of the dramatic and screen world in
terpret the leading roles in Driven"
the Charles Brabin-U Universal-Jewel

erty theatre Thursday Friday for an

respondent, writer Of fiction, dramat-
ic actor, screen artist, and last but

Then there is Emily Fitzroy, fa-
nous character actress in America,
England and Australia, and playing
the difficult and important role of a
Spartan mother in this production,
and Elinor Fair, one of the daintiest
and most talented Of the younger
actresses of the screen. George Ban

and is at his best in this picture.
Surely bunch of names to conjure
with.

GOVERNOR PINCHOT
IS COAL MEDIATOR

Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania
who was requested to act by Presi-
dent Coolidge, concluded Tuesday
the first stage of his mediation in the
anthracite wage controversy which
threatens to tie up the mines Sept.
1. I'm an executive session nearly
three hours long he heard the spokes-
men of the anthracite operators who
explained to him why they have to
date offered solely arbitration to sat
isfy the union demands The miners
representatives. he saw Monday.
Again at the conclusion of the
meeting Tuesday the governor was
silent as to the course of discussion.
He did, however, announce that he
would later in the day see both sides
again and separately. Observers
consider it possible that at the latter
sessions he would advance his own
proposal for compromising the diff
ferences.
The terms of the expected COM
promise suggestion was kept closely
secret.
The union demand for SO day
increase for workers paid by the day
and a 20 per cent increase in the
contract rates for mining coal along
with the check-off system of dues
collection have not been reduced at
the sessions with the governor.

BOYS DESTROY MELONS
in MAERTIN'S PATCH

Archie Maertin's melon patch east
of town was raided a few nights ago
and his entire crop of about 250 fine
melons was destroyed. Quite a
number of young boys are implicated
in the affair. A few of the melons
were taken to eat and the others
were broken open, or holes were
poked in them with sticks in such a
manner as to stop their growth and
make them unfit for use.
Mr.. Maertins reported the case to
Judge Gordon and he appointed a
committee of disinterested men, J.
B. Randall, John Coffey and Andy
Wigtil, to inspect the patch and pass
on the amount of damage. They re-
ported that the damage would easily
amount to $40 or $50 Mr.. Maertin
stated his willingness to give half of
the amount to some charitable cause
if he is reimbursed for the loss of
his melons. Just what action will
be taken with regard to the punish
ment of the boys has not been de-
cided.
There have been other melon
patches raided recently and melons
not eaten have been wantonly de-
and there are many in town
who feel that the punishment given
these youngsters should be sufficient
and of such a nature to discourage
further vandalism along this line.

AIR MAIL SERVICE
PROVES SUCCESS
GOVERNMENT FIVE-DAY TEST
BREAKS ALL CROSSE -CONTI-
NENT RECORDS

All records for a flight across the
continent were broken Friday wher
Pilot Wesley L. Smith of the all
mail service landed at Hempstad
! N. Y, at IL ID o'clock eastern time
completing a relay mail flight from
San Francisco in 26 hours and Ia
minutes.
The best previous record was held
by Lieutenants Kelley and McReady
of the army air force who made a
nonstop flight recently from New
York to San Diego in 26 hours and
SO minutes. The route taken by the
mail plane was longer than that
covered by the army flyers.
Four Hours Under Schedule
The mail flight conducted by Pilot
Smith, was completed in four hours
and one minute less that the schedul-
ed 30 hours and Is minutes. The
last lap Of the flight, from Cleveland
was covered in three hours and 26
minutes.
The San Francisco mail brought
through by Pilot Smith was the third
batch to arrive here in the tests the
.postoffice department has been con-
Quoting this week. The pouches left
San Francisco Thursday morning at
6 O'Clock, Pacific time.
The straightaway flying time from
the coast, it was announced, was an
hour less than the elapsed time, as
there are six stops and ten minutes
is required at each stop.
Passes Outbound Pilot
The elapsed time bettered by one
hour and seven minutes the time of
the east bound flight ended Thurs
day, which had set a record for the
transcontinental mail tests.
AS Smith was crossing Central
Park at Fifty-ninth street, losing the
of 10000 feet which he had
maintained during most of the flight
from Cleveland, he passed over Pilot
Collins, going out with the west
bound mail Smith said he had ex
perienced freezing temperature at
high altitude.
Makes West-bound Record
Another record in the air mail
transcontinental day and night test
fights was established Friday when
Pilot C. K. Vance brought his air
olane in from Reno at "a p. M, or
,wo hours and Al minutes ahead of I
schedule
Thursdays airplane arrived here
1t 1:45 p. M, the record up to that
,ime, and Fridays feat clipped II
minutes from that record.

ENDS LIFE'S JOURNEY.
AMONG STRANGERS

4 w. w. Wilson, who gave his age
as IA, died at the County Farm at
the north edge of town Sunday, Aug.
20. He came down the Missouri in
small boat and pitched camp on
the river bank a few weeks ago. At
that time he was a total stranger in
this community, and very little was
learned about him during his stay,
as he seemed disinclined to give out
information concerning his past life
or his connections. Letters found in
his pocket after death were address,
ed to him at Great Falls but he had
stated that he started from Fort
Benton. Efforts will be made to
reach the persons in the east whose
names are signed to some of the let
ters. Bright's disease and other
complications werezgiven as the cause
of his death. 1t is presumed that
illness was the cause of his stopping
here and his condition was serious
before it came to the attention of
authorities
Wilson was a tall man, probably
about six feet two, with blue eyes,
gray hair and steel gray moustache.
From what little he gave out about
himself it appeared that he had fol-
lowed the life of a riverman and
trapper and signs were not lacking
among the meagre belongings he left
that he was a man of some educa-
tion and sometime occupied a happier
and more important station than
that in which the end of life's jour
ney found him. His body was buried
in Greenwood cemetery on Monday,
Aug. 27. His possessions, including
a very few dollars in cash, are being
cared for in the hope of locating his
friends.

THE WHEN HOW and
WHY OF SEED CORN
COUNTY AGENT SAYS GET TWO
YEARS SUPPLY OF THE
BEST BY 10TH

September l to 10 has been pro-
claimed by Commissioner Davis as
seed corn selection days for the state
of Montana.
Roosevelt county has such a fine
corn yield this year and such fine
prospects as a corn growing county
that it would be folly for us who are
interested in raising corn not to
field select good supply of early
maturing, high class seed corn.
Select Right Type
Corn can be made about the type
that is desired by field selection. The
height of the ear, the length of shank
the type of ear and kernal, together
with the maturity, can all be regu-
lated to quite degree by field Sc
lection. Hense it is up to us who
are interested in making our corn of
the highest type to take a little
pains in this respect. And then too,
the average killing frost date for
this county is September Is, but
some years it comes earlier and
some years later
A Two-Hour Job
Some years it may come before
our best dent corns are matured; for
that reason it is always a good idea
to get enough seed for two years so
we won't get caught without sup
ply of good acclimated seed.
1t takes only a bushel to seven
acres. A pocket sack over the back
and two hours work will do it
If hung in a dry place it will dry
without injuring the germ and will
insure the best stand the next year
