RAILROAD LIN
FROM SHANGHAI
TO NANKING CUT
Only One Line Remains
To BeIeaguered City

SHANGHAI, Oct. 26 U.N.S0.
Japanese forces today cut the
vitality important Marking rail-
way a little to the east of Nanh-
slang, strategically situated ter.
minal of the road.
AS result, the only completely
free. railroad left to the Chinese
is the Shanghai-Hangchow line.
WITHDRAWAL EXPECTED
with the Chinese position
around Shanghai now dangerously
imperilled by the Japanese ad.
vances, commanders of the invad.
ing forces anticipated a general
Chinese withdrawal from the
Kiangwan and Chapel areas to.
night, ending the weeks in which
they have chung to these positions
despite. shell and bomb barrages.
The Chinese, it was believed,
may attempt to form a new battle
line along the northern bank Of
Soochow Creek, part Of which
separates Chapel from the interna-
tional settlement.
100 PLANES m RAID
The Japanese entered Tachang,
six miles north Of Shanghai, in a
mighty blow struck as 100 Nip
ponese war planes rained death
from the skies and a desperate
combat ragged in the streets.
The slashing Japanese victory
was conceded by a Chinese mill
tary spokesman, who admitted
Tachang had been occupied.
Tachang, before it was captured,
was reduced to ruins by Japanese
guns and bombs. Large Chinese
reinforcements were rushed into
the wreckage, but in hours Of
bitter fighting proved unable to
stave off the Nipponese advance.
Other heavy Chinese troop re.
Enforcement, sent into nearby
Kwangfu, indicated that major
counter-movement may be in prep
aration.
The Chinese spokesman. as in
the case Of Tachang, admitted
the loss Of Miaocha11g, three miles
northeast Of Tachang.

TAX RECEIPTS IN
MAIL TO PAYERS
FIRST REAL ESTATE RECEIPTS
ARE PUT IN MAILS
WEDNESDAY

The first of the real estate re-
ceipts for the taXpaying period were
mailed from the county treasurer's
office Wednesday. Deputy Treasurer
Henry Goodman said today.
Only a partial mailing of receipts
took place this week and the re-
mainder to taxpayers owning more
than one parcel of land will be
mailed by the first week in Novem-
Der. Many taxpayers in Plentywood
received their real estate receipts on
Wednesday.
Mr.. Goodman said that more than
5000 receipts of taxes due will be
mailed property owners in Sheridan
county. The treasury officials urge
that payers make their payments as
early as possible and thereby avoid
the last minute rush TO the pay win
dow.
The first half payments are due
on or before Nov. 80 and after that
date become delinquent, drawing a
two percent penalty and eight per-
cent interest.
Taxpayers are reminded that the
tax moratorium now in effect does
not cover current tax payments.

Another Young Hunter
Bags Banded Bird in
Shooting Last Sunday

From present indications it takes
Plentywood's youngest hunters to
really bag prize birds.
Sunday, Morris Nelson, 13-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Mel
son, bagged a drake mallard duck
which carried a Biological Survey
band. Young Morris was with his
dad, hunting along the Muddy River
when they encountered a fine flock
of mallards. Morris, with his .410
guage shotgun, picked out the choice
bird "winging over" and brought
him down. The band which the duck
carried was numbered and inscribed
IA possibly d~enoting the year in
which the bird was banded. The
banded birds number has been sent
to the Biological survey at Washing
ton, D. c., from where the birds
history will be learned.
The banded mallard bagged Sun
day is the second in this vicinity
since the opening of the hunting
season. On the opening day, Britt
Chandler Jr. brought in a mallard
carrying a Biological Survey band.

SHIFTING OF WpA
LAb0RERS
NOT FAVORED
County Board Is Concerned
over Attitude of WPA
Officials

County commissioners we're much
concerned this week owe an attitude
of WPA authorities to remove men
from road projects in the county
and place them exclusively on iva
ter conservation" jobs.
The commissioners have expended
every effort to have projects carried
on which would be of most service
to people in all sections of the coun-
ty. They have taken the position
that, while conservation projects
such as the Carol dam is very bene-
fetal, smaller dam projects scattered
about the county would not be of
nearly so much lasting good as the
building and surfacing of feeder
roads over which farmers could
reach trading points at any season
of the year.
Consequently, road work has re-
ceived much attention, and county
equipment has been kept going night
and day to complete as much as pos
sible as well as provide work for thu
maximum number of men just SO
long as the weather remained ia
vorable and WPA continued to fur
nish labor. Crawling was soon to
be completed on the new Dagmar-
Reserve road; then the machinery
and crews were to move to the
Westby section, which up to this
time has been sorely neglected.
Then came orders to move men
from the road work to water con-
servation" projects. The chairman
of the board, in telephone conversa-
ton with the state WPA headquar-
ers at Butte Tuesday was informed
that officials there were not aware
Of any such orders. An investigation
was to follow, which, the commits
sioners hoped. would result in their
being able to continue the road
work.

Custer Of Slot Machines Is
Movement Started In City

Taking the lead in a movement to
stamp out slot machines in the city
of Plentywood, the Lions club at its
regular meeting Wednesday unan-
imously adopted a resolution re-
questing "city and county enforcing
officers to move worthwith and take
whatever action deemed necessary
to remove all money slot machines
and illegal gambling games from
business establishments in the city
Opinion was voiced by members
of several other church and com
munity organizations that similar
action would be taken Immediately
to join in arousing public opinion
against gambling devices operated
contrary to law.
County Attorney Vernon Hoven
explained the provisions of a So
called licensed gambling law
passed by the last session of the
state legislature, and the difficulty
that might might be experienced in
getting convictions of reported vic.
lators. "Slot machines, however,
declared the county attorney, "op-
Grated with money never were legal
and they are not legal now!" The
attorney also stated that all card
games and gambling devices oper-
ated with money are plainly Illegal
and could be Immediately suspend
ed.
P. G. Neville, mayor of Plenty
whatever assistance he could in get
ting the gambling machines stamped
out. He said he was ready to in
struct the chief of police to work
with the county sheriff Immediately
in a wholesale removal.
Complaint was made that high
school pupils have been seen play
ing slot machines in some of the
business places, while women had
been known to be playing the ma
chimes" in other places.
Sheriff Hans Madsen said he was
ready to "go the limit" in following
the mandate of public sentiment in
removing all illegal gambling from
this city as well as others through
out the county.
Sheriff Hans p. Madsen told The
Herald this morning that the custer
movement of all slot machines and
all unlicensed and Illegal gambling
meets with his approval and that

MT. Sopwith, who recently made brave fight for the yacht ing cup, has been recognized by a New York policeman as per son who was arrested and fined $5, twenty-five years ago, for speeding. The incident suggests several things, one of which is that in the long run nothing is hidden that shall not be revealed. Again, it may be remarked that MT. Sopwith can make better speed on land than on water. Finally, it is to be observed that times have changed. An auto driver who does not step it up to 40 miles an hour nowadays thinks that he is loafing on the road. On the whole, it will be well to for give MT. Sopwith's law breaking of quarter of a century ago, on the ground that, as the poet says: '..Time makes ancient good un- couth," and on the further gro- are tarred with the same stick as und that most of us auto drivers that with which the British yacht sman was marked to the extent of approximately l pound sterl- miles an hour was considered a ing, back in the days when 25 good and safe road clip and fast enough for anybody.
