NAL ST. CLAIR
HAS REAL TEST
In DIPLOMACY

Stars will be starsl
That is unless the director is a
clever diplomat.
ct those who will think it is
easy to take three notables of the
film world-each of whom has
starred in many pictures-put
them all in one film, and then bal
ance the roles.
Nal st. Clair passed through
such a diplomatic test in making
"Side Street." Radio Pictures all
talking production, coming to the
Orpheum Theatre, Wednesday and
Thursday, Nov. 1914. This feature
for the first time in history, brings
Tom, Owen and Matt Moore into
one film offering. Friendly fam
lily rivalry, according to St. Clair,
was a decided asset in the making
of "Side Street." because each
member of the clan Moore did his
level best to make their initial
picture, the best of his respective
career.
The Moores, brothers by blood,
appear as brothers in this talking
film from the pen of George o.
Hara, former film star. Tom is
seen as a New York traffic Off
GER; Matt as a police surgeon; and
Owen as a king of racketeers, al
though he keeps his profession a
secret from his brothers until the
denouement comes and he pays for
his profession with his life.

Logan Murder Mystery
Is Still Unsolved

Mystery still shrouds the
identity of the person or per-
sons who murdered Raymond
Logan of Daleview, a week ago
last Saturday, three miles west
of Plentywood.
Hans Madsen, the sheriff, is
: reported to be still working on
the clue left by one Jack
Smith, alias Anderson, who
left the Grandview Hotel,
some time between midnight
: Saturday, October 26 and Sun
day morning following, leav-
; ing his baggage. Smith did
not return and he is reported
to have gone to North Dakota.
Whether Jack Smith was di-
rectly involved in the crime or
; not, there are people who be-
lieve that the murder of Lo-
gan was motivated by rivalry
over a woman, who is report
ed 10 have toyed with the af-
fectiOns of the deceased and
another man who made his
; livelihood outside the law.
Last week The Producers
News stated that the muir,
dered man was laid to rest in
Plentywood but we have since
been informed that he was

4-H ACHIEVEMENT
DAY Is CANCELLED

The countrywide All Clubs
Achievement Day program
that was to be held in Plen-
tywood on Saturday, Novem-
ber 9th, has been cancelled
on account of the road condi-
tions being practically impas-
sable. Very few members in
the outlying districts would be
able to attend on account of
the road conditions so there
is a possibility of so few be-
ing able to participate in the
All Achievement Day Pro-
gram that it is thought by
those in charge that the pos
sibility of a small attendance
would not warrant the expense
of holding the program.
All the All Clubs have been
encouraged to hold a Local
Achievement Day Program in
their community and invite
the parents of members and
others interested to attend the
Achievement Meeting and in
spect the work that the club
members have been carrying

The reason given for the change
from Armistice day is that the

Stewart Reviews Tragedy
\ In Life OF Albert 3. Fall
By CHARLES P. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

Washington, Nov. 6.-At first
thought one hardly appreciates the
tragedy in the life story of Albert
B. Fall for all it really means.
A poor, stricken old mani
ruined and in dishonor on the brink
of the grave, after lording it
among the mightiest in the landl
whom it is impossible not to pity,
no matter what he may have done!
This comes readily enough to
mind.
But there is worse.
Fall takes his place among AM
erica's national villains. A histor-
ic scoundrel! The first culprit ev-
er found guilty of a felony COM
mitted as member of the cabinet
itself A unique crime! Children
books, after Fall has been dead for
boos, after Fall has been dead for
generations. The perpetration of
an enormity comparable to Bene-
dict Arnold's.
We think of Fall as sitting, in
his wheel chair, in the shadow of
conviction for bribe-taking, in his
high office, because of his sale of
vast stores of government oil 70
Edward L. Doheny, for a beggarly
100000 payment into his own poe
ket.
Which is quite true, literally.
But for the purposes of the story
it is more dramatic to think of him
as sitting where he does because
of fight he had with stranger
who crossed his path in the most
casual way-but fateful meeting
and a fateful quarrel they proved
to be, for Albert B. Fall.

| Withou ia practice in his new
environment, and realizing that 1t
would be slow work to build one
up, he was looking about for some
thing, with an income in it, to DO.

