CONG. CHURCH HOLDS
ANNUAL MEETING

Last Friday eve the members and
friends of the Congregational church
met IN large numbers for the Annual
church meeting. The business reports
were fairly satisfactory, except the
report of the Ladies' Aid which should
be classed as no less than marvellous.
In frank justice to all it must be said
that the ladies have carried the bur
den Of the Church, financially and 9TH
erWlse, through the crisis of the past.
having brought in a total of over
$1,000 this year; but thank God the
community of PlentyWoOd has wonder
fully responded to the big challenge
of the Church and this years story
will have a different ring. Perhaps
the only darkening shadow of the ev-
enlng was the report of a $500 deficit
accumulating for over year past.
Along with the business reports a
tlne program was enjoyed. A semi
humorous, serious recitation by Ray
mond Erickson gave an excellent set
ting for the whole evening. Misses
Halle and Frances Wheeler sang two
beautiful duets which were greatly an
preciated by all. A short serious talk
on the need of more religious educa-
tion and training in the home was
given by Miss Jeanette Jordan. The
last but by no means the least en-
Joyed number on the program was a
reading, "The Deacon's Work" read
by Mr.. Paul Babcock.
After the business session and pro-
gram all gathered in the basement to
partake of dOughnuts and coffee and
there for the next hour, the entertain
ment committee, with we'll planned
and selected games, helped all from
the least to the greatest to through
ly enjoy the social hour. At the
height of the fun the games were
stopped, the newly elected church Off
GERS were announced after which all
departed with the expressed feeling
that 1t was good to be there. ONLY
sorry you weren't there for we missed
you.
The new officers elected are:
DeacOns-Geo. E. Bolster and Geo.
MunsOn.
Clerk-Mrs. L. G. Zeidler.
Treasurer-Wm. Ewing. u
Music Co.-Organist, Miss Hines.

.STONER ASKS
CAR INVESTIGATION
Rep. Clair StOner of Sheridan County
Introduces Bill to Prevent Repeti-
ton of Car Shortage, in Lower
HOuse-Sen. Taylor Introduces
Same Kind of Measure in Senate.

Congress is asked to pass legisla-
ton which will prevent a repetition
of the railway car shortage and furth-
er to investigate the lack of cars in
Montana during the past fall in House
Joint Memorial No. by Clair StOner
of this county. The resolution intro
duced Friday, asserts that the farm
ers of the state suffered severe losses
because the railways were unable to
supply cars to move farm crops to the
markets. 1t is recited in the memori-
al that western railways deny lack of
cars was due to them and shift the
blame to eastern roads. StOner asks
that congress investigate the car
shortage and urges also that congress
fix a minimum price for wheat and
stabilize the price of farm products as
far as is possible. Members of Con-
gress from Montana will be furnished
copies of the memorial and will be
asked to work for the carrying out
of the provisions of the petition.
Taylor Introduces Like Bill
At approximately the same time as
the StOner Bill came up in the lower
house a similar bill came up in the
Senate, being sponsored by Taylor of
this county.

Studeb aker is
Winner of Hard
Yosemite Race

For the third year in succession
the honor of being first to enter the
Yosemite Valley las been won by
Studebaker.
One hour after the bells and whis-
ties Of the cities ushered in the New
Year, the honors were conferred on
a Studebaker Big Six at the office
of the Chief Ranger in Yosemite
Village.
Details of the thrilling dash from
the Pacific coast over the suow-coV-
cred Sierras have Just been received
here, and report the fact that the
second ear of the year to reach the
valley also was Studebaker, which
followed close upon the winner.
Both cars smashed all previous speed
records, making the run III two days,
whereas the time required in til"
past ranged from three days to sew
cral weeks.
Ii was ! a. III. on January | when
II. NJ. Gregory and w. l.. Stockin-
ger of San Francisco, appeared at

NIT of the year awarded to the car
that first enters the valley under it's
own power over any of the roads
from the coast. Hardly had the

"Touring across the United States

of the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce. Hundreds OF such
trips are made each year.

York to San Francisco by motor ear
with no moro risk than if he were
to start to Bridgeport or Philadel-
phia.
% 0lo not mean that the ycst of
adventure has been lost from such
an enterprise. For with the ever
changing vistas which such trip
affords the spirit of the far journey
will never be lost.
"All day long there are good
roads and pleasant scenes. Ade-
quate hotels are almost everywhere
and greatly growing in number.
"The possibilities Of such trip
and hundreds of others like it are Il
striking commentary on the remark
able growth of good roads in the
United States in the last decade. No
development in our national life has
been more important or more aston
ishing in its scope and growth. Ten
years ago a system of national good
roads was q dream.
In 1923, the Improvement Of our
highways will reach new high totals.
This development of permanent
roads will probably be limited only
by the amount of road bunlding ma
teri;,l available.
In 1922 many great construction
projects were delayed because ship
ments of material were blocked or
the work started too Late.
"The good roads idea itself is
universal. State after state has vot-
ed large sums for the construction of
highways on a systematized plan.
"We hear periodically Of the cost
of roads. Most often this is from
men who have not considered the
asset side of the ledger. Roads in
crease wealth. A community with
good roads does not become impover-
ishcd because of them. 1t is en-
riched.

Pupils Getting
Wise to 'Innards'
of Cars, is Claim

Returning from attending mum.
Der of automobile shows including
tho two great national shows ar
New York and Chicago, Jay w. Dun
ivan, manager OF distribution of the
Cadillac Motor Car company was i'm
pressed with the knowledge of auto
mobiles shown by visitors at these
exhibitions.
"Thc most interesting thing to
observe is the fact that the public
IS 50 motor-wise, said Mr.. Duni-
van. Often you will see visitors
at-thesc shows, particularly men vis
itors, explain to friends the new fea-
lures of the ears on display. Often
these men know as much about these
new features as do the salcsncn at
the booths.
:" This knowledge of automobiles
extends to the interior mechanisms
as well "a the more apparent out
side features. AS Il result the auto
mobile dealer OF the coming wear
will have to sell real value as never
before.
"It has been estimated that 90
per cent of purchasers Of ears dur.
ing 1928 will be persons who al
ready own them, who will get their
new ears on a trade-in. This is a
fact. As the motoring
public becomes more motorwise it
realizes the genuine economy of buy
ing a car Of the very highest grade
of mechanical perfection.

Whatever may be the criticism di-
rcctcd at the new tariff la~> by i'm
porters in certain fields, from in
formation gathered by an expert in

stone company, it is evident that as
applying to the automotive industry
American manufacturers are very
we'll satisfied.
1t is pointed out by J. Walter
Drake, chairman of foreign trade
committee of the National Chamber
of Commerce, that if reciprocity for
the % per cent duty now imposed
by the United States was not ac-
corded by other manufacturing ma
items this amount can. under the

Germany has practiceo 'volun-
tary default; this is the unanimous
finding Of the reparations commits
sion. The next step which France
deems necessary and which certainly
legal is to take possession of Ger.
tain negotiable assets of Germany,
which may produce funds to meet the
defaulted payments and at the same
time serve as security against further
defaults. The French advance into
the Ruhr valley may be designated in
several ways, but not as an act of
wal o as a lawless procedure. It
signifies simply tho process of levy
ing on the property Of a delinquent
debtor.
Americans who want to get a fair
understanding of the issue need not
succumb to the prejudiced propa-
ganda which represents France as a
rapacious foe of peace and justice.
for there are publications in this
country that persist in stating the
facts as they are. The Outlook,
which would hardly be classified as
an ryan Of miiitarism. recently put
the case with pungent force:
