FIRST GAME TURNS
LOOSE THE THRILLS
POPLAR TEAM FIGHTS CAMEL Y
FOR VICTORY BUT LOSES
IN 18th FRAME

The Legion-Wolves took the open
er of the base ball season at West
side park last Sunday. But it took
II innings of peppery play to decide
the victor. The farther the battle
went the more thrilling it became.
The Poplar boys were by no means
easy to turn back and looked, at sew
eral times, as much like winners as
the locals.
The score was tied by the visitors
in the fourth inning and several of
the remaining innings found it in
the same strenuous condition. Both
teams did good work with their sticks
and the boxmen who first took up
the pitching burdens for their respec-
tive teams were frequently in trouble.
Williams gave way to Funk and Mar
ley to Danielson.
For the Wolves Buzby was the bat
ting star, driving out four safe ones,
two of them for extra bases. Trip,
who followed him. landed for three
safeties, two of them decidedly time
ly, bringing in Buzby in the ninth
with the tying score, and again in
the eleventh with the winning score.
All the rest Of the team, save one,
delivered at least one safe blow.
Lefty Williams made his three-hag-
ger and the long run around the
diamond told on his pitching in the
next inning, in which he withdrew in
favor of Funk. The total hits were
8 for Poplar and 13 for Wolf Point.
Both teams played good ball con-
sidering it was so early in the season.
1t was a game well worth watching.
There was a fair attendance of fans
and the closeness of the game will
serve to attract bigger crowd next
time. McPherson's umpiring was
very satisfactory. He worked alone,
which made his job tough one.
Manager Rae and Captain Jacob
will take the team to Glasgow next
Sunday and a fast game is expected
as Glasgow is reported to be strong.

A state law requires that everyone
selling milk or milk products must
have their cows tested for tubercu-
losis, and while at times it is rather
hard to comply with this regulation,
state veterinarians are sent into every
district as often as possible and now
is the opportunity for everyone milk
ing cows to have them tested and 0
make sure that the milk they are
selling or using is fit for consump-
tion. 1t is matter of real vital
importance and affects the health of
the general public and especially of
children. DR.. Richardson will re-
spond to calls from either side of

SCHOOL IS OUT
VACATIONS HERE
EXCELLENT CLOSING EXER
CISES-CLASS OF 9 GRAD
YATES TONIGHT

The past week has been attended
by various interesting school exer-
cises marking the usual year-end and
commencement events. Last Friday
evening occurred the Senior Glass
Day exercises. The first part of the
program was held on the campus
the first number being a professional
with the band and school in line. A
halt was made at the spot where the
class tree was planted by Claude
Carpenter of the seniors and John
Foster of the juniors. Marian Wal
ter made an excellent presentation
of the spade to the Juniors and John
Foster gracefully accepted. The
professional then continued around
the square and to the assembly room
where the band gave another pleas
ing number, and the rest Of the pro-
gram was carried out. Claude Car
penter gave the class history and

othy billiards. part, and the class will,
Sadie Hayener's.
The concluding number, the class
song, with original words set to the
tune of "Carry Me Back to Old Vir-
ginia," was especially pleasing and
effective. But the whole program
was of exceptional merit. As was
explained at the beginning of the
program, it was the seniors season
of freedom and fun after a long
period of serious work, and the wit
and humor that was employed in
several of the numbers was taken in
good part and caused peals of laugh

FARMERS ALL SMILE
CONDITIONS EXCEL
ALL-AROUND PROSPECTS BEST
FOR YEARS-RANGE AND
CROPS FINE

Every farmer wears a smile these
days and those who are not too busy
to talk about conditions, say that
without reservations, that crop pros
poets are the best for six or seven
years. Getting the seed in the ground
has been slow work on account of
rains, but practically all planting with
the exception of flax and corn is now
done.
The range is excellent and cattle
that came through the winter very
thin are rapidly growing fat. The
soil is full of moisture and wheat
and other fields are turning green
and the grain growing at rate that
will outdistance the thistles. South
of the river in McCone county winter
wheat is reported as having come
through the winter in fine condition
and seeding and crops are well ad-
vanced. Corn, potatoes and gardens
are being planted this week, with in
dications pointing to an increased
acreage of each, particularly of corn.
The reports just received from the
state department of agriculture says:
Livestock conditions throughout
the state are generally good according
to reports of county agents for the
week ending May 20, received by the
state department of agriculture.
Seeding is in full blast over Montana
and is from SO to 100 per cent COM
pleted on small grains. Corn and
potatoes are now going in the ground.
There was some rain in the fore part
of the week with good growing
weather.
