MUST
WATCH SLEIGHS
AFTER JANUARY ]

Montana residents will have to look
to their sleighs after December 81.
A law passed by the state legisla-
tue in 1928, and which came to the
attention of state officials Friday,
provides that con and after January
/, 1928, it shall be unlawful for any
person or persons to use upon any of
the public highways of this state any
sleigh, unless the runners shall mea-
sure from center to center, four feet
six inches, or wider. A fine of $40 and
not more than $25 shall be imposed
on anyone violating the above
statute"
In 1928, there was agitation over
farmers using sleighs with narrow

PUSSY WILLOWS AND
TREES ARE BUDDING

Despite the weather reports all
over the country, especially in the
east, it is difficult for the resi-
dents of Red Lodge to realize that
the last month of the year is upon
US. To many the altitude of our
little city, nestled among the
mountains at an elevation of
$3.50 feet above sea level, is of
much mystery and it is hard to ex-
plain the fact that the tempera-
ture is usually warmer than in any
other section of the state.
Visitors are much surprised to
see the lawns taking on the APP
pearance of greeness and it is a
common jest that one must hurry
home and get out the old lawn
mower. Chinook winds have caused
the rapid disappearance of the
moist SHOWS and the suns rays
have kept the grass roots grow
ing. All along the streams the
pussy willows are budding as
though it were spring. This is also
true OF the leaf buds Of cottonwood
trees. The sap is at the surface and
If the present mild weather con-
tinues in a couple of weeks we will
see the leaves bursting forth.

Britain Wages War
On Soviet Union at
Geneva Conference

GENEVA, May 13.-Great Britain
is waging her unofficial war against
the Soviet Union at Geneva Economic
Conference as well as in Picking and
London.
Sir Arthur BalfOur has been maxi
ing every effort to discredit the Sow
let Union and to balk the extension
Of credit by foreign powers to her.
Despite the efforts of the British dele
cation, ossinski and Sokolnikoff, Sow
let Union delegates, are comforting
with the delegations Of other coun-
tries about loans and concessions, it
is understood.
When Balfour attacked the sociali-
cation Of trade in the Soviet Union,
Sokolnikoff replied, "other countries
have sold goods to this monopoly and
have received good money"
Explaining the need of the Soviet
Union for credits, one of the USSR
delegates said, eve want to buy loco
motives and electrical equipment in
vast quantities. We don't need money,
we need goods. The government
stands behind every transaction. 1t
has paid for everything thus far"

WILL DURANT AND
SENATOR NYE ON
new SACCO LIST
Civil Liberties Adding
More Names

United States Senator Gerald p
Nye Of South Dakota has joined with
VIII Durant, author Of "Story of
Philosophy" Judge Ben B. Lindsey
and Ernest Poole, magazine writer
in the demand for a review of the
Sacco-Vanzetti case.
A petition circulated by the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union has been
signed by leading educators, lawyers,
clergymen, writer's and editors repre-
senting practically every section of
the country and forwarded to Gov
elnor Fuller Of Massachusetts. The
list Of signers includes two bishops
and three college presidents.
Twenty-six members Of the Cornell
University New York; faculty alone
signed the document. Other universe
ties represented are Columbia, Ohio
State, Iowa, Chicago, Missouri, Ne
braska, Princeton, Wesleyan, Oberlin
and Syracuse.
The petition urges review of the
case on five grounds: That wide
spread belief in the innocence Of the
two accused make such reinsurance
to the popular mind necessary; that
a confusion of issues existed at the
trial as between the political radical
ism of the accused and the charge of
murder against them; that new evil
dence has been adduced since the
trial; that the supreme court of
Massachusetts,, in passing on the case,
weighed only the questions Of errors
of procedure; and that an exercise of
executive discretion in this case would
therefore protect the state judiciary
against Gloss Of prestige and conf
-dence."
Additional signatures to the petit
ton are still pouring in. Those re-
ceived up to Friday follow;
Gerald P. Nye, U. S. senator from
South Dakota.

Union League Fears
Calling Convention to
Amend Constitution

The Union League Club issued a
hectic appeal to the nation at large
yesterday to rally to the immediate
defense Of the constitution. Twenty
four states in recent years have
asked the calling of constitutional
convention and only four more states
need add their names to result in the
convocation.
Wet forces are anxious to hold the
convention in order to eliminate the
18th amendment and are campaign
ing to have four more state legisla-
lures add their act.
The Union League Club, hang out
of the most reactionary elements in
the country, fear that a constitution
might attack other provisions beside
the 18th amendment, such as those
protecting property rights and Civ
ing the supreme court arbitrary pow
er to override congress and the presi-
dent. The club urges chambers of
commerce and business bodies to OPP
pose the convention.
