LOCATION

place for the transaction of the bust

could not have selected a more CEN

By drawing a line diagonally through
the county from the extreme north
east corner to the extreme south
west corner, and another line from
the extreme northwest corner to the
extreme southeast corner. it will be
seen that the two lines cross not very
far from where the city of Plenty

the exact geographical center of the

From the standpoint of established
transportation facilities, Plentywood
is also as nearly centerly located
as it is humanity possible to make it.
Being located on the Great Northern
Railway, at a point about midway
from where the railroad enters the
county from the south to where it
exits the county on the west line, its
location affords the very best ac-
commodations to all the patrons of
the Great Northern.
With respect to the 500 Railroad,

his view about refusing to give the
Senate informatio as to the source OF
the $50, 900 contribution he made to the
campaign of William s. Ware and
other candidates on the ticket with
him in the Pennsylvania primary early
last year.
While some Of the friends Of Sena-

that there appears to be little hope
that either of them will be seated, they
were taken into the party conference

Most unofficial polls which have been
taken show little change in that roll

Lloyd George Breaks Silence
to Deny Misuse of
Party Funds.
BY the Associated Press.

DS tue AsSOCldteO EECSb
LONDON, December 3.-Recent de-
nunciations of Lloyd George, alleging
among other things. that he "trafficked
in honors," have led the wartime pre-
mier to break his silence on the origin
and management of the campaign fund
which came to be known as the Lloyd
George fund
In statement to the press, Lloyd
George says that the fund was collect
ed by the whips of the National Lib
eral party in exactly the same way as
every other political fund for over a
century. Referring to the allegations
concerning honors, he says that the
honors lists during his premiership
were prepared in the usual way by the
chief whips. and he did not know who
might have subscribed to the fund.
Not one penny of the fund has been
touched for his private use, he said.
He declared that the amount of the
fund has been fantastically exaggerat-
ed. Most of it. he said, had been de-
rived through the appreciation of GER
tain newspaper properties, in which
almost all of it was invested until re-
Gently. The fact that these papers
should have prospered has excited the
envy of journals f1oundering helplessly

Since he left office, the former pre-
mier asserted. he has worked success
fully as a journalist to earn his living
and his emoluments from this during
the past four years have been much
greater than the aggregate of his sal
aries during IL years in Office.
He concluded by saying that his
statement would have been an unwar-
rantable boost if it was not rendered
necessary by the cowardly SANDER pri-
