SHALL WE HAVE THE DOLE
News

1t is estimated that between twenty
and twenty-five million people in this coun-
vt will require some measure of help during
the next nine or ten months in order to live.
Some millions are now receiving aid from
one source or another and the number is
certain to be largely to which many people
are now giving very serious thought is, how
and by what agencies is this necessary aid
to be extended2 The Red Cross has its rep
resentatives making surveys of conditions in
the drouth-stricken regions OF the Dakotas
and Montana at the present time. 1t will UNI
dertake to provide for the necessities Of
many thousands of people who have been
left utterly helpless by the loss Of crops from
the lack of moisture. Other regions of the
country where similar misfortunes nave be-
fallen will be similarly taken care of by this
organization. But while the Red Cross is a
most beneficien institution, its scopes of &C

suffering and in need because of some act

far as their always limited poor funds will
permit. Several hundred cities are members
of a chest fund association which has set
forth to raise about $50, 000,0 900 for the aid
of those who are unable to help themselves.
But the amount of assistance given by all Of
these agencies will not be enough, or any
thing like it, to meet the needs. From what
source is the balance to come? The natural
assumption is that the federal government
will nave to enter the lists as he heaviest con-
tributor Of funds for relief. The new cong
ress will convene the first Monday in De-
cember, if not sooner called together by the
President. The converting Of the congress
will very likely be nearly contemporaneous
with the beginning of winter. Immediately
all of the members will be flooded with pit
eous appeals for help. The natural impulse
of all of them will be to do something" at
once. That something" will naturally take
the form of demands pom the federal trea-
sury for great sums of money with which to
feed the starving, clothe the naked and pro-
vide shelter for the shelterless. Unless a plan
has previously been most carefully worked
out by administration officials, a great vast
age Of public funds is almost certain to re-
suit. This will be the third winter of wide
spread unemployment and distress. In the
minds of many people, it is becoming some

PARTY ENROUTE TO
|P'WOOD LAND In JAIL
miles City Starr

Visiting during Wednesday night
in Miles City in one old Nash auto
mobile, and returning early Thurs
day morning to the camp grounds at
Jordon with two automobiles, n
Pontiac, brought imprisonment IN
Miles City for W. V. Shurtleff and
Clarence Jones. Shurneff is being
held in the city jail, while Jones is
confined to the county jail.
The removal Of the cars was report
ed to the authorities during Thurs
day. One, the Oakland was taken
from in front of the premises Of Mrs.
Mitros ON the Island and the other,
from in front of the Nash agency, the
authorities report. w. P. Cahill, dep
uty sheriff, accompanied by H. A.
Searles Of Billings, who was visiting
in the north country on department
of justice matters, encountered two
cars leaving Jordon. Officer Cahill
recognized the Oakland car, and with
Mr.. Searles as a passenger, turned
around and gave chase. He caught up
with the fleeing drivers and finally
succeeded in stopping the Oakland
car. The officer had no knowledge of
the loss of the Pontiac, and the driver
of that car went on and has not as
yet been apprehended.
Returning to Jordon, it was learned
that John Hager, who was in that
city on business happened to run ac-
ross the Pontiac. 1t develops that he
has an interest in the car. He inquir-
ed how Shurtleff, Jones and Thomp-
son, the latter the son-in-law of
Shurtleff, got possession of the Pom
lac, having knowledge of the loss of
the Otkland. He was told that the car
| was purchased for cash. AS he has an
| interest in the car he became suspic-
; ious and went to the sheriff's office

member of his party.
When told that he was likely to
lost a son-in-law, re replied:
"Oh, l suppose So" Reference was
made to Thompson still at large.
Asked what Jones was doing with
the party, the father replied:
80, | think he is smitten on my l6
year old daughter" In a previous
inquiry of Jones why he was travel
ing with the Shurtleff party, and
pressed further, stated that it would
be embarrassing to him to answer all
the questions asked of him.
Shurtleff says ne is AZ years Of
age, has light hair, a mild reddish
complexion and weighs around ITO
pounds. He declares he is innocent of
any wrong-doing in the matter and
seems to be unable to explain how the
other two male members of his party
went to Miles City last Wednesday
in one car and came back with two.

A SONG OF THE FOUR
SEASONS

By dustin Dobson
When Spring comes laughing
By vale and hill,
By wi11d-hower walking
And daffodil,-
Sing stars of morning,
Sing morning skies,
Sing blue of speedwell,-S
And my Loves eyes.
When comes the Summer
Full-leaved and strong,
And gay birds gossip
The orchard long,
Sing hid, sweet honey
That no bee sips;
Sing red, red, roses, -
And my Loves lips.
When Autumn scatters
The leaves again,
And piled sheaves bury
The broad-wheeled wain,-
Sing flutes of harvest
Where men rejoice;
Sing rounds of reapers,-
And my Loves voice.
But when comes WinteE
With hail and storms
And red fire roaring
And ingle warm,-
Sing first sad going
Of friends that part;
Then sing glad meeting,-
And my Loves heart.

