DON'T THROW THE GAME

Today's issue of The Herald on page 7 presents the
second of the series of full page articles directing the atten-
ton of P~lentywood and adjoining communities to the loyal
ty necessary to make this a BETTER CITY in which to live.
Mayor Belanski has struck the keynote in his letter to
the citizens when he writes-lT IS A NATTER Oh DUTY
to consider the things most fundamental in advancing this
city.
In athletic contests which promise to be red hot" ones,
our citizens turn out in full force to support our home teams
that is one form of loyalty. In our national games. if your
~neighbor started to yell for the opposing team, you would
kick him in the shins or pull his hat down over his eyes.
WHIP It's because you have the spirit of loyalty in your
heart towards our team.
If you were the manager Of the team and the game was
a tie score and one of the players threw" the game to the
opposing team, you would fire him at once for giving the
game away. Did you ever stop to think that this grand old
game is going on every day Of the year-right here in Plen-
tywood. Would you throw the game3 By that do you feel
that you are playing fair with the balance of your team
your neighbors, by deliberately or unintentionaly throw
ing this game "Plentywoods Business Dollar away3
Let's all play the game for everything in it-and make
this Dollar of ours do its duty until the last, giving every
player on the team-every merchant in Plentywood a square
deal at this old game of business and social life right here
in ~Plentywood.

1T LOOKS GOOD UP THIS WAY

Let's see, it was Patrick Henry. wasn't it, who said
something to the effect that the only way we have OF judg-
ing the future is by the past?
When Pat said that he was viewing with alarm and
urging all within his hearing to fight.
A retrospect of the recent past in Plentywood and
Sheridan county calls for no such state Of mind or e~xpedient.
Things look good. The fighting is over-at least for the
most part-and this region. judging by last years crop, the
general progress made, the trend of election and the calm
that followed in its wake, gives every promise for 1929 of
being the most happy and prosperous in this region S history
Wheat prices, of course are low and wheat raising is
Sheridan countys basic industry. There is, however, no
business depression in Plentywood or Sheridan county. Few
indeed are the communities the size of Plentywood that have
enjoyed as substantial growth as PlentyWood did this sum-
mer. Stores and business places in general report a splendid
run of business in 1923; more new cars have been sold in
1928 than in any other previous period and the bank reports
reflect most impressively a sound financial state in the com
munity.
In the election of Herbert Hoover, agriculture has every
reason to expect an improvement of conditions affecting it.
Hoover's ability as an executive cannot be questioned, nor
can his understanding OF general conditions as they exist
throughout the country. The needs of agriculture were
given foremost consideration in the late presidential cam
paign. The pledges made will be is a man of
deeds. not words, and with his ascendency to the position OF
the nation S chief executive, agriculture has much to expect
of re-assuring nature. That means much for Plentywood
and vicinity.
The local political fracus that flared up intermittently
and at times obscured the big issues propounded by Hoover
and Smith, waxed SO hot that it appears to have burned it
self out-at least for the time being. Two factions locked
horns and the victory won by one side was SO decisive that
aftermath discussions are entirely out of order. 1t presents
a hopeful and encouraging state OF affairs. The newly ell
ected officers have the assurance that they have an over
whelming majority Of the people on their side and that they
have it in their power to remedy the conditions that have
been a source Of dissatisfaction in the past.
Yes, things look good for Plentywood and Sheridan
county tor this coming season-no Utopia, by any means
there may be slip-ups and experimentation always
are-but absolutely no need for any clarion calls to arms,
hymns OF hate, employment of such metaphors as chains
and slavery, or revolt, for it over a region started out the
year with more encouraging prospects tor the immediate tu-
ture than Sheridan county and Plentywood, we are at a loss
to know where it might be.

"CLIPPING ANO SWEATING
IN FORMER TINES GOLD COINS
WERE THUS ROBBED OF
PART OF THEIR VALUE.

Did you ever clip a coin? Prob
ably no, but doubtless our ancestors
did. Thrifty people not so many
years ago rarely let a gold coin go
through their hands without filing
off some of the metal. The "sweat-
ed coins, too, by shaking them in a
bag for hours. afterwards collect
ing the tiny particles that became
detached. The goldsmiths did a
thriving business in clippings and
sweatings." which they were always
ready to buy. Of course, the cur

ary one did, every one condoned, with
he exception of the storekeepers.
who weighed each piece, accepting it
not at its face value, but according
o its weight.
The colored illustration that feat
ares the fifth folder in the "Money
md Civilization Series" which is BE-
ng distributed by the Farmers and
Merchants State Bank of Plentywood
manages to tell this entire story at a
glance. 1t has been said that the
degree of any peoples civilization
IAN be told by their money and how
hey use it. Coins have been in ex-
stence for thousands of years, but
the money of civilization belongs tc
he present. Only recently has il
been controlled, and only within a
comparatively few years has it been
so universally accepted and believed
n that we no longer think Of it
We take it for granted.
The long story Of the slow and
gradual development of money is be-
ng %splendidly told in this series of
'olders. The relation of money to
progress is too little understood. 1t
takes a war or a social catastrophe
iuch as some nations of Europe have
been through in the last few years
to make US appreciate the %soundness
Of our money and the relation that
it has to our peace of mind and our
prosperity. No one can read these
articles without a more intelligent
idea of this everyday subject hat
touches all of US so closely.
