Poplar Band
Pays Visit

Plentywood was very pleasantly
entertained last Wednesday noon by
an open air band concert presented
by the Poplar High School Band,
which was making a tour of this re-
gion at that time in behalf of the
rodeo which the American Legion of
that city is staging June 2O-21-22.
1t was classy little band, attractive
ly attired in maroon and gold uni
forms, and they surely were there
with the poppy music The only crit
icism we have to offer was that they
didn't play more.

WibauX Flood
Cause of Plea
for Assistance
Ready Response is Imperative
AS Help Is Need Now
And Needed Badly
Sheridan County Quota Set
AT Four Thousand
Dollars

The National organization of the
American Red Cross has sent out an
S. 0. S. to its Montana Chapters.
The local officers at Plentywood
have received the following telegram
from Mr.. Walter Davidson, National
Chairman.
"Flood disaster Wibeaux has
created a serious situation. R. A.
Sheard our representative reborts
as follows: Three dead ten
homes totally destroyed twenty
five houses washed from founda-
tions seventy five houses serious
ly damaged with extensive de-
struction furniture property.
Stocks on hand business section
of city reported almost total loss.
Red Cross has assumed respon-
sibility for relief at request
local committee. Am requesting
collection twenty five thousand
relief fund by Montana Chapters.
Your quota four thousand.
Please remit collections promptly
this office"
Owing to the fact that so many OF
our farmers are still holding THEN
grain, because of the low prices, the
call could not have reached Sheridan
County at worse time. But, as
Howard M. Lewis, Chairman of the
local Chapter, pointed out today, il
an interview, if every man in Sheri
dan County contributed only a dollar
to alleviate the suffering Of the
people of Wibeaux, we would make
more than ample contribution. And
when to this fund are added the do
nations of the good women who arr
the bulwarks Of morality and decen
cy in our State, we shall more thar
exceed our quota.
A committee has been appointed
to solicit donations locally; and the
matter is put up to the chairmen Of
the local branches in all the Other
communities throughout Sheridan
County Any donations may be left
at either of the two banks.
1t is reported that the Glendive
community has raised many thousand
dollars for relief. The report comes
to US that, shortly after the disaster
the Glendive fire whistle blew, calling
all good citizens together: and that
scores of cars heavily laden with
provisions and with willing workers
left to succor their neighbors at
Wibeaux.
While comparatively few lives were
lost, tremendous damage was done to
the belongings of the Wibeaux
people. The town had been built in
the paths of the ancient floods; and.
when the cloudburst occurred, the
flood waters, to a depth of seven
feet, rushed through the city, carry
ing houses away as though they were
matchboxes. The buildings which
were firmly fixed in place were filled
with water and with silt. The report
comes, that when the floods subsided
most of the business houses had at
least four feet of mud covering their
floors, counters and showcases, and
OF course, running everything.
Hearty response to the call of the
Red Cross is urged; and undoubtedly
this Macedonian Call will be answer
ed generously and we'll by the people
of Sheridan County.

ding. And I wish that you
and I could persuade your
future siSter-in-law to realize
this. Don't you suppose we
can? She has no right in the
world to make any suggestion
as to whom you should choose
for your chief attendant. That
is one Of your sacred privi-
legeS, and nobody should make
any suggestions concerning it.
You may, if you wish, have
your two young sisters as maids
Of honor. 1 think this is a very
charming plan, even If they
are quite young. 1 wish you
had told me just how old they
are. But if you think they are
too young, then, by all means,
invite your girl friend to be
your chief attendant. Explain
to your siSter-in-law that this
is your choice, and that you are
very anxious to carry out this
plan. Be as pleasant hammered
as possible. II you are to have
bridesmaids, it would, of course,
be correct for you to invite
your bridegroom'S sister to be
one of the bridesmaids, but
even this is not absolutely nee
eSsary, even though customary.
Just as your SiSter.in.law-to-
be should not have anything to
say about your choice Of your
chief attendant, so you do not
make the choice of the best
man. The best man is chosen
by the bridegroom, and is in
vited by him. 1t is according
to custom for the bridegroom
to invite his brother to be his
best man, and it would seem
strange if your bridegroom did
not do this.

