Natures favored children, delight to

This custom of dressing up, ac-

greatly cherished, are not found, of

Milady is tempted to shop where they

OIL COMPANIES CONSOLIDATE FOR
GREATER DEVELOPMENT STRENGTH

The prospects for early develop
ment of the local oil fields were
greatly enhanced by a business dea
that was announced this week-the
consolidation of the Mon-Tex Oh
Company with the Wolf Point Oil
Gas Company, both corporations or
ganized by local business men.
The consolidated company takes
the name, Mon-Tex Oil Company and
continues under its charter and for
the present, it's officers. The new
company has capitalization of
S750,000. This gives Wolf Point
two large oil companies and makes
the future look promising for the in
dustry in this community.
Greater Strength
The officers of the consolidated
company mentioned among the prin-
cipal reasons for the consolidation,
that the Mon-Tex Oil Company holds
in the proven fields of Wy
oming and Montana, where there are
wells. That the Wolf
Point Oil & Gas Company were una
BILE to obtain sufficient leases south
of the river, but by uniting the two
companies their holdings are brought
under single management and a larg-
er and stronger company is. formed
to develop the Wolf Point field
They say that twelve of the lead
ing business men are at the head of
this company. Their interests are
wholly in and around Wolf Point and
f the land owners of the vicinity will
cooperate they will be able to test
md develop the field. The company
)ffers land owners one dollar an acre
or leases and one-eighth royalty of
III oil and gas produced, the dollar
IN acre being payable in stock in the
The officers of the company say
hat the matter is now up to the own
rs of the ground. If sufficient leas-
s can be secured development can
'e carried to a point that will give
Volt Point a real oil boom. If leases
annot be secured, this territory is /
kelly to be indefinitely tied up.
The present officers of the COM
any are w. L. Young, Harry Mason
nd Geo. H. Flint.

SECRETARY'S SERVICES
ARE DISPENSED WITH

At meeting of the executive
committee of the Wolf Point branch
of the Red Cross, held at the First
State Bank Wednesday evening,
March "a, it was voted to dispense
with the further services of Miss
Alice E. Aitkin as executive secre-
tary. Miss Aitkin was sent here
from Northern division headquarters
about two months ago and divided
her time between the different
branches of the county chapter.
The employment of an executive
secretary was strongly urged upon
the chapter and branch by E. G. Elk
lund, division officer, and in fact,
it appears that contract to pay the
salary and expenses of a secretary
was signed at Culbertson before
Miss Aitkin was sent out from Min
neapolis. The local executive com
mittee acquiesced against the better
Judgment of the majority of the
members. Their position was that
5he local branch was competent to
AXE care of its field and that the
expenses of a special secretary was
| waste of funds that were none too
olenty. 1t now appears that trial
# the executive secretary plan has
erved to confirm the first opinion
# at least majority of the commit
ee members.

MONTHLY MEETING
CALLED FOR 18TH
COMMERCIAL CLUB MEMBERS
AND OTHERS INVITED TO
EXPRESS VIEWS
BONDS AND FERRY UP
White City Owners Ask Privilege of
Charging Higher Rates
Other Matters

The regular monthly meeting of
the Commercial Club has been called
for Friday evening at the Sherman
hotel This will be a general meet
ing open to club members and all
other citizens. 1t will be held in the
sample room beginning at eight o.
clock
Secretary Foor states that some
very important matters will be brot
up for discussion. One of these is
the proposed water bond issue on
which an election has been called for
April 10. The City officials are anx-
ious that this question should be
gone over thoroughly and that every
one who holds views or opinions be
present and express themselves.
Another matter of vital and gen
eral interest is that of ferry rates.
The White City will soon be running
again and the owners claim that they
cannot afford to operate the ferry
at the rates in force last year. Whe-
ther the club will agree to an in
crease, and if so, what the new rates
should be, will be very proper
question to be debated and settled.
1t is very important that a large
and representative attendance turns
out for this meeting in order that
these important matters be fully and
fairly discussed and the prevailing
opinion brought out.

