LARGE PLANT OF
CANADIAN WHISKEY
LOCATED NEAR CITY

While herding band of sheep on
the range northeast of Plentywood
one day last week, Bill Leadbetter, a
sheepherder in the employ of Peter
Marron, is reported to have come
across a large whisky plant in cou-
lee, consisting of nine barrels of "Old
Grow" Canadian import, each barrel
containing in the neighborhood of 40
gallons of liquor.
1t being Sunday evening and Mr..
Leadbetter being a man who attends
strictly to his own business, he bedded
down his sheep before notifying the
Federal officers.
Upon arriving on the scene of the
discovery with his band of sheep on
Monday morning, Mr.. Leadbette1
states the liquor had disappeared
much to his surprise and disappoint-
ment.
On being questioned by his friends
in Plentywood as to why he did not
make some attempt to confiscate
some of the "plant," Bill said, "the Ii.
quor didn't belong to him and there.
fore was none of his affairs, further
that he was a man known for his
truth and veracity and didn't care fol
whiskey anyway"

Frank Borzage discovered a new
task for the makeup man while MAX
ing "Street Angel" for Fox Films. 1t

pelican as one of the attractions for
his circus, and for some reason OF

in such way as to spoil the effect

ter thinking moment, called out to
the makeup man, Charles Dudley
who was standing by, "Bring your
puff, Dudley, and powder the Pelican's
beak bit will youths makeup i:
terrible this morning"
The treatment was highly successful,
and from then on Dudley had a new
performer added to hia list.
