Plan to Erect Modern Funeral
Home Here This Coming
Spring

NJ. s. Nelson and G. f. Fulkerson.
undertakers at Plentywood and Med
icine Lake respectively have joined
forces and have filed articles of incor-
poration of their new organization
which will operate under the firm
name of "Fulkerson-Nelson Mortuary
Inc" and with Z capital stock of
$4,000.
The two members of the firm have
worked together for a number Of
years and the incorporation was
largely matter Of form to enable
them to bring about several improve
ments to their business that they
might serve the public more effective
ly.
Chief among the improvements in
prospects for the near future is a new
mortuary or funeral home which will
be modern and up to date in every
respect. The building of this structure
is contemplated for next spring. In
the meantime they will continue to
use the building at the rear of the
Riba State Bank Building formerly
used as an office by DR.. Steele.
Both Mr.. Nelson and Mr.. Fulker-
son are too well known in this vicin-
ity to acquire any elaboration as to
their qualifications for serving the
public in this type Of work. Mr.. Mel
son has acted as undertaken locally
for the past IS years and Mr.. Fulker-
son at Medicine Lake since 1915. The
latter gentleman, being a licensed
embalmer, has worked in this vicinity
and is practically as we'll known here
as in his home town.
In addition to his duties as UNDER
taker, Mr.. Nelson is coroner Of Sher-
idan County, an official position lie
has held for the past nine years.
Mr.. Fulkerson will continue to re-
side on his farm near Medicine Lake
as in the past, but viii be active in
the assistance of Mr. Nelson when
ever an emergency arises requiring
his service.
Much new equipment is being added
and will be added from time to time,
and with the new funeral home com
pleted Plentywood will have the finest
and best equipped funeral home to be
found in Eastern Montana.

STATE FIELD NURSE
REPORTS RESULTS
OF COUNTY SURVEY
Believes County Should Have
Full Time Nursing
Service

Miss Alma Wretling the state field
nurse has completed her two months
assignment in Sheridan County. Her
work is financed by Montana Tuber-
culosis Association and the State
Department of Public Health The
share paid by Montana tuberculosis
Association is made available to the
county through the sale of Christmas
Seals. A large percentage of the
money raised each year is returned
in the form of nursing service.
While in the county Miss Wretling
completed the inspection of the grade
and high school pupils in six Of the
schools conducting accredited high
school. She would have reached the
seventh school having a high school
if the roads and weather had remain
ed favorable.
Thirteen rural one-room schools
and three two-teacher schools also
received the nursing service.
Pre- school conferences were held in
Outlook, Westby Medicine Lake, Ray
mond and Antelope. The conference
in Antelope was we'll attended and
much interest manifested.
During her stay in the county Miss
Wretling inspected 1648 children, ad-
vising them in regard to correction
of 1928 physical defects. 34S child
rem were found to be 10 per cent or
more under the standard weight for
height and age, or in other words
malnourished. Eight babies and 20
pre-school children were also weighed
and measured and mothers advised
regarding care and training.
Miss Wretling considers Sheridan
County large and prosperous enough
to have a full time county nursing
service. Only by such program
can adequate follow up work be made.
The tuberculosis Christmas Seal
Sale opens November 20 and closes
December "a. We hope everyone in
terested in health work will be sure
to remember that rs per cent of the
funds received from the sale of the
Christmas Seals will be expended by
the state for field and county public
health nursing service, or for a
health camp project. Everyone who
purchases Christmas seals not only
helps the community, but helps in the
fight to wipe out tuberculosis.

OVER 12,OOO HEAD
OF LIVESTOCK TO
Be AT INT. EXPO,
Number Far in Excess of Any
Previous Show AT
Chicago

