SURE MAKES A lot Of differ
ence who you are. when 1t comes
to getting quoted in the papers.
When Senator Morris Sheppard
made public a letter received by
him from the assistant secretary Of
war regarding the proposed aban-
donment Of Fort Brown, that let
ter Immediately became news.
AS a matter of fact. the content
OF that letter was almost word for
ceived In Brownsville some weeks
ago.
Mr.. Payne merely quoted from
the army report which first set
forth the idea Of abandoning the
local fort in his answer to the
protest wired him by the senator.
Status OF Fort Brown has NOT
been definitely settled. There still
remains the same ch-nce TO keep
the fort that existed when the pro-
posal was first advanced.
The Valley and Brownsville have
Just as much reason today 70 hope
that the fort will be allowed TO re-
main as we had the day we started
the fight to keep II.
RIGHT NOW blessings are be-
ing heaped upon the heads OF
those responsible for the construc-
ton of the paved road to Boca
Chica.
That road is bringing pleasure TO
literally thousands OF Valley resi-
dents every week end. and 10 hun
dreds on practically every day in
the week.
The road has brought the ocean
to the back door OF Brownsville.
1t gives the kids a playground. and
the parents have found pleasure In
that same playground.
Offhand IL is hard TO think OF
any paved road in the Valley as
appreciated during this summer
season.
KIND OF BRINGS us all a lit
tie closer 10 those boys who made
IL from New foundland 10 Berlin 10
kraegg that Wiley Post has been
fredSr-nt visitor in Brownsville in
the past, doesn't it7
This airport Of ours brings us In
contact with celebrities OF all
kinds. Men and women who would
never have perhaps even heard OF
Brownsville know Of the city n
of the Valley.
Brownsville? Brownsville. Tex
as? Sure. that's a good camp IN
a good country. I've been IN
Brownsville lots Of times when |
was flying for the c. A. T. or the
Pan-American."
Or-"Brownsville? Why that's
the delightful city in that delight
full Valley country where we spent
the night en- route from Panama"
Hats off to the airport and 10
those responsible for II.
RATHER THAN have no road al
all through Kennedy county on the
Hug-the-Coast route, perhaps a
toll road will do. There's some
thing about a toll road that nobody
likes. 1t CRATES on us all.
II We can get IL dIly OtHcI way
mebbe the toll idea Is the solution.
But let's figure hard before we
are definitely committed 10 the
proposal.
EAST TEXAS OIL wells seem 70
be solving the over-production
problem in their own inimitable
way.
The oil seems TO be burning up
about as fast as IL ONE from the
ground.
We may be spared that special
session of the legislature yet.

Each egg of any predatory bird
named in the above schedule will
be counted.
The rules of the contest require
the appointment of a local committee
for the purpose of counting and
checking persons in the county de-
stroying any predatory animals or
birds listed above report the number
with satisfactory evidence of such
destruction to such committee.
AS a further inducement to indivi-
duals, the local chapter of the Izaak
Walton league offers to distribute
one half of any club money you may
help it win, to the three highest
point scorers in the county.
The committee selected to have
charge of the contest in Sheridan
County is composed of Carl B. Peter
son, Walter Raess, and Niels Madsen,
all of Plentywood.
Help to protect and perpetuate our
wild life by taking part in this con-
test to destroy some of its common
enemies.
This is worth while for us all to
consider and take an active interest
in the contest. Someone may be a big
winner, from Sheridan county.

CLAIMS WILLYS BEST
Low PRICED CAR

Commenting on the current WHY'S
line, Sir William stated that the low
priced WHY'S skies and Fights are far
ahead of anything ever produced by
Willys-Overland, competing favorably
in the foreign markets with the pro
ducts of every other manufacturer,
while the 1881 Willys-Knight is this
most beautiful car in its price class.
ut is a splendid move for WHY'S
Overland to make safety glass avail
able in all its models. Safety glass mas
taken a strong hold in Europe, the
majority of our cars coming through
with that equipment. | feel certain
that within a couple of years the
compulsory use of safety glass in all
cars will become universal"
Quizzed about automobile speed re-
striction in England, Sir William re-
piled that there are no speed laws.
"Our minister of transport puts it
right up to the motorists, and so long
as he drives safely, without ~endanger-
ing life or property, the matter of
speed is not limited" he said.
millions of pounds are now spent
annually in our country on expansion
of our highway system and road inn
provements. Our older highways.
many of which had numerous r
are being rebuilt and Strengthened to
further enhance safety in driving"
Sir William is a golf enthusiast and
when asked about the British repre-
sentation at Inverness during the Ma
tional Open in July, he sad:
you may rest assured of a strong
contingent of British golfers at the
tournament and / know those who
have not played the course before will
not be disappointed"
Sir William will spend a week or
ten days at the WHY'S Overland
plant and will sail for home in about
two weeks.

