The terms as provided at present
have been recognized by the com

the county, as being too severe and
SO exacting that Ii would be Draetic-

FOR CITY'S MAYOR
G. w. PETERSON REFUSES TO
BE CANDIDATE FOR RE-
ELECTION

Even with the selling of beer oc-
cnpying the center of the stage
people in PIentywood this week
found time to give some thought to
the approaching city. election when
a new mayor will be named. togeth-

were placed In circulation for Percy

possibility that no opposition would
be filed against him.
Mr.. Neville has been a resident a

ways been active in community life.
working untiringly and fearIessly
Tor the common good of all. The en-
thusiasm with which his petitions
were received best expresses the
confidence and esteem with which
he Is held.
Percy's friends report that ii was
only after repeated urging that lie
could be induced to become d canfi-
date, and then with two conditions.
First. he was un1ualifiediy for the
reelection OF Cal Peterson If he
could be induced to run second. he
would not enter a fractional fight in
the community, but would consent
TO become a candidate il it seemed
to be the will Of a representative
group OF all factions.
Mr.. Neville told the Herald We'd
nesday that he was much grafifiesl
to learn OF the approval with which
his petitions had been received. and
upon asking for his platform. he re-
piled. MY only platform is TO give
the best service within my power To
the people OF Plemywood il they see
at to name me their mayor"
No definite announcement Of any
candidate for alderman had been
made up the Wednesday night. The
term OF Joe Redmond in the LIST
ward and Henry Barner in the 2nd
ward expires. but neither Of them
had announced whether or not they
would seek reelection. The services
OF both men on the council have
been satisfactory and there seemed
to be little indication Of opposition
should they decide to become candi-
dates.
With local supervision over the
sale OF beer already Q as a. defin-
lite problem before the incoming city
administration. much more impart-
ance Is being attached to the election
now than was at first indicated.
Mayor Peterson told the Herald this
week that consideration Of n new
beer ordinance to supplement the
sta#e and national regulatory acts
should undoubtedly be taken m ut
the meeting of the council next

The last shipment OF clothing or
dered from the u. s.. Navy through
facilities OF the Red Cross and with
funds furnished by the r. r. G. was
received last Saturday and prompt
" distributed to needy families In
different parts OF the county.

pairs OF shoes, 500 undershirts,
1000 pair drawers. 484 pair breech-
es, 1900 flannel jumpers, and 500
denim jumpers. In a previous ship
ment had come so Navy sweaters
and 500 Navy coats which had al
ready been passed out.
The committee was disappointed
nOt to have received full shipment
Of the acquisitions they had made.
While 1000 pairs OF shoes had been
ordered, this was cut to 200 pair:
the quantity OF denim jumpers was
cut In half from 1000 to 500; the
order for 1000 pair OF denim pants
WAS Cancelled altogether, and several
other items materially reduced. The
only explanation for the reduced
supply wal larger orders than had
been anticipated from different re-
lief, there was Of course only q linn
tied supply Of the clothing and con-
seQuently 1t was necessary to APP
portion Vt az evenly as possible.
So far as the committee knows at

Passes Beer Measure;
Anticipate Senate Action Today

That beer would be sold In Plen.
tywood much sooner than anyone
had ever presumed was indicated
this week with the sudden request
by President Roosevelt that it be
given consideration by congress and
the prompt action which followed
In both houses. The House of Rep
resentatives passed the measure le-
galizing the sale of 80 percent beer
with an overwhelming vote, 316 to
81 Tuesday,
With legislation already provid-
ed by state legislature, beer may
be sold i'm Montana April i. the law
taking effect ID days after adop-
ton.
Breweries were preparing theil
plants i'm all parts of the country for
immediate operation. Some can be-
gin work on a few hours notice, al
though those in Montana would be
delayed some two or three weeks ac-
cording to reports.
Ii lis estimated the sale of beer
will produce from $3.50, 600. 900 to
5000. 600, 900 towards balancing
the budget of the national govern
ment. lit provides for q tax Of SIS a
barrel and an annual license fee of
$1,000 from brewing companies.
No Beer IN North Dakota
License seekers were all the more
Jealous In their efforts because Of
the doubt which existed as to
whether beer could be legally sold
in North Dakota. Williston lawyers
according to the .Williston Daily
Herald, were of the opinion that
since the state legislature had fall
ed to repeal the existing prohibition
laws, in spite Of the fact that peo-
pie voted repeal to that part WI the
states constitution last fall, beer
could moi be legally sold within the
borders OF the state until another
legislature had taken action. Unless
a special session were called, this
would mean a delay Of at least two
years, and consequently would make
licenses in the border towns in Mon
tana all the more valuable.
Those seeking license to sell beer
in Sheridan county were active this
week in ~ferreting out provisions of
the new state law and taking init
iat0ry steps towards having applic-
afinns approved by the state board
