BUTTREY- SEND
STUDENT TO HELENA

The Buttrey-Swift, store has sent
their corsetiere, Mrs. L. A. Tanning,
to attend the Gossard School of Cor
setry at Helena, Mont. She will re
main there during the week of Aug.
1925.
This school is an innovation in that
it accepts only saleswomen who
have had practical experience and
who are ready to take postgraduate
work. This corresponds to physi-
clan or lawyer attending a university
to get his degree.
Specialized service has taken on
an added importance in the modern
retail store and the Buttrey-Swift
store has adopted this advanced mer-
chandising idea in every department.
Realizing the important relation cor
rect corsetry bears to the health and
efficiency of womankind, the corset
department is receiving special atten-
ton
The Gossard School of Corsetry is
acknowledged to be the oldest and
foremost institution of it's kind in
the United States and its graduates
are accepted as expert authorities on
modern hygienic corstery.

ternoon at the Presbyterian church.
There are 81 charter members and
three honorary members. Mrs. Head
who has spent SO years in w. c. /.
U. work, explained the purpose of

tai abstinance, Americanization, child
welfare, Christian citizenship, peace
and international arbitration, prison
reform, social welfare and social
morality, and one of the expressed
purposes of the organization is to
make the world a cleaner, healthier
and happier place in which to live.
Mrs. Heald is very enthusiastic
about the organization and the meet
ing yesterday was an interesting one.
Mrs. w. |. Burnison was elected
president, Mrs. Fannie Poore, vice
president, Mrs. John Listerud, secre-
tary, and Mrs. Ed Nichol, treasurer.
Vice presidents from the various
churches are: Presbyterian, Mrs.
W. B. Everett; Lutheran, Mrs. Paul

HOME MADE FLOUR COSTS LESS

SUMS AT HOME
WoItana and Favorite AS Good And
More Nutritious Than Famous
Bleached Brands

E. L. Shipman has joined forces
with w. o. Rygg and will assist in
conducting the Wolf Point Flour
Mill The busy season for the mill
is just about to begin, and the work
of both men will be required to ope-
rate the mill and attend to the bust
ness.
Mr.. Shipman is optimistic over the
outlook for the flour business in this
community and sees a large future
for the mill He recognizes that the
initial work will be to get the pro-
ducts Of the mill advertised and
build up a larger consumption OF
home made flour at home. Using
home made flour is purely cooperat-
i've and results in benefit to the
whole community. Mr.. Shipman
estimates that if the mill could get
sufficient business to keep it running
800 days in the year it would use
$4,000 bushels of wheat and in fol-
lowing its fixed policy of paying five
cents above the local price paid by
grain dealers, it would distribute IN
the community an extra $4,000 IN
addition to the vast amount OF
money kept at home through using
homemade flour instead of flour
shipped in from a distance.

got together a party of those he
could find to meet Senator Walsh and
eat dinner with him. The time dur
ing the meal and an hour. afterward
afforded opportunity to bring to our
senator's attention several matters
of grave local Importance.
Reservation Payments
First came the situation confront
ing some of the settlers on the reser-
walton, relative to their delinquent
land payments. The Senator ex-
pressed himself as doubling that the
department would go to the extent
of cancelling the entries of worthy
settlers, but Mr.. Marion and Mr.
Dignan convinced him that the or
ders under which the officials are
acting led to that result with only
the alternative of appealing to the
secretary of the interior to secure
stay. If the secretary declines to
intervene or decides adversely to
the settler, the land Office officials
have no choice but to cancel the en-
try. The Senator at once decided
he would wire Secretary Work of
the Interior Department and wrote
out the following message at the
table:
Honorable Hubert Work,
Secretary Of the Interior,
Washington, D. G.
Much anxiety is felt by settlers
on Fort Peck Indian reservation, who
are delinquent as to payments due
on their entries. Successive seasons
of drouth are now followed by a
year of relatively good crops, but
prices are so low as to leave little
if anything above expenses. Earnest
ly hope you can defer declaring for
feiture or ordering cancellation un-
til / can introduce and urge upon
Congress passage of bill in sub
stance like the measure which failed
because of the pressure in closing

