GALLATIN CO. UNION
BIDDING FOR WHEAT
FIELD MANAGER HERE TO AR
RANGE TO BUY AND SHIP
QUOTES GOOD PRICES

According to announcement, Les
ter H. Todd of Bozeman has spent
several days here this week to get in
touch with farmers, having wheat to
market. Mr.. Todd is field manager
for the Gallatin County Union, IL
senced and bonded organization that
buys wheat and ships it directly to
eastern mills. This method enables
them to pay 10 to II cents above the
card price paid by elevators.
While Mr.. Todd's company is max
ing speciality of durum wheat, they
also buy marquis and other varieties.
Their latest quotations are Dark Nor
thern S1.15, No. l Mixed Durum,. 78.
At stations where there are no fac
ilities for track loading, Mr.. Todd
arranges, if possible, with local ell
evator and allows them two cents a
bushel for handling and loading. Up
on delivery of their grain, farmers
are paid ninety per cent of the a.
greed price, and when the returns on
the shipment are received, the other
ten per cent is paid. Mr.. Todd states
that this method has been found nee
essary to insure his company against
loss since they buy on very close
and because the buyer can
not always inspect all grain as it is
delivered. He says that in his home
county there is much track loading
by means of loading platforms and
portable elevators. He has bought
several cars of wheat at points east
Of here.
Up to today Mr.. Todd had not sue
,eeded in arranging with a local ell
svator to handle any wheat that he
night buy, the difficulty being main
y over the adjustment of the pay
nent of the ten per cent. Numerous
'armers were found ready to sell and
le still expects to be able to make 1
satisfactory arrangements. He says
hat all his shipments are weighed
md graded by Federal inspectors,
md refers to the Commercial Nat
onal Bank at Bozeman as to the re-
of the Gallatin County
Union. He expects to remain in this
icInity few days longer.

AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR ADVERTISING
MONTANA WILL SPREAD TIE
TRUTH THROUGH NEWS
PAPERS OF COUNTRY

Helena, Jan. 1.-Unfavorable
publicity Montana received through
the country as a result of three years
of drouth will be wholly effaced by
the five million lines of favorable
comment that will appear in the col
umns of 10000 newspapers in the
United States this coming season in
connection with the visit to Montana
in July of the members of the Ma
tional Editorial Association.
Members of this association will
spend II days in Montana. These
members, each of whom is a news
paper publisher, is under contract
to print in the news columns of his
paper a stipulated amount of news
concerning Montana. The contracts
total five million lines, and the news
articles are supplied by the various
cities and towns of Montana which
are contributing to the fund neces-
sary to bring the convention to the
state While the convention itself
will be held in Missoula, the special
trains conveying the delegates will
visit every part of the state that con-
tributes to the fund and will send
back articles to their Lapers dealing
with each region visited.
That the dollars and cents value
of the advertising that accrues to a
state which gets the convention is
appreciated is shown by the keen
competition for the 1922 convention.
There were 27 bidders, among them
being Detroit and Atlantic City.
Montana won out because it had
to offer out of the ordi-
nary-two national parks, mountain
scenery, oil wells, cattle ranges, cop
per mines and western farming.
The advertising Montana will re-
ceive from the visit of the editors is
bound to turn the eyes of the country
to the opportunities and resources
of the state, in the opinion of persons
who made a study of the advertising
results to communities the editors
visited in past years.

In announcing the event, the ex-
ecutive committee of the Civic Lea
que makes the following statement :
eve want the people of Wolf
Point and vicinity to know exactly
what we are putting on this tag day
for. 1t is to obtain the funds to
carry on relief work among those
who need help right in our own town
to supply food and fuel i'll many
cases to families who have none, to
tide over families where the bread
winner is temporarily out of work,
to provide clothing for babies and
little children who would otherwise
be cold.
"When the Red Cross organiza-
tion was dropped here, it was recog-
nized by the members of the execu-
tive committee that there would be
need of relief work, but it was thou
ght that this work could be better
handled if it were handled by some
purely local organization, % if the
money which was raised in Wolf
Point could stay here and be used
as necessary, rather than being sent
to headquarters, necessitating lot
of red tape when we needed aid
from headquarters.
''Last winter the Civic League
had a number of calls for aid and
helped all it could. This last fall
the drive for outgrown or worn
met with splendid response
and the Civic department of the
League has been able to aid unm-
ber of families, supply clothing to
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1922-01-12

