EXPERT PRAISES
PEK|NG MAN

PEIPING, China, Nov. Sim
portant conclusions with regard
to the Pekil-g man were an
nodnced at a meeting of the
Chinese Geological Society today.
The members agreed it had
been established that Sinan-
thropuS Pekingensis knew the use
of fire and was able to handle
stone implements with consider
able skill.
An examination of a large
quantity Of artifacts found on
the site where the skull was
discovered convinced Able Henri
Breuil, the French palentologist
who is now visiting Peiping, that
life at the period of the Peking
man was intelligently organized
and that he must have had a
much more primitive forerunner.

Quick Way
To Break Up
aCold
Makes YOu Feel Like a New Person
Almost Before You KnOuu Il

THE thing to do with cold is
l. 20 break it up in a hurry
with something you EnoW does
the job; not to trifle with lot of
trick ideas and remedies. Colds
are too dangerous to experiment
1Uith.
Get a box of Hills Cascara
Quinine at any drug store. Take
two tablets now. Then follow
directions on box. Drink lots of
water, too-that's all.
Soon that miserable. aching
feeling begins to go. The cold
breaks up. The ,poisons are
moved from your system. The
world looks like an altogether
different place.
Those results come because
Hills goes back to first principles
by going to the seat of the
trouble. It's not a new-fangled
fancy idea, but tried and proved
way that's made to do ONE
THING WELL: to knock a cold
in a jiffy.
Hills costs only a few cents.
Use it for quick relief after every
thing else you've tried has failed.

Milk Prices take a
Three Cent Drop,
Now Eight Gents

c. w. McNulty, proprietor of Nc
Nulty's dairy in P~lentywood has re-
duced his price of milk from eleven
cents to eight cents per quart deliv-
cred in Plentywood.
Mr.. McNulty says that the open
winter and mild weather has i%ncreas-
ed his milk supply so much above the
average at this time of the year, and
the further fact that cost OF feeding
his cows has been reduced to such an
extent that he is passing this benefit
on to his customers and by making
this big reduction most of his Gust
omers have increased their milk or
ders so that there is no loss entailed
through this reduced price.
We have also been informed that
when a state dairy Inspector was here
recently he took samples of the milk
from the various diaries here and the
report shows that the Babcock test
indicates McNulty milk is up to the
standard required by the State dairy
laws, and tests $50 butter fat.

Family will Move
TO Ranch Home

Chris Lindorff, one of Plentywood S
substantial citizens and alderman
from the North Ward for the last
two terms has decided to enter the
farming game again after having
lived in Plentywood several years. He
has leased the S. E. Paul ranch north
of Redstone, and has purchased a
complete line of farm machinery,
horses, cattle and other things neces-
sary to go after the farming game on
a considerable scale. He has sold his
home in P~lentywood and expects to
be settled with his family at the Paul
ranch in the course of a very few
days now
We are sorry to lose the Lindorff
family from Plentywood but wish
them all kinds of success in their new
undertaking, and are mighty pleased
to know that they will still reside in
Sheridan county.

TO HOLD HEARING
AT Wolf POINT

The hearing on the application Of
the Westland Oil Company to the In
terstate Commerce Commission for
a reduction of petroleum freight rates
into northeastern Montana from the
Oklahoma oil fields has been set for
April 16 at the Hotel Sherman in
Wolf Point, according to information
received from the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
The hearing will be held before
j. E. Smith, who will represent the
Commission as examiner. This action
of the Commission follows the recent
filing Of a complaint by the Westland
Oil Company, which operates in north
eastern Montana as a marketer of
petroleum products. The complaint al
leges that freight rates from Oklaho-
ma into northeastern Montana are ex-
horbitant and unreasonable as COM
pared to freight rates on petroleum
products into adjacent territory i'm
mediately to the east and asks that
these petroleum. freight rates be re-
duced in proportion to those in effect
in localities east Of the Montana
border.
Those who are interested in the
case may attend the hearing at Wolf
Point as it is open to the public.

INDEPENDENT CACERS
WIN FROM C

Last Friday evening the local In
dependent cage tossers defeated a
fast quint of players from Alkabo,
Noonan and Ambrose, North Dakota
to a one sided score of 46 to II. The
game was rather slow throughout,
but several times some fast basket
bal was shown. The start of the game
the visitors took the lead but were
soon overtaken and headed by the
local quint who found the hoop for
counters practically at will.
A tentative game with Homestead
who succeeded in winning from the
Rangers on their floor early in the
season but were later vanquished here
by the locals, is being planned, to be
possibly played on a neutral floor.

