The Hinh Cost of Living.

The prime cause of the high cost
of living has been, first and foremost,
a fifty per cent depreciation in the
purchasing power of the dollar, due
to gross expansion Of our currency
and credit Reduced production, bur
densome taxation, swollen profits
and the increased demand for goods
arising from fictitious buying power
have been contributing causes to
greater or less degree
We condemn the unsound fiscal
policies of the democratic admins

things to pass and their attempts to
impute the consequences to MINOR
and secondary causes. Much Of the

HAVRE TEAM CANCELS
GAME AT LAST MINUTE

The All-Stars, Havre's crack bas-
ketball team, which had agreed to
come here for game tonight, backed
up at the last minute and wired this
morning that they would not be here.
This is very disappointing to the To-
cal team as they had gone to the ex-
pense of advertising the game and
had sold large number of tickets.
The message from the Havre team
said:
Manager Berlin:
All-Stars unable to come. One
sick, one stalled in the country,
no substitute. Very sorry but
conditions cannot be helped.
Will have you HERE later.
This might look all right if it were
not for the last sentence. The
Evolves" feel that it looks just lit
tie like the Havre boys would rather
try conclusions on their own floor.
The locals are willing to play re-
turn game, but the agreement called
for the first game to be played here.
The Wolves have played all their
games but one away from home.

Three games of basketball in which
the school teams of Culbertson, Balm
vile and Wolf Point participated,
were the athletic events for last Fri
day and Saturday nights. The Wolf
Point high school girls went to Gull
bertson and. met the girls team of
the Culbertson school Friday night

girls played at Bainville and lost to
the home team by score of 10 to6.
Saturday night the Culbertson
and Wolf Point high school boys
teams played in the local high school
gym, the home team winning
rather easy victory over the visitors
by score of 80 to IL.
The Wolf Point girls returned
home on No. 8 Saturday night, and
were met by nearly the entire high
school and escorted to the school
building where the seniors, sopho-
mores and freshmen served most
appetizing lunch consisting of sand
wiches, coffee, cake and fruit to the I,
junior class, the high school faculty
and the three basketball teams.
Next Saturday night the Wolf |
Point boys and girls teams play at
Poplar against the boys and girls
teams of that school.

FINDS OIL BUSINESS
BOOMING in WYOMING

]. F. Jones returned to this city
Monday after spending several weeks
in the oil district of Wyoming to get
closeup view of the business of
oil producing. Hundreds of wells,
Mr.. Jones says, have been drilled
around Casper and Graybull and
practically every one is a producer.
One hundred, or more, cars per day
of oil are being shipped out of Cas-
per. The whole country is oil crazy,
the people don't talk about anything
else but oil. If stranger innocently
tries to talk about something else he
is looked upon as an intruder, and
nobody will listen to him.
The crude petroleum is selling at
1898 per barrel at the wells, and
from so to several hundred barrels
are pumped from each well per "a
hours. Several refneries have been
erected and are in operation.
While there Mr.. Jones secured
leases on large areas of oil lands and
returns here to organize a company
to engage in the business of oil pro-
duction and has some of the substan-
tial men of the town interested.

TWO BIG DEPARTMENTS
SWITCHED AT McALLENS

Groceries to the front" is the
new policy at the McAllen store and
accordingly the grocery stock has
been moved to the front of the store
on the west side. which is where it
was located in former times when
the place was known as the Traders
Store.
The large stocks of MEMS women's
and children's shoes and gents fur
nishings have been moved into the
section formerly occupied by the
groceries. Manager Ryan believes
that the new arrangement holds some
important advantages as it affords
more room to take care of the stores

chance for grocery display in the
big west window. The rear room
now occupied by the shoes and fur
nishings is we'll adapted for this pur-

