Mr.. Lipsey had three and one-half
acres of land in lespadeza the past
year and was so we'll pleased with
the venture that he has decided to
! try it out on a larger scale for him
self, besides many farmers in the
county have become interested and it
is estimated that several hundred
acres will be planted this year. Indi-
cations are that old cotton is going
to receive a set back in this county,
the farmers tuiling their attentions
to other crops that will pay better
than the fleecy staple, which has been
robbing the farmer of his profits for
long number Of years.
A wind storm of unusual velocity
hi5 Carrollton last Thursday evening
about seven o'clock and for a time it
seemed that regular tornado was
upon the town, but within very
short time it passed along without
much damage in this secticn. A large
elm tree in the yard of Dr. S. H. Hill
was blown down, falling directly
across a new buggy belonging to a
Mr.. Drain who was in the city at
tending a meeting of the Woodmen of
the World, and aside from this no
other damage has been reported of
any consequence.

Mr.. W. w. Curry is convalescent
at his home in Carrollton, after being
confined at his home several days of
last week suffering from a slight i'll
hess.
The Woodmen of the World held an

the session of the camp.
Several months ago the Methodists
and Baptists of Carrollton united in
ar effort to increase interest IN their
prayer meeting services and decided
on a union service each Thursday
evening, alternating between the two
churches. This plan is working well,
the attendance growing and increas-
ing interest is manifested at each
service.

BANK OF CUBA HERE
IN STATES HANDS
Agency of Banc0 National
viii Pay in Full. Is :.
Official Belief.

The Banking Department OF the State
OF New York took charge yesterday of
the assets and total resources OF the
Bank OF Cuba in New York, an agency
of the Banco Nacional de Cuba. which
suspended last Saturday. The action is
to liquidate the institution and to pro-
tect depositors.
On October 8, 1920, when the mora
torium in Cuba began. the agency here
had deposits of s1,700.000. but these
have now dwindled to $270,000. The
smaller amount is secured by cash, loans
and discounts for almost double the
amount of outstanding deposits, so off,
cials expect to pay all deposits in full.
The suspension OF the Banco Nacional
de Cuba came in anticipation of in
ability to make the payment OF Is per
cent. of deposits on April 10 under the
notifications of the moratorium. Eff
forts made by this institution to bor-
row in New York failed because of the
lack of collateral satisfactory to meet
the New York market.
Similar efforts to raise funds in the
New York market are alleged to have
been taken by the Banco Espanol and
the Banco Internationale de Cuba, in
stitutions which took advantage OF the
moratorium. Thus far these negotiations
have not been completed.
George V. Mclaughlin, Superintendent
of Banks, issued the following state
ment:
"The Superintendent of Banks of the
State OF New York this day took charge
of the affairs of the Bank Of Cuba in
New York, a bank organized under the
New York State banking law.
"The deposit liabilities are In the
neighborhood OF S2S0,000 and the prin-
cipal number OF the depositors are resi-
dents OF Cuba This banks affairs are
closely connected with the Banco
Nacional de Cuba, which institution sus-
pended business on last Saturday. The
original capitalization Of the Bank OF
cuba in New York was 100000"

Conferences recently held between Of
ficials OF the State Department and rep
resentatives of the National CITY Bank
of New York, the Royal Bank of Cam
ada and American sugar syndicates are
expected to lead to an early arrange
ment that will help to clear up the bad
financial tangle in Cuba. II became
known to-day that Gen. Crowder's pre-
liminary report on the political and eco
nomic situation In Cuba has been re-
ceived by the President and that 1t holds
out hope OF a settlement OF the political
difficulties of the Cubans before Mas i.
the time for the Inauguration of the new
President.
The Collapse Of the sugar market last
fall left the Cuban banks with quantities
Of paper which could not be realized on,
and as the sugar crop is the basis OF
Cuban finances, the Cuban Government
declared a moratorium. A sugar COM
mission was formed of the leading Cuban
producers and American syndicates.
which undertook TO fix a price for the
raw sugar sufficient to give the produc-
ers a reasonable profit and allow them
gradually to get on their feet. but which
would not create purely fictitious mar
set. The State Department has been
acting in an advisory capacity.

