BUYING STARS IS NEW
SPORT IN NEW YORK CITY
BY Henry IL. Farrell.
Omitted Press Corespondent)

New York, Feb. 26.-Pennant win
ners in the American League and
worlds champions for 1921-the
New York Yankees.
The Woolworth Building may
shrink to two stories over night, the
Hudson river might be drained by an
armless man with a seive, Gran. s
Tomb might be turned into saloon.
Countless other strange things
might happen, but the strangest OF
ell would be to see the Yanks fail to
sweep the baseball field clean next
season.
Why?
Look at this team:
Pitchers, Coveleskie, Mails, WAL
ter Johnson, Kerr, etc.; catG5 ers,
Ray Schalk, Steve >ONeil and Per-
kins; infielders, Judge. Sisler, Collins.
Wamby, Scott, Peckinpaugh, Ward,
Gardner; outtielders, Rice, Ruth,
Ross, jacobson and Hooper: assist
ant managers, Cobb and Speaker
True, they aren't all on the Rup-
rertHuston pay roll yet. But give
'em time. Plenty Of days remain yet
before the season opens and numer-
GUS trades are in the process OF max
ing.
New York sport writer's have put
Gotham fans through the tradin Pest
winter in history.
Practically every star player in the
American League has been mention
ed one or more times in some kind
CT a proposed deal just about closed
by Manager Muggins.A
Scribes in other cities of the
circuit have risen up in wrath
against the practice Of making news
that is causing some Of the star play
ars In rumored deals to become dis
satisfied. Some writer's assert it is
an inspired campaign.
A writer in Sporting News goes
SO far as to recommend that New
York be thrown out of both leagues.
The Giants have also figured prom
inently in the rumored trade actiy-
tiles. Rabbit Maranville. Heinie
Groh, Rogers Hornsby and Eddis
Roush were announced as almost
sure acquisitions to the ranks of. the
National League club during the
Winter. But so far they have
not been secured and their chances
Of : coming DO not look worth the
price Of a czar's penny.
However, the Brooklyn Robins
were Cpared.' Uncle Robby pulled a
real surprise when he traded Mar
GUARD for Reuter- without q month s
campaign in the columns.
The Yanks have done lot Of trad
ing and they look stronger on paper.
The Giants really have been trying to
get a good infielder but the Robins
seem content to send the same candi-
dates out to repeat last years VIC

Early the forest elm is bowed by

and takes the shape Of the curving

Pastors often find much trouble
in bringing all the members of the
congregation to rally to the support
Of the church. Some will always lag;
others will not be convinced by the
most convincing arguments. Now an
Oklahoma genius, so the papers in
form US, has invented a collection
box that will surely raise the coin. If
member drops in a quarter or a
coin Of higher Value there is silence.
If it is dime bell rings; a nickel
sounds whistle, and a penny fires a
blank cartridge. If any one pre-
, tends to be asleep when the box is
passed it awakens him with watch
mans rattle and a kodak takes his
picture.
In the language Of the day, this is

RUMOR OF SUICIDE
WITHOUT FOUNDATION

The persistent rumors of case OF
suicide near Lustre circulated the
early part of the week appear to be
without foundation. A man named
Alonzo Taylor, so, residing in the
Glasgow country was accidentally
shot by his Ia year old daughter who
was investigating how an automatic
pistol works. The bullet passed
through lung but he is reported to
be recovering at Glasgow hospital.
1t is probable that a case of death
by shooting that occurred near Red
water, east of Circle, was responsible
for the Lustre rumors, as man from
the southside was at Lustre and told
of the death at Redwater.
The McCone county death is told
of in last weeks Circle Banner, as
follows:
"This community was deeply shock

seven-thirty when Dave James rode

WOMEN'S LEAGUE TO
REPEAT CARNIVAL

At meeting of the Woman's Civic
League last evening it was decided
to have another carnival or play this
year. The all-day carnival which was
held June 80, 1920 proved such a
success that many people have ex-
pressed the wish that it might be re-
peated, and so the Civic League la
dies are making plans for a similar
carnival this year.
While definite plans have not been
made, the program of the day will
probably include parade, dinner,
afternoon program, ball game and
dance, and in addition there may be
a program of sports for children at
which prizes will be offered
The date of the carnival cannot
be decided until it is known whether
or not the Commercial club is going
to put on a Fourth of July celebra-
ton. The majority of the women
present at the meeting last evening
preferred having the celebration on
the Fourth if there is no other cele-
bration planned. Business houses
will be invited to have floats in the
parade and the Indians will also be
extended an invitation to take part.

BLIND WIVES" A PHOTO
PLAY OF GREAT POWER

''Blind Wives a special film ver-
sion of Edward Knoblock's famous
play, "My Lady's Dress" will open
at the Liberty theatre next Thurs
day for a two day run. 1t is Will
liam Fox production, 'and said to be
most lavish and spectacular.
"My Lady's Dress" as a stage
play, was a tremendous success in
New York, London and Paris, and
many followers of the stage and
screen declare it has gained in at
traction through it's adaptation to the
screen. Certainly it is rich material
for the film. It's five episodes-each
complete in itself and each having
its own joy, or tragedy, or thrill
lend themselves to colorful photo
graphy and fine emotional acting.
The screen critics declare "Blind
Wives" is one Of the biggest and
most thrilling pictures William Fox
has put on the screen.

The decision reached several
weeks ago by Great Northern officials
to make Wolf Point headquarters for
the Montana division, and consolidate
the Havre and Wolf Point offices
here, will be carried into effect May
18th when the dispatchers will begin
the operation of trains between Will
liston and Havre from this Office.
The force of superintendent and
department clerks will not leave Hav-

pie will leave the Havre office. Some

the Great Falls offices. Some of the
EMPLOYEES at this office will be dis
placed by those who have seniority
rights over them, but the force at
this office will be increased from the
present number.
P. w. Doles, at present chief dis
hatcher at Havre, will become assls-
