The crowd showed that they were
in sympathy with the work of the
committee by frequent applause.
While waiting for the crowd to gath
er the band treated the assembly to
several inspiring selections.
Candidates Speak
Two candidates on the Farmer
Labor ticket, Miss Lula M. Cooke, of
Volt and C. w. Hamblin, of this city,
were present and were called on by
the chairman. Both responded with
brief talks that were we'll put and
well received. Both expressed conf
dence in the success of both the tick
ct and Wolf Point
The list was passed for signers to
go on the special to Froid Saturday
and many names were added to the
long list. The crowd went
home feeling that everything was go
ing in splendid style an dthat the
only thing remaining to make victory
for the ticket and town sure was to
keep fighting courageously until the
day of election.

FIRE PREVENTION
DAY IS OBSERVED
DEPARTMENT MAKES RECORD
RUN WITH BIG TRUCK
SAFETY FIRST SLOGAN

Last Saturday, Fire Prevention
Day, Charlie Smiths crew responded
to a false alarm just by way of cal
ling attention to the day and giving
an exhibition of speed and efficiency.
The fremen were at the fire station
but did not know Just exactly when
the signal would be sounded. The
whistle blew few minutes after ten
and the big truck Numbered down the
alley between Main and Benton
streets between third and second,
connected to hydrant just east of
The Herald office and laid hose to
the band stand.
Watches held on the performance
caught the time, from the first sound
of the siren to the signal by assis-
tant chief Klinkhammer "ready for
water" as two minutes, as nearly as
could be caught by ar ordinary
watch; and that is certainly fast
enough to suit anybody. Wolf Point
has a fire department that spells eff
fciency with capital letters.
The First National Bank observed
Fire Prevention Day in most prac-
teal manner by distributing attrac-
tive folders, printed in black and red,
giving pithy argument for care to-
ward fire prevention and mentioning
the way in which preventable fires
may be avoided.
While there are still many fire haz-
ards about the town that should be
done away with numerous good ef-
fects OF the Mayors proclamation
and the fire n1arshals efforts are
noticeable. Many people are burn
ng their rubbish and weeds. Let's

They buy up newspaper at one place, and promise

BR0CKTON GROWS
PLANS fine SCHOOL
STANDARD ADDS LOCAL PAPER
TO ITS LIST-SEEKS TO
CONTROL TOWN

Brockton, the last candidate to en-
ter the race for county seat is enjoy
ing fourishing growth. Contractor
E. M. Pray has just finished fine
30x50 store building for Storm Bros.
and considerable other building is
contemplated.
The school board has decided to
defer plans for a splendid, modern
school building until next year when.
on account of the increased assessed
valuation of the district they will be
able to float a larger issue of bonds
and build a larger and better build
ing than was contemplated this year.
Brockton bases her claims to pref
erence for county seat largely on her
location which is undeniably near
er the center of the county than any
other town. If Poplar should decide
that her chances are not good enough
to justify continuing the campaign
and should withdraw in favor of
Brockton, that town would at once
become formidable contender in
the race.
The last issue of the Culbertson
Searchlight says:
3'The Brockton Bulletin was sold
out last Saturday to Jerome & Fraw-
ley, proprietors of the Poplar Stan
dard. These gentlemen now own and |
control three papers in this county, |
the third one being the Roosevelt !
County Review of Mondak"
Of course it is very shrewd politics
when concern like Jerome & Fraw-
ley who are close to the big interests
and supplied with unlimited funds
can step out and buy a newspaper
wherever they feel that they can do
their favorities some good. For the
rest of the campaign it will not be
if the Bulletin endeavors
to weaken the Brockton campaign by
a luke-warm attitude toward the
Town. There is such thing as do

when large number of his neighbors
dropped in on Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson
bringing with them donations of
wheat that totaled about $50 bu-
shells. The donations of two neigh
bors were in the form of stacks of
straw and others gave cash amont-
ing to $50.
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson feel the de-
gree of gratitude that such gener-
osity under such circumstances nat
urally calls forth. Mr.. Johnson cal
led at the Herald Office yesterday and
requested that the deep and lasting
appreciation of himself and Mrs.
Johnson be conveyed through these
columns to his kind neighbors and
true friends.

