! The western woolgrowers are
! making a hard fight fcfr the ex
istence of thav. industry now at
tacked on ail sides.
Besides the government dump
ing large holdings on the market
the bars are let down for enor
mous importations.
This imported wool is produced
by the cheap labor of Argentine,
all the latin-American countries,
Australia and new Zealand.
Without embargoes and import
duties to put them on a level
with this unfair competition the
days of the wool industry are
numbered. .
The woolgrowers do not want;
government control or ownership '
of marketing facilities of of the
sheep and cattle industry as pro
posed.
The government asked the gen
eral public to conserve wool dur
ing tiie war and to use all kinds
of substitutes for woolens.
By the same tokeij the- wool
growers now -sk the government
to demand by that substitu
tion cease unless properly labelled
Tftey demand that there be a
stop to increasing game preser
ves as wool and meat are more
necessary than propagation of
wild game.
Sheep and woolgrowers further
demand that property be no
longer assessed on the war basis
of war valuations. s

The Farmers’ Educational and
\ r Union has been in
session at Spokane. t
ims union which operates 235
warehouses and elevators empha
sizes the fine work of the farm
ers’ union in building and opera
ting grain warehouses and eleva
tors and illustrates the advant
age of co-operation A against so
cialism. Under the parenrorgan
izalion are subsidiary companies
\ that operate warehouses and ele;
i vators. They handle on anaver
|Hge about three-fourths of the
j grain coming to the points where
I these elevators are maintained.
I While some of these sulisidiaries
I are co: potations, ail are operated
i under the co-operative plan and
i have distribution of profits.
th-ewd Ben Frankfinonce said
that "God helps those that help
themselves.” The farmers can
best help themselves thru wisely
directed co-operation' The state
and federal government can,help
but canno.l do it all, and there are
many undertakings that thegov
etnment cannot perform half so
well as farmers and others can
perform for themselves by joit.-
i ig 1 a ids and pul'ing together.
The success of the Farmers’
Co-operative Union in Washing; •
ton, Idaho, Montana, and other
states makes them slow to take
up the Non Partisan League plan
of state and federal ownership in j
place of co-operation which is
self-help instead of socialism and ;
us ultimate confiscation of prop
erty and destruction of individu- .
al rights.

A Fine Victory Letter
Somewhere in France
Nov. 24, 1913
! Dear Dad —I in the ‘'Stars
i #i(l Stripes” where November 24
| had been set its a day for all sol
diers of the A E l'\ to Write to
I'tieir Dad. Their first Company
'Commander. No niiitter how
j hiivr wpII wo like our Captain,
j Ae still yfilin', you as the best
commando, ki evi r Irail nrfll I
! look forwaTt! to the day when
! can jret-mv feet u ider your tab
lie again. Here tol'ore I have al
1 ways written to the folks in gen
era!. Cut this is to you personally
it is your only Xmas present.
Mother told me in her last let
ter about you and the otjier men
that were not able ti come to
Krhnce, going-over the top at
Watertown in the big Liberty
Loan Drive. We too, were going
over the top at about the same
time. We were on the Argonne
Front north of Verdun from
September 25th to October 19th,
busting the Hmdenberg Line at
its hardest point, and that is
quite a co-ln-cident, for us to go
over the top at the same time
and for the ssme good cause. . I
will tell you some things about
; our part in the Argonne drive,
■ then I’ll tell you briefly about the
rest of my sojourn in France.
On September 25th we were in
a camp about 10 miles from the
front In the evening we fell in
with full packs, rifles, ammuni
tion and a tool or tw) apiece. We
were off on a hike for the front.
It was" dark and rainy and the
roads were bad in places, but it
was an ideal night to go to the
front, for one felt safe.from areo
plane raids. We made the hike
oretty good and fell out in a fit Id
just back of our front line of ar
tillery. Our guns were popping
now and then, probably about
1 kethey had beendoing for three
years. The Germans were not
sending many shells back. Oat
troops were pouring in to Le
rtftdy for the big drive in the
morning. We fell out there at'
eleven o’clock for two houas rest I
We were wet with sweat and
from the mud, we were
soon shivering from the cold, but
we all made the best we cou d
out of it. Most of us rolled up
in cur blankets and got a little
sleep. Our rest was soon over
and we were going again. We
lef„ our blanket roli in a pile and
got some bridges and material to
carry our barrage, sta. ted at 2
o’clock and then the zero hour
was to be at five o’clock.
I bet th£ Germans thought
hell had loose then for it (
sourded like all'the guns in the
wor.d were tiring and one could
hardly keep on his feet. Well
we went on and on. stopping at
places to build the road. About
9 o’clock the Germans gave uta
shelling that I will long remem
ber. We were allowed to take
cover and only a few got killed,
but several got wounded. We
got the bridges in place by not n
and soon bad the road opened.
It is too long a story to tell every ■
thing that happened in the 24
days, but we were at it t very day
and some of the nights. We were
just behind our Dough boys nil
'the time, keeping the rotdsup.
building barbed wire entangle
menst. etc sleeping-in holes in
. the ground ann getting t-helled.
When we were reletved we had
five days hiking to a rest camp.
!
i When we came over to France. I
we landed at Bordeaux, then >we j
; went on the train toCailais. then i
to Sumer tend next to' Wei I h *m j
We were there until about Jul.vS
| Then we wert to Grutes. on. the 1
Marne, near Chateau Thierry,
land w re there until , July Gth.
| Took Dart in the big drive at Cha-*!
teau Thierry from the middle of
I July until the middle of Ahigust.
When we were telieved we went
to Arkval. south of Vefdnn, for
a rest, then to Harper-file, then
to lb" frep. S’Pta’n
•tipr 10 b. for that drive, but did
■ not do' much in that drive
I Then we went to 'tie . Verdun
sfc’or, and I have told you what
we none there. Wh have been
all over France on foot and are

According to the papers the
Huns have accepted the new ar
mistice terms. Germans are told
to sign up pact or Iroeps will
move. We hope the Allies will
see that their terms are lived up
to strictly.
