scent which proves Lifebuoy gives
greater protection. Even before you've fin
ished your first cake, you'll learn to love
this cleanest of all soap scents, which
quickly evaporates after rinsing.
Without its antiseptic, Lifebuoy would
still be a wonderful toilet soap-but you
wouldn't get the same protection.
Like millions of others, once you form
the Lifebuoy habit, you'll wonder how any
other soap ever satisfied you.
Nothing extra to buy
Lifebuoy costs no unexpectedly less
than the soap you are now using--so the
protection it gives you is actually free!
You can get Lifebuoy wherever soap is
sold. You will know it by the red box and
the cake-orangered, the color of its pure

B. B. GAME AND
DANCE SAT. NIGHT
Plentywood City Team to
Play Antelope City Team
White Orchestra to Fur
nish Music for Dance.

Tomorrow Saturday night the
city teams of Plentywood and Ante
lope will clash on the basketball floor
at the Farmer-Labor Temple, after
which big dance will be held.
The encounter between the city
teams of these two places should be
a good one, as Antelope is noted for
the basketball teams which it turns
out, whether it be high school or
town team. The Plentywood team is
going good after a few skirmishes
and is looking forward to the battle
Saturday night with a great deal of
enthusiasm.
Antelope will be here enmasse to
cheer their team on to victory and
bring along a good quota from Re
serve, who are also interested in the
Antelope team.
All the fans should get out and
see the game and encourage the
home boys to bring home the bacon.
Whites Orchestra VIII Play.
Last but not least will be a dance
after the big game. The Whites or
chestra will furnish the music. Sew
eral travelling Orchestras have played
in PlentywoOd of late, but last Friday
evening the White orchestra took the
stage, and it was the consensus of
opinion that the home boys had the
outside music "backed clear off the
walk" A big crowd will be present
to trip the light fantastic toe to the
snappy music.

Every angle of the situation is ex-
pected to be discussed, next Friday
evening, January z, when people in
terested in this matter gather at the
local Odd Fellows hall to discuss oil,
and the probability of finding oil in
what has become known as the SEQ
bey- Whitehall field.
When indications of oil were first
discovered near Whitehall, last sum-
mer, the public generally was con-
vinced that there really was oil in
this territory. The matter of dis
covering the location of it is neces-
sarily a different proposal, involves
surveys by "rock hounds the raising
of finances and the work of sinking
test wells at promising points. 1t is
a work that requires the co-opera-
ton of many people, and since those
who own land here and have given
leases on it are entitled to a 'run
for their money" the meeting next
Friday should develop a good turnout
and bring out the Importance of

"The first move in the scheme to
grab Montana's oil industry was to
increase the tax on gasoline refined
and sold in Montana to three cents
per gallon. This was the keystone of
the plan.
''To lay this base for the raid a
pretended state highway bill was
drafted, and sufficient signatures
were secured to put the measure up
to vote of the people.
"Then followed one of the most re-
markable campaigns in the history
of Montana A fake State Automo-

stands on legislative matters.
Job Seekers Galore
When the members of both houses
began to arrive they were met in the
corridors of the hotels by an army
of job seekers. They presented a
motley appearance and ranged from
a one-eyed man to a horde of flapper
stenographers. Needless to say that
the flapper stenographers monopoliz-
ed the attention of the members of
the house. Representative Ryder
seemed to have the time of his life
as chairman of the employment com
mittee, position which forced him to
make some nice decisions between
many attractive stenographer aspir-
ants for one job.
Lobbyists There
The members of the third house
were early on the scene and shaking
hands with old legislators and get
ting acquainted with new ones with
an eye on future meetings. The
wise men of the Anaconda were on
hand and had secured nice quarters
IN the Placer Hotel from which to
direct their operations. "Tinplate
Bill" Brennan with his flowing black
tie, the dean of lobbyists, and reput-
ed Col. House of the present guber-
Material administration, was a not
able figure in the Placer lobby as he
beamed his sinuous way through the
crowds. The oil interests were minus
the patriarchial Tom Arthur who
promised so many brilliant futures
for the boys from the cow pasture
towns. But there were others repre-
senting the oil magnates there who
anticipate much Legislation favorable
and unfavorable to their masters.
They are yet a bit timid and as they
think of the work of Tom Arthur in
the past
"They long for the touch of the
absent hand
And sigh for the voice that is
still"

Glendive, Jan. 3.-Several repre-

present at the meeting of the Cana

Culbertson on January 7. The pur-
pose of tho meeting is to adopt a
constitution and bylaws for the orga-

the route from Plentywood to Re
gina and to elect permanent officers.
Another meeting will be held later
somewhere in the Black Hills coun-
try, at which time the route through
the middle part of the United States
will be determined.
At the first meeting of the associ-
alton held at Culbertson several
weeks ago, c. S. Milheiser of Sidney
was chosen temporary president, and
Bert Hammond Of Glendive was
elected secretary. Mr.. Hammond
says that there is a great deal of in
terest manifested by all the towns
through which the proposed north
and south highway will run, and that
his office is swamped with cores
pondence regarding it.
From Plentywood the route will
run to Culbertson, thence across the
bridge at Snowden, passing through
Sidney, Glendive, Wibaux and Baker.
It is planned to mark the route as
soon as possible and to issue log
books describing it.
