FRIDAY, Slirlr. 18, 192.1 Hardin Tribune -Herald Supplement FRIDAY, SEPT. 18, 192I BIG SHEEP APPEALS Medicine men of bhe Crow Indians have left Big Sheep in a peck of trouble. The long arm of the white man's law has reached out and desecrated Big Sheep's sacrament % and Big Sheep has appealed his case to the Montana supreme court. When members of the state's highest tribunal return from their vacations and don the black robes of justice, shades of Big Sheep's ancestors will wach the meting out of jus- tice to the Lodge Grass Indian whose redskinned forefathers looked upon the mescal button and its invigorating liquid prod- uct as necessary to the worship of their eternal being. B u t they were wrong, says the white man's law, and Big Sheep is to meet bhe test. According to the , branscript filed with J. Ward Crosby, clerk of the supreme court at Helena, Big Sheep. a Crow Indian, was arrested on the ranch of Austin Stray Calf near Hardin in Big `Horn county, November 9, 1924. Federal agents swear they found a sack containing 50 mescal but- tons in his possession. Ac- cording to the white man's law passed in Montana in 1923 the herb is called peyote (pellote) and is botanically known a s lophophora Williamsi or Agave Americans but is commonly called the mescal button. According to Noah Webster's definition, mescal is either of t w o Mexican plants having rounded stems or joints covered with ribbed tubercles, the tops being called mescal buttons because of their appear- ance. The plapt is used as a stimulant a n d antispasmodic. especially among the Mexican Indians, who also employ it as a mild intoxicant in various cere- monials. Its effect is said to resemble That of Indian hemp. Among the alkaloids extracted from mescal are anhalonine, mescal and pellotine. The in- toxicating drink distilled from the herb is colorless. Befve taking a swig of the beverage the Mexicans usually use their broad sombreros to sweep off a spot soft enough on . which to fall. The white man regards the drink as a concoction of barbed wire, shingle nails, rattlesnakes and carbolic acid. But Big Sheep adruit!ed using the mescal in the worship of God. In the lower court he was fined $10 anti - costs by Judge 0. F. Goddard when County At- torney T. H. Burke prosecuted the case. M. L. Johrk was fore- man of the jury that listened to the strange tale That will now be unfolded before the state supreme court. FARMERS FAILED TO EARN RATE OF INTEREST Washington. ---Farmers of this country failed to earn the pre- vailing rate of interest on their invesbment, according. to an analysis of The agricultural bal- ance sheet by the department of agriculture. The business man figures in- terest charges as part of his fixed expenses, and ill is not in- cluded as \profit.\ The depart- ment says that the farmer re- ceived 4.1 per cent on his in- vestment, while he had to pay 6.4 per cenb on borrowed capital. In round figures the net in- come for the 1924-23 season, the department said, was $2,712000,- 000, compared with $1,882,090,00 0 , for 1923-24. This sum, however, did not go entirely to farmers, as bhey own only 79 per cent of the total capital and pay interest on the balance. The reburn on the fr reners' unincumbered capital for the year was estimated at 4.1 per cent. The department of agriculture says that farmers paid interest on mortgage and other indebted- ness in 1924-25 at the rate of 6.4 and the year before at the rabe of 6.8 per cent. The money lenders, it will be observed, got 2 per cent more for their money than the farmers got for money and labor together. Looking at the agricultural situation, we cannot see such a great improvement has taken place as to materially change the situation of a few years ago. Last year's crops were good and this year's are fair and as a result things appear to be on he upgrade, but we are no wheres near out of the hole into which we dropped in 1920. One year's crops cannot do Mat. If the next year should bring crop reverses or the next, the producer would again be in about as serious a plight as he was in 1921. \Sundown the opening pic- ture at the Liberty theatre, VISA shown in Helena during the state fair at 35 and 50 cents.
