Henry Richards, who mar
RED Mildred Welters in March
1928, had been having a hard
time making a living for his
wife and baby. He lived on
the original Welters farm
while the Welters family now
occupy the farm formerly owned by
Joseph Voight about a mile away. He
had been working in that vicinity but
did not provide for his family, and
about two weeks ago they were Ia
ken home in destitute circumstances.

again. This she refused to do until
he was able to provide for them and
which her parents were willing to do.
His wife also accused him of having
talked about her character and warn
ed him to cease this. He then left
the Welters farm for the night.
Early Tuesday morning Richards
got into his Chevrolet coupe and told
Mr.. Smith that il he did not return
in two hours he would not be back
but to send his wages to his mother
in Maine. He appeared at the Wei
tiers house where he sat in his car
from seven to nine without speaking
to anyone, at which time his wife
took some clothes out to him which
she had washed and ironed for him.
She stood at the car talking in a low
voice with him for sometime and then
Mrs. Welters took her younger chill

drove into the pasture to get the
cows. Tom Welters, II years old,

Border Patrolmen Pick
Up Three More Aliens

Last Friday the Immigration
boarder patrol officers of this vicin-
ity arrested John Melleney and John
Giles, Canadian citizens and Vasil
Zizi, q subject Of R%oumania, for en-
tering the United States without
pass ports.
These three parties were strang-
ers to each other and arrived separa-
tely but all landed in the Plentywood
Jail and were later taken to the
County Jail at Scobey where they are
held for disposition and possible de-
portation.
Several Canadian ears have also
been seized in this vicinity lately, for
failing to report at a regular Port OF
Entry before crossing the line. These
Ears will in most instances be con-
fiscated and sold.
This emphasizes the need OF a Port
Of Entry at Raymond than ev-
err before.

WEED ERADICATION
TESTS 10 Be TAKEN
by COUNTY AGENT
Demonstrations Start Today;
Will Be Carried Out Thru
out the County

On a series Of tests which was con-
Quoted in the county last year for the
purpose Of determining the value Of
Calcium Chforate as a control Of pc
RENAL weeds such as Quack Grass,
Canadian Thistle, and Sow Thistle, It
has been found that Calcium is very
effective as a weed eradicator.
Last year County Extension Agent
E. G. Ferguson, conducted q number
Of demonstrations throughout the
county to determine the time that
the application Of the Calcium
Chlorate should be made and also the
rate of application that would give
the best results. Applications were
made on different n~oxious weeds in
July, August and September. Inspec-
ton Of the plots this year show that
the latest applications which were
put on in the latter part Of August
and September were more effective
than those made early in July. Re-
suits secured on the different plots
will range from 80 per cent to 100
per cent eradication.
County Agent Ferguson has ar
ranged a number of demonstrations
in different section Of the county to
show farmers the value of using Cal.
cium Chlorate for the eradication Of
small patches of Quack Grass, Can.
adam Thistle, and other perennial
weeds that have underground ROOF
stock. The demonstrations will b<
held at the J. M. Burke Farm, south
Of Redstoen on Thursday afternoon
July "a; w. D. Dooley Farm on Fri,

made to hold q similar demonstration
at Brush Lake on Sunday, July q
at 200 P. NJ. This demonstration
will be held in the fields just north
Of the Brush Lake Ball Grounds
County Agent Ferguson reports thai
the cost for Graduating perenia
weeds by the Calcium Chlorate me.
thod will range from TIC to $1.2s
per square rod, depending on tbs
amount Of weed growth existing al
the time the application Of the chem.
ical was made. Those attending the
demonstrations will have an oppor.

i applications Of the chemical, also thu
different methods Of applying tn,

LOCAL CARS
MEET WITH MlSHAPS
SUNDAY MORN
DR.. Hall Cut About Head and
Right Hand by Pieces of
Flying Glass

