Gamma began to weaken. The Bit
ter Root increased the pressure and
won. In the girls contest a similar
result was obtained in a similar way.
Each side had a mass of roofing sup
porters. The 5O-yd dash and the
100-yd dash were close races. The
leap frog race was won by a Delta
Gamma team. Two of the girls had
a wrestling match which was called
a draw. Lunch of sandwiches, pic
kles, cake, ice cream and lemonade
(mostly lemon) was then served.
The students returned a tired but
happy body. Cecilia Jacobs still
fails to understand why a strike
should be called when she didn't
strike at the ball. Phoebe Chase
thought she ought to go to second
to coach a runner When we started
for home, Robert Jelley was still
wondering who got the most ice
cream cones. Beatrice Culver show
ed the most of us the easiest way to
get across a dam. Edwin Erickson

County Exhibit
The exhibit held at C~ulbertson last
Saturday was the first of its kind in
Roosevelt county and the best we
have ever seen in this section. Supt.
Wood of Culbertson and County
Supt. McFarlan of Mondak did much
hard work to make the even success
full. Supt. Wood was given strong
support by the Commercial Club of
Culbertson. Four beautiful cups
presented by the club.
Wolf Point went down with a
delegation in the State Club
contests. We won first in the Sew
ing Club A contest and first in the
Quick Bread contest. We lost the

TIE BREAK HAS COME

Judging from the news columns
of the daiies the long hoped foi
break in prices of living commodities
has come. A wave of price reduc-
tions is said to be sweeping over the
country, affecting many lines from
groceries to automobiles. # this is
true, and if the downward turn in
prices proves permanent, it viii have
a marked effect for good on social
and industrial conditions.
The cause of this decline is not
easy to explain, in the face of re
peated predictions, sent out from
eastern commercial centers, for con
tinued high and still higher prices.
1t is probable that a falling off in
sales at the factories, mills and
brokers' storehouses was one of the
big factors. Part of the public is
too hard up to keep on buying the
expensive things they have been buy
ing for two or three years, and part
of the rest Of the public has come to
see the wisdom of economizing in
times like these-eating plain food,
wearing old clothes, and doing with
out some of their usual luxuries.
This is probably having its effect;
production has caught up with con-
sumption; and where profteers were
getting in their work they see that
the jig is up.
So far as the small town retailer
is concerned, he is only too glad to
reduce prices as 0 as he sees his
way clear to do so. The price de-
cline may be only a temporary af-
fair but we believe that continued
economy and careful buying will
keep it going in the right direction.

INDIAN SCHOOL TO
HOLD EXERCISES

Commencement exercises will be
held at the Indian Industrial school
at Oldtown next Wednesday and
Thursday, May 26 and 27. An elab-
crate program has been prepared,
and without doubt the exercises will
be attended by a large number Of
people as in the past.
On Wednesday at 10 o'clock there
will be a school exhibit showing the
work done by the students this past
year. Wednesday evening a cantata
will be given. The final program
will take place Thursday morning at
10 o'clock. A number of Indian pu-
pills will take part in this program of
songs, dialogues, ETC., after which
there will be the presentation of re-
wards. It is expected that there will
be a number of Indians who will at
tend from other parts of the reser-
walton.

The last two weeks of school are
being filled with many events. On
Monday evening the Juniors enter
tanned the members of the Senior
Glass and the High School faculty.
The gym was beautifully decorated
in the class colors. The decorations
consisted of butterflies and a large
May pole with radiating streamers.
The Liberty orchestra furnished the
music for dancing from 9 to IL 80.
Delicious punch was served. At
II 80 the party went to Stephens
Cafe where lunch was served. This
event was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Picnic on the Creek
On Tuesday afternoon the two
literary societies, Delta Gamma and
Bitter Root had a picnic out on Wolf
Creek. A number of cars helped out
on the long walk. The Delta Gammas
were entertaining. A number of
youngsters took to the water like
ducks-they weren't on the bank
five minutes before they fell in. A
sheltered spot was selected. Here
a baseball diamond was marked out.
The two girls teams crossed bats.
The game was very close. Four inn
ings were played. The Bitter Roots
made a hard fight but weakened at
critical moments. The final score
was IA to II in favor of the Delta
Gammas. Olga McQuigg and Mona
Solberg were the battery for the
Bitter Roots. Mabel Gardner and
Phoebe Chase were the Delta Gamma
main spokes. This game was follow
ed by a four-inning game between
the boys. The Delta Gamma won
again 10 to 6. The batteries were:
Delta Gammas, Judson Quackenbush
and William Randall; Bitter Roots,
John Randall and Marlyn Young.
Sarah Reeve won the prize in the
baseball throw. The rooster fight
was won by Marlyn Young, who up
set VIM. Randall. The boys inter
society tug-of-war beat any we have
ever seen anywhere. For fully five
minutes the center mark was still.
Gradually the Delta Gamma gained
and almost won. The Bitter Root
took a deep breath and dug in. They
heaved a little more and the Delta

tenths of a point. We had few en-
tries for the cups. Our exhibit was
general and was not taken down for
the purpose of competing for prizes.
However, at that we won 16 points
in the primary section, twelve in the
upper grade section and 6 in the
high school section. CuIberson had
the best prize point winning exhibit
in the general exhibit. Poplar came
second and ours third. The cups are
given for m year. A school must
win a cup three times in order to
keep it. Another year we shall ar
range our exhibit to gain points. The
Gray school, north of Poplar, won a
silver cup, Poplar got one and Gull
bertson took two.