The Mighty Plane Arrives
Shortly after four watchers saw
a thin line against the sunset. It
was the mighty Russian mono
plane, with its body strangely
flat, its wings strangely long. On
either side was a Ford plane, the
Curtiss field escorts.
AS the weird powerful-looking
bird passed over the crowd a deep
roar burst from the multitude, and
the band struck up the Budyenny
march. The Land of the Soviets
circled to the open field, far from
the welcomers. Some of them had
been waiting since eleven o'clock.
They could not wait any longer.
Climbing over and under fences,
bursting through the line of police.
thousands of men, women and chill
dren ran shouting and waving their
red flags, toward the still rapidly
moving plane. Police took to their
motorcycles, blew all their whistles
and their sirens, and arrived IN
time to keep the crowd from press
ing in against the propellers. AS
the plane maneuevered into the
hangar, the crowd followed close
ly, undaunted by a stinging sand
storm from the propeller draft.
Flags of Two Republics.
Shestakov placed the American
flag and the red flag together at
the front of the place. There was
defeaning applause, and at least
20 different groups started to sing
the International in different keys.
1t was one great amorphous shout.

City Attorney Erickson was
there, and so was Clerk Deb
ing, and City Treasurer Err
ickson in their respective sta
tions. The rest of the cham
Der was occupied by those
outside of the city who did
not want to come in and those
inside who insisted that those
outside should come inside
and stay inside.
The first business on the pro-
gram was the reading of the min
utes of the last regular and the
special meetings, including the
reading of the ordinance extending
the boundary lines of the city.
After this was over, the Mayor in
his usual dignity directed those
having business with the city dads
to draw near, and as the special
order of business was the hearing
of those protesting the extension
of the city limits, which was also
the matter of foremost interest,
his honor called upon the protest
ors to proceed.
The first man to protest was YeI
Olde Tymer, C. S. Nelson. Editor
Nelson said that he could not af-
ford to pay city taxes on his farm:
ne just could not afford it. He
had put part of his farm in the
city already. He said there was
no sense in incorporating all out
doors into the limits of Plenty
wood. and the act was unjust to
him.
Then Carl Peterson rose from
his seat. He said as how he was
not opposed to coming into Plenty
wood as he liked the city very
much, but he did not like the way
the city had of leading a horse to
water and forcing it to drink, as
the Mayor and Aldermen had done.
1t smacked of Mussolini to him. He
never did put much store by
trickery.
Tom Kelly then made his protest.
He could not afford to come in. It
would raise his taxes and they
were higher now than he. could
pay. He said he had put lot of
money into the county seat fight
years ago, and had paid plenty of
city taxes and that though he was
practically in the city he should be
left as he is off the city tax roll.
He said he would not come in un-
less he had TO.

"Hey Rube," Howled Hall
AS He Swung Nit on Cop
LATE FLASH

Rube JOrgensen has resign
from his position as city pO-
liceman on request.
Rushing to a confinement
case in his automobile, DIR. C.
Nj. Hall, local physician, made
a wrong turn on the main
street of the bustling city of
PlentywoOd last Monday and
ran into trouble in the person
of Rube JOrgensen, the emil
nent policeman.
DIR. Hall, who appears to
take his profession seriously,
thought he should be as much
entitled to take Liberties with
traffic regulations as our fire
department hurrying to a con-
flagratiOn. Where life is at
stake, the Doctor thought, a
man ON his errand of mercy
should have the right of way.
But Rube. like most law en-
fOrcement officers could not
see beyond the narrow limits
of his job SO placed obstacles
in the way Of Doctor Halls
progress. Rather disturbed by
Rube's interruption the Doctor
disturbed Rube by applying a
"gOing over" that would make
a present day flapper blush
Rube decided that this was
too much for the majesty of
the law and for Rube's feel
ings so ordered DIR. Hall to
appear in court that evening.
We learn that the Doctor
consulted legal authority as to
his rights and then decided not
to appear in court until a war
rant demanding that he bring
his body before the judge was
served on him. When this for
maIity was complied with DIR.
Hall appeared before Justice
Wheeler and pleaded not gull
ty.
The next scene in this stir
ring wild-west drama viii be
