EDITOR OF THE SCOBEY
SENTINEL ROTTEN EDGED
Citizens Incensed by Article Against
Schools and School Principal.
Building Is Painted and
Labeled "Red."

Dispatches of Friday last coming
from Scobey, the county seat of Dan
iels county, are to the effect that c..
A. Miller, who manages the weekly
Sentinel at that place, met his "Water-
loo" as the result of an article he is
alleged to have written relative to the
schools of that city, and the lady prin-
cipal thereof.
The dispatches state that Citizens
of Scobey, after having real the article
in question, proceeded to the office of
the paper, rotten-egged the editor and
nainted the building with tar, labelling
it "red.' The action, it is stated is the
elimination of feeling engendered
resultant from a series of articles al
legged to have been written on recent
occasions attacking several of the
prominent Scobey business men and
the school and its principal.
The following is an extract from
the article of last issue of the Sentinel
which was directed at the lady princi-
nal of schools, and which is said to he
the immediate cause Of last Fridays
demonstration.
"However. when some self-consti-
tuted censor of views and opinions,
with an eXtravagant idea of her own
accomplishments and importance, with
temper as sweet as a ounce, a sour
and morose disposition, a cynical ma
ture, and with tongue as long as the
moral law and as active as it is vim
|dictive, and so biting and sharp that it
makes even her own name seem appro-
pirate; we saw when such a one as

reached.

MILK RIVER VALLEY GAME
PRESERVE KILLED BY WILSON

Washington, Feb. 3.--President Will
son vetoed today a bill athorizing pat
enting of n acres of public lands in
Montana for game preserve purposes
by the Milk River Valley Gun club.
'1n my opinion" the president said
in his message, "the legislation pro-
posed is not in the public interest"
The president added that he was in
formed that the land in question was
used by game birds as breeding
grounds and he suggested that it be
made a federal bird reservation" in
stead.

The Milk River Valley Gun club has
maintained a clubhouse at Lake Bow

offer the best wild fowl shooting in
Montana aside from the Red Rock

he hopes the people within the area
Of the picture industry will use neu-

Darker shades are more agreeable

they photograph better, in addition to
blending with the natural colors Of
the landscape"
All-white houses are also hard on

IN FIGHT FOR CIVIC BEAUTY
Commercial interests of Kansas City
Unite for War on BiIiboards
on Boulevards.

The commercial interests of Kansas
City have gone on record as enemies
of the "uglies."
The city planning and public build
ings committee Of the chamber of COM
merce adopted resolution, taking a
definite stand against "the encroach-
ment of either filling stations or bill
boards on the city's boulevards and
homes"
The resolution stated that the cham
Der members are heartily in accord
with and desire to lend their moral
support to the joint resolution of the
two houses of the council to the effect
that filling stations and billhoards
should not be permitted to destroy the
effect of Kansas City's boulevard sys-
TEN.
After protracted discussion the
committee declared in favor of 80
cal option" on the uglies. BY that
was meant that each neighborhood be
permitted to decide whether billboards
or Mling stations should be allowed to
locate in>.that vicinity. The residents
whose homes are within view, or with
in close proximity of the ugly, should
have voice in denying or permitting
its location, the committee members
believed.
Billboards in certain localities are
not Objectionable If properly con-
structed and lighted. In the opinion of
the coMnitteemen. But their place is
not in residence neighborhoods or on
