BUYS BLOOD HOUND
Darling" Is Some "Daisy"-She May
Be Brought to Plentywood to Run
Down the Petty Cash Fund.

Introducing an innovation for this
part of the county, Sheriff P. ]. Ma
cey of Roosevelt county has pur-
chased full blooded hound to use in
connection with his office, says the
Poplar Standard.
The animal was purchased from a
famous breeder in Waterloo, Iowa,
and cost Macy $500. The dog was
purchased by Macy personally, but
will be used in county work tracing
criminals and running down trails.
Just a few days before the dog was
taken away from it's home she pulled
off clever piece of work by run
ming down two people who has robbed
a hardware store in a small town
near Waterloo. The incident caused
quite a sensation. The dog, which
is a female, was put on the scent the
morning after the robbery. 1t was
a hard job, for the scent was cold
but the animal got busy at once and
after racing about the streets of the
town for awhile pulled up at the
home of two middle aged people who
had always been held in the highest
regard. Thinking that the animal
must be wrong she was taken back
to the store and ,starte over the trail
for the second time, but after going
through the same performance she
pulled up at this same house and re-
fused to go any further. The au-
thorities became active after the
second trial and much to their sur
prise finally secured an admission of
guilt from the people whom the dog
had run down.
The animal has a puppy which has
been purchased by Deputy Sheriff
Kirk Kellogg of Wolf Point. Nacey's
new dog answers to the name of
Darling" and seems to be well
trained. She is a little frightened
yet as the result of her long trip
and tugs at the harness whenever
she is exercised. Bloodhounds are
always harnessed to keep them from
getting away from the officers when
they are running down a criminal.
Darling" is one of the sights at
the county seat and the boys in the
Sheriff's Office are very proud Of her.

The town of Scobey will give Off
cial welcome to the home coming OF
our soldiers on June 14th. That was
decided on Wednesday, June 4th, at
meeting of representative business
men and plans are now well under
way to make this event gala day
for Scobey and one long to be remem-
bered by our men in Khaki. June
14th is Flag Day, holiday in itself
and this will lend to the success of
the day. This event will commence
at IL o'clock noon and will last into
the wee small hours of the Sunday
morning following.
Teh idea of giving this celebration
in honor of our soldier boys has been
in the minds of Scobey people all
along, but the matter has been post
poned until this time by reason of
the fact that not all of the boys had
returned. AS matter of fact, there
are a great many Scobey soldiers yet
in camp and in France, but the gen.
eral idea is now that another bigger
and better celebration will have to
be given this coming fall when all of
these men are back, and as that
would be putting the affair off lit
tie too long for those who are al
ready here this celebration for June
14th will take place as planned.
While the program is not what
would be called elabroate, it is as
appropriate as can be put on by a
town of our size. Included in the
program are two or three good
speakers, among which is Hon. Judge
N. Davis of this city. Judge c. E
Conner of Plentywood will probably
be the main speaker of the day and
efforts are also being made to bring

man who enlisted and was commits
stoned, and is now County Surveyor
of the new county of Roosevelt, hal
also been invited to address the gath
ering. The Plentywood band has beer
engaged for the day and will drive VI
in cars that morning.
The program for the afternoon il
as follows.
At IL o'clock noon all men wh'
have been in the service appear a
the city hall and register with Pri
vate Charles P. Hardy. This regis
tration is for the purpose of organi

Thousands of Indians Will Pull off
Big Sun Dance-Fete Will Last a
Week.

