DEMENTED MAN
THREATENS GIRLS

Many reports are heard of nys-
terious man who seeks to entice small
girls into secluded places and in sew
eral instances, he is said to have at
tually attacked girls or attempted to
take liberties with them. He appear
ed to have a premediated plan. He
would tell children that he had lost
a dog, offer them money to help him
find it. In other cases he claimed
that it was red-headed parrot he
had lost. He is described as a man
weighing about 135 or 140, of sickly
He Wore gray mack
inaw and black slouch hat. The
police and others made a thorough
search for him last Friday night, but
he was not found and has not been
seen since.
It is believed that the nan is de-
which renders him even
more dangerous, and it would be well
for parents to take every precaution
as he might return to this locality at
any time. He is thought to have
boarded No. 3 Friday night.

ELMER JOHNSON HAS
HEAVY fire Loss

Elmer Johnson, proprietor of the
Wolf Point Heating and Plumbing
company, suffered the loss of his
Glaraow shop by fire last week. Mr..
Johnson had an $11, 900 stock and
owned part of the building and car
ried $4,000 insurance. He puts his
net loss at fully $1,000. 1t appears
that the fire must have started from
the electric wires in the attic of the
building. The following account is
clipped from the Courier-News of
Glasgow:
IAN early morning fire, which had
gained considerable headway before
detection, completely destroyed the
plumbing establishment of Elmer
Johnson at the corner of Main Street
on Wednesday last.
Starting, more than likely from
fective electric wiring in the ceiling
of the main part of the shop, the fire
gained rapid headway, spreading to
every part of, the building before it
was noticed by nearby residents. The
local department did excellent work
in confining the blaze to the one
structure, completing their task in
the course of a little more than an
hour.
"The contents of the building and
the structure itself are a total loss.
Mr.. Johnson estimates his loss at
$11, 900, and of this amount there
is but $4,000 covered by insurance.
"The Johnson Plumbing, Heating
and Sheet Metal Works will be again
open for business in the course of
ten days at the office room which was
formerly the old post office stand on
Main street.

BASKET BALL OFFERED
FOR SELLING re. SEALS

At meeting of the Civic League
Wednesday evening, it was decided
to offer an $500 basket ball to the
grade selling the most Red Cross
Christmas seals. Last year the Lea
que framed picture for the grade
selling the greatest number of seals.
The second grade won this prize, sel-
ling 1884 seals. 1t is expected that
there will be considerable rivalry be-
tween the grades to win the basket
ball. The 5th grade recently won
the basket ball offered by the school
to the grade selling the most tags.
The funds derived from the sale
of the Red Cross Christmas seals go
to help fight tuberculosis. 90 per
cent Of the amount is kept for use
in the state ard 10 per cent goes
into the national fund. Put Christ
mas seal OH every package you send
out this year. The few cents spent
by each person will not be felt, but
the total amount spent by everyone
in the state will means the saving of
many lives during the coming year.
Only three counties in the state had
no deaths from tuberculosis last year
and many Of the people who died
might have been saved if the anti
association had had
more money to work with.

the Wolf Point high school football
team defeated the Poplar team 25 to
6. The day was ideal. Rooters were
out in force Our school band fur
nished the music. In the first half
neither side seemed to have the ad-
vantage, although the Wolves threat
ened Poplar's goal most of the time.
After a short period of playing the
Wolves, thru a series of plunges and
end runs put the ball over and kick
ed goal. The score was to 0.
Poplar came back with rush and
threatened our goal. Foster was
forced to punt. Mitchell caught it
and ran thirty yards for touch
down. He failed to kick goal. The

