lief Army

st. Paul-Many carloads Of
clothing, food and other supplies
have been sent from the North
west Drouth Relief Committee of
the Farmers Union to drOuth suf-
ferers in northwestern North Da-
kota and northeastern Montana.
M. w. Thatcher, general manager
of the Farmers Union Terminal Asso-
citation of st. Paul; C. E. Huff, presi-
dent of the Farmers National Grain
Corporation of Chicago, national CO.
operative marketing agency, and
George S. Minor, president of the
Grain Sterilization Corporation, Fed
eral Farm Board agency, have beer
in Washington to appear before the
Federal Farm Board in Washington
seeking a loan for the purchase OF
500, 900 bushels of wheat.
The loan is being asked by Mr.
Thatcher on behalf of the State Far.
mers Union organizations of Mime.
sofa, Wisconsin, North Dakota and
Montana and the Farmers Union bus
mess activities. 1t is proposed to GRIND
the wheat into flour and to use it in
the relief campaign of the Farmers
Union for drouth sufferers of north
western North Dakota and northeast
ern Montana.
Shortly after the Farmers Union
Drouth Relief Committee had an.
nounced intention of requesting such
a loan on a basis similar to that by
which Is million bushels of wheat was
sold to China, announcement was
made by the Farm Board in Wash.
irgton that the board would consider
selling wheat or cotton from surplus
stocks at market prices to relief
agencies in the United States, either
for cash or or such deferred payments
as may be agreed on.
1t was stated that such arrange.

SEASON ONB|G GAME
STARTS OCTOBER Is
Hunting Rules Very Stringent
For Buck Fever En-
thusiasts

Helena, Oct. l2-"MOntana's
open season on deer and elk be-
gins in the majority of instances
on October Is" said Robert H.
Hill, state fish and game warden
today.
Inquiries being received at state
fish and game headquarters indicate
that not only will Montana hunters
be in the field, but that scores of
sportsmen from outside the state
will take advantage of the opportu-
nifty. Reports have been received by
railroads indicating increased de-
mand for transportation destined to
Montana from east and west.
I'm view of these facts it will be
well for big game hunters entering
the field to utilize every care and
caution. Big game licenses equipped
with deer and elk tags must be car
led by men in the field. The law re-
ouires that the tag be attached to the
carcass Immediately after killing and
remain thereon until a major portion
has been consumed. Sportsmen may as
well leave their rifles as to forget
their license tags. If they overlook
carrying string or wire to attach the
tag, they may cut a strip from the
hide and attach it by means of the
buckskin whang. Deer and elk will not
be accepted by express companies for
shipment unless properly tagged, and
%carcasses without tags are considered
under the law, as illegally taken. On
the other hand, hunters in the field
with the tags torn from their licenses
are violating the law. For the first
time in the history of the department
a proper count Of deer and elk killed
will be made possible this year. The
return postal card attached to each
license, must be mailed to the depart
ment not later than Jan. l. Failure
to do so makes the holder guilty of a
misdemeanor."

Visitor Here
On Monday
and Tuesday
Obtains Ideas of Local People
and Outlines Possible Re-
lief Legislation

Congressman Scott Leavitt
was PlentywoOd's most disting-
uished visitor this week. He ar
rived late Monday evening after
having visited various parts of
Roosevelt County.
Tuesday he spent the forenoon in
terviewing his constituents here, and
at noon was a guest at a lunch given
by about twenty members of the Com
mercial Club, At that time he was
given much first hand information
relative to the situation in this coun-
ty, as we'll as the needs of this coun-
ty. He was also asked by many pres
ent to explain the attitude of the
Federal government regarding emer-
gency legislation to assist the resi-
dents here.
Federal Road Work
One of the first questions pro-
pounded to him was the matter Of OBJ
tanning some federal road work for
Sheridan county residents. He explain
Cd that at the present time our state
laws required that all road work
where projects called for an expendi-
ture of more than $1,000 required a
call for bids, and hat the federal
government paid Sc percent and the
state Of Montana the other Al percent
on such contracts. He said he intend
ad m AhfD1n pnncnnt of Al. EnIn,ol
road bureau and the State Highway
commission to allow the federal de-
rartment to fgve q stretch of road
built here and paid for by that de-
p%artment, using local labor for such
purpose, and the state department to
build another stretch of road, equal
ling the difference and paid for out
of state funds. He believed this pro-
posal would overcome the present
state requirements covering the build
ing of roads where federal aid is fur
nished.
Seed Loans
Asked about the seed loans for 49,
30, he said he was sure there would
be legislations passed to provide seed
for farmers in this territory. He be-
lieved there would be little or no OBJ
lection to this as il is considered an
absolute necessity in order that far
mers may continue on their land.
Congressman to Spokane
The congressman told his hearers
that last week he went to Spokane
where he interviewed the officials OF
the Federal Land bank there, and he
was assured by them that where il

