Bass Planted In
Sheridan Lake

Two Sheridan county lakes, Brush
Lake and Park Lake, may in the
course of time, be the habitat of
game fish.
At least that is the intention Of the
State Game and Fish Commission
who shipped to Sheridan county the
past week, 48 cans of lingering bass
fry which Game Warden E. M.
Krost planted in the two lakes. Six
thousand of these tiny black bass
were placed in Brush Lake and 1000
in the other. These fish are furnish
ed by the U. S. Fisheries department
which salvages these small fish from
landlocked pools along the Mississip-
nj and ether large rivers Of the coun-
try.
Much interest is shown on the part
of local sportsmen in the venture, as
they are anxious to see whether the
lakes where the fish are planted are
sufficiently free from the brakish
content in the water that has prevent
ed fish from living in the lake waers
of this region.

LOCAL BANK
ISSUES new
PATRONS CHECK
Trademark in Paper Water
mark New Safety
Device

The Farmers & Merchants State
Bank of this city has adopted a new
bank check and is issuing the same in
various styles and types to its check
ing account customers. This check
is individual to the Farmers & Mer-
chants State Bank; and, in the back
ground features the banks trade
mark.
The background design of this
check is unusual, and the manufac
turer hao reserved it for the exclusive
use of the Farmers& Merchants
State Bank in this section. By means
of this individuality, further empha-
sized ~ the banks trade mark, it
becomes most difficult for anyone to
reproduce one of these new checks.
To do so, as is the pratice of some
gangs of crooks, would require an in
vestment in photographic or printing
equipment that would take away all
the profits of proposed fraudulent
transaction. Thus, through this indi-
vidualness, the Farmers & Merchants
State Bank gives added protection to
the funds of its depositors while their
checks are in circulation.
The unique back ground pattern of
the check is laid by the manufacturer
with special ink-extremely sensi-
tive to the application of forger's
acids, erasers and pen knives. At
the same time, this ink resests the
natural reaction of unlight and damp
ness. The beautifully tinted back
ground does not disappear, or fade
under ordinary conditions.
When anyone attempts to alter one
Of these new checks, if they use an
eraser or pen knife on the writing
surface of the check, glaring white
spot is Immediately produced-acting
as an "Automatic Stop Payment"
signal when the raised check is pre-
sented for payment to a businessman
or banker.
As a customer of the bank in any
one department you are entitled to
the full ad complete cooperation OF
all. In many departments there are
services which you can use along
with your checking account. The man
who makes pleasing financial pro-
gress uses all available services of
his commercial bank. The Farmers
e. Merchants State Banks officers
and directors consider it real pleas
ure to help you correctlysolve your
financial problems-pointing out 9TH
er valuable services, and giving you
timely suggestions that mean in
creased profits or income.

CHANGE OF DATE
FROM WINTER TO
FALL DECIDED ON

Hospital Day is scheduled to take
place at the Farmer Labor Temple on
Thursday, October 81 with the usual
program Of events that have made
Hospital Day such delightful occa-
sions on the past and many Other in
innovations added to attract the
crowds and to help boost the big
cause along.
A definite program has not as yet
been scheduled other than that the
dance which takes place in the even
ing viii paitake of te mischevious
spirit of Halloween with nothing left
undone to add to the gayety Of the
occasion.
A fall date has been selected for
this annual event instead of late win
ter as in the past, for the reason that
there are too many circumstances to
hamper the affair during the winter
months. The blockadeed condition
of the roads is the most serious OBJ
sticle to contend with and the uncey-
tainty of the weather another.
Halloween weather is usually de-
pendablc and, somehow, or Other,
people are in more Of mood to en-
JOY themselves at that time, hence
the switch in the dates.

