PLANNING
WANTS ROADS

The Sheridan county planning
board of which Fred Morck is chair
man, at a recent meeting held in
Plentywood took steps to present to
the State highway commission the
need of road construction for Sheri-
dan county.
In a resolution to the commission
the planning board pointed out that
all of the Z percent system of
highway mileage that remains un-
constructed in this road district is
now in Sheridan county with the e.
ception of approximately n mile.
The completion of the mileage In
der the seven percent system is
needed for the proper function Of the
business Of the county, the board
contends, and immediate cOnstruc-
ton would relieve the relief situation
and thereby operate directly to the
advantage of the county, state and
federal government.
1t was recommended that immed-
| late steps be taken to procure a
right-of-way for some of the mileage
under the 7 percent system, so that
bids may be Immediately received as
soon as money was available for con.
~struction in this district.

FARMERS urged TO
|GROW GOOD SEED

In an effort to build up the regis
tered seed supply in Montana, Sam
L.. Sloan, extension agronOmist, is
urging growers to make full use of
available supplies this year, and is
asking the cooperation of county ex-
tension agents In interesting farmers
in seeding plots for registration.
The 1884 acreage Of registered seed
amounted to 31,305 as compared with
4 1850 in 1888. This decrease, Sloan
explained, was, in a large measure,
due to the poor prospects early in
the season, resulting in fewer appli'
cations for cer~tification. The 31,305
acres represents the amount on
which certification was sought
Poor yields In many areas also re-
duced supplies OF seed.
The agronomist said the state seed
list is now being mailed out in Mon
tana and adjoining states. At the
top of the list are the available sup.
plies OF registered seed. The con
solidated county lists of available
seed and supplies in surplus areas al
so are shown.

MUST HAVE PERMIT
TO BUY LIQUORS

The state liquor permit system,
which has been the center OF much
controversy since it's adoption when
the liquor stores system was set UP
in Montana and which the senate in
the last session failed to modify, will
be strictly enforced, VIM. MulhOlland
inspector for the state system said
Tuesday.
Mr.. Mulholland was in PlentywoOd
Tuesday ON an inspection trip OF the
local store and visited other liquor
vending establishments In the coun-
ty.
"a general condition exists
throughout the state" Mr.. Mulhol.
land said, whereby much swapping
of permits has been going on. In
stances have been brought to the at
tention of the state liquor board
where one permit has been used by
many purchasers. However, it is be
lieved that many failed to purchase
permits believing that the state leg
islature would abolish the system.
Now that that belief Is a dead issue,
the permit set-up will be strictly en-
forced"
Blaine Dean, manager OF the Plen'
tywood store stated to the Herald
that the permit system would be ad'
hered to here strictly to the letter.

Tricks To School 3 Miles For
Perfect Record, Only to Fail

A grim determination to make a
perfect attendance record at school
in spite Of a daily walk of almost 3
miles to the school house failed this
week for Ellie Jensen, plucky 13-year-
old girl living In the Lake View COM
munity in southeast Sheridan county.
She is absent from school this
week, but far from her own choos-
ing. She has the measles.
Binding snowstorms and sub-zero
weather held no terror for her in an
effort to make that perfect attend
ance. She had, up to this week,
made the daily trek to school and
back without a miss. Not even a
tardy mark was recorded against
her.
Sickness spoiled the little girls
highest desire. May Dame Fortune
grant Ella the fulfillment of that de
termination when she enters school
again next fall.
