There is already more manufacturing

Several years ago a corporation was
formed known as the Sentinel Butte

time has grown till its plant and stock
represents an investment OF over $780,

How to get the play ground is OF
course a question that is immediately
raised when this needed facility is
proposed. In many communities

Many institutions that have been

o., Every movement designed for the
common benefit of all citizens ought
10 be supported by the people them
selves. Consequently the playground
should be paid for by a fund made up
of the numerous small contributions
of Individual citizens, including if pos
sible the young people themselves.
Some towns have conducted carni
yais and street fairs to raise funds fol

doubtless would serve in many com
