NEW TREAT LAW
MAY AID BUYING

What may possibly result in In
creased business for Plentywood is
seen in the recent law passed by the
Canadian parliament allowing Canad-
ian tourists to make purchases in thi;
country up to 500 on certain articles
and on which no duty will be charged
Under the recent American Canad-
ian treaty provisions were made fol-
such an act. Parliament recently in
session approved the clause.
Just what merchandise that can be
purchased duty free up to the stated
amount has not been learned. Howev-
er, it is believed that the law patterns
closely hat which regulates buying in
Canada.
The law states, however, that Can
adian tourists who have been in the
States at least 4S hours may return to
Canada with goods valued up to the
500 mark.
Under the old Canadian treaty no
provisions were provided for such ex-
emptions of American made goods.
Plentywood automobile dealers who
have been studying the law contend
that under the treaty American made
automobiles can be sold to Canadian
customers for considerable less than
what they can be purchased across
the line.
With Plentywood being the biggest
trading town in this section, it is be-
lieved that trade will be stimulated.

rain COMES TO
Benefit SOIL

A rain which lasted nearly four
hours covered most of Sheridan coun-
(y last Friday night. Practically all
parts of the county report getting
moisture.
Sunday was cold with thermometers
nearly dropping to freezing tempera-
lures.
A high wind which lifted dust into
clouds prevailed throughout the coun-
ty Saturday. The first part of this week
has been windy with cool tempera-
lures.
Friday saw thermometers rise to SO
in Plentywood-the hottest recorded in
this section in many years. All of Mon
lana experienced a 24-hour heat wave
which was climaxed by the good soak
ing of Friday night.
Fields are turning green. Practically
no damage to tender shoots by whip
ping winds has so far resulted.

over THOUSAND
IN SOIL PROGRAM

Farmers who have not filled out
work sheets for the Agricultural Con-
servation program should do so now
says r. G.. Tyler, president of the
Sheridan County Agricultural Conser-
walton association.
Filling out work sheets is the first
step toward meeting requirements for
a grant or payment. If this is not done,
even though a farmer has met the re-
quirements, he is not eligible for a
grant.
After the closing date, which will be
announced soon, only farmers who
have signed a work sheet will be ell
igible for a payment.
Over 1000 work sheets have been
filled out to-dafe and the county board
is busy making applications at the
present time. Since the granting of
permission to use strip farming, and
blowing under of green in
addition to seeding of grasses, many
farmers are able to meet requirements
who could not do SO before. All of the
above are eligible for both the large
and small payments.
Farmers who have signed work
sheets and wish to meet requirements
should not overseed the IS per cent
of their base in soil-depleting crops.
Also the Is per cent requirement in
soil conserving crops or practices
should be equaled or exceeded.

TOMORROW night
amateurs Shine

Friday night will be a gala time ir
Plentywood when amateurs from al
parts of the county will assemble in
P~lentywood to compete in the Ameri-
can Legion amateur contest sponsored
by the local Legion post.
From advance speculation, it is be-
lieved that the high school auditorium
where the event will be staged, will be
packed to capacity. Practically every
town and community in Sheridan
county will be represented by anna
tours.
An simplifying system will be used,
thereby making it much easier for the
contestants to be heard and it will
add to the enjoyment OF listeners.
Ballots will be given with admit
lance tickets. Everyone getting a bal
lot is entitled to vote for his or her
f~avorite amateur. The audience will
strictly be the judge.
Following the rounds of pleasant en-
tertainment a dance will be staged
with music furnished by the Village
Troudabors. Winners in the amateur
contest will be announced during the
dance.

REVISED REPORT ON
BIG MUDDY PROJECT
is RECEIVED HERE
Project Would Include sc
Miles of Canal Along
Muddy Bottoms

A revised report on the proposed
Big Muddy project which has been
submitted to the State Water Conser-
walton board by Fred E. Buck, chief
office engineer, has reached Plenty
wood.
Embodied in the report are facts of
interest relative to the proposed dam
which would harness the waters
of the Big Muddy river through Sher-
idan county for irrigation
The total cost of the project is es-
timated at $476,0OO. Fifteen thousand

feet) $31.75.
The project storage facility accord
ing to Mr.. Bucks report is 10000 acre
feet and that 5000 acre feet of water
will be in reserve for dry seasons
which insure crop protection and in
ceased revenue during such periods.
The project is located in northeast
ern Montana and extends practically
across Sheridan county. Irrigable lands
below the dam extend for some SO
miles along the Big Muddy creek bot
tom.
According to the report cit is pro-
posed to construct an earthfilled dam
to create a storage reservoir Of 20 600
acre feet capacity. A canal on each
side of the creek will divert from the
reservoir and irrigate lands along the

ks YOU SHOULD
OAAA0 KNOW
SheridanC County

GEORGE nj. PIERCE, early Sheri-
dan county and Plentywood resident
and United States war veteran recent
ly passed the seventy-third milestone
of an eventful life.
Born at Dubuque, Iowa, Feb. 8, 1863
the well known and respected Plenty
wood citizen came to Sheridan county
in 1908 and settled in P~lentywood.
During the past % years he has resid-
ed here.
In Iowa George Pierce grew to man.
hood. Following his educational work
he started farming. OF sturdy body
and fine physical makeup he was lat
err given employment as a law en-
forcement officer in his native state.
He served on that states police force
fer a number Of years. Friends recall
that the Plentywood man at that time
mastered every situation that con-
fronted him as a policeman. His phys
ical prowess is still evident in his 73rd
year.
When war with Spain broke out
George Pierce enlisted. Although at
that time past the age of men being
recruited, he had no difficulty in being
accepted. He served with Co. G, 49th
Iowa Infantry in Cuba during the war
and was honorably discharged from
the service with the rank of corporal
May 10, 1899.
Mr.. Pierce wildly recalls an incid-
ent of the Spanish-American war
while stationed at Havana. He was a
member of the detachment that wit
messed the unfurling of the Stars ano
Stripes over MORO Castle, a strong
Spanish stockade. He saw the crimson
the flag pole and in its stead appeared
the Stars and Stripes. Thousands OF
young soldiers cheered Justify wher
Old Glory, hanging limp in a deac
calm, was unfolded by a breeze as il
by magic.
Following the wal Mr.. Pierce re-
turned to Iowa. A year later he start
ed for North Dakota and settled on
homestead in McHenry county. Eight
years later he came to Plentywood
The first eight years of his residence
here he operated a coal mine north
east Of the city. With years of expert
ence in police work he was appointed
marshal of Plentywood. For twelve
years Mr.. Pierce successfully served
in that capacity here. For the pas
six years he has been a Justice of the
Peace in Plentywood.
In 1889 he was married. Present a
the wedding ceremony forty-sever
years ago were several people who
now reside in Sheridan county, ane
who at the time lived in Iowa. They
are c. c. Thompson, E. E. Belansk
and Blaine Dean. Mr.. Pierce recall!
that Blaine Dean was a rather young
chap at the time, but he was there
just the same.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pierce, during theil
many years, have been an importan
part of the community which the,
helped to found.
The veteran Sheridan county MAJ
is a Mason and a member of the IOOT
lodge.