MUSIC IMPORTANT
Community FORCE
MRS. SLACK, OF DODSON, SAYS
MORE ATTENTION SHOULD
BE PAID TO MUSIC

"Music in America has too long
been on nartistic basis" said Mrs.
S. Slack, of Dodson, discussing "Mu-
sic as Factor in Community Life"
at the district club convention here
last week. Her paper, in part, fol-
lows:
One of the first questions General
Pershing asked after observing the
French soldiers in camp was, ''Why
don't the American boys sing as the
French boys do?" This question has
in part awakened America. For four
hundred years we have been silent
as to song. But now has come the
awakening. That indescribable, un-
known voice which demands some
thing higher and better has asked for
songs and community singing has
sprung into life. 1t matters not from
whence it sprang, but we know it is
here and here to stay.
Community Singing New
Community chorus work was start
ed by Harry Barnhart in Rochester,
New York, about four years ago. He
worked in the Carnegie steel plant
and noticed that men who sang at
their work had the best results. He
had an innate love of music, and lat
er studied it, coming to believe that
it was for everybody to create, not
just to be listened to. At one time
Barnhart attended mediocre con-
cert and became aware of his own
lack of interest and the inattention
of the audience, and thought how
much more these same people would
enjoy a concert of their own making
He asked permission to use the opera
house and at the next concert an ex-
mechanic sang and the audience join
ed in. "Shall we do this again?" he
asked, and 200 expressed their will
lingness by standing. This was the
and from there the move
ment has spread to every corner of
the United States, even to places
where skeptics said, 1--WE have no
spirit here"
NJ. j. Vernes, a French manufac-
5urer and fnancier, believes the
French people to be falling behind
n industrial efficiency because they

PROGRESS With
HIGHWAY PROJECT
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE HOLDS
MEETING AT CHINOOK
DISCUSS LEGISLATION

The meeting of the directors of the
Theodore Roosevelt Memorial High
Association, representing the mon
tana State section of that institution.
met in conference at Hotel Chinook
in Chinook on Wednesday, November
18th, with most of the board in at
tendance
1t was at this time that the work
for the ensuing year was mapped out,
and plans laid for the handling of
those matters so vitally important to
the success of this highway project
in Montana. Perhaps the most I'M
portant topic up for discussion be-
fore the board was the possibility of
getting the Roosevelt Pass opened up
the coming year, or at least the get
ting of the work we'll started.
1t will be remembered that the
Roosevelt Pass is that strip of land
about 81 miles in length, lying be-
tween Glacier Park station and Bel
ton, on the continental divide. 1t is
estimated by some that this strip OF
road can be opened up for an approx
innate expenditure of 100000. The
directors hope to be successful in
having arrangements completed IN
order that work be started on this
road early in the spring of 1921.
hxyf tho
board was the proposed Guide Book
and Roosevelt Highway Descriptive
booklet to be issued by the Montana
organization. This matter was tabled
to be considered at the regular an
nual meeting.
L. E. Jones, secretary of the asso-
citation was elected delegate for the
Montana membership to act at the
regular annual meeting of the ma
tional board of directors of the asso-
citation to be held in Duluth on Mon
day, November %.
Prior to the meeting of the High /
way board the board of directors of |
the Northern Montana Development |
Association convened and took def
mite and decided action on several
state matters which have
direct bearing upon the future well
fare of the Northern part of the
state.
1t was agreed that the regular an
nual meeting of the membership of
the association be held in the city of
Havre on December 14th, and an
urgent invitation was extended to all
of the members of the 18th Legisla-
tive Assembly within the territory of
the association to be present at this
meeting.
Different legislative topics were
brought up for discussion, and owing
to the vital nature of certain mat |
ters now before the state it was sug-
gested that the secretary prepare a

Where Do They Find the Time?

The pastor of Calvary Baptist
church in New York City testifies
before Il United States jury of his
experiences with vice conditions in
that city, that they are worse than
in the days of the red light district,
that women ply their immoral trade
under the guise of. responsibility, as
sociating freely with the respecta =
BILE; that liquor is easy to obtain and
that he so obtained it. Considering
the ease with which he says he was
able to procure liquor at two dollars
per drink in we'll known and well pa
tronized resorts one wonders where
the Federal authorities find time to
attack the use of liquor for cooking
purposes and to smell out Il teapot
still in Skiddlewink' cellar.