M. D. A. MEN TALK
TO MERCHANTS
FOWLER AND LINE MAKE FINE
TALKS ON RIGHT BUSINESS
METHODS

Members of the Wolf Point Mer.
chants Association and others held
meeting at the Sherman hotel last
Friday night that proved to be the
most beneficial of any held since the
association was formed. The meet
ing was addressed by C. w. Fowler
of Columbus, Montana, and Mr..
Line, field workers for the Montana
Development Association. Their
talks were by far the best on the
subjects handled that have been
heard in our city.
]. l.. Truscott, of Glasgow, dis
trict director of the association, and
pioneer merchant of Glasgow, was
chairman of the meeting after being
introduced by Secretary Foor of the
local association.
Mr.. Fowler's general subject was
"The benefit to be derived by Busi-
ness Men from the Montana Associ-
ton" AS described by him, this
state organization closely resembles
a commercial club of statewide
scope. 1t brings widely separated
sections of the state into closer touch
and better acquaintance and cannot
fail to result in much good to bust
ness men and the communities in
which they do business. The pro-
gram of the association in brief is to
bring about square deal for every
body through publicity and fuller
understanding of the other fellows
position and problems. Mr.. Fowler
made mastery address which made
1 profound impression upon those
Who heard it.
Mr.. Line devoted himself to dis
:ussion of the reasons for the high |
PRICES of the commodities of life. He |
Ilso discussed the subject of ''Retail |
'rices," and what a local merchant |
must take into consideration before
e has arrived at the full cost of his
'oods and the percentage of profit
t which he must sell them. The
peaker took up the mail order
ouse question and brought out
many surprising points and proved
hat mail order house prices could
e met by any experienced merchant.
The addresses were preceded by
substantial lunch and business
assion of the local organization.

eral Leonard Wood seemed winner
in neck-and-neck race for the Re
publican Endorsement for the presi-
Dental nomination when returns
from the statewide primaries at 1
o'clock this morning showed him to
be leading Frank 0. Lowden, of Ill
inois, by about 5000 votes.
The returns virtually cleaned up
the precincts in all the leading towns
except Huron, where several pre-
cincts were missing. Shortly before
midnight, the Black Hills counties
began to report and those heard from
went heavily for Wood
Johnson polled a heavy vote at
Yankton and complete returns from
Pierre, the state capital, showed he
carried the city by a plurality of sew
en- votes over Wood.
Governor Peter Norbeck had a
good margin over Dick Haney for
the Republican senatorial nomina-
ton and w. H. McMaster, of Yank-
ton, was ahead of r. O. Richards,
his opponent for the Republican
nomination for governor.
None to Oppose These
A number of candidates for ma
5ional and state offices were auto
nominated. The Richards
primary law provides for such a pro-
'ess when candidates have no party
opposition. The ticket of the Ma
ional Nonpartisan League-which |
las party status in South Dakota
vas not on the primary ballot. When
he time limit for independent can
lidates to file had expired, the sec
etary of state had not received any
additional filings from candidates for
eague support, and the ticket in
orsed at the proposal convention,
december 2, was considered nomin-
ted.

WHEN THE PAPER DOESN'T

My father says the paper that he

He finds lot of fault, he does, per-
using it at night;
He says there amt single thing in

And that it doesn't print the kind of
stuff that people need.
He tosses it aside and says it's strict
ly ION the bum,"
But you ought to hear him holler
when the paper doesn't come.
He reads about the weddin's and he
snorts like all get out;
he reads the social doin's with the
most derisive shout;
He says they make the papers for
the women folk alone.
He'll read about the parties and he'll
fume and fret and groan,
He says of information it don't con-
tain crumb-
But you ought to hear him holler
when the paper doesn't come.
He's always first to grab it and he
reads it plumb clear through;
de doesn't miss an item or a want ad
that is true;
He says ''they don't know what we
want, them durn newspaper
guys,
I'm going to take a day some time
and go and put them wise"

be blind and deaf and dumb
But you ought to hear him holler
