JOE DOLIN NOW
.FLEECING THE CITY
Members OF the City Council Claim
That DOlin Is Not Living Up to His
COntract-Can't Get By With
Printer on the Council.

Last Monday evening when the City
Council met, among other matters
brought up was the question of city
printing.
Mr.. C. S. Nelson, who is member
of the City Council and also publisher
of the Plentywood Herald presented
a bill from Dolin on which several
claims were filed. At the beginning
of this claim sheet, Mr.. Dolin had
taken his so per cent off code as per
contract, but as the claims begin to
near the end, either Mr.. Dolin's hand
got weary or he forgot to add 80 per
cent off and was charging a big
price for the printing. Mr.. Nelson
had the same day interviewed Mr..
Moore as to the price on different ar
ticles without his knowing the reason
why he wanted the prices and they
way below prices which Joe was
charging on articles on which there
was supposed to be 80 per cent of
code price.
OF course Mr.. Dolin will use his old
defense that the articles mentioned
were not exactly like those in the
code and thereby gives him a right I'd
hook the city if he wishes.
AS a result of this Investigation
when Mayor Crave suggested that
they print the curfew ordinance it was
promptly turned down because they
did not care to pay two prices fol
having the same printed.
The city printing will probably be
a small matter from now on, as Joe
can fool some of the people all the
time but he can't fool all of the peo-
pie all of the time.

OLD TYNE DANCE
SATURDAY, JAN. 20

One of the biggest dances Of the
winter will be given by the local post
Of the American Legion at the Or
pheum Theatre in Plentywood on Sat
urday, January 10th.
The Legion boys put on a Lyecum
course and for some reason or other
the entertainments have not been
patrOnized as we'll as expected and
the local post is in the red about $500.
The Legion boys put these entertain
ments on as a public spirited adven-
ture not to make money, but to en-
tertain the people. We are sure the
people of this community do not wish
to see the local post lose money on
the venture and this dance is gotten
up in an effort to make up this de-
ficit. The boys are not asking for
anything but your cooperation, be-
cause they know you win more than
get your moneys worth by attending
this "old TYNE" dance. The soldier
boys have put on something to try to
please you and in doing it have gone
in the "hole". Let's help them out by
everyone attending this dance. The
Brabec orchestra will furnish the mu-
sic and a real old TYNE dance will be
the order Of the whole evening. A
special invitation is extended to old
and young to attend.

PETITION SIGNED BY AS CTTT-
ZENS OF PLENTYWOOD Is OF
FERED TO CITY DADS FOR
THEIR CONSIDERATION.

1t has come at last We thought it
would come sooner, but the good peo-
pie Of Plentywood are very patient.
But every dog has its day. It is COM
mon talk among neighbors of Greer's
on the farm Of how they are pestered
with Mr.. Greer's stock, and now the
people of Plentywood in outrageous
indignation have petitioned that the
dogs which have been kept over on the
south side of the track and those
which have been blocking the main
walk on Main street especially in
front Of Atty. Greer's law Office be
removed from the city limits on the
ground that they are a public nuis-
ance.
The farmer neighbors Of Mr.. Greer
have had to submit to the running
over their property Of Mr. Greers
stock because they mad no herd law
and we suppose naturally that Mr..
Greer figured that the people Of
2lentywood could stand it if his

S. W. CRATHWELL
GIVES GOOD LECTURE

Last Friday night the fourth num-
Der of the Lyceum Course which is
being sponsored by the local post Of
the American Legion, was given to
a fair house.
Mr. Grathwell held the attention of
his audience throughout his talk and
while very serious at times he pune
tuated his address with anecdotes
which kept his audience in good spir-
its. Mr.. Grathwell's theme was
Thinkers and Tinkers" and he gave
some splendid advice to the younger
people and also to the elder ones as
well.
c. w. Anderson introduced the
lecturer and in his talk said that the
Legion boys are now 5000 behind in
the money necessary to pay in full
for the Chautauqua and it was hoped
that the people would get out and
help them at the remaining two num-
bers in order to overcome this deficit
He said that if this deficit was not
overcome that it probably would mean
that the Legion boys would not be
able to handle the Lyceum course
again next winter.

REP. LARSEN INTRODUCES BILL SETTING
DATE OF PRIMARY ELECTION AHEAD

Rep A tn. Larsen of Sheridan
county, Monday, January 8th, intro
duced a bill amending the present pri-
mary law as to the date Of holding
the primary elections. The present
la wprovides for the holding of the
Primary elections seventy days before
the general election. Rep. Larson's
law provides for the holding of the
election date ahead just 80 days, pro-
viding that the date of the primaries
shall be not less than one hundred
days before the date of the General
Election. The bill proposes a change
in Sec. 632 of the Revised Codes of
1921, being the old initiated Primary
Law.
There is no doubt but that Rep. Lar
sens bin will pass the House and
there is a good chance for it to pass
the Senate this session.
There viii be a number of people
who will be of the opinion that the
Primary hould be from two weeks to
month earlier, but inquiry discloses
that the latter part of June to the
middle part of July is Objectionable
to the western part Of the state as
the farmers there are at that time in
the midst of haying and harvesting
of winter wheat and rye, and that
for them, the last week in July is the
most convenient time for the election.
In fact the western part of the state
say that for them the very best time,
is the time the election now falls, but
in order to make it possible for the
farmers in the eastern part of the
state to vote, that an advancement of
the date 80 days will not greatly in
convenience them, and representatives
from the western part of the state
viii support the bill.
Following is the bill:
A Bill For An Act Entitled: can Act
to Amend Section 632 of the Re-
vised Codes of Montana of 1921,
Fixing the Date for Holding Prim-
airy Election.
introduced By A. T. Larsen
BE 1T ENACTED BY THE LEGIS-
LATIVE ASSEMBLY OF THE
STATE OF MONTANA:
Section 1. That Section 632 Of the
Revised Codes of Montana of 1921 be,

STARTLING STATEMENT
 IN LONDON PAPER

In the sensational murder case which created so much excitement in London few months ago, in which Mrs. Ida Thompson and her young lover B. Waters, were charged and found guilty of murdering Captain Thompson, the husband of the woman, it will be remembered that numeorus petitions were sent to the Bri4ish gov ernment asking for the pardon of the woman, but to no effect, and the wo- man and her lover were hanged.
 Two days before the hanging Mrs. Thompson called the jail wardens in and told them that when she was 20 years of age she visited a palmist. The palmist told her that she would be mixed up ip a murder trial and that she would not die natural death that she would die on the gallows.
 "If," said Mrs. Thompson. T had needed the palmist then and been con stantly on my guard, this awful ending may have been avoided"