The water rose to within Is feet Of
the surface. A test pipe was set down
1870 feet and on the first pumping
produced 20 gallons per minute. The
water was lowered about SO feet in
three hours of pumping, but rose to
the 13 foot level again as Don as
pumping ceased.
Owing to the we'll not being cased
off below the IT'S foot depth, the drill
er did not want to put the well to a
very strong test. This casing is due to
arrive here tomorrow, friday and
as soon as the casing has been run the
we'll will be given a further test,
pumping from a test pipe near the
bottom.
If this well continues to produce at
this ratio, the hard water wells in the
south end of the city will be aband-
oned, and the pumping outfit moved
to the new we'll. There is another
large we'll in the north part Of town
producing soft water, and this with
the added flow from the new well will
be adequate for our city's needs ever
tina double the usual consumption OF
water is required. Soft water is 6
luxury not often obtained in city
mains, and will mean much for Plen.

World Series Over; Local Fans
Now Getting Back to Normal
Radio Bleachers at Premium ;
Postmaster Keeps Force by
Novel Scheme

The World series ball games
are over for another year. In
Plentywood the fans were so nu-
merous that standing room about
radios were at a premium. 1t
practically disrupted all business.
Even the post office was in dang
er of having to close down owing
to Billy Ewing's determination to
take in the games over the air.
Last year he went to st. Louis to
see it from the grand stand, this
year he had decided to cast his
lot with the rest of us depress-
ionists and take his position in
the radio bleacher seats. However,
radios we're at a premium and
Bill could not take his own in
strument to the post office as his
wife wanted to ~listen-in at home.
In order to remedy the situa-
ton and keep the postoffice oper-
ating at one hundred percent ef-
ficiency Postmaster Bennett got
the happy idea of interesting
Thorstenson at the Donaldson gar
age to move his lOudspeaker to an
open window on the west side of
the garage. The distance to the
back door of the postoffice is less
than so feet, and SO Billy Ewing
worked near the back door of the
postoffice during the series and
took in the game and lost no time
from official duties.

Ruling Given
On Issuing
Mining Stock

PHOENIX, Sept. 22.-The stock
Of any corporat on cannot be sold
to residents of Arizona as part COM
pensation for labor unless the COM
pany has compiled with all the pro-
visions required to issue and sell it's
stock, under ruling of K. Berry
Peterson, made public yesterday
The opinion was written by Charles
L. Strauss, deputy attorney general.
The decision was requested by the
corporation commission in response
to a letter from the Mohave Gold
Mining company which desired to
compensate it's miners in part by
selling them stock of the company.
The letter and the plan of the min
ing company were submitted to the
attorney general for legal opinion.
Chapter SO of the revised code, the
attorney general advises, governing
investment companies and dealers in
securities, prohibits the sale of stock
to any person in the state of Ari-
Eona unless they have compiled with
the requirements of that chapter.
'It is my opinion that a sale of
the stock of the Mohave Gold Min
ing company to miners in Arizona
as outlined in it's letter." the attor-
ney general ruled, would constitute
sales to persons within the state of
Arizona and it would be necessary
for the Mohave Gold Mining COM
pany to qualify under the provisions
of chapter 38 and secure permit
to sell stock before the proposed
sale to miners in Arizona may be
made
