FRANK L0zAR POST
! EXPOSES ''GRAFT?"
''PEP" MEETING HAS DESIRED
RESULT AND ATTENDANCE
AND INTEREST WAXED HOT
AND FURIOUS-AMI M c A B L Y
SETTLED WITHOUT LOCAL
WAR.

Somewhat of a bombshen was ex-
ploded several weeks ago at a meet
ing of Frank Lozar Post, American
Legion, when DIR. ]. E. Thompson
turned in a bill for $500 for SER
vices rendered by him at the first
roaring Stoney carnival held in
1923. The matter was laid over for
Investigation. Discussion was gen.
eral among Legionaires since and
last Friday was the date decided on
to bring the matter to a head.
Almost the entire membership of
the post was present as was also
DIR. Thompson and his attorney, Mr..
Bang. The papers had been served
on Commander j. E. Johnson by
Doug. Nankervis, police sargeant.
A little after eight o'clock the
meeting was called to order as usual
and the purpose was brought out
with the reading of the summons
and complaint as served on the Com
mander. This started a general dis
cussion, and questions and remarks
were coming thick and fast. One
member after another took the floor
and gave his opinion one way or the
other in no uncertain manner. "Doc"
was sure under fire in few minutes.
80. few members who were wise to
the stunt mad quite a time in keep
ing the Commander from putting
to vote a motion, whereby the Post
would "give to Doctor John E.
Thompson, not a single red cent, !"
and would fight the case to the end.
After about an hours discussion,
Thompson was called in with his
attorney, Mr.. Bang, and asked to
give his side of the case. This was
done and more arguments started.
1t was truly a 'Pep" meeting. Docs
claim seemed to be based on con-
tract made with former Commander
Mr.. James Rupy. He was asked to
produce this contract and after con-
siderable arguing, attorney Bang
turned over to Commander johnson,
the contract in question. On read
ing it to the meeting it was found
that it called for the payment to
Doc. Thompson, the sum of $500. 90
in Roaring Stoney slack"
It was moved and supported that
the claim in the amount of 100000
be allowed and that he be paid in
full with Roaring Stoney "Jack-" +"
The motion carried unanimously, and
Finance Officer Friedsburg counted
out the "Jack" Immediately and
turned it over to Attorney Bang who
in turn, turned over half to his
client, Doc. Thompson.
Commander Johnson, Doc, and
Mr.. Bang then told of how the plans
had been going on for some time
anu asked that the fellows turn out
on all occasions as they had for this
one. Committees for the Fourth of
July celebration were then appointed
and the meeting adjourned to the
second floor, where the winners of
the suit had prepared a dandy lunch.
Every one agrees that the meet
ing was decided success, and also
that Doe had a lot of nerve in try
ing to pull such stunt.

PARIS TRIPS NOT THROWN
OPEN TO GENERAL PUBLIC

Recently National Commander
Howard Savage of the American Lee
gion authorized Minnesota officers
to accept the Paris trip reservations
of FIFTY civilians who in the past
have rendered friendly help to the
Legion in the promotion of its ac-
tivities. State Commander Rand, in
turn, authorized each Congression u
District leader to honor FIVE such
men by granting them the low Le-
gion rates. But this is the limit,
Legion officers declare. The Paris
plan is not open to the gen-ral

Plentyxood Defeats
Scobey Team II TO 0

The Plentywood High School football
team came home from Scobey through
plenty of mud but with the long end of n
score. This was the first game that the
s2entywood boys had ever seen or entered.
The score at the end of the game was 27
for Plentywood and for Scob y.
Both teams were inexperienced with
the exception that Scobey had suffered
defeat at the hands of Willston, the week
before. For this reason the game was
rather slow to begin with. During the
second quarter the boys began TO find
themselves however and popped up bit.
The local bows found very little difficulty
in making gains either around ends OF
through the line but lost the ball frequent
iy due to fumbling.
With about five minutes of the second
quarter yet to play, Zeidler gets away for
a long end run and dashes go yards <for
the first touchdown of the day. He car
ries the ball across for the extra point
alsu.
Zeidler repeats with another end run
during the third quarter but due to a
poorly marked field, he stops ten yards
short of the line, whereas he could have
had a touchdown. The ScObey team
held our boys for downs here and we lost
the ball. Scobev tries to punt at once
but it is blocked and Hunt drops on the
ball for the second touchdown. The boys
failed to carry the ball across for the
point after the touchdown. Score Plen-
tywood IS Scobey 0.
During the fourth quarter Mitchell goes
40 yards around end and would have
made a touchdown but was forced out OF
bounds. Zeidler then takes it around the
other end for touchdown. A point was
also scored making the score Plentywood
20 Scobey 0. With but ten seconds to
play Zeidler crosses the line again with
the bell for his third touchdown of the
day. Lee Hair carries it across the line
for the extra point making the score Plen
tywood 27 Scobey o.
The boys will play their first game al
home on Friday, Oct. 7th at $3.50 p. m.
and they will look forward to your sup
port. The opponents for that day will be
Crosby and it will be veteran team SO
If support was ever necessary il will be
then. Scybey will also play here on Fri
day October l4th.
To football fans we make this plea,
come out and help the boys win and bring
someone else with you. Football is a
new sport in this high school and consp-
quently there is a great deal yet to learn
both for the boys and spectators. The
games will be played On the Herald Base
ball field Your dollars will help pay the
expenses but it takes your presence to
help win the games. Come out and
bring the family.

Proper Use of Colors
Add to Homes Charm,

Many homes that could be really
beautiful do not have more than half
the actual attractiyeness they might
possess. This is because the value
OF a careful selection of colors was
not appreciated when the house was
last painted.
All paints, to be truly decorative,
must be selected with proper regard
to color harmony. Style of architec-
ture, character of setting, geographi-
cal location, should be- given consid-
Grafton when choosing the paints to
be applied. Pure full color tones
can rarely be used without violating
good taste; tints and shades of the
primary colors are far safer.
Most homes look better painted In
the lighter colors. The Colonial type
house, either pure or modified, can
not well be given any color other than
a cream yellow or white, with shutters
and roofs In deeper tones.
The popular square type house, If
not too large, can be finished In warm
er colors, particularly when 1t is close
to other dwellings and has little shrub.
berry or few trees around 1t. Such
homes are frequently painted in two
colors, darker, or warmer hue be-
Ing used on gable ends, or on the up
per story If it is a large residence.
Where there are beautiful trees to
set Off and be set off by the house 1t
would be unwise to use any colors on
the blue side Of the spectrum.

interest and help make the Dagmar

Trees Good InUestment

Trees are integral parts of the
grounds around a home; they grow
from seedlings into tall, many
branched, green-leafed giants whose
shade offers comfort during warm sum-
mer months, and whose blended
shades Of green and brown harmonize
splendidly with the grays and azures
Of summer skies. Take care of them /;
see that they have enough food, water
and air and that harmful insects and
parasites are destroyed. One can make
no better investment than that of pre-
serving fine old trees.
