Father O'ROurke
To Remain Says
Bishop O'Hara

Rt. Rev. Edw. O'Hara bishop of the
Roman Catholic church for the Great
Falls diocese conducted confirmation
services for a class of forty at the To-
cal Catholic church last Sunday.
Bishop O'Hara assured the parish
oners here that Father O'Rourke
would not be transferred from Plen-
tywood, as he had reconsidered the
matter, and found that the services
of FIR. O'Rourke are needed here.
In addition to keeping Father
O'Rourke in this parish, the Bishop
said, that he had redistricted Montana
and the Plentywood district now con-
sists of the greater part of Roosevelt
and all of Daniels and Sheridan coun-
ties, and that Father O'Rourke has
been designated at Dean of the priests
serving the churches in this district.
Two petitions bearing the name of
more than 100 protestant residents
of Plentywood petitioning the bishop
that he allow Father O'Rourke was
presented to him, but this decision
had already been reached before
these petitions were presented to him.
We are sur glad to have Father
O'Rourke remain with us. He is a
good booster for this terri
tory; everyone likes him. He is the
salt of the earth.

Arrested

7. H. Sly, an alien who holds down
a position as brakeman on the 500
line, obtained a hunting license this
fall, but not an alien license, but a
citizens resident license. This saved
him about $1,000 but last Saturday
he found that this game was more
expensive than paying for an alien H.
cense, as Deputy state game warden
E. M. Krost had him in Court and he
plead guilty and paid a good stiff fine
for this indescretion.

Chairman French received a letter
Tuesday from Sen. Schnitzler urging
that the Republicans of this county
have such a dinner and arrange the
program so that a radio speech by
President Hoover may be heard and
made a part of the entertainment of
the evening.
President Hoover will speak at 10
P. Mr., E. S. t., over a nationwide
radio hook-up. His address will begin
at s P. NJ, mountain standard time,
His subject will be appropriated. to
the observance of the 122nd anniver-
sary Of the birth of the first Repub-
lican presidents of the United States,
For many years Lincoln day din
ners have been part of the program
of Republican organizations in east
ern cities. For the first time it has
the aid to make such events nation
wide in scope and to hold such a din
ner in every county in the nation.
With President Hoover's address CIV
ing added interest to the occasion,
Senator Schnitzler is certain that ev-
cry Montana county Republican or
ganization will take part.
Outstanding local speakers, in adj
dition to the radio address, will be
scheduled for this dinner but arrange
ments have not been completed yet.

Another aggressive advertising
campaign, with newspaper displays
columns carrying the brunt of the at
tack, is promised for this year by
r. X. White, advertising manager of
the Chevrolet Motor Company.
Long n of the nations leading
advertisers, the Chevrolet organiza-
ton lent its endorsement to the pull
ing power of the newspapers by US
ing $500 dailies and weeklies to an
nounce its new 1881 car in November,
the largest newspaper schedule ever
used by Chevrolet in one campaign
since the inception of the company.
This move was made despite sub
normal business conditions and the
general lackened promotional activi-
ties of manufacturers in and out of
the automobile industry.
eve made this move" Mr.. White
explained, because we are in direcl
accord with the frequently expressed
view that the only way to make bad
business good, good business better
is to put abnormal effort into your
activities when you face sub-normal
conditions.
mot only did we carry the largest
newspaper schedule we ever used, but
we enlisted new forms of advertising
to put our new car message across.
Both the radio and the motion picture
screen were added this year. Both
are new media in our program, and
both were added because a manufac-
turer with a national market inten-
sively cultivated cannot afford to ov-
erlook any new means of approach to
that market.
"We are continuing to use the radio
and the screen to supplement and
buttress our newspaper campaigns
just as we have always used nation
al magazines, outdoor boards, direct
mail and other media for the same
purpose.
"The newspaper, however, contin-
ues to form the backbone of our cam
paigns, and for the present will con-
tinue to do so. It, in the ~parlance Of
the gridiron, carries the ball and the |
rest run interference.

NOTES

The Peterson Company are making
many changes in their Hardware de-
partment. The old shelving is being
removed and new display stands will
be installed as soon as the walls are
painted.
When the alterations are completed
the store will be as nearly ~up-to-date
as it can be made. Leave it to the
Peterson boys to display their wares
IN the most modern manner! They
are wide awake business men as well
as real P~lentywood and Sheridan
county boosters.
They viii shortly have huge guam
titles of the best home grown seeds
on display. They get only the best,
and invariably pure or registered
seeds, all of which has been tested
for termination, and it is their boast
that unless the samples tested show
a 99.98 per cent termination test they
do not want to sell it to the farmers
of this territory.
Have Fine Seed Corn
They have hundreds of bushels of
the very finest seed corn, raised in
Sheridan County, and on this seed
they plan strongly to place it on as
many farms as possible, as they know
it is the best seed obtainable, and
believe that corr will replace wheat