SAW THE AUTO SHOW

F. E. Rathert, cashier of the First
State Bank, returned from an east
ern business trip Sunday. He was IN
Minneapolis several days and visited
the big automobile show which he
SAYS was a fine exhibit of everything
in the motor line and said to be ex-
celled by no other show in the coun-
try.
Several retailers conventions were
held at the same time as the auto
show and Minneapolis was swarming
with people. There was evidence Of
spring activity, Mr.. Rathert says, and
things in general look as If better
business conditions can be expected
soon. Quite a movement of settlers
to Montana seems certain and the
Great Northern is doing all it can to
encourage it.

The Wolves, having tasted blood,
were keen to accept Poplar's invita-
ton for a return game Wednesday
night. A crowd of the county seat
fans were at the high school gym and
a good time was had by all. Several
hundred office holders, deputies, sub
deputies, clerks and assistant clerks
as well as a fair representation of
working people were given a forty
minute demonstration of what bas-
ketball really is, as played in Wolf
Point. 1t is said that it was so fast
that even the keenest of the politi-
clans could not follow 1.-THE game"
but the score board revealed the hor-
rid truth-the hated Wolves were
making monkies of the pride and
glory of the village. Basketball is
played in the open, don't cher know.
and they count EN- all, but no more,
and count 'em right. At the end of
the difficulty the board said 80 to IL.
The Poplar fellows are really a
mighty strong team, speedy and
game, but the Wolves were right that
night, nothing like the game here
when Poplar nosed them out by a
single point. Void was again the fair
haired hero with 7 baskets. Beaner

ed next week. They probably have
something up their sleeve-maybe
they'll send for Hurd.

fcers and business in the handling of
the present situation, in trying to
be fair to both carpenters and en-
ployers throughout the state. We
were pleased to be in attendance at
an address given by H. A. Frentz,
formerly of this city, on the union
label and although not a member of
any union he was proud to boast of
having on his person sixteen union
labels on different pieces of wearing
apparel.
To the union men of Wolf Point
who are careless about asking for
union labels and also the business
men who are careless about keeping
them in stock, I am able to say that
Great Falls boasts a store of mems
furnishings where anything in union
made goods can be purchased from
a collar button to a shoestring.
A great~many of the unions thru
out the state are affiliated with the
Montana Federation of Labor and
nearly all the delegates took the lib
erty to remain one day longer to hear
their proceedings. Their work was
practically the same as the carpen-
ters' only on a much larger scale.
There are a great many %unemploy-
ed in Great Falls, the result of the
present hard times. AS the result of
this the merchants, too, are having
hard times for if labor does not earn
business does not sell.
The outlook for the future of Mon
tana seems to depend on the opening
of the money market. The associat-
ed industries seem to want to hinder
instead of aid progress in Montana.
For the benefit of readers of ~associat-
ed press and also of the employed in
Great Falls on account of the pres
ent walkout on city improvements,
do not be quick to condemn laborers
evolved. If this matter had been
taken up in the right be-
tween labor and city government the
working man would have worked for
FIVE dollars or less in order to relieve
the situation if they were appealed
to in the right manner 1t seems that
the mayor and council, who appear
to be tools of associated industries,
instead of explaining to the men the
financial condition of the city and
asking them to work for much less
wages in order to help conditions,
merely told them without warning,
that the wage scale would be lower
ed fifty cents a day. Those men are
loyal citizens of that city but are
just tired of being dictated to by as
ISOLATED industry, who seem bent on
destruction of small business men,
laborers and farmers.
AS a boost for Wolf Point I will say
in conclusion that the rapid growth
of the city is not to be compared
with what I have learned from men
] have met in different parts of the
state and here's hoping that we can
get together and make it a city of
which we all can be proud. In other
