 Almost every moment is recorded from the time the cruiser Memphis was sighted and until Lindbergh re- sponded to President Coolidge's ad- dress of welcome in the reviewing stand
 The story:
 WASHINGTON, D. C.-The first real thrill concerning the arrival of Col. Charles Lindbergh at Washing ton, D. C., was when the U. S. s. Memphis was first sighted. The Memphis steamed up the Potomac and on past the War College cheered by many thousands along the beach Docks, buildings, and every spot of land along the water was lined with countless numbers of cheering Ameri- cans, welcoming their hero home [ A tremendous crowd was aboard the Presidents yacht Mayflower The sky was black with airp,anes flying in battle formation then flying away in all directions then again returning to battle formation. At $40 a. m. Seattle time) the gang plank was being set in place for the distinguish ed hero to pass over. Lindbergh eau now be seen coming off the bridge followed by a number of high off, cers and we'll known citizens, the Presidents Cabinet and officials of the Army and Navy. (S:4S a. m. Seattle time) The parade of cars are now forming on the other side of the pier, and loud cheers go up from the crowd as they see Lindbergh passing along the deck with high officials. He now enters a cabin with his moth CT and is alone with her for some few minutes. The moment is in- tense, every second the crowd ex poets Lindbergh to come ashore but he doesn't come The same little personal touch of excitement hasn't been felt since Armistice Day. The band is now playing, Mrs Lindbergh is with her son, that is the reason they haven't left the ship as yet. Probably this mother and son will

 The entire white uniformed crew of the U. s. s.

Lindbergh and party board their cars and are on their way. towards the Capital where thousands upon thousands await him. Every building in Washington is black with people and the streets are lined with many more. The police are lined up, all through the Capital grounds about 20 feet apart, some are uniformed and some have plain clothes, wearing club and revolver strapped around their waist A squadron of motor cycles police are coming around the Capital Plaza followed by a squadron of Cavalry, then comes Lindbergh in one of the Presidents cars, hat off and hair waiving in the gentle breeze (9:15 a. m. Seattle time) the car bearing Col Lindbergh pass es the Capital building.
 Certain high officials said never since Roosevelt's inauguration has there been such demands for space to see the parade. When the Lind bergh car passed along Pennsylvania Avenue the crowd went wild, women and men and children as well threw their hats. coats, newspapers and practically anything they had to- wards the parade, showing their en- thusiasm and welcoming spirit. The crowd is now assembling around the Presidents stand where the Presi- dent will decorate the new hero of the world Whistles are blowing and thousands of people are yelling and cheering. The President took his seat in the stand at (9:4O a. m. Seattle time) and is waiting for the approach of Lindbergh. President Coolidge and many dignitaries' On the reviewing stand are now turned toward the rear of the stand where Lindbergh will appear. Now the cheers are assuming a roar on the street.

The winner Helen Highland is en-
titled to a free trip, paid by the state
to the State High School Conference
to be held a Missoula about the mid
die of May. The High School Con-

oratory and track, but Plentywood is
sending no one for the track meet.
Supt. McDougall of Scobey; Miss
Barry, teacher from Outlook; and
Miss Elliott, principal at Redstone,
were judges for the occasion. The
Plentywood P. 7. A. sponsored the
event.
Contests of this kind are of real
education value to the children and
eventually to the community as a
whole, and more of them should be
sponsored and supported by the vari-
Gus schools throughout the county.
Subjects original to the pupils might
make them more enhancing, thus Civ

care of periods of this kind to guar
antee the running of the institution
when there were many patients there
in.
The hospital has tried cutting down
expenses as much as possible, even
suggesting having only two nurses.
This economy, however, would prove
ineXpedient, as the nurses work in
eight hour shifts and it would be
necessary to have a nurse there at
all times, even tho there is only one
patient to be taken care of. The
running expenses amount to about
$500 a month. With six patients, it
is self-sustaining, but this last spring
and winter there have been times
when only one or two patients have
been treated. This has put it into
debt to the extent of about S1100.
With pledges amounting to 5000 a
month, the hospital believes it can
get over similar slack periods, get
out of its present debt, and will have
fund from which any future ex-
penses can be drawn.
Several suggestions were given by
members and friends present as to
pledges. Mr. Christianson suggested
that when individuals were solicited
they be asked for $500 or more to
be paid in installments of $500 or
so if necessary, and credit for this
amount be allowed them in case they
would at any time become patients
at the hospital. Mr.. Mckee in order
to get the present debt paid off.
suggested that all business men
pledge $500 a month, and the solicit
tors insist that they pay three months
in advance. In order to allow per-
sons who do not have a regular
monthly or weekly income to contrib
ute other pledges would be taken such
as those which would be paid once a
year, say in November. DR.. Roy sug-
1 geSted that farmers could pledge pro
duce, such as a chicken a week, a doz-
en- of eggs week and so on-things
which the hospital can always use.
1t was finally decided to ask the
business men to donate $500 a month.
and individuals as much as they chose.
4 committee to take care of seeing
that these subscriptions were taken
care was appointed by c. C. johnson,
Chairman, consisting of Mr.. Palubecki
and DIR. Roy. These two are to solicit
citizens of Plentywood and the sur
rounding country for pledges in the
next few days. Then another COM
mittee may be appointed.

