scrap book of Capt T. Albert Burton,
father Of Mrs. r. Davidson, who has
transcribed 1t here for our readers:

two or three houses in the place,
and an old log school house. which
was about opposite where Mrs.

years one was built on the spot

started and dedicated in 1853. In
those days the circuit was so large
that two ministers were on one

was Clement Tingle Dingle luis-

Alberta Prosperity Note
Held by Plentywood Man

One CT the Province Of Albertas
famous prosperity certificates has come
to P~lentywood.
The handsomely engraved note
good for one dollars purchasing in the
PROVINCES in possession Of Mayor T.
G. Neville, who last week was a Can
ada visitor. Mr.. Neville said he paid a
dollar for the certificate-its full value
in Alberta.
The provincial government is ex-
perimenting to stimulate business and
give employment.
The government issued S350,0O0 in
prosperity notes which will be paid to
iaborers on road building projects.
Holder of the certificate at the end OF
each week must attach a one cent
stamp before the note will become le-
gal tender. Squares are marked on the
back of the note for 14 stamps. The
stamps are purchased from the gov
eminent. When the certificate is filled
with the stamps at the end Of 10i
weeks it is redeemed.
Business and employment in the
Province has been stimulated. Each
week there is a scramble to pass the
certificates on to someone else in an
effort to avoid paying the tax on each
certificate.
The experiment will be interesting
to watch.

Road South of
City Improved

The board of county commissioner
in session this week authorized . IL
improvement of a two-mile stretch u
road south of Plentywood. Work was
started Wednesday morning.
The road, past the airport and ex-
tending to the "Munson hilI' south of
the county poor farm, is the stretch
to be improved.
1sne grade will be elevated and the
hill two miles south will be cut. The
improved road will make it possible
to have an all-weather highway with
in a mile Of two coal mines which
serve Plentywood.
Severe winters usually block the
road, which is used daily by coal haul
ers. Last winter a coal shortage threat
ened Plentywood when roads to mines
were blocked by heavy SHOWS
The elevating and improvement of
the two-mile stretch will alleviate the
situation and will make possible easier
winter travel to the city for farmers
living in the south country.

State Commander Assails
Politicians for Horseplay
with Bonus

mot pensions, but unemployment,
for World war veterans will be
the goal of the American Legion
Clarence Olson, department COM
mander of Montana, said before the
Plentywood Lions club Wednesday.
Commander Olson, a charter mem
Der Of the Sweet Grass Lions club, was
a guest Of the local club Wednesday at
the regular MONDAY luncheon.
Mr.. Olson said that the program
outlined by the American Legion will
also include a nationwide highway
safety program. A concerted effort will
be made by the organization to cut
down the ever-increasing death and
injury toll on the nations highways.
Olson assailed politicians who since
the World war have made the bonus
issue a political football for personal
gain. THE American Legion endorsed
payment OF the bonus one hundred per
cent" he said, but not to the point to
be called treasury-robbers. Politicians
using the bonus for prestige purposes
IN view Of the tremendous voting pow
er of the organization are subject to
criticism" he said.
"Rumors that the American Legion
will now strive for pensions are I'M
founded" the state commander said.
Able bodied veterans want honest
iobs-not pensions. They would be
more content to be able to earn their
own living. and to that end the Amer
lean Legion will strive"
Corporation of civic clubs, busin-
essmen and other organizations was
asked by Mr.. Olson.

Last Friday evening during an

fam of G.. +. Robertson of the

queer.
During the electrical display,
MIR. Robertson went to the pump

a peculiar buzzing from the depth
Of the well. Not only that, but
sparks, or flashes of fire flew from
the cast ircn pump. 1t was not
Instantaneous; it continued for

Mr.. Robertson, to be sure that

0i|ing OF New
Road Will Get
Under " ay
Subj Gravel Base on; Halt of
Stretch Has Crushed
Gravel

Oiling of the eleven-mile stretch OF
highway from the Daniels county line
to nea Archer will get under way
within a few days, it was announced
by Lobnitz Bros, contractors in
charge OF the construction program.
Two carloads of oil are enroute and
will be side-tracked at Redstone. Eight
additional cars of oil will soon be in
transit.
Crews have completed the ub-base
of gravel on the highway and crushed
gravel has been applied on approxim-
ately half of the distance. The crusher
is located near the Hans Madsen farm
in the Archer vicinity.
The Lobnitz Bros payroll last week
included 167 men and ONE and this
week approximately $50 men are en-
ployed. This includes skilled and un-
skilled laborers, truck drivers and
members of the crusher crew.
Lower Half Not Let
With the oiling OF the upper portion
of the new road from the Daniels
county line, motorists will have an all
weather road from P~lentywood to the
Daniels county metropolis with the
exception of nearly eleven miles from
Plentywood west.
An early letting of bids for compile
ton of the stretch has been assured
by the state highway commission. 1t
believed that bids would be called
at the first meeting of the commission
this month, but it was not included.
A letting of a crawling and oiling
contract for the unfinished eleven
miles within a short time would insure
an all-weather road to Scobey before
winter.
