Feed Purchase
Program For
County Started
Resettlement Bureau Takes
Steps to Insure Feed in
Drouth Area

The Resettlement Administration il
rendering further aid to drouth
stricken areas, according to Franz
Bough, district supervisor, who re-
ceived a communication this weel
giving details Of the new service which
will include the purchasing and dis
tributing hay and other roughage fol
the maintenance of foundation live
stock herds and focks in drouth area:
of Montana and the making of emer-
gency feed loans to distressed farm
ers for the purchase of hay.
The Sheridan county office will ac-
cumulate data as to the %county's re-
quirements for feed and will purchase
feed as it is required through govern
ment feed purchasing program which
is already established. This method
will eliminate storage charge, cost OF
handling and loss by shrinkage. When
possible the hay will be removed from
the cars directly by the farmers.
Needs ard eligibility of the client
will be determined by the local su-
pervisor who will then take the ne
cessary steps to negotiate the loan.
Each loan will be established into a
joint account between the client and
the supervisor to be used for the pay
ment for seed only and the signature
of both parties will be necessary to
make the checks valid.
Rules applicable to the loans are as
follows: loans are not to be made on
nerds so heavily indebted that the
value of the owners equity would not
warrant the cost of feeding the stock
for the winter; loans are to be made
cnly in drouth counties; loans will not
be given for productive dairy herds
capable of self maintenance. Heavily
encountered herds should be liquid
ated.
Feed may be purchased through the
Resettlement Administration by any
one who wished to avail themselves
of the government program whether
they made a loan through the r. A. or
not. Money must be deposited at the
county office on the same joint plan
used by clients and a credit estab-
lished. Any surplus will be refunded
at the close of the feed program.

Several week end jewellers in the
Piertywood vicinity, partially filled
with Montana legal liquids, found om
Saturday night that Montana highway
laws and regulations are to be respect
ed.
Last Saturday night Montana's state
highway patrol checked roads in the
Plentywcod vicinity which resulted in
singing reprimands to three drivers
who may now consider themselves
fortunate in escaping a stiff penalty
as can be melted by the patrol.
Roads from the dance east of Plen-
tywood were checked. Travellers to the
dance at Raymond were under watch.
The checking was in charge of N.
J. Cummings, highway patrolmen of
this district.
Three were quizzed for drunken
driving They were dismissed with a
warning,
Patrolmen Cummings told The Her
aid that accidents on the highways
from careless and drunken driving
must stop"
He warned that eff the two or three
who were stopped Saturday night and
warned were caught on the highway
again in the same condition, he would
recommend a good stiff fine of $3.50
and from 10 to 80 days in jail to think
it over"
The patrol plans to check on week
ends in this section at regular inter-
walls. Reckless driving will be dealt
with accordingly" the patrolman told
The Herald. Lights will be checked
ard cars found on the highways with
faulty lights of any kind will be given
) ticket"
In the Fort Peck ares motorists are
being fined in wholesale lots. Stiff
penalties for drunken driving are be-
ing melted. At. McCone City last week,
Jesse T. Soine, tunnel worker paid a
fine - $50 for driving while intoxicated
and was sentenced to ten days in jail.
N that area last week of 200 cars
stopped by the patrol it was found
that rs per cent violated, in some way
state regulations on lights.
Patrol regulations provide that
automobile headlights must be placed
20 that the center Of the lens is not
lover than "a inches from the ground
ard no higher than so inches. The
center line beam must fall four inches
in the first 25 feet for a loaded We
hicle, or six inches for one without a

iels Line Is Started
Today

cling was included for approximately

E0I KC YOU SHOULD
AOaAA0 KNOW
IN
Sheridan County

OLE WANG, resident Of Sheridan
county since 1921 has in twelve years
by hard and Conscientious labor &C
quired the reputation of being one of
the county's most successful farmers.
The extensive Wang farm and ranch
is located eight miles east of Plenty
wood on the Blue Trail.
In 1921 Ole came to Plentywood,
practically penniless, looking for work.
During the first year of his residence
here he was employed as a mechanic
at R. E. Lang's Ford garage and at the
Donaldson garage. His next two years
in the county were spent as a farm
hand.
In 1923 Mr.. Wang entered the tur-
key raising business with H. G.. Boil
ster and Pat McQuail as partners. In
1924 he started farming on a large
scale and for three years continued as
a partner Of Mr.. Bolster in the turkey
business. In 1927 he purchased the
business from Mr.. Bolster and bought
and moved to his present farm and
ranch east of Plentywood.
Ole buckled down to hard work. OF
sound business ability and a firm be-
lever in scientific farming methods, he
came to the front rapidly.
Hard times from drouth nay have
temporarily halted his advancement
but in spite of the trying times, MIR.
Wang can truthfully lay claim that
everything on his farm and ranch is
his.
At the well-known Sheridan coun-
ty mans farm east of Plentywood can
be seen orc Of the largest and best
registered Polled Hereford herds in
northeastern Montana.
He is a firm believer and user OF
pure strains of seed. His clean and
h~igh-grade grain fields are consist
emily the pride of Sheridan county.
Not only high grade cattle and
grain is raised on the Wang farm, but
fne-blooded poultry-in keeping with
the tradition established by him a
rumber of years ago.
In his spare time Ole Wang can be
found tinkering in his machine shop,
making something out of nothing. That
is his big hobby. Building up his
choice lot of blooded stock is another
of his hobbies.
He finds time to foster cooperative
movements which he is greatly in
terested in. Since 1929 he has been
secretary of the local Farmers Union
and has been manager for the Poultry
Association since its organization four
years ego. He was a county director
and vice chairman of the AAA during
its existence and is at present a direct
or and alternate member of the board
of the Sheridan county Soil Conser-
walton committee.
Mr.. Wang is a single man. His sis
ter, Emily, has kept house for him
since he started farming. He has one
brother, Lewis, end three sisters, Hell
en-, Tile ard Inga, living in South
Dakota. His parents, Mr.. and Mrs 7
L. Wang, reside in Roberts county, S
D., on the original Wang homestead.

GETTING DOWN TO
"BRASS

Can't help but wonder if a lot OF
Inconsistencies in Presidential cam
paign this year will not react to the
benefit of Mr.. Roosevelt. Fol- instance,

ranting and hurting of epithets-even
TO the extent of calling the President
of the United States a liar (for which
he made a public and well-deserved
Apologies, we believe, making votes
every day for the President. After all,
even though one may disagree with
ones political theories, there is a Ger
tain dignity and respect that we have
learned to give the highest Office in
the land. And those who openly re-
fuse to acknowledge that respect are
very likely to find themselves on the
diminishing side of confidence from
those of whom they were one the rec
ognized leader. This is about the sit
uation in which the Reverend Father
Coughlin finds himself today. Humid
reds of followers in his own denomin-
alton are showing an inclination to
support anything or anybody which
the famed radio priest decries. 1t is
also very evident that the Democrats
have ceased being greatly concerned
over what the leader Of the Society foi
Social Justice says or does.
: --
Then you heard six prominent gov
ernors tell a big radio audience last
week that Republican Presidential
candidate himself is a shining example
of inconsistent declarations. Landon,
they declared, four years-yes, two
years ago-was preaching the doctrine
of the Administrations New Deal,
voicing his approval for AAA, CWA,
and a lot of other alphabetical setups.
His hackers point to his balancing of
the state budget in Kansas as his one
greatest achievement as governor, n
yet it is freely admitted that this was
made possible, not Only through gen.
