COP. NOMINEE
 ENDS HIS BID FOR PA. VOTES
Completes Campaign in State Just One Week
 Before Election

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct. 28. = Gov. Alfred M Landon last night pledged that if elected there would be house cleaning of the politi- cal debauch through which the New Deal has created vast army of mercenaries to entrench Roosevelt in power"
 Coupling promises to expand the Civil Service and consolidate Gov ernment agencies, the Republican nominee for President closed his campaign for Pennsylvania 36 electoral votes just one week before election.
 Gov. Landon said further: Pat ronage has tripled under the Presi- dent and his Postmaster General. This is in direct violation of Presi- dent Roosevelts promises. This is not a good government. The army available for Roosevelt's political machine is twice as big as the regu- lar United States Army There is an increase in the Federal payroll, as the result. of more than five hundred million dollars annually. The Administration has gone hog wild, adding new agencies, accumu- lating new powers. The time has come to end this political debauch. The merit system must be restored, expanded and improved"

CITY WELL IS
SPUDDED IN

A flowing well which gushes NOR
than four gallons of water per minute
was spudded in Monday at the new
city well in west Plentywood.
The flow was struck at the 410-loot
level and is soft water.
Samples of the water have been sent
10 the state board Of health for anal
ysis purpose. In the event the water
meets specifications, the hole, which
is now A inches wide will be increased
TO 10 inches.
Casing in the shaft has been It
moved from the low level and the wa
ter instead Of flowing to the surface IS
entering another vein. The well was
previously dug 232 feet. Water at the
level was not Of good quality.
A piece OF broken pipe which was
expected to cause considerable delay
before drilling could again be contIn-
ued was removed from the bottom Of
the shaft without much difficulty by
Geo. Askins, contracting driller.
A small gas assure was struck at the
400-foot level. A lighted match to the
water which artesianed from the hole
would ignite the gas with a slight ex-
plosion and would burn on the water
surface readily.
Two coal veins were penetrated by
the driller, the log of the well shows.

Harry Sparkling Is Guest
Speaker at Lions Dinner

The Plentywood Lions club had as
its guest speaker Wednesday Harry
Sparkling of Medicine Lake, who gave
a talk on The early history of the state
of Montana. 1t was easily one of the
outstanding talks given before the
Lions in several months, and was
thoroughly enjoyed by all present.
MIR. Sparkling traced the early his
tory of the state from the time of its
purchase by the federal government
as a portion of the Louisiana Pur-
chase under President Jefferson,
through territorial and mining ex-
ploration days, down to the time of
the transcontinental railroads to the
Pacific coast and the forming of the
state government. A special tribute
was paid to the early pioneers and es-
p~ecially the small body of men who
were responsible for the formation of
the territorial government.
DR.. J. c. Storkan, as chairman Of the
civic improvement committee, called
attention to a news story in the Her.

county ranked among the 10 leading
counties in Montana in milk produc-
ton, and urged the immediate con-
sideration of the establishment for
Plentywood of a cooperative cream

Will Be RIGID

Traffic violators are not to be let
off with warnings" is the statement of
Chief of the State Highway Patrol, ac-
cording to N. j. Cummings, patrolman
who was here on a regular visit on
Thursday. Patrolman Cummings said
such orders were positive and the pa
troll will enforce them to the lette-.
Increase in accidents and deaths on
the highways has resulted that stern
measures must be employed.
'One violation that can and must be
stopped" Cummings said, is driving
saddle of the white center line on
highways. 1t is a needless and danger
Gus practice, and must be stopped
The patrolman warned that persons
VINO drive a motor car at all must have
a license and must keep it with him OF

that some people who readily and
willingly obey other laws are care
less, or balk and crab at obeying
those most essential to the safety OF
themselves, their children and theii
ne ehbcrs-the traffic laws
Traffic laws are state laws made
for the safety of all, and will be en-
forced he pointedly stated.

