FARM BUREAU DIVIDES
COUNTY INTO DISTRICTS

The farm bureau has divided the
county up into school districts to
cover quite percentage of the coun-
ty in the tuberculosis testing work
within the next few weeks. Men in
each community have been selected
to take charge of the work in one
or more schoo districts.
A rough map has been prepared
and sent to the various agents show
ing the boundaries of their school
district and the owners of the land
within the district, the plan is brief
ly as follows: to test all Of the milk
cows that are either giving milk at
the present time, or are MIXED at
any time during the year, and as
many of the cattle that run with
them in the pasture and fields as
possible. In other words they plan
on testing all dairy cows and as many
stock cattle as possible, but they
VII not insist on testing all of the
stock cattle excepting in such herds
where tuberculosis is found in the
milk stock, in which case all of the
animals in the entire herd would then
have to be tested. If they have
charge of the work in each school
district, and hope to start the work
at an early date.

STORY-WORK COMPANY
HAS ANNUAL MEETING

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Story-Work company
was held Saturday afternoon, with a
large attendance and nearly all the
stock represented either in person or
by proxy. T. B. Story and J. Harry
Haley were reelected directors and
Fred F. Wilson was elected a direc-
tor to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Lester P. Work. The
stockholders seemed to feel that the
affair of the company had been man
aged as we'll as could be expected
under existing conditions Of the past
year, and hopes were entertained fol
better business conditions during the
coming year.

SHUT THE GATES

Anthony Caminetti, commissioner general OF
immigration, returning from extensive study or
the European end of our immigration problem,
points out that propaganda is being circulated
throughout Europe to stimulate emigration to
America He explains that, while American laws
prohibit transportation lines or companies from
silicting immigration, there is no bar to such
solicitation by individuals or organizations not
connected with the transportation business.
Such soliciting is not only being done, but it
is being done with an eXpertneGs OF propaganda
which has spread the belief among ignorant pro-
spectve immigrants that the United States wants
and needs them, and viii do everything possible
to make them welcome. The activities of societies
in this country, similar or allied organizations
abroad, and even of foreign political influences,
contributing to the volume and strength OF the
immigration tide, prove concusivey the insult
ficiency of our present immigration laws
This flood of cheap foreign labor is a menace
to American prosperity and American standards
of living at this time, when more than three
million workers are idle in this country. They are
a dead weight upon industry, either consuming
without producing or forcing Americans into idle
ness by underbidding them in the labor market.
The suggestion of President Wilson, favored by
foreign governments and by American representa-
tives abroad, that admissibility of immigrants
should be determined there to avoid rejection at
Ellis island, might be valuable in normal times
or if no better arrangement were possible. 1t
might even be used now as an emergency measure
while real barrier is being erected. But why
temporiZe?
European immigrants can bring us nothing
we need at this time of reduced industrial activity
They will bring us much we do not need, such as
radcalism, pauper labor, etc. Congress shou
shut off all immigration for period, and do il
now In that period of respite a more permanent
policy may be determined upon.-Chicago Tri-
Oune.

The writer is heartily in sympathy with all
present efforts to make farmers owners of lands
rather than tenants. All reasonable help should
be given to the families who are willing to make
their homes close to nature and at the same time
produce the food for the world The country
should be made safe for the farmer before this
generation passes. But this same idea Of cooper
alton and help where help is fruitful should be
passed on in some form to the city dweller. The
city renter is often as well-meaning and as hard
working a citizen as the farm renter. He too is
producer-of service instead of food-and he
is necessary part of our civilization. Commun-
tiles of renters should organize themselves for
the purpose Of becoming communities of owners
Organization of the right sort would strengthen
credit and allow advantageous and economical
buying of land and building materials. Realizing
that owners are a better risk than renters the
capital of the community would as a general thing
be glad to encourage any practical effort in this
direction. Why not Home Buyers League" fol

BOY ROBBER GIVEN SENTENCE
MONDAY

Continued from Page One)
at about $500. He was sentenced to
six months in jail for that, but at the
end of two months he was paroled on
account of his youth. Later he was
arrested again there on a vagra1cy
charge as he refused to even Try to
get work. He served a 80 day SEN
tence for that.
The boy confessed that he prieG
open the back door of the Rose Drug
company and secured few dollars
in money and some merchandise there
and that he got into the Crawley
second hand store by getting through
window and that ne took the 'eweiry
and some money from there which ne
hid in various places before he was
arrested in his room at the Strong
hotel.
The court asked him questions after
question but the boy showed no ap-
parant emotion and gave every APP
pearance of being hard boiled and m
different.
Judge Law tried to find some evi-
dence that if the boy were given d
chance with help that ne might make
an effort at least 10 reform, but Chere
was none.
The defendnt could give no excuse
for leaving home at the age he dic
except that he wanted to and didn't
want to stay home. He claimed he
had grammar school education arc
also high school education, although
he afterward denied the latter p'her
pressed for further particulars oy The
court.
To turn a boy like that loose after
short sentence would be merely
sending him back into a life of crime
The court finally decided to impose
the sentence as given above.
"Thare will be plenty of chances L
reduce the sentence and seLure t;
parole for the boy if the proper op
portunity and conditions arise" sait
Judge Law. "To sentence such a bo!
to the penitentiary is hard, but t.
do less would be miscarriage of jus
tice and he seemed to have develops
into regular enemy of society"
When the sentence was imposed III
boy showed no feelings. To the de
putty who took him back to Jail h
smilingly declared that he was gia
to get away from the questioning b
had been put through and he didn'
care anything about the sentence.

