Buried Together
Mrs. Naomi Hall Brady, victim
Of the murderer's hate, and her
infant brother, Samuel Hall, aged
10 months, who died last night
at Sibley Hospital, will be buried
side by side in Mt. Oak Cemetery
near Mitch 'llv lille, Md. The
funeral Is at ! o'clock.
Little hope has been held out
for Dorothy Hall. 4, a sister Of
the dead woman, or for Mrs. Nora
Hall, As, her mother. Both are
in a critical condition. Injuries
to Mrs. Halls abdomen by the
blast and flying nails make her
condition almost hopeless.
Leslie Hall, 16, the brother who
brought the fatal package from
the neighbor,S home, where it lay
three days, was operated on last
night at Providence Hospital for
glass and nails in his stomach.
His condition is also critical.
Prince admits that his evidence
so far is circumstantial, but
points out that his quarry is the
only person known so far who
could possibly have had a motive
for wanting to kill Naomi Hall
Brady or her husband.

THAT DOG POIsONER AGAIN

Somewheres in Plentywood there is one human
being in whom the milk of human kindness has curdled,
and in its place reposes a sack of venomous snake
poison.
There is a little girl in P~entywood who cannot
play around the streets like other girls, For her the
sunshine and the flowers, the stars, the beautiful sun
sets, the movies and the thousand and one other things
that 60 to make up the beautiful things in life, are
a sealed book. For her, with her cropping hands, there
cannot be the same Joy in playing with toys as it would
be if she could see and know and understand. Blind
since her baby days, she can listen to the song birds.
to the radio and to the photograph and in these she
finds great enjoyment to pass away the long, long
hours, when she can hear the happy laughter Of
other little children. She can listen to her sisters and
brothers and to her parents, but it is not with her as
other little children.
But the Joy Of her life has been her little faith
full playmate who would fawn at her feet; who would
welcome her with a glad bark, and who did not mind
that she was blind-a little fox terrier dog. That
little dog was the joy Of her life, and helped her over
the stony pathways Of life, who was her constant COM
panion, and when she was hurt or felt put out about
something would always understand and come and lick
her hands, and soon would have her laughing again. A
little dog that harmed no one; who watched over little
Evelyn Thompson with the care of a guardian angel,
until a few days ago a human fend who must hate e-
erything living, deliberately poisoned this little dog,
who came crawling to his blind mistress feet and
with a whimper, gave up his life.
Had this been a vicious dog it would have been
different, but that was not the case. Just a little play-
mate for a blind girl, and who faithfully stayed by her
side, seemingly knowing she could not see as other
children can.
When this little dog was poisoned, two other
dogs got the same fate the same day and the same
hour. One was a valuable police dog pup, owned by
Iko Grammar md l. L%bo~ fo:ALrl
faithful watch dog who seldom left ]. f. Miler's pre-
misses. All these dogs were owned by people living in
the same block.
But for the little blind girl, there is no more
faithful playmate to meet her in the morning with a
glad bark, and to lead her about seeing where she
could not see. For her, life is dross as she weeps for
the faithful little dog that died at the hands of this
killer.
That little dog has gone from sound to silence.

BADGERING BY THE WOLVERINE

According to dame rumor, Taylor the bum check
artist and editor of the Producers Moose, must have
taken some thought Of the attitude the board Of direc-
tors held in wanting him to cut lose from the manage

is said on the streets that he is now looking for other
Ravens to which he will attempt to ship the wreck after
the foreclosure is completed after next election. o.

are now reported to be badgering down in the badger

Federal officers raided a cabaret

they left orders at the Producers Moose Office not to
pay any bills, and they slipped out of town like a
couple of Sinking sheep killers and the next line we got
on them was over in the Badger state, seeking a locs-
ton for a red propaganda sheet, and where the local
reds are aching to ruin the reputation Of the men who
have built up the community, by blackmailing and al
legged SANDER, the same as scores and hundreds have
been defled by the wolverine of the newspaper world.
Until the foreclosure is completed, if they can
get enough money from the pretended campaign they
may try to put across this fall, they will continue to
defle everyone they can think of in this territory.
We do not wish any community the same fate
that we have suffered during the Ia years of the visi-
tation Of this scourge, but when they are away from
Sheridan County the pollution is absent, the air is
sweeter and purer, and the dove of peace flies about
with its olive leaf, anxious to alight, and we hope soon
that the dove will once more settle on its perch here.

TWENTY PER CENT
INCREASE TRUCKS
@ ANNOUNCED

An increase Of twenty per cent in
production of light delivery trucks
during the first half Of this year
over the same period in 1929 was an
nounced today by Sidney Corbett,
manager of the commercial car di-
vision of the Chevrolet Motor Com
pany.
Figures for the comparable periods
were 27,236 units as against 22,613
to July l last year.
This production increase Mr.. Cor
bett attributed to the need for light
delivery trucks in federal, safe, NUT
nicipal utility construction projects
now under way, and to the growing
use Of the light truck in rural sec
tions. Farmers, especially, are find
ing the light delivery an economical
and necessary addition to farm equip
ment, he said, and the wide variety
of body types available enables the
user to chose the exact body for the
work to be done.
While commercial car production
is necessarily a minor part of the
total output of the Chevrolet Motor
Company, Mr.. Corbett pointed out
that it is accounting for a constantly
increasing production of each years
output. The company first began
building commercial cars in 1916, he
stated, and since that date 1,169,000
units have been built up to the middle
of this year, or in the ratio of better
than one commercial car to each six
passenger cars.

INTO COURT WITH CLEAN HANDS

SCME lN1O (OORl With OLEAI< HANDc@
The Producers Moose threw half a dozen fits last
week when they started bowling about taxes, and what
enormous costs are imposed upon the residents Of
Sheridan County. We suggest that those howlers bet
ter pull in their horns until they pay Sheridan County
over two thousand dollars in back taxes which they
managed to evade by having the personal property as
sessed against a couple of vacant lots on north Main
Street in P~lentywood some years ago, upon which they
had made one small payment with an agreement to
purchase the lots.
When the time came to move out OF the old NV
cry barn because they had not paid rent for over a
year and had been ordered to vacate the place, the mat
ter Of paying for those two lots was brought up by
the board of directors, and Ole Moe, who at that time
was the business head in office of the Noose-as Tay-
Tor never had a head for such things-told the direc-
tors that if that purchase was completed they would
have to pay up the back taxes and by buying Ole Rom
ning's old rooming house they could beat Sheridan
County out of those taxes and get the rooming house
for only a little more than the taxes amounted to.
Much as we deplore high taxes. we believe that
a bunch of ~gangsters who do not pay taxes when they
can escape it, should come ito court with clean hands
or else put the emergency brakes on their clap traps.
Taylor and O'Flah rat-ty who wrote that tax
article are about in such condition that they will hire
a dog and take to the wide open spaces, where bleat-
ing woolies Craze, and if they do not find a location for
the Producers Moose machinery down in Wisconsin,
they will be herding sheep after the present campaign
is over.

And it is so cold

Second comes spring
When all is gay,
And the birds fly north
From their winter stay.

For vacation is here
It's no time to be sad.
Now comes autumn
When we feel quite queer.

And for all the good He is doing
We make a great big fuss.
Weak and sinful though we be
He will help us through our task,
And If we pray to God for this

We should watch and pray
For things we need
And try to be one of the few,
That are Christians and take the
