More than fifty Sheridan county

Union and sympathizers with CO.
operative enterprise by the farm
ers, and workers, met in Plenty
wood, Tuesday, April IA, and
formulated the plans definitely for
the organizing of Farmers
Union Oil company for Plenty
wood, with the ideaa of retailing
gas and oil and selling motor fuel
to the members in a cooperative
way, thus saving the profits to
the members which are returned
in the form of patronage dividend.
There are many successful Farm
ers Union Oil stations in Montana
and North Dakota, which are
handling a constantly increasing
part of the distribution Of oils and
gas. Over at Peerlec Daniels
county, the Farmers Union have
had a very successful oil company
for a number of years. Recently
the Farmers Union took ever the
Hanson Oil station at Flaxville
and put up a Farmers Union sign.
At Wolf Point is flourishing
station, retail and bulk, which has
a huge business, and at Froid is
another very successful company.
At Williston there is very large
and successful cooperative which
does a tremendous business. So
the Farmers Union cooperative
idea is not new in this section, but
a tried and proven enterprise.
A few weeks ago the members
of the Farmers Union and other
interested farmers held prelimi-
nary organizational meeting at the
court room of the court house at
Plentywood, when it was decided
that a provisional organization

SEED LOAN APPROPRIATIONS
BOOSTED TO $47,OO0,O0O
To STOP ACTION ON VETO

Washington, April IA boost
in the maximum funds available
for seed loans to farmers to $4l,-
100000 was disclosed today with
transfer to the farm credit ad-
ministration of SIT 100000 from
resettlement and emergency re-
lief Golfers.
The move was interpreted as an
effort to forestall a threatened
senate effort to override President
Roosevelt's veto of the $50, 0OO,OOO
seed loan appropriation bill. In
its stead, the president promised
to make available $50, OO0, 600 70
the F.C.A. Today's additional
grant transfers $1,000, 900 from
the resettlement administrator,
and $1O,0OO,OOO from emergency
relief funds. - .
Of the $50, 100000 promised, 9
total Of $7,0O0,000 already mas
been allotted.

'The Iateness of the season

Alarm was expressed recently
by state and federal officials
over regulations which would
prohibit approximately 10000
farmers in North Dakota need
ing seed from obtaining seed
loans from the federal govern
ment, because the farmers were
receiving temporary aid from the
resettlement administrator.

BY FRANCOIS

All good things must come to
an end, 'tis said, and outstanding
and unique night club features
are not immune from the con.
cepts of this axiom. SO it is with
regret that appreciative persons
who enjoy exhibitions of skill will
mark the closing appearance OF
Anne Sigman who combines a
comely and attactive figure with
some of the rarest performances
of pingpong wizardry we have
seen in a long time. Miss Sigman
will close her all-too-brief stay
at the Shoreham ballroom this
evening.
Next on the docket for the
edificatiOn of patrons at the
Calvert Street hOstelry will be
Bartell and Hurst -four Of
them) who are returning Mon.
day to give WaShingtOnians
further samples of their extra
ordinary skill as "the best
adagiO dancers to strut their
magic in these parts" for quite
some time. The redundancy is
purpOsely expressed because
the type of talent exhibited by
both Miss Sigman and the lat
ter team represents the acme
in their respective vocational
fields.
Hazelle and Klatoff, eXponents
Of the bolero, will hold over
through Monday and Tuesday
nights, when they will leave for
Palm Beach where Klatoff is
opening the new Showboat Club
of which he is to be manager. Ted
Lewis, recently featured at a down
town movie house, will oblige his
old friend, Klatoff, by opening
the Showboat with his popular
band.
Saturday nights at the Heigh
Ho Club are events longingly
awaited by round-the-townerS with
a taste for the sublime. The
cramped quarters at the club are
always packed by society big
wigs on Sabbath ewes who can't
get enough of that Pete Macias
rhythm and the atmosphere that
goes with it.
If looking for the color in en-
tertainment, there's only one
place to go, and that's the Rus
sian TrOika. Brilliant COssack
raiment worn by the dynamic
Sasha Orlick and the dark-eyed
and beautiful Elena LOlik in
their series of Russian dance
interpretations add to the
glamour of the show at Mrs.
HamiltOn'S place. By the way
if you haven't scrutinized the
murals on the TrOika'S ball
room walls, take a Squint at
the exquisite hangings the next
time you're there.

LIKES STAGE PLAY
MORE THAN MOVIES
But Both Offer Creative In
stinct for Those Who
Are Interested
BY LESLIE EICHEL

OcuLIdl IIcSS Oldll Wl1CC1
We are happy that the play sea-
son has opened again. Fortunately
we are where we can see some stage
plays. Would that everybody were!
We enjoy the movies. We sensed
that Robert Taylor would be a ia
vorite the first time we saw him.
We even like the movies that critics
say are too slow" For example, we
believe Zone Rainy Afternoon" to be
perfectly delightful
But there is no thrill like going to
the theatre to see a stage play. There
is an excitement connected with it
that comes with nothing else. Indeed
where else is there such an excited
buZzing as when the lights dim out
prior to the rise of the first curtain?
A REVOLT
The stage, however, is not the same.
1t is changing from make-believe land
to stark realism.
The stage has become a forum of
front rank in national affairs.
The play of protest" the play of
social evolution usurps nearly half
of New York's stages in mid-season.
Shall we object?
mo. FOr CnlS Oo0OCoS vital, living
nation.
When a nation has only cultivat-
ed, perfected art on it's stages, it has
reached a decadent age.
Plays of protest come only from a
living, growing, vibrant nation.
The stage belongs largely to youth
and youth must speak in vibrant
terms.
Yet, we must say, the best plays of
ali ages-"Romeo and Juliet" is pure
ly story and elemental philosophy.
We saw it done exquisitely the other
day-in the movies. Was there ever
another "love" play to equal this?
CIVIC THEATRES
Cixic theatres, or, rather, groups
that produce their own plays in
their own cities, are gaining. That
is a healthy sign.
Time was when this writer belong
ed to such a group4zand helped pro-
duce and Helped direct and to shift
the scenery.
We can't recall which was the most
important But the thrill of it still
fingers. And the broadening influ-
ence of it, the creative instinct in
stilled by touch with the "arts," have
made life somewhat more under
standable

tant commissioner Of revenue was an
nounced some three years ago and for
some time thereafter. There was con-
sternation in the department when
his appointment was announced and
for many months he was probably the
most heartily hated State official a
mong State employees here, especially
in the revenue department. When he
put the ban Of cigarette smoking a
mOng the stenographers and clerks,
banned vases of flowers and the con-
slant running to the corner drug store
for cold drinks during office hours,
the air was aim ost blue after the
girls in the revenue offices got thro-
ugh saying what they thought about
him.
But as the employees got to know
DR.. Noble better, watched him work
and began to learn that he was Just
as anxious to help and reward those
who were doing their work and anx-
ious to do it right as to weed out the
drones and political office holders,
they started to change their estimate
of DR.. Noble. And when eventually
the wedding out process was ended
and the employees discovered how
much smoother the entire department
was functioning, they realized that
DR.. Noble was their friend and help
er, not their enemy. Now that he is
leaving the department for good,
their are far more tears than cheers.
