The last Labor vote 1924 was 6,487,000 and 11 years 2,244,000. One certain conclusion which can already be drawn is I V , WU Labor, encouraged by these successes, will continue its war on ignorance with greater energy and build up yet more; effective industrial and political orga- j nizations. "The British labor victory will not of course at once establish a co-oper ative commonwealth in Great Bri tain," commented Norman Thomas Socialist presidential candidate in 1928. three things: 1. A splendid opportuni ty for constructive labor progress in Britain. 2. Immense encouragement to all labor and socialist parties thru out the world, emphatically including the Socialist party. 3. New hope of world peace which was definitely men-1 aced by the unalterable militarism and imperialism of the Conservatives and the wily trickery of Lloyd George." i i t : t But the victory clearly means % TRIM CULBERTSON ?"SS2 Ää P» « abort becaneo amy weainer. players were: An N , • d son Vernos, Ernie HelgSnBervl Pterce, Chris Chris Igeson, ö ^ Lang and Fntlior fVR^nrVp Father O Romk • ^ - a re . j t f ^ n t he Plentywood Sunday afternoon next. gr y _— Plentywood Golf Notes The Plentywood golf 3a "' now the best m the State of Monta » a * . • • Anton Nelson is all puffed up ovei a score of 38 Which he made on the i oca l green Thursday afternoon.

The At Farmer-Labor Temple was crowded to I capacity, while Ray White s hot in orchestra furnished the music for the evening. Approximately fifteen hun dred tickets were sold to admit the the J holders of such tickets to the dance, and also gave them one chance on the several cars which were being offered as a prize. Mr. J. R. Lowell of Plen tywood was the holder of the lucky the number. Mr. Lowell was unable to make a decision as to which one of t he cars he should select, so he put M. the names of the four cars on a the table and blindfolded drew the Chev rolet, and Mr. Lowell is now the own Hall er of a new Chevrolet Six. From a financial standpoint, the Legion was very successful, and it will now be his possible for them to promote the sev ' eral projects for the benefit of the community and county which they have selected to carry on this year.

If you fellows were wise you would pursue a policy of peace and harmony and you would now get the contract. Of course I know that the Plentywood Herald will also be sore because Dolin gets the contract we consider his paper no good nohow and the fellow that is running j ce is an outsider. He will probably fill ed front page about this but I don't | care - ' Mr. Wallace: "Well maybe you are right about the Herald not being much a paper, Frank, hut you are prob ably sore at the Producers News be cause of the Hans Rasmussen articles. The articles referred to appeared while I was editor hut if you replied, you would get the same space as Mr. Rasmussen. The policy of the Pro ducers News is to give everybody, who feels' aggrieved, a fair shake in its columns and you would get exactly the same treatment as the then coun ty surveyor, if you wanted to give vour side of the case, Frank.
