FARMERS MEET
WITH CONTRACTOR
ABOUT NEW ROAD

At the farmers meeting in the
Farmer-Labor Temple Saturday,
it was decided that delegations of
farmers wanting road work should
meet with the highway contractor
on the highway south of Antelope
Tuesday afternoon. 1t was sug-
gested by some of the people des-
perately in need of work, that the
work should be stopped and the
contractor compelled to use horses
and men in place of machinery.
This idea was soon given up as
impracticable the stopping of the
work could be done, but that would
only throw the few men who are
working out of a job, and that
was not what the farmers were
after.
In the meantime the widest Oh
rumors were circulated, and wher
the delegation of 5000 men APP.
peared on the job Tuesday, the
young contractor showed signs Of
nervousness. The assistant statt
engineer was not going to TAX
any chances on his life SO he dis
appeared and could not be found
1t was explained to the contrac
tor how Governor Erickson ha,
pictured this work a relief jol
and had figured accordingly, an,
that only a very few of our PEG
pie had been put to work so far.
The result of this meeting wa
that the contractor promised to
put as many men and horses {
work along the project as woul
be practical and as soon as pos
sible.
That this road work could hav
} been some real relief work if tn
contract had been given to Sheri
, dan county is something we hav
advocated right along. The blam
for this not being done can be lai
at Governor Erickson's door. Tn

HARRY POLK SPREADS SCHOOL
DISTRICT REPORT OVER TWO
full PAGES, HOLDS UP CLAIM
Pentywood Herald Used Four Times as Much Space as
Dawson County Review; Somebody Warns
Harry and Claim Is Not Presented

ing Carl Hansen was waiting for
Harry Polk to present his claim
and prove to him that his claims
did need more looking over, but
the claim never showed up. The
reason for this was, that some
body had spilled the beans to him,
he was not going to have his claim
turned down just before the cleo
ton, so he got cold feet and will
probably present the claim in some
moderated form after the election
is over.
Then as Harry Polk goes along
ne takes a swipe at Magnus Dan
ielsen and refers to him as "man
who would overthrow the Chris
tian religion and substitute in its
stead the practice of "free love"
and "paganism." It's the same
old gag, we heard it twenty and
thirty years ago. At that time it
was the Socialist, then it was the
Nonpartisan, now it is the Com
munists, the hollering of free love
and church has always been the
! last resort when there was no
sound argument against a political
party.
And isn't it comical that a man
like Harry Polk comes out in hor-
ror and warns people against
'free love" when he himself has
had one heck of a time keeping
himself out of the penitentiary
just on that account, and not long

CONFECTIONERY Is
RUINED BY FIRE

Fire of unknown origin early
Tuesday morning in the rear end
of the Nose Mariconi confection-
cry on Main street caused a loss
of several hundred dollars to the
building and totally r,lined the
contents. Mr.. Mariconi reports
that the loss will be around $4,000
which is only partially covered by
insurance.
The fire was discovered at five
O'Clock and flames were leaping
skyward fast consuming the lean

ing. After the fire was exiting
uished it was found the flames had
burned thru the wall into the
main part of the structure and the
smoke and water had ruined every
thing inside. The j. c. johnson

slightly damaged. A high rear
window was broken by the heat,

(BY HANS RASMUSSEN

In the last Plentywood Herald
Harry Polk again wastes a lot of
printers ink on Commissioner Carl
Hansen and the answer Carl had
sent him for publication, which
Mr.. Polk saw fit to hide in some
out of the way place in his paper,
Tor fear that people should find
it and read it.
In order to make Carl Hansen's
articles sound untrue and in order
to defend his friend Grant Bake
well, Harry Polk makes the state
ment that Chas. E. Taylor was not
the only one that Blackwell had
dragged into court on a bum check
charge, there were "many Others"
he says. Now, Mr.. Polk, if there
are so many others wouldn't you
please mention one out of the
many. q
When Carl Hansen said in his
article: every likely if your claims
are looked over it would be found
that you are charging more than
the traffic can bear" To this Harry
Polk has this to say: "Here again
Mr.. Hansen openly admits his owl
failure to perform the duties Of
his office" If the county commits
sioners had to closely investigate
every claim coming into the coun
ty they would have to be in SEES
sion all the time. They take i
for granted that most people art
honest, but thru experience they
also find that some people need II
be looked after more closely. Tha
Harry Polk is one of these mel
is what Carl Hansen meant, anC
that Carl is not mistaken in hi
judgment of Harry Polk, can b
seen by the following.
A few weeks back the Plenty

report of all school districts i

spread over two full pages of tn
paper, amounting to 1913 folior
and of course intended to colleC
for that much space.
At the same time the officia

Dawson county paper the spac
taken up by this report measure

folios in the Herald. In Dawso
county there are 66 school dii
