Northwest Has
Touch Of Winter
Duluth Reports Blizzard With 68
Mile Gale Over Lake Superior

Chicago, Dec. IA high wind
brought the first severely cold
weather to the states of the middle
west today while the northwest for
the second time this winter was
in the grip Of sub-zero temperatures.
Cold wave warnings were issued for
the Ohio and Missippi valleys and
forecasters predicted the cold wealth
er in the northwest would spread
eastward today, preceded, however,
by rising temperature.
The co1dest weather recorded this
winter prevailed in the northern part
of the rock mountain region. Temper
atures ranged from 12 to 27 below in
Wyoming and Montana. The south
ern portion of the region, 1t was pre-
dicted, would be greeted by the cold
wave today.
Apparently the center of the cold
wave continued to hold in Montana,
as Miles City reported the lowest
temperature last night, reading 27
degrees Glow zero. Other Montana
points were also two or three de-
grees over that mark.
Throughout the cold wave section
reports indicated a high wind which
intensified the cold.
A dropping thermometer, weather
forecasters announced, heralded the
arrival of the cold wave in Missouri
Kansas and Oklahoma, giving those
states their first real winter. The
mercury was expected to reach ten
aove early btoday and continue its
downward progress until near zero
tonight.
Cold wave warnings have been is
sued for Ohio, Kentucky, West Vir-
ginia, western Pennsylvania, western
and northern New York, western Ten
nessee and extreme northern Miss
iissippi. Colder weather was predict
ed also, for Colorado and western
Texas, accompanied by snow.

". P.-Pop|ar
Fight Still On
Poplar Gets Injunction Restraining
Transfer to Wolf Point.

Wolf Point, Dec. 9.KThe legal fight
for the permanent county seat of
Roosevelt county considered ended
when the supreme court several days
lago ordered the canvassing board to
include in their count the votes OF
three contested precincts, which gave
Wolf Point a majority, was renewed
Saturday, when Poplar, the temporary
| Icounty seat, obtained temporary or
der restraining the county officials
from removing the government to
Wolf Point.
| The writ carried the signature of
District Judge c. e. Conner and is
lreturnable December 20, when Wolf
Point adherents will be called to
show cause why the order should not
be made permanent. The hearing will
be held before Judge John Greene of
Choteau, Judge Conner having dis
qualified himself from further action
in the proceedings. The hearing will
be held at Poplar.
Amended returns recently filed In
Helena gave Wolf Point the county
seat by a majority of 1872 votes, the
total including the ballots Of the
precincts contested by Poplar on the
grounds that election laws had been
violated. The refusal of the canvass
ers to consider these votes led to
hearing before the supreme court
from which Wolf Point emerged vic
torious. If the supreme court had
thrown out the disputed votes Pop
lar would have won the right to the
permanent county seat by small
margin.
The fight for the county seat has
developed tense feeling between
Wolf Point and Poplar, and there were
times when this feeling threatened t :
arouse violence, but election day pas
ed without any disturbances. Charge
of bribery and buying votes have pas
ed between the two places, and the
is said to be determination on t
part of Poplar not to release its hq
on the county seat until all leg
measures have been exhausted.

XMAS SEALS PAY THE BILLS

The 18th Annual seal sale of the
Montana tuberculosis Association
was launched December 1st, and will
/ be continued until after Christmas
It ia being conducted in McCone.
County by Mrs. H. A. Jensen OF Cir
Gle.
The Christmas seal this year is a
radical departure from former de-
signs. In addition to the conventional
| Christmas tree and the double-bar-
red. cross it contains the figures OF a
mother and child. This is significant
/ of the increased interest that is being
taken in the problems Of lhild health
Tree years ago the tuberculosis As
sociations adopted Child Welfare
work as one of their primary func-
tions. since experience taught that
the path toward the goal of prevent
ing tuberculosis lies in building up
the resistance and the formation of
proper health habits in childhood. Is
not the symbol Of the child most fit
ting?.
The Montana tuberculosis Associ-
alton has distributed over three mil
lion( of the Penny Seals of Good
Health, and, under the direction Of
Montana's most public-spirited men
and women confidently expects. to
sell them.
In those days of the high cost of
living one thinks of penny not buy
Ing much but the Montana Tubercu-
losis Association knows that a penny
spent for a Christmas seal goes a
long ways for it buys three things:
ID a thought for Good Health by the
sender; (2) wish for Good Health to
its recipient; 90 and a message of
Good Health conveyed by the Tuber-
culosis Association to one who sorely
needs it. Can a penny do more?
The Montana tuberculosis Asso-
citation is supported solely with funds
raised through the sale. 95 per cent
of the sale proceeds remains in Mon
tana, the other 5 per cent goes to the
National tuberculosis Association so
even a part of this reverts to our
state through its cooperation.
What is Done With The Money
1t enables the Montana Tuberculo-
sis Association to carry on Health
work along the following lines through
Public Health Nursing Demonstra.
tions; through Modern Health Cru
sade; through clinics; through inten-
sive educational work; through or
ganization of public health associa-
tions; and through Campaigns for ad-
equate facilities for the Tuberculo-
sis of Montana.
Why Do We Sell Seals
Because $40 people died of tuber-
culosis in Montana last year, and ap-
proximately 5000 people in the state
have the disease in actual form. Be-
cause }satxa culosis menaces every
community, every home and every in-e
dividual and yet, tuberculosis is
PREVENTABLE and DURABLE.

Tolbert Scored a Victory.

In the recent Republican conven-
tion which has been much on the lips
of our people, Tolbert scored vic
tory such as he has never won be-
fore. The official list as given out to
the press, shows a representation
from As counties and it has been
said that 65 per cent of the delegates
were white men. Tolbert, the dispen-
ser of Republican patronage in
South Carolina, was so elated and
exultant over the large white repre-
sentation that he said, "It can no
longer be said that there is no one
lin the Republican party in South
Carolina but Joe Tolbert and two ne
groes."
Heretofore he has had but little
prestige and influence in Washing
ton because Of the insignifcance Of
the Republican party in this state,
practically all Of the limited num-
Der being negroes. Now he can take
the official list of delgates which was
given by the secretary of the con-
vention to The State for publication
to Washington and show that IS
per cent of the large number We're
white men. Furthermore, he secured
the endorsement of the convention,
for the position of marshal of the
Western District, which will make it
more difficult for the Democrats in
the senate to defeat his nomination
for that place.
Viewed from every angle, Tolbert,
gained much ground personally and
politica W. reueih the sonye1Etlissn
wit, Wit. its 65S pei. cent Of white dele:
gates. Unfortunately, if Tolbert,
takes the official list Of delegates to
Washington as given out to the
press for publication, Edgefeld coun-
ty, which has probably suffered
through the Tolberts more than any
other county in the State, will have
contributed to this victory, as this
list contains the names of two repre-
sentative white men from this coun-
ty, this being the first time in many
decades that the names Of represen-
tative white men have been associat-
ed or connected with Republican
convention in this state. Thus Edge
field county has been Inundated.