a number of children who could not
otherwise have gone to school. 1t
is probable that more than 200 gar
ments have been given away and
there are still many things on hand.
However, this was not enough. There
were, and are, families needing food
and fuel Several hundred dollars
will be needed in relief work during
the winter if we are to aid all the ur-
gent cases which will probably come
to our attention.
''Now, the League intends making
just this one drive for funds this
winter. And we want our tag day
to be a success. All the money
made will be spent right here in
town to help those who are in dire
need of help. Wolf Point citizens
have always shown themselves very
liberal in contributing toward the
various drives that have been put on
and we hope that they will express
their approval of the work the Civic
League is trying to do, by getting
back of US with their support"
The tags, which bear the slogan
"Help Your Neighbor," carry out
the idea of the undertaking, which
is that of neighborliness to those
who are unfortunate. Those who
want to have part in this work of
will buy tags or dance
tickets or both and help the good
work along. Red tags will be sold for
ten cents each, and the blue tags,
which admit to the dance in the
evening, will be $1.00 each.

HOMESTEAD 80, WOLF POINT "a

The Homestead town team and the
Wolf Point Legion team played
basketball at the high school gym
this evening, and the visitors car
ried off the honors 80 to %. The
Homestead boys are a strong ag-
gregation and have not lost game
this year. The local team, in the
words of one of the players "played
rotten in the first half" The score
for that period was % to in favor
of the visitors. The game occurred
too late in the week to give the par
ticulars.

President R. j. Moore and the di-
rectors feel that this is crucial year
in the growth of Wolf Point. The
club needs funds and though times
have been slow, there should be no
let down in payment of dues-other-
wise there will be waste of all that
has been invested before.

bership list for 1922 and secured
pledges amounting to $240 from the
first five men solicited, Messrs

MANY PAY LAST TRIBUTE
TO WILLIAM R. SIBBITS

Simple but fitting services were
held Sunday afternoon, January 8, at
the Presbyterian church for William
Bigler Sibbits. The church was filled
to overfowing with many standing.
Indians and whites, old-timers and
tenderfeet, mingled to pay the trib-
ute of their regard for the man who
had made this country his home for
almost half century. William Sib-
bits, Jr., serving with the 73rd Field
Artillery at Camp Knox, Kentucky,
was present. The daughters, Mrs.
Headdress and Mrs. Shipstead were
also present but the young sons, Ed
ward and Harry, were not brought
from Rapid City, S. D., where they
are attending school.
Rev. Alfred Hendrickson, mem
Der of the Legion, who served as
chaplain in the late war, delivered
brief address that pointed out the
value to later generations of life
such as that just brought to close.
A quartette, Mrs. G. H. Flint, Mrs.
A. K. Tice, Kenneth King and Rud
olph Christianson, sang with fine ex-
preston the beautiful hymns, Face
to Face, Abide With Ne, and Rock
of Ages.
The funeral procession formed at
the church with a military guard at
the head and the soldier pail bearers
at either side of the casket
The body was taken to the Indian
cemetery where it was inferred by
the side of the wife, with the military
service and salute.
William Bigler Sibbits was born at
Carlisle, Pa, July II, 1852. At the
tender age of IL years he decided to
see the great west and struck out for
Kansas. Two years later he enlisted
in the U. S. Cavalry as musician. In
the campaigns in the southwest of
those early days he had many thrill

