CLEAN MILK OR NO
PERMIT, T,NEW RULE
Inspector Institutes System
to Insure City Wholesome
Supply
MAKES PLANS NOW
FOR HOT WEATHER

A method he believes will insure
clean milk has been put into effect by
David Hollett, city milk inspector.
Dealers whose product has been un-
satisfactory VIII be granted only tenn
porary permits TO- the first month OF
1920 If their product shows sufficient
Improvement by February I. the usu1l
yearly permit will be issued. If their
supplies continue 10 be inferior. the
milk will be barred from the market.
Inspector Hollett, in his report for
the week ending December 81. pre-
sented 10 City Council last night. ex-
pressed the hope that the new regula-
Tons governing the sale Of milk in
Wilmington will be put into effect long
before the warm weather starts. The
report was as follows:

along the same lines as heretofore, and
while additional diseased cows are be-
ing found every few days It Is pleas
ure to report that in one or two in
stances the herds have been found TO
be in almost perfect physical condition.
In fact. with only few small changes
In methods some OF the milk now being
sold in Wilmington could be classed
as certified milk.
However, the bulk OF the milk is not
OF this class and Will not be Of safe
grade until the necessary changes are
made in the milk ordinance. II is hoped
that the new regulations can be in
effect for a sufficient length of time be-
fore warm weather so that all the deal
ers will have necessary changes made
so that their product will stand the
test during the warm spring days.
Attention Is again called to the fact
that any person VINO is shipping milk
to Wilmington may have his herd test
ed for tuberculosis absolutely free Of
charge II he will make application TO
the milk inspector for the services Of
q veterinarian.
"All milk permits expire on December
81, and any dealer VINO sells milk in the
city of Wilmington after that datD with
out permit for the year 1920 will Je
liable to prosecution. In the case OF
dealers who have bean selling milk OF
inferior quality temporary permits for
one month only will be granted and
on the first OF February permits for
the following year Will be granted to
those dealers who have mad the nee
essary Improvements. Supplies that
continue TO be inferior must be with
drawn by February 4.

SOUTH SIDE FOLKS
PICNIC CELEBRATION

About 500 people gathered at the
Mus schoolhouse last Saturday to
enjoy the celebration picnic gotten
up by the Progressive Farmers Club
of Sand Creek. Good preparation
had been made by providing a bow
cry with roof of boughs to make
shade. There was a fine basket din
ner served community style from
which plenty was left for another
meal in the evening.
There were we'll stocked stands
where ice cream and cold drinks were
dispensed. A program of races and
other athletic stunts made good fun
for everybody. Funds amounting to
over $25 were collected to pay prizes
to the winners. The nine inning
ball game between Sand Greek and
Wolf Greek was won by the latter
team IA to IL.
Hugh N. Marion of this city, made
a patriotic address that is highly
spoken of by those who heard it. A
large part of the crowd stayed for
the dance in the evening. The
schoolhouse was crowded until a late
hour. The Sand Greek folks succeed
in getting up some very good times
and this is one of the best they ever
held.

SAYS THE TOWN HAS GROWN
MIRACULOUSLY SINCE 1915

Mr.. and Mrs. E. B. Styer came up
from Sand Greek Saturday morning
to meet Mr.. Styer's father and grand
father, E. R. and Lewis Styer, of
Menomonie, Wis. Both gentlemen
have visited Wolf Point, and were
surprised at its growth. Lewis Styer
who is Sc years of age, and as strong
and well as many a man twenty
years younger, last saw the city in
1915 when it was mere hamlet. At
that time the depot was in the east
end of town, near the mill, and when
Mr.. Styer stepped off the train the
other morning, he could scarcely be-
lieve it was the same town. He ex-
pressed great astonishment at the
growth.

Cox & Roosevelt Named
Democratic Candidates
Governor of Ohio and Asst Secretary of Navy VIII
Garry Party Standard-McAdoo Contender Until
the Last-Winner is Lifelong Newspaper Man
With Good Record In Home State-Palmer Broke
the Deadlock by Releasing His Supporters.

San Francisco, July 6.-James M.
Cox, governor of Ohio, was nomi-
mated for president of the United
State in the Democratic National con-
vention at 40 o'clock this morning.
The nomination came at the conclu-
sion of a 44-ballot struggle, in which
he had steadily beaten down the
forces of William G. McAdoo, for
mer secretary of the Treasury, and
President Wilson's son-in-law.
When the balloting on the forty
fourth vote had gotten to a point
where Cox had 702 votes and was
rapidly approaching the necessary
two-thirds of 729, Sam B. Amiden of
Kansas, manager of the McAdoo for
ces and vice chairman of the Demo-
cratic National committee, took the
platform and moved that the nomina-
ton of Governor Cox be made un-
animous. Immediately there was a
roar from the tired and worn dele

minutes before Chairman Robinson
could put the question on Amiden's
motion to suspend the rules and NOM
mate Cox by acclamation.
Bands Crash as Motion Carries
At 1 :43 o'clock this morning the
motion was formerly voted over with
a rolling chorus of ayes and the
crashing of the brass bands.
State standards which had surg
ed back and forth in the desperate
battles of the deadlock raced to the
front of the hall and to a place be-
fore the platform.
In the confusion and excitement
of nomination after the strenuous
and hard sessions of the convention,
almost everybody forgot about
for the vice presidency
but the leaders who were figuring on
a list which prominently included
Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York.
The convention adjourned to noon
today.
After the 38th ballot Palmer's
announced that Palmer
wished to release his delegates. This

family will make the trip to Califor-
MIA the latter part of the month. This
car, which he purchased of Matt
Murray, of Glasgow, is one of the

