SUNDAY GAMBLER RS
CAUGHT BY POLICE
WERE SHOOTING DICE ON
SIDEWALK ON MAIN ST. AS
OFFICER INTERRUPTS.

A group of youthful Senegambians
were rudely disturbed by Policeman
O. L. Mcneil on Sunday afternoon
in their Sabbath diversion of an ex-
citing game of African golf, which
was staged in the heart of Main street
on the sidewalk in front of the Joe
Thomas building.
The dusky manipulators of the
worries were enjoying the game with
such gusto that they failed to note
the approach of the policeman until
he was directly upon them, and then,
being unable to make getaway, the
whole gang was corralled.
The case was scheduled for trial at
mayors court on Monday morning,
but was postponed until the following
day. During the interim, however,
state warrants were served by the
sheriff, and the bold crapshooters
were placed in jail to mediate over
their lack of respect for law.

Help Kidneys
| By Drinking
More Water
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and
Help Neutralize lrri-
tatinq Acids

Kidney and bladder irritations often
result from acidity, says a noted att
thority. The kidneys help filter this
acid from the blood and pass it on to
the bladder, where it may remain to
irritate and infame, causing burning,
scalding sensation, or setting up an lrrl-
tation at the neck of the bladder, oblig-
ing you to seek relief two or three
times during the night The sufferer

sometimes with scaiding sensation and
is very profuse; again, there IS dlffl-
Guilty in voiding it. .,
Bladder weakness, most folks call 1t
because they can't control urinat1on:
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful. this is often
one of the most simple ailments to over
come. Begin drinking lots of soft water.
also get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast. Continue this for two or
three days. This will help neutralize
the acids in the system so they no longer
are source of irritation to the bladder
and urinary organs, which then act nor
NAL again.

from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice,
combined with 1ithia, and is used by

Bodied Hair, Lip Stick and Short Skirts;
Oh, Boy! See How Flappers Assert Rights

SOMERSET, Pa.-This little city
has been somersaulted into a style
class war with the bobbed haired, lip
stick-waving fappers arrayed on one
side and her more timid sisters of long
tresses and silkless stockings on the
other
The first clash occurred yesterday
when the Parent-Teacher Association
formally endorsed the "old-fashioned
girl" and took steps to petition the
school board to adopt a uniform style
of dress for all school girls. The rules
would bar her silk hose, short skirts,
bobbed hair and low neck, sleeveless
dresses.

But the fapper contingent, hearing
OF the meeting, stormed it. Their YER
bal protest, delivered in rhyme, was
as short and snappy as the dress and
manner of the fapperette who deliv-
cred: it
Il can show my shoulders,
/ can show my knees;
| am a free-born American
And can show what | please"
With that the happers withdrew,
while the Parent Teacher session was
turned into an indignation meeting.
Action on the dress question will
be demanded of the school board, the
parents and teachers decided.

BLTVEN PROVES AN
EASY WINNER OVER
DOYLE SAT. NIGHT

Perry Bliven again demonstrated
his ability to take the measure of the
best welterweights in the Northwest
in his bout with Kid Doyle of FL Paso
at the Rex Saturday night. The bat
tie went ten rounds and at the finish
Referee Geo. Lane gave the decision to
Bliven.
Doyle did not appear to be in the
best condition after a few rounds had
elapsed, but he was always coming on
willingly to step up and take them on
the nose for the opportunity of landing
a good one In the fourth round Bliv-
en- accidently fouled his man but Doyle
accepted the apology and went mer-
rily on. The local boy is an unusually
clean boxer and the foul was made in
an exciting mixup.
In the eighth Bliven landed a severe
jolt to Doyle's jaw with the heel of
his hand and the FL Paso boys knees
sagged and he went down for the
count of nine. His second jumped in
to the ring and poured water on his
man and he got up just in time and
hung on till the gong.
In the ninth Doyle showed weak
ness and took a bad trimming but in
the tenth he was a vigorous contend
er and more than held his own. He
was certainly a sorry sight at the
finish but showed he could take 'em at
any rate.
Geo. Lane was chosen from the
crowd to referee the bout and he did
it in a very satisfactory manner.
The preliminaries consisted of a
lively bout between Mickey Ward and
Duane Herfig and it put the crowd
in merry mood. Jack O'Brien and
Harry Kerstein also mixed it for three
lively rounds.
The biggest crowd yet seen at an
event of this kind in Scobey was on
hand and all figured they got good
value for their money. Eddie Moe
refereed the preliminaries.
Scobey fans take lively interest IN
the sport and larger crowds greet

Winning Exhibits At
Culbertson Corn Show
SAMPLES OF ROOSEVELT CORN
TO BE ENTERED IN OTHER
EVENTS.

