TYPE OF MAN NEEDED
FOR COUNTY TREASURER

R. M. Kellogg Is the type of man
that all classes of voters can ano
do indorse for County Treasurer
An on-the-land farmer, man who
works with his hands as well as his
head, former railroad man, man
with business experience, he appeals
to them all.
Missouri was originally his home
and St. Louis his home city. For
several years previous to coming to
Montana he held a position as yard
master in railroad yards.
Coming to Montana 13 years ago
Mr.. Kellogg filed on land near Lam
ark and later bought the Jess Will
liams place, both of which he has i'm
proved and far1ned. He says his orr
ginal idea was a stock ranch, not ex-
pecting that the country would be
settled for a number of years. But
it was only a year or two until he
was surrounded by neighbors and
diversified farming was the logical
thing.
He is a reader and thinker and
keeps in touch with the times. Those
who know him best say that with
Roy NJ. Kellog in the treasurer's Of
fee the county's money and the
county's business would be handled
in a businesslike manner with good
faith toward the taxpayers interests.
A vote for Kellogg is vote for re
form and economy in the treasury
Mr.. Kellogg is 46 years of age
and has a wife and five children.

GRAIN GROWERS WILL
HAVE LOCAL MANAGER

August Nelson, of Plentywood, dis
trict manager for the Grain Growers,
was in the city Tuesday and says that
he has resigned as district manager
and will be succeeded by Arthur Rue
Der, who was also here.
Mr.. Reuber gave the information
that local manager will be supplied
for Wolf Point as soon as threshing
is well under way. Grain for the pool
will be handled at all local elevators.
He says 1 500 farmers in this district
have signed up their 1922 crop for the
pool and basing estimates on last
years production this will mean be-
tween three and four million bushels

Herting family, the amount being
$62.50 1t was paid by warrant No.
572. The warrant and interest will
eventually be paid by the taxpayers,
of course.
Criticism can scarcely be passed
on Mr.. Herting, who is a farmer in
about the same circumstances as the
average of his community, for ac-
cepting the far-sighted kindness of
the county officials. Living about
equally distant from Poplar and Wolf
Point is his good fortune in this case.
His good will is valuable to the politi-
cal center and Temporary County
Seat. No blame can attach to the
dentist, he performed the work
The Wolf Point herald., 1922-08-17

that came to him, earned his fee,
and could not be expected to question
the source of his pay.
1t is not large item, S62.50 and
interest, but.it is the principle in
volved that is important. 1t illus
trates the cost to the taxpayers of
building up a political organization
for a Temporary County Seat. When
it comes to great, constructive work
like reinforcing political fences, it
is a mere incident to abandon county
fair improvements and move the
county fair to new site where new
are a necessity. The
county pays, the politicians and their
pet town reap the benefit.

BIG CROP REQUIRES
MANY NEW THRESHERS

Garden and Lee report a rushing
business in threshing rigs. So far
they have sold new separator to
Fred Ward of Sand Greek, a new
separator to John P. Cluth of Sand
Creek, one to w. H. Baldwin, who
resides 20 miles southwest; one to
w. H. Jacobs, south of Oswego.
Frank Graws Of Nina and Jos.
Readdicker of Lustre each purchased

A strong sentiment for a change
in certain county offices prevails
over the county generally. The way
to accomplish this change is to vote
for the "Clean House" candidates at

Slump in Microscopes.

The general depression in the OPP
teal trade is being felt very severely
by British microscope makers, most
of whom are working with reduced
stats. Some are only working alter
nate weeks. This is partly due, no
doubt, to overproduction during the
war, when a large number of micro
scopes were supplied to the order Of
the government, but even taking this
into account, the demand is now alb
normally small. With hospitals pow
erty is a natural excuse, but in other
cases, such as that of schools, it is not
so easy to explain why so few new
instruments are being purchased. Ac-
cording TO one large firm the great
majority of microscopes now pur-
chased are for purposes connected
with mineralogy.-Ma Manchester Guar

CHAPTER vi

Vacation, In spite Of increased leis-
ure, may bring inconvenience to people
in Ramsey's strange but not uncom-
mon condition. At home his constant
air was that of a badgered captive
plaintively silent under injustice; and
he found it difficult to reply calmly
when asked where he was going-an
inquiry addressed to him, he asserted,
every time he touched his cap, even
to hang it up!
The amount of evening walking he
did must also have been trial to his
nerves, on account Of fatigue, though
the ground covered was not vast. Mil
las mother and father were friendly
people, but saw no reason to ''move
out of house and home" as Mr.. Rust
said, when Milla had callers; and
on account of the intimate plan Of
their small dwelling a visitors only
alternative to spending the evening
with Mr.. and Mrs. Rust as well as
with Milla, was to invite her to ego
out walking"
Evening after evening they walked
and walked and walked, usually In
company-at perhaps the distance Of
half a block-with Albert Paxton and
Sadie Clews though Ramsey now and
then felt disgraced by having fallen
into this class; for sometimes it was
apparent that Albert casually had his
arm about Sadie's waist. This allured
Ramsey somewhat, but terrified him
more. He didn't know how such mat
| tiers were managed.
Usually the quartet had no destina-
ton; they just went "out walking"
until ten o'clock, when both girls had
to be nome-and the boys did, too,
but never admitted it. On Friday eve
nings there was a public open-air con-
cert by brass band in a small park,
and the four were always there.

