Lima, May ia provisional COM
mittee elected by the Lima Trades &
Labor Council has called a conven-
ton of all trades unions and central
labor bodies, workers political par
ties, cooperatives, etc, to meet in
Lima, Ohio. on May 3rd for the pur-

ment, which convention will be held

CONGREGATIONAL VA
CATION CHURCH
SCHOOL

It was decided at the close of our
Vacation Church School last August,
that we must have another and even
better one this year-only nave IL
earlier in the summer before not
weather and the busiest season. Our
Vacation Church School here at the
Congregational Church will begin
Monday, June 2, one week after the
close eff Day School, and Will CON
tinue at least two weeks. AS IasV
year this school will meet only IN Che
forenoons from 9 to 11:55 from Mon
days to Fridays.
Every effort is being made to make
this years Vacation School even more
interesting, efficient and worthwhile
than the one last year. -Four splen-
did teachers have already been en-
gagged and arrangements are beng
made for others as well as for more
room and equipment.
Last year our school was greatly
handicapped by lack of funds. So
realizing the great value of such re-
ligicus training to children and de
string to raise this years School to
higher level of work and efficiency
we are placing the lower age limit at
five wears and are charging an en-
rollment fee of 81 per child for the
term, to be paid upon entrance. ms
will mean that we can get more anC
better teachers by paying them some.
thing. 1t also means that we sinai
have funds to provide materials tol
much more varied and interesting
hand work which is big part of thu
! School.
Parents and Children may we coun
on every one Of you for the hearties
cooperation in making this Vacation
School not only richly rewarding il
Religious instruction but also IN han'
work, play and good times for ever.

port in regard to the clerkship of
Plentywood where Mr.. Olsen is
highly commended for the shape of
the towns books, but same will be

The Town is having a great deal
of trouble over the water situation
and the Water Committee consisting
of Aldermen Kavon, Moe and Lang
are supposed to look after this, but
it is reported when Lang could not
apply the steam roller methods as he
wanted to in appointing Garneau and
Pierce that he refuses to assist in
Strengthening out this difficulty and
this work is left to the balance eff
the Committee who are doing all in
their power to get an adequate sup
ply of water for the Town for fire
protection. 1t seems that Lang does
not take any further interest in the
Town when he cannot bull his way
through and it can burn as far as
he cares when it comes to doing
some actual work. When he took his
oath of office he promised to fulfill
his duties with fidelity. etc, but it is
just as the town might expect, as he
did not seek the office of Alderman
except for personal spite and revenge
on officers who are doing all in their
power to fulfill their duties.

In addition to the S250,000 paid to

number of eases released.
The first payment to Smith, Re

which he handed nim in the Commo-
dore Hotel in New York July or Aug

the report would be ready soon; that
it had been held up for returns from

aminer Dryer reported that he had
the examination of the County Treas
urer's office nearly completed which
he would file later.
Public Examiner Shelton filed a
bill against the county for the spe-
cial examination of the records in
the sum of about $500 or SIS per
day for the time the examiner has
been in Plentywood, which claim was
allowed and the warrant ordered
drawn.
Tuesday morning NJ H. Mckenzie
Of Homestead who is doing the read
work in Com. Tyler's district was
called before the Board and asked to
explain a claim that he had filed
against the county for $4,000 more

lected for four teams when he
only actually had three teams at
work, and also for putting in claims
for 80 hours for two men who had
actually worked for the county and
been paid by him for about 60 hours.
McKnezie made a sad mess of try
ing to explain. Com. Tyler was him
self visibly embarrassed and wanted
to have "a delay and a hearing. Sur
veyor Rasmussen wanted to dismiss
Mckenzie at once but Tyler protest
ed. Commissioner Lundeen moved
to dismiss Mckenzie from the service
of the county but his motion received
no second. Mckenzie was left on the
job until further notice
Several enraged taxpayers from
Medicine Lake and the Homestead
country appeared before the Board
demanding the dismissal of McKen-
zie and went to County Attorney
Erickson and demanded his arrest for
perjury and presenting a false claim
to the county. 1t is reported that
the people in Medicine Lake are
making serious charges against Tyler
and Mckenzie.
After hearing the above reports
and complaints the Board passed
routine claims, among them a salary
claim for B. X. O'Grady for Is days
so that she could use it to pay back
the money which she had stolen from
the county.