THE BEST FORMULA TO KILL THE HOPPERS

Material: One pound of arsenic,
one pound of salt, one quart of cheap
molasses, twenty-five pounds of bran,
nine to twelve quarts of water or
enough to moisten each flake of bran.
(Bran to be of the cheapest grade
possible.)
Method of Mixing: Put water in a
tub add syrup, stir we'll, then add
salt and arsenic. Take a common gar
den rake and beat until thoroughly
mixed, pour this mixture from one
tub to another at least five times,
have your bran spread out on floor
and without allowing the mixture to
settle pour it on the bran. Shovel
it thoroughly as though you were
mixing up concrete until every parti-
Gle of bran is damp. The amount of
water will necessarily depend on the
coarseness of the bran.
Method of Poisoning: Spread the
poison broadcast over places where
the grasshoppers are feeding at the
rate of ten to fifteen pounds per acre.
The best time to poison is from three
to five in the evening or from sun-up
to eight o'clock in the morning. This
is because the dew keeps the poison
damp and the hoppers feed more and
are less active at that time. The poi
son should be applied when damp.

SEVEN GAME SERIES
in TWO-TOWN LEAGUE

During the first five days of July
the Wolf Point and Glasgow ball
teams played a series of seven games,
three at Poplar, three at Glasgow
and one at Culbertson. The series
started at Poplar July 1st at the
Indian celebration and continued
Saturday, Sunday and Monday morn
ing at the Glasgow stampede and
finished at the Culbertson celebration
Monday afternoon. The Wolves had
only a part of team with which to
go into the series. Zimmerman had
gone to Lake Benton, Minnesota, to
play with the team of that town, and
we had but scant pitching material
with which to go into a seven-game
series.
The scores of all the games were
low and most of them close. Glas-
gov took all three games played at
Poplar, to 3, to 2 and 8 to 0.
Guilfoyle, new catcher that has
been recently secured, caught all the
games and performed very satisfac-
torily. Siebert pitched the first game,
Swenson the second game, and Phil
lips the third one.
At Glasgow the Wolves took two
out of three from Hester's team.
Glasgow won the first, to 1 and
Wolf Point won the second and third
8 to 2 and 1 to 0. Handler pitched
the first game, siebert the second
and Swenson the third.
Glasgow took the seventh game
at Culbertson 5 to 1. Connie Schen-
1enberger started to pitch the game
for the Wolves but was relieved by
Swenson. So far as could be learn
ed no more games have been sched-
lled.

days it becomes more attractive to
the hoppers. This can de done by
letting it sit in a barrel.
Procedure for Getting Material:-
Have your local merchant order
the arsenic, bran and syrup in large
lots. Get together and guarantee
them the sale of what you think you
may need. Do this through your
community Farm Bureau Leader, or
some one in the community who is in
a good position to handle it. 1t is
getting late and inadvisable to han
die it any other way. The county
has no fund to guarantee the pur-
chase of this material. Co-opera-
ton and quick action on your part
will save you lots Of money.
The application with the present
prices should not cost you more than
fifty cents per acre. Use at the rate
of fifteen pounds per acre.
If you follow the above formula
you can't go wrong.
Call the county agent if you need
help with this.
He will be around to see you at the
earliest possible opportunity.
Arsenic is deadly poison, do not
leave it where children and live stock
can get at it.

FARMERS BODY FOUND
in WELL NEAR HAMBLIN

The body of Ollie Mccartney, we'll
known farmer and rancher, who had
lived in the vicinity of Hamblin, 35
miles south of here, for the last 10
or II years, was found last week at
the bottom of 65-foot well on the
Art Mercer place a mile and half
east of Hamblin. News of the trag-
edy did not reach the Herald until
after last weeks issue was out.
A coronor's inquest was held the
same day and it is reported that after
deliberating several hours, verdict
of suicide was reached.
McCartney's martial relations are
said to have been considerably mixed,
and it is thought that he lived in fear
of being arrested on serious charge.
Mccartney, who was about "a at
the time of his death, was twice mar
ried, having been married to wife
No. shortly after securing a divorce
from wife No. last fall. He has
two children by his first wife, one a
little boy, four or five years old, and
the other born in May, 1920. His
second wife also expects to become
a mother in short time. 1t is al
legged that the first wife had begun
action to have the divorce set aside,
claiming that same had been secur-
ed by misrepresentation and that she
had been given no opportunity to an
swer the charges against her.
1t seems that last fall Mrs Nc
Cartney went to North Dakota to
visit. During her basence Mccartney
secured divorce, and soon after
married a Mrs. Thomas, a divorcee,
with a child by fromer marriage.
Upon learning what occurred, Mrs.
McCartney No. 1 returned to Mon
tana but later went back to North
Dakota, after finding her husband
to the Thomas woman.
On June %, Mccartney went to
the home of neighbor, James Con-
nor, and told him that he was going
to get out of the country He is
also said to have given Connor a bill
of sale for all his farm property.
On the morning of June 20, Connor
went over to Hamblin store two miles
distant from his place. Passing the
Art Mercer place he noticed Nc Cart
news horse grazing near the well but
thought the owner must be near
Coming back he noticed large rock
had been removed from the cover of
the well and investigated.
McCartney's body was discovered |
at the bottom of the we'll head down
ward. The well is variously stated /
TO be from AZ to 65 feet deep and |

