OUR BODYBUILDING PROGRAM

Millions of dollars will be spent for
new highways in Montana in 1881 and it
is up to the citizens of Sheridan County to
insist upon more road consideration here
than in the past.
Since the passage of Initiative Measure
No. 81, the State Gasoline Tax, November
End 1926 for funds to match the federal ap-
preparations, the huge sum of $14,587,747.-
81 has been expended for better road in this
state, and the total Of new roads built
1876 miles. Of this vast expenditure
of money and road building, this county has
only a little over miles e. .098) and of

II he does this, A can win the trick with
the queen and lead a third round Of
trumps.
Played in this way A B can ave
game; but how many players would be
able to figure this outl Also note the
great difference the opening or de-
fensive play makes in any one hand.
Any other opening than the trumps on
any other play than the underlead of
the ace king of diamonds gives Y Z an
easy game and rubber. Study this
hand from all Of these angles for it is
an excellent example.
CONTRACT BIDDING:
z, as dealer, should pass. A should
pass and Y should bid one club. B
should bid one diamond, Z one spade
and A two diamonds. Y and B should
pass, but z should bid two hearts, Just
as he did in the auction bidding. A
should pass and Y is justified in bidding
four hearts. This will be made, Of
course, unless the defense is perfect, as
already pointed out.
Here is an example of end play that
comes up very frequently:

the huge sum Of money expended for such
work the sum of $~62,433.73 has been used
in this county.
According to the 1929 tax rolls for the
State which totalled over twenty-seven mil
lions of dollars-our share being five hum
dred thirteen thousand dollars-and with
f~ifty-six counties, we should have nearly
IS miles of first class highway now, but all
we have is eleven mile Of grade. This does
not appear fair to this territory. Let us make
some drastic demands on our State High
way Commission through our State Senator
and Representatives by letters and petitions.
Why not demand the completion of the
highway to Plentywood from south of An
telope, and also from Raymond to the Can
adam border to connect with Saskatchewan
No.. 6 and another one from Westby along
the 500 line to Raymond This would
mean 43 miles of road for this county this
year, and it is high time we assert ourselves
now that we have a Senator and Represen-
tatives which will all be recognized az pro-
gressiyes instead of having one man who in
the past was so odious to our State Govern
ment that we could not get anywheres with
road building aid from the State Of Monta-
ma.

AUCTION BIDDING:

No score, rubber game. z dealt and
passed; A passed; Y bid one club; B
bid one diamond; Z bid one spade; A
bid two diamonds; and Y and B passed.
Here is where Z had his opportunity
and took advantage of it by bidding
two hearts. He was feeling for his
partners suit" and was rewarded by
finding Y with strong support. All
passed and A was confronted with the
question as to his proper lead. The
conventional lead would be the four
Of diamonds in answer to his partners
bid, but such a lead will lose the game
for A B. When your opponent has bid
two suits, it usually is a wise move to
open trumps.
The proper lead with AS hand is
undoubtedly the ace of hearts, fol-
lowed with the deuce. z should win
with the queen and lead a low club,
fnessing the nine in US hand. B is
thus forced in the lead with the queen
Of clubs. This play by z is a very clever
one. fol- B has no more trumps and the
only way he can ave game is by
undertaking the ace king Of diamonds.

THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW

We are writing this on the last day or
the year, and we cannot help but moralize
when we think back on the tangled skein OF
yarn from which it was woven. Regrets OF
the past are mingled with hopes for the .fu-
ture.
What a mighty sum of events said
that excellent writer, William Hewitt has
been consummated; what a tide OF passions
and affections has flowed; what lives and
deaths have alternately arrived; what dest-
inies have been fixed forever! Once more our
planet has completed one OF those Journeys
in the heavens that perfect all the fruitful
changes of its peopled surface, and mete out
the few stages of our existence; and every
day, every hour Of that progress, has in all
her wide lands, in all her million hearts, lett
traces that eternity shall behold. Oh! blessed
thew and rich, beyond all blessedness and all
other wealth which Times e~ffacing fingers
may have left them, who, on the last night
of the year, can turn reviews like these to
sleep upon the pillow of a good conscience.
The Old Year, hoary with the SHOWS OF
age. exhausted with the labors OF life, tot
tering under its weight of days, stands
trembling upon the brink of the grave. The
closing hour of it's life is approaching. The
last sunset throws it's golden beams over the
terrestrial robe of the departing monarch.
The stars will soon come out on the tented
field of night to keep their vigils with him.
Around the affairs of our churches will ga
Their Gods children to watch the Old Year
out and the New Year in.'
Those last hours will pass slowly by
nine. ten, eleven-how solemnly the last
stroke of the clock floats upon the still air.
1t dies gently away Swells out again In the
distance, and seems to be caught up by the
oirit voices of departed years, until the air
is filled with melancholy strain. 1t is the
requiem of the dying year. Tenderly, mourn
fully, it fingers upon the ear and sinks into
the heart; slowly and softly it dies away.
But sixty minutes more and we stand at the
parting Of the ways-we cannot stay where
we are; nothing stands still in Gods uni
verse. Sun, moon and stars move onward;
earth, with its winds and tides, moves; all,
everything must move on, forward borne on
that mighty ~impulsion which guides all to
some supreme consummation-the clock
strikes twelve; the grave opens and closes,
and the Old Year is buried. The bells toll
for the passing Of the Old Year, and of all
sounds most solemn and touching, is this
tolling which rings out the Old Year. As in
the past, we know when we hear it to-nite
there will be a gathering of thoughts and a
concentration Of all the images that have
been diffused over the past twelve months.
Turning away from that tomb with
saddened heart, a gush of joyous mel
ody vii burst upon us. The bells are ringing
out their gladdest notes from the church
spires, where but a moment before was toll
ling. Peal upon peal the music comes until
an ~exultant chorus seems to fill the air and
reverberate from the sky.
Old earth, the soloist of the spheres
is singing Happy New Year"

A T MEMORIAL

The world war has become history for
MANY years now. In hundreds of cities and
thousands of counties throughout this ma
ton, large sums Of money has been secured
through public subscriptions or through
taxation for the purpose of erecting fitting
memorials, and dedicating same to the mem
DRY of their soldier boys who made the gu
preme sacrifice for the safety of this great
nation. The names of those soldier boys are
chisseled in marble, bronze, granite and
steel, and will remain a lasting tribute to
them for centuries to come.
Out here in Montana some localities
have already erected memorials to those who
fell in line of duty, meeting the hell fire OF
cannon, shrapnel. submarines, poison gas
and all the other death dealing machines of
war. There are many vicinities which have
not done so for financial reasons. Many OF
eastern Montana's counties can be counted
amongst those whose people are willing to
do anything to repay these brave men whose
lives were counted in the toll of war, but who
are not able to meet this additional expense
as yet.
Roosevelt and Richland counties can
be counted amongst these; but to us it APP
pears this can be very easily remedied, and
a Joint memorial can be erected in the mem
Dry of these men; a memorial that is des-
tined to serve millions of people in the years
to come-the Missouri river bridge between
those TWO counties. Why not dedicate the
south half of that bridge to the soldiers of
Richland county, and the north half of the
bridge to those Of Roosevelt County heroes
who failed to come back2 1t would be easy
at this time to arrange for the casting of
those names in the huge steel girder faces
at the approaches on each side of the river.
These approaches will remain there for a
longer span of years than anyone can fore
tell and will be monuments that will be
visited by tens and hundreds of thousands
of tourists each year.
The people of those two counties
have shown the most unselfish spirit in vot-
ing funds to meet the amount the federal
government will set aside, for the purpose
of building a bridge which will mean ire
mendous traffic through eastern Montana
and divert travel that otherwise would seek
other routes. Much of the business that will
pass over that bridge will be of vast benefit
to other counties than Roosevelt and Rich
land, but as those millions of travellers pass
over that bridge they will know that the cit
liens of those counties have erected a mem
orial that will command the respect and ad-
miration of every tourist.
There are other bridges projected to
span the Missouri river at various points in
Montana, and each of these bridges could
serve the same purpose where other memoir
ials have not already been erected for the
soldier dead.
