YOUR HOME TOWN

There is something the matter with the man who doesn't care for the place he lives in; who doesn't come back to it with some degree of rapture and relief: The world citizen who boasts that any place he hangs his hat is his home misses one ol
 the first and strongest incel.
 tives to decency and duty which is the desire to win the general esteem and gooC opinion of the community in which one dwells. No reward in money compares in value with the golden treasures oi a good repute. II a man cheats and lies and steals and bears false witness, he may build up a great fortune and still be plagued at night with the knowledge that the ones about him hold a low opinion of his worth and his work. Dr. Elliot of Harvard has told us that it is the fa- vorable opinion of a mans home town thatis worth earn irs and retaining. One of the ne'ghbors might be wrong; but if we take the summa- tion of what many are say ing we probably shall arrive at a just estimate.
 Merely to live in a place doesn't make one a citizen, Your heart will be where your work has been put into help forward any good thino that is going. Of course, one must be true to the immedi- ate family circle and look we'll to the rooftree and the dooryard of ones own house hold first of all. But the in innate indoor devotion, con- nlendable as it is, may, be- come a selfish sentiment that takes no thought for thosc measures of public welfare in whose benefit we all share Fault-finders stand ready with harsh censure and snar judgment upon what the toll CTS are doing. The toilers arc too busy doing the work oi the fault finders. They can not stop to explain. What every plantation of human beings is in need of, if it is to flourish, is a grodp of men who love others better than they love their own ease and quiet and spend themselves in selfi,h endeavor. No. man gets the name of civic pat riot by doing things simply for himself. He must serve the public interest in the gen eral good, not in. his own pocket; while the range of charity may cover the whole world, it should, in the home ly phrase, 'come home to ro0st," in his own town Philadelphia Ledger.

Mr.. Van Loan, the author OF The
Great Redeemer", struck up the ac-
auaintance in Los Angeles with the
pardoned Mexican, and from him OBJ
tanned the story which he incorporat-
ed in his screen drama.
This he embellished with strong
counterplot and some splendid love
interest, and the finished production
is said to possess great strength and
uncommon interest. House Peters
and Marjorie Daw are the chief play
ers in the all-star cast which inter-
prets "The Great Redeemer."Mr. Pet
ers plays Dan Malloy two-gun bad
man who is regenerated. Miss Daw
is the girl whose noble example flrst
starts Dan on the right path.

Southside Farmers
Public Statement

1t having come to the notice of the
undersigned that the Wolf Point Pro
moter is promoting a scheme to s'aid''
the unfortunate farmers of the
Southside, we take this means of pub
licly stating that we do not relish be-
ing put on the charity list for public
aid
So far, we have been able to pay
our legitimate expenses, including
ferry tolls. We are confident that we
can continue to do so. If wheat
should get so low in price that it is
not worth hauling, we have eggs, but
ter and Ignite coal to fall back on.
This benevolent work so .nobly un-
dertaken by this newly arrived edit
or calls forth no gratitude from US.
We are not deceived for one min
ute. 1t is plain to all that the mis-
sion of the Promoter in Wolf Point
is to stir up as much trouble as pos
sible, and we, as friendly neighbors
of the town, strenuously object to
being included in the program of pro-
paganda, regardless of how anxious
the editor is to make good on his job.
We got along on terms of friend
ship and cooperation with the busi-
ness men and Commercial club of
Wolf Point good many years before

the editor of the Promoter arrived
and horned into the responsibility OF
organic ne aid in our behalf
We may appear easy but we are
not fooled in the least-the persist
ent efforts being made to drive from
the river reliable ferryman who
served us faithfully, long before the
Promoters ferry came up the river,
we recognize as distinctly unfriendly
and opposed to our interests. If
the charitable editor and the .'busi-
nessmen," who are so ready with
their assistance, are anxious to bu.
gas and Gil, they should at least di-
vide their favors between the two
ferries.
In stating our attitude in these
matters we are confident that we
speak not only for ourselves but for
large percentage of the Southside
farmers.
In conclusion we desire to say that
we called at the Herald office of our
own accord, in a body and especially
requested that this statement be con-
published.-U. V. Hubbard

"CREAT REDEEMER"
TAKEN FROM LIFE

Maurice Tourneur's great screen
production, "The Great Redeemer,
which is to be shown at the Liberty
Theatre for run Of two days be-
ginning next Thursday tells story
that is so absorbing and thrilling that
persons who behold it will inevitably
conclude that it is fiction that 1t
never could have happened IN real
life.
Such is, in fact, not the case.
While 1.-The Great Redeemer' was
written by H. H. Van Loan and is in
the main a work Of the imagination,
it's central theme is taken direct from
life. 1t embodies an incident that
happened in a prison at st. Bernard
ino, CAL, two years ago. A Mexican
was serving fifteen years there for
manslaughter. On the wall OF his
cell he painted picture of the Cruel
fxion. 1t was a painting whose beau
ty attracted attention all over the
state
AS direct result of the influence
of this painting the Mexican was gran
ted pardon by the governor OF the
state and is now professional artist,
making living in Los Angeles.
The painting of The Crucifix1on
photographed in the production OF
"The Great Redeemer' is a copy OF
that on the wall of the Mexican's cell
in San Bernardino. Priests who we're
interested in the Tourneur production
because of it's powerful appeal to the
finest qualities in its beholders, saw
the painting and requested that it be
given to them to be hung in their
church. This request Mr.. Tourneur

q Montana grain has demonstra-
ted its superiority many times

flour produced in this city from
wheat grown in the country tri-
y butary to Wolf Point is second
to none. With steadily increas-
Z ing market and the large amount
Z of wheat available the future of
9 the flour milling industry here is
4 bright. Our flour mill is work
z ing every day from a. m. until
q p m. and turns out 5000
Z pounds of flour daily besides
Z mill feed. A big exchange trade
4 is done with farmers and the
Y mill does quite a large business

