TWO YOUNG All CLUB
MEMBERS Win TRIP
TO LIVESTOCK SHOW
Geo. johnson of Dagmar, Ell
la Iverson, Antelope Win
Coveted Trips

At a recent meeting Of the COM
mittees of Plentywood Post No. So
of the American Legion to select the
outstanding All club members of the
county to represent the All clubs at
the All Club Congress to be held at
Chicago in connection with the In
ternational Livestock Show on No
vember 90, to December 6, George
Johnson of Dagmar was chosen to
represent the boys clubs and Ella
Iverson of Antelope was selected as
delegate to represent the Al Club
girls.
Both these members have been ac-
tive in All club work for a number
Of years. George Johnson has been
enrolled in club work for the past
six years, has been secretary and
treasurer of the North Dagmar Boys
Club for two years and has won a
scholarship for outstanding work in
1926. Ella Iversn has been engaged
in club work for four years and serv-
ed as president of the Antelope Club
in 1929 and has been assistant club
leader for the Antelope Club during
the past year.
The Plentywood Post Of the Amer
lean Legion has seen fit to finance
trips to the outstanding All club
members for the past two years. Last
year the honors we're won by Christ
ian Johansen who was also a member
of the N. Dagmar Club. In select
ing the members for the honor of
representing Sheridan County All
Club Organizations at the lnterna-
tional Club Congress it was necess-
airy to consider the entire record the
boy or girl had made since enrolling
in All club work. Several other
members had exceptional records for
one or two years, but in many cases
they neglected to send in their re-
ports at the end of the club year,
which is essential in order that they
may be considered for such honors.

DROUGHT SURVEY IS
NOW UNDER WAY IN
MONTANA COUNTIES
Relief Measures to be Based
On Reports; Enable Re
fund for 1881 Period

During the past two weeks an in
tensive survey is being made in all
counties in Montana where drought
was the determining factor in crop
production. This survey is being car
ried on through the Montana Exten-
sion Service with the approval of the
Secretary Of Agriculture and the
State Drought Committee. When Con-
gress convenes in December there will
be a demand from the northwestern
states asking for assistance for re-
lief measures so that farmers may
carry on operations in 1881. The state
Drought Relief Committee deemed it
advisable to make such a survey in
order that definite facts and figures
may be compiled for the State of
Montana and such facts be presented
to congress in order that this state
may receive sufficient drought relief
aid beneficial.
Last year a demand was made on
congress for assistance without def
mite knowledge as to the amount
needed for the stated small appro-
priation was made, which in many
cases was a great help to farmers,
but as a general rule the a%ppropria-
ton was not sufficient to take ARE of
all farmers who were in need of help.
In many cases money was received
so late in the season that it could
not be used for the purpose for which
it was needed.
Questionaires have been sent out to
all farmers in Sheridan County and
those who will be in need Of help to
carry on their farming operations are
requested to answer completely all
questions and return to the County
Extension Office not later than No
vember 25 in order that they may
be t~abulated, and the figures for the
state will be assembled and the infor-
nation sent to Washington so unat
Montana may get her inst portion, if
an appropriation is made.

of the Angus breed, herds will meet
at Chicago, from as far separate
states as Washington and New York;

