Mr.. AND MRS. SWIFT
LEAVE FOR CHICAGO

Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Swift left the
city this week and will make their
nome in Chicago. Mr.. Swift went
directly to Chicago and will take
course in electrical engineering IN
technical college. Mrs. Swift will
ioin him later after visiting friends
at several points.
They have resided in the city about
year and half, and the many
friends they have gained in both
business and social circles are very
sorry to lose them, but wish them
great success in their new field and
home. Mr.. Swift retains an interest
lin the Buttrey-Swift company, the
largest exclusive dry goods concern
in the city. and is succeeded IN It's
management by H. E. Buttrey, son
of F. A. Buttrey, head of the parent
concern, at Havre.

undoubtedly, heavy DETECTION in
Indian land values and undoubtedly
/ decrease them, and also Indian allot-
ment rentals great deal, thus plac-
ing the Indian under a financial han
dicap. On the other hand, it has
been found that pro-rated grazing
under the present system is very un-
satisfactory, as it is hard to deter
mine to whom grazing fees belong.
Consequently, Mr.. Kitch, after hear
ing all sides of the question, decided
not to do anything definite until the
resolutions of the stockmen were sub
mitted to the Indian council Further
action towards organization was
taken by the stockmen in the way of
organizing county association,
which, it is hoped, will be extended
westward Bob Reid was elected
pIcSluSlt VI 1illS OISdHlZdIiOn, OOliH
Curran, vice-president, and Mr.. Nc
Laughlin, secretary This
association expects to meet semi
annually and work on a definite pro-
gram.
The blackleg program, which is be-
ing conducted through the farm bu-
reau, and the purebred beef sires will
more than likely be adopted by the
Roosevelt County Livestock associa-
ton, and active cooperation with
that organization will undoubtedly
spell success in putting across both of
these important projects.
A committee was also appointed to
draw up a constitution and bylaws,
set membership fee and instruct the
executive duties of said organiza
ton until such time as the constitu
tion shall be adopted.
The association is fortunate in hav-
ing progressive stockmen as the lead
ers in such an organization, and it
unquesti apl. in the future will be
the biggest means of making the live
stock industry better paying prop
osition.

REAL SEA STORM in
WIN. FARNUM PICTURE

One of the most thrilling sights
possible on the screen is the sinking
of ship in a storm-even If the
storm is ''made to order" But there
are storms=and storms. Those who
were concerned in the making of the
storm scene in "The Scuttlers, "
which will be shown at the Liberty
theatet next Thursday and Friday,
declare they got the thrill of their
lives
Even William Farnum, the popu-
lar William Fox star, who has been
in many thrilling scenes, says this
scene surely made his red blood run
fast. And the cameramen who pho
tographed the picture are willing to
sign a statement that they want no
more thrills of this calibre.
The action took place outside Of
San Francisco, on board 25O-foot
ship. taken over by the Fox company
for the purpose. ]. Gordon Edwards
was directing the picture. The day
was rather mean and threatening, but
this gave the gray light necessary for
the scenes. Mr.. Edwards intended
to pump the storm from the ocean in
the customary motion picture way,
but the vessel had hardly pushed its
way beyond the three-mile limit when
rain began to fall and high wind
dashed the waves over the ship. At
first Mr.. Edwards, as he balanced
himself on the rolling deck, thought
it would be well to return to port.
'tJust the kind of weather we
want" Farnum insisted. "Put an UNI
brella over the camera, Gordon-and
this ought to be corking stuff.
So a shelter was made for the
camera and the storm scenes taken.
Little rehearsal was needed. The
real action was there. The company
didn't try to act. What the members
to do was to keep on their
feet. Their faces, too, expressed the
right emotion. One man became too
realistic. He got seasick and had to
be taken out of the line of the camera.
In "The Scuttlers" are other re-
markable scenes, embodied in a pc
culiarly thrilling story of romance
and adventure. According to report,
Farnum, in this picture, is seen at his
best

State Asks, ''Is Your
Baby Registered?''

