How Firestone Maintains Quality at
the Lowest Price Level
In Tire History
New Prices Effective May End, 1921

seven high grade car manufacturers use
il as standard equipment. 1t is a quality
cl.o;oe among Cord Tire users.
A 30x31a Inch Non.Skid Tire at $l3.9S
Plant No. concentrates exclusively on
the ,ox3H inch Fabric Tires and Tubes.
1t is conceded to be the most efficient
manufacturing unit of its kind here,
without waste motion, 10000 tires and
10000 tubes may be produced in a day.
In April the output was 1900 tires a
day.
Fircstone dealers help make this Si595

the lowest price ever made on a standard
3ox3H iuch Non-Skid.

AT this time, when the tire industry has
revised prices to the lowest level in tire
history the car owner asks can quality
be maintained?" "Work can with CAPT.

Fircstonc emphatically answers-YES!
Not only has Firestone quality been
maintained it has been raised to the
highest point in twenty years OF tire
building.
And here is why: Fircstonc is the largest
exclusive tire company in the world. 1t
is "A single purpose organization, with

Cliffside Defeats
Ridgewood in 10th

In their first extra inning game of
the season Cliffside defeated Ridge
wood in the tenth inning last Satur-
day afternoon at the local High School
field.
GiantOnio was in superb form and
had pitching duel with the Ridge
wood captain. The former made six
teen strikeouts, while the latter turned
Clffside batters back to the bench.
Cliffside was first to score, but it
was not long before the visitors tied
the score and made another. They
held this lead until the last half of the
eighth, when COrriston, first man up,
doubled and scored when Whelan with
two out hit to the Ridgewood left
fielder, who made an error.
Both teams were held scOreless in
the ninth, and Ridgewood kept from
scoring in the tenth.
In Cliffside part of the tenth Cor
reston, first man up, singled and was
left there, while Morbelli retired

Fiiftty-Seven Years Ago

'You tell that dommed fool, he will get his heid
knocked off,"
The speaker was an old Scotchman standing excited
and Indignantly angry outside the fence enclosing field
of ripe wheat The time ffty-seven years ago
the place Toronto Canada.
The object of Old Sandy's wrath and concern was
man seated the first grain reaper that country had
lseen The about to start the wonderful contrvance
WAS the salesman who brought it into the neighborhood
and what the old Scochman feared that the revolving
rakes would fly off tangent from their regular orbit
and collide with the reckless drivers head Harvest and
the modern implements that go with it recalled the Incl
dent in the memory of Joseph Montgomery of this city,
as it occurred on his fathers farm.
They had field of wheat just ready to cut and one
afternoon stranger appeared and asked permission to
demonstrate wonderful invention he Introducing
device pulled by horses, that would cut and rake into
bundles much grain five or six men could reap with
cradles Mr. Montgomeys father instantly rejected the
dea saying: Do you suppose would let you into that
fine field of grain knock down and waste it," But
the stranger suave persistent and confident and the
Montgomery boys eager to let the machine be tried
sided with him and finally persuaded their father to con-
sent to trial of the labor saver.
The demonstration set for evening and the sales
man went up and down the highway informing the farm
ers who with their families hurried to the spot this
wonderful machine tried out Most of them skepti
CAL and some including Old Sandy actually afraid
of this devsh conrvance and stayed outside the fence
at safe distance But the machine worked. 1t cut the
wheat and laid in bundles with amazing speed and the
drivers head remained intact his shoulders
AS result Mr. Montgomery, Sr., bought the machine
demonstrated and his sons perssency was rewarded by
having little or no cradng to do that year. More than
that all the farmers of the neghborhood, including
ctable Sandy eventually bought self rake reapers.

INVESTIGATE THE
WOLF POINT DOME
NORTH DAKOTA MEN SAY THE
LOCAL OIL FIELD WILL BE
PROVEN SOON

L. /. Harris, business man, and VIM
Nollman, attorney, of Enderlin, N.
d., have spent several days in Wolf
Point this week and also visited Os-
wego and Poplar. They and num-
Der of other Enderlin business men
are interested in Montana oil lands.
After examining the government re-
ports on this district and looking the
field over. Mr.. Harris stated that he
thought there was no doubt that they
would start drilling operations with
in very few months. He says they
have secured leases on large acre
age and will sink from three to ten
wells to thoroughly test this field.
The express confidence that by 60
ing to the depths indicated by the re-
ports oil will be found Capital, they
say, is the big requisite in testing this
field, and say that the people back of
them are able to finance the under
taking. They found local people quite
ready to render them all assistance
possible in their investigation.

