Fine Weather
Prevailing in
Entire State
Indian Summer Lingers in
Lap of Boreas which Plea
ses all But Coal-men

The finest weather ever known in
this part of Montana is now being
thoroughly enjoyed by the residents
of Sheridan County. 1t is really I'M
fair to call this winter weather, as
it is more like late Indian summer,
with just enough frost at night to
add a tang. Hardly a day passes
that the mercury does not rise to 40
degrees, and only one night has it
fallen as low at 10 above r
Golf Bugs Out
On New Years Day added enthu-
siasm was found when a number Of
u golf bugs appeared on the Golf
Links in their regular golfing togs
and some of them played Is holes as
the weather was so exceedingly fine.
Hardly a day passes 10Y that the
Links are not used by some of the
Golf Bugs.
Another thing which is not usually
seer at this time of the year is 60
pliers, but on New Years Day they
were playing around in the hills
south of Archer.

City Firemen
Elect Officers
the Year
Officers from Last Year are
Again Reelected; Have
Excellent Record

The brentwood Firemen met for
their annual election on Sunday al
ternoon and reelected the officers
that have served for so many years
past. L. f. Helm is Chief, which po-
sition he has continued to hold since
1913; l.. G. Zeidler is Assistant chief
with almost the same length Of SER
vice in that office. A. j. LANCER is
Secretary-Treasurer M. S. Nelson,
Captain of the Hose Company with
Frank Guenther as assistant, and +.
j. Fishbeck Captain of the Chemical
company.
The Plentywood Fire Company has
an enviable reputation for their re-
markable success in putting out fires.
The fire losses in Plentywood are far
below the average for cities of this
size, and they are entitled to a great
amount of credit for the prompt re-
sponses they always give when the
fire siren sends it's chilly warning
that the fire fiend has broken out.
For the past two years they have
not received any payment for their
services through taxation and the
only means whereby they obtain any
funds for such work is through the
annual Fireman's Ball, but the pub
lie appreciates their services at that
time by responding literally by pur-
chasing tickets to the Ball. However;
even without any other financial re-
Enumeration our firemen respond will
ingly whenever their services are
needed, and place their lives in jeo-
pardy at almost every fire. 1t is only
through this daring on their part that
they have been so uniformity. success
full at the blazes here.
Firemen's Relief Association
The local firemen also held their
annual election of officers for the
Firemen's Relief Association, which
is an organization created by State
law by which the Fire Insurance Co.
are requested to pay a portion of their
insurance premiums into a fund to be
used for caring for disabled firemeni
or for the families of firemen whose
main supporter lost his life in the
line of duty while fighting fires.
The officers elected were l.. G. lei

Statement to PentyU00d
Herald, Producers NeWS

AS near as we are able to learn from the Produ-
GERS News and from a personal visit from Rodney Sal
isbury, it seems that the Producers News is trying to
prejudice us with the people of Sheridan County for
not advertising with them.
At the time we made our Advertising budget for
1881, we allowed the Producers News $3.50 and
the Plentywood Herald $136.8 80. This was before the
editorial policy of the Producers News was SO openly
against those who paid the bills of the Producers News
with their advertising.
In checking back over our advertising records
it is interesting to note that since the c. Penney Co.
store came to Plentywood which was in June Of 1927
we have spent $24l8.37 with the Producers News for
advertising and 81 ,246. 46 with the P~lentywood Her
aid This does not include a small bill from the Pro-
ducers News for December, which up to the present
time has not been presented for payment.
We invite anyone who may wish to verify the
above statement to call at the store and go over our re-
cords.

Play Return Game
Homestead played a return game
with the Plentywood Independents
on the local maple court last Friday
evening which resulted in a victory
for the locals by a 81 to 35 count.
The game was considered by fans
as one of the fastest and best exhi-
bition of basket ball we witnessed
in Plentywood. Both teams played a
very strong defensive game, and were
forced to resort to long throws which
found the hoop for most of the
points. The score was tied several
times throughout the tilt and a last
minute scoring attack by DR.. Halls
Boys, gave them a A point lead when
the gun sounded, ending the contest.
The officials for the game were E.

ton of all who know the game.

Of Enforcement; See

l.. M. Parks, representing the Mon
tana-Dakota Power Company is here
in Plentywood now to take care of the
interference that has been spelling
radio reception for years past. A
check-up was made some weeks ago
which indicates over 400 interfering
device of all kinds, name, nature and
description, all of which will have to
be fixed by placing eliminators on
them.
The Power Company is placing
these eliminators on at actual whole
sale cost and giving their services abb
solutely free.
Want Cooperation
The Radio Club wants all the people
in Plentywood to cooperate and have
their interfering devices corrected,
and if anyone refuses to do so, the
ordinance covering such trouble max
ing devices will be invoked and the
owner hailed into police court, as this
radio interference must tease. More
than two hundred devices have al
ready been corrected by placing ell
iminators On same, but there are
about 400 to be fixed yet.
We sincerely hope that no one will
refuse to have these eliminators in
stalled when it is done without charge
excepting the bare wholesale cost of
the device.
Call for Sweepers
Orville Johnson, of the Plentywood
Implement Company will call at hou-
SEES for the vacuum sweepers and take
them to their shop and the Power
Company representatives will put on
the eliminators and the sweeper re-
turned the same day. Other devices
which cannot be moved will be re-
paired at the dwelling or business
places as quickly as possible.
The cost will be included in next
months electric bill, and will in
most instances be less than $500 for
each device.
