tiona between tho United States and
Mexico will soon be re-established-
As regards sub-soil petroleum. the

ing that of article 27. IL established
The United States delegates are un-
derstood to have reserved the rights
of Americans who acquired oil lands
prior to May !, 1917. but who did not
develop such properties. The Aext-
cnn government is believed to be IN
willing TO guarantee b rights of
such persons.
American a~grarian rights acquired
prior to the 1917 constitution remain
intact under the laws then in force
and under the provisions Of tho con-
stitution of 1857. It is agreed that

TRI-COUNTY BOYS
ANNUAL CAMP 24th
YOUTHFUL FARMERS OF VAL
LEY, DANIELS, ROOSEVELT
OUTING AT POPLAR

Just about everything is set for
the Annual Tri-county Boys camp
to be held at the campus of the In
dian boarding school at Poplar, July
oath to 9th, inclusive.
All boys in Roosevelt county who
are registered in the Corn club and
the Sow and Litter club are eligible
to attend this camp.
Physical Training
A very attractive program has
been scheduled for the occasion, this
program being composed of work on
corn and hogs, together with very
attractive recreational program.
Bruce Hollister, captain and star
Guard of the State college champion
basket ball team, will substitute for
Coach Romney in handling the phys
ical part of the program together with
the organized play. Mr. Hollister
has very strong personality and is
a fine athlete himself and it is need
less to say that his association with
the boys will reflect to their advan-
tage.
Boys Tri-County Assn
Another feature of the camp will
be the organization of the Boys Tri-
county Corn and Hog Growers as
sociation. 1t is planned so far as
possible to make this a permanent
organizatioa with the idea of boost
ing both con and hogs in our three
northeastern counties with the
younger generation. Another fea-
ture of the program will be the dis
cussion by the boys themselves on
different phases of corn and hog
work as related to their projects this
last year. Other assistance will be
given the boys by M. P. Ostby. the
county agent at Plentywood.
Camp Plans
The boys will be camped in army
pup tents with layer of hay or
straw for mattress. They will be fed
at the mess hall of the boarding
school on good wholesome food.
A few interesting talks win be
given by local people. and the Girl
Scouts of Poplar agree to give them
a party on the last evening of the
camp.

DOC PULLS BIG ONE

1t takes dentist to pull the big
ones. DIR. j. R. Burgess returned
early in the week from, weNtern
outing and deliberately told the re
porter that he and Paul Fay pulled
the biggest trout of the season out
of the icy waters of one of the
lakes of Glacier Park, and also made
the best catch in point of pounds
Doc looked so honest about it that
the reporter is inclined to believe
him.
Another piece Of good fortune they
met was the privilege of witnessing
rock slide. A piece of the noun
tain, easily as large as Young's Cafe,
the doctor asserts, started from a
height of 1000 feet, making the last
thousand over a sheer precipice 1000
feet high, and plunged into the lake
with a deafening report. Those who
saw it were thankful they were on
the other side of the lake-it was
probably half mile but seemed
plenty close enough.

TO BUILD UP SHIPPERS
ASSN in THIS COUNTY

Farmers of Roosevelt county and
adjoining counties who are interest
ed in the cooperative marketing of
livestock, will meet at Poplar on Sat-
urday afternoon, July IA, at one
O'Clock, to discuss and make prepara-
tions for enlarging the present Live
stock Shippers association now op-
Grating in Roosevelt county.
Farmers realize that comparative
buying either at the shipping point
or the terminal, is the best way for
them to realize the most that can be
paid on cash market. and with this
end in view, livestock farmers are
going to make survey of the condi-
tons and see if farmers of this sec
ton are willing to back and operate
cooperative shipping association.
In to the present time such an organ
ization has been operated in the east
ern end Of the county under the man
agership of Ole p Olsen of McCabe
All stockholders of this association
have expressed satisfactory results
with shipments made but conditions
have been such that Mr.. Olsen could
not afford to give his whole time to
it and at such times or seasons when
there is demand for shipments.
IF the plans materialize Saturday,
it viii probably be that full time
manager will be employed and that
he build up the market for all the
smaller farmers throughout the
county.

REPORT FROM
THE POPLAR DOME
OIL STRUCK AT 1850 FEET BY
PIONEER co. Is MILES EAST
OF WOLF POINT

Reports say that oil has been
found at a depth of 1850 feet in the
test well being drilled by the Pioneer
Oil & Gas Co. on the Poplar dome
about seven miles southeast of Poplar
and 25 miles cost of Wolf Point.
The Roosevelt County Independent
in a special issue says the drill broke
through shell of cap rock Mon
day morning, and when the tools
were drawn up they were found COW
cred with oil. No test can be made
until the water used in drilling has
been pumped out.
This oil, if such it proves to be,
is found at much less depth than
biologists reports indicated and even
though the tests show there is no pro-
ductive quantity, it is a splendid in
and will direct attention
and strengthen the faith of those
bent on developing the local oil fields.
The Wolf Point dome lies just west
of the Poplar dome Plans are be-
ing pushed for test well just south
of Wolf Point.

