r-1.118011t1ICAl gOr)IS OF MOW VOL. 23 THE WINIFRED TIMES • WINIFRED, MONTANA. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1935. NO. 25 Differing Definitions In a recent address at the University of Georgia, P. S. Ark- wright, President of the Georgia Power Company, said: \Idealis- tically, the theory of socialism says that all should strive for the common good, not for individual gain. That is the ideal, but in practice it works out just the other way. It breaks down charact- er, instead of elevating it, because it destroys reliance on self. The young American colonies would never have conquered the wilder- ness, if they and their leaders had been dominated by the schools of thought which now hold sway.\ The learned Mr. Arkwright completely overlooks the fact that the American colonists were combating the same sort of gree- dy oppression of the working class as faces the common people of today. He overlooks the fact that there were the same vain attempts to tell the common people that democracy would never work, that it was only a beautiful impracticle ideal. Yet, despite all of their self-seeking appeals to reason, democracy did work un- til English bankers lobbied the congress of the United States into demonetizing silver and paved the way for financiers to obtain a strangle hold upon world finance and potentially reduce the working class to a state of slavery. As long as the people are content to listen to false definitions and misrepresentations of socialism and social reform propounded by capitalists, for their own good, they will fail to understand what the socialist advocates, and will shy away from the words \socialist\ and \socialism.\ So long as the people are content to allow industrialists to monopolize national public utilities, which belong intrinsically to each and every citizen of the nation, for the purpose of piling up fortunes out of which eyen they themselves do not realize enjoyment, just so long may the workers also content themselves with a mere subsistance. The socialist asks only that financial autocracy be abolished and that the forgotten ideal of true democracy, which capitalists prate about, be reinstituted within the United States and that all citizens may again enjoy their constitutional rights of \life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.\ Additional Locals Mrs. Effie Brooks and son John of Salt Creek were Winifred vis- itors Tuesday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. John Christen- sen of Fergus visited friends in Winifred Sunday. A. W. Henke and Commission- er R. F. Crajaston were Winifred visitors Sunday from Lewistown. J. C.

HE MUST BE Is your husband a regular attendant at lodge?\ \I wouldn't say that exactly, but he takes a night away from home regular- ly every week for that purpose.\ PLACKSHEEP By Dan Baker When a youngster comes a cropper And he's cutting up a bit, Doing things that aren't proper And don't know when to quit; And you've tried to reason with him, Tried your best to make him see. When a bawling out won't help him, Just try some sympathy. It will bind him closer to you, Than any lock or bar; It will cut and wound him deeper, And it will not leave a scar Think a minute, just remember When you were good at rocking boats, When you liked to cut a caper, And began to feel your \oats.\ Then you grew a wee bit taller, And you learned to hate a shirk, Threw your weight again' the collar And you settled down to work. So don't begrudge him time for playing While his skies are clear and blue, There are long, hard years a -waiting When his playing days are thru. Just turn back the years by dreaming Of the man he is to be; Do some old-time boyish scheming And try some sympathy.

