The new social club. the "Qui
Vive," was organized at the residence
of John Windsor last Friday night,
and an evening of enjoyment and
profit resulted. Ne officers were
elected as follows: John Sheffield,
president; Mrs. Arch Eldridge, vice
president; Miss Mamie Lou Hawkins,
secretary. 1t was decided that the
club should meet every Tuesday
night at the homes of the different
lady members, and the program for
each successive evening arranged by
the hostesses of that particular oc-
casion.
The Americas Club will give Ger
man at their rooms on Forsyth street
next Wednesday night complimentary
to the visiting young ladies. This
promises to be a very swell affair,
as the town will be filled with lovely
visitors from all parts of the state.
The movement to establish a
branch of the S. P. C. A. is receiving

If we could get cotton out of the
trenches by Christmas there would be
considerable rejoicing in the South,
and particularly Sumter county
where 10000 bales are still held UNI
sold. But the last crop estimate is
in, ginnings are practically complete,
the international situation is improv-
ing faster than anyone had dared
hope, and altogether there are midi
cations that the market will continue
to improve with the new year. Many
believe 20-cent cotton again is not
far distant.

MEMORIAL EXERCISES
LARGELY ATTENDED

The spacious Liberty theatre was
well filled by the audience that came
out to attend the exercises held in OBJ
servance of Memorial Day. The pro-
gram began at 80 with prelude
by the orchestra. R. R. Knowlton,
of the Memorial Day committee, pre-
sided at the gathering and gave a
most appropriate and thoughtful talk
at the opening.
After the invocation by Rev. Hays,
a quartet composed of Mrs. Flint,
Mrs. Tice, DR.. DeWane and F. j..
Williams sang "The Vacant Chair. )"
Later in the program they sang
''Tenting Tonight" both numbers be-

The State Convention of
Women $ Federated Clubs

Mrs. j. F. Cook, who represented
the Woman's Civic League at the
State Federated club convention at
Butte May 26 to %, says that the
three days were packed full of in
spirational meetings. This was the
seventeenth convention held in the
state and probably the best ever held
here. At the opening session there
were more than 800 delegats pres
ent from lot federated clubs. There
are more than 5000 federated club
women in the state, and these women
are banded together working for
broad, humanitarian measures.
Endorses Good Measures
Were it possible to do so The Her
aid would like to reprint at length
the accounts of the convention given
in the Butte and Anaconda papers
last week, which classed that gather
ing as one of the biggest news events
of the week and devoted whole pages
to stories of the meetings and talks.
However, a brief resume of the reso-
lutions will show what the federated
club women are working for. Most
important are Americanization, child
welfare, adequate. care and protec-
ion of motherhood, the establish
nent of national department of edu-
cation, better conditions for farm
through the extension of gov
srnment aid, speedy assistance and
with wounded soldiers, ,,
promotion of better music and art,
'educe national armament and urg-
ID especially cooperation with other
to bring this about. The
Shepard -Towner bill was endorsed as
written, and the Kenyon
ill which would bunch the depart
nent of education up with that of
griculture and health was condemn
d.
The clubs of the state are sending
hree girls, who would not otherwise I
ave the opportunity, to college. One
f them, Miss Mathews, who grad
ates this month gave a talk. Miss
Elizabeth Allen of Helena will take
er place next year.

during the early innings. Ross, the
visiting pitcher was bumped with
considerable regularity but stayed
the full session. Captain Williams
port side delivery kept the Daniels
county crew guessing SO that they
were never able to bunch their hits
sufficiently to stack up serious re-
suits on the score board.
The locals played consistent
game at all nine of the stations, the
work of Knorr and Busby standing
out prominently. Jensen sprained an
ankle in the eighth and was replaced
by Cliff Cook.
A couple of old leaguers, Flint and
Rae, refereed the affair. The fans
tried to create a little extra fun by
starting roasting bee but the offic-
ials would not talk back SO the rag
fest fizzled.