There is to be some noise in Pop
lar early in July, says the Poplar
Standard.
While the program for the big
three days celebration on the second,
third and Fourth of that month has
not yet assumed definite shape,
enough is known to make it certain
that there will be amusement and
excitement on tap for all who come.
The arrangements thus far made in
clude dozens of features, including a
monster auto parade, and a series of
auto races, participated in by rae
ing cars of various makes which have
been ordered especially for this oc-
casion. The new mile track is just
about completed and looks so good
that it is now proposed to make it a
permanent institution and hold an an
nual racing meet, and fire WORKS, and
dozens of other things calculated to
make one feel a thrill Of pride in the
belief that he is living in the best
part Of the best nation of the best
world that ever was.
And the Indians will be here also
Their fund for the celebration has
reached such generous proportions
that they propose to make it an al
week affair. They have secured q
large body of land next to the fail
| grounds on which to pitch then
tents, and leaders predict that 1900
to 1000 of them will be here for the
week.
The Indians will cooperate with
their white brethren in the parades
and other affairs, and will also give
entertainment in the way of Indiar
Sun Dances, War Dances, Horse ane
Auto races, etc. In the parades they
will attract much attention by reason
of being attired in old time costumes
With the Indians, as with the
Whites the occasion is more of a Vic
tory celebration than anything else
and it will be the endeavor of all tx
make the returned heroes feel tha
their efforts in behalf of their coun
try are fully appreciated.

CELEBRA-
TON AT POPLAR
PROFITEERING IN FARM
EQUIPMENT EXPLAINED

To sell farm equipment on the basis
of what it would cost the dealer to
replace it, may be considered prof.
teering, according to statement Is
sued by the Office of farm equipment
control of the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
Persons who have sold equipment
at replacement values when costs were
high must continue to do so if prices
go down, even though such sales
bring less than the original cost price
Of the stock. Moreover, those whose
selling price is fixed in relation to high
replacement prices must restock i'm
mediately and carry the same quaint
ty of equipment throughout the high
price period as they had at its begin
ming, in order not to profiteer. Those
who desire to sell ont without replac
ing their stock should not sell at q
prevailing high price, but at cost plus
a fair usual profit.
What Constitutes Hoarding.
1t will be considered boarding Il
manufacturer or dealer holds, con
tracts for, or arranges for more
equipment than the reasonable de
mands of his business require. Deal
ers finding themselves with excess
stock on hand through inadvertenc'
should sell their excess holdings a
cost plus a fair usual profit.
The boarding of farm equipment Il
defined by the act of congress o
August 10, 1917. Manufacturers o
dealers who hoard will be dealt wit
under the terms of this act OF coE
gress and not under the ruling as
replacement values just issued by tn
equipment control Office.

 Ln House Of Representatives
 OUer Road and Utilities Bill

Alabama railroad and public utilities bill which seeks to abolish the present state utilities commission and to ere ate in it's stead a new body with largely increased powers and duties.
 The bill. as originally drawn. gave the new commission Jurisdiction over rates, fares. service, franchise. con- ities companies in the state in so far as the state can regulate them. It took away from the municipalities all power to control or regulate fares or service, or to investigate complaints, where sucn power existed, and vested these in the new commission.
 The bill was amended in the commit tee in several respects, but when it was called up in the house today it met with strenuous opposition, and ad- journment at 4:30 o'clock this after noon is all that saved it from defeat.
 Amendments were offered to several sections. but the one fixing the salaries of the three commissioners and the secretary attracted the greatest atten- tion. The present salaries are $3500 for the president of the utilities commis- sion, and s3000 for each of the two as- sociates, and $2400 for the secretary. The pending bill reappointed the three commissioners, increasing the presi- dents salary to $500 and the two asso- ciates to s5000 each, with the secre- tary's at S3000. The secretary's salary was cut to s2400 without much argu- ment. but amendments reducing the sal ary of the president to $36o0 and the two associates to s3000 each, then to