COMMONPLACE True friendship demands that we be always frank and honest with our friends. • • • For the size of the town Wini- fred has done more than its share for the printing induscry by fur- nishing four lineotype men. First there is Norman Olson who oper- ates a machine in a job shop in Minneapolis. Next. Ival Geer, Is a lineotype repair man in the shops of the Billings Gazette. Third, George Reeves, who works in a job shoo in Lodi, California. No. 4 is Madison Turner, pub- lisher of a daily advertising sheet in Brigham City, Utah. • • • In a recent issue of the Demo- crat -News there appeared an art- icle by that illustrious Englihman George Bernard Shaw in which Mr. Shaw defended Italy's con- quest of Ethiopia upon the ground that it would be a means of civ- ilizing the cannabollstic Ethiopi- ans. A pretty and naive excuse for the greedy slaughter of hu- man beings. Seems as though civilized humans ought to be able to find a more civilized means of civilizing uncivilized peoples. • • • All thru the pages of history historians have persisted in glor- ifying military leaders. Bnt I like the way in which Henry Thomas closes his little sketch of the life of Napoleon. He says, in substance: Alexander, died as the result of a drunken debauch at age of 33; Hannibal, forced to suicide by his enemies; Caesar, assassinated on the eve of his greatest triumph; and Napoleon, dying in exile like a caged ani- mal. Those were perhaps the four greatest generals of all his- tory. They brought sorrow and death to countless innocent peo- ple and happiness to nobody --not even themselves. Still historians have tacked \Great\ onto their names. Yes, they certainly were \Great.\ Great butcherers. • • • Tomorrow Steve Sande will bid goodbye to the Winifred post office. I will always remem- ber one bit of courtesy which Mr. Sande extended to me sev- eral years ago. I had purchased some stamps and a money order and had pocketed my change when Steve suggested that he had given me too much money. He took my word for it. Several days later I received a card from him informing me that the cash for that day had checked out okey and adding that he was glad he had not disputed my word, I kept that card for a long while until it was finally lost in a fire. • • • History doesn't record all the heroes. There is still the man who has to buy six pairs of shoes before the children can start to school —Pathfinder J. C. Root of Denton bought a load of Yogo winter wheat seed from Stafford Bros. Martin Dahl bought a new Ford pickup this morning. The new ads for the week will acquaint you with a shoe sale at Reyleck's and a rug sale at The Montana Hardware. Ray Conradson has been en- joying a short vacation from his labors in the Kevin -Sunburst oil district. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Meriek of Great Falls called on friends in Winifred Sunday, Mrs. Merick was formerly Miss Mary Kalafa- tich and at one time lived east of Winifred. Elephants' Tusks Grow Heavy The huge tusks of elephants are Ithown to weigh nearly 200 pounds mak Tete-a-Tete for Three By THAYER WALDO C. laoauro Neeepaser Syndicate WIYU Service. ARIE discovered it at twenty- seven minutes after nine while she was looking under the vaulty table for her slippers. She was still stand- ing there regarding it, itthen someone knocked on the door. She turned slow- ly, drawing the marabou negligee about her, and said, \C The butler opened it, and over his shoulder she could see the dark com- posed face of Roderic Ashe. \Come in and shut the door,\ she said at last. He frowned and nibbled his under lip, asking: \It's—it's perfectly safer' \I thought you'd say that! You al- ways were a scared fool.\ lie stared at her, lips parted in mute astonishment. \Don't stand there gaping,\ she snapped. \You're going to hear a lot more. I've made up my mind to tell you a few things tonight.\ \Hold on,\ he began; \I'm afraid I don't understand—\ \Of course not! You don't under- stand anything—I don't believe you ever have. That's why I'm fed up and sick of you.\ She had backed away as he came forward. Now they stood in the center of the room, between vanity table and bed, facing each other at a distance of three or four feet. Perplexity had given way In his expression to sheer bewilderment. \That's a smart look you're wear- ing,\ Marie told him contemptuously, \but I'm not surprised. I didn't expect You even now to know what I was talking about. You poor sap!\ She turned away with a toss of tier sleek brown head, and sauntered across the room to pluck a cigarette from the case on the mantel. There was silence in that interval, for Aahe found no fur- ther words. \Look at you now—all dolled up like an ambassador! And that's the way you've been every night I've asked you here. A tuxedo and a polite smile and talk, talk, talk. My fl—d, you're dumb! I didn't think anyone in Hollywood could be so dumb about a thing like that.\ lie seemed to sag back In the chair, .but his tone was quiet enough. \Have you,\ he asked, \gone abso- lutely insane, Marie?\ She laughed again, and again it had a forced staccato quality. \That would be all you could see in it,\ she shot back at him; \you're so blind and so stupid I almost feel sorry for you. You know, for a little while right at first I couldn't believe It. I told myself you were pretending not to understand just because you'd al- ways been Peter's best friend. And maybe I was right, but I doubt It. I don't think anyone could be so lily - pure. • \Well all that counts is that I played It straight to you and you either couldn't get the Idea or didn't want to, and now I'm through with you. Through, you hear me? And if you've acted this way out of loyalty to that crippled husband of mine, I hope you feel properly noble. If I ever decide to tell it on you, you're going to be laughed right out of pictures. \Now go away—leave me alone! Of course I'll have to go on seeing you every day at the studio, and playing with you In that silly story of Peter's; but I'm never going to spend another minute with you off the set if I can help it. You're a boob and a flat tire and a big pain in the neck. Get out!\ The final words were almost shout- ed. Marie crumpled her cigarette and flung It into the grate. After a mo- ment Roderic rose, rather deliberately, and made her a brief bow. \I'm told,\ he began, \that riddles are very popular this season, so—\ \Oh shut up and go!\ she broke in swiftly, spinning around to face the walL An instant longer he stood looking at her back, then strode to the door, opened It, and went out without another word. . . . • • Peter North lay quite motionless in the bed, a look of profound emotional disturbance on his thin face. A screened black box stood upon a stand beside him; his secretary gat by the foot of the bed, pencil and notebook In hand. Peter North reached over and snapped a switch on the black vox, then said: \Take a letter please, Miss Allan. To Roderic Ashe, Zenith Studio. \Dear Rod: I've a confession to make that Isn't easily made. Shame stabs me like a knife. I hid a dicto- graph attachment In my wife's room to- night and listened to everything you said. How could I have been such a fool as not to know that If anyone were cheating with me it would he my ungrateful wife hut never you, the finest friend a man ever had! Just the warped creation of a sick man's brain, I suppose. Forgive me and God bless you, old Pal. Peter.\ Turpentine From Pius Trams Turpentine Is obtained from the gun) of pine trees, Fire Strikes Again The dwelling on the Osgood Briery place, five miles south- west from Winifred, and some of the household effects of Mr. and Mrs. John Grant were destroyed by fire Sunday forenoon. Mrs. Grant was busy working Sunday morning when she noticed sparks dropping from the stove pipe hole. She ran outside and looked up to find the roof of the house already in flames. She immedi- ately set to work saving such things as could be moved. Mr. Grant and Andrew Anderson soon arrived and together they succeeded in saving all except the cook stove, cream separator and one bedstead. The house is a total loss. The Grants are liv- ing at the home of John Nelson for the present. Here From Iowa Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Burbridge or Logan, Iowa made a pleasant stay at the J. G.

