On days on which the plant is shut

nasium open from 1:30 to 4 in the
afternoon for the general use of the
members, either active or associate.
On Saturday, New Years Eve,
there will be big ball, held in the
gymnasium, which bids fair to be
the best dance ever held in Wash
burn. The Social Committee, chair
man of which is Oscar E.. Olson, has
been working hard on the arrange
ments for some time past, and has
left nothing undone to make the even
| ing an enjoyable one for all present.
A big treat is promised in the way
of decorations; there is no point in
spelling the effect by telling all about
| it here, but just as an advance taste,
we are empowered to state that our
old friend Tony Major will be be-
hind the bar, dressed in the conven-
tional white apron, and sliding them
across with the same speed as of
yore. Bring your own imagination!
There will be five-piece orchestra
and poppy music is guaranteed. Re-
lfreshments will be served, and there
Twill be all the little extras which
put New Years ball in a class by
itself.
| Admission will be by invitation
only, and the invitations will be col
lected at the door. As is usual at
Club functions, members will be al
lowed to bring CUES 8. The charge
will be such as to defray the expense
of the evening.
On Friday evening, Dec. 80, the
High School basketball team will be
lseen in action for the first time this
year, when they take on the Badger
Club. The Badgers include mem
bers of last years High School and
tY. M. G. A. teams, and should be
capable of putting on good exhibi-
ton. The High School has only
lone varsity veteran in the lineup
but has been rounding into form fast
and a good game is assured.

Fair Weather
Starts Farnliuq

With fair weather prevailing sew
eral days the past week, conditions
became right for plowing and disc
cling and farmers everywhere over
the county engaged themselves in
these their first spring activities.
BY the first of the week the frost
had almost disappeared from the
ground everywhere and with an alb
sence of rain or snow the conditions
were soon favorable for turning the
ground.
While the snow this past winter
has been below normal. the ground
is wet for depth of six to eight
inches and those doing their early
plowing will conserve the rains that
son.
One farmer in Broadus the past
week declared he was going to put
in everything possible this year even
though others had planned to de-
crease production. There's one
thing certain" said this farmer ''if
nothing is planted, the ground will
yield nothing, and there's always
sure to be a crop and this year be-
lieve will be bumper one. OF
course the prices are uncertain for
us but with the readjustment going
ON our products will bring their
worth this year and then besides we
all should raise everything we can
and hold something in reserve for the
off year that comes after prosperous
seasons. You bet. I'm going to do
my bit this year for I have the seed,
the horse power and my own TIME.
And then again II raise good crop

their winters solitude and did not

youths. They remained in the

few took fight. The birds, hardly

MILES CITY TIME RECEIVED
OVER LONG DISTANCE LINE

a very acceptable innovation has
been started in Broadus whereby the
correct time every day is received
over the long-dis,ance phone line
from Miles City by the Reliable
Drug store and the local people are
thus kept informed of the correct
time by regulator in the store
window. Heretofore watches and
clocks in Broadus have been at some
variance. sometimes differing over
an hour.
