HAVE YOU EVER.
PLAYED HOCKEY?
JOYS AND FRANKS OF SCHOOL
ROOM TO BE REVEALED BY
IVES IN SCHOOL DAYS"

Did you ever play hockey from
school?
Wesley Barry, the fteckle-faced
movie star, plays hockey more than
once in the Gus Edwards screen
play. "School Days." which comes
to the Liberty theatre Tuesday and
Wednesday. And in playing hockey
Wes' is said to lay the foundation
for story that will appeal to every
human being who has experienced
the thrills, the pranks and the many
disappointments of boyhood.
For little Wesley, as the untama-
Bile and irresistible Speck Brown,
loves the old swimmin' hole and his
dog "Hippy" more than all the
wealth and education in the world.
But he chances to meet wealthy
uncle who induces him to pursue an
education among the juvenile nlgn-
brows in the east. In his new sur
roundings he tries to be chummy.
He also tries to put over an Inven-
ton perfected by his old friend, Left
called "You Can't Lose 1t clothes
Pin" He finds himself duped by
pair of clever swindlers.
Disguised with the artificial exist
ance of his wealthy schoolmates, and
loeenly disappointed by his failure to
put over the invention, Wes' longs
for the old swimmin' hole and his
dog. In the wee small hours OF the
morning he runs away from his
palatial residence, boards a freight
train and finally arrives safely back
in his old haunts. Once more he is
happy. for he not only has his dog,
but also his little sweetheart, and ne
can roam at will through natures
playground.
The supporting cast is very strong.

COUNTY SEAT TRIAL
ADJOURNED A WEEK
COURT WILL CONVENE AGAIN
SEPT. 17-LAST FRI.-SAT.
NOTHING NEW

The great Roosevelt county seat
election contest brought by Poplar
and designed to overthrow the de-
cision of the voters on the matter
of location of the permanent county
seat, or at least hold the seat of
county government at Poplar for an
indefinite period, was adjourned last
Saturday evening until Sept. Ia.
After his arrival home, at Forsythe,
Judge George A. Horkan wired the
attorneys and the clerk of court
that he could not return until the
18th and that the adjournment was
extended to that time.
Friday and Saturday the plaintiffs
side worked on precincts 81, "a and
25, putting on the witness stand
some of the watchers and challengers
Poplar had at the polls. These in
cluded Pete and David Dupree,
Charlie Thompson, Mr.. Helgeson,
Oscar Lawson, Art Nelson, I. o.
Slette, Clyde Thompson.
Pete and Dave furnished by far
the best part of the entertainment
1t was rehash of the evidence offer
ed at the preliminary hearing last
winter. How Charlie Smith kidded
the gents from Poplar, how they
could not get the names in precinct
"a and how Joe Lucia marked his
ballot outside the booths in 25.
Maybe the adjournment will give,
them time to dig up something new.
There is fair prospect that the case
will be finished next week.

HIGH STANDARD| 0F
fCRAIN DISPLAYS
STATE FAIR OPENS AT HELENA
SEPT. 25-FARM EXHIBITS
WILL EXCEL

The superiority of Montana crops
will be demonstrated by more coun-
ties at the State Fair this year, Sept.
1928 inclusive, than at any previous
fair in the history of the institution.
Displays from 18 counties were the
average until last year when 81
counties competed for the county
collective awards. Entries have
been received so far this year from
SO counties.
Those making entries this year
that were not at the state fair in
1922 are Flathead, Glacier, Missoula
Park and Sheridan. The others that
will compete are Blaine, Broadwater,
Carter, Cascade, Custer, Daniels,
Dawson, Fallon, Fergus, Gallatin,
Garfield, Jefferson, Judith Basin,
Lewis and Clark, Lincoln, Madison,
McCone, Phillips. Pondera, Powder
River, Ravalli, Richland, Roosevelt,
Rosebud, Sanders, Silver Bow, Still
water, Teton, Toole, Valley and Yel-
lowstone.
New Scheme of Grouping
Recognized for many years as the
leading display show of the north
west, the displays this year viii set
new and higher standards in volume,
variety and quality. So satisfactory
was the new scheme of grouping
adopted last year that it will again
be followed this year, the entries
being sorted so as to constitute five
distinct agricultural shows, one of
threshed and sheaf grains, another
of grasses and forage plants, an
other of potatoes, fourth consist
ing of vegetables and root crops,
and fifth of corn.
Counties will compete against one
another and "a handsome trophy
cups will be awarded winners. In
the corn show the counties have been
grouped into districts, so that the
counties not so well adapted to corn
growing will not have to compete
against counties better adapted to
this crop. In all other cases. the
competition will be general.

of such arrangements were

BOY SCOUTS MAKE
APPEAL TO CITIZENS
Worcester County Scouts Want To
Raise $1200.00 For Their
Organization.

Since the early stages of civiliza-
ton the boy problem has been an in.-
portant one. This question has grown
in Importance until today, it is the
paramount problem of all.
The Scouting program is the best
solution that we have Of this great
problem.
The purpose of Scouting is the
training cf boys for citizenship thru
service. When boy first joins the
Scouts, he stands up before his troops
and takes the most solemn oath that
he has ever taken in his life. "On my
honor, I will do my best"
1. To do my duty to my God and
my country, and to obey the Scout
law.
2. To help other people at all times.
8. To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.
In taking oath to the Scout Law,
he pledges himself to be, trustworthy.
loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous,
kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty,
brave, clean and reverent.
Hence Scouting insures loyalty to
God, and native country helpfulness
to fellow-man at all times and obe-
olence to proper authority.
The program of the Boy Scout
movement appeals to the boy for it
helps to make him efficient in: First
aid wark, life saving, signalling,
tracking, cycling, nature study, wood
craft, camping, chivalry, and most
all the handicrafts.
Very soon you may be called upon
to help put over this program on the
Eastern Shore. The cost will be a.
bout $4,000. Worcester county's
quota is $1200.00.
If called upon to help make the
boys of our Shore physically strong,
mentally awake and morally straight,
consider yourself highly honored and
do your part to make real men out Of
our boys.

championship pennant back to POGO
moke City.
A statement issued by the Public
Athletic League this week says in
part:
The games are growing larger ev-.
cry year. A glance at, last years fig
ures shows the magnitude Of, the
work which is being done and the in
creasing favor of sports among the
juveniles of the Old Line State.
During the spring of 1922, 1909
individual athletes took part in tile
badge contests. In the team games,-
including dodge ball, speedball, end
ball., captainball and volleyball to-
tai of 9,2S9 boys and girls participat-
ed. The track and field games of 1922
attracted 6,349 athletes.
Slight changes have been announce
ed for the games this year. Speed
ball, instituted last year among the
girl athletes with considerable suc-
cess, will be given as prominent place
on the program as other games.
In the track and field games this
year the junior unlimited half-mile re-
lay will be changed to a, medley, the
first two runners sprinting 220 yards
each and the third and fourth men
finishing with ITO yards each.
The baseball throw has been re-
vamped to one for accuracy instead
of distance. The heave will be from