QUARANTINE RULES
MUST BE REGARDED
ARREST AND FINE FOLLOWS RE-
PEATED VIOLATION-WH
OFFENSE is SERIOUS


Quarantine regulations must be
obeyed or serious consequences will
ensue. This is the commendable
stand taken by the city board of
health, who propose to enforce the
law in regard to quarantine. The
past week one man, who has paid
no attention to maintaining a quar-
antine, even after being warned, was
brought before Judge Gordon and
! fined 500.
Several children in this family
were i'll with scarlet fever, but the
parents did not report the cases, and
it was only after the matter came to
his attention directly that DR.. De-
Wane, city health physician, placed
the house under quarantine. The
children were allowed to be out
around and the family pets roamed
the neighborhood at will. Finally
neighbors complained, and DIR. De-
Wane sent Chief of Police Kearney
to warn the family that they must
ltepCIb IilC lCS
A few days later it was learned
that the father had left the premises
to go down town and that he had
gone to work. A warrant for his
arrest was issued and he was brought
before Judge Gordon, who read him
a lecture-vza the enormity of his
offense and fined him $1OO. The
mans excuse was that the cases were
light.
DR.. DeWane says that no matter
how mild a form of a contagious
disease a person may have, another
person taking the disease from him,
may have it in its severest form. He
says that altogether too many peo-
pie are disposed to regard quaran-
tine restrictions lightly and to feel
that they are made ''for the other
fellow" They do not seem to real
ize that by this attitude they are let
ting down the bars which might safe
guard their own families.
Works Both Ways.
If Willie Jones has a mild case of
measles, and his mother lets him go
out in the street and play with little
Johnnie Smith, she is not only will
ling that her boy give the measles
to his playmate, with the weak eyes
or impaired hearing, or other COM
plications which may attend measles,
but by her attitude she tacitly says
that later on when Johnny Smith has
whooping cough, or scarlet fever, or
some other contagious disease, that
he is welcome to share it with her
Willie.
However, most persons who are
generous with their own disease
germs are apt to resent like gener-
osity on the part of others.
DR.. DeWane states that the To-
cal board of health intends to do all
in its power to safeguard the health
Of the community, and that quaran-
even though drastic measures must
be taken to do so.
Pets Carry Disease
Dogs and cats are known to be
carriers of disease germs, and in
some cities there are ordinances
making it compulsory to kill the fam
ly pets when the house is under quar-
intine. No such ordinance exists in
Wolf Point, and therefore people
should be careful about letting their
.hildren play with strange dogs or
ats at time when contagious dis
Eases are known to be prevalent in
he city.

WHY LENINE's SOVIET SHIP WILL
SINK.

Russia's new leaders have realized
too late the utter fallacy of their theo-
ries of industrial management Like
land lubbers who turned pirate on the
high seas they seized the ship and
threw the navigators overheard, and
cannot call them back to guide the
ship through the tempestuous pillows.
They are likely to find, as pirates
would under similar circumstances.
that they will not only fail to operate
the ship themselves, but they viii soon
lose the confidence of the seamen and
will themselves meet the fate they de

The salvation of Russia rests almost
entirely in the hands of her own peo-

not much. 1t is but temporary ex-
pedient to send few cargoes Of food
to the suffering. There can be no per-
manent relief-no restoration of indus
trial prosperity ~ until fundamental
conditions are changed by a return to
those principles of human rights which
have been demonstrated by human ex-
perience to be essential to human
1t may be readily conceded that in
Russia at the time of Lenine's advent,

JOB FOR THE BOARD OF TRADE
THIS YEAR.

The Wallace board Of trade has
proved its great value to the city and
district by providing an organization
through which the attitude Of the com
munity finds expression on questions
OF public interest and action is taken
to accomplish desired results Its list
OF achievements is long and credita-
bic one, but the biggest problem that
has ever come before the body, the
one involving big business possibilities
end better homes. still remains un-
solved and forgotten. This is the
question OF improved transportation
facilities between Wallace and Burke
a service that would enable men with
families to live in Wallace or in this
vicinity while employed in the canyon
mines. This question was taken up in
earnest by the board Of trade year
and a half or more ago, when great
difficulty was being experienced by the
mining companies in getting men. 1t
was pointed out then that married
men would not take employment on
account Of the undesirable living con-
ditions in the canyon, and to overcome
this objection it was proposed to ar
range a train service that would ena-
bic employees Of the mines TO go to and
from their work without loss of time
The great advantage to Wallace from
a business standpoint. and the greater
advantage to employees in having
homes for their families in more agree
able surroundings. were fully recog-
nized, and it looked for time like
this much desired change would be ac-
comphshed. In the meantime, howev-
en- the labor supply steadily increased.
gradually the mines obtained their full
quotas. interest in the improved trans
portation question lapsed and finally
disappeared altogether. But neverthe-
less it is the most important question
with which the board of trade has had
TO deal and it should be taken up and
a solution found this year.
