, Federated Press 197 coal miners at Mather, Pa., pai«l with their lives for the failure of the coal operators to take ade«juate precautions against mine explosion. Suppose 197 Texas hanks ha«l been robbed! We all know the answer. The Tegas Assn, has offered a reward $5000 for a bank robber, alive or «lead. Vigilantes armed with rifles patrol the towns and if the informa tion from Texas may be believe«! killing "bank rob bers" at $5000 per head has become a prosperous buss ness. Suppose 197 American mine managers were to lose their lives in Nicaragua. We all know the answer. One mine manager was reported kidnaped when two American properties were seized by Sandino. press from coast to coast reported the episode in big type. U. S. marine columns moved into the territory from three different directions. The force of the U. S. government was called into play. As it turned out the mine manager had not been kidnaped after all. Suppose 197 missionaries had been killed by unruly soldiers during the Chinese civil war! We all know the answer. The papers spread streaming headlines across the front page when one missionary loses his life. At Nanking in 1927 a dozen American citizens were in danger on Socony Hill, in the Standard Oil build ings. U. S. war vessels bombarded the city. The whole nation was stirred to fever heat, yet through the entire episode only 2 Americans were killed. Bankers, mine managers and missionaries all belong in the ruling class. If the members of the U. S. rul ing class have learned nothihg else they have learned that "an injury to one is an injury to all". Miners be long in the working class. They are hired help to the rulers. Mine «lisasters are commonplace affairs. In the United States each year more than 2000 miners are killed on the job. Mining is considered a dangerous trade. We are in the habit of paying 2000 lives each year for the coal the United States consumes. Miners do not fight back. Their union is practicing class peace. Thetr leaders are busy explaining that the interests of the mine owner and the mine worker are common interests. If the Pennsylvania miners were as militant and as aggressive as the Texas bankers they would offer $5000 for any mine owner, alive or dead, who has had a fatal explosion in his mine. Would squads of armed miners be permitted to hunt through the towns, picking off mine owners on sight and turning in their carcasses at $6000 per carcass? And if they did? Within a fortnight the leaders of the miners movement would be on their way to the penitentiary and the masses of miners would be look ing straight into the eye of a blanket injunction that would forbid them even to think bad thoughts about the bosses. Things being as they are, the bankers of Texas are ready for their next bank robber, and the miners are ready for their next mine disaster. The With cool weather prevailing and the ground full of moisture, the crops are growing rapidly and the third of July will see Plentywood full of smiling people ready to celebrate the great Independence Day if the weather man stays genial. Plentywood is spreading itself to entertain the visitors. You a^e all welcome. A The Story of the Promotion of :: Brotherhood Banking •• i* 4P i I By John Gabriel Soltis E1NAR JOHNSON He was the cashier of the Pacific Brotherhood In vestment Co.

