Local \. S. 0peretta
Draws Large Crowd

Two large audiences were delight
fully entertained by the produc-
ton OF the ODeretta, Daughters of

both performances.
The local high school students
and the members of the facility are
to be congratulated upon a number
Of things in this production. In the
first place an operetta was chosen
which was pleasing and cont aimed
elements of appeal which made it
not only highly entertaining and en-
Joyable but eminently worthwhile
from the standpoint of inculcatine
d love of good music in those pre-
sentine the production and those
WHO we're fortunate enough TO hear
and see it.
Then the cast and directors sre
to be congratulated upon the fin
lshed manner in which the operetia
was staged. Not onlv were the sing
ing and the acting done in an ad-
mirable manner but all the other
things that entered into the Dresen-
tation such as the costuming,. the
lighting and the dancing, were all
especially effective due to the great
care that had been given to every
detail and to the thorouehDess with
which rehearsals and training had
aiken place.
Nothing more elaborate has ever
been presented in this city either
out Of high school or in high school
from the standpoint of costumes.

Especially pleasing and outstand-
ing IN the presentation was the
chorus singing. In this respect the
bigh school students were highly
accomplished, their attack, their
phrasing and their shading. espe-
cially in the crescendos, making an
effect that was about all that could
be desired.

Governor Puts East
Montana Men on Board

Helena. April 2-W. NJ. Johnston
of Billings and John Hurley of Glas-
gov are the new members of the
state board of education.
Announcement Of their appoint
ments to succeed Robert c. Line of
Columbus and c. H. Foote of Kali
ispeIl was made by Governor Erick-
son Saturday morning. They are
expected to qualify for the quarter
meeting of the board, April S.
These appointments are made
under the act of the 1927 legisla-
ture, which requires that half the
appointive members of the board
be residents of each congressional
district. In view of the fact that
the majority OF the board members
are residents of the first district,
both these appointments had to be
made from the second district. The
majority still lies on the west side.
Mr.. Johnston was chairman of
the committee which initiated the
good roads bill last year and was a
leading figure in the meeting of the
citizens committee called during
the legislative session TO outline an
educational program.

TuIarGmia is Found
in Rabbit Skins

Topeka. Kan, March 28.-For
years hunters have skinned their
rabbits after a days hunt without
suffering any i'll effects from it.
But at the same time they we're
running the risk OF becoming inca.
pacltated for several months with
tularemia. according to DR.. Earle G.
Brown, secretary of the Kansas
state board of health.
Tularemia is often called a rab-
bit disease. 1t is an infection very
fatal to rodents, especially rabbits.
Ii frequently is transmitted TO hu-
man beings as the result of skin
ming, dressing OF handling rabbits
Hundreds of cases of this kind occur
in the United States every year, al
though the average hunter has
never heard of the disease. Most
of them have been reported from
localities where jack rabbits are
numerous.
In most of the cases the disease
has besn transmitted to man thru
skinning an infected rabbit. A
germ from the rabbit may have en-
tered cut or wound on the hand
Several eye" cases have been re-
ported.

An Ideal Citizen

An ideal citizen is the one who
sees clearly and ever something
good in the city and never loses the
opportunity to spread that good
news abroad that others might de-
rive the benefits therefrom, whose
unselfishnees ptompts him to want
others 10 share opportunities, health
ard pleasure which his home city
offers.
Loyalty is the first requisite for
the ideal citizen. The love for the
place and his neiehoors which dis
miss the thought of self interest or
policy and resolves itself into the
knowledge of duty when he does all
in his power to make the city bet
ter place in which to live.
There are three distinct attitudes
which q citizen may assume t0ward
the place IN which he lives, which
furnishes him food, shelter and as
sociation for himself and family, TO
boost, to remain quiet or to knock;
The booster is that ideal citizen who
is never forgetful of the obligations
which is due the home city. He is
ever found at the front when any
movement is launched which might
tend to the advancement Of the in
'terest of the city. While others see
darkly, to him good is VISIBLE at all
times. The quiet citizen is satis-
fed to let the neighbor do the work
and content to lull the city asleep
and let it rest The kn0cker is the
man who is without country.
Then b no room for him anywhere,
bis presence dampens the enthusi-
asm of every man or group of men
who unfortunately come in contact
with him. Having no faith in his
own ability to 90 forward. he natu.
rally lacks faith 10 his home city TO
do 70.
You have the chance to belong to
either OF the three classes. If you
are a booster, your neighbor knows
it we'll and will boost you. If you
are aligned with the quiet class, you
will not be regarded one way or
the other. for the man who selects
to steer in the middle of the stream,
gets no support from either side.
II unfortunately you are a knocker,
get ready to be knocked, for even
tually it Is coming to you. AS you
give, so will il be meted out to you.
Plentywood would be an ideal
city if only there we're more ideal
citizens. Let's have them.

Just time enough to do that in cush-

have this cushioning effect-that is,
if you start forward with the club

will be jerky, since you will have
started forward before the club had
finished going back.
In the sketch to the right you see
the forward swing started. You glide
forward, easily and gracefully,
through the body, then pull, gently
and easily, with your left arm. This
will cause the club to start forward
smoothly, and then, when it is about
half way down, throw it into and
through the ball.
Work for this cushioning effect,

than as a definite pause. Pausing

providing a cushion for your swing,
you will get the natural action in
