THE PORT OF ENTRY

That Port of Entry and the establish
ment of the y. S. Customs and immigration
officials at Raymond has been a long drawn
out fight by the Plentywood Commercial
Club. Now that the Canadian Port has been
opened at the boundary line let us hope
that the red-tape at Washington will have
been sufficiently unwound to permit our
authorities there to order the immediate OPP
ening of the Port of Entry at Raymond.
This will mean considerable for Plenty
wood. 1t will bring much trade from Canada
which otherwise would never come here ow-
ing to the roundabout way to reach here.
Even now, until that Port is opened we
will still have a round about trip coming
back fro mCanada, in order to report to our
customs officials at Dooley. 1t will be easy
to enter Canada but in order to obtain our
clearance on this side on returning here we
will haevto go to Dooley and report in
At the present time, if our Border Pa
troll officers pick up some party that has
come across the boundary without a proper
pass, it becomes necessary for them to drive
to Scobey and lodge the party in Jail there.
and in a few days return there to attend the
hearing. This makes two trips of a hundred
miles; whereas if someone fails to make
proper entry and are picked up after this
Port is opened at Raymond, it will mean that
the illegal entrant will be held here in Plen-
tywood and the hearing before the u. S.
Commissioners will also be held here.
Last year about a score Of parties were
picked up in the vicinity of Plentywood and
taken to Scobey for a hearing, after which
they were either discharged or else removed
to Great Falls for deportation hearings in
the Federal court there. Each one Of these
illegal entrants required two trips to Scobey
or about 1000 miles of travel.
We sincerely hope that the Port will be
established at Raymond in the very near flu
ture. 1t will bring much tourist traffic and
trade from Canada here and vice-versa.

County Starts Custer
Against Kelly Family

An action has been commenced in
the District court by County attorney
Blackwell to GUST D. w. Kelly and his
family from the premises which they
have occupied in Plentywood for the
last two decades, inasmuch as they
have failed to pay the taxes On this
property for a long time past. Kelly
and his wife will be given 20 days
in which to answer the complaint.
Sheridan county is determined to
gain possession of these premises
whereas Kelly will resist such action
with his usual stubborn court fight
ing.
The property involved is a commo-
dious five room home and two lots
| across the street south from the
Zeidler residence. There are several
| shed barns at the zeal end of the lot
| that have been used as a dairy and
much against the wishes Of neigh
bors as we'll as the hospital which is
nearby.

To Hold a Series
Of Meetings

Where? At the Evangelical church
of this city. Plans have been made
for some time fora series of special
meetings and the time has come
when we have set the dates and are
ableto make them known to the pub
lie. We wish to extend a very cordial
welcome to all-not the "all'- the
people of Plentywood and community
to attend at least some or all of these
meetings and we assure you that they
will be Of great spiritual benefit to
you.
Who will speak? The Rev. H. C.
Knuth of Walcott, N. D., will be the
speaker. He is pastor of the Evan
gelical Church of that city and has
responded to the invitation to give
US two weeks of his ministry.
Can he speak? The Rev. Knuth
has been blessed of the Lord with a
very powerful voice and there is no
difficulty in understanding him. It is
always a pleasure to listen to him
proclaim the Word of God. He is able
to sing we'll also, but when he speaks
much, he would rather not do too
much singing.
Does he know the Bible? He has
had about ten years experience in the
ministry of the Gospel, since he came
from Bible school, and has always
been active in his work. This would
mean the meeting with many prob
lens and difficulties which must be
solved by the Bible and, by the help
of the Lord, it has grounded him
more thoroughly in the word of God.
Would he fail? Yes. he would fail
if the conditions are not met. He is
human as we'll as we all are and un-
less we, as Christian people, stand
behind him in prayer and hold hin
up before the throne of God, little
can be expected in the way Of spirit.
! ual blessings and help. We therefore
would encourage all Christian people
everywhere to take these specia
meetings upon your heart and pra,
that God will send US a great spirit
ual awakening.
What is the object of such meet
ings? The object is not that of al
increase of our membership, altho w
shall welcome anyone who wishes t.
unite with us, but it is toa walker
people to spiritual things and prom
ote going by winning them to Jesu
Christ. 1t is our desire that all tn
churches of our city shall prsGt thr1
these meetings. A spiritual awaken
ing will promote and encourage NOR
reading of the Bible and it will ais
cause more people to spend more tim
with God in prayer.
There will be good singing and spe
cial singing such as solos, duets
quartets, choir etc. There will be meet
ing every evening.
Song service begins at 700 P. M.
Preaching service at 7:30 P. M.

