BEING CIRCULATED

Last week saw in circulation in
Plentywood a number of petitions ask
ing that the proposition of voting on
a state prohibition law be submitted
to the electors at the general election
in November. The work in Plenty
wood is a part of a statewide move
ment and the petitions are being lib
orally signed. sss - III
All state prohibition laws were re-
pealed in 1926, making state, county
and city enforcement officers power
less to act in cases of violation of the
Volstead act. The petitions being cir
culated ask to have the proposition
of putting such laws back on the Mon

sion that is not now in force in Mon

United tSates.
1t does not provide for any new law
enforcement officials.
1t does not provide for any specia
appropriation of state funds for it:

S-IARKEY WINS QUICK
BOUT FROM DELANEY

New York, April 3O.-After having
talked and fiddled his way out of the
main heavyweight picture for this
year, Jack Sharkey suddenly came to
I;fe Monday night and knocked out
Jack Delaney in l minute and 13 sec
onds Of the first round.
Delaney Doesn't Land
Delaney didn't land blow and made
only a few faint gestures. The
handsome features
were twisted grotesquely and he went
to one knee from the effects of the
first onslaught of his foe. Wild-eyed
and wobbly he struggled to his feet,
only to go down heavily from a
smashing right handler. Delaney was
able to stagger up at nine but he was
"out on his feet" Sharkey lunged
and swung a right uppercut from his
heels. Delaney went down as if hit
by an axe, rolled over and squirmed
in agonized fashion on his face. Blood
poured from his mouth and one ear
They picked up the fallen boxer and
carried him to his corner, dead to the
world, while the roar of the crowd re-
verberated to the rafters.
$4,000 Watch Bout
Sixteen thousand spectators, includ-
ing the crew of the famous trans-At
lantic airplane Bremen, sitting in the
front row with Mayor Jimmy Walker
saw the shortest and most sensational
heavyweight fight staged in Ions
time.

PlacerviIle' Calf.

Plaeerville;' Calf
April %, 1928.
Editor Producers News,
Plentywcod, Montana.
Sir:
In your paper of March 10th, 1928,
l read a letter that Hans Rasmussen
had written about California. Above it
you had printed: "Sheridan County
Man Tells About Things AS They
Are"
1t made me fighting mad" to
think that a newspaper would print
such foolish, ridiculous, senseless,
letter as that. What is the matter
with you, anyway?
When this person., Hans Rasmussen
came to California, I'll bet he didn't
know what a trees was. Furthermore,
if he think California raises palm
trees, only he mas another think
coming. @5 r.
If he had come little farther north
of Los Angeles, he would have seen
so many things he never dreamed of
seeing that he'd have a few sensible
things to talk about, not the foolish
junk he put in that letter.
! If it were not for hills and noun
tains where would our beauty spots
of the q. S. come from. Would not
the world look strange without hills
and trees.
Don't tell me anything about Rus
sian thistles. I've see 'em.
And we don't have the kind of
weather here that keeps our children
indoors for weeks at a time. Our
youngsters play outside from morn.
i ing until night, day in and day out
1t Jtakeia pretty hard California storm
to keep my kiddies indoors and those
days don't come very often.
Did you think you were doing some
thing great by printing that letter Of
Mr.. Rasmussen?
/ Well, let me tell you something
When one reads letters like that in
paper, one has their opinion and tina
opinion is not very complimentary t,
that certain paper either.
/ remain,
MRS. HENRY N. O'NEIL,
