HIGH SCHOOL GIRL
MEETS TRAGIC END
IN auto ACCIDENT
Nettie Collins Killed When
Car Gets Beyond Her
Control
Accident Occurred Near Flax
vile Early Sunday
Morning

Grim tragedy stalked in the wake
of party of young folks returning
home from dance at Scobey early
Sunday morning and snuffed out the
life Of Miss Nettie Collins, the 16
year old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
O. j. Collins of this city.
The accident occurred on the Sco-
bey- Plentywood highway at the turn
of the road near Flaxville. Miss
Collins was driving the car, a Chrys-
ler coupe, occupied also by James
Stone, of Redstone, owner of the car,
Darrell Eaton and Miss Winnifred
SINNERS.
She was driving at a good rate of
speed and when approaching the turn
in the road was told to watch out for
it. She evidently became panic strick-
en- and lost control of the car. What
happened then is not clear to any of
the occupants of the car, but the car
ran in the ditch and some way the un-
fortunate girls head was caught in
the jam of the door and badly
crushed.
The other occupants of the car,
unhurt, ran to her assistance, and
found her still alive but unconscious.
Ben Johnson of Raymond arrived
on the scene soon afterward and took
the party to town. Miss Nettie lived
but few minutes after the accident,
never gaining consciousness.
Funeral services were held for the
deceased at the congregational
church Thursday morning, Rev. S. w
Munro officiating and the body laid
to rest in the Plentywood cemetery
Nettie Elizabeth Collins was born
in Raymond, March 6, 1913 and has
lived in the Raymond and this vici-
nifty all her life, attending the loca
schools, being pupil in Plentywooo
High School. She was of a happy
carefree nature, common to active
and normal girls of her age and was
very populr among the younger SCI
of the community, and will be great
ly missed by them.
She is survived by her parents
Mr. and Mrs. O. J. Collins, two broth
ers, j. ]. Collins of Chicago; anc
Griffith of Plentywood; four sisters
Mrs. j. Standish of Astoria, Oregon,
Ruth, of Portland, Oregon; and the
Misses Kathryn and Vera who reside
at home with their parents.
The pallbearers at the funeral were
six school friends and associates OF
the deceased, namely the Misses
Dorothy Becker, Verna Crawford
Juliette and JEANNE Garneau, Dolores
Pickett and Winnifred SINNERS.

Los Angeles, June 25.-Death has
called Strongheart, canine film star,
from his retirement.
The first dog actor Of the screen
died yesterday at the home of his
owner and friend, Jane Murfin, who

eight years ago. Strongheart was -
years old and had been failing in
health for several years. He under
went an operation three months ago.
From the battlefields of the World
War came Strongehart to win him
self a measure of affection from the

SMALL TOWNS ARE
NOT DOOMED SAYS
VISITING LECTURER
Business In Small Towns
Made Big Gains In
Past Generation

Contrary to the generally accepted
opinion,the small town is not doomed,
according to DR.. Frank Weber, of
Fargo, who addressed to gatherings
of the Plentywood Commercial Club
today.
Statistics show that the volume of
business done by the small town
merchant far exceeds that of the
small town merchant of a generation
ago and statistics also show that the
average small town merchant has
kept pace with the progressive meth
DDS of merchandising and is in in
finitely better position to render
satisfactory service to his customers
than he was twenty years ago, said
Mr.. Weber.
But a town or community cannot
grow or prosper, he said, if it is per-
mitted to drift aimlessly without any
other purpose than that of being a
convenient habitation and trading
point. Organized effort to keep the
schools, churches, community activ-
tiles, up to the highest standards is
necessary for the town to succeed
and serve the people.
Dr.. Weber is dynamic speaker,
who has the faculty of bringing
home with telling effect the problems
confronting the small town or city.
he is an interesting speaker and held
his audiences in rapt attention thru
out his two talks, one at the West
Cafe at a luncheon meeting of the
club and the other at the county
agents headquarters in the evening.
He has covered the northwest ex-
tensively the past couple of years
helping communities solve the prob
lens that have vexed and perplexed
them and has rendered a distinct
and valuable service in putting ambi-
ton into communities that have
found themselves in a rut.
He is scheduled to speak at Red
stone next Saturday afternoon. We
recommend full attendance at this
feature as well as at the other diver
sions at the Redstone community day
which is being celebrated at that
time

YECCS BLOW SAFE
OF OUTLOOK DRUG
STORE TUESDAY
Narcotics Part of Plundel
Stealthy Visitors
Took

A small quantity Of narcotics and
about S25 in cash was the reward of
the efforts of yeggs who blew the
safe Of the Ford Pharmacy at Out
look last Tuesday night or early
Wednesday morning, the llne not
being known by the residents Of the
vicinity as the results Of the job re-
vealed that it had been performed
by men who were accustomed to
that kind of work.
Entrance was gained through the
front door of the building, the lock
haing been broken and the door pried
open. A canvas, kept down in the
cellar had been placed around the
safe and it is thought that this aided
in deadening the sound Of the ex-
plosion.
Contents of the rear room were
strewn about the floor and every
showcase was opened. Several
boxes down in the basement of the
store had been broken into, but it was
plain that money and dope were the
main plunder sought.
The gas pump of the Westland
Oil Company was also broken and
ten gallons of gas stolen.
Authorities have investigated the
case and are still on the trail Of the
thieves, but no workable clues are
available at this writing that will
shed any light on who committed the
act.

PARTISAN TELEPHONE TROUBLES

Commenting on the Partisan
telephone system, which is own
ed and operated by the govern
ment, The Paris Times says:
"Often enough, machine will
be out of order for days or weeks.
The administration does not
press itself to make repairs, as
would a private company. Nor
does it offer any payment to com
pensate for interruption of ser
vice.
when a subscriber, unhope
full but desirous of means OF
expressing his feelings, appeals
to the complaint department, he
must pay for the call.
THESE are some of the re
asons why most Parisians would
rather walk a mile than go thru
the difficulties of q telephone
call. These are reasons why
thousands of apartments which
should normally be equipped
with telephones do not have
them. These are reasons why
the government probably makes
less from its monopoly than il
would receive in taxes from ar
efficient private company willing
to give service"
