STANLEY BALDWIN
new PREMIER OF
GREAT BRITAIN
CHANCELLOR OF EXCHEQUER
ACCEPTS APPOINTMENT AS
PRIME MINISTER OFFERED
HIM BY KING GEORGE.

London, May 22.- Stanley Baldwin
this afternoon accepted the premier
ship of Great Britain, offered to him
by King George.
Baldwin's period of political expert
ence is one of the shortest among
British statesmen who have attained
the goal of their ambitions, as only
within the last few years has he been
prominent in political circles, and in
only the last few months has he been
a commanding figure.
Baldwin played a comparatively
minor part IN British politics until
the Bonar Law regime. Under Lloyd
George he was a financial secretary
of the treasury and later president of
the board of trade. In recognition of
his financial ability he was named to
the important post Of chancellor OF
the exchequer by Bonar Law.
Possibly the most notable achieve
ment as chancellor of the excheque1
was the negotiation of the war debt
settlement with the United States
when he visited Washington at the
head of the British debt commission
Since laws illness, Baldwin has act
ed as government spokesman IN the
house Of commons. He is 90 years

AUCTION SALE
FOR HOSPITAL

1t is announced that an Auction
Market Day will be held in Plenty
wood on June 10th for t he benefit of
the Sheridan Memorial Hospital The
Hospital has been serving people from
all over the County who are enthusi-
astic in their praise of the good work
done and they with many others have
suggested the Auction Day.
Most everyone has some article of
furniture, machinery, etc, which they
are not using but which is too good
to discard. Some other person can
use and wants that particular article.
By donating such articles and also
other things such as chickens, pigs,
meat, produce, ETC., to the Hospital it
will auction them on that day.
ON ACCREDITED LIST
The hospital is being placed on the
Accredited List by the State, but to
become so it was necessary to proceed
with completing the remaining rooms.
This requires a considerable outlay,
therefore the Auction-Market Day
was suggested.
DAY WILL BE BIG EVENT
The day will be a big event as it is
intended as a Big Social Gathering
and day of recreation. The Ladies of
the Hospital Club will serve Lunches
and Dinner, and there will be enter
tainments such as dancing, helpful
talks on different subjects of interest
More detailed information will be Civ
en- in later issues Of this paper
Everyone should arrange to attend
The spring work will be about com
pleted by that time, and everyone viii
enjoy the Auction, the rest and en-
tertainment. Look over the things
which you can spare for the occasion

can give and that you will attend the

til Health Brings End Short Term; Baldwin Mentioned
Conservative Leader Due to Form New Cabinet-Ead
No Bitter Enemies.


London, May 20.-Andrew Bonar
Law, the prime minister, sent his res
ignation to the king Sunday night,
because of ill-health; he was unable
to present it personality: Thus ends
his brief but eventful administration
and it ends with important and per-
picking problems, particularly Great
Britain's relations with France and
Russia, unsettled.
The king will summon one of the
conservative leaders to form a new
cabinet. It is generally accepted that
MARQUIS Curzon will be the next pre-
mier
The crisis comes upon the govern
nent in the midst of the holiday,
when parliament is dispersed and few
members of the government are in
London.
RESIGNATION PREDICTED
Two days ago, when the result OF
Bonar Laws consultation with ply
sicians in Paris became known, this
end was foreseen, but the country was
not preuared for it and will await de-
velopments with anxiety and regrets
over the untimely dropping of trust
ed pilot.
One consolation. it is generally con-
ceded Bonar Law will have, is that he
has no enemies and that no one viii
withhold from him sympathy. He ac-
cepted his high Office with reluctance
he leaves it among unfeigned regret:
on the part of both supporters anC
opponents.

AUTO THIEVES STEAL BRAND new
BUICK FROM DONALDSON GARAGE
Beautiful New Touring Buick
Six Is Taken From Garage
By Robbers Last Wednes-
day Night.
CAR HAD JUST ARRIVED
Sheriff Salisbury Gives Chase
But Auto Thieves Disap-
pear in Maze\ of Wheel
Tracks.

