WOLF MENACE CONE

Wolves have made no killings

the north side Of the HighwoOd noun
rains and mo reports of damage have
come from the other side Of the range,
according to Stacey Eckert, forest
ranger, who was in Great Falls the
first of the week.
This condition is unusual, as the
wolves have killed hundreds Of head
of stock in the Highwood mountains
for many years. Last year about l25
head of cattle were killed in the inn
mediate vicinity Of the town Of High
wood
Last fall, three wolves were seen in
the Highwoods and the United States

who killed one Of them. Nothing has
been seen Of the other two wolves for
some time.
HighwoOd wolves have been used as
breeding stock on number Of wolf
farms in the asst and many easterners
have bought wolf pups from trappers
for pets.

Hi School Team
Goes to Hare

The Belt high school team left for
Havre on this mornings train from
Great Falls. Rotch McShane drove
them in with the stage in time to
catch the Havre train.
The explanation Of this belated ac-
ton is in substance:
The Centerville team was crippled
in the last Fort Benton game when
Johnny Bywaters suffered q broken
wrist. 1t is understood that another
Of their team is sick. This necessitat-
ed the withdrawal of the team from
the Northern tournament. Superin-
tendent Culver received word Of this
last evening and it is conlectured that
with the notification be received an
invitation for the Belt team to fiIl the
vacancy as the drawing had been
made.
About IL. o'clock last night some
of the team found out the
Of their going and made
the rounds waking up the boys and
notifying them to be on hand at six
o'clock this morning.
The team will arrive in Havre
about 2 o'clock this afternoon and it
IS understood that they viii play

Belt High Fsve
: DOWsSS Benton
Score 8 TO s Hicfogy iw Most
Sensational Game Played
Here 7,kfs SsGsON

The high school team upset the dope
Saturday night when they took the
Choutaau County high school team
from Fort Benton neatly into camp
by q score Of eto 6.
The visitors had just come from
Choteau and Centerville where they
had won decisive victories, but the
Belt boys, disgusted with not being
considered worth sending to Havre,
disgusted with training rules and ath-
letics in general, were in the proper
mood to resist if anyone tried to take
anything away from them.
The game was the fastest seen on
the local floor this season. and showed
how fast the defense Of the team has
developed.
The game was clean, few fouls be-
ing called. Uhl drew three personals
and was responsible for five free
throws for Belt. Petit got two which
gave Belt two other chances for tai
lies. Remington, McCafferty and
Boboth for Belt each got a personal
giving the visitors a total Of five
chances to score. OF Belts seven
tries they made two points and Fort
Benton failed to realize on any Of
theirs.
Each team made three field baskets,
Boboth getting two and Remington
one for Belt, while Petit registered
two and Uhl one for Fort Benton.
Henry Gassock, fast forward of the
town team, was the referee and kept
the game moving at all times. He
called held haIl quickly thus avoiding
rough play and SDuisng. The Fort
Benton team is considered one of the
fastest scoring machines in this sec
tion but Belts defense was remarkable
and successful The guards did phe-
work assisted at times by the
center and forwards. Only a few
times during the game did a Fort
Benton man get through for a close
shot, while Belt showed their weak
ness at basket shooting by missing
easy ones.

DiscoUerer of Tut's Tomb
Searched for Many Years

Back of all the news about that
prominent Egyptian ruler, Tut-Ankh-
Amen, has been the unceasing effort
of Howard Carter, who spent 30 years
searching for the tomb of the mon
arch now known TO the civilized world
far better than any other king that
ever held the scepter in the Nile
valley. Americans played a large
part in the eventual discovery of
the great archaeological treasure I'M
earthed by the English Egyptologist,
which lends q peculiar interest to his
visit here. The thoughtless who look
merely at the results of such long,
tedious and costly hunts as that for
the tomb OF Tut-Ankh-Amen fail to
take into consideration the heroic pa
thence that is willing to spend life
time without any certainty Of final
reward, such as came to Mr.. Carter
when he opened the unlooted tomb.

LET HOME EXPRESS YOU

A famous artist. in the field Of in
terror decoration has said: ut is the
right of every woman to look pretty in
her own dining room" I would
amplify that statement to read: 1T
is the right of every woman to feel at
ease in her own home"
II may be a question of enhancing
personal beauty by the setting which
is created. Why not? We are always
at our best when we are conscious of
looking our best. If we are to be at
ease in our homes, we must not neg
lect this factor of making them a be-
coming background for ourselves.
The home is reflection of the per-
sonality and tastes of its owner. Con-
sciously or unconsciously as we build
our homes bit by bit, we put ourselves
into them.
We surround ourselves with the
things we love, the things in which we
have an interest. We usually build our
color schemes of our favorite colors
which are usually the ones becoming
to us in our dress.
AS we grow and as our tastes
change with added interests, that fact
is apt to be registered in our homes
We find ourselves eliminating things
which we no longer find beautiful in
other words, we cast aside those
things which no longer express us.
Nothing could be more expressive
of college girl than her room. The
walls are literally covered with pen
nants, pictures, dance programs and
what-not. The room probably violates
every known principle of decoration
yet it has charm and atmosphere and
it presents an appeal because 1t be-
speaks the personality of its owner. 1t
is youths expression of its interests.
of the things near to the heart.
This room will be changed as he
owner grows older. One by one the
ornaments lose their meaning and are
replaced by new ones more in keeping
with older ideas. A college girls room,
however charming, would be incon-
gruous as a setting for mature
woman.
1t is possible to tell quite a bit
about the character of a stranger by
studying her surroundings Her books,
her pictures. little ornaments all hold
the story of her personality.