At a time when this country is sending mil
lions in donations and billions in loans across the
water it is not unwise to consider as homely a
problem as our own boys and girls and their
future. From certain observations we have made
we believe there is often time when the need
of a few dollars for college fees or a new suit
of clothes stand between young person and the
sort of future he wants and should attain. A
citizens committee with an available fund to
which appeal could be made without embarrass-
ment would be only right to handle worthy cases
of this kind. This would not be charity but an
investment that would bring rich returns in a
majority of cases. It would also be wonderful
advertisement for the city if we wish to consider
it from material standpoint.

LOP OFF THE EXTRAS

If the writer had the honor of a place in the
state legislature he would certainly vote for the
proposed reduction in the number of House men,
5ers. Not only because of the need of economy
which is uppermost at this time when the state
is broke but because as a matter of principle the
list of public officials should always be kept at
4 minimum. Office holding is hurtfu to great

"A number of editors have lately been remind
ing us of the seriousness of conditions, in fact,
after looking around at the long faces the COM
pany has been pulling we are reminded of the old
saying: "Ths is very solemn occasion" 1t is
easy to overdo this sort of thing. What is need
ed just now is real note of cheer. Not painted
dreams and sky-scraping air castles but sturdy
optimism that yields some fruit for every day of
sunshine and scatters the gloom of cloudy days
with contagious smile that ripples the surface
of life that spells love and hepfulness. An
interview with a friend that believes this is a
good old world after all and is doing his best
to help make it so is worth more to us than a
barrel full of essays on unemployment" or the

"He Makes His Own Conditions is the title
of very sensible article this week in one of the

one may feel under obligations to employ us but
if we can meet felt want Of society we should
be able to create clientle of our own and to
market our services at price that will satisfy
our ordinary needs.

The major part of the comment on the pre-
sent tide of immigration indicates that our people
view the movement with alarm. However, if a
person wished to be contrary he might suggest
that if we have to feed the Europeans anyhow it
ought to be all right to have the boarders within
sound Of the dinner bell.

The headline telling that fifty-six new laws
had been passed rather frightened us until we
noted that it was mostly routine legislation. The
fact seems to be that the present state legislature
has made very unusual record for sanity and
efficiency.

COMMUNITY ME ETINGS
TO PLAN FALL WORK

In order to lay our plans for fall
project meetings and the foundation
for the 1922 project work the Coun-
ty Agent will meet all community
committees in the county as provid-
ed by a schedule to be given out lat
er. Only communities that have an
organization or such communities as
have requested such committee meet
ings will be visited. In organized
communities all club officers and pro-
ject leaders will act on the communi-
ty committee. In unorganized COM
munities it will be up to the tenn
porary or emergency chairman to Sc
lect or appoint committee to act.
The primary object of these meet
ings which has hitherto been neglect
ed will be to discuss, previous to the
community meetings, the plan of
work which will be carried out for
the coming year. In most cases the
topic or projects which will be dis
cussed and outlined will be Crops,
Rodent Control, Insect
Control, Women's Work, Recreation,
and Emergency. With the experience
of the previous years it is found that

9TH COUNTY FAIR
GREAT SUCCESS
REMARKABLY FINE FARM EX-
HIBIT-PLENTY OF ENTER
TAINMENT FOR CROWDS

Remarkably fine exhibits of every
sort of grain, vegetables and farm
products produced in this district
and fine program of entertainment
features made the seventh annual
Roosevelt county fair the best ever
held and probably the best county
fair in the state. The live stock ex-
hibits from well known pure bred
stock farms of the county were big
feature in themselves and prophetic
of what the stock industry will mean
to this country in the future.
The fair dates coming at the bus
lest of the threshing season made it
impossible for many people to at
tend who wished to do so. The at
tendance was not as large as the
management had hoped for A great
number of people from this vicinity
attended and were we'll pleased with
what they saw.
The star amusement feature on the
program was the auto polo games,
staged by the young men of Poplar
Games were played all three days of
the fair and the daring abandon of
the players electrified the crowds.
There was only one accident, how
ever, that of the third day when Mike
Winn was thrown under his car when
two Fords used by the teams collid-
ed.
The automobile races were held on
only one day this year. In the big
auto race Johnnie Jennison, of Will
liston, driving Buick, took first
place, the Chevrolet, owned by c.
Jensen of Poplar, was second and
Jacobs, of Willow Bunch, Canada,
driving Ford was third.
In the one-miIe race against time,
Jennison, of Williston, again took
first place negotiating the track in
5912 seconds.