The Saturday night dance at Red
stone brought out a lot of the young
folks from Plentywood and other
parts of the County and was very
we'll attended.
When the dance broke up in the
early hours Of Sunday morning, the
solid line Of cars coming back over
road by Archer raised a cloud of dust
which made travelling exceedingly
difficult.
The Michels brothers had . blow
out and drove off on the rigat side
OF the road as near the ditch as Dos
sible, and following them was a
Whippet driven by d. Eaton who
swerved to the left to avoid hitting
the Michels car, and following him
came Stanley Palubicki driving at a
fast clip to get ahead of the other
cars and avoid the dust. He failed
to see the Eaton car but also swerv-
ed to the left to avoid hitting the
Michels car and in doing so hit the
Whippet which resulted in that car
catapulting into the Buick driven by
Michels. The results was exceedingly
bad for all concerned. All occu-
pants escaped injury but the Eaton
car was completely wrecked, while
Palubicki's car and Mrhels car both
received some bad dents and broken
tenders.
On the north road past Harry
LOucks residence a number of other
cars were returning homeward, am
ongst which DR.. Hall was numbered.
He had two passengers with him,
Lucille Hopkins and Al Kurtz. They
met a q with bright head lights
and in turning out to avoid a coils
sion, one wheel hit a large rock
which overturned the car and throw
ing it off the road, where it rolled
over twice. AL Kurtz escaped from
the car before it crashed, but DR..
Hall and Miss Hopkins wefe unable
to get out of the car until it stopped.
Both were badly shaken up and the
doctor received a cut on the head and
his right hand badly lacerated from
flying glass. They were taken to
the Plentywood Hospital by another
car and his cuts were Immediately
drdssed. They miraculously escaped
serious injury.

FACTS ON THE LOCAL
POWER CONTROVERSY
Does Not Want Letigation
and Asks Voters Consid-
Grafton

In a recent interview with w. L.
Hayes Of Minneapolis, representing
the Montana Dakota Power Com
pany, relative to the local light and
power controversy, he made the fol-
lowing statement.
~ am unable to see how the City
can gain anything by carrying the
election on Saturday. The City has
no funds with which to build a munic-
ipal plant and a recent reduction in
the tax levy will make it impossible
for the City to raise funds with
which to buy or build a municipal
plant.
II the election should carry on Sa-
turday, and the City attempts to
proceed with the matter, the whole
proposition would Immediately be-
come tied up in court proceedings
that undoubtedly would be expensive
to both the City and the Power Com
pany. Both the City Of Plentywood
and the Power Company have al
ready spent money in court proceed
ings in the recent injunction action
which the City lost, concerning the
purchase of an oil engine for the gen.
GRAFTON of power for street lighting
and pumping purposes. There are SO
many legal complications in the sit
uation that it seems a pure waste OF
money for the City to have the mat
ter get into the courts.
The Supreme Court of Iowa or
June 3Oth, Of this year, held as IL
legal a contract between the Fair
banks Morse Company and the City
of Sidney, Iowa, which is a situation
identical to the present situation In
Plentywood. The decision of the Su-
preme Court was based upon the
grounds that the City authorities had
no right under the law to make such
q contract. Our attorneys are very
positive that the contract offered the
City by the Fairbanks, Morse Com
pany, here in Plentywood, will 81
held invalid in court.
The Mayor, in last weeks papers
made the statement that the writer
had made promises to the City which
had not been kept. / wish to take
this opportunity to correct this state
ment. The facts in the matter are
that shortly after the writer's first
interview with Mayor Storkan, the
Montana Dakota Power Company
presented the Mayor and City Coun'
Gil with a new street-lighting con
tract which would reduce the City's
cost for street-lighting current from
eight cents a kilowatt to seven cents
with a FIVE per cent cash discount
making the net cost to the City fol
street lighting current six and six
ty-fve one h~undredths cents per kilo
watt. In addition to this reductol
in street lighting rates the Powe
Company reduced the horse-powe
charge on the City's pumping from
thirty-three horse power to twelv
and a half horse power, which woul
very materially reduce the City's bil
for pumping.
The Mayor was well pleased wit
the proposition submitted by tn
Power Company and, after consulting
with the members of the City Coun
Gil, the Mayor and the City Cler
signed the contract presented by tn
