found on the school section

Sheriff Madsen and Coron-

fairbanks-Morse Co.
Attorneys Pay Visit

Attorneys Kyle and Wolfe of Min
neapolis, representing the Fairbanks
Morse Company were here last week
in conference with Mayor Storkan re-
lative to installing the huge Diesel
engine for generating electrical en-
ergy for light, heat and power for
Plentywood residents and for our
white way.
There being no visible means for
obtaining funds for the purchase of
the distribution system in Plenty
wood, or for a building of lots, these
attorneys are said to have made an
offer of purchasing the system and
erecting the buildings, installing
the machinery, etc, at a total cost of
S70,OO0.OO to be repaid out Of the
earnings of the plant, plus six per
cent interest, to be taken out of the
general city tax levy. They claim
that it may be possible to pay for
the plant this way in seven years,
and during that time the property
would remain in the name of the
Fairbanks Morse Co., and would not
be an actual municipal system. The
total interest for years, al
lowing a payment of $4,000 per year
from the earnings, would amount to
over $18,000.00
We understand the Fairbanks
Morse people insist upon going thru
with the transaction in accordance
with the wishes of the voters on
July 26th, and that it was not neces-
sarily a vote Of confidence in the City

Harvesting and threshing are be-

harvest will be the earliest for sew

condition of corn, potatoes and other
late crops can be materially affected
by rains and other weather condi-
tions.
Generally speaking, except for
further deterioration, there have been
few changes in conditions the past

has caused some further shrinkage of

However, there are some districts

Local Schools Will
Open September /

At the regular meeting Of the Plen-
tywood School Board on August 5,
it was decided to start the l930-193l
School year on Tuesday the second of
September. 1t was felt that on ac-
count of the early harvest it would
be most advisable to begin School
early.
In next weeks papers further an
nouncements will be made in regard
to the opening Of School and it is re-
quested that these be read carefully.
Enrolment for our local High School
pupils will very likely be held the
later part % the week preceding
the opening Of school. Enrolment
at this time assures one of getting
into those classes he most desires
and more time can be given to the in
dividual needs of each pupil.

Gas Co. PLANS
TO EXPAND IN
SUBURBS

The Washington Gas Light
Company, If it is allowed to
merge with the Georgetown Gas.
light Company, will undertake to
finance expansion of its SubSidi-
! aries in the outlying sections Of
Maryland and Virginia as the
need arises.
4 This was told by F. s. Bur.
!. roughS, financial expert of Harris
Forbes Company, at a preliminary
hearing Of the proposed merger
bill yesterday before the Public
Utilities Commission. Although
the present bill provides no lnerg-
ing Of the smaller utilities supply.
Ing gas to the outlying districts,
most of these are either owned
or controlled by the Washington
Gas Light Company and will be
expanded and merged as the need
arises, Burroughs said.
It was pointed out that the
sections adjacent to the District
have in the last few years. and
will in the future. grow much
more rapidly than the city itself.
William Clayton, Public Utilities
expert of the Federation of
Citizens Associations. stressed the
fact that cheap gas would greatly
stimulate the growth of nearby
Virginia and Maryland.
An immediate reduction of 10
per cent in the average rates was
promised District gas consumers
upon the merging of the two COM
panies, with sharper reduction
for large quantities consumed.
The company hopes to be able to
/, supply gas cheaply enough to
make it practical for heating
purposes.

She Is Making Her
Mother Happy

"a big change came over Edna
from the time l started giving her
Acidine regularly for her sour stom-
ach," says Mrs Hagan of 463 First
y ST., Brooklyn. She likes to take Ac-
idine because it tastes just like
peppermint. Therefore can give it
to her regularly enough to help her.
Since she's so much brighter and
happier now, / want every mother,
who has the same trouble as ! had.
to know how she can get it off her
mind"
Too much acid makes grown folks
suffer from biliousness and indiges-
ton. You can imagine then, why 1t
keeps a child's delicate little stom.
aeh so upset she has no appetite and
gets puny. pale and drowsy. More
than two million people are using
Acidine regularly because it actually
sweetens a sour stomach so quickly,
tastes so good=and costs so little.