Merrick pul him where he is now. W. H. TRESLER own image. He was hood Investment Company, the "wrecking crew" but always filling an insconspicu He was their clerk in the office. ous, a minor role. He was employed by Merrick and Company because of their l«*ng association in the "wrecking crew," and is under the spell of Merrick. He is a harmless fellow trying to get along in the world, regardless where he finds himself. He is, of course, regarded by Merrick and Company as a sound proposition from their stand point. Merrick was responsible for his post. JOHN J. RADA He was the bond man of the Pacific Brotherhood In He has had no former connections He held his position by vir vestment Company, with the "wrecking crew. of the fact that he knows nothing about bonds. This made it possible for Cass and Merrick to manipu late the bond «lepartment to suit their own sweet end. Moreover, in case of an eventuality, (and in the bond tue department there are unlimited possibilities) it wou!3 be asy to make Rada the goat, on the theory "that lie duln't know better". In connection with Mr. Ra«ia, it may edify the rail men to know, that in the great shopmen's strike of 1922, when the heroic strikers were resisting the reduc tion of the size of their loaf of bread, Ra«lu scabbed on them in the shops at Marmouth, North Dakota, is, undoubtedly, one phase of labor banking that cer tainly hobls no good to the rail organizations. This MR. George D. Brewer He was the official loud speaker ami bellyho artist for Cass, Merrick ami Company. He preaches the gos pel of "conme on you suckers." He is a member of a rail organization. He became i«lentifie«i with the "wrecking crew" at its birth, to gether with the little Napoleon of Democracy, Waler Thomas Mills, who also knows a thing or two about the formation of fake co-operatives. George D. Brewer has a very colorful political and business history. He was a Socialist for a long time. In fact, he once wrote a brochure on Socialism which was permeated with the ideas of populism. He ex pounded Socialism, to the best of his lights, until we got into the war. Then he quit and landed a soft berth with the "wrecking crew" in North Dakota. Brewer was closely associated with the old Appep : to Reason. His wife as in the circulation department of that paper for a long time. It was George D. Brewer who conducted Eugene V. Debs' tours about the country. He was, for many years, while it was profitable, Debs' advance agent. In 1908 Brewer tour e«l the country with Debs in the historic "Red Special.'' These were the days of cream and honey for the com mercialized agents of the defunct Socialist party. However, in 1920, when Debs was a candidate for presnlent and in the Atlanta penitentiary for his po litical opinions, Brewer deserted Debs as lecturer for the Nonpartisan League in the state of Minnesota, he refused to advocate the candidacy of Debs, undoubtedly because it was disrespecable and unprofitable to do so, and, as he said at the time, "would lose votes for the ticket." Everybody who knows Brewer is cognizant of the fact that he is incapable of sustaining any set of work ing-class political and economic principles; that in this respect he is a chameleon adapting himself to the commercial possibilities of any given workers' move ment. Around 1920 he sold quite a bit of oil stock to farm ers and workers of Minnesota. He had a well located somewhere in Texas. That well has not yet produced anything for the people who put their money into it save the loss of their money, which represented hard toil and family privations to save it. It was this deal that defeated him for congress in 1924, in the state of Minnesota. The farmers and workers were mad about it, to say the least. In 1922 he was an active party to the "balance of power" fraud of A. C. Townley. This was an attempt on the part of Townley to submerge the Farmer-La bor party of Minnesota into the dead Democratic party of that state. He was Townley's "outside man" in this move. But they were blocked in their performance by the Red elements of the state as w ehave noted. Brewer poses on the Pacific Coast as an expert on co-operatives. Well, he most assuredly is, but of certain type of "co-operatives:", as we shall hasten to expense a show; the kind that enriches the few at the of the many. Some time in 1922 he organized, in conjunction with his friends, the "Economy Fuel Company Co-operative" in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This firm was to save the consumers of coal, moeny on their bills, a very praise worthy effort indeed. However, this company was a sucker company for another firm that Geo. D. Brewer organized. It was the "Prairie States Fuel Company dealer in wholesale coal and coke, treasurer of the last company, and a member of the board of directors of the former, companies were situated at the same address: Summer Street, Minneapolis, Minnesota. He left Minneapolis for the Pacific Coast in No vember 1924. It was a response to the call of his fuend H. A. Merrick, who needed Brewer was the Officers of both 905 ■I a man of the ex penence and talents of a Brewer. Merrick and Brew er are platonic friends. Brewer's mission in the organization is to conciliate labor leaders to fixed central bodies of labor, and to swing the state federations of labor for the Cass-Mer nck scheme of things. He was also the look-out post for the gentleman named. It was his duty to keep his finger on the pulse of the labor men, with regard to their moods toward Cass and Merrick in the general evolution of things. He is admiably adapted special kind of "labor work". Because Brewer himself as a "labor man" with exquisite finis, eration ago Brewer would have been to this carries A gen , , traveling med Icine mnn dnving hör«, to , h.ck. He would have entertained the yokels in a royal manner by pulling jack rabbits out of his coat sleeves; dollars out of his mouth and frying eggs bi a hat. He has been performing these very tricks in the bor world only in a modern setting of labor banking and labor politics. ( Continued next week.)

