CIVIC LEAGUE TO
HOLD BABY CLINIC
TOTS UNDER SIX YEARS TO BE
WEIGHED AND EXAMINED
SEPT. 20 AND 2I
DOCTORS WILL ATTEND
Past Clinics Show Need of Examir-
ing ChIidren-Ton and Ade-
noids Source of Trouble

Wolf Points third baby clinic will
be held at the American Legion
rooms next Monday and Tuesday af-
ternoons, Sept. 20 and 81. The hours
are from one to five each afternoon,
and all parents having children un-
der six years old, are urged to bring
them to the clinic during these hours.
County Nurse, Mrs. B. Della Dahl
will be present, and she will be assist
ed by several of the ladies of the
Civic League under whose auspices
the clinic is being held. Doctors De-
Wane, Morrow and Mowatt have all
promised to be n attendance as much
of the time as possible during the
two days, and it is expected that
there will be at least one doctor pres
ent all of the time.
For Whites and Indians
There are probably four hundred
children in Wolf Point and tributary
to the city that are under six years
of age, and every one of these child
rem should be brought to the clinic
for examination if it is possible for
the parents to bring them. Both In
dian children and white children are
wanted. The only children exclud-
ed are those who now have con-
tagious disease or are just recover
ing from one. Last year there we're
a few Indian parents who brought
their children, but not many. The
baby clinic is for ALL the children,
and a special invitation is extended
to Indian mothers to bring their ba-
bies and have them examined. There
is no fee in connection with this ex-
animation. Indian mothers to whose
attention this comes should mention
it to others.
In 1918 there were about ITO
children brought to the baby clinic.
Last year there was not so much in
terest shown, and only 115 children
were brought to be weighed and
measured, but the value of clinic
of this sort was brought out very
forcibly when it was found that SO
of the 115, or approximately AZ per
cent of the children, had some de-
feet, slight in many cases, which was
in need of medical attention. Ton
sils needing attention led the list of
defects, "a of the children having

ORGANIZE FEDERAL
LOAN ASSOCIATION

The farmers of the Wide Awake
community held a meeting at the
schoolhouse September 14th to eff
feet the preliminary organization of
the Federal Farm Loan association
which purpose was accomplished. Ar
lie M. Foor, secretary of the Com
mercial club of Wolf Point, was
elected secretary and treasurer, and
such other business was performed
as was necessary to making applica-
ton for a charter.
Secretary Foor has made applica-
tion to the Federal Farm bank at
Spokane. The new organization has
adopted the name of the Wide Awake
Federal farm loan association. The
Wide Awake farmers are certainly
to be congratulated on starting an
organization of this kind which is
certain to prove a great benefit to
them.

events. Of great interest also will be
the Indian exhibits of livestock and
agricultural products, their bead
work and other needlework.
Another feature of the celebration
will be a genuine barbecue which
will be held on the fair grounds. And
it is planned that the Indians in cos
tune will participate in number Of
their tribal dances.
Poplar stages some excellent coun-
ty fairs, and it is expected that the
one this year will outshine all the
others. A number of Wolf Point peo-
pie are planning to attend.

COUNTY CAMPAIGN
OF VITAL IMPORT
CAN THE POLITICIANS GRIP BE
SHAKEN LOOSE BY THE
COMMON PEOPLE?
a WANT COUNTY SEAT
Situation To Date-Machine Backs
PopIar-Farmers Generally for
f7a Wolf Point

With six weeks of the campaign
still ahead, the lines appear to De
sharply drawn and the issues well de-
fined. In this county the ticket OF
the Office holders, backed by the pro-
fessional politicians, republicans and
democrats, is lined up against the
Farner-Labor ticket nominated at
the democratic primaries. Being the
first election since the creation OF
the county, it is considered to be
of the most vital Importance whether
county affairs shall be given into
the hands of the closely organized
rolitical machine, or into the hands
Of the people.
The politicians ticket expects to
draw support from the smaller towns
along the main line of the railroad
and from some of the territory I'M
mediately surrounding them, while
the ticket of the organized farmers
and organized labor will get its votes
from among the memberships of the
Leagues, from a large per cent OF
the other farmers and workingnlen
and from the city of Wolf Point,
which made clear its stand in the
primaries by giving the farmer-labor
candidates to l vote or better. 1t
is hound to be one of the hardest
county fights ever staged with the
results depending largely upon the
farmers and Wolf Point getting their
strength out on election day.
Tie past week has seen registra-
ton drives all over the county that
should result in heavy vote in No
vember.
a Cornered Race
The situation is made more in
tense bv the question of locating the
county seat, with four contenders in
the field. These are Wolf Point, Pop
lar. Culbertson and Bainville. Al
ready it is freely predicted by dis
Interested judges that Wolf Point
viii easily lead as high town. The
two questions remaining to be settled
at the election being whether Wolf
Point can pass the so per cent line
and become the permanent county
seat, and which town will be second,
and a contender in the final election,

EDITOR FRANK REED
LOSES HIS TEMPER
SEARCHLIGHT MAKES A WRY
FACE OVER THE SOURNESS
OF FROID GRAPES

The declaration of The Froid Trib-
une, in behalf of itself, its town and
its community, in favor of Wolf
Point for county seat is the signal for
the editor Of the Culbertson Search
light to get sore and try to say some
thing nasty. Editor Reeds heads his
article WAS He Bought" Then he
copies part of news article from the
Tribune, telling Of the visit of the
Wolf Point delegation, and an edi
torial announcing that the Tribune
will support Wolf Point and giving
the reasons. The editorial referred
to is reprinted in this issue of The
Herald and is plain, straightfor-
ward statement.
indication
But the Searchlight says, EThe
above article indicates that the Wolf
Point County Seat Committee visited
Froid, that they interviewed Editor
Butler, that they purchased not only
advertising space in the Froid Trib-
une, but that they purchased the
editor"
Then it takes up the article in de-
tail in an effort to refute it. Refer
ring to- central location, it says "Ac-
taully this is the first essential. Cul-
bertson is centrally located and Wolf
Point is in the extreme west end Of
the County"
Now the map shows that Culbert-
son is 211a miles from the east coun-
ty line and 81 from the west. Moth
ing very central about Culbertson.
The Culbertson people must have
been telling each other that their
town is in the center Of the county
so long and presistently that they
have come TO believe it. When it
comes right down to measurements,
is scarcely FIVE miles near
er the exact center Of the county
than is Wolf Point. 4
s More Indications
When il comes to judging from
indications, the Searchlght's article
indicates to this paper that Culbert-
son sent a delegation to Froid, some
time ago, which tried its best to buy
space and buy the Tribune, but with
out success, and that would indicate
to any fair-minded person that Mr..
Butler is not for sale. Mr.. Butler
and majority of the people of his
are, for very good rea-
sons, friendly TO Wolf Points candi-
dacy and have been for long time.
They know friend when they see
one. In selling advertising space to
Wolf Point and supporting this town
the Tribune is serving
what its town believes TO be its best

CHAPTER II-Paul Snyder, veteran
head of a highly successful detective
agency, is appealed to by Mrs. Pickett to
endeavor to solve the mystery. On his
staff Snyder has a young man, Elliott

young man will fail in trying to solve the
mystery.
CHAPTER III.-Oakes takes up his res