Wednesday night, at some time af-
ter midnight, the exact time of which
is not known, a new Big Buick Six
Touring car was stolen from the
Donaldson Garage in this city.
1t appears that the robbery was
committed by two men who gained
access to the garage through win
dow facing the street and from the
inside unlocking the end door.
Miss Myrtle Donaldson, an employe
of the Donaldson Garage had re-
turned the evening of 1he robbery
with beautiful machine from Minot,
N. D., to fill an order for a customer.
Mrs. Donaldson arrived in Plenty
wood about nine o'clock and was
greatly fatigued from the long jour
nev. and running the car into the
garage stepped out and left it stand
ing in the same manner as she had
driven it from Minot, not bOthering
to lock- the machine as the garage IS
always kept under lock and key.
Early Thursday morning. Mr.. Don
a1dson. proprietor of the garage, on
opening up his place of business dis
covered that the new car was gone.
He Immediately called up Sheriff
Salisbury's office and that gentleman
got busy, keeping the wires hot with
messages going in all directions.
Sheriff Salisbury leaving the message
sending to his Office force started out
in pursuit of the robbers and got their
tracks as a light rain had fallen dur
! inc the night making a clear trail TO
follow. Accompanied by Mr.. Don
aldson they followed the trail as far
as Crosby, N. D., when on account OF
automobile traffic they lost the trail
and after giving warning along the
line. thew returned to PlentywoOd.
The common belief is that the car
was headed for Minot, as reports
along the line in that direction stated
that a new Buick went by just eating
I up the dust.
A diligent watch is being held fol
the new car and it may yet be recov
cred, although Mr.. Donaldson does
not have much hope for its recovery.
This is a very heavy loss to Mr.
Donaldson as the car was not covered
bv insurance so it is a total casl
loss to him.
It seems that before entering th'
Donaldson Garage, the same men en-
tered the Motor Inn Garage and trie'
to steal the Studebaker Special Six
owned by R. c. Nathe of this city

GET TIME OFF
DURING SUMMER

Only the business districts of the

Saturday afternoon. Carriers were
given a half.holiday with the promise
of a continuance ~ the plan through
out July and August. Beginning In
September the Saturday afternoon
deliveries will be resumed.
Carriers In the business district
will alternate in the deliveries In or
der that business may not be affected
by the change.
There Is a manifest tendency on the
part of the government to lessen the
labors Of its employees and at the same
time pay wages equally as high as
II there were no time of.
Farmers and laborers are about the
only classes who are not allowed Ia
be affected by the vacation insect
The busiest season in the year for
farmers Is in the harvest months,
The prices Of farm products will moi
permit the farmers to pay wages that
will enable them to secure adequate
help, and they are compelled TO work
continuously from daylight TO dark u
gather their crops.
Efforts to stabilize the price OF
farm products are becoming more
strenuous, according to press renorts
The dream of farmers is for S2.0t
wheat and $3.50 corn the year around
with other prices in proportion. This
they declare, will enable them To pay
wages to farm hands and thereby in
crease production.

Trade unionism blooms i'm the soil
of democracy; it droops and often dies
in the soil of autocracy and bureau
cracy.
Italy, where reaction reigns SUI
preme under Mussolini and his black
sbirted hordes, gives the latest demon
stration that autocracy is bad medi-
cine for labor unionism.
Since the Fascist have been in
power, the once strong Italian trade
unions have been losing strength and
there seems little chance that they will
regain their rightful place in the ma
tion's industrial life until the Fascist
are deposed or their rule greatly modi-
fled.
But it was not necessary to wait
for Italy to show that labor unions
thrive under democracy and languish
under autocracy History for the last
hundred years has been demonstrating
that democracy and labor unionism go
hand in hand.
Gerat Britain, where modern trade
unionism began, has been steadily
growing more democratic for a GEN.
tury. With every increase of demo-
carey, the British trade unions have
gained in power and influence.
In the United States, a republic
founded on democratic principles, the
unions have attained numerical
strength second to those of Great Brit
ain and an actual strength and influence
second to none.
France, under the republic, has
seen steady growth of trade union
ism. Belgium, Holland and the Scan
dinavian countries, all democratic de-
spite survival of figure-head kings,
have witnessed continuous growth OF
trade unionism.
In Russia, under the rule of the
Gar and under the rule of the Bolshe-
wiki, the opposite has been the case.
