tions from the United States. as
the American producers object to
accepting Canadian money at a
heavy discount.

COAL SUPPLY is LOW

A near coal famine has affected
the community this week in a mum
ber of undesirable ways. Coal sup
plies were allowed to run low on the
supposition that warm weather was
close at hand, but the continued cool,
wet weather makes a little fire
necessary to comfort. Monday the
schools had to be dismissed because
the rooms could not be heated. Quite
a number of business houses and
homes were so short of coal that it
was parceled about in sacks. For
some reason the electric plant ran
low on fuel and cars in shipment
failed to arrive on time. Tuesday
afternoon the plant was shut down
to conserve the small supply on hand
for use at night.

DRUG COMPANY
CROSSES THE STREET

The Walters Drug Company is
moving their stock across Main
street to the new building just com
pleted by the Farmers Lumber Com
pany especially for the drug store.
Mr.. Walters store, in its former To-
cation in his own building, was a
very nice one that would compare
more than favorably with the aver
age small city drug store, but the
space was not sufficient to accomo-
date the demands of his business and
he also preferred a northside loca-
ton. In the new building, the store
will have much more space, both on
the main floor and in the basement.
In several particulars the new quar-
ters permit features that insure
greater convenience and better SER
vice.

ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING
KILLS S0UTHSIDE BOY

James Wright, an eleven year old
boy, died at his home near Nina, in
McCone county, as the result of be-
ing accidentally shot when a 38-cal-
ibre revolver in the hands of play
mate was discharged. The body was
brought to Clayton's undertaking
rooms in this city this morning.
A number of children were on
their way home from school and
stopped in at the house of one of
their number. The adults of the
family were not at the house and
the boys got the revolver and were
playing with it. It proved to be
loaded and in some way the trigger
was pressed and the Wright boy
CHANGED to be the victim, the bullet
entering one of his eyes. Further
particulars are not available at this
time.

lures and illustrations of familiar
myths and legends are especially val
liable.
Growing boys and girls should be
encouraged to fill their rooms with
pictures of their own choosing. By
bringing them in contact with beau
tiful pictures you can better their
Judgment. We are trying to do this
in the Wolf Point school. We need
more pictures. We are having the
children study the pictures which we
have. Following this article is the
story of picture by sixth grader
in our school. The list of available
subjects is constantly being increas-
ed, and the exhibit which will be here
May 7th will allow you wide range
OF choice at reasonable prices. What
better present can you buy for the
June bride, for birthday present,
or for Christmas present, than a
beautiful picture. Let US all see to
1t that the pictures we buy today are
so well chosen that they will be
worth handing down to the coming
generation.

HANS0N'S CASH STORE
HAS BEEN SOLD

After six years of successful bus
mess, O. H. Hanson, the proprietor,
will turn over his store on May 3rd
to F. ]. Neutgens and A. F. Kapinos.
Mr.. Hanson has shown himself an
excellent business man, building up
a large store and a steady trade
from very small beginning. He
has not only been good merchant
but a good citizen in all that the
term implies and his business asso-
ciates will greatly regret his drop
ping out of the list. Mr.. Hanson
states that his plans for the future
are not formed, but that he will re-
main in Wolf Point for an indefinite
time.
The new firm will do business un-
der the style of The Cash Grocery
and Bakery. These young men, who
were mentioned in last weeks issue,
as probable Wolf Point business re-
cruits, come here from Poplar where
they have been employed with the
leading mercantile concerns of that
city. They have had excellent ex-
perience in merchandising and are
full of the pep and enthusiasm that
are so essential to success. 1t is
that they intend to con-
fine themselves to the grocery and
bakery lines and close out the stocks
of dry goods and shoes. They an
nounce their intention of doing bus
mess on a strictly cash basis, not
thirty days or one day, but cash with
order or on delivery.