MARKING THE P. R.
TRAIL TO SCOBEY
ACTUAL WORK WILL BE BEGUN
BY CLUB MBERS-OTHER
TOWNS WILL HELP

The actual work of marking the
Powder River Trail will be begun by
members of the Commercial club of
this city tomorrow.
Two cars carrying materials and
tools and crew of five memo. t.
Stennes, F. w. Bleck, o. c. Johnson,
John Cook and Grover Blake will
leave early in the morning headed
north. 1t is the intention to do as
much of the marking between here
and Scobey as possible and reach
Scobey by evening where a public
meeting has been called to work out
cooperative plans for getting the
trail marked to Moose Jaw. 1t is
the intention to complete the work
on the return trip, Saturday. 1t is
expected that one or more represen-
tatives from Moose Jaw will attend
the Scobey meeting. Scobey men
have shown the right spirit toward
the enterprise, the county surveyor
in particular having rendered his as
to the local committee work
ing on the project.
There is evidence of genuine inter
est in the towns along the course laid
out for the trail The local club,
which is sponsoring the undertaking,
feels that the time is ripe to start
the work of marking and enlist other
towns. The marking alone means
work and expense.
The idea of north and south trail
originated last year with Secretary
Foor and the directors Of the club.
The first plan was for trail from
Moose Jaw to Miles City but the idea
las grown, as the cities south of here
oined in, until it is now expected to
extend the trail to Denver and even
ually clear to the Gulf. The need
# north and south trails is felt more
han ever before and the Powder
River Trail can be expected TO stead
ly grow to route of Importance if
| fair amount of effort is put forth
~ the towns it will benefit.
The federal government has taken
ognizance of the necessity of high
ways extending over north and south
curses and is doing preliminary
york for their encouragement.

new YORK LIFE MAKES
SENSATIONAL PICTURE

New York life to the very core is
the essence of the famous Fox melo-
drama while New York Sleeps"
which will delight the patrons of the
Liberty theatre; where this much her
aided 1921 Cinemelodrama of Night
Life in New York" will be portrayed.
There is so much to be said in ia
for of this remarkable picture that
much will have to go unsaid. Space
does not permit an extensive review,
but there are certain points in con-
nection with its construction and ex-
ecution that cannot, with justice to
the producers, go unmentioned.
In the first place, Director Charles
j. Brabin, who staged the picture, has
hit upon the unusual and extremely
effective method of telling his story
in three parts. Three living chapters
from the Book of Fate are told with
a terrific punch and heart interest.
So entangled do the threads of the
plot become in the comparatively
short period of time allowed each
episode that a logical denouement,
from the spectators viewpoint, seems
well-night impossible. And yet Di-
rector Brabin does it-with dex-
terity that is so superior to other
plays of this kind as to put this pro-
duction in a distinct class of its own.
Among the unusual points of in
terest with which the picture is over
flowing is a gorgeous scene from
Florenz Ziegfeld's Midnight Frolic
show, exquisite scenes from the Cafe
Pals Royal and thrilling pistol bat
tie between the New York police and
a band of river thieves, which occurs
On East River within the shadow of
the celebrated Brooklyn Bridge. In
-eresting glimpses of New York's
Gay White Way" and some excel
ent shots of the famous New York
skyline serve as an atmospheric back
ground for the action.
The cast is composed of Estelle
Taylor, Marc MacDermott, Harry
Southern, William Locke and Earl
Metcalfe while New York Sleeps
will be the featured attraction at the
Liberty theatre next Thursday and
Friday.

SEEKS RELIEF FOR
THE HOMESTEADER
SEN. MYERS INTRODUCES RESO-
LUTON TO GIVE RESERVA-
TION SETTLERS TIME

Senator Henry L. Myers has sent
copies of his joint resolution, that
was introduced in the senate May 26,
to c. F. Blaich and writes that it is
the best measure for the relief Of the
Fort Peck reservation settlers that
would have any prospect of passing
congress. He says he has given much
thought to the problem, and the ex-
tension of time provided by his reso-
luton is, in his opinion, as far as
congress can be persuaded to go and
he is not sure that it will pass. The
senator has proven his sympathy for
the settlers by his long continued eff
forts to aid them.
The resolution is printed in full:

Sanitarium Too Small

One of the interesting parts of the
convention was the visit to Galen
tuberculosis sanitarium, the occasion
being the dedication of the Elinor
Walsh Memorial cottage for women
there. An impressive program was
given, at which one of the speakers
brought out the fact that every state
institution is crowded to capacity and
that each one is inadequate to take
care of the number that should be
In it. Galen can take care of only go,
and there are more than 500 tuber-
cular people in the state who desire
admittance. There is no ward there
for children, and because of this
many parents are compelled to see
their children suffer without being
able to give them a chance at health
and life, that they might have had
with the proper treatment. Every
club woman in the state has contri-
buted 60 or more cents toward the
Elinor Walsh Memorial. These are
ten returned soldiers at Galen, and
Mrs. Cook says that they have their
classes and lessons daily.
One of the most important speak
ers ON the program was Mrs. t. G.
Winter of Minneapolis, president of
the National Federation of Women's
Clubs. She said, "The danger of
America is not bolshevism, but slug
gishness. Then she went on to show
hat the future welfare of the nation
'ests equally upon the shoulders of
he men and women, and pointed out
hat it is the duty of women not to
hirk the responsibility of their citi-
.enship. Speaking of the home, she

"Crime and Criminals" was deliv-
cred twenty-five times in Southern
cities during the month of April.
Every meeting was a success educa-
tionally and financially. Every COM
mittee asked for return date. Every
audience was enthusiastic and una
nimous in approval of the work be-
ing done by Mrs. O'Hare. With one
or two exceptions the local news
papers gave full and fair reports and
approval. The tour closed with meet
ings before the North Church Forum,
Cleveland, Ohio, and at Oberlin,
Ohio, before an audience composed
of faculty members and students of
Oberlin College.
This lecture has a splendid effect
in restoring normal conditions in
communities which still suffer from
war psychology.
A large guarantee was necessary
to secure this lecture and tickets are
now on sale by members of the labor
at the very moderate
price of 25c Men and women of all
walks and all shades of political per-
suasion owe it to themselves to hear
this eminent and able speaker who
deals in facts and information that
all should be willing to learn.
Mrs. O'Hare has daughter, Kath-
een, aged IA, who is travelling with
ner mother during this vacation.

MRS. MONTGOMERY
CALLED in DEATH
BEAUTIFUL LIFE ENDS PEACE
FULLY AT THE HOME AT
TER LONG ILLNESS

A wave of sorrow such as is sci
dom so wide spread and deeply felt
passed over the city Tuesday morn
when the word was passed that Mrs
( Montgomery had succumbed to the
] illness that had its beginning consid-
erably more than a year ago. The
malady was diagnosed as Addison's
disease which affects the blood, turn
ing it to water and causing increas-
ing weakness.
The end came at 1911 a. m. af-
ter an unconscious period that had
lasted since the evening before.
Death came in its most peaceful and
painless form. Respiration gradually
grew weaker and the pulse fainter
until the thread of life was severed.
AS the spirit departed something like
benign smile spread over the noble
features.
All members of the family were at
home except two sons, Gordon and
John, who arrived Thursday a. m.
from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
At two o'clock p. m. Thursday the
casket was brought from the home
on Dawson street to the Presbyterian
church accompanied by large num-
Der of members of the Eastern Star
and members of the Masonic order.
All stood in open ranks with heads
bowed as the mortal evidence of the
one was born tenderly to
its place before the altar by the five
sons, Harvey, Lloyd, Gordon, John
and Winfield, and Morris Listerud.
Over the casket and all about it
were banks of flowers and ferns and
plants in -:.el profusion, the unit
ed tribute Of love of many friends.
The church was more than filled
by those who came to pay their last
respects and listen to the words of
one who knew better than they the
rare qualities Of the one called to her
final home. 1t was a simple but most
service-an hour neces-
sarily of sadness but rich in the bles-
sings of consolation.
A quartet, Mrs. A. K. Tice, Mrs.
Kenneth King, DR.. ]. c. DeWane and
?. j. Williams sweetly sang Lead
Kindly Light and Rock of Ages, and |
Mrs. Tice sang solo.
Rev. VIM. H. Evans, now pastor
If the Presbyterian church at Red
lake Falls, Mimi, preached the SER
non and Rev. S. McIvor of the local
.hurch read from the scriptures and
'ffered prayer.
Rev. Evans, who filled the Wolf
Point pulpit for five years, was for
many years the pastor of the
hurches in the Inkster-Orr, N. D.
district, the former home of the
montgomery family. As a lonely,
riendless boy Mrs. Montgomery
nothered him and inspired him to
eek the path of righteousness and
ervice. Taking the text from ST.
dark: "She Hath Done What She
,ould," Rev. Evans preached with