THE PROMOTER SOLD
"A. |. SKARE LEAVES
THIS WEEKS ISSUE TO COME
OUT WITH NEW MAN IN
CHARGER. BURKE

The Wolf Point Promoter has pas
sed into new hands and will appear
this week, it is understood, under
the editorship of Roger Burke.
In last weeks issue of The Promo
ter Editor A. L. Skare announced
the sale and the severing of his con-
nection with the paper. His valedic-
tory will be found on the editorial
page of this issue of The Herald.
The Promoter was first issued on
March 9Th, 1919, with the firm name
of Skare & Mann at the mast head.
Later the firm became Skare &
Whitehead who continued as owners
until the sale last week.
Mr.. Skare states that he intends to
leave the city within short time
and that his address will be Wahpe-
ton, North Dakota. He is a hard
worker and skillful printer and he
and Mrs. Skare will take with them
to their new home the best wishes
of many friends with whom The
Herald wishes to be counted.
Roger Burke, who picks up the edi-
troial quill, is well known in this cor
ner of Montana. He has resided at
Scobey and Plentywood for quite a
number of years and more recently
was at Sidney. Until about three
years ago Mr.. Burke was connected
with the county offices at Plentywood
and was more or less active in poll
tics. Since then for a time he was
one of the proprietors of the Scobey
Sentinel. He is known as a good
newspaperman and brilliant writer.
His ability will no doubt be reflect
ed in the columns of the Promoter
and be turned toward advancing To-
cal interests and the upbuilding of
Wolf Point and its territory through
united community team work.

Polly Pepper went to the circus
Hast Sunday and then she sat down
and wrote her pal, Molly Merrymaker
about it. The Herald happened to
get hold of copy of the letter and
here it is:
Dearest Molly:
was terribly disappointed when
you wrote that you couldn't visit me
during the Stampede and circus.
You sure would have liked the Siam
pede, but the circus was one big
Joke, and kind of an expensive one
too, for the community taken as a
whole and collectively. went with
Jack and he happened to be lucky
enough to have couple of comps
they say the circus people wanted to
be sure of crowd-it being Sunday
and they not knowing just how the
people of the town would take Sun
day performance-so they gave out
bunch of comps and figured that
everyone WIZ WoS SOiiS " 6Ce A'
free would boost a little for Palmer
Bros. And the newspapers had lot
about the wonderful performances,
ETC., and, honest to goodness, l
thought it was going to be almost as
good as Ringling Bros. or Barnum
& Bailey-guess the laugh was on
me for being so credulous.
Oh, You War Tax
They advertised to have the para
de at 1890 but decided it would not
be best just at church time, so they
didn't have it until just before the
performance, and let me tell you a
lot of people went to church that Sun
day to salve their conscientious scru-
pies about going to the circus in the
afternoon, and then after it was all
over they wished their scruples had
kicked a little harder. Why the
whole thing wasn't worth the war
tax alone And speaking of the war
tax, I'm telling you the war fell heav-
ier on some people than on others.
They soaked Jack 18 cents war tax
on each ticket. And then come to
look at the backs Of the tickets they

tanning the official census figures for
all cities in the United States OF
population of 1000 or more, is out.
Al cities and towns in Montana

counties, or 2098. Poplar is the only
other town in Roosevelt county in
the list with 1852. Scobey is shown
with ITO and Sidney with an even
400. Plentywood doesn't quite
come up to the mark.
Butte appears as the largest city
in the state with a population of 41,-
GIL and Great Falls second with a

| it was the truth. They hadn't hard

morning before they started telling
people they could have look at the
pinheads for Is cents squint. 'No,

are too many of them out of captivi-

Lost, Srtayed or Stolen
You know I wrote you that there
were going to be twenty cars. Well,
maybe the circus has that many, but
55 % of the number got lost or stray
ed before they reached Wolf Point.
They also advertised it to be three
ring circus, and there they told the
truth. They had the rings laid out all
right, but most of the time they only
used two of them.
But l am getting ahead of my.
story. We saw the parade, and that
was the best part of the whole show,
for even if their drove of elephants
ha ddwindled to one, they had 8 cam
els, probably realizing that they are
more accustomed to the dessert. The
tigers that were advertised were evi-
IDENTIFY in the lost cars for they didn't
show up. Then after the parade they
announced that there would be free
performance on the show grounds.
There was. A man, his face and
hands and arms rubbed over with
lamp-black, and wearing on his head
a wig that probably at one time
graced the back of a native Mon
tana sheep, came out and waved his
arms in the air and yowled little.
Any respectable Montana Wolf would
have been ashamed not to have done
better.
