Snow-Shovel Santa; His
Novel Christmas Gift.

NT UNIT MARY, isn't there
~ anything you've heard Mrs.
Harcourt say she wants?",
asked Morton Vane. "There doesn't
seem to be a thing for a poor man
to give a rich old lady for Christ
mas. but she's been so good about
my college expenses, because she
was a friend of yours and moth
er's-"
No" interrupted his aunt. "She
has everything she wants." Then.
with a chuckle, 81 did hear her say
1t was impossible to get anyone to
shovel snow properly, nowadays
There's an ideal" said Morton
Christmas eve brought a heavy
snow, and the next morning. when
Mrs. Harcourt looked out of her
window, she a puzzled by seeing
a relocated, white-whiskered man
clearing the snow from the walk
lending to her front steps. When
the porch, too, was finally cleared.
there came a ring at the doorbell.
and, full of curiosity, Mrs. Har-
court answered it herself. There
stood the aged shoveler bowling
gravely as he handed her a holly
decked card. Then. touching his
ermine-trimmed cap, he departed.
with a rather brisk walk for an
old man.
The card read: Santa Claus will
shovel your walks every snowy
morning until next Christmas

Christmas Brings Much
for Both Old and Young

~ HRISTMAS is a time of JOY
" for the old as well as for the
young. If it is given only to
youth to enjoy many of the pleas
ures that Christmas brings, age
finds its compensation in the wealth
of the memories that the day awak-
ems. At no other time does such
hallowed and lovely remembrances
of days that are past stir the heart.
Again, we live in the land of child
hood we revel in its happy, care
free hours; we stand before can
delft Christmas trees that thrilled
us in the long ago. With swift
steps we travel across the bridge
of time and space and clasp hands
with those of other years. Again
we live happy hours of comrade-
ship and understanding that were
ours.
Through the years we ma have
forgotten how rich we were; we
may have failed to recall the many
lovely joys that have come to us
through the years. But at Christ
mas it is different. Absent friends
and joys, as well as those that are,
near, bring us joy and cheer. Even
those who have passed into the land
beyond seem to be with us today i
the power of love and memory
seems to have pierced the veil that
hid them from our view. Dear and
h~alf-forgotten memories of hours
we spent with them bring them very
close.
Yes, Christmas holds much for
the old. And its greatest gifts are
for those who have laid up a treas
ure of lovely memories day by day.

Christmas Trees?

I'm REGARD to why
~ Christmas trees came
into use, the following
explanation is given: 1t was
the desire of the church to
combat the heather custom
which prevailed at this sea

Christmas plays were intro
duced and later Christ trees"
or Christmas trees, adorned
with lights and gifts, the lat,
ter in commemoration of the
gifts brought 10 the Christ
Child by the wise men,
There is a diversity of opin.
ion as to where the Christ

it being credited to both Italy
and Germany.

 Lester Bell had a splendid year with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1926, figuring largely in the sue. cess of the club with a batting average of 1925. He fell away 10 .259 last year. and. although he showed indications of a return to form in the spring training camp he was traded to the Braves for Andy High. With his former lead CT spurring him on he should have great year. His batting has been satisfactory to Boston, for he has been either just over or barely under 300 all season.
 Even if none of the stars shine again with his former brilliance, Boston will have fair infield. If Sisler hits his stride, Farrell improves as he should and Bell holds his own, there will be trouble packed in the Boston bats. Hornsby has not slipped.

 NEW YORK, June 1S-The Boston Braves have baseball quartet recruited from three diff ferent choirs.
 The addition of George Sisler to the infield has given Rogers Hornsby's National League team an all-star cast in the inner de- lenses. All the players may or may not be stars now, but they have been. Washington furnished Sisler, the Giants, Hornsby and Farrell and St. Louis was Bells former address.
 The new manager himself is hitting the ball at terrific rate and may pass the 400 mark for the fourth time in his baseball life, although he is Snot likely to equal his mark of .424, modern batting record established in 1924.
 Hornsby, who led the St. Louis Cardinals to pennant and world championship in 1926, has been with two clubs since then. Man ager Tn 1926, he was only a cap, tain last year and the beginning of this season, but now he is a full-fledged manager again.

 Wood captured the Harmsworth trophy for America in 1920 al Cowes, England, when his Miss America I and Miss Detroit V de. feated Sir Mackay Edgar's Maple Leaf V and Maple Leaf VI.
 Since then the trophy has re- posed in the lobby of the Detroit Yacht Club. An effort to lift it i'll 1921 failed with Sir Mackay Ed gar's Maple Leaf VII, damaged in shipment, sank after making tive laps of the local five-mile course.
 Another threat was made by France in 1926. but the challeng- ing craft made such poor show ing against Commodore Woods three Miss Americas that it was withdrawn after one lap.
 Gar Wood has his Miss Ameri- ca V, with an established compe- tition speed of 1926 miles an hour. with which to defend the trophy. Whether he will build another craft has not been deter mined.

PLENTYWOOD AUTO
co. BUILDING GARAGE

Work was commenced this week on
the foundation of the new garage and
office building being erected by the
Plentywood Auto Company on their
property just south of the Ingwalson
store and postoffice building.
The new structure will be used for
the mechanical department and office
and filling station will be erected in
front making a desirable corner loca-
ton.
The new building will be stuccoed
and will add much to the appearance
of the business district of Plentywood
which is constantly growing.
The Plentywood Auto Company is
one of the rapidly growing business
concerns in this city. They handle
the Chrysler cars and have placed
many of them throughout Sheridan
county. The company also handles
the Hart-Parr tractor and Holt COM
bine in connection with their general
auto repair business.
The continuous growth of this pop
ular company which is managed by
Messrs. Robinson, Medders and Barn
er has made more room necessary and
the old building in which they are To-
Gated at present will still be used as
a store room after the firm moves
to their new quarters.

Sidney Jury Kids PlentywOOd Lawyer
After Lawsuit Tried In That City.

Howard M. Lewis, lawyer, returned
Friday from Sidney, Montana, where
he represented Emil Olson, an old
timer, in a lawsuit against Anton
Storvik, likewise one of the old resi-
dents of the country around Noble,
and which is at the south end of the
Great Northern bridge at Snowden.
This was the second lawsuit tried in
Sidneys splendid new court house

Olson claimed between $4,000 and
$4,000 on the note of Farmers Ele-
vator Company of Noble, which went
bump some years ago. His note was
endorsed by the directors, of whom
Storvik was one. And Olson was the
only witness in his own behalf, while
many of the directors testified posi-
lively against him. However, the
Plentywood barrister gave them al
he had; and the jury believed the
plaintiff-one man against all th'
rest-giving him a verdict for the
full amount claimed. incidentally