proves, in this respect, she shall,
after a period of four weeks,
be dropped from membership.
This resolution will. of course,

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'VE are constant readers Of
your column and certainly
have enjoyed your answers TO
puzzled ones.
I'VE are a club of girls rang
ing in age from II to 19 and
now have before us a question
which we feel must be an
swered by someone who under
stands the problems Of young
girls--one who will give us ad-
vice so that we may be able
to guide ourselves. And so
we have come to you with our
problem.
I'VE have been in existence
about six years as a club, and
we know each other like an
open book Among our mem
bers is one in particular who
Is rather forward in her ways
and looks-one who makes a
bad impreSsion-one whom we
are ashamed to introduce to
our friends, but who has a
heart of gold-one who would
be a real friend in need. We
feel that this is not the girls
fault entirely, as her parents
are apparently also ill-bred.
1--WE have taken up the mat
ter of speaking to the girl in a
real frank manner so that we
could make her see our side
of the story, but it seems as
though none of the girls can
pluck up enough nerve TO speak
to her on such vital subject.
While at the meetings and in
her company, we make re-
marks such as:
".Please don't speak so
loud!'
"'Oh, Ann, your hair looks
terrible! Can't you comb it?'
Your dress would be so
much more becoming if 1t
were a little longerp"
But she has such a good
hsGrt and is so willing to do
her utmost for another. >~-.
1--WE have even taken up the
matter of asking her to resign,
but, oh, how ungrateful that
will be, as she has been such
a good member, and up to the
minute in her dues! Yet some
of the mothers absolutely re-
fuse to let their daughters asso-
ciate with such girl.
I'VE are awaiting your reply
and trust that you will solve
our problem. We thank you.
PUZZLED ONES"
Yours is a very delicate prob
lem, is it not, girls! For you
love this member Of your club
and do not wish to hurt her,
yet she is so lacking in certain
niceties of manner. appearance
and conduct that she is outside
the pale of good breeding re-
uuired by your club.
One solution of your problem
occurs to me. Let one Of your
members prepare a resolution,
and introduce it at a business
meeting, declaring that in as
much as the parents of the
members object to their daugh-
ters associating with girls who

we near rumOrS concerning
the return of the pompadour.
When mother was a girl, she
loved it, and there was much
wailing and weeping when the
false upholstery was swept away
and hair fell flat. Couture for
tune-tellers visualize the POM
padour as the result of the
present mania for combing the
hair straight back from the
forehead.
Every woman past the age of
30 must keep a watchful eye on
her neck. When a neck starts
to toboggan and wreck itself, it
works fast. Treatment consists
of massage with heavy, nourish-
ing oils-a mixture of equal
parts of lanoline and cocobutter
is good-exercises that pull on
the muscles and strengthen
them, and breathing exercises

In order to preserve the marcel
wave, the average woman gives
her hair scant attention. 1t is
particularly important to mas
sage the scalp. The health IF
the hair depends upon the
blood vessels. and friction sends
them about their business.
With intelligence, almost any
woman can make herself at
tractive. Colorless femmes can
blossom out and become vivid,
plump ones can slim down ard
take tucks in their bodices,
silent ones can develop into
converSationaliStS. To presto
change into a more charming
type, the first need is to cast
off the fixed ideas. 1t is the
fixed idea that keeps the trump
frumpy.
Coiffures are no longer on the
shingle basis. Even when the
glory-crest is short, the back
hair should be thick and fairly
full. If there are wave lines,
they should go careering around
to the rear, Slanted lines being
preferred to those that extend
straight across the head. The
wind-blown has about blown
itself out, and the baCk-from-
the-face style is considered more
chic.
Compilations are sometimes as
finicky as delicate digestive or
gans. For no apparent reason
they suddenly go bolshevik. A
complexion that has been roses
and snow for years will take
on blotches and rush into a
cutaneouS riot of redneSs. The
sufferer invariably places the
blame on some cosmetic she is
using. Which is all wrong.
Medical specialists who treat
skin diseases are seldom able to
determine the exact cause of
