It was in the good old I days when people married for keeps. ; For half a century this honorable couple has stood side by side through pleasure and hardship—lots of hard-1 ship—and helped not only one another but everybody else they came in con tact with. Many a mother and youngster owe their lives to Mrs. Cas ; per, she was always there when help was needed the most. family and Mi', and Mrs. Nels Oksen dahl were at the Marsh home Sun day practicing on the Christmas play which is to be given at the hall Sat urday evening, Dec. 24th.

M hile not ready for exhibition pur poses, the Fords have been observed by several and much approval of their witness and finish has been voiced. Their bodies are finley lined and graced with pleasing curves. Their cplor job is of a quality that shows richness and well being, and their lines in general are wholly fitting for tbe xv . or k desired of them. Probably n °t without reason the design follows tbat former models, but there are individual differences. They are gen orally quiet, but there is considerable sound under heavy strees of exertion, Their speed and durability have not >' e t been tested, but their fuel con-j sumption, at leasL at the present tim . e is surprisingly low. Methods of caring for the radiator overflow re mains the same. While formed on the same general principles, there is much difference between the two models received here which is not surprising whe n it is considered that one is a boy and the other is a girl bom to Mr. and Mrs. Louis Ford.

This happened some time ago by the Barbers union throughout the larger cities in the state. The orga nized barbers put up a hard fight and spent their hard earned money and their physical efforts to have it come about. It took many a hard knock and many abuses from many angles. It came from the main streeter, it came from many other unorganized bodies of the producing class, and from others who call themselves pr ° tessionals of one thing or the other. I here was no one to assist or keep them encouraged but the organized workmen of the several trades thru out the state. Not a whimper an echo of any financial aid couragement were heard from the I erage smaller town barbers in the different parts of the state nor did they give them any help. It is well known that the small town barber has a hard time and needs more to have a decent living, in fact all who produce needs it but to kick on any one who attempts to get more is not versed on the condition that they are living in. It is a well known fact that the age small town barber shop has been a propaganda center against all pro ducers and farmers organizations, especially in this state. I would like someone to explain why it is that open shop barber shop comes in at this time and takes advantage of Union Barbers prices after their hard battle and trouble of getting it with out giving any assistance when they needed it most. They should at least join the Union and put a card in their shop if they are going to ' use the prices and help them to pave the way in their future battles. I presume that as long as they have used union prices on the men's hair cuts and shaves that they will also have the union prices on women's hair-cuts. — ' or even or en av aver an union Yours, JOHN J.

Sheridan County Officiai Ouster Case is Dismissed i Mile ! 1 the duty of each member to look after I and take charge of all road and bridge y matters in his district, and to make j A neceésary and proper repairs to roads ; hâd and bridges and culverts therein and to make report thereof to the board; that under and bv virtue of that au thoritv of the board, the defendant Iverson, at the times specified in the accusation, performed the work indi- j n cated in the accusation, in viewing inspecting and repairing roads ana bridges within his district, and within f the county; that at subsequent meet mgs of the board he made oral report to the board of the work performed by him, and that, while in most cases, r* no formal order was entered by the, board, or by the clerk, in the minutes i approving the same, the bills for his j services and expenses in performing | proved and paid by the board. _ of The evidence fuither conclusively shows that the county of Sheridan received full value for the moneys so paid to defendant on account of such in services and expenses, and that such services were rendered and money ex- ly pended in good faith and in the hon est belief by defendant that they con stituted legal and proper charges against the county; and that the de ' fendant in so charging and collecting I said sums, acted in good faith, with ; out any conupt motive. ''By reason of the complete absence of any testimony showing a corrupt motive by defendant, 1 probably should j have sustained defendant's motion for : a nonsuit, but, not having done so, ! and having heard the proof showing Rood faith and lack of couupt motive on the part of defendant, and the full value received by the county for the work performed by defendant, a deci | sion and judgment for defendant is inevitable. "It is apparent from the testimony of the witnesses, Madson, county clerk and recorder, and French, and defend ant Iverson, that the minutes and rec ords 0 f the board were very loosely and imperfectly kept, that the clerk j whose duty it was to make full, true complete minute entries of all re ports and proceedings presented to the board, seldom, if ever, made any min | ute entry of the oral reports of the j (Continu« d from page One) j commissioners as to the road work i i done by them, or as to any action tak en by the board, save ana' except \ the action of the board in allowing and approving claims charged against I the county for such set vices, 1 j "In the absence of such minute or I | record entry, parole testimony was re 1 ccived on the trial, under the author- i 1 ity of McKinnon vs. Read, 251 Pac. I 548. j "Oral evidence respecting such ports all tends to show taat at the I ] sessions of the board following the 1 performance of the work, defendant | and another commissioner, French, | talked over or discussed the road and | | hi idge work in their respective dis irictS with the board, advising the board of the work done, and presented their claims for compensation for the same, which claims were allowed and ! subsequently paid. While that meth od of receiving and approving such I reports is irregular and not to be | commended, I hold that the payment of the claims after knowledge of the nature and character of the work ] done, cures such Irregularities and substantially amounts to approval and acceptance by the board of the ( work done, where it also apdears, as 1 it does in this case, that the county received full value for the -work done for it, and that the defendant and I Elen ch, another commissioner, acted j in good taith, and without mv mr 'rupt motive. any cor re 1 i "if | comm : s : on P . , of tbe county ; aml technically mS* stnctly ! j n ma ki n „ l • 1' Wltb tbe ] aw ! on the rnfnutel S H ^ 1 1 n f p ® ctl ® n hd (1 to con -tft„tl the boardls L ° be omiWon fnr whïl X C ° rrUpt a - ct or mav ^ e re ] i tbe commissioners TL „'g offlce ' jt 18 ln ' • doubtf ul lf there is a commis i sioner in any county in the state who is nat subject to removal. -* * * * "As to the trip made by the de fendant to Billings to attend the state meeting of county commissioners, it was made under the authority Chapter 124, 1923 Session L ♦ * of F-.

