16 YEAR OHIO BOY
TO PAY DEATH PRICE

a boy who is three years
younger than Ferdinand Schlaps
must pay the supreme penalty for
his crime, according to the de-
cision of an Ohio court. Floyd
Hewitt, 16 years old has been
given the death penalty for the
murder of 5-year-old Friedrich
Brown. The crime was commit
ed February IA. The case was
tried in Jefferson, Ohio. Hewitt
had confessed to the murder of
the boys mother also.
A jury found him guilty of first
degree murder without a recon-
mendation of mercy after DELHI
Grating one hour and five minutes
Tuesday and Judge Charles Sar-
gent Immediately sentenced him
to die in the electric chair at the
Ohio p%enitentiary on August 10.
Hewitt stood up gauntly to hear
the verdict. But he did not bat
an eye as the jury pronounced his
fate. In contrast to her son, Mrs.
Olive Hewitt, who had spent ev-
cry day at the defendants side,
collapsed as the verdict was read.
She was historical.
Even the assistant prosecutor,
H. ]. Redmond, whose %impassion-
ed plea for the death penalty was
partly responsible for the verdict,
broke into tears and wept audib-
~.
Hewitt also has been accused
of killing the boys mother. In a
confession, later repudiated, He
witt said he made advances to her
when music from Browns radio
made him feel funny inside" and
that he killed Mrs. Brown and the
boy when she resisted him.

Livingston Has Wood
Pile For Tourists

Livingston, April 25,-Living-
ston as a city beautiful does not
expect all its tourist visitors to
be of affluence. In many in
the past travellers have arrived
who are out of funds and need
something to eat and need it bad
ly. In order that the ol%d-fashion-
ed custom of "panhandling" pc
destrians on the street may be
stopped, the city has installed in
the basement of the city hall, a
frst-class wood-sawing and wood
splitting outfit whereby those who
are hungry and willing to work
may find the needed work and
thereafter a wholesome meal.

in many places the frost had de-

the fruit. Some Orchardists burn

Mrs. Edith e. Olson, McCone
county superintendent, was visit

shape. Mrs. Olson will be busy
the coming week attending to
seventh and eighth grade exam
nations and also to the county
school meet to be held at Circle
on April % and 20. She deplores
that so few districts have sent
in word that they will be repre-
scented at this annual Roundup
meet. The main reason is be-
cause all schools attending must
pay their own expenses this year,
to the lack of funds for this
purpose.

OF Havre the sun of S3,173 as pen
alties and interest on delinquent
taxes due the city and retained by
the county, under a settlement
agreement between commissioners

peared with the Wolf Point law

ENLIGHTENED SERVICE is DEVELOPING
THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY OF TOMORROW

Throughout the lower Rio
Grande Valley the electric power
and light system Of the Central
Power and Light Company-its
generating plants and transmits
sion wires-carry the essential
service Of electricity to small
towns. farms and industries as
we'll as TO the larger centers and
cities. Each community served
enjoys the same high quality Of
service as the largest of them.
They all enjoy a quality Of cleo
tric service equal to that of any
city or community in the United
States.
This service is made possible
through the deficiencies that come
as a'result of serving large groups
OF communities from i~ntercon-
nected generating plants-the IRE
alton Of conditions by transmits
sion Of energy such as exists in
large metropolitan centers as a
result Of density Of population.
The diversity Of uses of electric
service In the Lower Rio Grande
Valley as a whole. is far greater
than il a be in any single COM
munity. And the economies and
security against Interruptions of
service that result from large
generating stations connected
with each other combine to es-
tablish a situation here which
could not have been developed
under the old system Of self-con-
