In a desire to correct the situation as promptly as possible, some effort will be made by the chamber to induce the planting Of young trees which after a period of time will permit the removal of the older trees that now tend to detract rather than add 10 the symmetrical beauty of the thoroughfares.
 Favor Small Claims Court
 Again the matter of establishin; a small claims court in the town Of Plainville was placed under discus- sion and the consensus of opinion as to the merits of this court was that an effort should be made for it's esta blshment, which is expected to be an instrument by which many of the local merchants will be re- lieved of their difficulties in the set clement of their claims. It is hoped that the chamber will be able 10 progress along this line in the near future.
 Staples Talks on Schools
 For the interest of those present. Leon C. Staples, superintendent of schools and past president of the local chamber, spoke on some of the many problems confronting the To- cal school organization. While he was aware that on some occasions it's methods were receiving criticism which undoubtedly was meant to be constructive, so many unusual conditions exist that although the results of it's plans in some respect will not meet with approval at the present time, he predicted that they will be justified to the fullest extent at later date.
 Such problems as the continued increase in enrolment, the incon- sistency of the desire of the chil- dren to follow along the courses chosen by previous classes and the the inability to retain high class teachers when unable to meet conl- petitive salaries were a few of the snumerations made by MT. Staples. In closing he wished it to be known that he was always willing to go over any matters of interest to the local people pertaining to the school set up. He hoped that the local people would avail themselves Of this opportunity,
 The membership and financial re- ports continued to show a favorable condition. w. T. Warfeld was duly elected a member.

 One Contest Results
 SINGLE UPSET RECORDED
Workman Injured at Donnelly Brick Go. - Kensington Defeats East Berlin Soft Ball Team-Worthing- ton Assn. Plans Corn Roast.

Berlin's town hall was taxed to its full capacity by the registered re- publican voters who turned out last night to name their delegates to the state. senatorial, congressional, and probate conventions. The gathering was very quiet and the choice of all delegates with the exceptions of these to the probate convention was made by exclamation. Paper ballots were used to name the delegates to the probate gathering and these were handed to the voters as they entered the hall
 Robert o. Clark and Mrs. Jean Hooker were named delegates to the state convention, and following this election Oscar Benson and Mrs. Ora Eagerly were chosen to represent the district as delegates to the county convention. Theodore Savage and Mrs. Robert Deming were elect ed to attend the senatorial conclave while Claude w. Stevens, Leon G. Hall, Charlesf Piccini and Ernest W. Mildrum. all filling supporters, were elected to the probate convention.
 The only upset was the election of George Green as one of the dele gates to the congressional gathering. MT. Green was nominated by Dr. R. M. Griswold, who was strongly fav ored to win the place in the pre- caucus guesses. Arthur Benson was ~1 otol rr1i i1{n oc the other member of this delegation.
 In the probate fight Attorney Gen. eral filling made a clean sweep garnering 192 of the total of 271 votes cast. His opponent. Prosecut- ing Attorney Woods of New Britain, received 79 votes.
 The caucus also reelected all the present members of the town com mittee, granted that body the power to fill three vacant places, and fur ther gave it the power to appoint any alternates that might be neces- sary to any of the conventions.

f-LABOR CONVENTION
Held LAST SUNDAY
DREW SMALL CROWD
Listened Attentively Until
Taylor started Talk
ing, Then Left

The s0-called Farmer Labor
state convention was held in
Plentywood on Saturday and was
Of so little consequence that it
passed unnOticed. We understand
that there were delegates from
six or seven counties present.
Of course Charles f. Taylor was
for U. S. Senator, as it
was his own convention, practically
called by himself to try and get his
name before the public and incident
ally to raise some funds for the fl
nancing of the campaign, which We
understand did not materialize up to
his expectations.
Besides him, the delegates present
endorsed Ole Sanvick of Havre for
Railroad Commissioner and one O. B.
Horsford of McCone county for
Congressman. They do not expect to
elect anyone, either on the State OF
the county ticket.
AS an indication Of the attitude the
voters of Sheridan County hold con.
cerning the Farmer-Labor party, the
annual picnic held Sunday at Brush
Lake had an attendance of only
about 200 people. Mother Bloor
communist organizer for severa
northwestern states spoke as also die
William Lemke of Fargo and Jerry
Edwards of Jamestown, North Da
kota. to all Of whom the little au
dience listened with attention and
few were enthusiastic enough to clal
their hands. When Taylor addressed
the audience great many movet
away as they did not care to lister
to his speech, and some parties toll
us afterwards that it was merely th'
old line of bally-hooing.

