BAND RECEPTION
Last Wednesday. a week ago,
was gala day at Wolf Point.
The occasion being an address
by Gov. Frazier, the farmer gov
ernor of the great state of North
Dakota, and the only real farm
er, occupying the governors
chair in the United States.
The Montana Labor League,
Organized Labor, and the men,
bers of the Nonpartisan League,
and the Wolf Point Merchants
Association and the Commercial
Club all united to make the day
the biggest day ever celebrated
in Wolf Point, and the celebra-
ton was a huge success. Humid
reds of farmers from the sur
rounding country congregated
at Wolf Point, where they were
entertained and made comfort
able.
In the afternoon, all of the
business places closed, and the
hours were given over to cele-
bration and mingling with and
getting acquainted with the
farmers. :,
The business men of Wolf
Point realize that the interests
of the small town business men
and the farmers and organized
labor are identical and that
what benefits the farmers and
laborers are bound to benefit
them, and they are going to help
the laborers and farmers get
what they want, knowing that
at the same time they are help
ing themselves. Wolf Point is
setting an example to the rest
of the towns, and one that will
be soon copied everywhere. And
SO at Wolf Point the i'll feeling
existing between the small tow,
business man and farmers and
laborers does not exist. Each
faction recognizes the right of
the other to organize for it's own
betterment.
