SCHOOL OPENS HERE
Mon, SEPTEMBER 3

The 1928-29 school year of the
Plentywood schools will begin on
Monday, Sept. 3. There will be NO
preliminary registration before the
opening date other than that of pupils
who have not attended the Plenty
wood high school before and are not
graduates of the local elementary
school.
1t will be to your advantage to
have all pupils from other schools
who expect to attend high school in
Plentywood this year to drop a card
to Supt. Glorvick at Plentywood signi-
flying in which year of work they ex-
pect to enroll. Those who wish to see
Mr.. Glorvick before school begins may
do so by coming to the office at the
school house during the week of Au-
gust 27 to 81.
All pupils should be at school the
opening day and plan to remain in
school each day thereafter. No pupil
will be excused from attendance the
first day unless permission is given
from the office. 1t might be well
to add for the information of parents
that our school apportionment de.
pends upon the number of days pres
ent and not entirely upon the number
of pupils enrolled. Every day that
child is absent from school there is Z
loss Of money to the local school fund
There will be the usual deposit O.
50 for each high school pupil agains

.COMERTOWN STORE
SCENE OF ROBBERY

Sometime between Sunday night
and Monday morning the Comertown
Mercantile Company store owned by
Jacob Tweet, was robbed and about
5000 worth of merchandise taken.
The thieves entered the building by
breaking open the front door and de-
voted their efforts to taking wearing
apparel for men and few pocket
books and miscellaneous articles.
The robbery was first discovered by
Tim Quigley who came into Conner
town from his farm about seven o.
clock Monday morning. He notified
Mr.. Tweet and the sheriff's office
was notified. Sheriff Salisbury made
flying trip to the village and went
over the premises with the owner
looking for clues. After a thorough
investigation it is believed by Sheriff
Salisbury that the robbers headed for
Minot and quiet search is going on
with hopes Of apprehending the plum
derers.

peratures prevailed throughout the
week with warm days and cool nights
and very light precipitation in all 10
calities except eastern counties where
no rain is reported. Crop reporters
generally characterize the week as
ideal for maturing grain. One county
says all crops are ten days to two
weeks in advance of last year in ma
turity.
Winter wheat yields are showing up
better than was generally expected.
A few typical yield reports are as fol-
lows: Prairie la bushels; Blaine II to

10 to 40; Saltwater dry land 10 to 40
irrigated 35 to 40; Lake up to 35 anC
40; Gallatin 10 below normal; Chou
teau summer fallow around 80 with
a few running up to 40 compared tC
last year when yields up to 55 anC
go were made); Lincoln and Cascade
slightly lower than last year; Fergu!
fair on early planted fields, disap
pointing on late planted fields.
Winter wheat seeding has started.
Although spring wheat harvest i
just getting a good start, a few re
ports have come in indicating tina
yields will be average and above
Many report yields as good as or, bet
ter than last year and all agree th
crop generally is in good condition.
Corn is coming along rapidly in i'm
portant eastern counties. Prairie say
the crop will equal last years. Vel
lowstone, Custer and Dawson say no
weather has put corn in good condi

GREEN VEGETATION

All green vegetation in Plentywood
and outlying country was laid low
Thursday morning after one OF The
earliest frosts visiting Sheridan coun-
ty in the fall for long time. Ii
was unusually heavy and it is feared
that any late grain may be damaged
1y the freeze.
The thermometer was anxlouslN
watched by many Wednesday evening
and as the night srew the ehermom
eter continued to drop. Many gard
eners covered LheiI tender vegetatioI
but any light covering failed to Keel EEL
the vines from willing under tn
freezing touch of Old Man Frost.
Just how badly the corn crop wa
affected by the early freeze is not ye
known but considerable damage ma
been done to this grain and all lat
flax. -
The portion of the county vlsite'
bv the frost is large and the tota
damage will amount to large sum.

Alto acceptance Spoecn LnaL unem-
ployment in the sense of distress is
rapidly disappearing" and points to
the four million unemployed workers
in the United States today as proof
that Hoover distorted facts in his at
tempt to establish the republican
party as the party of prosperity.
The famous declaration made by q
member of the French ruling class
prior to the French revolution, that
workers who asked for bread could
eat grass, is called to Mr.. Hoover's
attention by the Communist candidate
in relation to his statement on unem-
ployment.
"The low wages paid In the textile
industry, the four million unemployed
the bankrupt and poverty-stricker
farmers, the wage cuts in the textile
coal. automobile, shoe and other in.
dustries are sufficient proofs that ev
erythlng is not as rosy as Mr.. Hoover
paints then," says Gitlow.
There is no hope for the poor farm
ers. in Hoover's solution of appropri
ating few millions a year for farm
ers relief, Gitlow declares since only
the rich farmers who will be part O.
the additional government apparatu
stand to benefit.
GitlCw asks Hoover why he faile,
to state his position on the war q
Nicaragua, a large army and nav,
for imperialistic adventures, if he ia
vors the preparations of the Unite,
States for a war with Japan over tn
Chinese markets, why he did not pro
test against the execution of two in

by a republican governor, why Tor

Governor Smith Urges Adoption Canadian Liquor Plan
RESERVE WINS FINAL
GAME FROM WESTBY

Reserve, Aug. 2O.-The Reserve
baseball team compelled very sue
cessful season last Sunday when they
defeated Westby II to at the Plen-
tywood baseball park. This was the
big game of the season for both the
teams and was more hotly contested
than the score would Indicate Each
team had previously won two games
and on account of the intense rivalry
existing between the two towns it was
decided to pick a neutral ground for
the deciding gam.
Westby scored twice in the first in
ming and seemed to have the games
we'll in hand but the Reserve boys
scored once in their half of the first
and put four more across the rubber
in the second inning. Brusek then
settled down to work and wove his
usual spell around the Westby slug
gers. Reserves lead was never in
danger after the second inning altho
they continued to slam the ball with
unusual vigor until the final count
was II to 6 for Reserve.
/ The Reserve team has won ten ou
of thirteen games played this seasoI
against the fastest local aggregation
/ in this section of the country. Thi
speaks we'll for the local team as the
are all home boys with the exception
of "Spotty" Brusek the pitcher. Tn
local fans supported the team in
very commendable manner and hav
reason to be proud Of the team tina
represented Reserve this season. TIL
team next year should be stronge
than ever as there are several prom
ising youngsters who are about read
to show the veterans how the game
should be played.
