BIG CROWD TUNES In
FOR A COLLEGE TOWN

Tuesday evening this station, VIZ
HIS, broadcasting from the Liberty
theatre, gave an unusually amusing
and interesting program. "A three
act farce comedy was the top line
feature but there were also good
sp~ecialties.
Twenty-Five students appeared in
the various roles of ga College
Town" and put it over in creditable
style although there had been but
three weeks of preparation. They
had their lines well learned and
could be heard all over the big thea
tire. The singing was especially good
and the bestpartof the Atmosphere"
to localize the play.
A surprising number of ludicrous
can be woven into the col
lege affairs of a group of youthful
dignifed profs, old maid
aunts, spoony goods, watchful land
ladies', a football gang and a few ex-
ira Cards and the author of ga
College Town" overlooked mighty
few of them. 1t was good and the
audience that practically filled the
500 seats was not stingy with its
laughter and applause. Between
acts three black face artists and three
other vocalists gave some good num-
bers. Myrtle Neiman again demon
her ability as a reader. The
evening Melted the school 1921,
which goes to complete payment on
The schools picture machine. A much
more detailed story was intended but
space forbids.

MRS STENNES TAKES CAKE
WINS PRIZE BY RADIO

Mrs. O. T. Stennes is probably the
first woman in Wolf Point to win a
prize by radio. The prize itself, a
great big delicious looking fruit cake
could not be b~roadcasted, but the old
fashioned, slow parcel post method
brought it to Mrs. Stennes last Sat-
urday nevertheless. A Twin City
baking company broadcasted an offer
of a list of prizes for those guessing
nearest to the number of dozens of
doughnuts the company sold in a
week. Mrs. Stennes' guess was $500
dozen.

A fight is expected in Congress over the order by President Hard ing that Major eral Adelbert Cronkhite, who commanded the Eightieth Division in France. shall retire. This division had a splendid record, losing 1,132 dead and 5000 wounded. General Cronkhite's enforced retirement, it is said, is the result of his un- ceasing efforts to solve the mys- tery of the death by shooting of his son, Major A. P. Cronkhite, who was killed at Camp Lewis, Washington, in 1918. At first death was said to have been a suicide. but later Captain Robert Rosenbluth and an enlisted man were indicted, charged with mur- der. RoSenbluth has successfully fought extradition to Washington for trial and has been set at lib- erty, because he declared the shooting did not take place on Government property, and he could not therefore. be prosecuted in a Federal court. The State courts have taken no action.

We sometimes think it is necessary to expend money for gifts and toys for the children in order that they may be happy This is especially true on birthdays. holidays and other special occasions. That the opposite is true can best be Illustrated by the following incident.
 The time was midsummer. the place was on an ocean liner plying between New York and Potsdam Holland. The occasion was small girls birthday. Little Margaret was a general favorite with everyone on the large ship, and so all were in terested in a personal way, that her sixth anniversary be a memorable one.
 Her mother had some remem- .brances for her which had been se- Iected in a hurried way, as the father had been called as an attacha to the Ambassador to Germany, and with the struggle incident to closing their home and starting for a foreign one the mother had her hands and thoughts full.
 The day came and the announce ment that a supper party for Mar. garet and her friends would be served early in the dining room.
 The idea of making it real party came to a trained kindergarten teacher, but where was the material for the pretty chains. fayors and presents to be obtained?
 Of course there was beautiful mon ogramed stationery belonging to the "Potsdam," so why not use it. As

BEL DYED BOY M0URNED BY

NEW YORK, March 3.-Eldridge Street, between Grand and Broome, one of the teeming blocks of New York's East Side, was in mourning.
 Business was slow in the little shops that line the sidewalks and youths stood around in groups, talk ing softly. For Eldridge Street had just buried it's leader.
 To his memory, between the ire escape fronts of the two shabby tenement houses, was swung across the street a white banner with the legend:
 We mourn the loss of Our Be- loved Friend. Sam (Zelick). Rathet, aged seventeen years"
 It was placed there by the boy 8 young friends. Inscribed on one side in English and on the other in He brew, this banner will blow in the breeze for thirty days in memory of the recognized leader of the block, the idol of the boys, the friend of women and children, the comforter of old age.

 7,50O.

ROSEMARY and Roanoke Rap
 - ids, North Carolina, reduced the percentage of their population affected by malaria from 49.S to less than one-tenth of one per cent by getting rid of mosquitoes.
 Samuel F. Patterson, head of the Rosemary and Roanoke cot ton mills, largest producers of table damask in the world, found Tn 1912 that half the people in his community were infected with malarial germs. After arranging for the mills to build $75,000 hospital, he placed Dr. T. w. NJ. Long in charge and started him on his campaign against malaria and typhoid.
 Four large swamps supplied most of the mosquitoes. The parts of Hem which could be drained without prohibitive ex- pense were drained. Three Public Health Service experts from the Canal Zone assisted. Cans con taining crude oil, so arranged that the oil spilled only a drop at a time, were placed around the un- drained pools. The film of oil which the cans kept on the water prevented the young mosquitoes, when in amphibian form just after matching, from getting to the sur face to breathe. The result was the elimination of mosquitoes, and with them the malaria which they carried from person to per- son.
 Dr. Long also got rid of typhoid in the community formed by the two towns, by going below bed rock for the water supply and in- sralling septic tanks for sewage disposal.
