perpetrators of the Sheridan coun- !
ty treasury robbery on Nov. 30,
1926.
1t was the slandeous campaign
carried on by the bitter-end Oppo-
nents to the farmers administra-
ton last election that contributed
more than anything else to the de-
feat Of the Farmer-Labor party.
It was charged that the officials
were involved in this unfortunate
matter and that the robbery was
an inside affair. II was this cam
paign that caused the insurance
company TO refuse payment of the
burglary bonds and forced Sheri-
dan county to sue for the money,
putting the county to great ex-
pense and inconvenience.
It will be recalled that L. ]. On
stad and County Commissioner w.
erson, now candidate for re-elec-
ton, telegraphed to the surety
company not to reimburse Sheri-
dan county, because time would
implicate the Sheridan county Off
Gals. After the trial in Great
Falls, in which the officials were
subjected to the most searching
examinations, and the jury in the
federal court found for the count!
in less than an hour Of considera
ton, on the first ballot awarded
Sheridan county a judgment in full
In order to offset the effects o
this court victory. George Hurd
, the chief counsel wired to L. J. On
: stad at Plentywood that the cas-
would be appealed to the circui
court of appeals where the verde

telegram was printed in a box o

didacy is not that politicians rec
ord for progressivism but the no
torious reactionary character of
the Hoover administration, plus
the support of Senator Wheeler
who has been able to line up the
majority of the labor elements for
Walsh. There is not a more con-

United States Senate than 7. ].
Walsh and his record during the
war is a lasting stain on his char
acter. On the other hand Wheeler
had an excellent record during the

Walsh reveals his unprincipled po-

New York Times the new system will depend largely
on the natural gas fields Of Louisiana and the Texas
fields lying southwest OF the Shreveport area parallel

reads the Times article. are already providing natural

Central and Southern Texas and Louisiana natural
systems" Moreover the new company is expected TO
obtain control Of the Mississippi River Fuel corpora

NEW YORK, March - The
winds OF March still carry a sting
and a bite.
But over on Avenue A, across
the river In Jersey towns, and
down the island" the children OF
Romany are getting ready for the
open road.
So spring must be just around
the corner.
The gypsy and the circus press
agent are always three or four
hops ahead OF the first robin. And
in New York. the hustle OF pre-
paration may always be noted III
the latter days OF March when
gay skirts and gaudy shades are
freShened for the gypsy trail which
knows no END this side OF the grave.
The "chis" and the "chals7 are
beribboned and jeweled. Along the
intricate lanes Of the lower East
Side, their very Snappy looking
autos wait 1t the curb TO form the
annual caravan, for the gypsy OF
today travels In style and in state.
His first stop. generally, Is a camp
in Jersey. Then on he moves into
Pennsylvania and way states, from
camp 70 camp until the skies tell
of SHOWS. Then, oddly enough, he
seeks out the most metropolitan
centers. moves his colossal family
into empty storerooms and dingy
tenements.
SO long had II been since MisSis-
sippi was a regular daily attrac-
ton Of Broadway that few knew
he had died.
1t was a week or more after
his demise that I noticed a para
graph about "Sippi" in a morning
paper.
They say that his greatest regret,
when lying ON his deathbed. was
that his friend and benefactor. AL
Jolson. was off somewhere on a
concert tour and couldn't be called
in for a last farewell.

What are you going to do about

Carmel called me. / can't very well

Il wouldn't call that so very

there any way you can let him

Elanda looked at the clock.
It's six now. He was to be here
at $50. l have no idea where 10
call him. I'll hop into my clothes
and beat 1t and you can explain
70 him. Tell him the truth. Surely
he would not expect me to turn
down a party like Jnat for a theatre
and a few dances"
Dixie thought she never had seen
such selfish n~onchalance. She felt
as II she wanted 10 take Elanda
across her knee and spank her. In
stead she informed her coolly:
You do your W dirty work. Su-
vance is too nice a boy to be a
doormat under any girls feet. This
lord OF yours is probably a second
story man from the Bowery any
way"
III leave q note" Elanda an
swered, equally as coolly. AT least
l didn't meet the lord flirting with
him in a restaurant"
She turned and flounced to her
room and Dixie sat down YEARLY.
1t hurt that, since they had been
friends so many years their friend
ship o was getting on TO such
precarious grounds. II was Just that
cocksure way Of Elanda's. The high
hat way she rode rough shod over
everything. with her nose in the
air. that got Dixie goat. She had
lost patience, or hope, OF setting
Elanda on the right track.
Dixie was getting dinner anc
Elanda had been gone about five
minutes when Suwanee arrived.
Hello, poor Old mother" he greet

Dixie handed him the note silently
and sat down. He looked at her un-
