". P. MERCHANTS ASSN
ACT AS TO CLOSING

A good meeting of the Wolf Point
Merchants Association was held on
Tuesday evening at the Fad Cloth
ing store. There was a fair attend
ance and strong interest. The mat
ter of closing business places on spe-
cial occasions was considered and it
was decided that a more convenient
and time-saving system that would
take care of the matter on each spe-
cial occasion was required. 1t was
decided that when an occasion arose
that seemed to some to call for the
closing of business houses, a request
for such closing is to be filed with
A. NJ. Foor, secretary of the associa-
ton. Mr.. Foor will report the re-
quest to standing committee elect
ed last night, made up of o. H. Han
son, J. F. Cook and w. L. Young,
who will make decision on each
particular case, and if places are to
be closed, the secretary will issue
notices.
The meeting voted unanimously
in favor of the community fair idea
that has been launched by the direc-
tors of the commercial club.
The meeting voted to continue to
,lose the stores at 6 p. m. until April
Lst instead of March 10, the date
formerly set.

/ school band. Drawings will then
take place and it will be decided
what contests will be put on first.
! There will be ten or twelve games,
two or three at each of the afternoon
and evening sessions. Adult tickets,
good for any one of these sessions,
are being sold at fifty cents. The
games will be intensely interesting,
and citizens are urgde to give the
tournament their patronage. 1t can
not be known until after the drawing
when the local high school team will
first play, but as soon as this is
known, students will go about the
streets as criers announcing the
time. Large delegations are expect
ed to accompany the visiting teams,
particularly from Poplar and Glas-
gov The local team is believed to
have 2 good fighting chance and they
deserve the best support that the
townspeople can give them.
At the same time as the tourna-
ment there will be a meeting of
school superintendents, high school
and school officers to con
fer on the vital question of teachers
President Tyson reminded every
body that with many strangers in the
city we should make it our special
business to make them welcome, ex-
end the glad hand whether we had |

The district high school basketball
tournament that will be held at the
Coliseum in this city Friday and Sat
urday, is the topic of the greatest
interest to everyone. The school stu
dents and teachers are, of course,
particularly taken up with this big
affair. Every preparation possible
is being made to take care of the
visitors.
This afternoon, several hundred
school students, headed by the school
band, paraded the main business
streets. 1t was Lois Wright's bands
first appearance in public and it Ger
tainly made an excellent impression
on everybody who listened Cheer
music was played and the rooters'
club demonstrated that they are well
prepared to take care of their end
of the show.
Explains Tourney
Superintendent Livingston was
present at the monthly commercial
club meeting last night and talked
about the basketball tournament.
He explained quite fully the arrange
of the plans, stating that they were
almost entirely in the hands of off
cials at Bozeman, one of whom will
be here to personally take charge of
the tournament and referee the
games. Mr.. Livingston stated that
he had heard from Harlem, that on
account of sickness the Harlem team
could not come. The teams will ar

The events that will make March

be called a green letter day, in Wolf
Point, are rapidly taking shape. The
top line attraction and the reason
for allthe rest of it will be, as already
announced, the opening of the en-
larged Sherman hotel. The whole
town, by the time the date arrives,
will be enthusiastically working with
Mr.. Moore and the hotel company to
make the day grand success. The
Commercial Club, at a recent meet
ing of the directors, took hold of the
matter in earnest, and seven COM

different features of the days pro-
gram. These committees are:

LIVELY CLUB MEETING
Community Fair Boosted-Gits Elec-
ted-Those Who Can't See the
''Point" May Feel 1t

