Campaign Will Be
Carried on Friday and
Saturday This Week
Funds to be Used for Charitable Purposes; Especially To
Help T. B. Patients; Principal Means of Obtaining Finan-
cal Aid to Curb Dreaded Disease

The Annual Sale of Health Christ-<
mas seals will be conducted by pupils
from the local schools on Friday and
Saturday Of this week. The city will
be canvassed on these two days and
any who do not have the opportun-
ity to get their Health Seals directly
from the pupils will be able to pro-
cure them at any one of the several
places down town after this week.
An attempt will be made to so plan
the sale of the seals so that the citi-
zens of Plentywood will not be asked
too many times to buy seals.
Fight Against tuberculosis
Headquarters is particularly en-
phasizing the fact that it is in years
like the present that the greatest
need is found for increased sales of
Health seals. Undernourlshed and
poorly clothed children as we'll as
adults offer the dreaded Tuberculo-
sis a better chance to get a foothold.
The money received from the sale Of
Health Christmas Seals goes entirely
for the fight against tuberculosis.
Seventy-five percent of funds rails
ed from the annual sale goes back
to the place where it was raised.
This is either distributed through the
schools in the form Of health service
or through many different kinds of
literature bulletins and pamphlets
which are furnished by headquarters.
Santa Claus may not knock at as
many doors this Christmas as last,
but tuberculosis will knock at more.
1t takes advantage of hard times"
Downward Trend
There has been a steady downward
trend in the tuberculosis death rate
in Montana since 1915. In that year
there were $50 deaths from tubercul-
osis and in 1929 there were 357 who
lost their lives because of this dis
ease. This is a drop in rate of 1888
to 66.6 if we base the latter figure
on the 1920 census. If we should
use the 1890 census figures it would
be about the same rate of decrease.
DR.. Alan Krause of John Hopkins
University stated in an address at
Butte last summer that the educa-
tional work financed by the sale OF
the little Christmas seal had played
the greatest part in the decline OF
tuberculosis.

New Clothing Store
May Locate Here

The Northwest Service Store has
now completed its removal from the
old stand on the west side OF Main
street to the store formerly occupied
by the Saveway stores. The Northwest
Service store opened business some
months ago in their new location but
maintained their surplus stock in the
other building.
We learn that the lease on the pro
perty vacated by them has been trans
ferred to some clothing firm that is
opening up a shoe and clothing store
there in the very near future. we DO
not know who these parties are but
understand they are coming here
from Scobey and which will open
here in the immediate future.
This again indicates the populari-
ty of Plentywood as a trading cen
ter. -,
BY next week we hope that we VIII
be able to inform the public further
as to who our new business firm Will

TAXPAYINC PERIOD.
CLOSES; PAYMENT Is
HEAVY SAYS REPORT
Receipts Exceed 1929 and
May Reach $l75,00O
When Tabulated

The ~taxpaying period for 1880 has
drawn to a close, and according to
County treasurer holman, the pay
ments are heavier this year than in
1929. Remittances mailed before the
last day were still coming in yester-
day; there were at least two hun
dred remittances were unopened at 5
o'clock.
Mr.. HOLMAN has been busy every
minute of the time for the past week
taking in remittances, and is not in
position to state definitely just what
the total payments will amount to, or
the p~ro-rata of payments, but believes
it will be nearly rs per cent of the
amount due to be paid. This exceeds
last years payments by a consider
able amount.
This is very gratifying to know, as
indications we're that less than SO
per cent would be paid this year.
Next week we will be able to give
YOU the totals and believe that it will
be in the neighborhood of $4,000
paid in at this period.

Give Wick, 0pheim Farm Hand,
Confesses to Nashua Robbery
Together With Two Others,
Are Now in Tolls; SEN
fenced Monday