INSTALL.
ING "TALkIES" IN
ORPAEUM THEATRE
Only Theatre in Hundred
Mile Radius SO
Equipped

The Orpheum Theatre of Plenty
wood, in keeping with the trend of
the times is having "talke' appar-
atus installed this week.
This equipment is of the same
type as that used in the large metro
politan theatres, the sound attach
ment being a part of the film so that
the sound is absolutely attuned to
the picture. This equipment is not
to be confused with the talking NOV
les operated by disc sound accom-
paniment such as are now making the
rounds Of the smaller moving picture
theatres.
The new equipment represents an
outlay of between five and six thous-
and dollars and gives Plentywood the
distinction of having the only talking
movie theatre within radius of one
hundred miles, as the nearest "talk-
les" at present at Williston, to the
east; Malta to the west; Regina to
the north and Glendive south.

new 500 Line
TRAIN SCHEDULE
IS ANNOUNCED
In Effect Monday-Will Ma
terially Change Raymond
Stage Schedule

Improved passenger, mail ana
express service is assured those OF
this region who are served by the
500 railway as result of change
in the passenger train schedule on
the branch north of Plentywood.
According to N. j. Rueter, who con-
ducts a stage livery between here
and Raymond, train No. l07 OF the
500 Line Ry., will leave Minneapolis
at 600 .. m. and will arrive at Mi
not at $3.50 the following morning.
this train will make connections with
the Flaxton- Whitehall passenger train
at Kenmare and this train is sched-
uled to arrive at Raymond at 4:1O
instead of 11:00 as heretofore. The
train going east from Raymond
leaves there at Gal instead of 1:25
according to the old schedule making
connection at Kenmare with train
No. 108 which requires very little
waiting as the through train leaves
Kenmare at 1:20 a. m.
This change in schedule has chang
ed the Raymond -Plentywood Bus

the train going west leaves Plenty
wood at 800 and for the train going
east at $40.
1t is believed that under the new
arrangement much more satisfactory

dition generally, the sheep being
brought down from the reserves,
while the cattle will be allowed to re-
man FOR ABOUT three weeks longer.
In some sections shipments of cattle
and sheep continue heavy, due to a
shortage of feed. Feeder pigs are Of
fered for sale in Phillips county with
few buyers. Sheepmen in this coun-
ty are also offering more ewes and
eve lanmb this year than usuel, due
to anticipated low prices.
The labor situation is about nor
NAL. Reports by counties follow:

duckfooting on summer fallow.. Few
farmers who have potatoes were dig
ging this week from a very short crop

fax is being harvested-the average
yield being about three bushels pei
acre. Bulk of the cattle shipments
have been made, although few cars
are still moving to market. A small
shipment of feeder lambs sold to
buyers from Sidney area. Some de-
mand for dairy cattle among those
farmers who have feed enough to
carry them over the winter.

Lawyer.
A visit with George Cudhie was al
ways a worth while visit. He had,
perhaps, more friends who called at
his office just to converse with him
on current events than any other man
of the community He had no inferi-
or complexes. He had his hobbies.
He liked to read good literature
no trashy magazines found their way
to his desk or room. He liked good
music. His great library of opera
tic airs and symphonies of the old
masters increased in volume and he
enjoyed playing them in the solitude
of his own room. He liked good
friends and unostentatiously made
them feel welcome. His law library
was unexecelled in the state. 1t
cost him more than five hundred dol
lars annually for law reports and
digests. He had favo1-ite newspa-
pers and magazines and he kept up
with the review Of new books, buy
ing those that were worth while,
whether history, fiction, adventure or
philosophy
He was what same called "old
fashioned and conservative" He
was and yet he was progressive.
He detested what is known as "red
tape" yet he admired the formula
of certain procedure-the dignity of
the court and the services of the old
English church. He was a firm be-
lever in party government. AL
though staunch Republican he ad-
mired many leaders of the opposition,
but his party was only second to his
country.
We liked George Cudhie. We are
just one Of many who will miss him
greatly One could not help but ad-
mire his qualities, his learning and
his individuality. Those who knew
him best liked him best. He was a
man you could trust.

