Arr'Y MCLAUGHLIN LAW
) CLERK FOR GOVERNMEN1
9 Attorney David E. -McLaughlin ol
L this city has accepted an appoint
at s Law Clerk in the Ordnance
Department of the United States Ar
my and left for Washington, D. C.,
Sunday, August 25th. He has closed
his law office at this place for the
period of th$ war as his partner, Mr.
L. A. Brown, joined the aviation ser
vice last December. Mr. Mclaugh
lin considered that the practice of law
Was not an essential occupation dur
ing the war and therefore offered his
services to the government.
Mr. McLaughlin came to Sheridan
county in 1913 and was located, at
Froid for some time. A little more
than two years ago he former a part
nership with Mr. L. A. Brown and
opened an additional office at Plenty
Wood, Mr. McLaughlin being in
charge at Plentywlqd -nd Mr. grown
at Froid. After. B rown joined
the colors the Froid office was closed
and all business transacted at Plenty
wood.,
The business of Mr. McLaughlin's
efce will be handled by- the different
attorneys of Plentywood.
With Mr. Killam ' of Froid, Mr.
Corner of Medicine Lake, Mr. Walton
of Bainville, and other attorneys of
this qpunty leaving for the service it
appears that Sheridan County will
have to Hooverise on law.suits for J
the dnrati "of the War.

- MENTS OF WELL BALANCED
WAR-TIME PROGRAM. AN
TE OTHER FOR 1919.
)ne ---
to The Plenty ood Chautauqua closed
ide on Wednesday night of this week af
the ter six days of a well balanced war
.eir time drogram and it was a huge suc
of cess. A committee of fifty local citi
m- zens have already signed up, and a
ige large number of people have pledged
rit- themselves to buy season tickets fo:
)re the 1919 Chautauqua.
wn Space will not permit of an ex
eir tended review of the numbers, but an
idea of the interesting features may
be had by the following brief review
lY which follows:
Dr. Henry Warren Poor delivered
orhis war lecture, "Wonders of the
World War," illustrated with slides
done in natural colors from official
photographs taken at the. front, in
n; the air and on the high seas.
P- "America and Japan," the lecture
rt by M. T. Yamamoto, the noted Jap
; anese scholar and student of inter
rd national affairs was timely, particu
k, larly as the world is on tiptoe await
- ing developments in the Far East.
Another war lecture of ringing pa
triotism was "What America Means
to Me," by Arthur Walwyn Evans,
nephew of David Lloyd George. .
d Other lectures of importance were
,- "Worlds in the Making," popular lec
ir tore by Dr. Arthur D. Carpenter;
"- The Adv~ptage of a Handicap," by
, Q,. lio A. Boyl; "American
e al.'s, ptiotic lecture by Mrs. A.
C, Zehner, and a health lecture by
Beatric Hes2ett.
' The ngical program was grand.
The New York City Marine Baud, un
der the personal direction of Signor
Mari*Loto and t;e grand concert
supplemented by te appearance of
Mary Adel Hays, New York Colora
tura sopra o and popular and operat
ic selections; the Apollo Concert Co.,
vith its additional feature of read
ings and impersonations by Miss J.
Beasley; the Hawaiians; the Mekto
politan Artists; the "Eichhorn.,
I'Community Sing" leaders, and the
Schubert Serenaders, brought splen
did and inspiring music to Plenty
wood.
The "Mother Goose Festival,"
staged by the "kiddies" on the last
night was an added attraction for
the children, and it pleased the
grown folks.
PLENTY WOOD) HAS VOLUN
TEER SHOCK TROOPS
Plentywood has an organization of
shock troops, composed of about
twenty-five men who have volunteered
to go out and shock grain for the
farmers who need help badly. The
money these troops receive for their
work,, will be turned over to the Red
Cross, and that is doing double duty
for their country at this time. Farm
ers' who need help should apply to
anyoatthe local banks or see L.G&
Zeidler. The boys expect to shock for
Sandvig, Geo. Overby, Walter Fred
ricks, Joe. .Mclntosh and G. H. Row
ley.
Orpheua, music being furnished by
Wia's razz orchestra and the men
enjoyed themselves to the utmost.
During the dance, a most appro
priate and inspiring song, entitle4
'"The Sheridan Boys," was composed
and sung by Kelly. This song
brought much applause and was en
cored so many times that we here
