Law of Compensation

The law of compensation has
further proof in the matter Of road
building. 1t is frequently observed
that in the process of building a
new road the material has to be
transported by motor trucks over
that portion of the road which is in
good condition. This becomes a
process of wearing out the roads to
build them. Possibly if lighter
vehicles were used the law Of com.
oensation would take effect in wear
ina out the carriers instead of the
roads.

PROCEDURE FOR
RECLASSIFICATION

Many of the settlers on reserva-
tion lands are interested in securing
reclassifcation and reappraisement
of their land, and, while it has been
known that it is possible to secure
consideration, the method of going
about it has not been well under
stood.
C. F. Blaich has written numerous
officials at Washington in an effort
to secure definite information and
the letter he received a few days ago
describes in sufficient detail the man
ner in which to proceed The letter
comes from the assistant commissioner
of the General Land Office and says
that homesteaders should have a
formal request for reclassiication and
reappraisement drawn up, giving the
reasons and supporting the state
ment of his case by the affidavits of
two competent people. This applica-
tion and affidavit are then filed with
the officials of the local land office
Glasgow. No special forms for ap-
plications are provided. The letter
in full appears below.
Mr.. G. F. Blaich,
Wolf Point, Montana.
My dear Mr.. Blaich:
Receipt is acknowledged of your
letter of April 2, 1923, requesting
and blanks for making
application for reclassifcation and
reappraisement of lands.
The method of procedure to fol-
low in making application for reap
praisement of homestead entries is
for the homesteader to make a re-
quest for reclassifcation and reap
praisement of the lands describing
them) stating therein his reasons for
making the request Such applica-
ton and statement must be made un-
der oath and supported by the affi-
davits of two competent parties hav-
ing knowledge of the facts, that the
statements contained in the applica-
ton are correct.
When the application and afida-
Wits have been properly executed they |
should be filed with the Register and
Receiver of the local land Office for
proper action. We have no regular
form for such applications
Very truly yours,
E. B. Merett,
Assistant Commissioner.

ALL JOIN THE CHORUSi

"Your old back yard needs
cleaning, pard"-the mayor has
had his say. "The old tin can must
feel the ban," so goes the rounde-
lay. "The ash heaps tall must heed
the call, its name is nix cum raus;
and rubbish piles of different
styles can't stay around the house.
The trash must go, bu-lieve me
bo; our alleys must be clean; and
round the yards and boulevards
the view must be serene. Last
summers weeds, velocipedes, OF
auto tires and such, must be chased
out or there's no doubt that you
will be in Dutch.
Lets get in line the waters
hne," Hizzoner says to us. He
means you Jim, you also Slim, and
Bill and Pete and Gus. We all are
it to do our bit, to run the rubbish
down, and visitors to our shores
will call this "Spotless Town"

SECOND Community
MEETING WAS fine
PREPARED SPEAKING, MUS
ICAL PROGRAM

The second Community program
held at the high school assembl,
room last Friday evening, was al
even bigger success than was the
first. A varied and entertaining
program held the attention of large
audience.
The meeting was planned and man
agen by o. C. Johnson, assisted by
Secretary Gordon, Supt. F. H. Liv-
ingston and the school and did much
credit to their efforts. The good eff
fects of such gatherings are very no.
ticeable and it is the intention to con-
tinue them at frequent intervals.
The Program
The program as given differed
slightly from the one at first planned
and was:
Opening Number School Band
4Minute TalkH. A. Schoening,
Chairman.
Chorus-Springtime is Coming
--.-.--.---..----.. Fourth Grade Children
Vocal Number American Legion
Quartette.
Defamation -.-. Opal Wright
Musical Trio Misses Everett, Gre
mer and Young.
4Minute Talk on Trees--J. B. Switzer
Song -M Madeline Mitguard
Reading Mrs. J. S. Johnson
Musical Number Shipman Family
Instrumental Number - Mesdames
Chapman and Graybill
4-Minute Talk on Community Spirit
A. T. Listug.
America --By the Audience
So many people heard and were
pleased by the program that it is
scarcely necessary to commend the
numbers in detail. Every one was
good and the success of the whole in
sures sustained interest in the meet
lngs to come.
The 4-minute talks were all we'll
received and applauded NJ. I.istug's
idea of true community spirit was
spoken of as especially apropos. Mrs.
Johnson's reading was warmly en-
,ored.
The musical numbers were very !
pleasing. The Legion quartette is s
llways good. Little Madeline Nit i
ruard has an unusually sweet voice
every number added to the success Of
he evening. l

BUSY DAY IN NEW YORK
WITH NEWSMEN

New York, April 25.-President
Harding Tuesday committed himself
and his administration, without equiv
ocation, to American membership in
the permanent court of international
justice.
Speaking at the annual luncheon
of members of The Associated Press,
Mr.. Harding set forth the reasons
which impelled him to recommend to
to the senate shortly before the adj
journment of congress, the adhesion
of the United States to the world
court protocol as drafted under the
League of Nations, outlined the adj
vantages he believed would accrue
from adoption of the recommends
ton and presented for the first time
answers to the arguments of oppon-
ents of the administration plan.
Party Pledges
In doing so the chief executive as
serted his conviction that American
in the court would be 'in
harmony with party platform pledges
promises and American
1t would not be, and !
could never be construed as being an
Indirect entrance into the League of /
Nations, he declared with emphasis.
The address, made before thous-
md of the nations leading newspaper /
,ditors and publishers, was generally
as the beginning of the
presentation which the president plans
o make during the spring and sum-
ner of the principal policies to be
pursued during the next year.
Political leaders throughout the

recommendation, awaited with in
ense interest the address, and Tues
ay night were watching for the
ountry's reaction.
Backs Idea
Whatever reception it might be ac-
orded by the American people. the
resident indicated clearly that he
TODD firmly behind his recommends
ons.
The address was the principal fea-
Ire of the executives visit to New
ork, the first in a year and half.
After the luncheon the president
lrried out to the new Yankee stadi-
m, where he saw New York defeat

ARRIVES FROM MISSOURI

VIM. H. Davis arrived here last
week from Springfield, Missouri, and
intends to spend the summer here
and will perhaps stay longer. He will
make his home with his uncle, VIM.
Crawford, on his farm northeast of
here. Springfield is in southern Mis-
souri,, below Kansas City, and the
jump to northeastern Montana is a
long one and brings contrast in
climate but Mr.. Davis thinks he will
find Montana very interesting.

A TREMENDOUS SET
in BURNING SANDS"
Street in Cairo Shown in This Re-
markable Picture

A tremendous set, representing q
street in Cairo, is shown in George
Melford's splendid production of
Burning Sands" Though nearly a
half mile long, it would not be re-
markable except for the fact that
its full extent is used in night scenes
which involve the intensive use of
most of the sun-arc lamps of the
Paramount studio, as well as extra
motor-generator sets above the three
owned by the studio.
The "night-lighting" of such an
area entails great expenditure of
power, but its full effect is strikingly
seen in this Paramount picture which
comes to the Liberty theatre next
Thursday-Friday and which features
Wanda Hawley and Milton Sills.

that they were particularly interest
ed in the right kind of enthusiasm in
the development of the power of the
student to further his own develop
ment, and in the development of
"sticktoitiveness" was stressed in the
talk. Rev. Johnson told the students
why these points mentioned are i'm
portant to the success of the student.
DR.. Burgess will talk to us next
morning. |
Because of weather conditions the
