ADVISES STOCK OWNERS
TO ATTEND ROUNDUP

Stock Inspector T. L. Blackmon
wislAs to call the attention of the
ranylers and stoclmen to the round
up hat will be made in the district
norta of Wolf Point by Harry Nc
LeoC and others. He says that Mr..
Mcleod intends to start this roundup
as soon after the Fourth of July as
he can.
Mr.. Blackmon advises all stock
owners who have lost stock to at
tend this roundup when it is in their
vicinity and watch out for their mis-
sing animals. "Some of the rustlers
who live below the forks on Poplar
creek, have been branding unbranded
stuff" says Mr.. Blackmon. This of
coursa makes it difficult IN some cases
to identify lost stock and calls for
special attention and effort on the
part of stock owners. Mr.. Blackmon
is vigilant in his duties and is doing
all he can to assist ranchers who have
lost stock, to cope with the rustlers.

FOOLS PARADISE"
A DeMILLE PICTURE


Like so many other sccessful Cecil
B. DeMille successes, the story of
'Fool's Paradise" which comes to the
Liberty Theatre next Thursday and
Friday, has a two-fold source. The
basic theme was suggested by Leon
ard Merrick's short story "The Laur-
els and The Lady" This theme was
developed and elaborated, the scene
of the action transferred to an Amer
ican setting and tremendous dram
attic moment constructed by the auth
ors. Beula Marie Dix and Sada
Cowan. The combined efforts of the
several writers has produced story
that boasts of both power and orig
inality, the theme-a problem of love
and sacrifice as old and as new as
the human race-has been presented
and solved with the vividness and
sharply drawn characterization that
is typical of Cecil B. DeMille pro-
ductions alone. The principal roles
are played by Dorothy Dalton, Mil
dred Harris, Conrad Nagel, Theodore
Kosloff, John Davidson and Julia
Faye. The cast is large and capable. |

Ride EN- Sioux LET 'Er Buck"

AS the stampede committee round
out their work and decide on de-
tails it becomes more evident that
the big Wolf Point Stampede dated
for July 27, % and 20 will be some
thing to take its place among the
big events in the history of the town.
AS finally agreed on, the CONNER
cial club, backed by a substantial
fund that has already been subscrib-
ed, stands back of the enterprise,
which is being put on substantial
and permanent footing. The clubs
committee has charge of the fnan-
cial and business end, while a COM
mittee of substantial ranchers includ-
ing Hank Cusker, Ray Mitchell and
Billy Knorr, will have the show or
stampede end of it in charge. Ray
Mitchell will be the man actually on
the job to arrange the program of
events, assist in construction of cor
rails and chutes and be the connect
ing link between the business end
and the cowboy Indian end.
The Westside grounds will be re-
built in permanent style. Plans have

WILL TEST OIL FIELD
WITH WELL AT WELDON

About year ago there was con-
siderable excitement and stir regard
ing the possibilities of oil develop
ments over in the Weldon country,
but the matter sort of died down and
it was thought that nothing real
would materialize.
At that time leases were secured
by the Montana National Oil Com
pany of Portland, Oregon, from about
thirty farmers of the immediate We'll
don territory, comprising something
like 10000 acres. These leases were
according to contract made out to
Max Lehman of the First National
Bank of Circle with the understand
ing that drilling rig was to be placed
on the ground and drilling started
by September 1, 1922, and that when
the oil company had fulfilled this
part of it, the leases were to be
turned over to them.
Nothing more has been heard from
the company until last week, when
the oil company placed all of the
leases on record here, spending S75
to have them recorded, and word has
also been received to the effect that
a geologist will soon be out to deter
mine the location of the test well.
General sentiment seems to be that
5he company is going ahead to prop
srly test out the field.
This is about the best real oil news

Is McCone county is concerned. ano

been accepted for a new 100 foot
grand stand and corrals and chutes
of the proper capacity and style will
be constructed. The whole grounds
will be fenced to facilitate handling
stock and handling the crowds. Con-
struction work will begin within a
very few days.
The events of the three days will
be such as to make Stampede and
Wild West show unsurpassed by any
thing of the kind in this part of the
country. When the editors pass
through On the evening of July 20,
Wolf Point will give them an hour or
two Of genuine entertainment.
Advertising matter is being gotten
out in time to have it's effect at the
various Fourth of July celebrations.
The people of this city and the coun-
try around it will lend a hand to
boost the big show by talking about
it and telling others whenever oppor-
tunity offers. It's community af-
fair and the one big one of the sea-
son, so let's go and go strong to
make it mammoth, successful af-
fair.