AIR PORT Will Be
ESTABLISHED HERE

The City Of Plentywood has decid-
ed to purchase an air port providing
a suitable tract of land at an attrac-
tive price can be selected. Several
sites have been inspected, and in this
issue of the Herald will be found a
call for bids for such a tract of land.
The fact that Port of Entry has
been designated at Raymond with a
Customs officer located there, will
mean that in a short time there will
also be an immigration office estab-
lished there, and it is partly with an
eye towards having this designated
as an air port for planes coming here
from Canada hat this air port has
been decided upon.
However, there is seldom a week
goes by blu that does not bring some
air man to Plentywood, and one of
the most perplexing problems for
them are to find a landing place. By
having a suitable field near town
marked and laid out for such landing
and taking off purposes, it will be-
come known to all flyers in the near
future, and no further hesitancy will
bes hown when the plane is scheduled
to land in Plentywood.

Remains
Silent as to His
Plans for Future

WASHINGTON, Feb. H.
(AP)-Everything in connection
with the reported resignation of
chairman Legge from the farm
board on March 4 appears about
correct, but the information still
is entirely unofficial.
At the White House today it was
said the president has received no no.
tice Of Mr.. Legge's intention to retire
on that date and the chairman was
represented at the board as not
"having the slightest idea when he
will quit"
Personally, Legge neither affirms
nor denies the report-and attitude
he has taken every time the subject
has been presented to him during the
last two months. There has been hard
~ a press conference since June Ii
1880, when his term expired, and he
acquisced to President Hoover's re-
quest that he continue, that he has
not been asked when he intends to re-
sign.

MEDICINE LAKE BOY
INSTANTLY KILLED
when HORSE FALLS
Johnny Harrison Found Dead
In Road Last Sunday
Morning

Johnny Harrison, 26 year old
Son of Mrs. Fred Brein of Med
icine Lake was instantly killed
early Sunday morning in the
road in front of the Griffin
school house about ten miles east
of the town of Medicine Lake.
The horse upon which he was rid
ing had fallen with the unfortu-
nate boy and crushed his body
badly.
The unfortunate young man had
attended a dance at the school house
and was amongst the last m to
leave the building. He had ridden
horseback to the dance, and had Dor
rowed a horse from Charles Norton to
go there. This horse was evidently
very high spirited and quite cold from
having stood in a cold barn during
the night. No one saw the accident
but from an investigation made by
G. f. Fulkerson, deputy county cor
oner, it is apparent that the horse
had tried to run away or else baked
himself into the woven wire fence
alongside of the road leading to the
barn across the highway from the
school house. Everyone had gone
home when the accident occurred anG
the body was not discovered unit

The body was taken to his home
the same afternoon and the funera

fOO|-prOof Plane
Which will Land
Itself Gets Test

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-(AP)-
foolproof airplane which its in
ventor claims will neither stall,
spin nor dive and will land Itself
is the latest contribution to SAT-
ETY. in the air.
While more than 100 a~eronoutical
experts and financiers watched, the
plane was successfully tested at Glen
H. Curtis air port yesterday. Piloted
by Henry White, it made a half a
dozen short flights and came to a
near perfect landing each time with
the pilots hands high above his head.
The designer is A. A. Merrill of
White Plains, N. Y, formerly in
charge of aeronautical research of the
California institute of technology and
a contemporary of the Wright broth
ers, Octave Chanute and Lagley. He
has been working On the plane since
1918 and at one time was forced to
mortgage his life insurance to con-
tinue.
Movable wings which al be ad-
iusted over an arc of IA degrees are
the secret of the planes stability. In
flight, these restricted flying surf
aces prevent a pilot from unwittingly
going into a stall or a dive. In lano-
ing, the mechanically level off at the
proper distance from the ground and
assume the proper gliding angle.
The pilot controls the wings from
the cockpit by a crank and pushrod
mechanism which is calibrated arbit-
rarily and rotates from zero, in re-
spect to the fueselage, to an angle o1
incidence of Ia degrees. In taking of
preserve his trim. When landing, ne
chanks them to the maximum point
locks the crank and allows the plane
to drift downward.
at is not so much what it will do
Mr.. Merrill said, "as what it will moi
do this is important. 1t is definitely
a plane to fly and not to stunt be-
cause you cannot stunt it,"