Glasgow, Sept. 15th-Evidence that

Olson of Valley County to start the
investigation which resulted in the
autopsy, it was learned here. Final
official report of the chemical anal
ysis made of Mr.. Arnot's viscera is
to the effect that his death was due
to corrosive sublimate. County at
torney Roberts has been awaiting
this report and will Immediately file
first degree murder charges against
Mrs. Arnot.
His body had been removed to the
basement of the Arnot home and
placed on a pile of paper and rub
bsh near the furnace and which had
been set on fire, and Mrs Anot had
gone to the tourist park to see her
son who was in charge there. This
was about midnight. When she re-
turned the house appeared to be full
of smoke and she ran across the
street to DR.. Montgomery's home and
called for help. The fire company
came in short time and extinguished
the flames in the basement only to
find the charred body Of Mr.. Arnot

and horticulture produce will be as
sembled in one place. A silver low

PREDICTS that 1881
WILL Be GOOD YEAR
FOR ALL THE CROPS
Now Entering "a Years of
Rainfall and Good Weather
Says w. B. Mears

Although 1880 was an extrem-
ely dry year with adverse agri-
cultural conditions, especially in
the dry land area of the west
ern part Of the United States,
Williaa, B. Mears. of st. Paul,
announced that 1881 will be
very favorable year with an am
pie supply of moisture and with
temperatures very satisfactory
during the growing season.
Mears is a veteran in weather pre-
dictions and his statements are we'll
considered He makes his predic
tions by using government weather
statistics, his head and a pencil" ac-
cording to statement made in
st. Paul paper. The same paper
states that he has never missed
since making predictions.
Following is dispatch from the
ST. Paul Pioneer Press regarding the
predictions made by Mears: "The
year 1881 marks the beginning of a
24-year period of prosperity during
which crop yields will be high, rain
fall more plentiful than in the past
IS years, and temperatures moder-
ate. Mears makes his predictions on
the adage that history repeats it's
self. He figures in 10-year cycles with
the extremes at the fourth revolu-
ton or 40th year.
"Tenth years ending 9 and have
in the past brought to an end, with
drought and high temperatures, the
10-year cycle, and tenth years end
ing / have ushered in years of more
bountiful rainfall, accompanied in
1901, 1911 and 1921 by high tenn
peratures which allowed all small
grain crops to properly fill and ma
ture. From this we must draw the
conclusion that at the 40th year from
1891 was a year of moderate tenn
peratures which allowed all small
grain crops to properly fill and ma
ture. From this we must draw the
conclusion that at the 40th year from
1891, rainfall and temperatures vii
very nearly parallel those of thai
year making 1891 year of abundant
moisture and moderate temperature
an making a prediction of croI
yields, the Northwest weather pro
phet draws his same conclusions in ;
comparison of yields by cycles. Th
average bushel yield of wheat fo
Montana in 1881 will be 20 bushel
to the acre. Flax will be about /
bushels per acre. There will be
good crop Of potatoes in 1881 but tn
price won't be very satisfactory Will
the hay crop next year will be shor
due to the dry conditions of the sol
in 1929 and 1890

The women's quarters in the coun-

LOCAL GIRLS REP
RESENT COUNTY AT
THE MIDLAND FAIR
Helen Stenehjem and Bernice
Erickson Get Free Trip
To Billings

For the first time the All
Clubs of Sheridan County were
represented at the Midland EN-
pire Fair at Billings BY home
Economics Demonstration Team,
and they may be proud of the
girls who went as guests Of the
Midland Empire Fair Board.
Bernice Erickson and Helen Stem
ehiem of Plentywood competed in
contest with other teams in the state
with a demonstr of "The Con
venient Clothes Closet" which ere
ated much interest among the people
who heard the demonstration.
Since 1923. the Midlnnd Empire
Fair Board has invited one Home
Economics Demonstration Team and
one Agricultural Demonstration team
from each county to compete for
state championship at the Midland
Empire Fair. Railroad expens\s of
the teams are paid by the Board and
living Accommodations with very close
supervision are provided for the All
Club members while in Billings.
Since most of the counties of the
state are represented at the fair, the
competition is very keen and the
teams become very observing. The
girls who went to the Fair this year
can tell you lot about demonstra-
tions and are going to help train
other All club members. Next year,
instead of one demonstration team,
Sheridan County should have at least
fifteen competing for the trip given
by the Midland Empire Fair. The
winning team is given trip to
Portland
Another activity in which the All
clubs of Sheridan County should take
part is judging. All Club members
should be trained to Judge good
quality products and this year
Judging Teams were included in 4-H
Club Contests. Sheridan County did
not participate, however. In the
other counties, this work is done on
a local leader basis. Leaders are Civ
en- help and information by the Ex-
tension Office, and they in turn are
able to give the boys and girls the
individual help which is necessary.
Sheridan County All Clubs have
made good beginning. Let us hope
it is only a beginning and another
wear will show much progress.

ELLEN JOHNSON GETS
SO DAYS; $10O fine
ON NUISANCE CHARGE
Tried Week Ago Before
Judge Wheeler; State
Had Good Evidence

The case of the State of Mon
tana VS.. Ellen Johnson. charged
with residing in a questionable
resort, was tried in Justice
Court in Plentywood last Fri
day night before Judge Wheeler
and resulted in finding the wo-
man guilty as charged and she
was sentenced to serve 60 days
in the County Jail and to pay
fine of $4,000.
The testimony was vi high
ly sensational character, but unlike
most cases in which this woman or
her associates have been connected in
past years, there was only very
small crowd present to listen to the
evidence. 1t is very plain the public
is tiring of listening to such testi-
mony.
The state was represented by
County attorney Bakewell and the
defendant was defended by attorneys
Paul Babcock and T. w. Greer.
The case has been appealed to the
District court and the defendant is
again at liberty on bonds furnished
by Peter j. Stewart and Charles
O'Brien, pledging the same security
Of 800 acres near Redstone which has
been pledged so many times the past
