Action Comes Swiftly After
Death of P~lentywood
Resident

The city council in session Mon
day night, voted unanimously to
strictly enforce temporary city or
dinance 1870 which prohibits the sale,
barter or giving away Of fireworks
within the city limits. Following
the unanimous decision to prohibit
the sale OF pyrotechnic displays 1t
was voted to carry out to the fullest
extent city ordinance No. SO which
prohibits the discharge of fireworks
within the city.
The action by the council came
swiftly following the death of one
person this week, the result of fire
works in PlentywOod, and injury to
several persons during the week OF
July 4. Public sentiment is be-
lieved to favor the councils action.
Ordinance 100 was passed in June.
1884, as a temporary injunction to
prohibit early selling Of fireworks
In the city. Fireworks at that time
were being sold here several weeks
before the July celebration. Dealers
in ~pyrotechnic displays were grant
ed special permission to sell their
wares two days proceeding the
Fourth and on the Fourth this year.
In spite of the special grant, protest
was launched, believed because OF
interference with private business. !.
Fireworks for Plentywood is a
thing OF the past, with the possible
exception OF public displays in hands
Of qualified individuals with special
permission Of the city council and
fire chief.
Amy person, firm OIL corporation
violating any Of the provisions OF
the ordinances shall be deemed gull
ty OF a misdemeanor and be fined
not less than SIS nor more than $25
for each days offense, is the string
ent ruling to DE enforced by Plenty
woods ordinance makers.

Want to Get Married?
Declare Yourself

don't have to pay the 81 for a H.
ems You don't have to pay the
preacher nor lay out possibly $50
for a medical examination as
pointed out In the "gin marriage
act. The only cost attached Is a
tip to tho notary who may be kind
enough to acknowledge the docu'
ment. Two-bits usually turns the
trick. Simple, isn't It?
Because people who desire to
obtain a marriage license must
first secure a health statement
from physician, which states
without reservation that the ap-
pIicants are entirely without dis
ease, and which doctors are In
many cases unwilling to issue,
parties m Joined by contract and
within the contract II Is stipulated
that the parties do not contem-
plate the solemnixatlon of the
marriage and that the marriage
has not been solemnIzed. A min
Ister's blessing, can however, be
bestowed.
Where will II all end?

Let Mailing Barley Mature
Well, Is Sloan Statement

Necessity of allowing mailing bar
ley to mature well before harvest is
stressed by Sam l.. Sloan, extension
agronomist at Montana State col
lege. Immature barley or that cut
ION the green side" will not be in a
position to command the premium
on mailing barley market which
mailing barley deserves, he says.
Well ripened barley is required be-
cause the process OF mailing is M
OF termination and a mixture Of ma
ture and immature grain will not
sprout uniformly in the malt house.
Some mailing barley is being
grown in Sheridan county this year.
About 100 bushels OF mailing barley
was shipped into the county for seed
purposes this spring by the govern
ment.
