This is the end of the first six
weeks. Report cards will be sent
out next Monday or Tuesday. Study
schedules are being made out in
high school and in the seventh
and eighth grades. A definite time
to study each subject is being as
signed. Many pupils do not need
to do home work. They have four
subjects and four study periods.
Those who are in the band need
to do at least one subject at home.
Those who carry five subjects
should do al least two at home.
A student who has difficulty in a
certain subject may need to do
extra homework on it. Each case
has to be decided by itself. No
two pupils are likely to need the
same study plan. In general a pu-
Pill who is getting on F needs to
do more work or take a lighter
course. The marks will be
A, B, c, and F.
A means ~ to 100;
B means "a to 81;
C means rs to 80;
F mean failure, lie. less than IS.
If you have any magazines that
you do not want, we a S them
to good advantage in our school.
We shall be glad to have pupils
call for them.

EDIsoN-AMERIcAN PRODUCT

In the realm into which he was born and in which ne grew to
his full stature, Thomas Alva Edison was Americas greatest man.
Greatness to be fairly compared must be not only classified but grad
uated according to quality. When the upper classes and finer quail
tiles of greatness are contemplated it is seen that mine is really the
man for there is believed to be the seat of intelligence, the germ
of character. the power of will, the directing motive that springs from
reason and rules that period of duration known as a human life.
Edison was an intellectual giant, gifted with power and a burn
ing ambition to translate into useful agencies what his marvellous
insight discovered in the fabric of the universe. He had no desire
motive of men that determines the good or evil they do in their
lives. By that test Edison towers above thousands of the socalled
great-the sordid selfish whose ego blinds them to opportunity for
true greatness.
America produced him. America will never cease to love and
honor him. Budding American genius may well accept Edison as a
rare model of the Hottest and finest of greatness-humble, simple,
laboring for others, forgetting self

YOUNG LAD FINDS
WATCH

Last Thanksgiving afternoon Glen
Gooder, IL year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Elmer Gooder found a valuable
watch on the Muddy river. He was of
fered SIS for it here in town, but de-
cided that the owner should get it
back. Together with his father they
called at the Herald office and told
us about it. We gladly inserted an ad
to locate the rightful owner. 1t had
been purchased from Mr.. Amundson
local jeweler, some years ago and had
been sold to a party south of Red
stone. 1t now transpires that this same
watch had been found by another boy
in P~lentywood four years ago and
that it had been advertised at that
time, and no owner showing up, the
boy continued to keep it. This time he
lost it and now claims the property.
The original owner has been notified,
but it may be possible he had sold it
years ago. Anyway, omeone owning
a mighty fine watch has lost it and
little Glen Gooder was honest enough
to advertise it so that this owner can
get it back, whether it is the lad who
found it four years ago or some other
parity. Whoever gets it will have t.
prove his property.

SURVEY CREW Will
Finish this WEEK
Road from Here East is Now
Completed Surveyed and
Ready for Approval

Highway engineer H. A. Gibbs and
his crew of four men expect to COM
plete the survey and cross section
work on the final survey of the road
from south of Antelope and into
Plentywood by Saturday.
From here they will move 20 Med
icine Lake where they will complete
the survey from that town to Froid,
in Roosevelt county. This, when COM
pleted, will see the fruitation of the
wishes of hundreds of people here
that the suvey work be done, as after
that there is no question about early
action on the part of the Highway
Commission.
Some people are surprised at the
fairness of the Highway commission,
after the way the voters of Sheridan
county acted last spring when they
repudiated the Highway program,
However, the officers of the commits
sion are too bnpadminded to allow
this adverse vote to kill their plans
for good roads throughout northeast
ern Montana.

new BOOKS ADDED
TO HERALD LIBRARY

Lovers of good reading continue to
flock to the Herald office to avail
themselves of the late fiction books
that can be obtained through our
our Readmore Lending Library.
Five new books were added last
week. "a Jew in Love" is the hilar-
ious tale of the antics of a modernized
Jew rampant, the cruel, capricious,
and superior descendant of a Ghetta-
bottled race. The author is Ben Hecht.
1t is the first novel he has written in
four years and reveals a complete ma
turing of his style, his humor, and his
story telling power.
"A Jew i'm Love" makes it's bid as a
work of permanence and Importance.
Iron Man" by w. R. Burnett, tells
the story of a mechanics helper who
becomes a prize fighter and finally
middle-weight champion. This story
is a veritable epic of the prize-ring.
"The Leaf is Green" by John Ora
ven, and although Nh. Craven is a new
author, here is what Joseph Herge-
sheimer writes about this novel: III
would be difficult to recall, in all the
late flood of good, bad and Indifferent
novels, a more moving and sincere
love story than the one which gives
dignity and significance to "The Leaf
is Green" l dislike novels and espec-
tally, love stories, but this one first
diverted me and then excited, and ju-
titled, my unwilling admiration"
"Humdrum House." by jeanette
Phillips Gibbs is another stirring
story of modern life. Last but NOT
least is the book "Simon Called Peter
by Robert Keable. Peter, the hero is
an English war-padre in France, who
goes among publicans and sinners tc
find God and his w soul. This is ar
outstanding novel, which will be read
by many people here.
Owing to the vast popularity ot
many books, it has become necessary
to establish a waiting list for those
readers who want books that are out
when they call. We fill the orders as
fast as the books arrive in the office

FARMERS UNION TO
Mill FOR victim S
Drouth Victims Other Than
Members Will Also Re-
ceive Aid

