teen, and vageney, sixteen, children OF
Godoshian's brother, and the uniden-
titled Canadian pilot.
Smuggling Plot.
Government immigration author
tiles and Ecorse police expressed the
belief that the Armenians were be-
ing smuggled into the United States
from Canada This belief was
strengthened when it was learned
that the Armenians had made aprli-
cation to be admitted into this coun-
try a few weeks ago. but due to the
Armenian quota being filled their
application was refused.
The lake steamer was moving down
the river when the accident hap
pened. The rowboat was travelling
without lights and was undistinguish-
able in the dense fog that rei, nung oyer Yer
boat and hurled its occupants INTO
the river. 1t kept on its course
aDparently unaware of the ACCIDENT.
Abedes Godoshian was pulled from
the river by Mike West. a resident OF
a houseboat on the American side of
the river, who heard the frantic cries
of the foundering persons. He went
to their rescue in a motor launch, but
when he reached the scene of the col
lision only Abedes was on top OF the
water. The bodies of the others were
not recovered.
Started MT Midnight.
Ecorse police were notified and Abe
des was taken to a hospital. Ques-
toned by the police, he said the party
of seven left Sandwich, Ont, at mid
night last night and rowed stealthily
up the Canadian side of the river.
Spotting desolate place along the
river, they put out straight ahead
until hit by the steamer.
He said he had bargained with the
Canadian at Windsor for the snug
Cling of his children and his brothers
children into the United States and
was to pay him several thousand
dollars on their safe arrival there.
He said he did not know the name
of the Canadian. Godoshian is being
held for American immigration au-
thorities.

on Germany's threshold. Deprecia-
tion proceeds so rapidly that when
money is collected its purchasing val
ue is only a third or a half of the
days sale.
There are many causes. both ex-
ternal and internal. which are re-
sponsible for the present catastrophe.
They are: Strangulated production
throughout the reich, caused by the
Ruhr invasion and the French seizure
and dumping into Illegal Rhineland
bourses of enormous quantities OF
paper marks; lack of foreign credit
prevailing, because of lack of con-
I fiuence by the outside world in Ger
many'S powers of recuperation under
the circumstances. The result is the
general flight from mark imitation.
The imitation revolves in a vicious
circle. The above named factors
bring about the fall of the marks
value. Prices rise and salaries must
be raised in order to buy the neces-
stiles of life. The printing OF paper
marks in everincreaSing quantities
is necessary in order to pay salaries
The printing itself inevitably causes
new increases in imitation, which in
turn again reacts against the value
of the mark.
The inevitable result is the COM
plete demora4ization OF Germany's
economic life as well as of the peo-
pie in general. Merchants. bankers
and manufacturers must aim at enor-
nous monetary profits in order to
protect themselves against deprecia-
tion. Saving is an impossibility
Money depreciates in your pocket
long before it can be deposited in the
savings bank.
Production Problematic.
Merchandise such as food and other
living necessities are withheld from
the markets until the prices become
eXorbitant. Even so. profits hardly
cover the cost of imports and the
necessary restocking with raw ma
terials. Production becomes more and
more problematic.
Decentralization is visible as an af-
ternath OF war Revolutionary doc
trineS and revolution have greatly
affected discipline. The instinct for
order and for work was formerly in
herent in the German people. But
these terrible times bring forth Spar
tan virtues, too-the spirit of self
sacrifice, Of comradeship, of readiness
to accept unlimited hardships. Deep
patriotism and love for an unfortu-
nate country, the responsibility of the
public to survive, and despair over
prevailing conditions are surely

HOUSE ANXIOUS
TO MEET MOE

After the wrestling match last Sat-
urday evening there was a great deal
Of talk between the spectators of a
match between House and Nels Moe.
Both of the wrestlers are well
known in Plentywood and Sheridan
county. Mr.. House informed re-
porter of the Producers News that he
was very anxious to get a match with
Moe, but that he seemed unable to do
so. He says he has offered to meet
him on any terms, but that the match
always 6zzles out. The last time word
was heard from Mr.. Moe, he offered
to meet Mr.. House if a guarantee Of
so much money would be put up
something like $500.
There is no doubt but match be-
tween these two local men would draw
a packed house and that the .wrestlers
would be well paid for their struggle,
and the public would have the salts
faction of knowing who was the best
man.
It does not cost much to talk but
the wrestling fans are getting tired
of challenges, let's have some real
proposition and get ready for the big
bout.
This paper will be glad to hear from
each of the principals in regard to
this matter, and we viii do all in our
power to make the battle the success
that we know It will be.

