il analogous to the intoxicaticn
from an excess OF alcohol which.
in more than physiological quan.
titles Is 4 transient poisoning Of
the brain. In both instances we
have distinct mental distur-
bance due to the assault Of q
poison upon the brain cells, thus
transiently impairing their e.
ficiency. The same impairment
OF efficiency, but without de-
lirium, may come from excessive
fatigue.
We have seen that fatigue and
the circulation Of poison, such
as influenza, in the blood stream
can evoke slight and transient
mental disturbance.
Are we to be content with our
explanation of ''tiredness' or
..conyalescence, or look for some
structural change underlying
these changes in behavior
Fatigue is capable Of pro-
ducing even more serious and
lasting results. Other poisons
are even responsible for psychic
disorders presenting Identical ap-
pearances, and in larger doses
may impair reasoning power.

desires and control over speech
and physical activities.
Another cause of brain fag ie
the lack of adequate supply Of
oxygen. This Is found to be
true by airmen, mountaineers,
and psychologists who have shut
themselves up in chambers from
which oxygen can be withdrawn.
Two of the latter nearly lost
their lives. They became in
capable of signalling to their
assistants outside when the oxy.
gen lack became serious. Their
mental processes were so re-
duced that they returned the
same answer to all questions.
The higher the mountaineers got
as they went up Mount Everest
the less they cared about achiev-
ing their object.
they found their mental powers
dulled. their will power lessened,
their memory enfeebled and their
observations less accurate. Dur
ing the process of going under
the stage of intoxication, an
anaesthetic, the highest and more
specialized faculties are the first
to go. Sometimes, under these
circumstances, the patients lam
guage and behavior combined to
expose the underlying strata OF

no uncertain. manner.
The moral faculties can be
profoundly altered by all these
and many other agencies. we
thus find a very different expla-

COUNTY FAIR
PREMIUM LIST
BEING COMPILED

The premium list Of the Sheridan
County Fair which will be held Oc-
ober 10th to 18th is now being COM
piled at the county agents office
and will be mailed to the residents
cf the county within few days.
Those who desire a premium list who
are not on the Extension Office mail
.ng list will be able to secure one by
writing directly to the county Ex-
tension office. The premium list will
have many additions compared with
That of previous years and when COM
pleted will be approximately one
third larger This fact goes to prove
that the Sheridan County Fair is
gradually growing from year to year,
and it will be but a few years until
The facilities for handling the fair
will have to be enlarged.
According to the report of poultry
and turkey growers of the county it
is thought that the poultry depart
nent of the county fair will surpass
anything that has been assembled
at one place in the northwest. In
dications are that the quality of
stock in this department will be much
uperior to that shown last year and
facilities will be arranged to take
care of larger display than has been
shown at any local fair heretofore.

Thursday morning that the prin-

would positively be recognized by
the State Fair Board as Princess

guson gave The Herald positive
assurance that, even though ii
became necessary to bring two
girls from this county to the
state fair as their guests and
candidates in the Queen of Mon

rather than make any change in

ed d new milk clarifer to his we'll

This new DeLaval machine removes

Every housewife knows the value of
pure milk and demands it. Sediment
in the milk bottle suggests the pre-
sence of germs, and who can blame
her for wanting new milkman?
If there is anything for the better
ment Of his milk products, Mr.. Nc
Nulty will get it, and his efforts are
evidently appreciated by his many
customers.

MOE STORE BURNED
TO GROUND THURS.

From an early Thursday morn
ng fire for the second time within a
months time the frame building on
south Main street belonging to A. G..
Moore was practically destroyed, and
several hundred dollar loss incurred
" the Plentywood Bakery adjoining.
Had it not been for the quick res

Ger fire department there is little
question but the entire block from
he Orpheum theater to the Mer-
.hants bank would have been wiped
tut, as the fire had gotten quite a
tart before it was discovered.
The shrieking cry of the city siren
was heard about three-thirty in the
morning, and, although flames were
.ursting forth through the roof Of
he structure so that the entire south
md of the city was lighted up, l.. f.
Helm, the fire chief, was on the job by
ne time the whistle had stopped
md with him practically every mem
,er of his loyal company. With
II twenty minutes the firemen had
he flames entirely under control,
wen though it had meant next to a
arious accident to two of the men
who had fallen through the roof of
he burning building to the floor
below.
The origin of the fire, like the one
previous in the same building, was of
undetermined origin, although it
seems to have started in the front
,art of the building Painters had
been working in the room through

Plenty of Room and Prizes for More
Live -Wires-Enter Your Name
You Can't Lose.

Many complimentary remarks are
being heard on all sides with refer
ence to the progressiveness and liber-
ality of the Plentywood Herald in
offering brand new 1929 model
Essex Super-Six sedan, fully equipped
and other prizes in keeping with
broad lines along which this Sales
Club competition has been drawn.
The campaign officially opens today
and comes to a close Saturday, Oc-
tober 27-just seven short weeks.
The undertaking, while colossal in
its way, has met with instant favor
in the eyes of the newspaper reading
public, and if the advance interest
manifested may be taken as critic
rion, the venture is already an as
sured success. Never before in this
section of the state has there been
a campaign of such magnitude, where
the time was so short and the con-
ditions so liberal and so easy as the
one just announced by this news
paper.
Essex Super Six Big Feature
One feature alone is enough to
make it the most talked of event IN
recent years in Sheridan county
That feature is the offer to award q
brand new 1929 Essex Super-SiS
Sedan, fully equipped with front ane
rear bumpers, extra tire and tube
automatic windshield wiper, foul
wheel brakes, ,motometer, etc, the re
tail value of which is S950.00, to the
worker in this sales club securing
the greatest number of votes. There
have been other campaigns IN this
part of the state that have Offered
as first prize a piano or car Of
small value, but that was not goot
enough for the Herald's grand capi
tai prize. The best there is to be had
such as that high-powered Essex Su
per- Skis none too good for oul
club members, and that was what tht
Herald had in mind when the tin'
Essex sedan was decided upon.
Then there is that fine Atwater
Kent writing desk electric radio re
ceiving set, worth $4,000, whicl
can be seen by calling at the furni
ture store of Peterson & Co., wher'
it will be on display now in a few
days-just as soon as it can be gottel
from the factory.
And third comes that fine $1,000
diamond ring which has been pur
chased from A. G. Amundsen. This /
