Governors Impeachment"
Causes Stir At Mildly
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
Mildly, Jan. 9.-Wild cheers
and much enthusiasm greeted
the reports received here recently
through the medium of Mos
covite periodical, that concerted
action is being brought about to
impeach Governor Erickson.
The Governors Teapot Dome,
the publication states, inspired
an editorial to be published in
their columns some time ago
which "has caused much discus
sion and no little CONSERVATION
in the capitol"
The publication did not state
whether the Teapot Dome refer
red to was that rocky formation
that has figured so prominently
in national scandal or whether
it was merely that organs fan
tastic way of designating Gov
ernor Erickson's head, but it
AYERS that 'it is currently re-
ported" to be very, very grave
affair involving the state and
national constitution, school
teachers and insurance agents.
No names were give as to who
would head the forces demanding
the governors impeachment, the
names evidently having inadver-
tently been omitted by the rad
ical weekly, but the progress of
this great undertaking will be
watched from time to time with
great interest.

Will Show Soviet Govt.
How to Raise Wheat

Los Angeles, Jan. 4.-The Times
today published an announcement by
Thomas d. Campbell, of Hardin,
Mont, who is said to be Americas s
largest wheat grower, that ten mil
hon acres of Soviet Russia's plains
is to be planted to wheat and flax
with American machinery under his
direction.
Campbell stated he would sail from
New York January II for Russia to
complete agreements tentatively en-
tered into during recent visit to
this country of a Soviet commission.
After the selection of the vast ac-
reage, Campbell said that more than
$l00,000,000 worth OF American
planting and harvesting machinery
would be purchased for the work.
The object of the Russians, he con-
tinued, is to apply American methods
to the problem of raising food to
feed the Russian people.
An official commission of seven
Russian wheat growers and engineers
extended the invitation to Campbell
to spend three months a year in Rus
sia directing the job. The second
commission visited him, Campbell
said, few weeks ago, after which
he agreed to go to Russia to confer
with government heads on the final
arrangements.

Fed. Officers
Raid Three
Local Joints
Sheriff Madsen and Deputy
With Marshall Collins
Assist in Raid.
Quantity of Alleged Liquor
Confiscated As
Evidence.

Plentywood was rendered the driest
last Tuesday evening tnat ii ms been
since way back when well, ios hard
to figure when pllntl wood Was 50
parchedly dry.
Several federal agents, tie sher-
III and his deputies agd the local po-
lice, swooped down and raided thl.a
joints, sand to be the three renain-
ing pigs in the town. and placed
their owners under arrest.
The raid was well timed, planned
and executed, each place Icing rad
ed at the same time lercby avoiding
any possibility of tip-o1f and the
owners of the three places, namely
Otto Stadig, Pete Stewart and Chas.
Howard were placed under arrest al
ter a quantity Of liquor was coulis-
Gated
The amount Of alleged liquor was
small, but Of a quantity sufficient,
1t IS said, to incrlminate the three
parties arrested
The arrested men were taken be-
fore Commissioner IL. L. Belanski lat
er in the evening where they waived
preliminary hearing and Stewart
and Howard were bound over to the
Federal term of district court.
Stadig was turned over to the muAi-
cipal authorities where he pleaded
guilty to the charge of maintaining
a nuisance and was fined 500 and
costs and given, in addition, sas-
pended sentence Of GO days.
The cases of Stewart and Howard,
should they result III Il conviction,
will in all probability mean the
closing OF their places by abatement.
Sheriff Madsen and Deputy Robert
Smith, cooperating with the federal
authorities took note Of evidences OF
gambling activities, but found none
Of the poker tables, slot machines
and other gambling parapheraaiia
that it is alleged, was very much in
evidence before the new sheriff as
sumed his duties.
Whether or not the results of this
raid will put a quietus on the actlv-
tiles of the places affected ana others
similarly treated in raids Of the re-
cent past, is matter Of conjecture,
but it Is quite certain that the Vol
sead Act will not be as brazenly
flounted as it has been in the recent
past.
The raid was conducted by Otto
Wadell, prohibition agent Of this
district, assisted by Pat Gould, J Il.
Melville and Harry McGee, border
patrolmen; Ted Winters, customs IN
spector; Sheriff Hans p. Madsen and
Deputy Sheriff Robert Smith, and o.
j. Collins, local police officer.

than ten per cent. Added to this, the
fact that the adjoining property in
several nstances-notewor in the
case of the Moe Mercantile building
fire--the buildings were Of a frame
construction and would have caused
a tremendous loss had there been
any spread of the flames.
Considering this, the department is
worthy of especial praise for its eff
ficient work.

partment responded to:

Vagabonds Victorious

Grenora basketeers again proved to
be duck soup" for the Plentywood
Vagabonds at game at Grenora
last Wednesday evening. The locals
played clean heady game and were
victors by score Of % to T.
Paul Benin was the chief scorer of
the evening, accounting for half of
the points made. Howe, playing for
the locals the last four minutes of
play also showed up to a decided ad-
vantage, scoring a basket in the
short time allotted for him to play.
The playing was remarkably
clean and free from fouls, only two
fouls being chalked up against the
Vagabonds. From all appearances
Grenora basket ball fans were we'll
impressed by the showing made by
the victors.

REDSTONE SCHOOL

Other Interesting Items Con.

The Gypsy Rover recently played
by pupils Of the Redstone schools
was a huge success. Miss Naomi

director of plays and real artist in
painting stage scenery. Miss Gwen
dolyn Matkin furnished the music.
Medicine Lake, Comertown, Ante

schools closed early before the holi-

derstand the epidemic has subsided
and, so far as we know, all schools

When visiting our rural schools
we found over-crowded conditions
Prevailing in the following: View
Hill, District No. 1; Gibson, District
No. q; Beverly, District No. "a;
Alcott, District No. n. All these
buildings need to be added to or re-
placed by new buildings before the
opening Of another school year. We
hope these communities will consider
this matter seriously before the APP
I'll election.
A month of perfect attendance is
record any school can be proud of.

Scientists say that ten million
years will bring little change in the
human race and that Americans then
will look just as they do now. Maybe
so, but we would suggest that the
scientists study how the women
looked from thirty to sixty years ago.

BLIZZARD THREATENS

The open winter which this region
has enjoyed for many weeks seems
seriously threatened by a young
blizzard which as the day has pro-
gressed has increased in its severity.
Fortunately there has not been
enough snow to block the roads and
little prospect Of more coming with
this batch Of weather.

Plentywood School Notes

The total sale of Christmas seals
for Plentywood was $142.39. This
was little less than last years
sale but still it should entitle this
schoo to at least one weeks time of
the visiting nurse.
The silver offering received at the
Christmas program given by the
high school glee club amounted to
$2675. This amount was sent to the
Montana Childrens' Home at Helena.
The amount of $55.61 was collect
ed by the sale of hearts by the pu-
pills of the third and fourth grades.
This amount was also sent to the
Montana Children's Home at Helena
The third grade collected the largest
amount Of money.
1t Happens in Best of Communities
When Percival arrived at school on
the opening day. he carried the fol-
lowing note to the teacher: Dear
Teacher: Our sweet little Percival
is very delicate nervous child, and
if he is naughty--and he is likely to
be naughty at times-just punish the
boy next to him, and it will frighten
him so that he will be good"
Pupils in our schools should not
complain because in Bulgaria, pupils
in high school are not permitted to
go to the movies or to public enter
tainments at night without special
permission, even if they are accom-
panied by their parents.
Efforts are being made to raise the
membership in the school band to 30
members. Parents who have planned
on buying instruments for their
children should do so before the pres
ent contract with C. G.. Conn Instru-
ment company automatically cancels
itself by the leaving Of Supt. M. 0.
Glorvick. A saving of 30 per cent
can be had on all instruments and
cases.
Final examinations in high school
for the first semester begin Wednes-
day morning, January 10th.