East Montana Storm
Did Little Damage

Miles City, April 23.-With but few
losses reported from the rural dis
tricts following the abatement of the
eight-day storm period, livestock men
and farmers are arriving in the city
more or less encouraged over the
unusual rain and snowfall. That the
snow stood as high as a horses knee
is the report brought in by Claude
Chaplin, who reached the city from
the head of Moon creek Thursday.
The road conditions are still bad but
with prompt attention will have been
resurfaced by dragging. The mois-
ture conditions at this season stand
almost unprecedented, according to
old time residents, who declare they
cannot recall an early April season
with such prolonged precipitation.
That it will have been beneficial to
the crops yet to be planted, is the
general opinion expressed here.

you people how economical they are.
The work was done by Emil Moe at
Archer and the fact about the work is
that the road was in very bad shape
after the spring thaw. so Emil put
eight horses on the drag in order to
do a good job. After he had spent
six hours the road was Just like a
boulevard. Emil sent in his bill for
six hours work with four horses-he
simply donated the six hours work
with the other four horses-he want
ed good job done and he did it and
our county commissioners were small
enough to disallow the $3.50 claim
In full. There was never any doubt
in their mind but what the work had
been done but they also knew that
Emil never voted for Frank French
so he had to be taken down and sat
on. They wanted to do to him like
Ed Iverson said to me some time ago:
I'VE are going to show you where to
get off at"
Our state attorney general was
here at the last meeting and promised
he would help all he could to collect
the money from the insurance COM
pany. The case is as clear as day
light. The money was insured and
stolen and there is no reason why the
county attorney and the state attor-
ney general could not collect the
money without any trouble. Still
French and Iverson insisted on hiring
Mr.. Babcock. You will find out some
more about that some day and it is
going to make very interesting read
ing. Some people try to make you
believe that if this fellow or that fell
low stole the money then the insur-
ance company would not have to pay
which is all bunk of course. The
money was insured no matter who
stole it but the insurance company
would like to squirm out of paying it
If they can and it seems like there
are a lot of people right here in this
county willing to help them all they
can.

New York, April 26.-Commander
Noel Davis and Lieut.. S. H. Wooster
were suffocated by gasoline fumes
and not killed by injuries due to the
crash of their plane Richard R.
Blythe, of the Keystone Aircraft cor
poration, makers of the plane, told
The Associated Press this afternoon.
Blythe said he had received from
Lieut., Kenneth Boedecker, field en-
gineer of the Wright Airplane cor
poration, complete report of the
accident.
"Davis and Wooster were found
in the glass covered cockpit of the
plane" Blythe said. eft was found
they had not a broken bone or a cut
that would cause death. 1t was
quite evident that death was caused
by the cockpit being flooded by gaso-
line, fumes which suffocated the two
men,"
Describing the accident from Boe-
decker's report, Blythe said it was
not caused by overlooking the plane,
but by turning the tail of the plane
to the wind while heavily laden.
They were over Messick, Vo., on
the last of the test flights planned
for the big craft before it was taken
to New York for the proposed trans
Atlantic dash for the Orteig prize OF

Sponsored By Farmers Elevators
This convention will be held pri-
marily in the interests of Farmers
elevator companies and independent
dealers in the state of Montana, and
is being sponsored by approximately
twenty farmers elevator companies
in northeastern Montana, who have
for long time felt the need of an
organization controlled by and oper-
ated for the farmers and independent
elevators.
Directors and Stockholders Invited.
All directors of Farmers elevators
and stockholders of Farmers elevat-
or companies, as well as independent
elevator men are cordially invited to
attend this convention.
Appeal to Individual Farmers.
1t is understood that Glasgow has
very attractive tourist park, and
it is the appeal of the officers of this
association that individual farmers as
many as can get away, load their
families into their automobiles and
come prepared to make use of the
tourist park in the event that they
should not desire to take advantage
OF the hotel facilities, and that they
come prepared to attend the different
sessions held. Subjects pertinent to
the farmers and Independent elevator
movement will be discussed.
For Anti-DiscriminatiOn Law
The main program of the Farmers
1raln Dealers Association at this
ume Is the working for an anti-dis-
examination law similar to the one

ture this winter, but was killed be-

faults of the children. These cards
were then brought home to the par
ents. Several cases of goitre were
prevalent among the pre-school age
children and the boys and girls of
the grades and high school.
At the baby clinic, fifty babies and
pre-school age children were examin-
ed by Nurse Warning, assisted by
Drs. Campbell, Steele and Storkan.
Six women of the p. I. A. were des-
ignated to help the nurse and doctors.
A few cases of tonsils and goitre
were noted in these babies, and sug-
gestions for cure were given to the
parents by the doctors and the nurse.
Booklets explaining how to keep the
health of the baby were also distri-
buted to the mothers and fathers who
brought their children to be examin-
ed.
1t was unfortunate that more pub
licity could not be given this Clinic
at this time, but Miss Warning came
at such time that newspaper publ
city would have been too late. She
wanted to have more parents from
the farms bring their babies in, and
she also wanted to go out to the coun-
try schools to examine the boys and
girls there, but the bad roads pre-
vented her from doing so. A clinic
could not have been given at Plenty
wood this year either, if the Parents
and Teachers Association of Plenty
wood had not prevailed upon Miss
Warning to have one. Her salary
which is provided for from the appro-
priation given through the Sheppard
Towner Maternity Bill is not suffici-
ent to warrant her stay in towns
with sparse population for much long
er than a day. Any extra salary she
gets comes from the Red Cross whose
main source of income is from the
sale of Red Cross Seals. AS Plenty
wood sold only $4,000 worth this last
winter, there wasn't much of a sur
plus left to go around. Miss War
ring consented to hold the clinic il
the P. I. A. would take charge OF
the sale of seals next winter.
Next fall when the schools are
again in full session, Miss Warning
expects to return to Sheridan County
and hold similar examinations thru
out the country, making the larger
towns of Medicine Lake, Redstone
and Outlook as well as some of the
entirely farming districts. She hopes
to give enough notice in advance tc
allow for proper advertising of hel
coming. Then if other communities
wish to hold the Baby Clinics, Miss
Warning will be glad to know.
