folks YOU SHOULD
OAAA0 KNOW
Sheridan County

l.. E. RUE, prominent Plentywood
lumber man, came to Sheridan county
twenty-six years ago. During the en-
tire twenty-six years Plentywood ha;
been his home.
Born at Glenwood, Minnesota, he
spent his early boyhood days in Nortl
and South Dakota. He received ms
advanced educational training IN the
Minneapolis Business college.
His successful business career began
as a stenographer with Wyman, Par
fridge & Company, of Minneapolis
and a few months later he became an
employe of George r. Newell & Com
pany of that city in that capacity. He
remained a member of that firm for
eight years.
In 1910 Mr.. Rue came to Sheridan
county as a settler and at once became
identified with the lumber business III
partnership with A. Riba, who estab-
lished the Riba Lumber company,
Since that time Mr.. Rue has been ac-
lively engaged as manager OF the yard
here. The company is now known as
the Lircoln Lumber company.
The lumber company engaged in the
retail trade exclusively, has contrib
uted greatly toward the substantial
and permanent improvement OF this
locality.
Mr.. Rue established his home ad-
iacent to the townsite building one oil
the finest homes in Plentywood and
eventually plated a part of his tract
for city lots now known as the Rue
Addition. The Rue home, nestled IN
the trees along Box Elder creek is
n of the beauty spots of P~lentywood
Years of conscientious labor has re-
warded him a home and property OF
which he can be mighty proud.
Like other patriotic citizens during
the World War, MIR. Rue devoted his
energies in the support of auxiliary
work for raising funds for war pur-
poses.
When called upon to give service
for the city's betterment, Rue quickly
and generously responds. He has beer
an active member of the Plentywood
commercial club for a number OF years
and stree the organization of the Lions
club here has been a leader in pro
noting civic betterment and projects
for Plentywood-his home for more
than a quarter of a century.

Mr.. Rue was united in marriage with
Miss Edith Maxwell. Mrs. Rue was
educated in the public schools and
completed a musical training course at
jamestown, N. D. Mrs Rue is ldentl-
fled as an exceptionally fine vocal

Rain Comes
To Aid Crops
In County
Plentywood Gets .63 in. and
Westby .98 in Downpour
Sunday Night

Rain came Sunday night to aid
growing grain in Sheridan county fol-
lowing weeks of dry weather which
licked sub-moisture and threatened a
major crop catastrophe.
At Plentywood, Weather Meteorol-
ogist George Wheeler reported that go
of an inch of moisture fell here. At
Westby .9S of an inch was recorded
and other sections of the county re-
ported moisture varying from half an
inch to three-quarters of an inch.
The rain brought renewed life TO
dry young shoots. Many fields on the
virgo Of drying out have been given
new life.
A survey has revealed that scattered
fields in the Antelope, Reserve and
Medicine Lake territories have been
damaged because of drouth. Crops
along the 500 line from Outlook to
Westby are believed to have been the
least damaged through lack of rain.
Pasture and grazing lands, which in
some instances were turning brown
from drouth and heat, have improved.
Although scattered reports indicate
that some fields were damaged by the
days of rainless weather, Sheridan
county in general at present has a
good stand of wheat and other grains.
Some fields which were disced-in
are being choked by weeds, although
but few such instances have been re-
ported.
Cool weather for ten days has made
growing conditions ideal. Farmers
coming to Plentywood the first of the
week wore broad smiles, happy over
Sunday nights rain which carne in
time to stave off another catastrophe
IN Sheridan county.

Parts of western North Dakota have
suffered az estimated 40 percent dam
age from drouth even with favorable
conditions from now until harvest.
That section received nfariv an inch
Of moisture in a downpour 9hici. hn
there Saturday night and Sunday. The
Saturday night shower brought 81 of
an inch at Williston according to the
m~eteorologist there. Throughout North
Dakota, however, the rain was some
what scattered.
Crops as a whole in the county pre-
sent a healthy stand. Sundays moist
ure penetrated dry soil to depths very
ing from three to six inches. Farmers
coming to Plentywood Wednesday
stated they believed that with cool
weather, growing grain would not suf-
fer for several weeks 1t is generally
agreed that considerably more moist
use is needed to insure a crop for
Sheridan county.

atoms have been reported here. Far
mers have been getting grasshopper
poison at Plentywood Some damage
by cut worms and other worm species
has occurred in sections of the county.

printed in Germany, is struggled
into Poland and the Jew-baiting

are frequently beaten. In the Pol

Legislator Outlines
Program For Race

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 26, (C) In
a special statement to Calvin's
Newspaper Service, Hon. Charles
W. Anderson, Jr., newly elected
representative in the Kentucky
Legislature from the 18Th Dis
trict, jefferson County, (Louis-
ville), has outlined his program
for the race in his state. He says
in part:
my first bill introduced in the
Kentucky Legislature was House
Bill LAB, which provides that the
state pay the tnition of students
compelled to pursue professional
and graduate education at insti-
buttons outside the state.
my second bill was to create
the office of a Third Assistant
Commonwealth Attorney for the
City of Louisville. My purpose for
drafting this kind of bill was to
open the avenue for the future
possible appointment of a Negro.
my third bill relates to both
races. 1t provides that any teach
er having taught school for five
years within the state may marry
and retain her job.
"a fourth bill provides for the
state to pay the expenses neces-
sary in the defense Of persons
charged with felonies, who r I'M
able to employ counsel. A Pau
per's bill, and especially helpful
to our ace.
"My whole program concerns
legislation where necessary to Gre
ate or open avenues of employ
ment for our race; to give us bet
ter opportunities and abolish dis
elimination in the employment Of
our race on state projects. Like
wise, | am interested in progress
sive legislation irrespective OF race
those matters which will aid
the progress of Kentucky"

HE WHIPPED TWO MEN
IN SAME NIGHT

In these days Of boxers who fight
only when the century plant is in
bloom, this yarn about Oscar RAN
kin, the red-headed sepia middle
weight title contender seems like a
fairy tale to be classed with gaso-
line at 10 cents a gallon and eggs
at q nickel a dozen. l merely quote
Larry Morrison, Rankin's manager
who swears his boy fought two
men in two feature bouts in the
same ring on the same night.
AS the story goes, a few months
ago in Detroit, Rankin was to show
his stuff on a card featuring four
10 FOUNDERS. The Californian stop
ped his white opponent, Manuel
Vittorio, in the initial frame and
was in his dressing room taking a
shower when the promoter came
and asked him to go on in the fl
nal bout. He was to substitute for
Tom Patrick, who had been booked
but who failed to arrive.
Rankin's opponent was Leo Kel-
ley. ITO pound deacon of a cullud
church in Detroit, who was found
attending services and hustled to
the arena where he agreed to meet
his lighter foe. Rankin gave away
ten pounds and won what Morris
son swears was a sizzling decis-
ion.

has merely started going around
