NEW IMPLEMENT TRIED
OUT ON CUSKER FARM

Manager Ben Balerud, of the
Champlin Implement company, and
B. F. Sparrow, special demonstrator,
took one of the new summer tillage
implements out to the Hank Cusker
place Sunday to give it thorough
test. The machine, drawn by four
horses was put to work in summer
fallow ground that had a pretty fair
sprinkling of thistles on it, some of
them foot high.
On account of recent showers the
ground was slightly more moist than
it should have been, but the trial
proved a complete success, neverthe-
less and demonstrated the practica-
bilitv of the weeder for the purpose
for which it is intended. The rotat-
ing rod passed through the soil
about two and a half inches below
the surface, thoroughly uprooting
every weed, throwing clods to the
surface and leaving well pulverized
mulch spread evenly over well pack
ed soil. Mr. Balerud says that Mr..
Cusker thought so well Of the ma
chine that they didn't have to bring
it back to town.

Questions for the People Of Roosevelt County

The past week has brought out
nothing particularly new in the po-
litical campaign. The politicians of
the main line towns are scheming
night and day to head off the Farmer
Labor movement to place the control
Of county affairs in the hands of the
people of the whole county and keep
free from gang rule such as is dying
so hard in Sheridan county.
1t is understood that the East End
clique is Mortified and alarmed at the
stand taken by the West End and set
forth last week by The Herald. All
sorts of propaganda is being used
to create dissention and split the
Wolf Point vote. In the main these
efforts will fail. They cannot con-
vince many that after ignoring and
excluding us so far they will do any
thing for US, il the future, in the way
Of roads or anything else that they
are not compelled to do.
Considering the county as whole
the issue is simple: Shall the people
or the politicians run the county. It
is the Farmer-Labor forces plus Wolf

BABIES AT STATE EAR

One Of the interesting and instruc-
tive features of the Montana State
Fair, September 1918, will be the
child's welfare conference, under the
direction of expert medical authori-

mensions; general physical condition;
condition Of teeth, and condition of
eyes, ears and throat. Department

GREAT POLITICAL
MEETING ON 18th
FARMERS WILL COME FROM a
COUNTIES AND MAKE 1T
BIGGEST RALLY YET

A great Farmer-Labor political
rally and picnic will be held at Wolf
Point next Thursday, August 19.
This is expected to be one Of the
largest gatherings in this part Of the
state during the primary campaign,
and will undoubtedly attract attend
ance from all over Roosevelt county
as we'll as from Valley, McCone and
Sheridan counties.
Governor Frazier of North Dakota
is slated as the principal speaker, and
R. c. Arnold, candidate for lieuten-
ant-governor of Montana, NJ. McCus-
ker of this city, candidate for Con-
gress, and A. w. Stangeland of Plen-
tywood, candidate for district judge,
will also speak. The Wolf Point
band will furnish music during the
afternoon and it is probable that
there will be a dance in the evening.
Local members of the Labor
League are in charge of the details.
The posters say, Bring your lunch,
stay all day and have a good time"
The speaking will be done in the
open air from the band stand. The
plan of making it a regular picnic
by holding it in the woods east of
town was considered but was given
up as impracticable, as it would be
too difficult to get the whole crowd
to go to that location, and much
larger audience for the speakers
will be assured by having it at the
band stand.
The people of the surrounding
country are invited to come to Wolf
Point on this occasion and hear the
issues Of the campaign discussed
from the viewpoint of the farmers
and the laboring men. You are all
welcome in Wolf Point.

CIAYSPUR PEOPLE ARE
CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS

Several of the stockholders of the
Clayspur Oil company have recently
returned from Wyoming where the
company has it's leases, and has a
drill operating. They all feel contl-
dent that the company will soon be
on the producing list. President Lis
terud SAYS that new lease was re-
Gently secured on ground only
quarter of a mile from producing
wells and the company's drill is now
at work on this new ground, and they
feel that there is practically no doubt
but that oil will be struck at a moder-
ate depth.
The first hole spudded in was sunk
to a depth of AGO feet and strong oil
indications were shown, but so much
water encountered that the work
could not continue until the hole is
cased and casing is very scarse and
could not be secured at present, so
the well was temporarily abandoned
but will be sunk deeper at some later
time. The conditions of the new lease
required that the drill be placed on
that Immediately, which was another
reason for leaving the first well.

Point against the towns and the
steerers who have chosen to oppose
and insult the organizations. 1t is
purely local matter with the people
Of county holding its first election.
Do we want to make it possible
for state of affairs to come about
such as exists in the mother county
of Sheridan? We wish that every
one Of our readers knew all the facts
surrounding the Dolan printing deals
and the sguabble over the auditors
office in Sheridan county. They are
enough to convince any fair person.
Do you want justice and honest
county government, or do you want
gang government?
VIII you stand up for your own
community and own candidates, or
are yar to be frightened and
ca5oled mo playing into the enemy
hands?
Vote your conscience and your
judgment, and don't fail to VOTE.
This is only the beginning, the
finish comes in November.