When the International livestock
Exposition opens at Chicago the
last of this month new high record
for the number of animals on exhlb-
It will be established announces 8. n.
Heide, secretary of this worlds larg-
est agricultural show.
Over 10000 head Of the choicest
livestock, horses, cattle sheep and
swine-which the world produces, will
be on view Opening at the Chicago
Stock Yard on November 80, the first
Saturday, following Thanksgiving
the exposition will be in progress un-
til December 7th.
Cattle Entries Increase
Entries were received in the cattle
department in such numbers and re-
preventative of such quality that the
management predicts with surety the
largest and most impressive exhibit
of cattle ever seen at the lnterna-
tional Sheep, swine and horses
maintain their high totals established
at the 1923 exposition. An astound-
ing growth, practically 100 per cent,
in the number of farm boys and girls
showing livestock will be witnessed
in the coming event.
Some idea of the truly information
al cope of this exposition and the far
distance from which contestants
travel to participate is obtained upon
glancing the preliminary exhibit
or list. Take the Shorthorn breed as
an example. Nominations from Mas
sachusetts will meet those from Cal
ifornia and several of Ontario's fore
most "red white and roam" heads will
be matched with those of Texas
Similar with the Herefords, herds
will assemble at Chicago on this oc-
casion from such separate points OF
the compass as Alberta, Oklahoma
West Virginia and California.
Educational Side Stressed
Educational exhibits this year
promise to be as fascinating as they
are instructive. The United States
Department of Agriculture will be a
large exhibitor; so will the State Ag-
ricuture Experiment Stations, where
scientists are each year making new
and important discoveries of prac-
tical significance to the man or wo-
man living on the farm, which this
exposition serves to spotlight to pub
lie attention.
Bolstered by thousands of practical
examples of perfection on all sides in
the form of livestock and crops ex-
hibits, these educational tablaus make
the International more than a great
show or a spectacle. 1t is in effect
an Eight Day University" where the
city man can gain knowledge while
being entertained, and where the
farm expert however proficient he is
can still proftably learn from fellow
experts.

that when she started to run away he
grabbed her and pushed her into the
car where the attack was consumated.

Coordination of business and gov
ernmental agencies in action for con
tinued business progress motives
President Hoover in calling labor, in
dustrial and agricultural leaders to
the White House for a conference.
The call is timed well. 1t comes
as the country generally has been
taking stock following collapses of a
great speculative activity to find that
there is nothing of real consequence
the matter with it, while there is
considerable delayed constructive ac-
tivity ahead of it worthy of imme-
date attention.
The proportions Of the speculative
activity were in themselves reassur-
ing. 1t would have been impossible
in country where the average of
people did not have firm faith in the
fundamental soundness Of its future
and it's resources. 1t is regrettable
that it assumed the proportions of a
popular hysteria and finally got out
of bounds, swayed by psychological
influences Of fear and unjustified
panic.
In the inevitable reajustment that
followed certain facts stand out in
bold relief. Among them are these:
A great proportion of the losses re-
corded in the speculative activity are
paper losses, not actual losses.
There is just as much money in the
country as there was before the tidal
wave of selling billowed over Wall
Street.
The diversion of billions to spec
ulation in the security market Great
ed monetary situation hampering
legitimate business development.
This was one Of the chief underlying
causes Of the stock market collapse.
AS optimism is contagious, pessi-
mism is contagious. We have just
witnessed extremes of both. In
neither case were they warranted by
the fundamental facts. There were
tragic losses, of course, but they are
somewhat mitigated by the fact that
there is golden and unlimited oppor-
tunity to retrieve them, at least in
part, just ahead
American business is a great dem
ocracy, better led and better directed
in the main than any business sys-
TEN upon earth and more human in
its aspects. 1t never shirks it's re-
sponsibilities to social system ded-
icated first to the prosperity, happi-
ness, progress and increased oppor
tunity Of average men and women.
Proof OF this is found in the fact
that speculative activities such as we
have witnessed would be impossible in
any country on continental Europe.
If they are in measure the price Of

schools of Sheridan County will be
directed by Miss Ethel Singleton,
who has accepted the Craftsmanship
and will take charge of the sale. for
the Montana tuberculosis Associa-
tion.
"This camraign will open on
THANKSGIVING Dav. and will continue
until Christmas" said Miss Single
ton in discussing plans. 81 hope that
our contribution will help toward
making this the most successful sale
ever held If we stop to think that
our pennies will be of help in saving
lives, I am certain we shall have no
trouble in selling the seals"
Part of the money raised is kent
by the Montana tuberculosis Associa-
tion to finance its program of case
finding and following up, furnishing
supplies to tuberculosis patients,
early diagnosis campaigns, advisory
service on tuberculosis problems, ex-
hibits, poster contest and the distribu-
tion of literature.
When a community wishes public
health nursing service, seventy-five
per cent of the seal sale can be used
locally. This amount is also allowed
for summer health camps. For under
weight children, supplies for schools
such as scales, first aid kit, books and
magazines, fifty per cent of the mon
ev is returned to the community
or school.
The seal sale offers communities
an opportunity to raise money to be
used locally and at the same time te
contribute to the statewide battle
against the two great white plaques
