years old and he is already looking
forward to becoming a great-great-

least another 30 or 40 years.

June Time, a three act comedy
will be presented by the Plentywood
High School on Friday, February
%, at th%ree-thirty and eight o'clock.
The play is hilariously funny. A
young physician, DIR. Curtisc Brown,
falls in love at first sight with Con-
stance Wilbur. In order to become
better acquainted with her, he quar-
antines all the members of her house
hold for smallpox. Vaccinating every
body, talking learnedly of serum,
variola, and spots. DR.. Brown in
wolves himself in a desperate stu
alton, a situation that becomes more
desperate upon arrival of DR.. Rust,
an authority on small pox. The eff
forts of DR.. Brown to extricate him
self and yet retain the admiration of
Miss Wilbur are ludicrous.
Florette, an excited French maid:
Oliver Cromwell Brown, a poor hen
pecked husband; Mabel Brown, an
emotional fat woman and Elouise, a
dignified nurse with an "ossifed"
heart help to complicate the plot

and ice bags, "June Time has the

spinal meningitis. The girl was in a
coma at this time and an operation
on her spine was performed which
proved conclusively that it was pro-
perly diagnosed. There was nothing
more that could be done for the I'M
fortunate girl and she died that ev-
ening at seven o'clock. Her father
and sister being with her when she
passed away.
She is survived by her father, two
sisters, being Sarah who lives with
her at Medicine Lake, and Margaret

aran church officiating, and she was
laid to rest in the local cemetery

Nearly 200 People Come by
Special Train To Swell
Crowd of Merrymakers

The annual Fireman's dance which
was held at the Farmer-Labor TEN.
pie on Saturday night will go dowr
in the annals of that organization as
the most successful dance so far
staged in Plentywood by the Firemen
or any other body.
More than six hundred persons
were there and just how room was
made for all them and permit from
100 to $50 couples to dance at one and
the same time is something that
puzzles a great many people, but it
was done that night.
The huge crowd was extraordinarily
behaved, and little or no drunkenness
vas noted as the crowd came believ-
ing that such a thing would not be
tolerated, and the Firemen maintain
ed perfect order and found no cause
for complaint on this core
A special train was chartered by
the Nremen's organization so as to
accommodate the terpischoreans who
were unable to come on account of
bad roads and this brought 189 out of
town visitors; most of whom first
took in the splendid talkies at the
Orpheum and later on the dance.

was received that evening from the
visitors.
Dancing was INDUCED in from $3.50
in the evening until 800 next morn
ing, and the music furnished by
Whites eight piece orchestra was of
the same splendid character a ever,
and was featured by the trombone
playing Of Hugh Sweeney Of Havre,
formerly with one of the country's
leading recording ~orchestras.
That such a dance can be given in
Plentywood without any trouble is an
Indication of the trend of affairs, and
we wish to highly compliment the