Two friends put up at hotel, and
one of them could not sleep or for
some other reason got up early the
following morning and went for walk
before breakfast.
He returned in time to join his
friend at the meal, and was greeted
by the jocular:
up and early this morning, Bill.
What's the trouble?"
"How do you know I was up early,
Jim?" Bill fenced.

Of Course John Was spooflnq.

The late John Kendrick Bangs came
upon a friend one afternoon in a field
taking photographs. His camera was
pointing at a haymow and the scene,
while one to delight a person of keen
artistic sensibility, apparently did not
strike the humorist as anything out of
the ordinary.
"Hallo, Rudolph" he remarked +;
"what in the world are you doing
there?"
"Just you come over here and look
at the reflection on my ground glass
and you will see," said his friend with
much fervor. Bangs ventured over
and put his head under the cloth.
"Ah. now see," he said gravely. 1.-THE

oh, Ramsey! If you had to make your
self SO conspicuous why couldn't you

intellectual girl. We both say that II
you must be so ridiculous at your age
as to persist in seeing more Of one girl
than another, why, oh, why, don't you
go and see some really nice girl like
Dora Yocum?"
Ramsey was already dangerously
dfstended, as an effect of the earlier
part Of her discourse, and the word
"fastidious" almost exploded him; but
upon this climax, "Dora Yocum," he
blew up with SCATTERING report and,
leaving fragments of incoherence rico
chetting behind him, fled shuddering
from the house.
For the rest of the school term he
walked home with Milla every after
noon and on Sundays appeared to have

CHAPTER v.

The next morning Ramsey came into
his fathers room while Mr.. Milholland
was shaving, an hour before church
time, and it became apparent that the
son had something on his mind, though
for a while he said nothing.
did you want anything, Ramsey"
'Well-'
didn't want to borrow my razors"
mo, sir"
Mr.. Milholland chuckled. ST hardly
supposed so seriouslyl Shaving is
great nuisance and the longer you keep
away from it the better. And when
you do, you let my razors alone, young
fefler"
''Yes, sir" (NIr. Nilholland's razors
were safe. Ramsey had already
achieved one Of his own, but he prac-
ticed the art in secretly

money!"
:'No, sir. You gay me some Fri
day."
Mr.. Milholland turned from his mir
ror and looked over the edge of a
towel at his son. In the boys eyes
there was such dumb agony Of inter-
rogation that the father was a little
startled.
"Why, what is it, Ramsey? Have
you" He paused, frowning and won
dering. "You haven't been getting in
to some mess you want to tell me
about, have you?"
mo, sir"
His tone was meek, but a mute dis
tress lurked within it, bringing to the
fathers mind disturbing suspicious,
and foreshadowing of indignation and
Of pity. "See here, Ramsey" he said,
'if there's anything you want to ask
me, or to tell me, you'd better out with
IT and get it over. Now, what is it?'
"WelI-it isn't anything"
"Are you sure?"
Ramsey's eyes fell before the severe
and piercing gaze of his father. eyes,
SIR"
Mr.. MilhoIland shook his head doubt
fully; then, as his son walked slowly
out Of the room, he turned to complete
his toilet In a somewhat uneasy frame
of mind. Ramsey had undoubtedly
wanted to say something to him and
the boys EXPRESSION had shown that
the matter in question was serious,
distressing, and, it might be, critical.
In fact it waste Ramsey. Having
begun within only the last few hours
to regard haberdashery as Of vital i'm
portance, and believing his father to
be possessed Of the experience and au-

thority lacking in himself, Ramsey had
come to get him to settle question
which had been upsetting him badly,
in his own room, since breakfast What
he wanted to know was: Whether it
was right to wear an extra handker-
chief showing out Of the coat breast
pocket or not, and, If 1t was right
ought the handkerchief to have a col
ored border or to be plain white? But
ne had never before brought any such
perplexities to his father, and found
himself too diffident to set them forth.
However, when he left the house
a few minutes later, he boldly showed
an inch of purple border above the
pocket; then, as he saw himself about
to encounter several old lady pedes-
TRANS, he blushed and thrust the hand
kerchief down into deep conceaIment.
Having gone a block farther, he pulled
il up again; and so continued to oper-

Chinese Women

OF so little account is woman in
China that a father, if asked the num-
Der of his children, will probably leave
out the girls in his reckoning. In the
very great majority of cases the girls
are not taught to read or write, for the
simple reason, as the men would say,
that it is useless for girls to learn to
read. All the restrictive customs are
based on the idea that woman is be-
ing inferior to man. ~

RooseveIt's Circulating Library.

When President Roosevelt was In
the White House the study was in ma
ture that OF a circulating library. He
had books upon all kinds of subjects
although nature books and hunting
books predominated. 1t is said, how,
ever that there was not a book on
fishing in the whole collection, for
Mr.. Roosevelt liked every other kind
of outdoor sport but never went fish
ing, a fact which has been some
what resented by the followers of the
sport.
If Presidents Of the United States
chose to receive gifts they could fill
the east room, the study, the blue
room, the green room and rooms OF
other colors. The presents, however,
which Presidents are allowed to take
are few. Certain gifts have come from
the powerful ones of the earth, foreign
monarchs whose offerings could not be
declined without giving offense, but
as most of them have been articles
of an innocuous kind they have been
taken in the spirit in which they were
given. King Menelik's gift was innoc
uous as long as it was kept behind
bars. It consisted of two lions which
his majesty was pleased to have Mr..
Roosevelt accept some years ago. The
beasts are now in a cage in the
