has increased to a staggering proper
ton.

ed warning dog owners to secure Ii
censes for pets II they were to re-
main healthy and sound within the
city limits. AS a result 80 dogs have
been licensed in the city the past
two weeks.
A dag-catcher was employed by the
city council and did a good job of
bringing N the license money. Dogs
running at large and not claimed by
residents of the city were given a
free ticket to dog-land, while many
were ensnared In the catchers net
and held for ransom.
License fees are 81 for female dogs
and 81 for male. Officials In charge
of the roundup state that a big per-
centage Of the dogs had now been
licensed in the city and most Of the
| owners responded readily in secur-
ing licenses. However, some have
failed to purchase the tags and I'M
less they do so by the end OF this
week the violators will be hailed into
court.

PROMPT ACTION ON
SEED LOAN GRANTS
TO farmers IS SURE
Senator James E. Murray
Wires That Bill For Seed
Loans Passed Senate

The signature of President RoOse-
welt on the seed loan appropriation
bill which will enable drOuth-strick
en- farmers to get funds to plant
crops this spring is expected this
week.
The bill for the ALLEGATION of funds
was passed by the senate Tuesday
afternoon Senator James K. Murray
has advised the Plentywood CONNER
cial club. Mr.. Murray expressed faith
that immediate action would be ia
ken by the president In signing the
bill thus insuring ample time for far
mers to get loans for spring work.
T~elegraphic messages were direct
ed to Montana's Washington delega-
ton last week by various civic organ
izations in the county urging that
immediate steps be taken to allocate
money to aid farmers in spring plant
ing. Replies from Senator Wheeler
and Senator Murray to the local com
mercial club carried the information
that action would be taken immedia
tely.
1t was pointed out by the local
club that If a delay occurred In get
ting grants Sheridan county farmers
would suffer materially as it is esti
mated that approximately 70 percent
Of the farmers here will he depend
ent on funds from such loans. In the
event that the loans arrive too late II
would possibly meal thousands O
dollars loss to farmers here.
The exact status OF the ALLEGATION
from Washington has not beer
learned.

Auxiliary Hangs Up Win
Over Legion At Cards

Monday night at the Legion hall
the American Legion Auxiliary reg
istered a win at bridge over mem
bers of the Legion post in a Cruel
ling contest for supremacy.
The contest was the aftermath
of a challenge issued in the Herald
last week by the Auxiliary "invit-
ing" the men to a contest. The
boys Of the Legion post accepted
the challenge and went down to
defeat in a gallant battle.
The Auxiliary players got off to
a good start and piled up a big
score before the "buddies" knew
what 1t was all about. From re-
ports circulating after the set-to
the gentlemen were m%iserabIy out
cIassed by the fairer sex, in the
opening games. As the contest pro-
crossed, the men overcame the big
lead and were in striking distance
when the gun sounded ending the
playing. The Legion boys contend
that before the contest started it
was agreed to play six games,
However, a halt was called at the
end of the fifth. They believe that
had the playing gone the full route
they would have overcome the lead
piled up in the first ~stanza's be-
cause Of a brilliant comeback near
the end Of the session.
The Auxiliary members have not
given their version Of the affair.
The Legion, however, was given
the sweet before the bitter. They
were served a delicious dinner be-
fore the card playing got under
way.

ONE INJURED when
CAR TURNS over

Three people miraculously escaped
injuries Thursday afternoon at An
telope when a a driven 10y Ray
Norton, Of Medicine Lake, collided
with a new Chevrolet sedan driven
by G. E. Fulkerson, Plentywood un.
dertaker, at an intersection running
onto the highway.

Plentywood hospital Immediately af
ter the accident suffering from
shock, bruises and a six-inch cash in
her scalp. Mr. Fulkerson was sew.
erely shaken up and bruised while
MI. Norton was uninjured.
According to witnesses of the ac.
cident, the car driven by Norton
struck MI. Fulkerson's car. Mr.. Full
kerson was driving south and was
travelling at a good rate Of speed
while Mr. Norton came onto the
highway from the west from the An.
telOpe mill, and was also driving
fast.
Norton's car struck the right real
wheel of the Chevrolet, swung ii
sideways across the highway. II
rolled completely over and landed on
it's wheels.
Mr.. Fulkerson was thrown from
the car through the left front door
when the al rolled over. Had ii
turned over ono more he would
have been directly in its path.
Mrs. Fulkerson was found behind
the steering wheel unconscious, pre-
sumably fom the blow on the head
she received when being pummeled
around in the o~verturning auto.
The car driven by Norton was not
damaged to any extent. Fulkerson's
car was badly damaged, the body OF
which is almost a complete wreck.
Mrs. Fulkerson remained at the
hospital until Saturday and was then
able to leave for her home near Med.
icine Lake. She was brought to
Plentywood Monday and had the
stitches removed from the scalp
wound.
In a statement to the Herald Nor
ton took the blame for the mishap.
He said he did not see the a com
ing down the highway and was at
fault by driving onto the road with
out first making u n that the way
was clear.

FARMERS PLACE
FOR SEED

approximately 600 Sheridan coun,
ty farmers have ordered 100000 bu-
shells OF seed grain from the Federal
Seed Stocks Committee. The closing
date for receiving orders will be
March 80, according to notifications
received recently.
"A recent ruling by Henry Wallace,
Secretary Of Agriculture, removes all
storage charges so that one price
will be charged regardless of what
date the order is placed.
This means a saving of over ST.
10000 to the farmers OF this county.
The Federal seed stocks are looked
upon more as a reserve supply, and
farmers r urged to buy seed from
neighbOrs when possible. The local
supply is slightly lower In price and
should be used first.

YOU ANSWER 1T

A farmer dropped into the Daniels
County Leader office In Scobey last
week with a puzzle. The Leader
doesn't know the answer and is look
ing for someone to solve 1t.
The farmer bought a pair OF 20
foot, 1-inch leather lines, paying
$6.25 for them.
Then he shipped % good, dry COW
hides to a hide and fur dealer. For
the 90 hides he received a total Of
S7.55, or about "a cents each.
About IS COW hides for a set Of
lines seemed just a little out OF line
to the farmer. Perhaps for the rest
of the cows he might have gotten q
hame strap.