If not, the United States census
bureau will discover the fact. Agents
of the bureau will arrive in Montana
during the month of October to con-
duct birth registration test to see
whether this state is eligible to enter
the United States birth registration
area To secure entrance the state
must prove that not less than 80 per
cent of all births have been recorded.
The test will cover all births occur
ring in 1921 and will reach into every
nook and corner of the state.
Charles Gordon, local register of
births for Wolf Point and vicinity, is
anxious to have this community show
100 per cent efficiency in birth re-
porting. To this end he wishes the
name, date and place of birth of
every baby under one year of age
sent him Immediately, so that he can
compare it with his records and IN
sure that proper birth certificate
has been or will be filed.
Law Requires Report.
Physicians and mldWlves are re-
quired by law to report every birth
which they attend Births not at
tended by physicians or midwlves
must be reported by the head OF the
household.
Proof of birth is essential to every
child's future welfare and insures
legal protection of his rights. Parents
should appreciate the interest the 10
cal registrar is taking and lend CO.

Bill Taylor Moves
To Poplar Again

William L. Taylor, for the past
year and a half about, operator
printer-foreman in The Herald shop,
went to Poplar Monday to fill SIM
liar position for the Standard, official
paper of the county. This makes the
score even. Bill is the most compe-
tent operator-machinist- -printer-fore-
man-"W orkman" "-kitten ball player
regular fellow that was ever lured
into this part of the known world.
The Herald discovered him and i'm
ported him from Kalispell After
short spell here Jerome & Frawley
of the Standard saw him and raised
the ante. Goodbye, Bill, take ker
of yerself, said we. Then in 1920
business got so good with The Herald
that we saw" the Standard and
boosted it. Welcome to our city, Mr..
and Mrs. Taylor.
Now comes the fourth chapter, with
the villain still on the job. Brother
Jerome, sans printer partner, gets
an attack of nerves, as the county
work stacks up in the job box.
Hully gee! He raises his sights and
adjusts the wind gauge for 5000
yards. Bingol Bulls eye. It's our
play next, but the position at the
table is not just right to make it now.
In other words. we are located too far
from the county treasury.
Mrs. Taylor and the children are
still here, but big motor truck will
rumble over the t. R. |. H. from Pop
lar most any day.

Reservation Stockmen
Confronted by Problem

| The stockmen and diversified farm
ers on the Fort Peck Indian reser-
walton are confronted by most seri-
Gus situation in the matter of range
for their stock The new regulations
announced by Superintendent Kitch,
to become effective Nov 1, are under
stood to require leases on definite
tracts, which must be fenced by the
stock owners. The stockmen claim
that for the man of ordinary means
this is practically impossible at this
time. Others claim that, even if
tracts were fenced, it would result in
other problems, such as water privi-
leges, keeping fences up, etc.
In the past stock has been run on
the reservation range on trespass
permits, at so much per head. In
some cases owners have been negli-
gent about payments, or unable to
pay. 1t is too soon to jump to def
mite conclusions or hasty opinions.
All parties are hopeful that practical,
workable plans can be agreed upon
The stockmen have formed an organi-
zation and submitted a proposition
to the superintendent for his consid-
GRAFTON. A meeting of stockmen was
held at Poplar on the oath and what
took place is fairly related by County
Agent Noble, as follows:
Last Saturday large number of
stock growers of the county met at
the county seat to have conference
with Mr.. Kitch, superintendent of the
Fort Peck agency, regarding the new
grazing program that was suggested
by the Indian department.
After considerable discussion by
the farmers and Indian officers, in
which both the Indian and the white
settlers side were thoroughly con-
sidered and digested, Mr.. Kitch re-
quested that the farmers draw up
set of resolutions regarding their
attitude towards the proposed grazing
1t was agreed upon by both
sides of the matter that the most
vital problem so far as land valuation
was concerned rests on the success
or failure of the present settlers IN
this country.
In other words, if the settlers that