The monthly general meeting of
the commercial club was held at the
Masonic hall last evening. 1t was
attended by about forty members.
President Tyson was in the chair.
Secretary Foor read the minutes of
the annual meeting held at the Sher-
man hotel, January 6.
The election of a director for one
year to finish the term of DR.. L. w.
Day who has removed from the city,
was taken up as one of the first mat
ters of the evening Nominations
were made by ballot, it being agreed
that the three hihgest names would
be considered the nominees. The
ballot resulted in nominating John
IF. Cook, Joe Klinkhammer and Ed.
GIFTS. A second ballot was taken,
which resulted in the election of
Mr.. GIFTS.
The secretary stated that the di-
rectors had begun work on a plan to
hold a community fair in Wolf Point
next fall The permanent committee
in charge of the work is G. L. Koch,
Glen Vinson and Fred Rathert.
Mr.. Foor outlined the community
fair idea, as exhibits of all sorts of
farm products, field, garden and
dairy, also live stock with suitable
premiums offered by the business
houses of the city. The fair would
be planned to last two days, he said,
with probably some entertainment
features, but essentially the fair
would be agricultural and designed
to interest the people on the farms
and stimulate the growing and man
of better and better pro-
ducts.
County Agent F. J. Chase was
present and Mr.. Foor called on him
for his ideas on the community fair.
Mr.. Chase expressed himself as en-
5husiastic over the idea. If directed
n the right way, he is sure that it
would be of great benefit to the
'armers and would bring the town
md country people into a closer un-
and create real mutual
interest between them. He advised
hat prizes for country club or neigh
,orhood exhibits be offered to build
p interest through friendly rivalry
f different communities.
1t is the plan that the community
air be held earlier than the county
air and that the prize-winning ex-
ibits be exhibited at the county
air.

FULLER COMPANY GETS
SHIPMENT OF DODCES

Manager F. H. Bissell of the Fuller
Motor Company is highly pleased at
receiving on Monday of this week
q carload of new Dodge touring cars.
He considers that the local house is
very furtunate to be able to get these
cars at this time on account of the
strong demand in the east and the
fact that production is not yet back
to the normal figure. The 1929
Dodge is practically the same as be-
fore, the Dodge being one of the cars
that has found very little to improve
since the original model was placed
on the market. Mr.. Bissell states
that orders have already been book
ed for most of the new cars received.

During the final fve-minute play
off period, the contest was quite easy
for the visitors. They scored four
baskets to one field goal and free
throw from foul by the locals.
Nobody is complaining over losing
to this kind of a team. They are a
fine, clean, sportsmanlike bunch of
fellows and mighty good basketball
players of long experience, Captain
Blume having played on the Ham
line (Minn.) U team for five years.
F. H. Livingston refereed the
game and did first class, satisfac-

BEAUTIFUL FIGHT
DECIDED ON POINTS
Bear Cats and Wolves Each Win a
Round-Cats Take Long End
No Fatalities

! The Wolves went to Havre Tues
day night and met the Bear Cats in
a two-round match Wednesday eve
ming. The result of the mill adds
weight to the oft-repeated assertion
that the Cats cannot be beaten in
their own town with their own ref
cree. In the first round, with the
Bear Cats manager, Raymond, ref
ereeing the bout, the Havre scrap
pers won the honors of the period,
26 to a. The Wolves were game but
outclassed at the style of fighting
that seems to be in vogue in the
Bear Cats home Several of the
Wolves almost took the count on
several occasions, and were obliged
to clinch to avoid punishment.
In the second round it was agreed
to allow Wolf Point to pick the ref
cree, the Havre pugilists being GER
tain that they had a safe lead. Pou-
der, one of the Wolf squad, oficiated
and was fair and square according
to the claims of his teammates. He
refereed the fight as he saw it, called
fouls on both sides impartially. The
result Of this round favored the
Wolves on points, 20 to 10. They
were not so good with upper cuts
and solar plexus jabs, but there hap
pened to be in the ring an object
called basketball, with which they
showed considerable skill in scoring
points. The final score was 80 to "a.
The local team returned this morn
ing. None of the members is actu-
ally minus any limbs, but it is not
certain that there are not few
fractured bones. Of blue, black
and bruised spots there are plenty
n evidence.

The Minot players played a cool,
crafty, waiting game, seeming to
feel certain that they could tire and
wind their faster opponents. In the
second half the Minot captain put in
Jacobson at forward and switched
a guard to a forward position, giving
them practically two fresh forwards,
and this did the business. In spite of
all that the Wolves could do, the A.
L. men crept up and tied the score.

oui the cause. An examination showed
that on the basis of the dry hide IN

alumina unhaired with difficulty, while
the portions containing 100 per cent
could not be unhaired even on the

had been used in sailing the hides and
had set the hair.
This incident illustrates the impor-
lance of attention to details in the
handling and curing of hides and
skins. Farmers. country butchers and
dealers are advised by the department
TO use only clean. pure salt in sailing
