BASTIC-HOILAND

Paul Bastic and Miss Inga Holland
slipped quietly away to Havre last
Sunday, returning Tuesday morning
as Mr.. and Mrs. Bastic, much to the
surprise of their friends. The groom
has been a Great Northern engineer
for several years, but has quit that
occupation and will devote himself
to farming his land on the south side
of the river. He recently purchased
the Richard Warmth place which
adjoins his own. The bride has been
employed in the city for a number
of years and is we'll liked by a large
number of friends. The newlyweds
have the congratulations and best
wishes of all who know them, and in
these the Herald is glad to join.

LOCAL MEN WILL BUILD
NORTH COUNTRY ROADS

The county road work that was
advertised to be let Monday brought
a bunch of bidders to Mondak. Par
ties from all over the county were
on hand with their bids, as we'll as
many sending in their bids by mail.
There were over forty offers on the
different jobs, and the prices ranged
from 1912 to so cents a yard for
grading work.
Several contracts were let and the
successful bidders were as follows:
E. L. Gates, Wolf Point north road;
c. H. DeVaney, Wolf Point-Dry
Fork road; j. B. Fleschman, gilbert
son-Russian Settlement road; Moen
and Murphy, Culbertson north road;
L. J. Delaney, Calder-Bainville road;
Albert LaLonde, Mondak north road;
liner Bergstrom, McCabe east road;
Metzgard Pichard, Brockton north
road. The average price per cubic
yard was about 80 cents.-Poplar
Standard.

Republican Ticket

For vice president or the repub-
lican ticket, Hoover received 6, T.
Roosevelt and Hughes 2 each, and
seven other gentlemen, including F.
w. Block and Judge Charles Gordon
of this city, one each. No Wolf
Point democrat wanted anybody but
Governor S. V. Stewart for vice
president and he got the solid fifteen
votes. The eight candidates for
delegates to the republican conven-
ton, receiving the highest totals
were, Alexander, Adami, Ambrose,
Baker, C. B. Allen, Brimacombe,
Anderson and Hart. No returns to
speak of have been received from
other parts of the county. Johnson
appears to have run stronger in
Wolf Point than in any of the other
towns along the main line in this
county. In Poplar, Hoover and Low
den were the leaders.

RAIN CONTINUES IN MONTANA

We find that quite a number of
our readers who get the Herald in
some other state are anxious to learn
of weather conditions in eastern
Montana. For the week since the
last issue we wish to report rain and
more rain. There has been some
thing in the way of moisture from
light s~prinkles to heavy showers ev-
cry day. The weather is cool while
clouds prevail, but whenever the sun
succeeds in struggling through for a
short period, it shines with fine,
spring-like warmth. The grass is
getting green, but at this time it is
a little uncertain just when farmers
will get their crops planted. How
ever, no one is kicking very much
and everybody is more confident ev-
cry day of the big crop to be har-
vested this fall.

Republicans Talk

In the evening came what the
politicians counted as the big event
The dining room of the Gateway
hotel was set with tables to full ca.
pacity and every chair was filled by
visitors and townspeople. After the
eating was over a program of ex-
cellent speaking occupied several
hours. Chairman Geo. Dick of the
republican central committee acted
as POSTMASTER and kept things going
in good style through the following
program:
Address of Welcome, Mayor H. NJ.
Cosier.
Response, F. S. Reed, %Culbertson.
"The Young Republican of 1920"
Mayor o. T. Stennes, Wolf Point.
"a United Party" Frank NJ. Cat
lin, Culbertson.
'"The Patriotism of Peace" Dana
NJ. Easton, Poplar.
'The Important Year." State Sen
ator Henry Lowe, Culbertson.
Address, Hon. Joseph NJ. Dixon,
Missoula, candidate for the republi-
a nomination for governor.
The speakers were all well pre-
pared and handled their subjects
cleverly from the republican stand
point. Mr.. Easton, who recently re-
turned from the service and who is
we'll known as a talented speaker,
made an unusually brilliant speech.
Senator Dixon's speech vas made up
of sound argument and ommon
sense, advancing principles of gov
eminent that could not fail to be
acceptable to any fair man of any
party. Mr.. Dixon has had a vast
amount of experience in the politi-
cal game while serving his state in
both the upper and lower houses of
congress.
The Poplar hosts certainly sue
ceeded in showing the visitors a
good time and a full day of instruc-
ton as we'll as entertainment. The
gang appreciated to the fullest
the efforts of Brothers Jerome and
Frawley to make the Poplar meet
ing a pleasant one.