folks YOU SHOULD
AOAAA0 KNOW
Sheridan County

JAMES E. O'TOOLE, respected
longtime resident of Sheridan county,
is of the hardy group of early settlers
who came to this section in the pio-
neering days TO cast their lot.
Twenty-nine years ago James
OToole came to Sheridan county and
settled south of Plentywood. Since
hat time he has resided here. The pio-
neer settler is now rs years old. Fifty
five Of those years has been spent in
farming. Like olher truly pioneers of
this section he has faith in northeast
ern Montana.
Mr.. O'Tpole was born in Alamakee
county, Iowa, in 1868. AT the age OF
five he went to Birch Coulee, settllro
near the Indian battle-ground thave. Il.
1888 he was married to Mary OShea,
at Franklin, MINI. Until 1906 the o.
Tooles lived at Birch Coulee. They
her moved to North Dakota, settling
at Garrison. The push westward was
on and MIR. O'Toole one year later
joined the westward march.
Opportunities of the then unsettled
country which is now Sheridan
county was on the lips Of hardy plains
men. The Sheridan county man and
two sons, Joe and Frank, came to the
present site CT Plentywood and estab-
lished the claim a few miles south and
built a shack. Mr.. O'Toole's family
first came to Culbertson. On January
IS, in midwinter, the family came from
Culbertson by sled to their new home.
Mr.. and Mrs. O'Toole by conscIen-
tious and hard labor have accumulated
a fine farm. The present home was
built in 1913.
Mr.. O'Toole has one distinct hobby,
that of harvesting grain. He has owned
harvesting machines since he was 80
years old. In politics he's a Democrat
and a good one.
Mr.. O'Toole is one Of the first sub
scribers to the Plentywood Herald. In
fact he paid his first subscription to
this publication before the first issue
rolled from the old Franklin press. He
has beer a continuous subscriber and
reader since that time-29 years.
Although maybe not young in years
the veteran Sheridan county citizen Is
hale and hearty and continues to ac-
lively operate his farm.
He is held in highest esteem in his
community and since the forming o.
school district 36 has been a member
Of the board of trustees. He donated
the ground for the school of the dist
riot.

City Fire Department
Called to Quell Battler.

A city's fire department is good
for more than just one thing
fighting fires.
Saturday the Plentywood de-
partment in response to a hurried
call quelled a street brawl.
Donald Logan and Frank Barge,
both of the WelIiver country, paid
fines in justice court after the
scrap. They were charged with
fighting.
Logan lost part of an ear in the
scufle and was taken to a phys
ician for repair.
Neither signed a complaint
against the other.
The scene attracted more spec
tators than a three-ring circus.
After the fire department had
efficiently handled the Iituation
the fire trucks were returned to
their stalls.

GETTING DOWN TO
SSTAC
AGAINST THE STREAM"

Few people of the hundreds who
read the Herald eve heard of Otto
Berg. Neither had the writer until he
asked to hitchhike with us to Crosby
last week. We have v given a
young mar a lift who seemed more
grateful, nor one whose company we
enjoyed more. The fact that Otto held
a position in a local printing office for
six weeks is incidental, although we do
know from the kind of work he did
and the testimony to good service he
received upon leaving that he was a
capable and trustworthy employee.
Sss
The story of interest behind our
casual meeting with this young man is
one of noteworthy endeavor against
odds that to many would be insur-
mountable. He is totally deaf. For
some 16 years of his life he had lived
as any other normal child would; not
until a Sophomore in high school at
his home in Mohall, N. D., had his
nearing been at all impaired. Then, as
he relates the story, he went home
from a high school party one night,
the next morning to wake up unable
to hear. Although responding slightly
to immediate medical treatment ~
specialists, the relief was orr tenn
porary, and soon Otto had lost his
hearing entirely. But he never gave up.
=
His schooling was continued at the
school for deaf in Devils Lake, where
he was graduated as one of the three
highest ranking students in his class,
This gave him a scholarship in the
Gallaudet College for the deaf in
Washington, d. c. He was quick to
take advantage of the opportunity, as
added misfortune had come to him the
year following his own tragedy in the
loss of both his mother and father,
leaving him, as he says, VERY much on
my own" Friends were good to him.
They provided a place he could CRATE
fully refer to as "home," where he
was going now to visit for a few days
before proceeding to Washington to
re-enter college and continue his Jun
Tor year of college curricula.
So
From this college, we learned,
come professional men who attain high
standing in ranks Of accomplishment,
pitted against men who have no han
dicap. An architect who has really
gained prominence for himself; a civil
engineer sent to a foreign country by
a large industrial concern on a difficult
and responsible assignment; teachers,
bookkeepers, tradesmen; but in all
cases real accomplishment as reward
for honest endeavor. The school, one
of the very few of its kind, receives
some federal appropriation to assist