Larger Postoffce Assured
Ask Bids On New Building
Becomes End Glass July 1st
New Regulations

After the postoffice becomes sec
ond class, the employees will be held
strictly to the eight-hour rule, and
will not be allowed to work more
than that length of time. The gen.
eral delivery window will be shut at
600 instead of $50 as at present,
and will not be open at all on Sun
days.
Postmaster Hanson says that at
the present time the bulk of the out
going mail is put in the office after
the closing hour, making it a diff
cult matter to get the letters can
celled and the mail made up in time
to go on No. 2, since postal regula-
tions require that the mail be at the
depot half an hour before train time.
There is about five times as much
mail east as west out of this of
flee, he says, and business firms could
get much quicker service to the Twin
Cities and beyond if they would drop
their letters in the postoffice in time
to go on No. % in the afternoon.
Mail for No. 28 is made up by 2:45
or 800 p. m., and reaches the Twin
Cities before mail put on No. 2 the
same day.
Postmaster Hanson was assured
by the postal service representative
here last Monday that his difficult
position, owing to lack of help and
postoffice quarters, was fully realiz-
ed by the department, but owing to
measures in force during the war,
and the rapid growth of Wolf Point,
t was unable to extend the necessary
provisions demanded by the situa-
ion.
When asked whether the fact of |
his being a second class office would
mean that there would be city mail
Ielivery, Mr.. Hanson stated that this
would not come for anoth-
r year. To secure mail delivery, a
itsr aust have population of TO-
90, or the gross receipts of the
ostoffice must equal $4,000 during
he year. The receipts for the year
nding March 81, totaled over $9,-
90, and it is very likely that they
ill go over the $4,000 mark dur
lg this fiscal year.

EXCLAMATION CONTEST TO BE
HELD SAME DATE-OTHER
SCHOOL NEWS

The Inter-Society Contest held
last Tuesday afternoon in the High
School Assembly was one of the
most interesting as well as enjoyable
literary affairs that we have had this
year. About month ago a list of
200 words was placed on the bulle-
tin board. The two societies were
requested to study them. These
were the first to be used in our con-
test. There were 55 members lined
up on each side of the assembly
room. Mr.. Poore pronounced the
words and several of the high school
teachers acted as judges. Most Of
them spelled very well. Now and
then a word would cause many to
drop out. At one time the Bitter
Roots seemed to be running away
from the Delta Gamma people. AS
the list neared the end the Delta
Gammas took fresh courage and
came back strong. Finally four re-
ilidiiiOo Oi1 OaSH ICoiii, anu 41l. OOlC
used words which neither side had
studied. The Bitter Roots left were
Ray Miller, Olga McQuigg, RATHER
inc Randall and Esther Wright. The
Delta Gammas were Marian Walters,
Mabel Johnson, Mabel Gardner and
Claude Carpenter. Each side lost
members until Esther Wright and |
Marian Walters were left. They |
continued to spell and seemed to be
evenly matched. Marian stumbled |
IN a word and dropped out. Esther
Wright won for the Bitter Roots.
rhe Delta Gamma members are ar
angling a picnic for the two socie-
les. This will take place the last of
Iay. Such contests will develop
pellers in preparation for the

Language-"The Song of the Lark"
Hazel Carpenter
April 13, 1920

One early morning in summer as
Jules Breton was walking in the
fields of France, the joyous song of
lark burst upon his thoughts.
On looking around, Breton soon
found the bird by following the gaze
OF a peasant girl, who had stopped
In her work to watch the bird and
listen to its "Good Morning"
While gazing at the girl, Breton
was struck by the strong happy fig
ure and, wishing to show the out
side world her simple happiness, he
painted the beautiful picture, "The
Song of the Lark"
At the time Breton saw the girl
she was just starting out to work,
and as she was working she paused
to listen to the lark.
Breton painted her as he saw her
that morning. Dressed for a warm
day IN summer, with her sleeves roll