Avery l.. Roser, manager of the
}. c. Penney Co, store in this city is
leaving Friday to attend the annual
Spring convention of that organiza-
ton, to be held at Portland, Oregon,
Owing to the new conditions in the
department store field which have
been brought about by drastic re-
auctions in commodity prices, the
convention, which is usually held in
April, has been moved ahead to give
all }. c. Penney Co., store managers
an opportunity to get full advantages
OF the new merchandising and price
policies of the company.
Price reductions as high as forty !
percent in many staple lines of mer-
chandise handled by the organization
have already been announced and
further announcements regarding new
price and quality standards may be
expected according to Mr.. Roesr,
Eight general convention points
have been selected for the Spring
meetings, covering all parts Of the
country, the Eastern tour being un-
der the direction Of Mr.. A. w. Hughs,
assistant to Earl C. Sans, President
Of the Penney organization, and the
Western tour under the direction of
George Mitchell of the Personnel Di-
vision of the New York office.
j. c. Penney, Founder of the j. C.
Penney Co., will make the trip on the
Western Schedule, and Lew V. Day,
Vice President and Director of Per-
sonnet will make the Eastern trip.
A notable feature of the conven-
tions will be the elimination of the
usual buying sessions and the substi-
tuition of additional programs devoc-
ed to selling methods and service
standards.
Nearly fifteen hundred managers
will attend the convention session,

The American dough boy is very
sensitive in anything that touches
upon his conduct since his dis
charge from the army. When civil
izatlon was threatened On the green
fields of France and the Allied lines
stretched from the Alps TO the
Channel Ports of France; if at that
time the German High Command
had known how thin that line was
at places, they could have easily
crashed their way through and die
tated a different peace treaty than
the one that was; but an unseen
Hand held them back until the Am
erican soldier strengthened their
thin and weary lines. He came with
head erect and vibrant tread and Of
fered his body at a target to the
Devils Sewing Machine" in the
shape of machine guns in the har.1s
of the crack troops of the German
Imperial Army,
No one can question their courage
or Valor. The windows of dead
showed where their ranks mad stood
and rows upon rows of crosses in
Flanders Field offer mute evidence
of their sacrifice upon the altar Of
their country. The World War was
a terrible one; there was no place
in the war zone exempt, it was all
battle front. Death rode the skies in
his aired steed spewing out molten
lead and deadly gas. High explosives
killed and manned far back in hos
pitfalls and training camps. This
country has been the most gener-
GUS of governments in caring for its
defenders of it's flag in times of war
and their widows and orphans. This
government will not allow one of its
disabled veterans or their depend
ents to suffer from actual want as
long as a single dollar remains in
the U. S. treasury.
Wet Survey Finds This Country
Spends $2,S4S,O0O,000 Yearly
For Rum
The Association Against the Pro-
hibitiOn Amendment in a statement
this week asserts this country is
spending nearly three billions of
dollars yearly for illicit rum. Maybe
this is what has happened to the
money question in this country, the
bootleggers have got it and are
afraid to spend it. This law seems to
work in peculiar ways. Everybody
ought to be pleased. The drys say it
is dry country; the vets say there
is a plenty of it if you have the price
There have been thousands of new
jobs created to enforce it. The boot
leggers are becoming millionaires.
Everybody seems pleased but Uncle
Sam and he seems to be the goat
But if this country is spending only
twenty-five per cent of what the as
sociation claim il is, il Is an alarm
ing affair in many ways.

The baseball reporter, w. G..
PTouse, has contributed the follow
ing poem in addition to his other in
teresting report of the game:
The Milton nine came up the line
And trimmed our club, we know,
Their pitcher Ryan was very fine,
For six good innings or so;
We tied the score SHOULD have done
more)
In the ninth's mad rush to the
fore,
But Hoyt so tall, was mean with the
ball,
We could not score a run Army
Moore
The Milton baseball club, Il very
strong aggregation, gathered from
all parts of the State, was with us
last Saturday, and beat our club in
ten inning game, that was fea-
tured by free hitting on both sides,
by a score of II to IL, but we are
glad to state that they did not make
good their threat to knock Jim Pos
ties out of the box. Jim had one
bad inning, the third. After that he
settled down and pitched bang up
game. Ryan, the wonder" pitcher
of Milton, was hit so hard in the
eighth that he quit and called it a
day. Hoyt went in and saved the
day for Milton. We tied the score
in the ninth, Milton made one run
in their half of the tenth, and we
were all set for a grand finish and
victory, BUT-we could not come
through with hits when needed.
Well, we will look forward to the
return game, and hope the Milton
boys will be spOrtsmen enough to
give us another chance.
For Memorial Day, we will have
the Greensboro club as an attraction
in the morning at 10 o'clock, and
will play them in the afternoon at
Greensboro.
The Frederica baseball fans in
sist on crowding the base lines,
which is very unfair to the players.
They are not helping our club any,
neither are they discOncerting the
and those who partici-
pate in such actions are not good
sports. We hope we will not see
such crowding again on our grounds. !

Prominent Farmer Commits Suicide
This community was shocked on
Thursday last when it became
known that Reilly Rogers of near
Harbeson had committed suicide by
shooting himself in the stomach
with a shot gun. Death was instan-
taneous. Mr.. Rogers was a practi-
cal and successful farmer. About
three years ago his wife died and
since that time he had undergone a
serious operation and at times was
despondent because he was not
physically able to do the work he
had formerly been able to do. He
leaves a daughter, mother and three
brothers. Funeral and interment was
held at Beaver Dam Church.

Memorial Day Thoughts
At this season of the year our
thoughts turn to those who died in
the defense of the flag and the
strewing of flowers upon their
graves. The majority of the men,
bers of the G. A. r. have answered |
the last roll call and passed on to
fame's eternal camping ground; the
few remaining ones footsteps have
become weary and their step is tot
tering. It is our duty to make the
road smooth as possible. "They |
fought a good fight"
1t is unfortunate that Senator
Hastings and members of the Am
erican Legion have not fully agreed |
on the merits of the bonus. No one
was compelled TO borrow money on
their bonus, it only gave them a
right to do so if the circumstances
in their case warranted il.