PREPARE FOR COUNTY
SEAT CONTEST TRIAL

Attorneys Geo. E. Hurd and Otis
A. Hallett spent several days this
week in Wolf Point, Poplar, Balm
vile and Froid preparing for the
trial of the county seat contest case.
F. E. Rathert accompanied Mr.. Hurd
to Bainville, Monday, and they were
joined by A. w. Huxsol Tuesday
morning and all went to Froid. They
found our friends all over the east
ern end of the county just as en-
thusiastic and loyal as they were last
fall and ready to lend their assist
ance in getting the case before the
court on it's true merits.
The law allows many delays but
the contestants are nearing the end
of their rope and ut is believed the
case must come to trial Wltnln
month or, at the longest, two months.
The farther the case goes the more
evident it is that there can be but
one ultimate result-the removal OF
the county offices to Wolf Point, the
permanent county seat chosen by
majority of nearly 200 of the voters.

WOLVES WIN AGAIN
MAKES 7 STRAIGHT
KING PITCHES ANOTHER REAL
GAME IN FRONT OF RAGGED
SUPPORT

Sunday, McCormick's Glasgow bal
tossers came east out of the flood
and made an effort to swamp the
Wolves and it looked as though they
were going to accomplish their ends,
but finally we got all the errors out
of our system and settled down to
play the national pastime as it ought
to be played behind excellent pitch
ing.
Lose But Regain Lead
The Wolves opened their half of
the first as though they were going
to win the old game right now, scor-
ing two runs on hits by Shamley and
Tripp with two errors at second
thrown in our friends from the west.
In the third they kept up the good
work on a walk to Eaton, who was
advanced on beautiful sacrifice by
King and scored on an error by Ems
pahr Glasgow then proceeded to
take charge of the entertainment and
it looked as though they were going
to get away with it, but in the 7th
Champlin got hold of one for two
bases and scored on clean hit by
King. The eighth, instead of the
lucky seventh, was our big inning.
Todd was hit, to start off, then Trip,
Crockett, Connie, Busby and Champ
lin followed with hits, putting the
game away for the Wolves.
Profited by Our Slips
Glasgow made their markers fn
the second. fourth and sixth innings
as follows, but their aim was short
and their efforts only amounted to
five runs.
In the second Hewitt hit one on
the nose and scored on a hit by Wat
son and an error at second. In the
fourth Bardell got life on an error
in center. This coupled with hit
batter, stolen base and an error at
first followed by another in the same
place, counted three markers. In
the sixth Hewitt opened with one
over the fence for two bases, this
coupled with felder's choice spelled
another and last Glasgow run.
King pitched consistently through
out and if given the support the club
is able to give pitcher would have
had no trouble holding the visitors
scoreless. He got IL strikeouts, and
though there were seven errors made
behind him the Glasgow players were
only able to collect five markers.

PERSHING CELEBRATION
OF 4th FINE SUCCESS

The day was too short to run off
the entire program planned but the
sports that were held were good,
with plenty of excitement and num-
erous contestants. A baseball game
between Police Greek and Pershing
resulted 10 to 9 in favor of the lat
ter. The game between the junior
teams of the same communities re-
suited in victory for the Pershing
boys, 20 to 10.
Ben Peterson's radio, installed at
Skaret's store, received very success
fully full account of the Dempsey
Gibbons fight.
The dance in the evening was a
record breaker. The Divide, Volt
and Police Greek communities turned
out strong and took active part in
the days doings. The crowd was
estimated at 500 peope.

DRY FARMING IMPLEMENTS
DELAYED BY THE FLOOD

Tillage implements that were to be
used in the demonstrations schedul-
ed for the Pershing and Be Square
communities last month, were caught
in the Valley county flood and it was
impossible to get them to this county
in time to carry on the demonstra-
tion programs.
1t is being planned now, however,
to put on these demonstrations at
later date. The tentative date for
Be Square community is July Goth,
and the Pershing community on Sat
urday, July 21. With no other mis-
fortunes happening in the meantime
these demonstrations will be conduct
ed on these dates at the farms of
Henry Clark at Bainville and John

DEPT. OFFICIALS
ENDORSE CROP INS.
GAMBLING ELEMENT WILL BE
PARTLY ELIMINATED FROM
AGRICULTURE is BELIEF

Washington, July 9.-Insurance
protecting the American farmer from
crop damage so severe as to endanger
his financial safety is not only feas-
able but urgently needed for the
protection of the nations agrarian
industry, agricultural department of
icials say after a study of the ques-
ton. They say it is hard to believe
that adequate crop insurance facil-
tiles will long remain undeveloped
in view of progress made in nearly
all other fields of necessary endeavor.
They consider it absurd for agricul-
ture to continue without adequate
insurance facilities.
The department takes the farmer
out of the gambling category by say
ing that his risks are necessary and
and should be as read
lily insurable as similar hazards in
ether lines. Data is being prepared
for the special senate crop insurance
committee by the department This
committee, appointed during the 9th
congress. conducted series of hear
ings in April and will continue them
when the national legislature con-
venes in December.
Department officials say that what
the farmer needs is not an insurance
contract that will guarantee him
profit when nature fails to furnish
them, but protection against crop
damage endangering his financial
safety. They do not believe it would
be policy to insure against loss of
prospects both for reasons of expense
and because such protection might
diligence and initiative in
farming. 1t is held that the farmer
himself should carry all risks that
can be bourn without Inconvenience,
seekin@ insurance only in serious, un-
avoidable hazards.
1t is believed that single policy
at reasonable rates should include
against damage from de-
fcient or excessive moisture, from
plant pests, storm and frost. hail and
hot winds, and from all other dam
gers.
