In your editorial of April 18th, you
remark:
Representative Larsen eff
Derby Hat fame was. obliged to
move out of the Montana Inn last
week at the request of the par
ties whom he had failed to pay
rent for the last some months,
so the idea that it was cheaper
to move than pay rent became
more like an inspiration than
anything since the Derby Hat
man of Rep" fame had, since he
up and called the Farmer a liar"

time before we moved out that Mrs
Larsen could not stand the work OF
the life, and we asked Mrs. Andor-
son to come back and take over the
hotel. The venture was not a pay
ing proposition and everybody in
Plentywood knows that. There is not
much business in PlentywoOd outside
the doctor business; the doctors braq
about their profits nowadays.