WOLVES PLAY TWO
HARD ONES I'M D.
TIE AT STANLEY,
MINOT LEGION MEN WIN
SCORE as TO 35

The Wolves, the classy city basket
ball team, returned Saturday morn
ing from trip to Stanley and Minot,
North Dakota, after playing game
in each place. The boys did not re-
turn with as good a record as they
had hoped for but have nothing to
apo ogize for. They went up against
two of the very best teams in that
state and came out with one tie and
one defeat.
The Stanley team is husky and the
game was rough to the limit. The
hall is small, far from a regulation
basketball room, and has numerous
peculiarities such as a big hot stove
and piano to be played around. The
Stanley boys have played in the room
for years, and visiting team, play
ing in the place for the first time,
are at disadvantage. But for all
this the Wolves scored Is field bas-
kets to 13 by the Stanleys, but the
latter made four points on free
throws from fouls allowed by the
referee.
At the end of the regular period of
play the score was 1926. AS pro-
vided for in the rules of the game,
an extra 5-minute period was played.
We scored one basket and the game
seemed won, but at the very last of
the last minute Stanley shot one
through the loop. Another 5-minute
period was played and the North Da-
zotans semed to have the game won

WHAT'S YOUR NUMBER?
BETTER Get IT SOON

Many house and building owners
have applied for their proper num-
bers for their property but few
have neglected to do so. City En-
gineer Dowell is anxious that the ap-
plications should all come in and
urges the delinquents to hurry up.
1t costs nothing to apply for your
number and blanks for that purpose
may be had at almost any business
place. The metal numerals, which
may be bought at all three of the
hardware stores and at A. M. Behn-
er's on the Northside, cost but few
cents. Numbering the buildings of

NOTED SPEAKERS,
IRRIGATION MEET
SESSION PROMISES TO BE VERY
INTERESTING - IRRIGA-
TION A LIVE TOPIC

Arrangements for the irrigation
meeting to be held in Wolf Point at
the Liberty theatre next Saturday
afternoon, January "a, at 2:30, un-
der the management of Secretary
Foor, insure a meeting of unusual
interest. R. NJ. Connor, government
reclamation engineer, located at
Poplar, has accepted Mr.. Foor's in
vitation to be present, and has writ
ten that he has sent for a set of
slides, especially made to assist with
an illustrated talk ON irrigation.
Sam Teagarden, who is the prin-
cipal speaker at the series Of meet
ings being held along the Great
Northern line, is one of the best
qualified men in the state to handle
the subject in an instructive way,
and he will bring with him Mr.. Zan-
hiser, an engineer of much exper-
ience in this line Of work.
The time of the meeting was
changed from evening to afternoon
in order that it might be held in the

that a better attendance would be
possible at an afternoon meeting.
The citizens of both town and coun-
try are urged to take advantage of |
This opportunity to learn some of the
elemental points of getting an irri-
cation project organized.
There is strong sentiment among
he best informed business and agri-
cultural men of the state that the
irrigation of our irrigable lands is
me of the most essential and impor-
ant steps toward bringing our state
nto its own.

GOALS In ASHES STARTS
BLAZE in WOODEN WALL

A fire started by live Goals in
ashes deposited against the west wall
of the building occupied by the Ar
cade Cafe, burned its way into the
wall and gained fair start before
it was discovered early Monday
morning. Being sheltered from the
wind, and confined between the in
side and outside sheathing of the
wall, held the fire from getting a
better start and reaching a more
dangerous stage. The night shift in
the cafe smelled the smoke for near
ly an hour before they were able to
locate its source. Naturally they
looked in the basement and around
the furnace pipes and chimney. Af-
ter it was discovered that the build
ing was really on fire an alarm was
turned in and the department was
soon on the ground. The fire was
extinguished with the aid of the
chemical engine and without turning
on the water. The location of the
fire could scarcely have been more
dangerous, being in the midst of
number of frame buildings. 1t is
important that every
body exercise the greatest caution in
the handling of ashes. Fire Chief
Smith, acting under orders from the
city council, recently issued strict
order, directing that ashes be kept
n metal cans or else spread on the
ground and carefully covered with
snow.