CITY COUNCIL HAS
MEETING

The City Council met in regular
session last Monday night.
After reading the minutes one of
the first questions to arise was the
eligibility of Attorney Paul to act as
City Attorney. Apparently Mayor
Grave after much research had found
that the qualifications of city attor-
ney entailed residence in the city for
two years and he questioned Attorney
Paul who was present concerning the
length of time that he had resided in
PlentywoOd. Mr.. Paul answered that
he probably had been here the requir-
ed length of time. At this point AL
derman Nelson arose and asked Mayor
Crave concerning all these questions
about a city attorney. Mr.. Nelson
said Atty. Paul had not been ap-
pointed City Attorney, but had been
engaged by the Council as their legal
advisor for short length of time and
therefore that law did not apply to
him. Mr. Grave by this time being
entirely squelched the dog question
came up. This famous subject was
not discussed at this time being laid
over until the next meeting in order
to give Atty Paul time to present a
written opinion to the City Council.

was not because there was not enough
food in China, but on account Of their
poor traffic system in the south, part
Of China there was plenty of food,
but it could not be transported to the
north where there was starvation. On
one occasion he gave some coins to
some of these starving people, where
upon some soldiers came up and or
dered him to stop the practice. Upon
asking why he was told that what
little it would help did not amount to
anything and it would just prolong
their misery that much longer.
China has very rich soil and if
a few Americans could go over there
with a few tractors and plows and
cultivate the soil some big crops
could be raised but it would be i'm
possible to farm like that there, be-
cause when a Chinaman dies, he is
not buried in grave yard, but some
body goes through a lot of hoI1us
pOkus stuff and then says where he is
to be buried, and in that place he is
buried. Some times it is in the middle
of the road or in a field. He is not
buried in the ground but the casket
is set up on posts about three feet
over the ground and then the dirt is
piled up over him. The country is so
full of these mounds that in a great
many places it would be impossible
to get between them with tractor or
binder, and no one is allowed to dis
turb one of those graves.
The worst thing you can call a
Chinaman is q dirty piece of a dogs
bone.

FIREWORKS BEGIN

The ordinary routine of business
now having been finished, new BUSH
ness was next in order.
Alderman holman put in a motion
to the effect that as long as the city
ordinance was to the effect that the
City Clerk and Magistrate was to be
coupled together that the ordinance
should be complied with. This motion
was seconded and passed and the Of
flee Of City Clerk declared vacant
at the termination of the meeting.
The next question that came up was
in the nature Of a query as to who
was qualified to hold the position and
this brought out the fact that only
two men were qualified for the posi-
ton of City Clerk, they being George
Wheeler and L. S. Olsen. Mayor
Grave was in favor of Mr.. Wheeler
and he was called up on the phone
and the position offered him, but he
positively refused to serve, thus leav-
ing L. S. Olsen with a clear field. This
plainly nettled Mayor Crave who re-
fused to appoint Mr.. Olsen for reasons
best known to himself. Whereupon
Alderman Moe made a motion that L.
S. Olsen be made City Clerk, which
motion was seconded and carried.
Mayor Crave then asked Alderman
Tang to notify Mr. Olson of his ap-
pontment and to procure the neces-
sary bonds and present them to the
City Council for approval at the next
meeting, March 5th.
The extending of the sewer to the
Muddy river was turned over to the
Street and Alley committee for their
consideration and action.
Bills against the city were taken up
at this time and following their dis
pOsal the Council adjourned.

Station W. o. c., Davenport, Ia
DR.. J. B. Palmer, the founder Of the

talk on China. Dr.. Palmer spent six
months in China and Travelled all ov-

nese were once one of the most pros
porous nations in the world and about
5000 years ago they made watches
of which some are running yet. DR..
Palmer said that he had seen one Of
these watches. He also saw a cast
iron ball about Is inches in diameter.
This iron ball was cast in the shape
of the globe, with the different cOun-
tries on it. All the outlines of the
land were quite plain and this casting
was also claimed to be 5000 years
old, which proves that the Chinese
knew the world was round long be-

reason the Chinese fell back into ig-

as last year with the exception of the
contingent fund for which no ar

sufficient in this fund for the next

The next question was in regard to
light over the siren switch and it was
decided that said light was unnneces-

in the room which gave all the light
necessary.
