LII Tie past practlcally all DullQlngs
erected in the District for municipa
purposes have been designed in the
office Of the municipal architect. The
attitude Of the architects to this pro-
cedure Is that it places the government
In a position Of competing with pri-
vate business.
Scope Believed Too Wide.
"The architects believe" said an an
nouncement made by the president OF
the chapter, Francis P. Sullivan, that
there IS no more reason for the mu-
nicipal government operating an archi-
tect's office than there is for it going
into any other business or practicing
any other profession"
The architects body believes, &C.
cording to Mr.. Sullivan. that If the
municipal architects Office were con-
Quoted in accordance with their rec
ommendation, a greater variety and
interest would be introduced into the
municipal buildings of the city, while
at the same time the coordination ex-
ercised by the municipal architects Of
flee would provide for a general har-
mony in design, materials and con-
struction.
The recent report Of the Shannon
committee Of the House shows that the
Government has gradually become in
volved in all sorts Of business enter
pr1ses foreign to its proper functions, ,
the chapter asserts. 1T Is apparent
that the present tendency is to take
the Government out of competition
with taxpayers who are prepared to
furnish services to the Government
along these lines as satisfactorily and
as economically as they can be car
ried out by any Government activity
Suggested as Economy.

Jim Londos, the Greek claimant

supreme after a hard-fought en-
counter with Ray Steele before
5000 rabid local fans at the
Clark Griffith Stadium last night.
Londos pinned his rugged rival IN

thrills.
The Greek, unable to pinion
Steele's shoulders to the canvas
by straight methods, leaned TO-
rough tactics to bring Steele into
submission, He picked up Steele.
carried him to the ropes and
dropped him onto the cold turf.
Stunned and considerably
shaken up by his fall from the
ring, Steele groped his way back
into the ring where the crafty
Londos was waiting for the final
kill, the Greek ending the match
with a body slam.
Londos was given quite a tusSle
by Steele who often forced the
champion to the ropes and also
belabored the Greek Adonis with
an attack that would have crushed
a lighter-hearted opponent.

Finest Ladies in World

Also, PlentywOod's people are COM
posed mostly of men and women.
These are subdivided again into the
elderly, the middle aged, the young
and just children. The men folks
are largely just common everyday
men possessed with high degree Of
ordinary common sense intelligence.
OF course, there are always few
soapboiler heads. The ladies of the
town are the finest in the world, ex-
cept our mothers and sisters. This
is especially true of the married la
dies. They are as a rule good house
keepers with a healthy social dispo-
sition. Some are even wonderful
helpmates in assisting their hus-
bands in driving the wolf away from
the door. The single ladies some
times get to be quite elderly but
never old maids. AS a rule they are
in great demand for future house
keepers. If perchance one is over
looked in the great universal strug-
gle of choice and selection she hegiras
to the open country in search of a
lonely homesteader who is willing to
share the blessings of doubleness
with her. The so-called stranded
aunt variety is not known in Plen-
tywood. The children of Plentywood
are of the healthy and robust kind.
Some of them are quite successful in
peddling handbills and copies of the
Producers News. Some have a very
unique way of distributing handbills
by depositing an armful or two in an
old rubbish can or back alley and
thus securing the assistance of the
wind in their further distribution.
This remarkable aptitude of doing
things quickly, presages genius. No
one objects to the method, except the
owner of the handbills and he is usu-
ally an old something who insists on
old methods of doing things.

The PlentywOOd Bells

There are four kinds of bells
known to the people of Plentywood-
school bells, church bells, fire alarm
bell and wedding bells. Of these
four the school bell and the church
bell have become commonplace, be-
cause every one usually knows when
they will ring and what they are
ringing for. The fire bell is the
most dreaded, while the wedding
bells are the most excitable. The
wedding bells are usually followed by
an old fashioned tin can decorated
automobile ride through the main
streets of the town accompanied with
a shower of rice and old shoes. This
public exhibition Of the new bride
and groom is sometimes designated
by the euphonious name of charava-
ri. Following the charavari some
kind of a honeymoon trip is indulged
in. After that the actual business of
living until death do them part is
assumed in most cases. Of course
there are always a few who insist
that everyday should be one cOntin-
uous moment of joy and bliss and
that married life is like sitting in a
glass of honey and forever meditat-
ing on the kindness of fate. But the
most of the newlyweds of Plenty
wood realize at once that life is a
mixture of joy and gloom with the
joy predOminating only if one makes
it so.

Policies Republican

Politically speaking the people Of
Plentywood seem to incline to the
Republican party. Especially is this
so in national and state affairs. This
is probably due to the influence of F.
C. Fishbeck and George M. Pierce.
In town affairs there is not much
choice. Usually branch is chopped
from one of the two old parties and
the candidates are obliged to run on
a so-called Good Government League
or Law Enforcement League, OF
some other party designation of sim
liar import. In 1917 the Good Gov
ernment League was successful. This
was branch of the Democratic par
ty. The PlentyWood Herald became
the official town printing paper and
has been holding onto the job like
clinging ivy ever since. The Pro
ducers News does not make any bid
for it realizing that &C. S." is too
much for Mr. Taylor
The producers news., 1933-02-01

munities, the people of Plentywood
are composed of both the good and
the bad. AS to what is to be consider
ed good person and who bad, de-
pends largely upon individual taste
and training. And, as usual, the good
ness Of the good is better appreciat-
ed by contrast with the badness of
the bad and visa versa. Between the
two extremes, however, is the vast
majority of just common everyday
folks. These are, as a rule, kindly
disposed and generous. No matter
how prosperous they may be, they al
ways have kindly feeling for the
less fortunate poor, and no matter
hom poor one may be he need not
worry about the next meal if he is
willing to be only half rightly dispos-
ed.

WOmen's Clubs

In women's organizations, the YES

Tuesday Reading Club was organic
ed and still exists. The Degree of
Honor has a large enrolment as well
as the Eastern Star. These four or
CARNATIONS bear to each other about
the same relationship as did the indi-
vidual members of the old time Mu-
tual Admiration Society.

permanently established with comod-

high class servants of God, and Plen-