The Pale Western
CutWOrm

(From the May Farm Bureau News)
No insect of recent years has
proved to be as serious a pest of
grain in northern Montana as the
Pale Western Cutworm, which caus-
ed extensive injury in this section
during the past three years, accord
ing to A. L. Strand of the Montana
Experiment Station, who is making
an examination of fields in the nor
thern district to determine if posi-
BILE what may be expected from this
pest during the season of 1920.
This cutworm, differing from the
more common species in that it
feeds exclusively beneath the sur
face Of the ground, was first known
in the southern part of Alberta,
where, in 1912, close to $4,000 acres
of grain were totally destroyed.
Since 1915, when it commenced its
activity in Teton county, it has been
the cause Of immense losses through
out northern Montana, with the
greatest losses sustained during the
last three years.
Insect parasites have always been
the chief reason for the periodic
abundance and then the sudden dis
appearance of most insect pests. An
increase in the pest is accompanied
by a much greater increase in the
insect parasites, which then hold the
destructive insect in check. How
ever, this Pale Western Cutworm
has been found to be practically i'm
mune from such parasites, probably
explained by its remaining at all
times beneath the surface of the
ground where it feeds on the tender
lower part of the stems and thereby
not subjecting itself to attack by
parasitic insects.
Consequently birds, principally if
not entirely the small horned lark,
have been observed to be the chief
natural check on this particular pest.
Thousands of small excavations
made by the birds in digging out the
worms were a commo sight through
much of the cutworm infested terri
tory. However loyal the work of the
birds, it is believed that their efforts
were not sufficient to alleviate much
damage this season. The moths, or
parents of the worms, which appear
during the latter part of August, are
known to have emerged in consider
able numbers and when it is consid-
cred that each female deposits from
300 to 400 eggs the possibility of
this insect maintaining itself in the
fields can be readily appreciated.
Experiments, both in Canada and
Montana, designed toward control of
this pest, have proved to be only
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1920-05-20

moderately successful. By seeding
into the ground, bran poisoned with
Paris green and made attractive to
the worms by the addition of mo-
lasses mixed with water and salt,
which mixture is dried out before be-
ing run through the drill, has given
fair results. Small patches where
the worms are abundant can be
treated in this manner and given
some protection, but the cost of la
Dor and materials makes it imprac-
ticable on large acreages. The
length of time the worms remain ac-
tive, from the last of April to the
middle of June, is a feature in the
habits Of this species which makes
it a greater problem and adds to the

prove a decided benefit but it IS not

SCHOOL ADVANCEMENT

Roosevelt county has reason to be
proud of its schools. The Commence
ment exercises for SO 8th grade
graduates, held here Wednesday,
must have been a revelation to those
who have not given attention to such
matters. The occasion made a splen-
did showing for the various schools
representation the students and
for the officers. The education that
is put within reach of the child to-
day, through the public schools, is
far in advance of a few years ago.
Considering the subject of music
alone, Wednesdays program proves
this point. Such features as Gull
bertson's boys quartet, Poplar's tai
ented s%oloist, representing its school
band, and Wolf Points school band,
were very seldom, if ever, found on
commencement programs Is years
ago. Wolf Point should be very
proud of it's new school band and
very appreciatiye to the leader, Mr..
Wright.

TRULY AN AWFUL THOUGHT
Small Girl Feared She Had Somewhat
Overdone Matter OF Praying FOR
Baby Brother.

The little girl came home to her
mamma very much disturbed because
little Susie, her neighbor, had a new
baby brother to play with, while she.
herself, was very lonely. Her mother
comforted her and told her to ask God
TO send her little brother, too. So
the child began to pray for a little
brother, and occasionally got impa-
tient; but her mother told her to keep
on praying and perhaps her prayer
would be answered some day.
One day she was called into the
mothers room, and her delight knew
no bounds when the nurse took wee
thing up from the mothers side and
laid it in her arms. But moment
later, when the nurse picked up an
other bit of humanity, the child al
most dropped the one she was holding,
and a startled expression came into
her face as she said:
"Oh. mama is God going to answer
all those prayers that prayed?''