The association estimates that the num her of combined harvester-thresher machines increased mure than 50% between 1926 and 1927 and states that the demand for these machines con «nues strong. Kansas farmers have always led in the use of combines. In 1927 there were 12,782 such machines in the state compare«! with 8,2.6 the previ ous year, an mcreas eof about 55%. But the greatest increase in the use of combines appears in Montana where the farmers were operating 1100 in 1927 compared with 650 in 1926, a gain of 100%.

American investors in their «letermination to exploit Greek work ers at the lowest possible wage. That is imperialism. Today that shot is heard round the world in quicker time than the fam ous shots fired 150 years ago by the embattled farmers of Massachusetts. But the Greek workers are not likely to succeeed in throwing of fthe for eign yoke. In the end they will be suppressed by the minions of Anglo Saxon capitalism. At present it looks as though more than the Greek police might be re quired. The strike may become a general strike of Greek labor, may even involve disaffection in the Greek military forces. The first news of this Greek strike did not get much space in the Amer ican press. Workers in the American Tobacco Co. factories at Kavalla, Greece, struck for higher wages. One employee was killed and several were injured in a clash between strikers and the police. But the latest dispatch makes front York Times under page on the New w caption, Greek Warships Report ed in Mutiny. The dispatch may be exaggerated.

This amount which has been cut from railroad wages would have provided a market for nearly 2 million barrels of flour or more than 60 million pounds of meat. The average railroader earned $146 in March compared with $144 in March 1927 and $141 in March 1928 Eliminating high salaried employees and other whose pay is not reckoned on an hourl" basis, the averages were $189 for March this year, $13« last year and $137 for 1923. The commission shows graphically how the railroads have been speeding up freight carmen. In a chart it trac es month by month from January 1924 to December 1927 the hours worked by these car repair men col lectively per 1000 freight train car miles. As a result of the speeding up shown in this chart the railroads reduced the average number of freight carmen from 91,064 in 1924 to 80,026 in 1927 in spite of consider able increase in traffic. This is typi cal throughout the industry, particu larly in shop work. More production with fewer workers is the rule in rail roading as in manufacture. 1927 also reflects the increasing me chaniaation of agriculture. It shows that sales of farm equipment for use in the United States totaled $390, M8.707 i. « c-M i51,042 in 1926 and $340,271,234 in l.>2o. ihe department says. "Tie large increases in the output of combines and tractors in 1927 over previous years are indications of the trend of agriculture toward the abait don ment of antiquated farm machin ery and the adoption of more modern labor-saving devices. The number of cabines ' *J| - from 5 31 to 11,7( 0 in 1926 and 18,307 in 1327 and the output of, tractors increased from 167,553 in 1925 to, 181,995 in 1926 and 200,504 in 1.6: ».

There are 12 varieties of plow ranging from the 1 horse walking plow up to the 5-disc and larger tractor plow. There are planters for corn, cotton, gain and potatoes. Thee ar ecultivators and weeders ranging from the hand culti vator to the tractor cultivator. Har vesting machinery includes, in addi tion to the combine, grain binders and headers, corn binders and potato dig gers. There are 9 types of machine to prepare crops for market. Altogether there are about 90 sub divisions under which the department compiles the output and sale of. farm e«iuipment.

He said this last blow to the farmers from Coolidge might well prove "the last straw that will bring a third part; Coolidge's method of silently strangling the bill, Norris pointed out, was unfair and cowardly, but it was also characteristic of hardboiled New England political craft. A veto mess age would have required statement of reasons against the bill. A pocket veto required nothing but timidity and evasion of the issue. It would please easy for the republican national com mittee to secure abundant funds for the coming presidential campaign.