How Diphtheria is Contracted

One often hears the expression,
"My child caught a severe cold which
developed into diphtheria," when the
truth was that the cold had simply
left the little one particularly sus-
ceptible to the wandering diphtheria
germ. If your child has a cold when
diphtheria is prevalent you should
take him out of school and keep him
off the street until fully recovered,
as there is a hundred times more
danger of his taking diphtheria when
he has a cold. When Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is given it quickly
cures the cold and lessons the dan
ger of diphtheria or any other germ
disease being contracted.

MASS CLUB MEETING
EARLY NEXT MONTH

The directors of the Commercial
Club met at noon today and they
had lunch together at the Arcade,
while they considered business mat
ters. Secretary Foor wishes to ex-
plain to the club members in general
that the reason why no general club
meeting was held during April was
because of the pressure of other
matters which made it difficult to
find a suitable time. He states that
a general meeting will be held early
in May.

laundry. Besides these, there is the
building for the teachers, superln-
tendent and the farm buildings. Ev-
erv par of every building was
found to be neat, clean and sanitary
to a degree that was a pleasant sur
prise to the visitors. In the dorml-
tories, every object, from individual
tooth brushes to the rows OF white
beds, was in its place and immacu-
lately clean. The children are train
ed to do the work and keep things
in order. The children themselves
gave the impression of being cheer
full and comfortable.
While the editors were in one of
the school rooms, a chorus OF girls
was brought in and sang four selec-
lions in a manner that delighted and
surprised their auditors. The voices
of the Indian girls had volume and
musical richness that is seldom
found among children. At the dim
ing hall, the visitors watched the
children file in to the we'll supplied
tables and sit down to their moor
meal which consisted of boiled meat,
potatoes, gravy, bread and milk.
Dined With the Major
At the superintendent house, the
editors were entertained at a sump-
tuous dinner, at the close of which
the guests were called upon for short
talks. In conclusion, Major Moss
gave a very interesting dis
course on the work of caring for the
Indians. A story of several columns
could easily be written on what the
men saw and learned dur
ing this visit to the school, but it
happens that lack of space renders
it impossible to tell all that should
be this week. If possible this i'm
portant subject will be discussed
more fully in later issues.
During the afternoon, five cars
took about twenty of the visitors, in
Guiding the editors and Senator
Dixon, into the country to see some
of the 25, OOO-acre farm of the Mon
tana Farming Corporation. Man
ager Frank A. Thackery accompan-
led the party and answered the many
questions concerning the big enter
prise. There is no room to tell the
story this week, but some interest
ing facts about this bonanza farm
will be given later.
At a brief session the press asso-
voted to accept the invitation
Of Editor Butler to hold their next
Meeting at Froid on a date to be de-
later.

in office while purchasing agent, mat
ter of close to two years. Cheap gossip
ers have had him sliced TO pieces. He has
friends who said there was nothing to 1t.
Attorney General Frank Archibald asked
for an entry of nole prosequi, and said
in his opinion there was not enough evi-
dence to warrant a conviction. As far as
this goes it is just what has been expect
ed There should be some redress for a
man kept on the gridiron for this length
of time, when his case has been ready for
trial, and he was anxious to try it out.
We hope the ones responsible for starting
in on this thing will get what's coming

where Attorney General Barber was
when this thing was pulled off. We shall

after Dewey every chance they got try

UNIVERSAL TRAINING
CANNOT PASS SENATE
Canvass of That Body Causes Oppon
entS of System to Predict Defeat
BY About Ten Votes

WASHINGTON, April S.-Universal
military training appears unlikely to be
authorized by the United States senate
While the debate on the army reorgani-
cation bill has been going on, a careful
canvass Of the senate has been made and
and the opponents of universal training
are predicting its defeat by about ten
votes
This estimate probably is liberal, but
TIE situation is somewhat confused by the
embarrassed attitude Of several senators
whose experience in the last three years
has taught them the value of adequate
preparedness, yet who may be held back
on the final voting by the adverse sen
timent iii their states.
There can be little question that the
senators as body are convinced of the
wisdom of the proposed system, and that
they believe the United States in time
will be compelled to adopt it, but tho
popular sentiment in its favor has not
yet grown strong enough to make it polit
ically safe for some statesmen to vote
| their true convictions.
