SHERIDAN COUNTY
REPRESENTATIVES
LEAVEFOR HELENA

This week saw the various repro
sentatives and senators from north
eastern Montana making their way
to the state capital, where they will
spend the next two months making
laws for the people Of the state. We
believe we are right when we say for
the people because it is our honest
belief that northeastern Montana has
never before been represented by as
large number of representatives
who will work for the people and not
the big vested interests of the state
as we have this year.
Wednesday Representative Stoner
left for Helena, going by the way of
Lewistown, where he will transact
some business. He expects to arrive
in Helena Friday morning. Mr..
Stoner goes with the firm determina-
ton of accomplishing something this
session as he was unable to do what
he would liked to have done two years
ago on account of the number of reac-
tionaries pitted against him.
Aage TIL. Larsen of Dagmar left
Friday of this week and will be ready
to go to work at the capital Saturday.
He was accompanied by Mrs. Larsen
and the children. Mr.. Larsen will
make strong member in the lower
house of the legislature for the peo-
pie and the copper crowd will have
another enemy to their taxation sys-
tenn which leaves the farmer to pay
more than his just share. He will be
strong for the Dixon taxation pro-
gram.
Senator Charles E. Taylor left We'd
nesday, accompanied by Mrs. Taylor
and children and Mrs. Claire Stoner
and baby son and daughter Lucille.
Mrs. Stoner remained over a day in
order to go with the Taylor family
as it was necessary for Mr.. Stoner to
go such a round about way to get to
Helena.
A large crowd was at the depot to
see Sheridan county's representatives
off and all will now be looking for the
weekly letter telling US how they do
things in Helena.

the able leadership of Harry De Silva.
Mr.. De Silva has been in Chicago the
past four years and has played in big
companies and also has had instruc-

be hard to find any one in the north
west more qualified to get the best

Nj. De Silva.

will be given Monday New Years.

can be realized at this recital and
dance, the people of this city and of
all of Sheridan county for that matter

band concerts every Saturday night
during the summer months.
Lets all get out and boost for this
worthy cause and have band that
will be an honor and busines asset to

THE BOY AFRAID OF HIS DAD


Bill Jones, who goes to school with me
Is the saddest boy ever see.
He's just so 'fraid he runs away
When all of us fellows want to play
An says he dassent stay about 'f'
Coz if his father found it out
He'd wallop him. An he can't go
With us to see a picture show
On Saturdays, an it's too bad,
But he's afraid to ask his dad.
When he gets his report card, he
Is just as scared as scared can be,
An once I saw him when he cried
Becoz, altho he'd tried an tried
His best, the teacher didn't care
An only marked his spelling fair,
An he told me there'd be fight
When his dad saw his card that night
1t seems to me it's awful bad
To be so frightened of your dad.
My dad amt that way-I can go
An tell him everything I know,
An ask him things, an when he comes
Back home at night he says we're
chums;
An we go out an take a walk,
An all the time he lets me talk.
l amt scared to tell him what
I've done today that l should not,
When | get home Pm always glad
To stay around an play with dad.
Bill Jones, he says, he wishes he
Could have father just like me,
But his dad hasn't time to nlay
An SO he chases him away
An scolds him when he makes noise
An licks him if he breaks his toys,
Sometimes, Bill says, he's got to lie
Or else get whipped. an that is why
1t seems to me it's awful bad
To be frightened of your dad.
