It was q rather shattered lineup that faced the Barons. Two Chick players, the fact that suspensions, filed against them in New Orleans, where they had a fraeas with the umpres, prevented their appearance in the park. A pitcher was used on first base and catcher in the outfield.
 Yesterdays game was the calmest that while. There was very little sensational about the game, no wild rallies and ab- solEtely no batting of the umpires.

REV Re Y STONE READS
"THE LOST WORD

Services at the Methodist church
Sunday evening took the form Of
sacred concert which was much en-
joyed by all present. In place of a
sermon Reverend Stone read Henry
Van Dykes "The Lost Word" The
scene was laid in Antioch in the
early years of Christianity. Hermes,
"a young Christian, who had given up
wealth and social position for his
faith, is found on Christmas day half
regretful because of the way he has
chosen. He is offered wealth, fame
and happiness if he will give up the
word of God and all associated with
1T. He accepts. He inherits wealth
and seems endowed with the Midas
touch. He marries happily, and be-
comes the idol of his set. Still he
feels the lack of something to COM
plete his happiness. He cannot pray
either to pour out his gratitude or
to ask help in time of trouble. Fin
ally comes the realization of the poor
bargain he has made, and then "the
word" is restored to him.
Reverend Stone made the story
live before his audience, and the abb
solute silence which prevailed dur
ing the recital was the best possible
proof of the manner in which he
held the interest, and the effective
way in which he brought out the ser
mon contained in the story. 1t was
one of the most effective readings
ever given in Wolf Point.

The year 1920 has been full of un-
rest and discomfort and disatisfac-
tion with things as they exist. AS a
remedy for this unrest I would sug-
gest work, work not solely as a
means, but work for the joy of work
ing, the glory of accomplishment. If
every man, woman and child could
know the happiness of work for
works sake, this country would be
less troubled by crime waves and
general unrest. There would be more
of peace and prosperity in 1921 than
there has been for several years past.

the Civic League

From Rev. Stone

Though we may not be called so
by the world yet we are all business
men and all engaged in business.
There is an honor in business that is
the fine gold of it; that reckons with
every man justly; that loves light /;
that regards kindness and fairness
more highly than goods or prices or
profits. 1t becomes man more than
his furnishings or his house. 1t
speaks for him IN the heart Of every
one. His friendships are serene and
secure. His strength is like young
tree by the river. Let US keep our
standard high through the New Year.

Wolf Point Lodge No. I
A.O.U.W. Has Fine Start

Brother Yates gave an exceptionally
fine and inspiring address that
brought his hearers to a high pitch
of realization of the worth and high
standard of the order.
The members Of the lodge feel
it has started under most happy aus
pices and that is is very fortunate in
both its organizers and the officers
selected. Master Workman Taylor
takes hold of the work like veteran
and is sure to prove a strong leader.
He gave the members an excellent
talk, filled with encouragement and
sound advice.
After adjournment all hands went
to Brother Brownlee's Owl Cafe for
lunch which the entertainment COM
mittee had ordered and which was
much enjoyed
The first and third Tuesday even
ings of each month were adopted as
regular meeting times. These nights
seemed to conflict With other AFFAIRS
as little as any that could be found.
Next Tuesday coming so soon will be
skipped and the next meeting will
be on January 18th. The place will
be announced in next weeks papers.
Every member will hustle hard for
new members between now and then.
Nothing less than membership
above 100 by spring will satisfy the
boys.
The A. o. U. w. is a grand frater-
nal order and the insurance feature
will stand the fullest investigation
Talk it over with some member and
Join NOW.

A Thought For 1921

Natural history teaches US that
real wolves are the most keen and
persistant Of all animals in their pur-
suit of livelihood and that they con-
tinue to thrive under the most adj
verse conditions. Let us be Real
Wolves in our persistence in every
thing that is good and right for Wolf
Point in 1921 and remember each
day of the 365 that "the man worth
while is the one who can smile when
everything goes dead wrong H.

Doesn't that sound familiar? Ger

ty seat still acknowledge that there
is something at Wolf Point worth
fighting with. No politics about this.
Just basket ball.
Friday, January 7th, at the Coli
scum, the Poplar city basket ball
team will contest for supremacy with
the Wolves, Wolf Points city team
just reorganized for the season.
The Poplar lineup has not been
learned but it is well understood
that they have a fast, well-trained
team which probably includes sever
al of Poplar's famous high school
team which won the district tourna-
here last winteR It is said that they
believe they are strong enough to
best the Wolf Point team which is
just in the practice stage and has
not played a game so far this season.
The Wolves are practicing with
faithful regularity and hope to be in
shape to give the county seat boys
a hard tussle for the long end Of the
score. The local quintet will be made
up from some of the stars of last
years team and this years likely
recruits, including Harry Handler,
captain Eddie Frahm, manager, Ken
meth King, Raynor Lenz, Arthur
Hall, Kenneth Pouder, Leonard
Kleve and Emmett Balkan.
The locals have a large number Of
opponents in prospect and the winter
season will see some interesting
games, both here and at other points
along the line.
Captain Handler says that the
new uniforms that the boys have
coming will probably not be here in
time for the game next week. Very
attractive outfits have been ordered,
and are being donated by different
business concerns of the city.
A good attendance at this first
game will be source of encourage
ment to the boys. Turn out and root
for Wolf Point.

Progress In 1920

The Indians residing around Wolf
Point have made many changes for
the better since January 1, 1920.
Frame houses have taken the place
of dobe cabins and wells have taken
the place of water hauled from the
Missouri river. Pastures and fenced
fields have come into use instead of
the open range and nearly every fam
lily has good mich COW. Every In
dian family in Wolf Point district
have possessed the prudence and
forethought to purchase enough pro-
visions in Wolf Point stores to last
them throughout the coming winter.