TEN DOLLARS a SPOOL

Cabaret life does not necessarily
unfit the youth of the country for a
business career. Two practical and
imagination-owning hat-check boys
at Broadway cafe dansant. were
getting a $40 return for ten cent
investment until they fell out be-
tween themselves the other night.
They got into a pretty energetic fight
which attracted the dancers all into
the dressing room to see the mill.
Then came the demand for explana-
tions. The aggravated boy told the
story. His co-fighter had stolen his
spool of white thread! Certainly,
white threads working capital.
Then he explained more fully. 1t
seems that when a stingy non-tipper
recovered his hat and coat, he got
safely as far as the door. Then boy
politely asked him to wait a second,

Naturally this arrangement in the
plans increased the difficulty of the
task assigned to the 9th division
and the terrain over which it moved
was bristling with machine gun
nests. It's troubles were multiplied
for it by the fact that the British
corp on the left had failed COM
pletely to mop up it's part of the
ground, with the result that the left
flank of the 9th division was left
without the protection which was
confidently anticipated from that
source.
Colonel Hayes testifies that "the
30th division advanced straight to
their objective and reached it on
schedule time. That part of the op-
Grafton covered by the 30th Ameri-
can division and the 9th British
corps was successful to a high de-
gree mad was accomplished accord
ing to schedule"
The inseparable inference of this
article is that the credit for break
ing the Hindenburg line belongs
truthfully to the 30th division. The
failure of the 9th division to reach
it's appointed objectives on schedule
time reflects no discredit on the
stubborn fighting for it's soldiers.
Their la5ors were rendered doubly
difficult for them by the miscarriage
of the preliminary plans. No one,
not even the most ardent friend of
the Old Hickory division, wishes to
take any position that would appear
to detract from the heroism Of
these men.
And yet the fact remains, en-
bodied in the official records of the
war department that the 30th divi-
sion broke through the German de-
fenses, according to the predeter-
mined plans, while the 9th for rea-
sons that it could not reasonably
control failed in attaining its re-
mote detectives. When the question
is asked, (Which division broke the
Hindenburg line?" the correct an
swer always will be the 30th.

$4,000 OFFERED
FOR BALL PLAYER
St. Louis National Manager States
This Amount and Four Players
Offered His Team for
Roger Hornsby

St. Louis, Jan. 8.-Another new
record has been created in the his
tory of baseball finance by the report
from Houston, Texas, quoting Branch
Hickey manager of the St. Louis Ma
tionals as stating the club had receiv-
ed a bona fde offer of 100000 and
four players for Roger Hornsby, Car
dinal second baseman, and champion
hitter of the National League.
This figure more than doubles the
reported purchase price given by the
New York Yankees for Babe" Ruth,
in a deal which was conceded to put a
record valuation on a players SER
vices, and is just twice the size of
the offer made by the New York Ma
tionals for Honrsby early last sea-
son.
Hornsby, who is in insurance busi-
ress here stated recently he had no
desire to change clubs, and would
prefer to stay in st. Louis.
Hornsby hit .370 during the past
season, and though ranking ninth
among second basemen in fielding
had over 100 chances more than any
of his rivals.

HARD TIMES.

Hard times have hit in new place.
This time the buzzards are the suf-
ferers as it is told to us. 81 never
saw the buzzards as poor in my life
said prosperous farmer the other
day. why they are so poor they can
hardly fly" And to clinch the argu-
ment, he said that his good wife was
economy struck since the bill; be-
gan to come in January first, and i'll
order to have a cheap dinner last
Monday she cooked a pot of Blue
John collards. "The buzzards, when
they smelled the collards cooking,
few up into the yard" he said, and
hung around to get some of them.
You know a buzzard is hard up for
something to eat, if he will eat col
lards," the farmer said feelingly.
Some one advanced the idea that
there should be plenty of cows and
other animals starving to death and
dying in other ways, so that the buz-
yards might find something to eat,
but the farmer said that the cows are
so poor that if they died there would
be nothing for the buzzards to eat
except skin and bones. The bones,
they cannot eat and the hides, &C.
cording to the News and Courier,
are worth only eight cents each and
even a buzzard should not be ex-
pected to eat anything that cheap.