"For the foregoing reasons, it fol lows that defendant is entitled to judgment dismissing the case, and for his costs." Advertising in Newspa pers Is Good Business "No business man in any town should allow a newspaper published] m au t ? wn to F° without his name and business being mentioned some where m its columns," according to h be . . American Bankers Magazine. his applies to all kinds of business and professional men.* This does not mean you should have a whole, half even quarter page ad in each is sue of the paper, but business should he oi your name and mentioned. The man who does not advertise his busi ness does an injustice to himself and the town The man who insists sharing the business which comes to town, but refuses to advertise own, is not a valuable addition to any town The life of a town depends upon the live, wideawake and liberal advertising business men." on his CHRISTMAS PROGRAM There will be a Christmas program and dance at the Daleview Hall, Mon day, December 19, 1927 given by the Robinson and Daleview schools, eryone is cordially invited.

Not only is there near everything a person can think of ! the goods are cheap and the qual- ! exceptionally good. In fact there so many much larger towns that cannot show the merchandise that can 1 now be found' in Plentywood. ' This fact is bringing more and I more people from all over Sheridan j county and this section of the coun to Plentywood to do their buying 'j and «flopping, thus making possible the large and varied stosk in the Plentywood stores. In fact Plenty wood is growing rapidly. It has be come the most cosmopolitan small town in the state of Montana or in the state of Dakota too, for that matter. Everything can be found in Plenty wood that can he found in a town five times the size and it is the most fam ous small town in the state. Prob-' ably no other town in the state does the' volume of business that Plenty wood does. It is a live town in the center of the best agricultural section the state. Its inhabitants are up and coming. There is not a hcusc to rented in the city, and probably forty families that wanted to move into Plentywood have been unable to do so because of the lack of houses. One can hardly get a room here. Be cause of this fact there is going to be large building program inaugurated next spring when a number of fine homes will be built. Sheridan county and Plentywood is prospering and its growth has only just commenced. Bandits' Visit Yields - Lamed, Kan., Dec. 9.—Four ban dits held up the First National bank of Lamed this morning and escaped with $22,000.

Brown was forced to ride with the! bandits for nine miles, then he was unceremoniously kicked out of the car near Garfield as the bandits, sped away to the south. "We hate to do this, Brownie, but we've got some friends down south we've got to bail out of jail," the bandits told him, Brown later told Lamed police. He was at a loss, to know' how rhe bandits obtained his name, unless it was by the plate over bis desk. --mi? Wf r i i 'f LJ Woman Ends Life when Her Husband Objected to Gifts Andrew C.