shows the Dakota badlands and an
other is a clear view of the Flat

a way as to make the scenes appear

COAL SITUATION
STILL UNSOLVED
OPERATORS AND MINERS IN
DEADLOCK - GOVERNMENT
REVIEWS EFFORTS

Atlantic City, N. j., Aug. 21.-
The parley between anthracite ope
rators and miners over new wage
contract designed to prevent a ces
sation of work in the hard coal fields
September 1, broke up Tuesday
Adjournment was taken subject &c
call of the secretary of the JOINT con-
ference.
John Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers of America, declared
Tuesday afternoon that unless some
thing unforeseen interviewed the
miners would consider themselves out
of employment on September /. 1t
seems generally agreed by represen-
tatives of both sides that only gov
ernment intervention would avert
tie up of the mines.
Tuesdays, break came when the
operators definitely refused to grant
the wage increase demanded by the
miners. Notice of the break was sent
to the United States coal commission
at Washington. The commission had
induced the parties to renew wage
negotiations after a series of con-
ferences in New York last week.
VIII Warn Both
Washington, Aug. 21-There was
every indication Tuesday that in
view of the break up of the Atlantic
City conference, the federal govern
ment would renew promptly its eff
forts to secure some agreement to
avert suspension of production on
September /.
When word of the break was given
to John Hays Hammond, chairman.
of the coal commission, he said he
would have no comment to make for
the present but indicated he would
confer with President Coolidge as
soon as details of the situation be-
came known here.
In the absence of an authoritative
announcement, the impression was
gained that steps would be taken by
the government to impress both sides
the seriousness of the situation that
would result from failure to reach
an agreement.

BALL TEAM CLOSES
VERY GOOD SEASON
RECORD OF 10 WON AND 2LOST
SHOWS FINE SUCCESS OF
LEGION CLUB

Below is a resume of the games
played by the Wolves for the 1928
season which, from a games won and
lost standpoint, could hardly have
been more successful, winning ten OUT
of IL. The season opened on May
IL at Sidney, and then in succession
we played Glasgow, Sidney, Glasgow,
Opheisn, Poplar, Glasgow, Culbert-
son, Richey, Poplar and Poplar, win
ming all of them except the first one
at Sidney and the one on Aug. 9TH
at Wolf Point to Poplar.
In the list of players given below,
consider the first ten players named
the regular Wolf Point club for 1928.
Good sold Todd Shamley, our short
stopper, lead the league at bat with
an average of 1852; then Smithy with
an average of 333. Of course Tiney
Champlin was complaining about not
being able to hit 'em but we notice
that he got nine hits out of 80 times
at bat or an average of an even 300.
Guess there are lots of the boys in
the big show that would like one just
like 1T Then comes Trip with an
average of .285 and Crockett with
one of .272. Then comes the depend
able Kenneth King. While he hit an
average of .263, which is exceptional
for player who is pitching prac-
tically every game, and his pitching
this season was certainly class, win
ming ten out of II starts. jacob,
the doughty captain, is next with
an average of .25O. Bill fell down
the latter part of the season. Then
Shenkenberge with an average of
.242. Busby with .222, but Dick just
got married so will have to excuse
him and Eaton with an average of
200. Giving us a team average OF
.27O plus, which is not bad.
PLAYERS Not Paid
There are other players that de-
serve mention that helped US out on
occasion, but the players considered
on the club took part in five or more
games. There are Merrill who took
part in two games, Lenz and Williams
who took part in four games, Bill
Burgess who took part in two games
and Funk who helped us out during
and Martin who played in
two games.
From financial standpoint the
season was not great success. The
games at home being poorly attended
md the class of ball the boys were
,laying deserved much better sup
,ort.
None of the players on the club
eceived any compensation for play
ng. The good showing they made
md the advertising they gave Wolf /

WOLF POINT FLOUR TESTS HICH---MADE

made at the Wolf Point mill have the
quality which should satisfy any rea-
sonable consumer. The -four is
given frequent tests including the
practical baking test and ranks high
each time 1t may lack trife of
being as white as the bleached flour
made by big mills but in every other
way it is equal to them. and in es-
sential points such as nutrition and
baking qualities it is equal to or ex-
cells any flour that can be bought.
1t is the advertised name and req
utation that lends the attraction to
the famous brands from the big mills.
These widely known brands are made
of wheat of all sorts blended to-
gether, including only small por-
ton of the splendid hard wheats
grown in this district Wolf Point
flour is made exclusively from the
best wheat in the world.
If Wolf Point flour was shipped
to Minneapolis, bleached Ia pro
cess which detracts from its quail
tiles in everything but appearance)
and put into sacks bearing famous
brands it would sell and satisfy as
well as any flour on the market Mr..
Rygg and Mr.. Shipman will make an
earnest effort to build up for Wolf
Point flour the reputation and pop
ularity it deserves and ask the CO.
operation of all our citizens.
1t should not be forgotten that Wolf
Point flour sells for less money than
the so-called fancy brands. This
does not imply that it is cheaper
flour, but simply that the freight is
saved and the money kept in the COM
munity.