FOOD NOT STORED
 FOR SPECULATION

Chicago, August Especial )-The great supplies of food now held in stor- age are placed there for use during sea- sonal shortages. according to Louis F. Swift, president of Swift & Co., In com menting today upon the agitation in favor of confiscation of stocks of food. MT. Swift said: Swift & Co. denies that the foodstuffs which it is holding in stor- age have been put there for speculative purposes. Cold storage performs a real economic service not generally appreci- ated by the public. The present system has been evolved by the public demand they want some of this produce through out all the year. That is to say, they do rot want to eat all their eggs in six months and then go without during the remainder of the year.
 If it were not for cold storage much of the perishable food produced during the months of heavy production would be lost because the supply would tenn porarily exceed the demand and prices would fall so low that production would be discouraged. Later without storage stocks to draw from serious shortage of these commodities would occur with resultant high prices. Nobody would benefit from such destruction and con- sumers would pay much higher aver age prices.
 Swift & Go. does not purchase and store goods for speculation, but merely to assure our branchs houses of a supply sufficient to meet the needs of their trade throughout the year

s5000 and s4O00, respectively were not so successful.
 At the time of the adjournment the question of salaries was still being de- bated.
 The pending bill gives the commis- sion supervision over the issuance of securities by utilities corporations and provides that bonds or shares in ex- cess of the money or other property actually invested shall DSt be allowed.
 During the discussion of the bill Birmingham and Jefferson county came in for a greater amount of consider ation than any other community in the state. It appeared at one time during the afternoon that it was purely Bir- mingham measure which led RepreSen- tatve Tompkins of Houston, who fought so hard to retain the coal and iron tonnage tax in the revenue bill few days ago, to state that he didn't think it would be safe for him to gv to Birmingham, that he was in bad odor there and that the press and some Of the Jefferson county members Of the house had made it unsafe for him to

appear in Birmingham. However, he said he wanted to help Birmingham out and for that reason he would support the bill.
 Representatives Arnold and Dickson of Jefferson made speeches in oppo- sition to the bill while Representatives Benners and Hawkins of Jefferson spoke in support of it.
 It was stated during the debate that unless the employees of the Birming ham Railway, Light and Power com pany get an increase in wages they will quit work on September 1, the date of the expiration of their contract with the company.
 Representatives Van de Graaff of Tuscaloosa, Murphree of Etowah, Cli- ett Talladega, and Lynne of Morgan made speeches in favor of the bill while Representative Carnley of Cof- fee opposed it.
 The Dill will come up as unfinished business on the next legislative day.

THE AUCTION OF SOULS' IS DRAMATIC PICTURE OF THE
 MARTYRDOM OF ARMENIA

 REALITY-NOT FICTION
 Up to the present time all film and stage versions of eastern harem ard slave market scenes-even those pro- duceG by the greatest directors sought their inspiration from the stories of the Arabian Nights and from paintings which reproduced the harems and slave markets of thou sand years ago. and which are not true to life in the Twentieth century
 In Auction of Souls the producers have broken with tradition, and .n stage setting, costume and action have reproduced not a conventional Arabian Nights slave market and harem scene but have taken as their models these places as they actually exist today, or did exist before the British entered Constantinonla.

slave in one of these modern Turk ish markets and was later a prisoner in Turkish harem.
 From her own personal experiences. and from the authentic reports from officials of the American and British governments who have seen these things, the scenes have been recon structed. The Armenian girls, like the Circssian and the Georgian. are much more refined and beautiful than the native Turkish girls, and waen the Armenian massacres were renewed in 1916 the Turks made them pre- text for seizing the most beautlful daughters of the Armenian families and forcing them into their harems Those wohm the officials and officers did not keep for their harems they d. lowed to be sold in the slave markets
 UNHAPPY GIRLS SOLD
 Thus it happened that hundreds of these unhappy girls were stood up and sold to the highest bidder, and in many instances there were so many of them, and human life was so cheap. that the price which a girl brought was even less than a single American dol lar. Aurora Mardiganian herself was sold in one of these markets for Sj cents. "Auction of Souls" is not mere ly a story of slave and harem life in the east These things are merely incidents. It is tremendous and dramatic picture of the martyrdom of the entire Armenian nation. through which runs the thread of the personal experiences of the beautiful little IT. veal old girl who was finally rescued from her captors and brought to Amer ica
