save all discarded garments for dis
tribution to the poor. The ladies of
the club look after this work each fall
and comfort is brought to many who
otherwise might be forced to go
without proper clothing during the
long winter. Places will be found fer
any kind of serviceable garments,
whether for men, women or children.
The only request made is that they
be clean. There is an especial de-
mand for children's shoes and the
committee asks that all shoes that
have been outgrown or discarded for
some reason be saved. Pack these
garments away and little
later the ladies will call and collect
them and see that they are placed
where they will do the most good.
The date for the collection will be
announced later.

A telegram was received in this

400 TONS OF HAY
DESTROYED BY FIRE
PRAIRIE FIRE SWEEPS FROM
TRACK TO RIVER-CROPS
ARE ALSO DESTROYED

A disastrous prairie fire started
about four miles east of Macon last
Sunday noon. 1t is thought the
origin of the fire was spark form a
passing freight train. The territory
in the wake of the fire is not thickly
settled and the blaze had made con-
siderable headway before it was no
ticed. Starting on the south side of
the Great Northern right of way, the
flames were famed by slight north
wind and soon developed into roar
ing fire of huge deminsions. Nearby
settlers rushed to the scene and
fought the demon as best they could
and apparently had it under CONTROL,
when a sudden change in the wind
started the flames anew.
Hay Burned
1t is estimated that 400 tons of
hay were destroyed. Practically all
Of it had been put up by the Indians
and most of it had been sold in the
field to sheep and stock men. Several
small uninhabitable shacks were also
burned to the ground. There was no
loss of life.
Loses Crop
Old Chief Feather Earring was
among the heavy losers, his entire
crop of wheat and oats being dis
troyed.
The settlers sent word to the Indian
agencies at Wolf Point and Poplar
and men were sent to the scene from
both places. They succeeded in get
ing the blaze under control about
noon Tuesday after it had burned
/ strip about three miles wide ex-
lending from the track to the river.
Just what the monitary damage
vas is hard to estimate.
Smoke from the fire hung over
Wolf Point for two days. Many resi-
tents were of the opinion that it was
smoke from forest fires in Minnesota.

RED men HAVE fine
HARVEST FESTIVAL
DISPLAY GRAINS AND GRASSES
SPORT PROGRAMS AND
ENTERTAINMENT

Wolf Points first Indian Harves1
Festival closed Saturday night after
three days filled with education, ex-
citement and entertainment.
The Harvest Festival was success
from every point of view and will be
made an annual affair.
1t was a demonstration of what can
be done with and by the Indians un-
der intelligent supervision Many
words of praise for Supt. Kitch were
heard on the grounds during the fes-
tival and the progress made by the
Indians is largely due to his untir-
ing efforts.
The display of agricultural pro-
ducts was a pleasing surprise, sur
passing anything the red men have
grown heretofore Space will rcs
permit complete list of the prizes
and winners.
The sport programs were of high
order and presented in an orderly
manner. Races were fast and while
no speed records were broken the
contestants put enough pep into their
steeds to make each race exciting.
A complete repertoir of out door
sports was presented on each of the
three days and lively competition
marked the various events.
Presentation of the Pageant of
Progress was one Of the most inter
esting features and included care
fully planned and well executed re-
cital of the progress made by the In
dians since the coming of the whites.
Cooking without fire, buffalo hunt,
native dances, war costumes and or
ginal forms of entertainment were
al included.
An all-Indian jazz band furnished
music for the afternoon programs
md it was real band.
Saturday was the big day. AT the |
conclusion of the days program the
Judges awarded the prizes and the !
estival closed with an Owl dance at
,tennes hall that evening. Il
Financially the festival went over
nth bang. All expenses were paid
nd a nice balance left in the treas
ry to prepare for next year.
The officers of the permanent or
are Thos. Flynn, president;
Ienry Blacktail, vice-president; Joe
7ilson, secretary; Charles Track,
'easurer.

control of county affairs in the midst
of such influences
During the two years that Poplar
has been on trial as Temportry Coun-
vt Seat the public has had an unusual
opportunity to judge what kind of
a permanent county seat Poplar
would be.
If, while on trial, the Poplar Gang
has soaked the tax payers as they
have, while feathering their own
nests, what will they do as Perma-
nent County Seat? 1t might be bet
ter to ask what will they not do :?
Poplar by large majority has voted
for gang candidates throughout the
history of the county and even now,
after being caught red-handed, and
put up against the blaze, is hopping
to retain control of the County
Board. They have taken up the
economy argument but are shy of
supporting the Economy Ticket.
They talk economy only when it
suits their purpose, the rest of the
time they forget it.
What chance have the people of
the county to retain control of their
affairs in community with such re-
cords Upheavals may be brought
about and officials turned out, but
sooner or later the voters, busy with
their own affairs, relax their vigi-
lance. But the gang politicians
never forget and always are on the
job. Sooner or later they will be
found again firmly established at the

Whether the test weight should be

Are YOU CARELESS
ABOUT FIRE HAZARD
THIS : is FIRE PREVENTION
WEEK-NATION is USING
EXTREME CAUTION

The nationwide fire prevention
campaign opened Monday and con-
tinues throughout the week. Wolf
Point is doing its share to make the
city safe from fire by cutting weeds
and giving the town general clean
up. Are you doing your part
1t is time that we awaken to what
yearly toll of $4,000 lives and close
to $500, 100000 in property loss, if
long continued, will mean to this
country. Needless of ordinary rules
of prevention and carlessness are
clearly at the bottom of all but
small fraction of the loss, which
means that such an annual toll on
the nations people and the peoples
dollars is needless and inexcusable.
Fire Is Common Enemy
Suppose that some foreign power
were allowed to levy a cash tribute
against us amounting to S500,000,-
900 year. What howl of protest
would go up from every real Ameri-
can. Yet with scarcely thought or
murmur we surrender a sum only
thife short of that to the common
enemy of fire every IL months Such |
complacency in the face of life and
property destruction, unparalleled I
anywhere in the world, is one of our
least comprehensive characteristics.
A Few Don'ts
Don't leave electric f1atirons or
other heating devices turned on
while attending to something else.
Don't throw your lighted matches
material where they can
possibly cause fire.
Don't smoke in bed; perhaps those
guilty of this practice are too green
% burn, but the beds are not.
"Don't let children play with ;
matches or bonfires.
Don't fail to have your defective
himneys and flues mended If not
leaned, the pipe may overhead and
tart fire when you operate your \
urnace. e
Don't neglect to protect walls, :
eilings and partitions from the over n
edeliig VI STOVES, luTIdceS ara pipes. h
Don't put hot ashes into wooden .
oxes or barrels.
Don't fill oil lamps or stoves by
n open fame light.
Don't let rubbish accumulate.
&'Don't fail to keep a bucket of .,
ind in convenient place for use in i
ase of fire; they may save the lives .;
your family as they have those of a,
hers" 60
By following these simple rules n
e fire hazard will be reduced to a q,
inimum. Carelessness is the cause
more fire loss than all other ~
uses combined. Be careful and
IA will be safe.