Bozeman, Sept. 4: The arrange- ment of kitchen furniture and equipment sometimes saves or adds as much as 15 minutes to the time spent in the preparation of a meal, says Miss Oona Stautz extension home management specialist at Montana State col- lege. DEATH OF MRS. WINEGAR Word was received late last week of the death of Mrs. Ciyde Winegar in Los Angeles, Cal. on the 27th of August.

Dreyer returned Monday from Chicago where she was called several weeks ago by the illness of her mother. Young George was with her on the trip and came home with many inter- esting accounts of the good ball games and other sport events he witnessed while away. However, Mrs. Dreyer brought perhaps the most unusual bit of interest: she says that Mr. Dreyer's mother has kept his room exactly as he left it more than twenty years ago. His guns, fishing tackle and other personal effects are still in their same places as though \Hap\ had just stepped out to a show.

Ram Prices Low Bozeman, Sept. 4: I. M. C. Anderson, e x tension livestock specialist at Montana State col- lege, has been visiting the vari- ous purebred sheep ranches in the state asisting in the selection of rams for the Montana Wool- growers Association sales at Bill- ings Sept. 24 and Great Falls, Oct. 3. Mr. Anderson says the low price of rams in the past few years has resulted in some sheepmen marketing their rams as mutton lambs. Therefore, the supply of rams is not as great as in former years, but, judging from those already inspected, the quality is better. The latter of last week Helmer Jackson who presides on the bridge of Al. Stedman's combine had the misfortune to get some steel in his right eye.