IS SAID TO Be
LARGEST COUNTY
FAIR in WORLD
Gate Record Was Largest Of
Any County Fair in the
America

The Richland County Fan held at
Sidney, September 1913 with an
actual paid attendance Of 36,10S in a
county with a population Of 9,672
and with over 1900 Of the 1929 farms
and farm homes of the county repre-
sented with exhibits, has established
a worlds record for both attendance
in proportion to population and for
percentage Of farms represented
with exhibits, according to Harold
F. DePue, manager of the exposi-
ton, this year.
All available records of fairs for
the United States have been invest
gated in order to fined out how the
1929 fair compared with records of
the Country and according to the
management this years records are
far beyond those Of any other exposi-
Sition of its kind. This years record
is most unusual and one that has
caused comment in all state press
editorials and by all Of the thous
ands who attended the splendid pro
grams and viewed the wonderful ex-
hibits.
With an actual paid attendance this
year Of 36,l09 or approximately
four times the population of Rich
land county, which is 9,672, and with
such high percentage Of farms and
farm homes represented with ex-
hibits, has been cause for amazement
throughout the fair world.

Content Case Heard in Court

Anyone interested in sharply
fought court case would have been
more than satisfied had he visited
the local session of court last Tues
day and listened to the case involv-
ing contempt proceedings brought on
by Deputy Sheriff J. Franc Murray
against Dave Curtin. The complaint
alleged that a quantity of wheat on
the Curtin place, which had been at
tached by the sheriff's office, had
been hauled away to some secret
place contrary to the orders that all
Of the grain involved be hauled to a
certain elevator, there to be stored
until the matter involved had been
settled. The defendant denied any
breach of good faith. Paul Babcock
represented the plaintiff and H. M.
Lewis the defendant. Judge Paul,
who heard the case has taken the
matter under advisement, the deci-
sion to be given at later date.

A Tribute to George Cudhie
(By Burley Bowler in Daniels County Leader.)

In the peaceful quiet of his own
room George Cudhie laid down the
daily paper, took off his glasses,
turned out the light and went to
sleep. He had done the same thing
thousands Of times before and there
is hardly doubt but that he thought
Monday night no different from any
of the thousands of nights on which
he had gone through the same rou-
tine-undressed, fold his suit neatly
over a chair, get under the covers
of his bed, read while, lay down his
paper or book, take off his glasses,
turn out the light and go to sleep.
But this time his nights sleep
peacefully merged into that sleep
which none \awakens.
Mans days are but few here, and
their manner of passing is not always
peaceful. There seemed something
poetical just in the way the Great
Judge acquitted George Cudhie of
his earthly service. Living alone in
his office and his rooms, nearing the
allotted span of years, there was no
long siege of sickness, no pain, no
weary hours of nursing, no cares, no
fretting over the inevitable, he died
as he had lived, peacefully and alone.
His work was done.
And Scobey and the community
have lost good citizen, good
friend. The legal profession has lost
one of its most thorough scholars and
practitioners.
George Cudhie was one of those
whose friends sought his advise on
matters that did not always pertain
to law If in the interest of the
city,community or county he gave it
as a citizen with no thougt of reward.
He was loyal and was honest. Meth
er in practice nor in private life
would he take unfair advantage of
his fellow man or lawyer. In the
profession he was rated a Class"A"

man, who asked fair questions and
demanded fair and reasonably po-
lite replies was an experience the
Hon. Chas. E. was not prepared for.
He hemmed, hawed blushed swal-
lowed down his Sunday throat and,
in far away voice adjoured the
meeting
According to the Williams County
Newsman, who reported the affair in
its columns last week, the red re-
former didn't even take time to ask
those present for their customary
doations of from two to ten plunks
which no doubt is a contributing rea-
son why "the American Temperance
League is working quietly"

Close Fire Call
At Elgin Cafe

Had not one of the guests at the
Leland Hotel awakened and noticed
a nckering glow on the wall OF his
room early Tuesday morning and
went to ascertain the cause, Plenty
wood might have had very serious
fire. The guest discovered that a
small blaze had caught on the rear
entrance Of the Elgin Cafe and that
it was growing every moment.
The alarm was promptly turned in
but b. the time the department arriv-
ed Mr.. and Mrs. Koenig had the sit
uation well in hand, as the fire re-
ouired but few bucketsful Of water
to put it out of commission.
1t is hard to figure out just how
the fire started fro it was an exter-
ior blaze on a roof, a considerable
distance from any chimney or incin-
orator that might have furnished the
spark that set Z off. The damage
done was negligible.
