nelson is AGAIN
NAMED FIRE Chief

At the annual meeting of the Plen-
tywood fire department held at the
city hall Tuesday M. S. Nelson, for
three years fire chief of the prominent
P~lentywood organization was re-
elected to that position. The annual
meeting was well attended.
l.. E. Helm, veteran fireman, was
named assistant fire chief. Mr. Helm
served as chief for many years. Art
LANCER was reelected secretary and
r. E. Gustafson was named captain OF
the hose wagon and F. j. Fishbeck,
captain of the chemical truck.
At the session it was voted to hold
a meeting the first Tuesday in every
month at which an intensive study
will be made on modern methods OF
fire fighting.
For more han 20 years P~lentywood
has been able to boast of ar exceed
ingly efficient fire department. The
local fighters have repeatedly received
recognition in fire fighting circles for
their ability to battle fires in a prompt
and efficient manner.
Last year the Plentywood fire
fighters fought seven fires. Every
blaze was fought successfully and
were put out before serious loss &C.
Cured.
Although a volunteer group timing
watches have shown that the company
have had their trucks moving from
the fire hall within two minutes OF
the time the siren has screened o n
day runs. On night runs the depart
ment's promptness has been extraor-
binary.
Proceeds Are High
At the Tuesday night session a re-
port of the annual fremen's ball was
revealed by the secretary. 1t was
learned that net receipts from the af-
fair totalled 1922 with the gross re-
ceipts at $496. Receipts were the high
est in years.
Plentywood businessmen and
t~ownspeople responded splendidly in
the drive for funds for the annual
ball. The cooperation was greatly
appreciated by the department.

for The President" to be held in
Plentywood Thursday, Jan. 80 at the
high school auditorium promises to
be an outstanding event.

school orchestra will play for part Of

ira, a f~avorite to many, will play a
portion and one of three orchestras
from Plentywood will appear on the
platform with their renditions.
Tickets will sell for one dollar. Pro-
ceeds, after expenses have been de-
Quoted with the exception of a small
percentage, will be distributed as the

and treatment of infantile paralysis.
Thirty percent of the receipts are
sent to a National committee in
charge to be used for prevention and
cure of infantile paralysis, of which
disease the President himself once
suffered.

SHERIDAN COUNTY
DROPS To SEVENTH
CLASS NEXT YEAR
Officers Salaries Lowered By
Move, Effective In
1887

Effective Jan. l, 1887, Sheridan
county will drop from a sixth class to
seventh class county and with the
change will come lower salaries for
office holders.
The change was made by the board
of county commissioners at the last
meeting.
Total county officials salaries will
be reduced $1,450 each year under the
seventh class rating. The county as
SCISSORS pay check will be III $500 a
year; county attorney, $500; sheriff,
$3.50; clerk and recorder, $500, and
county superintendent, 5000.
Montana Laws state that when a
county's taxable valuation is below
five million dollars the county is to be
rated as seventh class. Sheridan coun-
TVS valuation, which has been above
the five million mark has now
dropped below that figure and the
board of county commissioners acted
accordingly.
The matter of reducing Sheridan to
a seventh class county has been
brought up by ~taxpaying o%rganiza-
tons and individuals for several
years; however, the county's valua-
ton was above the figure prescribed
by law permitting a change, and until
now, it was not possible to change the
county's classification.
The change will become effective
Jan. /, 1887, inasmuch as present
county officers terms will not expire
until that time. thereby making it
compulsory that the change be made
at the start of new terms, according to
law.

INTEREST is
SHOWN IN TWIN GIRLS

Two bouncing twin girls, born
in Plentywood last Wednesday
will have a good h0me-a wish of
their molher's, who, because of
trying circumstances will be I'M
able to care for them and give
them that which she believes life
offers.
Sheridan county residents this
week opened their hearts to the
destitute mother and bright little
infants. Many have asked for the
privilege Of adopting them Every
inquiry received at The Herald
has been from homes which it
would be a profound privilege to
call your own. Some of the best
OF Sheridan cOunty's people, kind,
sympathetic and with a love for
little children.
Not only Sheridan county people
have asked for the privilege of
adopting the twins. Newspapers in
northeastern Montana and west
ern North Dakota have carried
pleas. Inquiries have been receiv-.
ed from as far as Three Buttes,
west of Scobey and last night a
telephone call from Williston re-
vealed that a couple there would
like to adopt them.
The response, which will make
a Mother happy, has been graft
flying. Inquiries coming to The
Herald have been listed with
authorities in charge. The Herald
does not know to whose home the
tots will go, but we are confident
that a splendid heritage will be
theirs at any one Of them.

lovely daytime frock, and with
- so much cunning that the dress
achieves an air of distinction, al
though it really is a simple affair.
Simple enough, in fact, for house
wear if you choose.
The waist is gathered to the skirt
under a self-fabric belt, and four
bright buttons march down in double
line to add a contrasting touch of
color and a soft double breasted ef-
feet. Raglan sleeves and a f1attering
collar give chic and youthful ap-
pearance. Why not make the collar

pleats in front and back are appropri-
ately designed in the skirt to help you