way, Anti-depression Fea-
lures the Program


The Plentywood Commercial Clubs
annual dinner, given last evening in
the basement of the Catholic church
was very we'll attended, not only by
local residents but by nearly fifty
visitors from other parts of Sheridan
county.
Welcomed By President
The guests were welcomed by Jack
Bennett, president of the club, and
the sincerity of his welcome was ex-
pressed in his we'll known and force
full manner of address. 1t was a ra-
Their great surprise to have so many
visitors from other parts of the u
ty, with winter here, Nh. Bennett told
the guests that one particular reason
-t)r having invited them here to this
dinner was to get their views upon
the matter of maintaining our coun-
ty fair next year.
During the dinner hour, at which
time every chair was filled; seating
capacity for the diners being 1875,
and with "a late conner who were
compelled to wait until places could
be provided for them, the assembled
club members and visitors were roy
ally entertained, not only with a very
tasty dinner, prepared by the ladies
.-,f the Catholic church, but with a
number Of songs, readings and cor
net solos by members and wives of
members of the local Commercial
club.
Committees Report
The various committees gave their
reports Immediately after their hum
ger had been appeased, and it was
pleasing to learn with what success
these various committees have met
during the past year. A detail re-
port will be given of their steward
ship in a later issue.
That much good will come from
this meeting is foreseen, and we
; 11elieve that with the enthusiasm dis
played by those attending that in the
future it will become necessary to
make arrangements for accomodat-
ing at least twice as many as were
at this dinner.
Boosting is Keynote
Boosting for Sheridan County was
the keynote Of the entire meeting.
Depression was waved aside as OF
little import, those present recog-
nizing the fact that it may have been
= a good lesson to us all, and that we
must have faith in our institutions
and unlimited and that we
have a right to be proud of them, and
that after having passed through
this period we will come out purified
Just as clay goes through the fire
and becomes a far better and purer
clay.
A little touch of humor as we'll as
a complete sermon to those whose
y;.nds have been turned upon the
darker views Of the present period
was lent to the occasion as each
guest sat down to dine he found at
his place a napkin upon which was
printed "Crying Towel, for those that
need it." Turning the neatly folded
napkin over we found the following
little tip "the next Bozo who comes
weeping to you crying "BAD BUS
MESS" hand him this crying towel,
direct him to a quiet corner and tell
him the advantages of BOOSTING
BUSINESS. Business is as good as
We make it-so let's get busy" The
napkins were furnished by the Ing
watson and Company store.

London, March 5 UPl - Ignoring his physicians orders to remain at Stanmorc two more days, Secretary Stimson unexpectedly came to Lon don this morning and summoned an immediate meeting of the American naval conference delegation. The purpose of the call was not disclosed and it created something of sen- cation.

 It was disclosed at about the same time that the Americans were con- siderably agitated over the course Of events of yesterdays meeting of the chiefs of the delegations. It de- velopcd that Ambassador Gibson who was acting for Secretary Stim. son, vigorously opposed the program laid down for the conference when it resumes active work on the ground that it was premature and ill-adviscd.

Col. Robinson Protests Proposed
 Clearance Regulations

Washington, March 5 UPt- Events in the Canadian house of commons would seem to indicate that the time is near when Canada will pass regulations designed to help the United States enforce pro- hibition.
 It now appears that the Canadian government is ready to propose an amendment to the customs laws providing that liquor ships destined for the United States shall not re- Ccive clearance. Tho matter was brought to the attention of Domin- Ion officials by series of questions put to Prime Minister Mackenzie King in which American enforce lncnt officials were charged with the murder" of Canadian citizens.
 Cuba Has Agreement
 Cuba already has q clearance agreement with the United States, and if Canada should adopt such q measure, prohibition officials believe they can reduce materially the amount of liquor smugglcd into the United States.
 The questions were put to King by Col. S. C. Robinson ill the Cana dian house of commons. Robinson represents district opposite Dc troit.
 Robinson's questions follow:
 1. How many Canadian vessels have been seized by American pro- hibition agents in. 1922-29, inclu- Sive?
 ?. How many seizures turned out to be illegal?
 3. How many Canadian lives were lost from indiscriminate shooting?
 How many cases of seized vcs- sols are pending?
 5. How many Canadian vessels have been destroyed by gun fire oi American enforcement officers?
 How Many Protests
 6. How many times Canada pro- tested to the United States?
 '. How many times has the United States apologized?
 s. What progress has been mad- with unsettled cases?
 9. What steps, if any, has the government taken to put q stop tc shooting and numbering by Ameri, can enforcement officers of Cana. dian citizens?
 10. How many Canadians were murdered by American prohibition agents in 1929?
  wounded in 1928?