ESOTA-MANY NEW MEM
BERS-GOOD MOTTO

A meeting of the Commercial clut
was held in the club rooms on Tues
day evening at which 0. c. johnson
president, and Directors J. L. Davey
H. A. Schoening, George H. Flint and
0. t. Stennes were present.
Secretary Gordon read commune
cations to the club from Commissioner
of Indian Affairs Burke, U. S. Sen
ators Myers and Walsh and also let
ters from Cangressmen Mccormick
and Riddick relative to the matter
of regulations of grazing on reserva-

The committee appointed to in
Ivestigate the matter of marketing po-
tatoes grown in the country tributary
to this city reported progress. 0. T..
Stennes read letter from Mr.Arnt
Opgrand, wholesale potato buyer of
Halstead, Mimi, stating that he had
cleaned up buying the potato crop
around Halstad and asking how the
potato crop was out here. If he re-
cieved favorable answer, he wrote
that he would leave for this city at
once. Mr.. Stennes replied by letter
and also wired him to come, and that
the potato crop had been unusually
good this year. This means that in
all probability potato buyer and
eventually warehouse will be on
hand at Wolf Point.
Various other matters were dis

LOCAL WHEAT IS

YIELD YET HEARD

A southern Minnesota man, who

aid, went to the Stennes- -McConnon
store and examined the splendid
white dent corn and turned green with
envy. He said it made him blue to
think of his $3.50 land that wouldn't
raise corn as good as this grown on
S25 land in Montana. This story is
not too highly colored, it is the truth.
SO are these, picked up from L. L.
jenkins, manager of the Imperial
Elevator. Mr.. jenkins sent to Mimi
eapolis a sample of Marquis wheat
wheat raised by I. 0. Jorgenson Of
the Southside country, near Vida.
After carefully testing the sample
his house reported that it was the
heaviest wheat of its variety and
grade, Dark Hard Northern, Marquis,
ever tested at the Minneapolis board
of trade-66 pounds to the bushel.
The kernels are almost as round as
shot and every one perfect. The
yield was not remarkably large, a.
bout % bushels.
Mr.. jenkins also reports that Mar
quis wheat wheat raised by ]. ] Stone of
the Southside tested 65 pounds. On
all such wheat the dockage is only
per cent.
Record Yields
The record for yields, so far as
heard go to John Prokopchuk, who
lives about 20 miles southeast. A
four-acre patch that was in garden
and potatoes last year turned out
1876 bushels or 40 bushels to the acre
and tested 65 pounds to the bushel.
The Herald would be glad to hear
of other good farm product yields,
they equal these or not.
Good farm and crop pictures are also
desired.

new grazing resolutions for live
stock on the reservation.-Ro
Reid, President Live Stock Assn.
Mr.. Robert Reid,
Poplar, Montana.
Dear Sir:
Referring to resolution dated
September oath, by the Fort Peck
Livestock Association, you are advis-
ed that this office is willing to waive
the fence clause in grazing leases.
have carefully considered the condlt-
ions and find that owing to the scat
tered allotments and tribal land that
it would be hardship on many home
steaders to fence these areas where
the leases could be made on annual
terms only. To this arrangement
however l could not bind this office
further than the year November 1921
to November 1922
Your association is conversant
with the facts as brought out in the
meeting of September oath. State
ments of many members present
clearly showing that they had failed
to properly compensate the Fort Peck
Indians for the use of their land.
Trespassing
Your attention is invited to the
fact that the Federal law provides a
penalty for any white person trespas-
sing stock of any nature on Indian
land whether tribal or allotted with
out proper lease or permit and 1T ap-
pears from the statements of large
number present at the meeting refer
red to that a large number OF horses
es and cattle have been trespasslng
on Indian lands as contemplated IN
this statute without having the pro-
per permit or lease. Your associat-
ion must understand thhat my poslt-
ion requires that the lands Of these
Indians whether tribal or allotted IN
severality must be protected from
such unlawful trespassing and fur
ther that | collect a proper revenue
from those owners of such stock That
are running on the reservation. This
is a duty imposed on me by law and
one which must fulfill without re-
gard to those affected. AS stated to
your members l am perfectly willing
as representing these Indians to meet
you in the proper manner and under
such conditions and regulations as
will work no personal hardships, but
at. the same time must insist that the
debts of the settlers or other persons
running cattle on Indian land be paid
and | will not countenance the run
ming of stock by any person other
than an allotted Indian of this tribe
On Indian land without they first
procure lease or permit.
Payment of Fees

sact that many of its members have
