Baby Tarantula Pays
Visit to Plentywood;
Now Jailed in Bottle

A baby Tarantula, a venomous
European spider, came to Plenty
wood the first of the week snug
in a bunch of bananas and is now
safely Jailed In a bottle at the
Red Owl store.
The poisonous little fellow was
found Tuesday by a Red Owl
clerk while u%ncrating a bunch of
the tropical fruit. Tarantulas
have been found in banana crates
here before but they have usually
been found dead. This baby was
alive and kicking and seemed to
be enjoying good health despite
climatic conditions he was not &C
customed to.
Baby Tarantula undoubtedly
had a long journey from some
tropical country to Montana. Tar
antulas are natives of Europe and
r found principally in southern
Italy. They are also found in Tex
as.
The bite of the spider is sup
posed to u t~arantism, a ner-
vous affection producing melan-
cholia, stupor and an uncontroll-
able desire to dance. Protracted
dancing to appropriate music is
supposed to be the only cure for
such a bite.

COURTHOUSE AS
WPA JOB SEEN

In Helena last week a delegation
comforting with state WPA officials
learned that it would be possible to
place the construction of a new
court house for Sheridan county un-
der a WPA project, should PWA
funds not be allocated for that pur-
pose by the Secretary of the Inter
Tor at Washington.
Although the project has been ;-p-
proved by the PWA board for some
time, the long delay In securing &C
tual ALLEGATION OF funds has caused
considerable doubt in the minds OF
| promoters of the project that 1t
would be completed. With this
thought in mind, two of the county
commissioners, with Mayor Neville
of Plentywood, inquired as to the
feasibility of working out the prof.
ect under WPA. The state director
was confident it would make IAN
ideal project
Without in any way hindering the
possibility of still securing the PWA
grant, state authorities in Helena
for WPA said they would get an APP
~plication started Immediately for the
project which could be taken al
vantage of in case the grant was not
obtained.
Should the project take the form
Of WPA construction, some 80 or 40
men would be employed continuous
ly on the building under the super
vision of a foreman and skilled la
Dor employed by the county.
At its regular meeting Wednesday
the Lions club, after hearing the re-
port of the committee, authorized
the expenses of Vernon Hoven from
Detroit to Washington to ascertain
lust what could be expected in the
matter of securing the PWA grant.
Mr.. Hoven expects to go TO Detroit
for a new car within a few days and
will make the trip to Washington at
that time.

DAGMAR ROAD IS
URGED BY GROUP

Two committees conferred with
the new state highway commission
on Friday of last week in an effort
to secure approva lof a new secon-
dairy highway from Reserve east to
the Dakota line, serving the Dagmar
country, and also to learn definitely
as to the construction program on
the Westby-Plentywood road.
The commission explained that, in
order to build the road from Re-
serve east, federal funds would have
to be matched equally with county
funds. insufficient funds are avail
able in the county to make such a
program possible this year, but the
board of county commissioners 1.-TWO
of whom we're present at the meet
ing) expressed themselves as desir-
Gus of building as much Of the road
as possible with county equipment.
1t was planned to confer with Il DEL
egation from the Dagmar commun-
ity in the near future to work out
some feasible plan.
Ten miles Of construction on the
Westby-Plentywood highway are as
sured for this summer, with a pos
sibility that some of the remaining
mileage might be let for construc-
ton before the end of the year.

a suit, H. W and Paul Kanning VS..
T.. w. PalutZke, the court was in

expected to occupy the major part
of the week.
The plaintiffs in the case, the
Kanning Brothers, filed suit to re-
cover ''overpaid interest on notes
and mortgages and charged the de-
PENDANT with usury and damages.
The amount asked was in excess of
$4,000. The settlement, it was said,
favored the plaintiffs.
Judge John Hurry of Glasgow pre-
sided, following disqualification of
Judge S. E. Paul.
The unexpected ending of the case
resulted in adjournment of proceed

CASE NO. |
THE FIRST OF \ SERIES OF
STORIES ON TAX FACTS IN
SHERIDAN COUNTY

Are YOU paying YOUR SHARE of
the cost of local government by pay
ing your personal property taxes or
are you lodging your tax payment,
thus placing the BURDEN on a
NEIGHBOR who pays his taxes?
Records at the court house reveal
that 100000 is outstanding in per-
sonal property taxes in Sheridan
county. The delinquency has accu-
mulated over a period of years. This
staggering total is made up of
SMALL SUMS, assessments from 81
up and with but a few assessments
above the $40 figure.
Take the case selected for this
weeks tax story, which we will call
Case No. l." taken from the delin-
auency tax rolls. Case No. 1" is a
citizen of Plentywood. We are not
interested in who he is, and we
don't know his name, but the tax
rolls reveal that he owes Sheridan
county, the state, the Plentywood
schools and the local city govern
ment S2S2.14 in personal property
taxes which we assume he could
nave pdiu.
In 1918 he failed to pay his as
sessment of S47.97; in 1919 he
didn't pay his personal property tax
of s39.54; 1920. S45.26; 1921,
S43.43; 1922, S29.82; 1924. $52.41:
1925, s12.97; 1928, S10.91; 1929,
$3.50.
This sum is now an ABSOLUTE
LOSS to the county, city, schools
and state. Property which could
have been seized to pay for such de-
lenquency is nov undoubtedly OBJ
solete and of no value.
Presenting the Plentywood man,
Case No. 1" has a family. His
children have had the opportunities
of excellent educational facilities
made possible by tax tax payments.
He has had the protection of the
police department during these
years. II a fire broke out in his
home,he would call the fire depart
ment.
BUT YET, he has refused to
share the burden of maintaining
these facilities by failure to pay his
just share in taxation. He has re-
fused to share the expence of main
tanning our schools, he has refused
to pay his share of maintaining the
police and fire departments who
have given him protection for many
years.

Twenty years ago this week,
however, Judge Hurry was not
hearing a civil suit. The old files

to hear petitions of rs people who
were seeking citizenship papers.
The files do not disclose how
many petitions we're granted by
him.
In years of service on the bench
Judge Hurry Is one of this states

Following the rapid spreading of

thought, where will it all end?"
Some conclusions are already self
evident. Every strike is making its
contribution to iniationary values,
and every concerted activity of sit

problem Of law and order that
leaves one in a decided state of won