Williston-The Farmers Union will
mill in Williston and distribute to the
victims of the Montana-D Dakota drouth
area, in the form of flour, $4,000 bu-
shells of wheat is was announced on
Monday.
Glenn Talbot, formerly organizer in
this state for the union, will have
charge of the distribution. He moved
his family to Williston from Minot
Friday to enter on his new duties.
Distribution, Farmers Union rep
r~esentatives said Friday, will be not
only to Union members but to needy
farm families, whether they represent
membership in the union or not.
A small mill is being sent to Will
liston and will be set up at the ter
minal elevator. 1t is expected to be in
operation within a short time.
The Farmers Union has provided

Declare War on Coyotes

The coyotes of Sheridan county are
worried these days. They are not as
pestiferous as in the pat. The reason
for this is that Pilot Strong and some
of his air minded friends or other sky
pilots have declared wan on all wolf
dom. 1t takes some practice to make
good in shooting these animals from
a fast moving plane, but so far we
understand that last Saturday the
first casualty was reported in the coy
cite family. Taral Torstensen and
Strong were the hunters that day.
One of the Williston aviators has
bagged "a coyotes this fall. Last year
he killed nearly 100. 1t is merely a
matter of learning just how to shoot
that will bring results for Strong and
his hunters here.

Will Exceed
at Least so
Pct. Of Total
Amount Received is Surprise
To Officials Will Exceed
Expectations

County Treasurer HOLMAN reports
that taxes have been paid in far
greater amounts than expected a few
days ago. During the last few days
before the t~ax-paying period, without
penalty, expired, there was a tremen-
dous rush by residents of the county
to pay the first half of the taxes, and
so much money came through the
mail that the office force has not
been able to complete the tabulation
as yet. Mr.. HOLMAN informed the
Herald last night that in yesterdays
mail which he had not finished open
ing, there were many thousands of
dollars in drafts and postoffice money
orders.
Mr.. HOLMAN is amazed at the at
titude of many residents of this coun-
ty who have been telling their neigh
bors not to pay their taxes and VIII
came in personally and paid their own
taxes at the very last moment.
Owing to these large last minute
payments the total will reach or ex-
coed fifty percent of the total due at
this time.
1t is gratifying to know that in
spite of two almost complete crop
failures coupled with exceedingly low
prices for everything u farmers
have had to sell, that funds have been
obtained to pay such a large proper
ton of the taxes. That some of this
money has reen borrowed from
friends is very conclusive as the draft
with which much of the local taxes
have been paid come from many parts
of this country. One party is reported
to have borrowed money in Norway
with which to pay his taxes here.
!. Our resident farmers would in most
instances pay their taxes if they had
the money to do so, even though the
taxes are high in comparison with
other years, but some Of our farmers
are unable to obtain funds.
Many farmers are awakening to the
! fact that the reason our taxes are so
! high is directly due to the fact that
no sinking fund levies were made in
1922-23-24 and 1926. The state ex-
aminer has laid stress that the levies
for this purpose had to be increased
in order to take care of the lax
county management during those
years. Had the proper levies been
made at that time our taxes would be
very small.

A AGAIN
T IN FLEETWOOD

For the third time In two years a
dog poisoner has been loosed upon the
Plentywood community. Dogs have
been dropping every day lately, and
many a little boy and girl shed tears
for the loss of their pet, and there are
many adults who feel very badly over
the loss Of their faithful home guar
dian.
Some try to lay the blame on sheep
men in this vicinity, but we do not
believe this. These cruel and wanton
killings are more the act of a maniac
who is shrewd enough to keep us all
guessing as TO his identity. We ander-
stand about twenty dogs have been
killed in this poisoning campaign.
Dogs such as Fred Morck's were very
valuable, and could not have been
touched for less than n hundred
dollars.

Jobless Complain About Free
Food and Demand Dole;
Are Driven Out

COCHRANE, Ont, Nov. %. -
Cochrane has faced and conquered Its
'"red' menace For several months,
this little northern Ontario town,
with a normal population of 5000,
has lived in terror if an uprising am
ong the 1900 or more unemployed
men who have flocked here from all
points in northern Ontario.
The uprising came, but it was quel-
led within an hour by a little posse OF
thirty men, police and private citi-
zens, armed only with "billies' and
baseball bats. Not only was it quelled
but more than 300 of the ring leaders
were run out of town, so peremtorily
that there is little likelihood of their
returning.
Since early summer, Cochrane, be-
causeof it's geographic position on the
main line of the transcontinental rail
way, has been a gathering point for
unemployed men, beating their way
from East to West.
TOWN PROVIDED MEALS
Although it's own residents were
suffering heavily from the depression
and were burdened with a 50-mill tax
rate, they undertook to provide for
the stranded wayfarers. Two meals a
day were provided for all, at the
towns expense, and efforts were made
to provide work for as many as pos
sible.
The meals We're not %epicurean, but
they were substantial-plenty of
bread and bologna or other forms of
sausage, the usual fare of the central
Europeans who made up the bulk of
the unemployed.
eve didn't give 'em no a la carte
banquet" admits Chief of Police Sid
Parsons, who was in charge of the
commissariat, "but there's darned few
people in Cochrane today that eat off
gold plates, anyhow"
SPIRIT OF INSURGENCY
Gradually, however a spirit of~in-
surgency permeated the ranks of the
unemployed. They congested the
streets of the town nightly murmur-
ing threats of violence. Once they sub
mitted an ultimatum to the town coun.
Gil, demanding work for all at a min.
imum Of 81 a day. When this was re.
fused, they demanded a "dole" of s.
a day, and free clothing. This alst
was refused.
Violence first broke out som,
months ago when a police constable
was attacked and badly beaten. Chic
Parsons, with an eye to the future
quietly enrolled some fifty townsmen
ranging in ag from 20 to so, as specia
constables, and equipped them will
batons for emergency use.
