Drouth Survey. The Farm Bureaus of the en - fronts not only Montana, but all of the northwest. At Farm Bur- eau meetings held at Billings, Havre and Lewistown it was the concensus of opinion that if aid was to be extended to those in need of feed, seed and extension credit that immediate action was necessary, no matter from what source this aid must eventually come. In order to present the matter intelligently to those from whom we must secure aid it necessary to have certain definite data, and at the recent .meeting at Lewis- town the County Farm Bureau board was directed to divide the county into districts, with a chair- man in each district to have charge of the survey to be made -*************************************1 T n uun rvrnmiT L nprn uiu DISLOYALTY CHARGE 1 of the farmers in his territory. Cards have been sent out to these chairmen, who are appointing others to assist them in making as complete a survey as possible to secure the desired data. Both business men and farm- ers are asked to lend their co- operation to this survey if aid is desired within their territory. It is not expected that every farmer can be reached, but if a substantial majority are reached an estimate can be made of the balance. In order that this data may soon be available it is urged that it be in the hands of the County Agent as near the 20th of July as possible.

Town- ley and Joseph Gilbert of the Nonpar- tisan league late Saturday night found the defendants guilty of the ((barge of conspiracy to teach disloyalty, in vio- lation of the Minnesota law. The defense asserted that speeches by Townley and Gilbert, at mass meet- ings in Minnesota early in 1918, were not disloyal in their references to the government and prosecution of the war. These speeches were made the basis of the indictment together with circulation of the Nonpartisan league's so-called war program over Tovrnley's signature. During the three week. of the trial the defense has made repeated charges that the case is an outgrowth of ef- forts to injure the Nonpartisan league. Testimony along this line, and also testimony by Representative James M. Baer, and North Dakota state offi- ciate concerning, the loyalty ef Town- ley and the league was excluded by Judge E. C. Dean. The verdict was read by the clerk of court at 1:53 p. m. Neither Town- ley or Gilbert showed any emotion. The Jurors announced that they took two ballots. The first was nine to three for conviction. The second was unanimous_ for conviction. Townley Makes Statetnont. After receiving the verdict, Townley made the following statement: \Judges and lawyers may quibble, but in the court of public opinion the common sense of the people will never approve a ruling that says a man may merely deny he is disloyal and Is for- bidden to prove by constructive testi- mony that he is loyal.\ judge E. C. Dean granted a stay of sentence until Sept. 15, to permit tit. preparation of the court record and the making of motions for a new trial. The two other criminal actions against Gilbert were continued until the January term of court. He was convicted in justice court at Lake - field of unlawful assemblage, sentenc- ed to 90 days in jail and appealed to district court. Both charges are based upon the speech which Gilbert made at Lakefleld January 28, 1918. When Prosecutor E. IL Nicholas completed his argument shortly before 8 o'clock Saturday night in the case of A. C. Townley and Joseph Gilbert. charged with conspiracy to teach dis- loyalty, Townley made a personal plea to the court that he be permitted to argue his own CORO to the jury. Judge Dean denied the request. Townley, after a brief conference with his attorneys, announced that is view of Judge Dean's decision he had decided to rest his case without argu- ment. \I believe that my interests as a citizen and defendant will be best served in this manner unless I can address myself to the jury,\ said Townley. Judge Dean began his charge to the jury at 8:55 p. m. Townley, standing In a crowded courtroom, told the judge that he had dismissed his attorneys; that the co- defendant, Gilbert, had waived the right of further representation by counsel, and that Townley asked for the privilege of speaking on the ground that he felt the Nonpartisan league was on trial. Says Charge Proved. Prosecutor Nicholas spoke nearty four hours before he closed his address to the jury. He charged that the state had proven its conspiracy charge against the two Nonpartisan league leaders through the testimony of wit- nesses who heard various speeches made by the defendants, through evi• denee in the form of league literature, and through the testimony of the state's leading witnesses, one of whom was F. A. Teigen, a former member of the league, who declared that Townley told him in 1917 \we are against this war, but can't afford to advertise it.\ A moment after Nicholas closed his argument. Townley stepped before the court. The president of the Nonparti- san league, an organization which Townley said has more than 250,000 members, had taken off his coat. His suspenders snapped ac he stretched his long arms rind began speaking. --The Auto Dray for hauling. ************0004.0******411 Corn! Cows! Cream! Corn! SEE US FOR Farm Loans Cows!
