ginia are seeking Sister aid.
Mother Agnes. the head of the
SiStcrhood at the Elizabeth city
Hospital has received numerous re-
quests from private hospitals IN
many places. tn send them Sisters.
To all of them she has given one
answer: there are not enough Sisters
to 80 round. Ncwhrrn. Grcrnvillc
and Suffolk are among the towns
who would welcome the Sisters In
their hospitals.
In the meantime. how DR.. John
Saliha. owner of the Elizabeth City
Hospital. got seven Catholic Sisters
from far away Montana to come
to Elizabeth city. u non.CathOlic
town. and run his hospital for him,

Sisters. have capitulatrd one 10y

Programs Were Good

Good celebrations were held at
Pershing and Howard's ranch near
West Fork. The fine new Pershing
community hall provided splendid
center for that gathering. The crowd
was large and thoroughly enjoyed
what had been provided for its en-
tertainment. They had a splendid
good time socially and at the dance.
There was also a good crowd at
Wesley Howard's place with sports
and a big dance in one of his barns
where a special floor was laid for the
occasion. Many Wolf Pointers at
tended both of these celebrations.
Quite a number of cars visited
Poplar during the day, where there
was a good crowd and very good
program.

BUSINESS NEE TING OF
AMERICAN LEGION MEN

A meeting of the local American
Legion post held Monday evening at
the Sherman hotel was well atten-
ded and there was strong interest
in the numerous matters of business
that were considered.
The report Of the Olds car PROPOSE
tion was very favorable. The plan
by which the Post is giving away
an Olds touring car is proving very
popular and a great many tickets
have already been given out.
The picture 'The Whipping Boss"
which was put on under Legion aus
pices, netted a good sum.
The work of the several Stampede
committees was assigned and dis
cussed and several new projects that
the Legion has in hand were favor
ably reported on. Blanks for filling
out claims under the new bonus law
have been received and may be had
of Commander Listerud or Adjutant
Camrud The Post is growing and
a few new members are added at
nearly every meeting.

Short Vacation
For The Editor

The Herald intends to come out in
smaller form for the next few weeks
when advertising is expected to be
light, but will still give its readers
as much or more news matter than
most country papers consider suffi-
cient. In a short time its former
size will be resumed.
The county seat decision, coming
today, as the paper was about to go
to press, has crowded our columns
and compelled some stories to be
condensed, and some to be held over
until next week.
The editor intends to leave next
Monday on vacation trip to visit
friends and boyhood scenes in the
Dakotas and Iowa, the first visit to
the old home in eight years. He will
be accompanied by his daughter,
Jean. Mrs. Marshall will be in full
charge Of the front office, where she
is thoroughly at home and will take
care Of all service demands.

suited with the Listerud Power Co.,

discussion as to the most
feasible way to take care of the
pumping during the Stampede it was
moved by Alderman Dewitt that the
superintendent of the water depart
ment be authorized to employ a man

the city for several days Their
number seems to be larger than ever

court has been ordered to enter
Judgment in accordance with its
findings, that is in accordance with
the decision Of Judge Horkan. It is
stated that Judge Carl Borton of
Glasgow will occupy the district
bench in Judge Corners place on the
11ch for all matters in which Judge
Conner has been disqualified which
includes the Poplar-W Point case.
So this order of the supreme court
will come to Judge Borton for exc
cution. When this judgment be-
comes of record in the office of the
clerk Of the district court, nothing,
so far as The Herald understands,
will stand in the way of the removal
of the records of the various county
offices from Poplar to Wolf Point,
with the exception that the county
commissioners will doubtless take ac-
tion providing suitable quarters for
the offices and it is believed that
the commissioners work in this mat
ter will be made very easy.
Thus endeth the last inning of
''the game" 1t has been called "a
game" Perhaps it is a game, but
like other games, it's never out till
it's played out.

ADVICE is FURNISHED
FOR FOREIGN TOURS
Rolls Royce Prepares Booklet Gov
ering Questions That Confront
Motorist Abroad.

There is little the American mo-
torist needs to know about touring
in his own country that is not quick
ly available. Directions for foreign
trips are not so easily founder
were not until recently.
Rolls Royce of America has filled
the gap by issuing a booklet about
motoring in foreign lands. 1t con-
tains advice for the person who ex-
poets to take his car abroad with
him and for the tourist who wants
to see Europe by automobile, but has
not his own car along.
The company has received many
inquiries on the subject. Rolls
Royce is looked to for such informa-
tion," it states, because it is an in
ternationaI institution, we'll known
through its agencies and connections
established throughout the world
Rolls Royce has neither latitude nor
longitude, nationality nor creed
The company's branches and offices
in several countries supplied much of
the published data. Two. other in
stitutions assisted. These were the
foreign department of the Automo-
bile Club Of America and the Cunard
Steamship Company. They contrib
uted facts and figures about the
shipment of cars between America
and Europe and regulations concern
ing customs. licenses and permits