NEW MOTHERS
DAY PLAN SET .

A new plan for observing
Mothers Day, which will do away
with the commercialization of it,
will receive strong support here,
it was assured yesterday.
Sponsored by the Golden Rule
Foundation of New York, the
movement would have church
members and organizations show
their regard for mothers through
donations to a fund for under
privileged children and aged
women throughout the world.
Charles v. Vickery, president of
the foundation, explained to a
group at the Federal Council of
Churches of Christ in America
that:
Mothers Day has become
seriously cOlmmercialiZed."
He advocated support of the
move to care for starving mothers,
pointing out there was no more
fitting observance of the day pos
sible. He added the movement
has the support of many notable
figures, including Mrs. Franklin
D. Roosevelt, honorary chairman.
An organization committee was
formed here yesterday and a per
manent committee will be canned.

Solves Problem
my little daughter, Marguerite,

MY little daughter, Marguerite.
NA caused me many anxious
moments" says Mrs. G. NJ. Sweeney,
315 E ST., S. E., Washington. "She
was underweight, didn't want to
play and had very little appetite.
"She suffered constantly from colds
until l heard about California Fig
Syrup and decided to give her some.
Fig Syrup has helped her remarkably.
She is now strong; able to avoid colds,
has a good appetite and digestion;
is quite the picture of health as you
can See."
For over so years, California Fig
Syrup has been helping bilious,
headachy. weak, constipated babies
and children. Doctors by thousands
recommend this p ure vegetable prod
uct. Children love its flavor. It acts
gently to open the bowels in colds
or children'S diseases. 1t cleanses a
child's system har mlessly and in a
hurry. Bowels bee ONE regular with
its use and remain so, because they
are toned and rengthened by this
wonderful combination of pure fig
syrup and elixir of senna.
Look for the name California when
buying. That marks the genuine.

PROJECTS
Needs of Town Discussed at

and Community Officials

ROCKVILLE, Md. March s.
Rockville's needs were discussed
today at q meeting Of the Rotary
Club attended by the county com
missioners, State Senator Robert
Hilton and Mayor Roger Spates
and the town council.
Town Return Low
It was pointed out that the
town of Rockville has q taxable
basis Of $1,800,0 and pays the
same tax that is levied in the
whole district and only receives
a return from the county Of less
than 500. Among the projects
which Rockville needs is the wild
ening of all streets adjacent to
the courthouse to permit angle
parking.
Road Needs Scanned
All Of the II projects, save
one, pertain to road improve
ment. One suggestion made was
that a new elementary school be
erected and that the county au
thorities purchase q new site.
The estimated cost of the i'm
provements discussed would not
exceed $130,000, exclusive of the
school outlay.

Delegate EngIe's Bill Seeks !
to Bring Poor Home Rule
Under Civil Service Law

n ANNAPOLIS, Md, March S.
ANY person believing that poll.
tics is lacking in the present coun.
ty control of almshouseS is sin
.gularly naive" Delegate Lavinia
Engle, of Montgomery county, said
last night in answer to accusa-
tions that the proposal to merge
county almshouses into two State
institutions is scheme to supply
political jobs for constituents of its
sponsors.
= Discussing the matter, Miss
Engle declared:
"Our plan is the outcome of
a long research into the neceSr
sity of taking almShOuse con
troll under State supervision.
Two commissions have made re-
(, ports to Governor Ritchie on
! the subject and we have hardy
administration backing.
So InfirmarieS Favored
Both commissions, ono for
the Eastern and one for the,
Western shore Of the State, re-
, port that the only way to give
; the INDECENT aged proper care
and attention is through State
infirmaries.
"In the majority of aims
houses in the State superinten-
dents hold their jobs through
county politics. Under our
plan superintendent and other
b, employees will be appointed
through the civil service COM
mission under the merit system.
The merit system of this State
Is nationally recognized"
Answers Objections
It has been stated by many
opponents Of the measure, Miss
Engle continued, that it would
be irhumane to take the aged
from their home counties and
place them in a large institu-
ton. It has been said that it
would keep their visitors away.
A recent survey into this phase
Of the matter at hand shows
that only a small portion of in
mates of these institutions spent
even a fraction Of their lives in
these counties. The average in
mate receives about one visitor
o. year.
g The proposed bill is expected
to be submitted to the house OF
delegates within the next 10
days.