TAYLOR AND HIS BEER PARTY

Dear Sir:
In the last issue Of the Producers
News | note the ex-senator quoted
some passages of scripture. | also saw
where Oscar Collins was supposed to
have tipped off Dwyer and Estes to
close their business place for a few
minutes while the dry squad was in
town. Taylor never misses a chance
to plaster our chief of police and The
Herald editor. Maybe these men would
not refuse a glass of beer if it was
offered to them. But what Of it? /
remember the time when Mr.. Collins
and Mr.. Stoner carried Taylor down
into the county Jail so drunk that it
was necessary to dump him into the
bath tub there and souse him with
ice cold water to sober him up so
that he could navigate. l also remem-
Der the beer party that Taylor pulled
in the News office. Taylor asked me
not to saw anything about it.
People who live in glass houses
should not throw stones, and COM
munists who would wreck our coun-
try all the time quoting Scriptures
as a guise, should know better.
Yours truly,

FROM TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION

FROM TAMPA ERS ASSOCIATION
Dear Editor:
Last week the Producers News saw
fit to give us another rap on the chin.
What has become of the Sheridan
County Taxpayers Association? Gone
home-to sleep? Well.
Perhaps the officers of the Associ-
alton need to bea Weakened, or re-
moved or something. The undersign-
ed is willing to ~relinquish his office
any time, so that a more militant per-
son may have the chance. And by
the way, you may have received by
this time a notice of our meeting to
be called at Antelope the afternoon
of February 18th. Here win be a
chance for everyone to come and be
heard. We have had this meeting in
mind for some time but other circum-
stances have prevented from time to
time. We hope representatives of the
press will be in attendance.
AS to the embarrassing" and
other matters connected with that
noted Examiners Report we have done
as we thought best under the circum-
stances. If someone else wants to go
ahead with it they are welcome, if
they have the finances and will as
sumo the moral responsibility for the
results.
For the information Of everyone we
will lsay that we have been busy the
past month or so, at that. This seems
to US an important time to push leg
islative remedies that are needed for
the taxpayers, and this is what we
have been doing. Our representatives
are anxious to hear from us back
home. And it seems that our news
papers, our former representatives,
and other experienced parties whose
advice and services are needed have
been so strangely silent at this time
There will be two years before we
get another chance. Laws made OF
unmade now will either help or leave
taxpayers just where he is or worse
We feel that legislative matter is
the more important at this time ant
this has been stressed both at my
meeting with the Plentywood Com
mercial Club and last night with the
Reserve Commercial Club, at both o.
which a keen interest and a hearty
response was manifested. In Other
ways also we have been actively
working for the taxpayers, even in co
operation with other Taxpayers Asso
Citations in the State. However, WI

School Spinters

The teachers of the Plentywood
schools held an interesting meeting
on Wednesday of last week after
partaking of a lunch prepared by four
of the lady members of the staff. Two
Of the more important question be-
fore the. educational world, Character,
Citizenship training, were the chief
subjects for discussion.
Mr.. Stegner, in a few remarks,
presented the topic after which Miss
Beryl Granger surveyed the aims and
the material of the character training
work books, as used in the fourth,
fifth and sixth grades.
These books represent a formal
type of character education where
definite time is provided in the cur
riculum for training in character and
citizenship. A discussion followed in
which it was generally agreed that in
the intermediate grades, formal in
struction in character is most valu-
able, but that above or below these
grades it should be incidental, or in
other words, should be taken up as
the opportunity presents itself.
Developing character is understood
as increasing a pupils ability to con-
duct himself physically, morally men,
tally and socially in the best and &C.
cepted manner. How much of it the
school is responsible for, becomes the
teachers problem. 1t was generally
conceded that the home exerts a
profund influence on a child's devel-
ompent but where the home leaves
off. there the school must begin.
Miss Brix talked on the work of
the Junior Red Cross as a means Of
Character and Citizenship training.
This organization functions in the
third, fourth and fifth grades and
aims to foster the spirit of friendli-
ness for these actual experiences in
developing good traits of Character
and Citizenship. the concern becomes
how much of it is transferred into ac-
tual life. MI. Stegner asked the ques-
ton, EDO habits, if practiced long en-
ought, become character traits" 1t
was felt that the justification for
formal character training was based

TRULY, A PAINLESS" TAX
Glasgow Times)


The Montana Oil Journal takes excep-
ton to the increased trend of Legislators to
levy taxes on gasoline, being of the opinion
that the public is becoming weary of being
painlessly" taxed.
We question the correctness of the
Journal editors observations. The gasoline
tax when spent as in Montana, wholly on
highway Improvements, becomes in effect
almost an ideal tax. 1t apportions to the per-
son benefited in almost an ideal ratio the
cost of the benefit received. The only posi-
BILE abuse of the tax, it would seem, would
be where it was levied to build highways
not needed or of too expensive construction.
Neither OF these situations exist to any APP
preciable exent-certainly not in Montana.
From the %refiner's standpoint, of
course, the tax boosts the price of gasoline,
which has a psychological effect upon the
consumer, u%suelly reflected in a somewhat
increased belligerent attitude toward refin-
ers. If the truth were known, however, the
%refiner probably gains handsomely from the
tax through the tremendous increase of gas
oline sales brought about directly by the
greater use of improved highways.
