LEGION PLANNING
COMMUNITY PICNIC

At a meeting of the executive
committees of the American Legion
and the Legion Auxiliary held at Ar
lie Foor's Office Monday evening
plans were talked of for a number
of social good times to take place
during the summer. Next Wednes-
day evening, June %, the Legion
and Auxiliary plan to give a joint
program which will be the beginning
of number of such affairs.
On June 27 big picnic has been
planned by the Legion with the CO.
operation of the Commercial club
and the Legion auxiliary. The exact
location of the picnic has not yet
been decided upon, but committee
will look over the grounds and Sc
lect site. 1t is planned to have
this close enough to the city so that
autos which run back and forth be-
tween town and the picnic grounds
can make several trips. This will be
community affair to which the
whole town and as many of the
country people who can attend and
desire to attend are cordially invited.
There will be basket lunch and it
is suggested that each woman pre-
pare enough food for one more than
her immediate family and in that
way there will be great plenty for
everyone. Announcement as to the
place will appear in next weeks is
sue. Besides the eats there will
probably be a program of sports. A
big get-together picnic is mighty
fine thing, and everyone should plan
to attend.

SIREN SOUNDS CURFEW

Concerning the blowing of the
fire siren as the nine o'clock curfew
warning to youngsters, Fire Chief
c. L. Smith wishes to explain that
the substituting of the siren for the
bell was carefully considered before
the change was made and serves sew
eral good purposes. 1t can be heard
in all parts of town, blowing it every
day insures that the siren is in work
ing order for use in case of fire and,
while the one long blast that sounds
the warning cannot deceive anyone
into thinking there is fire, it brings
the thought of fire to mind and aids
the campaign that is being carried
on everywhere to encourage FIRE pre-
vention measures. Chief says that
whistles are being used in place of
bells in most all cities on account OF
their carrying qualities.

F. J. CHASE RESIGNS
AS COUNTY AGENT

F. J. Chase has resigned his posi-
ton as county agent to accept po-
sition as farm demonstrator for the
agricultural college of Colorado.
The position is a step upward in ag-
ricultural work and pays better
salary than his present position and
Mr.. Chase feels that he cannot af-
ford to turn it down, much as he
would like to continue with the farm
Bureau of Roosevelt county. He
will leave about July 1st.
The news will be received with
much regret by people all over the
county. Mr.. Chase is an earnest,
conscientious worker, who gets close
to the farmers and holds their conf
dence. The state position in Colo
rado comes as result of an aplli-
cation made by Mr. Chase just after
he returned from service in France
over year ago.

TWO FARM PICNICS

"GOV." MCDOWELL, STATE CLUB
LEADER TAYLOR AND co.
ACT. CHASE SPEAKERS

Contrary to its reputation, rain
didn't hurt the farmers picnics held
at Dry Fork Monday and at the
French schoolhouse Tuesday. On
the other hand the splendid rains of
the days just preceding these dates
put the farmers in just the frame of
mind for celebrating.
At the Dry Fork schoolhouse, the
several communities surrounding
there gathered for the first picnic
planned by the Farm Bureau. The
attendance was fairly good, but not
as large as it would have been later
when the farmers had their work
completed. County Agent Chase had
expected to have James Griffin of
Chinook for the principal speaker,
but work in another part of the
state prevented Mr.. Griffin coming.
Through q piece 0f s0e& fortune
Lieutenant Governor w. w. Nc

REAL WILD WEST STUFF
EPISODE" NUMBER ONE

Last Saturday four ranchers from
across the Missouri south of Oswe-
go came to Wolf Point. On the
part of one the coming was entirely
involutary. The complete incident,
pictured and described in full detail
would be wild and thrilling enough
for an episode in movie serial. Ac-
cording to Judge Gordon and Dep
uty Sheriff Kellogg, three of the
men, ]. F. Gardner, Bruce Wilson
and John H. Sloff brought the fourth
man, Arthur Calder, in captive, hav-
ing roped him, dragged him con-
siderable distance and then hog-tied
him and brought him to Wolf Point
to be confined in Jail. The captors
allege that Calder was taken in the
act of leading a stolen horse on
which his brand had been placed. 1t
is said that Calder showed evidence
of having been severely treated, be-
ing bruised, scratched and rope
burnt. Mrs. Calder followed the
quartet into town and added to the
tragic side of the affair.
Stock Inspector J. A. Miller is
said to have stated he was sure that
Calder was the righful owner of the
horse in question. Sheriff Johnson
and deputy sheriff Floyd Davis came
from Circle and took the four men
back to that place where the courts
and lawyers will endeavor to deter
mine the facts.

SUGAR BEET SEED

Secretary Foor, of the Commercial
Club, wishes to make it known that
he has ten pounds of sugar beet seed
to give out to farmers who care to
try them out. 1t would be interest

make excellent feed for live stock,
especially cows, and the planting
will be well worth while for anyone
who has the time and the ground.

Wolf Point Shrine Club Members In
Indian Garb Set The Pace
For Good Time

Eight big Shriners' special passed
through Wolf Point this week on
their way to Portland, Oregon, and
the local Shrine Club has been kept
busy letting the excursionists know
that this is Wolf Point, Montana.
Yesterday evening between six
and seven special from Buffalo,
New York, representing Ishmailia
Temple, made a short stop. Local
Shriners to the number of about a
dozen dressed in genuine Indian cos
tunes and led by Braves Moore and
Rice made a raid on the fasteners
and whooped things up in Western
style. Bad looking guns loaded with
blanks, added to the noise, but the
most formidable weapon used was
colored paint with which the faces
of the locals were highly decorated,
and which was generously passed out
to the visitors and applied TO their
faces. The excursionists took it all
in good part and joined in the fun.
Local Eastern Stars and hundreds OF
other citizens were at the depot. To
take with them as a souvenir, a pic
ture was presented which was paint
ed especially for the occasion by
Woodley. 1t showed venerable old
buffalo such as roamed our hills 40
years ago having tough time with