COMMISSION HOUSE
FOR WOLF POINT
WHOLESALE CONCERN CONSID-
ERS THIS GOOD LOCATION
FOR BRANCH

Mr.. Sheridan, representative of
the Ryan Mercantile Co., of Havre,
has been in the city this week to see
whether satisfactory arrangements
can be made for the opening of a
branch house in Wolf Point. Sec
retary Foor put Mr.. Sheridan in
touch with the situation with the re-
suit that prospects are excellent for
the opening at an early date of a
commission house to distribute fruit,
vegetables and other lines. Mr.
Sheridan conferred with the club
directors and other business men
and felt that the opportunity for a
branch house here was all that they
had expected to find. For a build
ing for present use the garage occu-
pied by the Motor Sales Co., he
thought, could be made to answer
the purpose and will be procurable
as soon as the Motor Sales new
building is ready to occupy.
The Ryan Mercantile Company is
a large and well established grocery
throughout northern Montana. At
present it is not understood that they
are handling commission lines, but
consider that there is a good open
ing for such a business in Wolf
Point, as it is central to large num-
Der of stores and consumers and
there would be economy in distribut-
ng from here goods shipped here by
carload rather than by local freight

LEGION AUXILIARY WILL
BE ORGANIZED MAY 5TH
Post Members and Women Eligible
to Membership VIII Hold a
Meeting May 5th

Every member of the Leonard
Dethman Post of the American Le-
, gion and every woman eligible to
belong to an auxiliary to the Legion
is cordially invited by the Civic Lea
que to attend party at the school
gymnasium next Wednesday evening
May 5, at eight o'clock. 1t would be
almost impossible to secure the
names of all those eligible to belong
to the auxiliary which is about to be
formed, so no individual invitations
have been sent out, but it is hoped
that everyone entitled to become
member of this organization will be
present.
To be eligible to membership one
must be either a mother, wife,
sister or a daughter (either by birth
or in law of a veteran of the World
War. And it does not make any diff
ference whether the son or brother
or husband lives in Wolf Point or is
a member of the Leonard Dethman
Post or not, if he served in the great
war, his immediate relatives are eli
gible to membership in the auxiliary.
There will be an interesting pro-
gram and a social time and then
members of the Legion will take
charge of the meeting and prelim-
mary steps will be taken toward Sc
curing a charter and forming an
auxiliary.
The committee in charge of ar
ranging for this party requests that
it be announced that this is not in
tended to be a "dress-up" affair
Members of the Legion will probably |
appear in khaki, and it has been sug-
gested that the women wear ging- |
ham or some kind of tub dress if
possible. However, no one will be
barred for the lack of a gingham
dress and everyone will be welcome,
though those who appear in raiment
that looks too spick and span new,
may have to furnish an alibi and
prove that it is last summers gown
made over.

SENATOR JOHNSON
CAPTURES STATE
ONE VOTER OUT OF FIVE AT
TENDS APRIL PRIMARIES
ON PRESIDENT
FIGHT FOR DELEGATES
Famous "a, B, D." Candidates Win
ners-How Local Voters Cast
Their Ballots

The interest of local voters in the
presidential primary election held
last Friday was not great, but judg-
ing from comments in many papers
from all over the state, it was fully
up to the interest shown in other
places. One-ffth or less of the
votes appears to have been about the
average.
Only partial returns have been re-
ceived by the Montana dailies, and
it is stated that complete returns
cannot be had before May 8, when
the official canvass is made. How
ever, it is generally conceded that
Senator Hiram Johnson has carried
the state for president Hoover,
Wood and Lowden are the runners
up. No names were filed for presi-
ident in the Democratic primaries,
but Governor Stewards name APP
peared as a candidate for vice-pres-
ident and of course received the
solid party vote. The returns indi-
cate that a mere handful of demo-
Gratis went to the polls, few of then1
feeling that there was anything of
Importance to be decided by their
party. The principal fight in Mon
tana was for delegates to the nation
al republican convention. Twenty
seven candidates were out for the
eight places. The meagre returns
gathered at the newspaper offices in
Great Falls and Helena indicate that
the eight candidates whose declara-
ton in favor of johnson was printed
on the ballot, were elected. These
were known as the A, B, c, Cor d.
candidates. If they were elected it
marks the successful outcome of a
clever political coup.
Local Returns
In the three wards of Wolf Point,
only 153 votes were cast out of
about $40 registered Of these only
Is appear to be democrats. Below is
shown the vote by wards on the four
leading republican candidates. John
sons strength, as may be seen, was
Iuite uniform over the city, but was
more in the wards
