FRIDAY:-Plugged away at my script at top speed for fifteen or twenty minutes while waiting for the postnan. Decided to use that gag about the 'lady I seen you with last night" Only instead of giving you the right answer I'll change 1t to "That was no lady that was your wife" Postman came tardily to tell me that he was plenty embarrassed, but there was nothing for me. Publicity man called. Said Brooklyn Bridge was out. Any New Yorker falling through the air more than ten feet needs a parachute-jumper's license and the p. ]. union wouldn't let me get one.

patton Proclamation.
John was born a free negro and
spent his youthful days on a south
ern plantation. He saw the bitter
ness fade the south held for the
north after the Civil war.
His father died when he was a
small boy and several years later he
acquired a step-father. He had sew

book learning, and when the prom

PARCHED AREA TO
APPEAL FOR WORK
Continues; DESTITUTE
WILL APPEAL

Sheridan county and northeastern
Montana sweltered this week under
a rampant sun with thermometers
registering over the 100 mark, add
ing CONSERVATION in an area already
gripped by the worst drouth in his
tory.
Rainless skies still continue in
this area, dimming prospects of feed
for livestock.
Another week of relentless drouth
and heat in this section will result
in the biggest movement of live
stock from here since the area was
settled.
With hopes for a crop shattered,
farmers and ranchers have concen-
trated on prospects for livestock.
Tuesday night electric storms
brought a light sprinkle to this sec
ton, but was not of sufficient guam
tity to be of benefit.
Destitute Sheridan county far
mers this week were prepared to APP
peal to the government for aid.
Concentration on work projects,
making possible a livelihood for the
drouth stricken is the aim in Sheri-
dan county and today concerted
drives will ge under way to secure
immediate work relief for a pum-
melled, parched area.

John Wilson, 50, Sheridsn's Lone
Negro Citizen Is Taken By Death

Death claimed John Wilson, Sher-
idan %county's only negro citizen
Thursday at the home of friends,
Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Tyson of near
Dagmar. He was SO years old.
In i'll health for more than a year
death to the colored man came as
he sat on the back steps of the Ly-
son home. Death was caused from a
heart ailment and a general break
down of the physical forces.
Friends gathered at the Dagmar
church Sunday for last rites. Flow
ers banked the casket in which he
lay In death. They were tributes
from acquaintance who had known
him for many years as a good citiz-
en- of Sheridan county, and as the
colored man who came north" to
live in white floks' country-of his
race alone, but not without friends.
He was buried at Dagmar, laid to
rest in northern soil, a territory of
his liking, where he had lived for
81 years.
Born in Carolina
John Wilson VISA born near Will
mington, N. c., March %, 1868. the
son of negro slaves freed by Abra-
ham Lincoln in his historic Enamel

"New and Different"
Seems to be Motto
in Spelling Finals

1t looks as though good spoilers,
like heroes, are born and not made
at least it evidently takes more
than eight years of public school ed
ucatio to make them.
or course we wouldn't make any
such rash statement without consid-
cradle backing. Here's the proof.
The word "chiffonier'' was given
as a spelling word in the eighth
grade finals this spring. Four out of
the SO pupils who took the test con-
quered that particular demon. They
are Martha Gronvold of Eden Valley
school. Hans Miller of Hawthorne
school, Howard Waller and Howard
S~killingberg of Homestead. The
versions offered by the other "a
practically constitute a new lang
uage. Here are the various forms:
Shifinear, c%hifinear, chateau,
s%hlfanear. shipaner. sifonior, shaft
feur, sefiner. chiffoneir. chifoneir,
chefoer, sherfnear, chifoneur, chif-
f%onear, ~chifeoneer. sifauneer, chef
faneir, shiffinere. chiffonere, shmen-
ear, chifonear, 'chauffei0ner, chinin-
eur. shyinier, subanear, %chevionor.
chiffonir, c%hifonur, s~hippenear,
chauffener, ~shifanere, shevenier,
chivonier, sefiner, seuvenier, CHR
ear, sheauvnere, shifinnaire. chif-
fonaiur, chiffonur.
So, weary mother and discouraged
teacher. if Johnny insists that the
"e" comes before the 81" In be
%lieve.r and that there's only one
I'm" in recommend" don't lose
hope--he still may be away above
average. Besides. don't you think
something should be done about ed
ucators who infict such words as
"%chiffonier" on poor little innocent
eighth graders?
