THREE CARS CRASH
ON RAYMOND ROAD
SUNDAY MORNING

Sunday morning about 2 o'clock
there was serious automobile acci-
dent on the Raymond road when a
party of young people on the way
home from a dance at Raymond had
a head on collision with a car COM
ing from Plentywood. Both cars
were wrecked beyond repair but the
occupants of the cars escaped with
only slight injuries. The fact that
there were no fatalities seems almost
miracle. About a dozen people
were riding in the several cars involv-
ed.
! 1t seems that three cars loaded
with passengers were coming from
the dance, one following close behind
the other, when they met an an
preaching car. The car in the lead
was on the left side of the road. and
the approaching car had to pass to
the left, and in so doing hit the car
in the rear, knocking out the rear end
of the car, meeting the second car ., .
coupe, which went into the ditch to
escape, but the third car a Ford with
no lights was hit head on, wreckino
them both.
There was considerable excitemar+
for while when all parties concerned
decided to call the whole MATE matte
squared up and the injured nart;es es
came to Plentywood and had tbo;s' Se;s
wounds and bruises dressed.

By the terms of the pact the text of
which was made public Friday by the
state department, it will become eff
fective January 1, 1929, providing it
has been ratified by that date, and
will supplant all existing tariff com>
mitments of China to the United
States. The restoration of tariff au-
tonOmy by the United States, how
ever, is based on treaty stipulation
of nondlscrimlnation by China against
americans as compared to the ma
tionals Of any other country. For
treaty purposes the stipulation is mu-
tually binding on both countries.
The announce ment came as 4 sur
prise since Secretary Kellogg made
public only July "A the fact that min
isr"r MaLMurray had been authorized
to negotiate such a treaty. 1t Was ac-
tually signed by Mr.. MacMurray and
T. V. Soong, nationalist foreign min
lister, the following day, July %.
Washington officials were inclined
to brush aside as unimportant the
question OF the degree of diplomatic
recognition extended to the natiOl.dl~
ist government through signature Of
the treaty.
That it is form of de facto recog-
milton is admitted, but officials con-
tend there is no ground for surprise
at home or abroad as Washington
has publicly declared its sympath!
with nationalist efforts in China =
upbuild an effective central govern
ment, capable of undertaking and ful
; filling international obligations. Tha
) has been the traditional America
; policy toward China, it is pointed out
in the troubled days since the revolu
tion Of 1911.

teen years old, and his little sister
Emma, about nine who walked ovel
from the Heiser farm to the adjoin'

m MANY farms the ground is black

The hail started north of the Whit

the other papers have gone into the

threatening rain which deferred many
who planned on attending the picnic
from going. About ten o'clock it
clear some and the bravest pulled out
for Brush Lake. In the afternoon it
cleared up and by evening there was
large crowd present. 1t was this
fact that delayed the speaking until
five. There was a very large crowd
at the dance in the evening as the
day was delightful after it had clear
ed up.
Base all Game
Quite large crowd witnessed the
ball game in the afternoon between
Westby and Reserve. The game was
good one going ten innings and be-

crowd until late in the afternoon
which of course lessened his crowd
considerably.

OVER WORLD DURING
FISCAL YEAR OF 1928

Washington, July 28.-An impor-
tant redistribution of gold throughout
the world was witnessed in the fiscal
year 1928, the federal reserve board

gold in this country was reduced by
about S58O,000,000 from the peak
reached in May 1927.
France was the largest single taker
of gold from the United States, get
ting $257, 100000, Argentina was sec
ond taking a total of $130,000,000;
Brazil was third, receiving S55,O00,-
900.
Restoration of the gold standard in

STOLEN CAR BURNS
FIVE MILES WEST OF
TOWN SUNDAY MITE

A blaze was observed on the west
road just south of the Big Muddy
last Sunday evening. Few paid any
attention but Monday morning Roy
Mann coming early to town reported
that car had been burned the night
before about five miles out. Very
little attention was paid to the matter
until a little later Mr.. Vollmer dis
covered that his coupe, recently pur-
chased from Jack Dwyer, had disap-
peared. He missed it the evening be-
fore but thot some one had played
a joke on him. He made some in
quiries and when he heard of the
burned car, he went out to investi-
gate, and found that it was his car.
The coupe was taken Sunday evening
by unknown parties who evidently
wrecked it in making their getaway.

EQUALIZATION
BOARD In SESSION


The board of county commits
siOners as the board of equaliza-
tiOn, has been in session a cOnsid-
cradle part of last week and this
week going over the assessments.
They have made many changes
and adjustments this year. We'd
nesday they made a survey of
the residences and lots of Plenty
wood with the assistance of Clerk
and Recorder Neils Madsen, and
made many raises as a result of
their activities. It seems the
board of equalization found a
number of the best residences
which they decided were valued
too low and raised them. Many
of the best lots were also raised
in value.
The board will convene again
next week when they will make
a study of the assessment lists
which was recently published in
the PlentywOOd Herald.
