Turkey Football

The state championship high
school football game will be
played In Butte Thanksgiving
day between the Anseonda and
Billings teams. Before the An
aconda- -Harlowtown game the
Anaconda team ruled as favor
ties but since that game the odds
are about even. Fans here who
saw Peters of Billings kick and
pass are backing the Billings
team. In Great Falls the Bill
ings team were never compelled
to disclose any of their special
feature plays while in Butte the
Anaconda team were compelled
to draw on their reserve 10
stave off defeat.
Thanksgiving day the Great
Falls high school football team
take on their old rivals, the
Butte high at Great Falls. This
should be good game as the
teams are apparently evenly
matched.

Holt Will Sell Out

. C. w. Holt has decided TO join the
firm of which B. j. Boorman, former.
ly of Great Falls, is president at Oak
land, Cal. He expects to leave about
January lst. He will dispose of his
local business and we may expect to
see a new firm take the plant of The
Holt Lumber company.
The picture of the Boorman lumber
yards at Oakland shows that the sur
roundings in their new home will be
beautiful and reports from California
show that that state is the Mecca for
every man who desires a change of To-
cation. s
Among the former Great Falls men
associated with this company in Cal

On Saturday President Coolidge be-
gan the final polishing of his forth
coming message to congress, which
many observers believe will have an
important bearing on his future polit-
ical fortunes. He completed the main
part of his work on the document on
Friday and all that remains to be
done before it is sent to the printer
is the clarifying of the language Of
several sections.
The message is expected to be brief,
while house officials have made II
known that the president intends to
present his recommendations without
large argument or discussions. but ON
the basis of what he feels TO be their
intrinsic soundness. Little Is known
of the details Of the message but IL Is
generally thought that its principal
sections will deal with taxation, agr-
cultural relief and transportation.

given recognition in committee assign

WHEN OVER JEALOUS statesmen INJURE BUSI-
NESS IN LAND SALES the State to organize
department publicity that will protect those who
would buy and the reputation of soils and
duction of lands.
In the wonderful western State of California it has
become necessary to create Department of Real Estate
which charged with prevention of misrepresentation Of
lands and natural advantages to prospective buyer
To get general cooperation in the movement, meet
ing called at San Francisco to discuss important ques
tions which are involved in real estate sales.
In California they are aroused to the injury that is
being done by overzaous real estate saesmen who
always residents of that state but who operate from
offices located in other states where the Real Estate De-
partment of California has no jurisdiction.
These statesmen represent agents who make practice
securing very cheap and then sell it to the public
at large profit
Just at that point the place where the public
bed and the reputation the state dragged in the

In California they propose to have information
