WILKINS IS TO STUDY WEATHER

 The few records In existence indicate it is invariably an area of anti-eyclone.

 Another meteorological belief which Antarctic records appear to bear out is the theory of the drag on air currents by the earth's rotation. This drag is thought to keep air in eircufa- ton. The sidewise pull is great est at the equator where the rotary surface speed is greatest. At the poles the rotation speed is zero. Under the theory this would tend to create a great whirlpool Of air above Antarctica, and meteorological records indi- cate this to be true.
 f Anti-Cyclone
 Because the Antarctic anti-cy- clone is apparently the greatest i of it's kind, more information about it may help to answer weather riddles all over the world and make possible more accurate weather forecasting.
 Prof. William H. Hobbs of the University of Michigan, who spent the last two summers on the Greenland ice cap, which he regards as the main reservoir for northern hemisphere weather. says airplanes probably are the best instruments fer sociological studies above inland ice. An tarctia, SO far as now known, is all inland ice.

WHY THE kNOCKER?

We appreciate all the good things that neigh
boring papers have said about us concerning
the change in management in the Herald, but
some of our brother editors either take too much
for granted or make serious errors IN Judg-
ment, and, to these w cannot help but take eX-
%ception. For instance. our erratic friend who
publishes a paper at Genera. heads a news ar
ticle in last weeks issue, Polk lnvades Little
Russia" and in discussing our new business
venture, refers again to the city OF Plenty
wood as Little Moscow" Now, to our way
of thinking. anyone who talks about Plenty
wood in that kind of language, has something
decidedly wrong with their head. The pub
fishers home is at Williston, but we have found
many Just as good people in this little county
seat city of Sheridan county as are to be found
anywhere we have ever lived and are strongly
of the opinion that they will measure up well
with the people Of editor Paulsons home town
of Grenora. One usually finds about the kind
of people he is looking for. There are good
folks in every community it is Just a question
of seeking their acquaintance and at the same
time making yourself worthy of their confidence
and esteem; then, Of course, there are the other
kind. and you can usually find them in every
community. 1t has always seemed to us that
a man got a lot more happiness out of this old
world looking for the good things in life than
to be continually harping about all the dis
agreeable conditions wherever he lives. In
stead of talking about "highiackers," horse
thiefs,' "pyorrhea organ or saloon keepers,
would much prefer to write about schools,
churches, community clubs and numerous other
commendable activities without which no city
would long survive.
Another common on the new management
which we do not feel like ignoring is that of
the Tribune, published at Bainville, in which the
writer stated that the Williston Herald COM
pany has purchased the Plentywood Herald.
The editor here was merely picking conclus-
ions out of the sky; nothing appeared in any
public announcement or in any other manner
which could possibly justify such a statement,
and we want to make it clear that the Willis
ton Herald company at Williston has nothing
whatever to do with the P%lentywood Herald,
and, as such, has no financial interest in the
proposition. 1t is entirely a personal deal, as
will be borne out by the records. Of course,
when all is said and done, it's nobody's business
that we can see, just how the deal is handled
so long as we give the people of this community
the kind of a newspaper they are entitled to,
but we just like to have people get things
RIGHT; we have nothing to cover up-nothing
to apologize for-and we don't want the other
newspaper men in this section of the country
worrying too much about how we expect to get
along.
Plentywood herald. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1908-current, 1928-06-28

A CHANGE OF HEART

1t was with no little surprise that we read in
the columns of the Producers News last week
that it favored the publication Of the Sheridan
county Assessment list. This list was pub
lished two years ago when the Farm-Labor or
gan was the official paper, and they Of course
thought it was all right at that time, but last
year, after the %Plentywood Herald had been
named the official paper, they could see no val
ue to printing the list. Editor Taylor I'M
doubtedly realizes that the honor system of
giving in property cannot possibly prove sue
cessful without the publication of the lists, and,
just as the farmer who writes a letter to the
Producers News has stated, every man wants an
opportunity to compare notes. so that he can
see what the other fellow is doing as well as
himself.
1t is an admitted fact that wherever Assess
ment lists have not been published, at least
every two years, the honor system has proven
a failure. In other words, the success of the
plan depends upon the publicity given it. If a
property owner is inclined to cover up any
thing, the fact that the record of his property
which he turns in will not be published will
certainly encourage him to be all the more
questionable with his statement.
County commissioners, together with the
assessor, usually figure that the expense of pub
fishing the list is not justified, but there is no
question but that, even though it does entail a
rather heavy expense at the time, every dollar
comes back to the county in extra taxes be-
cause of the list being published. So the mon
ey expended would not really prove a plausible
argument.
1t is rather peculiar that at the outset the
Herald and the Producers News would agree
on any policy, but the more surprising part
of the proposition is that our competitor should
support such a move at this time. 1t leads us
to one of two conclusions: either they recog-
nize that, after all, there is no use of favoring
or opposing a certain policy merely as political
strategy, and to openly acknowledge what
seems right and just to the taxpayers; or eth
er they feel that, if given the Assessment list
to publish at this time, the Plentywood Herald
without a linotype, could be embarrassed, and
be forced to call on its competitor for assis-
lance.
In any event, the fact remains that there
seems to be every argument for the publica-
ton of the Assessment list, and we are more
than pleased to find that we, as official paper,
could not be charged (for mercenary ~reasons)
with having been the first to open the argu-
ment.
