In on his way home from the Office
The afternoon papers had been

Of the investigation. Markham, after
consulting with Heath anc Doremus,
had expla sled the death OF Mrs. Greene

overdose of strycnnine-a stimulant
she had been taking regularly under
her physicians orders.
Both Markham and Heath had be-
gun to show the strain Of their futile
efforts to solve the affair. and one

KienaSt Motor
Co. Burglarized
Sunday Night
Thief Ruins Cash Register In Effort
TO Open It-Gets Nothing For His
Trouble.

Inability to operate the cash reg
lister of the Kienast Motor company,
brought no returns to sneak thief
who broke into the garage early
Sunday morning, but his attempt to
pry open the tills wrecked havoc with
the machine.
Just how the would-be burglar
worked his way into the building is
not definitely known, but it is evi-
dent that he managed to get in
through one of the windows at the
rear of the garage. He then, upon
getting into the garage, got into the
office by climbing through tran
som window above a door.
The instrument used in prying op-
en- the till it would indicate, was the
handle of a pair of pliers found lying
on shelf below. The front part of
the lowest drawer was pried COM
pletely off. Deep gouged marks also
showed an unsuccessful attempt to
open the upper drawer. All the till
contained at the time was about a
dollars worth of pennies and there
were in an inner compartment of the
drawer broken into and he was un-
able to get at these. Nothing else
was stolen from the place.
No clue has been brought to
light as yet that would indicate the
identity of the miscreant, but it is
not improbable that an arrest may
follow in the course of few days.

Montana Grain
Big Sensation
In Chicago
Montana Exhibits of Wheat, Oats
and Barley are Best at Interna-
tiOnal Livestock Exhibition.

Chicago, Dec. with two worlds
sweepstakes in wheat and oats and
IL first places and the judging only
half finished, the quality of Montana
grains was more clearly demonstrat-
ed this year than last at the Inter
national Hay and Grain show being
held at Chicago. The state Sunday
broke her own previous record in
prize winnings. C. Ivan Gustafson
of Ravalli county was given the
worlds sweepstakes on his samples
of white oats, and G. Edison Smith,
also of Ravalli county, for the sec
ond consecutive time won worlds
sweepstakes with hard red winter
wheat weighing &c ITO pounds to
the bushel.
In the six wheat classes Montana
won four first places and "a out of
80 top places. In the hard red win
ter wheat class, the Treasure state
won the first nine places in row; in
soft red winter wheat, first and
fourth; in Durum, the first nine plac-
es, and in white spring wheat, the
first five.
Added prestige to Montana's rat
ing as a premier small grain state
was gained Monday by the sweep
stakes award in the barley exhibit of
Mr.. Gustafson.

Coolidge Asks
Farm Aid Fund
President Urges Increase in Nations
Naval Strength, Farm Relief and
Legislation Covering Numerous
Important Subjects.

Washington, d. C.-In what pro-
badly will be his valedictory to con-
gress, President Coolidge has empha-
S.zed oIce more his desire for an in
crease III Americas naval strength,
urged farm relief program which
would meet approval of the admin
istration, made suggestions for leg
islation covering the most import
ant subjects, and ended by declaring
the nation was in an era of prosper
ity and peace such as never before
had been experienced.
For farm relief, Mr.. Coolidge reit-
Grated his suggestion for the creation
" federal farm board in order that
the government might aid in promot-
ing orderly marketing and in handl-
ing surpluses clearly due to weather
seasonal conditions. He suggested a
revolving fund from government
money, until producers associations
had erected stabilizing organiza-
tions to finance themselves through
regular credit institutions.
Following the lines of his Armis-
tice day speech, the presidents mes
sage repeated his desire for passage
of the Is cruiser bill now pending in
the senate.
The president also reiterated his
opposition to putting the government
into the power or nitrate business in
connection with legislation affecting
the Colorado river or Muscle Shoals
Reviewing the efforts of the ad-
~, ,sc4r +o aoonor,f1o ~, ,>,,h1 n
expenditures, the president declared
that instead of deficit Of $4,000
900 which was excepted last June
for the current fiscal year, "the COM
bination of economy and good times
now indicates surplus of about
S37, 100000" He said, however, that
there would be no large enough sur
plus for further tax reduction.
The question of prohibition was
disposed of by Mr.. Coolidge in brief
form:
"The country has duly adopted the
18th. amendment" he said. "Those
who object to it have the right tc
advocate its modification or repeal
Meanwhile it is binding upon the ma.
tional and state governments and al
our inhabitants"
AS for enforcement he said the
federal government ais doing anc
will continue to do all it can in this
direction" and declared that the of
ficials in Washington were entitled
to the cooperation of the states.
The relations between the United
States and Nicaragua, Chilli, Peru
Mexico and China were dealt with
separately by the president who also
in his discussion of foreign affairs
praised the purport of the Kellogg
treaty to outlaw war. There was nC
mention Of American adherence to the
World Court.
The message was concluded with 6
plea to the people to remember that
in times of prosperity unremittina
toll is necessary to keep what has
been gained.

NEW OIL STATION
VERY ATTRACTIVE

A noteworthy addition to Plenty
woods business establishments is the
splendid new oil station of the Plen-
tywood Farmers Oil Company, which
opened for business last week. The
building presents very attractive
and, being one of the
first buildings to attract the eye of
the stranger who views Plentywood
for the first time, cannot help but
convey a good impression for the
town in general. The building is of
reinforced concrete construction and
constructed along the lines of the
usual type of gas stations in larger
cities. The storehouse is also of
concrete fireproof construction,
which will bring the fire hazard to
the very minimum. The company
handles Texaco gasoline and lubricat-
ing oils.
j. H. Jensen, president of the local
company, is in active charge of the
station.

FLEETWOOD WINS
FROM COMERTOWN
Locals Rounding Into Fast Team
Much Room For Improvement.

At last, after two bad starts, the
Plentywood High School basket ball
team struck its stride and in a game
with Comertown at the Farmer-La-
Dor Temple last Wednesday evening
defeated that organization by score
of 45 to IL.
The opening of the game featured
slow, cautious playing on the part
of both sides, neither side taking the
aggressive but as the game progress
ed Plentywood speeded up in its
playing and after the start of the
second quarter had the visitors COM
pletely outclassed. Plentywood's
playing was a decided improvement
over that in their two previous
games. Their passing was fast ano
fairly accurate and their guarding
while still open for much improve.
ment, was more than equal to the
occasion.
While the showing made by the To-
Gals showed much improvement over
their exhibition of last Friday night
when they went down to defeat be-
fore the Bainville quint, they will
have to make further progress to
win when they line up at Plentywood
against their traditional rival, Froid
next Friday. The boys have the speed
and the science of the game, but lack
of team work seems to be their be-
setting difficulty.