ments are nice ones and the Seniors
are justly proud of them. The an
nouncements and individual cards
were bought through the local news
papers.
The Senior Play Only Me" given
last Thursday was a success in every
way. 1t was an especially good play
and the parts we'll rendered. Financi-
ally, considering the present times,
the play was also a success. The
Seniors will nave about fifty dollars
clear after paying the royalty on the
play and for the use of the theatre.
The Plentywood Grades again won
the County Interscholastic Roundup
in last Saturdays competition. The
margin was not great, however, as
Outlook was a close second. We're
going to try for a larger lead next
year. Winners will be announced
later by Miss Markuson.
Gwendolyn Christianson won the
local Declamatory contest and will re-
present the Plentywood High school
at the Statewide Interscholastic
meet to be held in Missoula this week.
Olive Paske was second and the 9TH
err four contestants also did we'll.
Since Plentywood is so far from these
cities in which the State contests are
held our High School cannot take
part in as many of such events as we
would like.
At the Big Four Meet in gilbert
son, our team scored a first in the
broad jump, tied for second in the
high jump and took third place in the
half-mile relay. Last Friday Coach
Slaght took four of the boys to Sidney
and the best we could do was to take
second place in the half-mile relay,
Glendive came up from the south to
compete with the winners at the Gull
bertson meet.
Those teachers who are teaching in
the Plentywood Schools for the first
time this year, are entertaining the
"Old" teachers at a picnic on Wednes-
day Of this week. This is in return
for a similar party given to the New
teachers by the "Old" teachers last
fall.
Only ten more school days after
Thursday this week. Examination
schedules are already being worked
out and it is hoped that every one
concerned will make school work their
main interest next two weeks. A
strong finish may make up for some
loafing through the year. School will
close on Thursday, the twenty eighth,

Local Boys Give Amos
I Andy Play, Crosby

Kermit Helgcson and Leonard Heg-
land put on their famous "Amos and
Andy" skit before a large audience
at the Crosby High School auditorium
during the National Music week pro-
gram held there about two weeks ago.
They made a hit with the audience
according to the Divide Journal:
"The Amos and Andy skit. present.
ed by two young men from Plenty
wood, Mont, was a scream and kept
the audience in an uproar from start
to finish. The name of their skit was
Safety Razors First" with Kermit
Helgeson taking the part of Amos
and Leonard Highland that of Andy.
Their efforts were greatly appreciat-
ed and it is hoped they will be able to
favor US with another appearance in
in the neal future, and the Fortnight
ly club wishes to thank them for the
part they played in making the pro-
gram a success"

rain HALTS FLIGHT
FROM CHICAGO

Percy Nelson, the aviator who
will start an aviation school in
PlentywOod in the very nea flu
ture, is having lots of trouble in
reaching here with his plane. He
purchased a fine new Curtiss-Rob-
in plane in Chicago nearly two
weeks ago.
Before obtaining his new flying IL
cense he was required to fly a num-
Der of hours there and before this
was completed it commenced raining
and it was still raining on Monday
evening when he telephoned Clarence
Kienast in Plentywood. He said the
landing field where the plane is To-
Gated is covered with water and it is
impossible to take the plane out and
leave the field until the rain ceases
and the water drained away.
Mr.. Nelson said that on Monday
night it had been five days since air
mail planes could take off or land in
Chicago, owing to the country being
so muddy.
He said he did not expect to be
able to leave the field for Plenty
wood for several days after the rain
ceases, and did not believe he could
possibly reach here until Sunday or
Monday if the rain let up at once.
W. hope that he will be able to
reach here by that time and bring us
a sample of that rain as it would be
mighty welcome here.
