LOCAL NIMRODS DECLARE -
WAR ON MAGPIES AND CROWS

The officers of the Big Horn
County Rod & Gun club have
held a council of war and decided
to rid this section of the country
from the maybe and crow pest.
Not only will the Nimrods kill
with rifle and shot gun, but they
will hang poison bait in trees SO
that the magpies and crows, the
only birds prevalent here in the
winter time, may feed on it and
thus commit suicide. Care will
be taken, in placing the poisoned
bait, to e that none of it falls
to the ground where other birds
or animals might get it.
AS soon as details are worked
out, further information will be
published.

THE TERRIBLE SWEDES
COMING NEXT FRIDAY
This Fast Basketball Quint To
Play Hardin Lions at Hi
School Gym.

Next Friday night, Feb. %, the
basketball fans of Hardin and
vicinity are to be given a treat
when Olson's Terrible Swedes will
clash with the Hardin Lions.
Those who witnessed the game
between these teams last year
will remember the fine exhibition
of basketball displayed BY the
Swedes and it is indeed fortunate
that Hardin can again see this
great team of national reputation
in action.
The Hardin Lions had to put up
a stiff guarantee to get this team
to play here and everyone should
buy a ticket at fifty cents and
help the boys meet the guarantee.
They will get more than their
moneys worth, as the Terrible
Swedes will exhibit shots that
are seldom seen in a town the
size Of Hardin, looping baskets
from all angles.

his driller, Pierce Mickelsen,
from drilling a gas well on the
back of the Sibly drug store lot

injunction. Yesterday the drill
was started down towards the

The Methodist People Report
Progress in the Remodeling
Church Program.

Last Monday evening the Of
ficial members of the local Meth
odist church convened for the
purpose of formulating plans and
the transaction of such business
as p%ertained to their new building
project.
Those in charge of the work
reported that the partitions had
been removed, the studding in
place forming the rooms for the
new apartment where the pastor
and wife will be domiciled, a large
amount of the plumbing work
done and much valuable material
salvaged for the new work.
The new auditorium will be
fifty feet by about thirty-two
feet, giving a seating capacity
of approximately two hundred
persons. The church as well as
the pastor appreciates the kind
ness of all who have given vol
unteer labor, and desire to an
nounce that by next Monday
they will be in a position to use
a number of men-skilled and I'M
skilled-who may be willing to
donate their services.
The board was unanimous in
it's approval of the work done
thus far, and authorized the pas
tor to prepare a subscription list
and approach the members and
friends for funds with which to
carry on the work to a successful
completion.
A church is a public institution,
and any improvement or extern
sion is a matter Of public inter-

reason the church board will in
form the public and it's many

FISH IN NEW DEAL
TILT WITH YOUNG
New York and Ohio Repre-
Sentatives Grow Bitter
in Debate.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
JOLIET, ILL.,, October 14.-New Deal
policies were attacked and defended
here last night in debate between
Representative Hamilton Fish, jr, Re-
publican, of New York, and Repre-
sentative at Large Stephen M. Young
Democrat, Of Ohio.
President Roosevelt and the Demo-
Gratis have exhausted the resources OF
the Nation, blocked recovery, prolonged
the depression and destroyed every
iota of confidence" Fish declared In
an indictment Of the present admin
istration.
Hoover Blamed.
To which Young replied that the
do nothing policy" of Herbert Hoover
was responsible fer the depression,
and that immediate enactment of a
recovery program by the Democratic
Congress restored economic order.
The debaters exchanged a pair of
compliments. Young referred to Fish
as the probable Republican candidate
for the presidency in 1885," and Fish,
in turn, spoke of Young as the prob
able Democratic choice for Governor
in Ohio"
About TOO members of the Joliet
Sunday Evening Club attended the
debate. There was no decision.
In denying Fish's charge that the
Democrats brought bureaucracy, COL
lectivism and socialism, Young said
'if feeding people and clothing their
nakedness is socialism, then I admit
the charge and accept the challenge" p"
&c. O. p" Not Relief Sign.
Fish asserted all the alphabetical
forms of Government were phases of
relief. Young replied there was one
set of letters that did not stand for
relief. Those letters" he said, ARE
G. o. p"
In the course OF the debate, Young
remarked that the balancing of the
budget "can certainly await the return
of better times" The important step
now, he said, is to overcome involun-
tary unemployment, which he de-
scribed as a great moral wrong"
