Corn Show Exhibits

Exhibits are being prepared this
week for the annual North Montana
Corn and Seed Show, which is to
be held at PIentvwood from Octo.
Der rs to g. NJ. P. Ostby, county
agent in Sheridan County, is in gen.
eral charge of this show and coun-
ties slong the northern boundary of
Montana, from Hill to Roosevelt,
are cooperating to make this the
best corn show of all time.
The Montana Extension Service
is helping to make this big and
interesting show. Extension Off
cials al Bozeman have been eager
to cooperate in every way.
This show is becoming OF state
wide importance" says Extension
Director j. c. Taylor. 1T is really
a demonstration of the growing inn
pnrtance of North Montana as q
producer of quality corn and vari-
GUS seeds. and the exhibits will in
clude the famous seed potatoes of
this section of the state. We be
lieve this show has a real import
ance for the grain growers of this
section and urge the fullest cooper
alton from farmers and business
men,"
Contrary to general belief in the
state, the seed corn crop OF Mon
tana this year will be good say ex-
tension workers. Careful selection
and adaptation have made possible
a good crop of seed corn in a year
that was not apparently favorable
to corn growing. There will be some
fine exhibits of corn at the show al
PientywoOd
The North Montana Experiment
Substation, at Havre. will send a
number of exhibits to the show at
Plentywood. The exhibits at the
show from various parts of North
ern Montana will enclude both reg
istered and approved seed.

Froid State Bank
Robbed Of $1,000

Froid, Oct. Is. -Strolling leisure
ly into the bank owned by Senator
SchnitZler at Froid last Friday just
before the closing hour, three men,
clad III overalls and their faces
smeared with grease to pass rs
threshers or engine men, robbed
the bank of more than 81 900,
marched the employees into the
vsult where they locked them up,
and made their escape in big blue
car.
Before gong to the bank the men
had in some way visited Mr..
SchnitzIer's airplane hangar and
damaged the plane so that it took
about an hour to repair it and get
it in flying shape.
Armed with rifles some of the
sheriff posse took 10 the air in the
machine and searched the surround
ing country but found no trace of
any car answering the description
of the bandit car. la answer to
telephone message Sheriff Lawrence
and and Chief of police Hale Nelson
left with Pilot Schupe in the West
land plane from Scobey TO join the
search, but it got dark too soon and
the pilot was obliged to turn home
ward with the officers.

litigant Wants TO kuIlity Co.
Tax Deed 10 Redeem Land

A test case was filed in the dis.
trict court yesterday to determine
whether or not the law would per-
NIT the redemption of land sold for
delinquent taxes and then decided TO
the county by the county treasurer.
The county owns q good deal of
property upon which this process
has taken place, and the county
officials would be glad to find some
way to dispose of il. How ever
this case is one in which the process
by which the property was sold to
the county is attacked.
The plaintiff is the Helena Securi-
ties company. and the defendents
are the county of Lewis and Clark,
County Treasurer w. F. Smith and
County Clerk and Recorder A. j..
Duncan. The attorneys for the
plaintiff are I. B. Weir and H. P.
Bennett. Eighty acres of land that
belonged 10 Carl Aim and his wife
is the subject OF the suit.
The complaint ALLEGED that the
land was sold for delinquet taxes
every year for four years, from
1922 to 1926, the taxes being q
little more than $40 each year. l,
is added that the Aims mortgaeed
the land to the Peoples bank Of
Augusta, and the plaintiff succeed
ed The bank as owner of the mort
gage.
The position is taken that the
proceedings by which the land was
transferred to the county were lille.
gal because, as it is alleged, nc
affidavit was filed in the proceedings
such as is required by section 23t2
Montana Revised Codes of 1921
The plaintiff alleged that it Offered
the county $50 which covered al
taxes and penalties, and asked t
be allowed to redeem the land, bu
was refused. 1t makes tender o

Citizens Meet With
Town Council Thursday

The moral conditions existing in
this community prompted the May
or of Plentywood, Mr.. E. E. Be-
lanski to call a special meeting Of
the town council to meet with the
citizens OF the town for the purpsoe
of devising WAYS and means Of EN-
forcing the law and riddinR the
town of the lawless element that
seems to have hibernated here.
The special meeting was called for
Thursday evening this week which
was attended by a large number Of
citizens, about 100 being present,
and the citizens having AS their
spokesmen MIR. Jack Bennett, j. g..
Wagner and L. i. Onstad. Mr..
Bennet informed the Mayor and
Town Council of the purpose of the
meeting and requested that Mr..
Wagner follow him, who told OF the
conditions existing within and with
out the town limits and what could
be done to enforce law and eslab-
lish order if the officials had the
public with them 10 such an under
taking and uDon call to rise OF all
who we're 10 favor of law enforce
ment and willing to assist the Of
ficers all arose but two.
Mr.. Onsrad followed stating that
the citizens are not here to criticise
or to dictate to the mayor or couD-
Gil what they shall do or not do but
are appearing in q spirit Of friendIl
ness Offering such assistance as they
can give, that in order to better
things as thev pow exist, there
must be two things necessary. the
law and public opinion for the en-
forcement of such law. To show
what the law was, he read the stat
utes relating to Gambling, Vaerancy
and Prostitution showing the duties
of the officers and that the city has
jurisdiction 8 miles outside the city
limits and calling the attention oi
the council to the fact that public
opinion and the desire of the people
of PlentywoOd that these laws are
enforced, also calling attention tc
the fact that the CITY he's ordinances
for the abatement of Blindpigs anG
the right to close such places as 6
nuisance.

Right Must Prevail

II seems that the people of this
community have been run by the
Iawless element of this town about
as long as they can stand it and
have taken the bit in their teeth
and we think it would be the better
part of valor for those who, know
ing themselves to be undesirables
to vacate, move, vamoOse and get
out as fast as they can before the
righteous indignation of the town
rise up in its might.
The meeting of the citizens with
the town council was move in
the right direction and very timely
as the conditions in the town and
surrounding country has become
such that life or property is not safe
and the existance of dives and
dumps in the town and by the Mud
dy will no longer be tolerated We
hope this will not he the last of this
movement and trust that il will
continue and get some action and
make this fit place to live and
rear our families.
