In many moderate priced closed cars,

as against the more important quality

Come, make close examination of the

was payment or security for loan.
The scobey bank set up a counter
claim, denying that it was indebted
to the eastern firm and demanding
Judgment for s448.93. Inasmuch as

CITY ELECTION
TAME AFFAIR
Not a Candidates Name on Ballot
Election viii Be Sticter Affair.
TWO ALDERMAN. TO ELECT

The city election which viii occur
IN Plentywood, Monday, april 3rd,
promises to be a very tame affair, it
being an off year, the mayor holding
over.
There are two aldermen to be elect
ed: one to succeed Louis Helm. in
Ward 2, and the other to succeed
Len Rue in Ward One.
No nominations were filed for can
didates with the City Clerk in time
to get the names on the ballot, al
though it is given out, two petitions
were filed for candidates in Ward 2,
this Friday morning, but We're refus-
ed by City Clerk Belanski because
they We're not filed within the time
limit provided by law for the fling
of nominations, so he claimed. The
law provides it is claimed, that petit
tions for nomination must be filed
three days before election day in or
Ter to get the names on the ballot,
However, the last day before election
being. Sunday, it my be that the city
clerk does not figure that the day
could be counted, or perhaps it was
ruled that Friday, Saturday and Sun
day constituted the 8 days and that
the last day for filing fell on Thurs
day which is likely,
Petitions were filed in the Second
Ward for A. S. Ziebarth, first, and
later for Martin Nelson, this morn
ing, both Of which were refused. No
petitions at all were filed for Ward
One.
Sticker Campaign
It now seems that there will be an
othr sicker campaign Monday, when
other candidates will probably devel-
op.
The polling places in Ward One
will be in the Council rooms of the
City Hall, and in Ward 2, in the little
room between Fred Graves clothing
store and Louis Noes barber shop.

were appointed at the last meeting

were sold at par and without expense
whatever to the county, the bonding
company paying all legal expense and
the printing of the bonds. The bonds
run from eleven to twenty years.
John E. Price & Co., who have had
standing bid for the bonds, was
the only bidder and has now started
on the work of attending to all the
legal phases of the issue. This will
make way for the payment of other
warrants by Daniels county, as the
big warrant for more than 100000,
made in favor Of Sheridan county,
was one of the first warrants issued,
and its size blocked the payment of
smaller warrants following, as the
county can only redeem warrants in
order as they are registered.
Out Of the bonds Valley county will
be. paid the sum Of $13,652.70, being

ASTRONOMY AND
OUR WEATHER
By Prof. G. r. Petite

The warm weather that nearly took
the snow off this March, was caused
by the same influence that We had in
February, 1921, the earth passing
between the two great planets: Jupi-
ter and Saturn, but occurring over
one month later this. year. I predict
ed that this would occur something
over month later, and that we would
have more snow and colder weather
after that, all of which is being veri-
fed.
We are already feeling the Mer-
curry influence in fog, and frost,
which will be felt through. most of
April.
The 1st, sth, 18th, 18th and 24th
are centres for storm waves to cross
the u. S. with the 18th and oath as
most likely to develop precipitation.
Snow. may come any time this month.
Although we look for some cold
weather for April and May, we be-
lieve farm operations will start
around the 10th of April, generally
over the Northwest.
We predict rains in the Havre,
Sweet Grass end Great Falls region
this year.

NC LEANS RETURN

the Mclean Farm Near. DooIey.
SAYS MONTANA's BEST. PLACE

Mr. and Mrs. Archie Mclean and
children returned Wednesday morn
ing on the train from California,
where they have made their home for
the past two years.
Mr. and Mrs. Mclean were well
known citizens of the Dooley terri
tory, where Mr.. Mclean farmed sue
cessfully for a number of years. In
the fall of 1919, in order to put the
children at school, Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Lean rented the farm at Dooley and
went to California, where they have
since made their home, Mr.. Mclean
returning each year to Sheridan
county to look after his farming in
terest here.
After travelling considerably over
the west, and after enjoying himself
in California to the utmost during his
sojourn there, Mr.. Mclean, says that
he returns to the farm in Montana to
actually engage in farming again
with real pleasure, knowing that
there is no place that he knows of
where poor man still has a chance
that equals Montana and Sheridan
county. Tines, he says, may be bad
here, but they are SO much worse in
other places, that they seem good
here in comparison.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mclean will soon be
settled at their home on the farm.

Congressman Ramseyer Of Iowa.
who recently introduced a resolution
in Congress calling for action on the.

wool, every honest manufacturer of
Woolen goods, and a majority of the

J. B. Wilson of Wyoming, Vice
President and Secretary Of The Ma
tional Sheep and Wool Bureau If
America, with Offices in Chicago, in
commenting on the action taken by
Congressman Ramseyer said that the
Bureau has received endorsements Of
the Capper-French Truth in Fabric
bill from several hundred organiza-
tions in all parts of the United States,
but that those who profit by the
practice of shoddy's masquerading as
Virgin Wool, under the name of "alI
wool", though small in number are
powerful in influence, and have, hy
raising technical pretexts, been able
to prevent the progress of the bill in
Congress.
Mr.. Wilson stated that the farm
organizations, including the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation, are
pressing hard for the bill's enactment
and that Senator Capper, leader of
the Farm Bloc, has announced that
the Truth in Fabric" bill is second
on the list of those bill on which the
Bloc will urge swift action.

FREIGHT RATES
MUST COME DOWN
Says Rankin-Shippers, Producers
and Consumers Should Help Get
the Reductions That Must Come.
By Montana News Bureau

by montana news bureau
Helena, Montana, March %: De
claring that intrastate freight rates
in Montana are at present more
than the traffic can BEAR" and that
shippers and consumers should bring
combined pressure on the rate-making
body for relief, Attorney General
Wellington D. Rankin discussed the
problem yesterday at the Kiwanis
luncheon at the Placer.
After briefly outlining the work of
several state boards which, Mr.. Ran
kin declares, is becoming more ardu-
Gus as the months go by, and explain
ing that the Montana railroad COM
mission has jurisdiction over intra-
state rates, but not over interstate
tariffs, he gave the appended exam
pies in support of his position:
"1ntrastate rates today On coal are
500 per cent higher than they were
in 1918 on June Oath. The rate from
Bear Creek to Missoula on June "a,
1918, was $2.65 ton; today it is 81
per ton.
'The rate on -four per carload is
42.2 per cent higher than it was on

it is 56 per cent higher than it was
then.
"On wheat and grain products,

weight.
"On coarse grains oats, rye and
corn, it is 1913 per cent higher per
hundred weight
"On livestock-that is,. stock cattle,

at will be readily seen," said Mr..
Rankin, "that in 1918, when condi-
tions wer good and labor was much
higher, the freight rates were much
lower than they are today. Some of
the intrastate rates are so high that