CHAUTAUQUA PLANS
TICKETS NEXT WEEK
COMMITTEE ADOPTS IDEA THAT
INSURES MEETING THE
GUARANTEE

The 1920 Chautauqua guarantee
committee, of which O. G. johnson
is the chairman, held a meeting Tues
dav forenoon with the travelling or
ganizer representing the Ellison
White system present, and decided
on the method and time for selling
the required quota of season tickets.
The sale will begin next Monday,
August 16. Each member of the
committee will take an equal share
of the quota of tickets and become
responsible for their sale or the a.
mount they represent. In this way
there will be no question about the
guarantee being made up, and 1T is
probable that an oversale can be re-
allied this year which will do away
with the annoyance of deficit IN
the expense fund, which is the a
mount that must be raised to meet
tie expense of advertising, placing
seats in the tent, paying lumber,
dray and light bills, etc.
This issue of The Herald carries
with it an illustrated eight page sup
plement, giving the programs for the
six days and fully describing each
feature. 1t certainly looks as II
Chautauqua would be better than
ever, which means that it is some
thing for our citizens to look for
ward to, something of real value,
something that will carry us out OF
the hunl-drum routine of work-a-day
life.
People should be glad to patronlze
Cbautauqua as something that gives
them increased value at the same
reasonable price. Chautauqua tick
cts have not raised. Twelve splendid
programs are offered for only 500
nlus the war tax of 25 cents. Stud
ents' tickets are $1.65, children's
tickets, s1.10. Be ready to buy your
season tickets, and buy cheerfully
when the members of the committee
approach you next Monday.
The tent will be located at the
same place, just north Of the Pres
byterian church.

MERCHANTS WANT
night WATCHMAN

At a meeting of the Merchants
Association held at the Fad clothing
store last Friday evening, the advis-
ability of the merchants of the town
employing a night watchman was
considered, it being held that the re-
cent robbery of stores made this a
matter that should not be neglected.
A committee, made up of Messrs.
Huxsol, Kelly and Kruger, was nam
ed to go before the city council and
see what could be done in the way of
cooperating in the expense of en-
ploying watchman.
Advertising the Wolf Point Com
munity Fair was discussed and the
association voted to recommend that
the business houses of the city de-
vote a part of their advertising space
in the local paper from now until
the dates of the fair to boosting the
fair and urging everybody to patron
ize it.
The matter of closing business
places during the speaking at the big
Nonpartisan and Labor League
meeting to be held here August 10
was left to the standing committee
that controls all matters pertaining
to closing. 1t is thought that there
is no question but what business pla-
ces will be closed from 2 o'clock on
during the speaking.

Because the Geyser Electric Washer is the
smallest efficient washer made, don't get
the idea that it hasn't large capacity. 1t

as the larger machines. The Geyser was
designed to use every inch of the tank-not
just a third or half. Consequently the

FOR YEAR FORMED
COMMANDER GALRRAlTH DIS
cUssEs INSTRUMENTATION
FOR COMING YEAR.
US. MUST BE UNITED NATION
One of Most Important Functions Of
Legion Is Work Among the lmmIy
arante-America Must Not
Be Melting Pot.

Philadelphia.-Th policy of the
American Legion for the coming year
has been made public here, as out
lined in an address by Frederick w
Galbraith, national commander of the
Legion, at dinner given in his honor
by The officers of The local posts Of
the Legion. The first object of the
Legion, said Commander Galbraith,
was assistance and a square deal for
all disabled men. In outlining the
position of the Legion on the bonus
bill now before congress, he said
that disabled men and their depend.
ents must be provided for immedi
ately
1--WE believe that all ex-seryice men
should receive compensation for the
sacrifices made by them, but those
who are in dire need must first be
taken care Of" he said.
The Legion is in favor of a bill
which will be presented to the next
congress providing for the consoli,
dation of the war risk insurance bu,
reau, the public health bureau and
the board of vocational education.
Such a consolidation" said Mr.
Galbraith, will do away with the UNI
necessary delay that now attends ev
cry request for compensation and as
sistance.
"One of the most important func
tons Of the Legion he added. is
American ization work among immi
grants. We asked permission to serd
Representatives of the Legion to talk
to the immigrants before they left
Ellis Island. Assistant Secretary OF
Labor Post, for reasons best known
to himself, refused to allow us tC
do this, but we must see to it that
America ceases to be the melting pot
of nations and becomes one united
nation"
