Inrse Flesh as Meat.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec. 14.-Use of
horse flesh as meat was advocated
here today by Professor M. O. Ander-
son, federal meat inspector at the
South St Paul yards.
Speaking before a meeting OF
housewives, Anderson declared horse
steaks were just as good as beef
steaks and said that a market for
horse flesh has already developed.
Anderson said there is practically
an unlimited supply of horse meat.
In Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, the
Dakotas and Nebraska there are
millions OF hor1es running wi:d,' he
said.

WHERE VALUES ARE BEST

Do your shopping in Wolf Point
and save part of your money for
yourself and keep the rest of it in
the community where i has a chance
to come back to you. Cities grow by
producing wealth and keeping 1t at
home.
Wolf Point merchants advertise.
This issue. of The Herald is proof of
it. They have stocks Of goods and
prices worth advertising. An asso-
citation of Williston merchants is do
ing cooperative advertising in IA
surrounding papers but they did not
place in any in Wolf Point. This
city rapidly is becoming a shopping
center and competing with Williston
and Havre for out of town trade.

What Do You Think OF
Herald's Holiday Issue?

Herald readers are asked to please
take special notice of this number.
1t was not intended as a special num-
ber, as all December issues are being
given a Holiday touch but this weeks
number m out just long enough
before Christmas to invite an I'M
usual amount of advertising and
make Holiday features appropriate.
Next issue will no doubt convey the
greeting of many business concerns
as we'll as business getting advertise
ments. It, also, will come out in a
colored cover.
The editors take no small pride in
these Holiday issues and thoroughly
appreciate the patronage received.
Advertising was secured from every
establishment solicited this week, %
new ads, making an 10 page paper
necessary. 1t is fine to have the bust
ness people realize that The Herald
is an advertising medium that brings
business.
An issue like this one makes sew
eral things evident. For instance,
that the Herald shop is well equip
ped with machinery and type. That
the advertisements were composed by
a printer such as is seldom found in
a country shop, Introducing VIM. L.
Taylor and that George Hagen is a
painstaking pressman. That the
Bonnet-Brown and w. N. U. holiday
is very effective in giving
snap, classiness and quality to adj
vertisements and newspaper pages.
The colored covers, for both this
week and next, were printed in the
Herald shop. This week marks a new
nigh point in circulation, not count
ng a few extras being sent out as an
extra measure of service to adver-
New people are dropping in
every day to get on the Herald list.

ACCEPT STANDARD BID
FOR COUNTY PRINTING

At a regular meeting of the board
of county commissioners held last
Monday the bid submitted by the
Standard to do the county printing
for the next two years was consider
ed and finally accepted and the con-
tract awarded.
The old county printing contract
expired November goth and follow
ing the usual custom the board con-
sidered the new contract at the first
regular meeting following the date of
expiration. The handling of the
county printing requires up-to-date
machinery, good workmanship and
the best of service. The Standard
has equipment that will compare ia
vorably with any in this part of the
state and in handling the. county
printing for the past two years has
always tried to give the best Of SER
vice and shall endeavor to do so in
the future.-Poplar Standard, Dec.
10.
Exactly. Another feature of the
"sure thing" political program turns
out just as The Herald predicted.
The Standards bid was accepted.
Why the Standard went to the
trouble of bidding is not clear. No
bids were called for so far as we
heard from here. Of course there
are five other good print shops in the
but of course they had no
light to expect a chance to bid on the
county work. But somebody might

IRISTMAS, both in its ritual and in it's sentiment, is almost
as old as Humanity itself. AS far back as you can go we
find something very like the Yuletide Festivals season
celebration.
About Christmas there is nothing that even approx
mates sectarianism or any kind of mental or social mar
rowness or littleness. Its spirit is as broad as humanity,
and all men of whatever race, creed or geographical status,
are invited to, and are entitled to, take part in its glad
festivities.
Very pitiful is the human being who, in the midst of
