Culbertson-Wolf Point

For the second time during the
1920 season the Maroon and White
basketball team plowed their way
to a victory over the C~ulbertson boys
on the latter's home court last Mon
day night. The presence of a large
pillar in the playing space, a radi-
ator under one of the baskets, and
the small size of the court made the
game a little slower and rougher
than it would have been on a large,
open floor.
Captain Butch" Young started
the scoring with a basket from near
the foul line after four minutes of
play. From this point the Wolves
never lost the lead. The first half
ended Is to 4.
Fred Yandell led in the scoring
with eight field goals to his credit.
He made them from every angle.
Young, who usually ranks first in
scoring, was off form in his shoot
ing. However, he brought down the
applause of the house by caging the
ball from the jump following a held
ball.
The Wolves played a five men de-
tense which Culbertson was unable
to solve. Only once did they break
through it for a field goal. Their
remaining bakets were made on long
shots.
This was the last game on the
Wolves regular schedule. The sea
son will be officially closed when the
Northern District Tournament has
passed into history.

Interesting School Items

Miss Henrietta Wilson, teacher in
the fifth grade, asked for a leave of
absence for two weeks because of
illness. Elizabeth Randall has taken
her place. Miss Exile is i'll at the
present writing. Gwendolyn Culver
is in her place.
Henry Woldt has resigned his po-
sition as teacher in the Pioneer
school. Miss Randall will take his
place as soon as Miss Wilson re-
turns.
The teacher problem is becoming
acute. More than 100000 teaching
positions in the public schools of the
United States are either vacant or
filled by teachers below standard,
and the attendance at Normal schools
and teacher-training schools has de-
creased 20 per cent in the last three
years. Over 2,798 teachers drop
ped out of the profession during the
past yea a loss of % per cent.
Teachers salaries have not increased
in proportion to the increased cost
of living, nor as salaries have in
other vocations. Hence, teachers
are continuing to leave the profess
sion for other work. However, there
is one thing worse than a school dis
trict being without a teacher and
that is to have an exceedingly poor
teacher. Bad habits are developed
in the children that may take the
ingenuity of several succeeding good
teachers to eradicate. Worse than
the bad habits started under a weak
teacher, a distaste for school is cul-
tivated which may be over
come.
W@e expect a number Of city sup
erintendents, county superintendent
and members of school boards to be
in Wolf Point on Friday and Satur-
dav of this week. At this time the
question of salaries for school teach
ers in this section will be thorough
ly discussed.
There are schools in which the
spirit that exists leaves little to be
desired. Everybody is happy; every
body is hard at work; work is play.
This is the Wolf Point spirit. 1t is
the spirit that is going to make a
success of our Basketball Tourna-
ment this week.
Chancellor E. c. Elliott announces
the completion of definite plans for

University of Chicago will be the
principal speaker and will address
the conference each day.
High school and 8th grade report
cards were given out Monday after
noon at roll call.

=. Thermometer Scales.

There are several different systems
of dividing the thermometer scale. The
one in common use In all English
speaking countries is the Fahrenheit.
In this the boiling point is 212 de-
grees. and the freezing point 50 de-
grees above zero. In the Centigrade
thermometer, the freezing point is TAX
en- as the. zero. and the boiling point
is reckoned 4sat 100 degrees. It will
thus be seen that the 100 degrees on
the Centigrade scale and the $50 de-
grees (c12 minuss 32) on the Fahren-
heit scale represent the same differ
ence, In temperature namely that be-
sween boiling point and freezing point.

TUFTED PANS|ES
FOR FALL BLOOM

Now is the time 10 start pansies for
fall bloom, and the tufted or Scotch
pansies are the sturdiest for the pur-
nose. Those who admire the pansy
and are unacquainted with the tufted
variety should make its acquaintance.
II is a harder and more resistant
plant than the pansy and has diff
ferent style of growth
The flowers are smaller and cover
The plant. excelling in profusion by
about five to one, the larger variety.
Started now, these plants which are
called tufted. because of their habit of
sending many stems from the central
growth. will start TO bloom this fall,
and If cut back with freezing weather
about half their growth and given a
covering of leaves. will be ready to
start blooming again next spring as
soon as the weather permits them TO
start
They are the finest of the pansy
tribe for bedding. as they will bloom
for some time after the common pansy
has suceumbed to the hot weather.
They are now extensively used in City
parks for groups in the hardy borders
and for beds.
They have the same variety of
color as the pansy with the exception
of the bronze and red" types. The
self or solid yellows, blues, white and
puppies are very fine.
They are making their way slowly
with American gardeners, although
they have reached high development
and have long been favorites with
English gardeners. There are vari-
Gus named varieties, the seed of which
is expensive as flower seeds go, but a
packet of mixed varieties will be de-
light. Owing to the number of stems
developed by each plant. it is an easy
matter to secure a stock of any color
by cuttings or slips which root easily
in wet sand. They do not come true
from seed, so this is the method used
in propagating and maintaining a
stock of the named varieties.
An advantage of the tuftod pansy Is
that it has longer stems than the reg
ular type, the flowers being held well
above the foliage, and it is a better
subject for cutting.

PROOF OF INFALLIBLE
SOMNOLENT MEMORY

Do you know that somewhere in the
ineXplicable recesses of
the brain cells you have a memory
a vast sub-conscious memory not even
remotely connected with the smaller,
conscious one we are always using
And do you know that in that ire
mendous subconsciousnes is a record
Of your entire life the smallest, hap
penings, the most important events,
each elusive emotion, each fleeting
thought in your life?
This is the theory upheld by Maui
rice Maeterlinck, who has thoroughly
investigated the realm of psychical re-
search in his article, "Your Vast Sub
conscious Self" in Hearst's for July.
He claims that an iliterato servant
girl was once heard to recite perfect
ly, while in the hypnotic state, whole
pages of Sanskrit, because at one time
she had once heard them read aloud
1t is rather a startling and unsettling
theory of life and death which Maeter-
linck presents, but one interesting to
an extreme.
