Murray passed the check to Mr.;
Kelleher in a confident manner and
Mr.. Kelleher began to question MIN

PRESIDENT IN MOVIES
TO AID GOOD ROADS

The President of the United States
is so much interested in good roads
that he has appeared in a movie film,
which is good roads propaganda,
sponsored by Henry Ford. The hero
of the little %two-reeler is a country
boy who is presented by the Presi-
dent with a scholarship for a prize
essay. Later the boy becomes a CIV
il engineer, devoting his life to the
building of better roads in order to
make his section of the country a
better place in which to live.
President Coolidge is SO familiar
with farms and farm life that he has
an intimate and first-hand acquaint-
ance with what good roads mean to
farmer, and coming, as he does,from
one of the pioneer good roads states
of the Union, knows personally what
hard surface highways do for those
who live along them.

COMMUNITY TREE ADDS
The CHRISTMAS TOUCH

Through a bit of friendly coopera-
ton a very handsome Christmas tree
decorated with electric lights added
to the Christmas cheer on Main
street. Rev. J.. w. Kuller first sug-
gested the community tree and the
Woman's Club cooperated with him.
Rev. Kuller wrote to Rev. H. j.
Frame of Columbia Falls, who per-
sonally went out into the forest and
selected the tree which he shipped.
When it came the railroad boys took
up a collection and paid the express
on it, 7. J.. DelaHunt donated his
services to haul it to the position it
occupies on Main street, opposite the
p~ostofice, the Wolf Point Mercan-
tile Co. furnished the brace wires,
the Electric Shop the fixtures and
the Power Company the current to
light it each evening during holiday
week. Others helped erect the tree.
The cost of getting the tree from the
forest to the station will be taken
care of by the Woman's Club.
Christmas night carols were sung
around the tree. The community
Christmas tree is a very successful
institution in a great many towns,
large and small, and it is hoped that
another year Wolf Point may have
a more general community celebra-
ton.