Poplar, Oct. 9.-Everything points
to a large and a successful corn show
at Culbertson, November 2 and 8.
Farmers throughout the county have
indicated their intention of exhibiting
corn and visiting the corn show and
sales, which will be held at gilbert
son, according to County Agent D. B.
Noble.
Most progressive farmers in the
county are going into corn raising for
the reason that they can see its eff
fects in stabilizing agriculture, says
Mr.. Noble. 1t is effective in reducing
wheat acreage, and at the same time
increase the means of farm income.
Some far out corn growers, as Mr.
Coats of Froid, George Percy of Balm
vile, Mr. Harbo of Froid, Mr.. Coin OF
Poplar, and Mr.. Toavs of Wolf Point
will send exhibits to the Culbertsor
show and also to the northern Mon.

at Miles City, and the international
show in Chicago.

ASK
TAX REDUCTION

Washington.-The farmers are car
rying an unjust and major part of the
tax burden, President Coolidge was
told by the legislative committee,
American Farm Bureau federation, at
a luncheon at the white house. They
insisted that their share should be re-
duced and that if additional money
was to be raised it should be through
an excess profits tax.
The committee discussed Muscle
Shoals contendiing that farmers fav-
ored Henry FOrd's offer to manufac-
ture cheap fertilizer.
Declaring that they would continue
their fight for a "truth-in-fabric" bill
Frank App said for the committee,
"This bill merely calls for common
honesty and we ask that it be passed
in the interest of the consumer. Goods
manufactured out of shoddy or re-
worked wool are now masquerading
as produced from virgin wool"
Dealing with the purchasing power
of the farmer, o. E. Bradfute, presi-
dent of the federation, said, "The buy
ing power of wheat compared with
1913 as expressed in all other COM
modities is only 70 cents, while cattle
is about 65 cents and hogs go cents
When the farmer buys clothes, fuel
household goods, or building material
the wheat dollar drops to less thar
60 cents, cattle to slightly above 81
cents and hogs to less than so cents
The committee declared that farm
ers were not opposed to increased
wages but they wanted production
costs decreased at the same time.

'but the contentment and prosperity
of all cities rests on the contentment

the labor people justice. Farmers are

the workers the produce of their labor
or nearly so is a worthy subject for
any government"
Proposals made by various groups
claiming interest in the plight of the
farmer to furnish him with more
credit we're met with derision by the
new senator.
Farmers don't need more credit,
he said. "We've got too darned much
credit now. What we need is a return
for our produce which will cover the
cost of production plus little profit
SO we can stay in the business"
johnson told the business men about
the Producers Alliance, an organiza-
ton of farmers recently formed which

EXPERT URGES MUM
ICIPAL OWNERSHIP

CLEVELAND.--A city of over a
million people which successfully owns
and operates one of the best street
railway systems in Europe, as well as
its own water, gas, electric light and
other public utilities, is the story brot
to America by James Dalrymple,
for 20 years general manager, Glas-
gov Corporation Tramways, and Rob-
ert Laing, member of the Glasgow city
council.
1t is a perfectly simple thing, for
a city to own and run its street car
so economically and efficiently that pri-
vate corporations cannot compete. The
old bugaboO of mixing business with
politics is absurd, according to these
hard-headed municipal officers. Man
ager Dalrymple asserted that never in
his 20 years experience had the city
council ever interfered with the eff
Gent operation of the municipal car
lines, but that on the contrary, he had
a free hand to operate them in accOr-
dance with the most progressive meth
DDS, with the financial support of the
city council whenever important ex-
tensions needed to be made. Judge
and Councilman Laign added to this
testimony.
Manager Dalrymple is in favor of
the zone fare as against the straight
nickel or six-cents fare for street cal
transportation. "Our people would re-
gard it as unfair" he stated to a To-
cal inquirer, "tO allow the man who
rides ten miles to pay the same rate
as the man who rides one, but your
people have been taught to feel it is
unfair unless all pay the same rate re-
gardless of distance"
