car into the shadow of some trees
not far from the gate of The Elms
Save for a light In the sitting-room
and one In a bedroom upstairs, the
front Of the house was In darkness,
and, treading noiselessly on the turf
he explored all round 1t. There was
one bedroom light at the back Of the
house, and thrown on the blind he
could see the shadow OF a man. As
he watched, the man got up and
moved away, only to return In a mo-
ment or two and take up his old posi-
ton.
"It's one Of those two bedrooms"
he muttered to himself, IF he's here
at ALL"
Then he crouched in the shadow of
some shrubs and waited. Through
the trees to his right he could see The
Larches, and once, with a sudden
quickening Of his heart, he thought he
saw the outline of the girl show up
in the light from the drawing-room.
But It was only for a second, and
then II was gone.
He peered at his watch: 1t was Just
ten o'clock. The trees were creaking
gently in the faint wind; all around
him the strange night nolses-noises
which play pranks with a mans
nerves-were whispering and mutter-
ing. Bushes seemed suddenly to come
to life, and move; eerie shapes
crawled over the ground toward
him-fgures which existed only in
his imagination. And once again the
thrill Of the night stalker gripped
him.
He remembered the German who
had lain motionless for an hour In a
little gully by Hebuterne, while he
from behind stunted bush had tried
to locate him. And then that one
creak as the Boche had moved his leg.
And then the end. On that
night, too, the little hummocks had
moved and taken to themselves
strange shapes: fifty times he had
imagined he saw him; fifty times he
knew he was wrong--in time. He
was used to It; the night held no
terrors for him, only a fierce excite
ment. And thus 1t was that as he
crouched In the bushes, waiting for
the game to start, his pulse was as
normal, and his nerves as steady as
IL he had been sitting down to supper
The only difference was that iD his
hand he held something tight-gripped.
At last family In the distance he
heard the hum Of a car. Rapidly 1t
grew louder, and he smiled grimly to
himself as the sound of five unme-
lodious voices singing Justify struck
his ear. They passed along the road
In front of the house. There was
sudden crash--then silence; but only
for moment.

RETURN
FROM THE PARKS

Harry B. Mason and family re-
turned Wednesday evening from a
motor trip Of nearly a month They
went first to Yellowstone park, which
they toured, and then followed the
Park to Park highway through the
principal cities of Western Montana
to Glacier park where they enjoyed
a fire outing. Then they shipped
their car and outfit over the noun
tains and motored home. Mr.. Mason
says they had a wonderfully sue
cessful and pleasant journey, saw
many sights and observed crop CON
ditions through the state, both dry
land and irrigated crops, and saw
many good fields but that on the
whole route they saw no grain that
,ompared favorably with that in this
section.

SATURDAY NIGHT" WITH
THEODORE ROBERTS

Theodore Roberts, veteran char
acter actor, travelled across half the
state of California, the second largest
state in the union-to appear in Cecil
B. DeMille's latest Paramount picture
Saturday Night" which comes to
the Liberty theatre next Thursday
and Friday Although the part was
an important one, the producer fore
saw that it could be filmed in rela-
lively little time. SO Roberts was
cast in another role which carried
him high in the Sierra Nevada noun
tains, five. hundred, miles from the
Lasky studio. And just then Mr..
DeMille needed Roberts. Frantic
telegraphing and no less frantic auto
Stage and railroad travelling on the
part of Theodore Roberts landed the
latter at the Lasky studio the morn
ing of the day he was to appear be-
fore the camera in Saturday Night.
Leatrice Joy, Conrad Nagel, Edith [

has resulted and active work has been
undertaken to fight the pests. Cut
worm damage has been very light,
while hail damage has been light and
mostly local.

CRAFT COMMENT ON
STRIKE SITUATION
70 the Editor

! To the Editor
The DEVELOPMENTS the past week
in the strike situation were in no way
spectacular. On Saturday five un-
fortunates who gave the information
that they came to scab to gather the
pecuniary necessity for an education,
appeared on the scene.
Poor boys, they did not seem to
realize they were stalking the fu
ture and by their acts condemning
themselves to go through life with
a worse brand than that. Of Cain.
It is too bad that such things happen.
If people could realize the odium
of scab the breed would soon dis
appear, and the strike on today is
taking note of this scum and their
names will be available to all friends
Of labor at all times.
In this connection I would mention
as a pleasing incident of the strike !
the cooperation and sympathy of the
business men at most points These
men are now getting to understand
hat the welfare of labor is their

the exhibit.
An exhibit stand will be built for
the display of samples and will be
up town until just before the arrival
OF the special trains bearing the
newspaper folk, when it will be moved
to the station.
The committee also wants farm nic-
lures. Perhaps farmers can furnish
a few of these, but a special trip

to secure field and farm scenes.

Ihe farmers can lend some genu-
inc cooperation in this matter. There

comnsittee is compelled to go into

HOPPER SITUATION
SAID NOT SERIOUS
COUNTY AGENT SAYS PEST CAN
BE CONTROLLED IF TAKEN
IN TIME

The grasshopper situation in Roose-
velt county is not serious and IS un-
DER control in nearly all districts
where hoppers are doing damage.
Farmers with an average acreage can
very easily control the hoppers bv
the application of few sacks of
poison when the hoppers are Young
and when they move from the edge
OF the prairie land in on the crops.
reports from farmers to date who
have followed this practice show them
absolutely under control while farm
ers who are not doing anything have
some losses
Last year the county furnished
all the poison ingredients including
the bran, free of charge to each and
every farmer. 1t was found through
the experiences last year that farm
ers who did not need it badly haul
ed some out for fear they might need
1t and it would be gone when thew
came in while others who were badly
infested had to wait until it was too
late. In some cases the farmers took
the poison out and did not even dis
tribute it. As a result of last years
experiences the members of the ex-
ecutive committee and the county
agent thought more efficient use
would be made of said poison if the
farmers were required to furnish
part Of it.
Cost Is Small
1t still makes the poison at very
ow and reasonable cost, not taking
'ver ten cents an acre actual cash
or application on infested land. r.
las also been found that any farmers
Who have prospects of good cron
an secure credit to that extent If
le desires to poison his land provid
ng 1t is infested with hoppers. Thus
ne county is getting the most eff
lent use of poison and farmers who.
re willing to fight for their crops
an secure all the poison thev de-
ire. The distributing stations are.

CONSOLIDATION OF
LOCAL NEWSPAPERS
HERALD BUYS PROMOTER NAME
AND SUBSCRIPTION LIST
NEW LINEUP

Beginning with next weeks issue
July 20, The Herald will represent a
consolidation of Wolf Points two
newspapers under the title head The
Wolf Point Herald and Continuation
of The Wolf Point Promoter.
After negotiations that lasted for
several weeks the directors of The
Herald decided to purchase. the name,
legality, subscription list and good
will Of the Promoter and the various
instruments required by the transfer
were signed today. The Promoter
will issue its final number this week.
The Promoter was established by
A. L. Skare and N. A. Mann. the
first issue appearing March 6. 1919.
The Herald began its career April 9, !
1913, and it is believed that the con-
solidated paper that begins next week |
will be a larger, better and more
: prosperous paper than either of the |
component sheets. The business !
change was decided on for its eco
nomic advantages. While Wolf Point
is larger than many towns that have
even three papers, it is difficult to
understand the need of them The
idea of a second or third postoffice
in a small town or city would be
laughed at but many fail to see where
there is greater need Of two news
papers than two postolfices.