Mr. Johnson's whole crop. His sea-
sons work, his money for winter
needs and the straw for his livestock
vanished in the space of few min
utes.
Mr.. Johnson went corageously to
work with threshing crew to earn
what he could during the working
season, but felt that he would likely
be up against it for both food and
feed The whole situation looked
different after last Saturday night

pagsnda, Heed None of 1t
Stick and Win

The rally Tuesday night at the
Coliseum brought out several hun.
dred enthusiastic voters about equal
ly divided between men and women.
The chief objects of the meeting were
to let voters know the various phases
of the county seat and county candi-
date campaign up to the present; the
problems that have to be met at this
end of the county and also at the
other end and to arouse enthusiasm
for the big special train to be run
Saturday.
H. B. Tyson presided with his
usual ability and kept things going
with genuine Wolf Point snap. The
speakers were John Cook, 0. t. Stem
nes and Bert Switzer. Mr. Cook ex-
planned the political stand of this
community, why we had taken it
and why it was the logical as well as
the just position for Wolf Point to
take. He said that Wolf Point, in
common with the farmers had been
ignored by the county political clique
and that it was the most natural
thing for Wolf Point and the farmers
to band together to get justice and
bring the government of the county
into the hands of the people.
With the Majority
He said that the farmers had
plenty of real grievances and cited
the declining price of wheat at the
season when farmers are forced to
sell, as proof. He said that the
name "bolshevik" given to every
Wolf Pointer who ventures into the
east end of the county need worry /
us not at all. The term tbolshevik" Z
he was informed meant ''the majori
ty" and with the majority was where
Wolf Point would be found when the
returns were footed up and that was
what made the towns east of here
SO bitter against Wolf Point and
against the farmers. He counseled
Ell to stand by their guns, vote solid
IL with our friends and elect a set
Of commissioners and officials who
viii treat all parts of the country
fairly and without favoritism.
Mr.. Stennes outlined some of the
work that remained to be done in
this end Of the county and gave
warning of the propaganda that IS
being industriously circulated against
MS, based on misrepresentation and
intended to create distrust and pre-
iudice. He did not believe that this
would get far with the sensible peo-
ple of the country but said it is well ;
10 be on our guard both as to in {
auences in the country and in town. !
Froid Folks With Us +

stood in the east end, of the county, s
PARTICULARLY in the Froid district. He +

Transporting Pupils

i The writer made a careful check
of the rural situation last week. Con-
sidering the many difficulties, we are
more than pleased with the work be-
ing done in the rural schools. Most
of our schools have a heavy enroll
ment as compared to other years.
This is due to the fact that we have
doubled number of schools. This
has been possible thru the generosity
of our school board. They are allow
ing transportation for the children
who have too far to walk. At num-
ber of our schools practically all of
the children are being transported.
This is true at the Dry Fork and the
| Liberty schools. The Dry Fork has
an enrolment of IL while the Liber-
ty has "a. The Liberty expects to
have "a as soon as all of the child
ren from the Heinrich begin to come.
The French school has 16 while the
Krohn has -. The Box Elder has 4,
but more will attend as soon as we
can arrange for transportation. The
children from the Wambrodt school
are being brought TO town. The
Treeby children are being hauled to
Dry Fork. The Pioneer children are
going to Wide Awake.
The Board is offering 60c per day
to help pay the board of isolated
who can be brought to town.
A number have taken advantage of
this generous offer. We have six
children around the Pershing school
who are not cared for at the present
writing. There are also few isolat-
ed children who find it impossible to
some to town.
The rural school situation has been
difficult one to solve. The shortage
