SUB-ZERO WEATHER AND SNOW
ARRIVE IN SHERIDAN COUNTY
Friday Brought Seasons First Fall
of Snow and Tuesday Morning
Thirty Below Weather.

At last, after being many weeks
overdue-a matter no one seemed
particularly perturbed over-Old
Man Winter has arrived and taken
general charge of the weather.
The first fall of snow came Friday
afternoon and continued intermittent
ly through to Monday. The cessa-
tion OF the snow fall, Monday after
noon, was accompanied by a sudden
drop of temperature of unusual Sc
verify. From about four o'clock
Monday afternoon to early Tuesday
morning local thermometers regis
tered drop of from about freezing
point to thirty-two degrees below
zero.
This situation is not peculiar to
this part of the country but prevails
throughout the Northwest, accord
ing to news dispatches. Even the an
nolncer of broadcasting station at
Winnipeg admitted it was cold up
there-about DO degrees below, he
said.
While the local snowfall has been
heavy, it has not interferred with
the traffic to any appreciable de-
gree. Trains have been running on
approximately schedule time and
drivers Of cars have experienced lit
tie difficulty in getting through to
any point desired The important
matter in regard to car driving is to
see that the proper percentage of
anti-freeze solution is in the radiator
and that the batteries are fully
charged.

MONTANA RED
CROSS FUNDS ARE
USED in STATE

Ninety-fve percent of the money
raised in Montana by the tuberculos-
is Christmas seal sale stays in the
state, according to Mrs. Sara K.
Morse, secretary of the Montana
tuberculosis Association which is
conducting its anual campaign for
funds to carry on its health educa-
tional and disease prevention pro-
gram.
although our Association is af-
filiated with the National Tubercul-
osis Association which receives five
percent of the funds, the organiza-
ton is not so large but the mon
ey raised by local units is applied
locally" said Mrs. Morse. "Seven-
ty-five percent of the seal sale in
each county can be expended in that
county for public health nursing serv-
ice or to promote summer health
camp when a county desires to ex-
pend it's seal sale funds in that man
ner. These two projects are very i'm
portant in tuberculosis prevention
program
In some communities part Of the
seal sale fund is used to provide milk
for underweight school children or
to assist schools in securing scales
and other health aids. The funds
which remain in the state association
are used to finance the field nurses,
provide Modern Health Crusade ma
terial for the schools, distribute lit
erature and supplies to tuberculosis
patients, and carry on an educational
campaign which teaches how tuber-
culosis can be prevented and cured.
According to Mrs. Morse the
white plague took 1853 lives in Mon
tana last year, and it still remains
the most devastating disease to men
and women between the ages of 20
and DO, time when death or disabil-
ity of parents deprives many little
children of loving care and home
life. Money invested in preventing
tuberculosis will reduce the amount
to be spent for the help of widows
and orphans.

Farmers Will
Have Share in
County Affairs
Division of Commissioners Dist
ricts Face Every Section of State
Next Year.

Helena, Dec. 6.-Agriculture, it is
indicated, will have greater repres-
entation in the personel of county
government in Montana henceforth.
Such is the declared purpose of the
county commissioner district law ap.
proved at the recent general election.
Heretofore commissioners have been
elected from the county at large,
with the result that often the entire
membership comes from one ely. The
new constitutional amendment re-
quires the creation of commissioner
districts, and as vacancies in the
board occur, the election of the new
board member is to represent a des-
ignated portion of the county.
Division of their counties into
commissioner districts will face the
boards of county commissioners and
district judges in every county next
year While the amendment will be-
come effective on proclamation by tn.
governor following the state canvass
of election returns, the counties need
not make the division until May /,
but must make it as soon thereafter
as convenient or possible and within
go days beginning May l.
The law requires that the districts
shall be as compact and equal in pop
ulation and area as possible and it
provides for the participation of
district judges in the county divis-
ion.
The new commissioners will be as
signed, under the law, one to each
district, each representing that one
in which he lives or to which his res
idence is nearest. The district rep
resented by the commissioner with
the least number of years to serve
is designated as district /, the one
represented by the commissioner next
in seniority, district 2, and the
third, district 8. District boundar-
les, says the law, may not be chang
ed so as to prolong the term of any
commissioner already elected.
Though during the period of SER
vice of the present board there may
be some district without direct rep
resentation, the law provides that
when new commissioner is named
he must be a resident elector of the
district he is to represent. Howev-
er, the whole county participates in
his election. In case of vacancy be-
tween elections, appointment is to be
made by the district judge.
While the law is designed to give
equal representation to all parts of
the county, it has been pointed out
that the district representative are
Left to fight for their shares of
county activities, since no attempt is
made to apportion the amount of
money that shall be spent in each
district or to apportion the county's
road or other machinery.

not aware Of because little attention
is ordinarily given them, but during

wise to mail the articles while the