SIGNING FARMERS
FOR WHEAT POOL
DIST. AGENT, MONT. GROWERS
ASSN. DATES MEETINGS
NORTH COUNTRY

August Nelson of Plentywood,
district representative of the Mon
tana Grain Growers Association, is
in the city today laying plans for a
thorough campaign in this vicinity.
Mr.. Nelson was accompanied by his
brother, John Nelson, and Pete
Brunvold of Comertown. Mr.. Brun-
void is himself farming 1000 acres.
Mr.. Nelson has been identified with
grain marketing work for some time
and is enthusiastic and confident that
the plan will result in better prices
to the farmer. Getting it started is
big job but will be accomplished.
The association has contracted with
more than 600 farmers in the ex-
treme northeastern part of Montana,
mostly in Sheridan county. Based
on last years production, this is
equivalent to 100000 bushels of
wheat. 1t is believed that more than
so per cent of the farmers of this
section of the state will sign con-
tracts. In McCone county 80 per
cent have signed up.
Mr.. Nelson says they will start
their campaign in Roosevelt and Val
ley counties next week. A series of
in the country north of here
is being arranged.

GREAT BALL GAME
WITH SOUTHSIDERS
VIDA TEAM PUTS UP STIFF BAT
TIE BUT LOSES TO LO-
GALS 6 TO 8

There have been some mighty close
and exciting ball games at Westside
part this season but the battle with
the Vida gladiators last Sunday was
in some ways the best of them all
and drew the largest crowd.
Having walloped the Wolves at
their recent picnic, the Southsiders
came hoping to take home a chunk
of the same easy meat, and believe
me, Sadie, they nearly got away with
it. If the old Lacquer, Dye, had been
able to last the route the Grain Grow
ers would just about have nosed out
a victory.
You see when the invaders crossed
the Rubicon on George Littlefield's
big ferry they came pledged to send
back to the home folks Caesars fam
Gus radio message from Egypt:
''Veni, Vida, Vici." And gosh all
hemlock how they did fight for the
right to give the operator the o. k.
But the Legionnaires were whanging
the horsehide with too much regu--
larity. They were positively bad
actors in this respect. Captain Bill
Jacob made a record that may send
him up to the leagues next season
five hits in five times at bat. Third
sacker Tripp was only one behind
with four Doc Burgess hit homer
and by hard sprinting safely reached
third on it.
The visitors were hitting some
themselves but Buzz Funk was there
with the steam and the staying quail
tiles in the pinches. Numerous Wis
itors got on the bases but 'Buzz"
was usually there with the strikeout'
dope for the third out Dick Busby
played his usual masterly game be-
hind the hat.
The fielding feature that electri-
fed the crowd was Frank Champlin's
one-handed. behind-his-back, circus
catch of Krcs5ach's Texas Lacquer
that seemed certainly out of reach.
The Vida boys are regular ball
clean, game players with lot
of natural ability. Among strictly
rural teams they would take the
championship pennant from anything
n the state. Their boxman, Dye,
served his time in the big leagues
md while his arm lasts has a puzzl-
ng underhand delivery. Firstbase-
nan Remley was injured by pitch
ID ball and was succeeded by Schil-
niger. King relieved Dye in the 9Th.
The umpiring of Mcpherson and
smith was very satisfactory.
The Wolf Point herald., 1922-06-29
new MAIL SCHEDULES
NORTH And SOUTH

July 1st new rural schedules will
go into effect between Wolf Point,
Volt and Waska, and Wolf Point and
Vida. The service to Volt and Waska
will be twice a week, leaving Wolf
Point Monday and Friday mornings.
Returning it will leave Waska Tues
day and Saturday mornings.
A new feature will be Star Route
rural service to any who want their
mail deposited in boxes which they
construct along the route. All de-
string to get their mail in this way
must have Wolf Point as their adj
dress. and if it is not such now, must
have their address changed.
G. P. Lamberton was the success
ful bidder for the north route.' He
says that for the summer, he will en-
deavor to have the department change
the schedule so as to allow him to
return the same day he leaves here,
as the round trip can be made in one
day in the summer season.
Tri-weekly to Vida
Fred H. Young secured the con-
tract for this route and succeeds R.
R. Durfey. The service will be made
leaving Vida Mondays,
and Fridays, leaving here
for Vida the same days, at least dur
ing the summer months.
The Star Route service will be
continued as before and may cause
more patrons to get their mail in
his way as the three times week
service will be an improvement of
'eal value.