For Second Place

or OeCOno lace
Auditorium, San Francisco, July
6.-Franklin D. Roosevelt of New
York, assistant secretary of the navy
and relative of the president who
bore that name, was chosen by the
democratic national convention Tues
cay as it's candidate for vice presi-
dent and running mate for Governor
Cox.
The band wagon movement for Mr..
Roosevelt got under way very quick
ly soon after the convention assem-
bled and although other candidates,
including Governor Stewart of Mon
tana and Major General L. D. Tyson
of Tennessee were presented, there
was ~ doubt of Mr.. Roosevelt's Sc
k ia,l j. ON the first.
The gossip about the convention
hall was that the Tammany organiza-
ton, with whom Mr.. Roosevelt has
not always been on good terms, was
disinclined to accept at first, but in
the language of the politicians who
were working for Roosevelt, "Tam-
many decided to swallow him."
Governor Smith of New York final
ly took the platform and told the con-
vention he had been instructed by
his delegation to second Mr.. Roose-
velt's nomination.

FIFTY AT BANQUET
HEAR z SPEAKERS
AND BUSINESSMEN
DINE TOGETHER AND CAN
DIDATES TALK

About fifty men attended the ban
quet held at the Sherman at 1880
Tuesday evening. The number at
tending would have been twice as
large had it not been for the heavy
rain storm that occurred just at that
hour. There were representations
from the business men of the city,
railroad employees and mechanics.
The banquet was planned by the
Commercial club in honor of NJ Nc
Cusker, a railroad man of this city,
who recently received the endorse
ment for Congress of the state con-
vention of farmers and laboring men
held at Great Falls. B. K. Wheeler,
who was endorsed by the same con-
vention for governor, was in the city
and was also guest at the banquet
Two Addresses
After enjoying an excellent repast,
served in the Sherman's we'll known
style, Hugh N. Marion, who had been
given the post as POSTMASTER, intro
duced with pleasant and appropriate
remarks Mr.. McCusker and Mr..
Wheeler who spoke at considerable
length on topics pertinent to the
present campaign.
Speaking in conversational style
Mr.. McCusker built a strictly logical
argument to show that what the
country needs is men placed in po-
sitions of authority who have the de-
sire and the unhampered power to
conduct the government in the in
terest of the masses. He pronounc-
ed our government one of the finest
in the world and said that under our
form of government political parties
We're necessary. But that the leading
parties were at present divided into
conservative, progressive and radical
factions, none of which could con-
troll their party and therefore neu-
tralized each others effect and rem
dered the party powerless for the
purposes which it was supposed to
accomplish. Parties dared oppose
no powerful interest and spent their
force in efforts to stay in power. He
quoted statistics to prove that the
United States, with six per cent of
the wealth and seven per cent of
the land area of the world produced
from 25 to 80 per cent of the chief
of commerce and that
there was no excuse for present
prices.
State Issues
Mr.. Wheeler confined himself al
most entirely to state issues. He
spoke very frankly but often drop
ped into a humorous vein. In talking
about the Amalgamated Copper Min
ng Co. and its influence on Montana
politics, he called spade a spade
and divulged some interesting infor-
nation. In conclusion he declared
hat it was not his purpose, if elect
I'd governor to put any man or any
not even the A. G. NJ out
If business, he merely wanted to put
some of them out of politics and
transfer the seat of state govern
nent from the "6th floor of the
Iennessey building to the State
Capitol"
Both speeches were well received
md there was a social session of half
IN hour after the party arose from
he table.

GOOD LAW QUOTED THAT AP.
PLIES TO BOTH TOWN AND
COUNTRY WEEDS

During the last week many lar
mers have called at the commercial
club and registered a complaint about
their neighbors allowing thlstles TO
90 to seed and consequently, the land
that was summer fallowed by them
is a harbor for their neighbors thlst-
les.
The state legislature, many years
ago. realized that thistles were
common nuisance to the welfare OF
the state and enacted legislation,
which would if enforced, eliminate
this pest.
For the benefit of everyone who
reads this article, l am setting forth
the state statute verbatim in order
that a better compliance with the
law will be made and complaints OF
your neighbor may become thing OF
