Many Tagged Car
Owners Report
April Applications For Car
Licenses Exceed Past
Records

Applications for automobile licens-
es during the past month far exceed
ed any previous month in the his
tory of Sheridan county, $10,3O3 be-
ing paid out for licenses by auto own
ers of the county during the month
of April.
An active tagging campaign insti-
tuted by Sheriff Madsen, was large
ly responsible for the results obtain
ed. Cars without 1929 license plates
attached to them were tagged with
out fear or favor and the summons
on the tags to "Report to the Sher-
ifs Office" was needed.
Several among those reporting to
the sheriff had to pay amounts for
their licenses that were greatly in
excess of the regulation fees-these
being car owners who had paid no
license fees for several years. In
these cases they had to pay the full
license fees for each year that they
were in arrears.
The amount paid out thus far this
year for auto licenses in Sheridan
county is slightly in excess of $21 900
Of which $4,000 accrues to the road
fund of the county.

Wear a Poppy
Memorial Day
Honor the Dead, And Help
Living Disabled
Vets

Saturday May 25, will be observed
as Poppy Day in Plentywood Un-
der the auspices of the local Legion
Auxiliary organization, artificial
poppies, the handwork of disabled
veterans in Montana government hos
pitals, will be sold to the public.
Eight little girls have been assigned
the duty of canvassing the business
and residence districts of the city.
The public is urged to respond cheer
fully and literally when addressed
by one Of these little girls.
The meaning and purpose of Pop
py Day is we'll set forth in an editor
ial in Good Housekeeping Magazine
which in part says:
The wearing of the poppy draws
its wide appeal from its dual pur-
pose of honoring the dead and serv-
ing the living. Every red flower on
a lapel on Memorial Day means that
the wearer has thought of the men
who lie beneath the poppies overseas,
and has contributed something to the
relief and rehabilitation of the men
who are still fighting the long, long
battle. We have told you here the
story of the Legion Auxiliary pop
pies. They deserve your help. May
the poppies bloom DER all your hearts
on Memorial Day"

Street Angel"
Unique Production

"Street Angel" the Fox screen ver-
sion of the play by Monckton Hoffe,
viii be the feature at the Orpheum
Theatre, on Sunday and Monday
May 19 and 20. This picture again
rings together the triumverate re-
gponsibile for the successful screen
translation of the John Golden stage
lay "7th Heaven"-Janet Gaynor,
Charles Farrell and Director Frank
orzage.
In this new attraction, which
ONES to the Orpheum direct from it's
long run at the Globe Theatre, New
York the two youthful film lovers
ere transferred from the scenes of
their first triumph in the sewers and
attics of Paris to the streets and atel-
;ers of Naples.
Miss Gaynor will be seen as a waif
of the wharf who joins small trav-
cling circus in order to free herself
from the persecution of the Neopol-
tan gendermes. Farrell portrays
the role of an itinerant Italian artist
who enamoured by her charm, fol-
lows her about the countryside.
Director Borzage, who is of Ital-
AN parentage, has long been stud
ent of Latin manners and customs,
but despite his lifelong familiarity
with the theme Of the "Street Angel
he spent many weeks in and about
Naples while vacationing in Europe
last year, gathering data and atmos-
phere which was to aid him in bring
ing the story to the screen.

Two Splendid Rains
During The Past Week

Sheridan county's crop prospects
have improved immeasurably the
past week due to two splendid rains
that visited this region, one last Fri
day and the other Tuesday. Tuesdays
precipitation was especially beneficial
as most Of it was turned
to snow and, melting slowly, soaked
into the ground with a minimum
amount of drainage. Seeding is well
advanced and on majority Of farms
completed, and much of the grain is
up. Field work is held up for the
present, but the ground is rapidly
drying and work should resume in
the course Of another day.

Library Notes

A new novel in the library is The
Romantic Comedians by Ellen Glas-
gov. The romantic comedians were
happiness hunters. They held to the
immemoral illusion that love and
happiness were the same thing. This
is the story Of one of them-Judge
Gamaliel Bland Honeywell. DR.. JOS
eph Collins, one of the first readers
of this book said: "The story is the
illusion of Perpetual Youth and Judge
Honeywell is Man External"
Telling the story of the dangerous
age the other way around and writ
ing with delicious wit, deep in irony,
the author here gives us brilliant
picture of the sentimental tradition
of Southern chivalry and the modes
and morals Of the new South.
Mr.. E. G. Ferguson has presented
the library with a years subscription
to the magazine, Outdoor America.
The magazine is the official publica-
tion of the Isaak Walton Legue. 1t
should be of interest to all these
people interested in outdoor sports.
This gift is very much appreciated
and is "a valuable addition to the lib
rary.

Mrs. Otto Stadig and son left last
week for Fort Benton for visit.
The trip was made by car and un-
fortunately an accident that might
have been serious occurred. Two
other cars were racing along the
highway and in their desire to win
neither stopped when they were pass
ing Mrs. Stadig in her car. The road
at that point was wide but not wide
enough for three cars travelling side
by side AS consequence her car
was forced off the road causing the
wind shield to be broken and other
small damages to the car. Neither
Mrs. Stadig nor her son were injured.

BIG ACREAGE IN PURE SEED
PLANTED IN SHERIDAN CO.
Adapted Varieties Extensive
ly Used By Sheridan
Farmers
Importance of Using Adapted
Varieties for Increased
Production Seen

Although the pure seed work has
been carried OH through the County
Extension office in this county for
the past several years, it was not
until this spring that farmers thru
out the entire county realized the
Importance Of using the adapted var
ieties to increase the yield and quail
ity Of their crops. This year there
will be several thousands of acres
planted to registered wheat, barley,
oats and flax. Marquis wheat still
remains the leading variety that may
be registered by the Montana Seed
Growers Association and is the var
iety extensively used in Sheridan
County. The growers who were the
source of supplying registered wheat
in this county were Lars Angvick,
Reserve; Ole Nelson, Homestead, and
George OVERLY, Plentywood. These
three growers supplied registered
wheat to over fifty farmers in Sheri-
dan County and there were also two
carloads of registered wheat shipped
to North and South Dakota.
AS Sheridan County ranks first in
flax production, many growers are
using the registered varieties which
are Newland and Reserve for seed
this year. Although there has been
a big demand for flax from all sec
items Of the state, farmers in Sheri-
dan County have secured their sup
ply Of seed flax this year and many
orders have been sent from this
county to all sections of the state.
Barley being one of the best feed
crops for livestock, the acreage plan
ted to this crop is rapidly increas-
ing, which indicates that farmers are
feeding more hogs than ever before
IN this county. Horn barley being
the variety that gives the best Yields
in this section of Montana, the de-
nand for registered Horned barley
has been supplied our registered
growers from other counties.
The names of farmers in this
county who have planted registered
grain of the following varieties for
1929 crop are as follows:
Barley-Harry Sparkling, George
Shields, Christ Dahlgaard, Leon AL
berts, George Points.