TAKES MEASURES TO
PROTECT WILD GAME

A meeting of men interested in the
preservation of wild life and the
proper enforcement of the game laws
was held in Judge Gordon's office
Tuesday afternoon. Reports of flag
rant violations of the provisions af-
fecting the protection of both prairie
chickens and ducks were handed in
but no warrants have been issued
for the arrest of the guilty persons,
owing to the fact that no one has
sworn to a criminal complaint, this
phase of the matter was laid over for
the present. One thing is certain,
and that is, that the same persons,
who for several seasons past have
violated the law by hunting ahead of
the opening of the season are again
at their old tricks this season. Sports
men feel, that besides being unfair,
these persons show a contempt for
the law and the rights of others that
calls for severe penalties. The names
of several violators are known and if
proof of violation is forthcoming
hereafter they will be prosecuted and
brought into the lime light.
The following were named as a
committee to see to the enforcement
of the laws affecting hunting:
George H. Flint, president; j. R.
Burgess, vice president; L. M. Clay
ton, secretary and treasurer; j. L.
Davey, Frank Covell, T. H. Kline,
J. B. Switzer, Tom Carroll.
A meeting of the general public is
called for Friday evening, next at
8 p. m. at the Commercial club rooms
and all true sportsmen are urged to
attend.

DEATH-HOUSE OF
SING SING PICTURED

A dozen condemned men enjoyed
the privilege of seeing the first mo-
ton picture ever exhibited in Sing
Sings death house through the kind
ness of Thomas Meighan, Paramount
star, and his director, Tom Foreman,
who recently presented a projection
machine to the prison. Interiors of
the prison are shown in Mr. Neigh
ans new picture, 'The City of Silent
men," which will be shown at the
Liberty Theatre next Thursday and
Friday.
AS the deathhouse is small, the ma
chine had to be placed twelve feet
from the screen. The reels were run
off twice so that the twelve men
could see them through the steel
barred doors of their cells. A bed
sheet, used as screen, was stretched
at the west end of the short corridor
which has a row of cells on each side.
When the reels were run off the sheet
was shifted to the east side and the
the picture repeated.
Mr.. Meighan recently staged an es-
cape scene at Sing Sing for his latest
Paramount picture, 'The City of ST.
lent Men" and he was so struck with
the utter dreariness of the life of the
inmates of the deathhouse that he
asked Warden Lawes if motion pic
ture projection machine could be
used there The Warden said the
men might see censored pictures oc-
casionally and the projection machine
was ordered. 1t arrived in time to
add a little mirth to the last Christ
mas many of the condemned men en-
joyed.

well functioning community can
get better action, quicker action and
more efficient results on the regular
project work and also on emergency
work that may come up from time
to time. This past year the emer-
gency work such as seed loan and
grasshopper control was handicapped
at the outset in some communities
due to the lack of leadership within
the community.

Supt Livingston Announces Corps of Teachers = Many
New Names On List Number Slightly Reduced AS
Economy Measure Everything Points to Successful
Season-Parents Urged to Start Children Once

We have two alternatives if we
wish to secure rural teachers. They
are: to raise salaries or lower oui
standards set for teachers. Another
handicap is the lack of boarding
places.
Miss Lottie Gaffy completed 3
months term at the Liberty school
last week. She will teach at Brown
ing. Mrs. P. J. McCann will reopen
the Liberty Sept. 6.
Miss Elizabeth Randall will stop
teaching at the Boyd school Sept. 16.
Elsie Mcneil will close the Krohn
school Sept. 16. Both teachers viii
return to the state normal at Dillon.
We hope to secure teachers for these
schools.
At present we are considering ap-
plications for the following schools
Wide Awake, Pioneer, Treeby and
Woods. Our other rural schools are
the French, Warmbrodt, Pershing,
Herting and Box Elder.
Students Want Places
A number of new students expect
to enroll in the Wolf Point high
school this fall. Some of these peo-
pie wish to work for board and room.
Have you anything for them to do?
Mr. Mcneil has the building in
good shape.
Children who are years old be-
fore the first of November should en-
roll Sept r. The others should en-
roll for the second semester.
All students should enroll Sept IL.
Those who miss a week or two start
with handicap. Very often this
handicap causes students to become

jects as Algebra, Plane Geometry,
Latin or Shorthand very often fail