GLASGOW, Nov 27.-(AP) Sheriff
Ben Olson tonight announced he had
secured a signed confession from
Cleve Wick, "a, Opheim farmland,
which named Wick, Dave Adams of
Richland and Ray Taylor Of Terry as
the men who robbed the First Ma
ticnal bank at Nashua Of several
thousand dollars Nov. 6.
Wick was arrested Monday and
Adams was taken into custody sever
al days earlier.A search for Taylor
was being made at Kalispell tonight,
but officers here expressed the be-
lief he might have gone to Spokane.
The trio, Sheriff Olson said, spent
several days here planning the rob-
berry and delayed it one day because
a band Of sheep was being driven
over the road on which the escape
was to be made.
Wick related that he and Taylor
abandoned their machine north of
Nashua after the robbery, returned
to Glasgow and boarded a train for
Kalispell.
The confession stated Wick and
Taylor received $1,100 each from the
loot and later discovered Adams had
kept $1,000. Wick told the sheriff
he and Taylor stayed with Taylor's
mother at Kalispell. He declared he
did some drinking while at that city
and lost most of his share of the
money from his hip pocket.
Wick, Sheriff Olson said, returned
to Kalispell against Taylor's wishes
and was arrested shortly after his
arrival.
Cashier f. T. Peterson, of the Ma
shua bank has identified Wick and
Adams as two of the robbers.

Operate Health Programs

The money derived from the sale
of seals has been used to operate eff
fective health programs, to establish
clinics, to help maintain sunshine
camps, to finance public health nur-
sing and to supply health education
equipment for schools and to distrib-
ute literature.
Fight Not Won
Our fight is not won, although tu-
berculosis has fallen from first cause
of death as it was in 1915 to sixth
cause. 1t is still the greatest prob
lem since it takes its toll from a
group who are of the greatest inn
portance in IN economic sense to the
community. Between the ages of Is
and 40 tuberculosis takes a greater
number of lives than any other dis
ease. The deaths from this cause
during that age period equal IS per
cent of the total death from the five
other causes. tuberculosis still Gre
ates more orphans; breaks more
homes and causes more money losses
to a community than any other dis
ease.

CONGRESS REOPENED'
MONDAY FOR LAST
OF SHORT SESSIONS
Drought Relief and Unem-
ployment Bills First
Consideration

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-(AP)-
Turmoil prevailed both inside and out
side the capitol today as the cleo
tion-torn ranks of the list congress
re-assembled for the concluding
short session.
While communists battled police on
the capitol plaza and congress went
through its brief opening formalities
harasesd party leaders inside were
striving to work out from a jumbled
legislative docket an orderly pro-
gram that could be completed by
March 4.
The only unamity, however, ap-
peared to be on drouth an unemploy-
ment relief legislation.
The first measure proposed dealt
with drouth relief. Senator Robinson
Of Arkansas, the democratic leader
who yesterday assured President
Hoover of support for a bipartisan
relief program, introduced a 60,0O0,-
600 drouth relief bill, and republicans
in the house and senate FASTENED to
advance similar legislations.
Await Speech
But the organization of the public
buildings, road construction and
drouth relief program awaits the re-
commentators to be submitted to
congress tomorrow by President
Hoover.
Among the other perplexities that
as congress met was whether
Senator-elect Davis of Pennsylvania
will be seated. Mr.. Davis failed to
to put in his appearance and the SEN
ate ceremonies were over in 20 min
utes.
To the solution of this controversy
and the problem of what to do with
the World court protocol which
President Hoover has decided to sub
nit to the senate, the republican
leadership bent itself in conference
tonight
With these two troublesome prop
ositions and that of Muscle Shoals
ahead, leaders were still dubious of
their ability to forestall an extra
session in the spring.

SEN. CHAS. TAYLOR
PLEADS NOT GUILTY.
BAD CHECK CHARGE
Required to Give New Bond
Last Monday in District
Court

When Charles f. Taylor was ar
raigned in District cour, on Saturday
on the felony charge concerning a
worthless check issued to the Dion
Eustrom Company, by him, in excess
of $4,000 when he only had about six
cents in the bank, he plead mot gull
ty." He was represented in court by
attorneys Greer and Erickson.
County attorney Blackwell request
ed hat the bonds filed in Justice
court last spring by Hans Rasmus-
sen and Marvil f. Hill should be pro-
ven to be good by making the bonds
men justify, there was a sudden howl
and commotion by the reds. The
judge was inclined to believe hat the
original bonds were good but upon
the request that such bondsmen jus
tify same, he set Monday morning
at 10 o'clock for a hearing on this
matter.
Not SO Anxious
For some reason or another these
two parties were not so anxious to
make such justification and after
that Erickson earned at least $500
for the number of possible bondsmen
he buttonholed on Main Street in
Plentywood, but the refusals were
continuous until Hans Henderson of
Archer and John Lindbloom of Ray
mond were rounded up.
Monday morning these new bonds
were offered to replace the Rasmus-
sen-Hill sureties and the same were
accepted as satisfactory by the Coun-
ty attorney and approved by the
Court.
