LEGION ACTIVE FOR
CIVIC IMPROVEMENTS

carry on for civic improvements
and will take the initiative for one
project at time. While not def

eral meeting at The Sherman dining
room, March 9th. at 500 p. m. 1t is
hoped that representatives of every
organization in the community will
attend. The swimming pool project
will be thoroughly gone into and sug-
gestions will be welcome.

tend, whether they belong to the post
or not. Refreshments viii be served.

BIGGEST FOX PICTURE
AT LIBERTY NEXT WEEK

Queen of Sheba," a William Fox
super-special which enjoyed a sensa-
tional run on Broadway, New York,
is booked for the Liberty theatre next
Thursday Friday. 1t is rescribed as
a stupendous spectacle and great
love story. New York critics hailed
it as one of the greatest photodramas
ever produced.
1t is declared that the epageantry
of Queen of Sheba" is unsurpassed
for magnifcence on the screen and
that few such thrilling spectacles as
the chariot race ever have been pre-
sented in motion pictures.
The filming of the picture took an
entire year. Throughout the period
a huge force of workers in many lines
of endeavor was employed, and in
addition every member of the Fox
on the west coast
actors, clerical workers, artisans and
all-took a personal interest in the
of the stupendous produc-
ton and lent their aid to it. Tom
Mix, for instance, volunteered his
services in rendering the chariot race
realistic.
Betty Blythe appears in the role
Of the Queen, Fritz Lieber, the noted
actor, is King Solo
man, and Clair de Lorez in Queen
wife of Solomon.

WOMEN INITIATE
MOVE FOR LIBRARY
PUBLIC LIBRARY FOR CITY is
PRESENT NEED-WOMEN'S
CLUB TO PUSH PROJECT

That Wolf Point is in need of a
public library is the opinion of all
who have given the matter thought
and the Woman's club, at a recent
meeting, voted to go ahead and push
the project. Plans are now under
way and it is probable that a library
will be started in the course of very
few monthhs.
| 1t will be remembered that sew
eral years ago the Woman's club
then the Civic league, established a
library of several hundred volumes.
When it was decided to discontinue
the library, such of the books as were
in suitable condition were stored at
the school house and later catalogued
with the school library.
Mrs. Hauge, president of the Wo-
mans club, when interviewed regard
ing the matter, stated that at a little
later date there would be more def
mite information to be given out than
there is at the present time, but she
gave assurance that every citizen who
is interested in doing so, will have
an opportunity of assisting to make
the library plan success.
In nearly every town where there
is a public library it has been started
in small way and has gradually
grown. Often times the nucleus of
a library is formed by donations of
books which have been read and en-
joyed by the donors, and it is un-
doubtedly true that in many Wolf
Point homes there are books which |
have been enjoyed, but which the
owners would be willing tO give to
the librs1y If all the citizens co
operate with the Woman's club, the
library should start out win good
ly number of volumes. Watch The
Herald for further announcements.

ST. Paul, Mimi, March 6.-Thirty
new freight and % new passenger

RESULT AT BOHEMIAN
MISSOULA l6, POPLAR IA

Missoula, 1922 state champions
had the scare of its life in the opener
winning from Poplar in 16 to ID
overtime game. The Quintet of Pop
lar Indians showed a surprising fa-
miliarity with long shots and guard
ed so closely that Kelly was the only
Missoulaite to make field goal He
got pair McHaffie, Missoula's 1922
all-star guard, scored the remainder
of the free throws, registering IL
out of II chances.
1t was the Poplar's quint's fre-
quent fouling that allowed McHaffie's
sure try for free throws to score the
victory. The regular time ended with
a 13 to Is tie. Missoula did not look
as good as in 1922 and seems unable
to get close to the basket.

UNITED EFFORT FOR
FEDERAL ROAD AID
CONGRESS ASKED TO PROVIDE
FOR HIGHWAYS ACROSS
PUBLIC LAND

P. N. Bernard, chairman of the
highway committee in the lower house
of the Montana legislature, just adj
! journed, is urging he newspapers of
the state to assist in giving publicity
! to the movement started in the pub
lie land states of the West for fed
eral appropriation to construct roads
through the Indian reservations, for
est reserves and all government own
ed lands.
The committee secured the passage
of House Joint Memorial No. 4, pre-
pared by Bernard, and started some
thing which is believed will be taken
up and boosted in all the states in
terested. In his letter Mr.. Bernard
says:
"This memorial has been sent to
every congressman and senator in
the public land states and all the re-
plies have been very satisfactory, and
nearly all have stated that they will
be glad to take the matter up In a
bill at the next session of congress"
The Importance of this work can
hardly be overestimated, and the fed
eral government, in setting aside
money to do worok that really be-
longs to it, will also be cooperating
in very practical way to develop
the wealth of the western states.
What Memorial Asks
Some of the more essential and
parts of the memorial
are quoted:
Memorial to the congress of the
United States praying for an appro-
priation to provide for the construc-
ton of public roads leading into and
trough national forests, Indian res
ervations and other public land areas
Whereas, there are in the thirteen
public land states of the Northwest
382 ,032,487 acres of unappropriated
and unreserved public lands. Indian
and National forest areas
that are non-taxable and that do not
contribute to the building of public
roads except the 25 per cent of the
gross proceeds of the forests and it
1nly a negligible amount. The non
axable areas of these states are as
ollows:
