Wilson passed forever Wednesday
from the world stage where once he

In the sacred privacy of the home
last rites were said, as simple as the
faith of the man himself in the good

side waiting under the wintry skies
for humble share in the last leave

FIRE PREVENTION
Film AT LIBERTY

Next Sunday and Monday even
ings two interesting and educational
films designed to aid in the work of
fire prevention will be added to the
regular program at the Liberty
theatre. These pictures, which were
obtained through the efforts of the
local fire department, hold many
clever suggestions, valuable to both
adults and children. See them.
Tuesday evening the fire siren will
sound at seven o'clock but there will
be no burning buildings. 1t is mere
ly to try out the alarm system and
warn the people of. the city that it is
time to get ready for the annual
Ball, at the Coliseum.

GREENFIELD WILL WORK
FOR RELIEF OF SETTLERS

Charles w. Greenfield, agricultural
development agent in Montana for
the Great Northern visited the city
today, calling on Secretary Gordon
and some of the business houses. Mr..
Greenfield stated that he had only
recently learned of the adverse act
ion taken by the commissioner of
the general land office at Washing
ton against some of the Fort Peck
settlers. After gathering the facts
he expressed himself as greatly sur
prised that the commissioner should
contemplate cancellation at this time
He was informed of the long ser
les of efforts at relief made by the
local people in this and other towns
through our senators and represen-
tatives in congress. Mr.. Greenfield
gave assurance that the Great Nor
thern would do everything in its
power to defer action against de-
serving settlers.

Oil Scandal Holds
Stage at Capital

Washington, Feb. 5.-Political
warfare has reached a stage where
it is difficult to compare and digest
the claims and counterclaims of
various partisans. The sensational
developments of the week have ap-
parently revived prejudices founded
on party systems. The testimony
abducted before a Senate committee
and the subsequent cancellation act
ion on the Teapot Dome oil lease has
centered the attention of the nation
on Washington affairs. The spec
tacle is not inspiring but it has arous-
ed and will undoubtedly hold the
public interest for many months.
The unanimous vote in the Senate
on the Walsh resolution annulling
the naval oil reserve leases, indicat-
ed the bipartisan character of the
proceedings. However, it is evident
that the strong play for partisan ad
vantage which has developed lately,
will continue. Both parties are de-
sirous that there should be a prose-
cution of those criminally liable.
With the passage of the lease can
collation. measures in Congress, act
ion is now directed against Secretary
of the Navy DENLY, and Attorney
General Dougherty. Democratic
leaders are demanding their resigni-

Recommendation of the special
conference of farmers, financiers
and transportation officials in session
here this week will undoubtedly
shape farm relief legislation now
pending in committees. The Senate
agricultural committee has approx
ed an appropriation of S100,000,000
for New Mexico farmers. The Agri-
cultural committee has also favor
ably reported the Norbeck-Burtness
bill, providing financial aid for farm
ers in areas affected by crop failure
after adding $25,O00,OO0 on motion
made by Senator Harrison, of Mis-
sissippi, to be used by farmers gen
orally instead of wheat growers, as
originally proposed.

MITSAREFF'S CLAMP
GAINING POPULARITY

B. D. Mitsareff has high prospects
of becoming a successful inventor
About two years ago Mr.. Mitsareff,
who is a mechanic in the employ of
the Great Northern, secured a pat
ent on a device for holding to the
rail car wheel while new brasses
were being put in place. He got out
some illustrated advertising matter
and has worked quietly to get the
tool introduced, while still holding
his job as car repairer.
The device has won the approval
of many mechanics and rail officials
and sales are on the increase. One
big railroad system is contemplating
purchase of the rights to manufac-
ture the clamp exclusively for that
road, on a royalty basis.
Mr.. Mitsareff has recently patent
ed an improved clamp. The clamps
have so far been made for him at
Twin City machine shop but he now
intends to equip work shop in Wolf
Point in which to finish the rough
parts turned out by the boundary.
The device is simple, but powerful
and efficient. 1t supplies real need
and looks like a winner.

FIRE LOSSES OF YEAR
HELD TO THE MINIMUM

This city has gone through an
other fortunate year as to fires and
fire losses. An excellent record has
been made for a long period of years
in fact there has been only one big
fire since July 8, 1914.
This record is due in large meas
ure to the efficiency and faithfulness
of the Wolf Point Fire Department
and the officials who are vigilent in
the matter of fire precaution and
who do their best to cooperate with
the State Fire Marshal and the un-
derwriters' regulations.
In 1923 there were but five alarms.
The total fire loss was appraised at
1920, on which $115 insurance was
collected There was also a small
fire at the high school building that
was controlled without an alarm be-
ing turned in. The loss was covered
by insurance. This leaves the net
fire loss for the year at SITS.
Patronize the 18th Annual Fire
mems ball next Tuesday night at the
Coliseum. Show your appreciation
of the excellent protection your town
and property are receiving. The
needs the money and you
will get your moneys worth in a
good time.
Next Tuesday evening at seven
the fire siren will cut loose. Do not
be unduly alarmed, it will net mean
a fire. Just a hint that it is time to
get ready for the Firemen's Ball.

RESULTS OF CORN
VARIETY TESTS
STUDENTS OF CORN CARRY OUT
VALUABLE TESTS FOR
COUNTY AGENT

Last year three corn variety tests
with strains of corn that were
thought to be most adapted to North
eastern Montana conditions were
conducted in Roosevelt county. A
collection of seed from every corn
grower who thought that his corn
was the best adapted to our condi-
tions was secured, and placed in this
variety demonstration plot, the re-
suits of which will be very interest
ing to farmers who are interested in
corn production in Roosevelt county.
AS the plots were small, the yields
were only made on comparative
basis, but will give an idea of their
comparative value. The outstanding
features that were noted by farmers
who completed the demonstrations
were:
Conclusions
THAT the better selected flint
variety outyielded the dent varieties
in grain yield as much as 25 per cent.
2-That the flint varieties were
the earliest maturing by as much as
ten. or Is days, with a few excep-
tions.
3-That the flint varieties from
the growers who practiced plant Sc
lection, showed only about ten per
cent lighter fodder yield than the
average early dent varieties.
4-That flint varieties that had
had the advantage of good field plant
selection had height of ear suffi-
cient to harvest with good corn
binder.
5-That the Minnesota % matur-
I'd Within four days of the earliest
lint varieties.
6-That the Minnesota 23 had
rood height of ear, sufficient to har-
yest with a corn binder, but showed
marked decrease in fodder yield,
md a Is per cent decrease in grain
IS compared to other dent yields.

tions on the grounds of incompetency
but there is no talk of impeachment
The testimony of Edward L. Do
heny, the California oil producer, has
proven damaging to all political part
les. 1t is said in many quarters that
his statements concerning the en-
ployment of William Gibbs McAdoo
as special counsel to influence rela-
tions with Mexico, will seriously af-
feet the latter's candidacy for the
democratic nomination. Mr.. Nc
Adoo's friends have been quick to
point out the weakness of this con-
tention. One high government Off
cial has stated that the scandal as
oil leases will leave it's mark on all
political parties for at least so years.
He holds that confidence in public
officials has been lessened to this ex-
tent. 1t is difficult to measure the
influence of this affair. There is an
old proverbs which says Scandal
will not rub out like dirt when it is
dry"
The House appropriated 100000
for the employment by the President
of special counsel to conduct prose-
cutions in connection with the oil
lease and the legal inquiry is under
way.

EVERY PLAYER REAL
TYPE In HOLLYWOOD"
Best Known Stars of Screen Play
Supporting Parts In
Novel Picture

A cast of players practically un-
known to the screen, but every one
a type, every one talented-that is
the roster of Hollywood" which will
be shown at the Liberty theatre
Thursday-Friday.
True, there are many others in
the picture-all the prominent stars,
directors and officials of the Para
mount organization, but they appear
only in certain scenes. When An
gela from the middle west visits
Hollywood and tries to get into pic
lures, she meets all these notables
and thus the public sees them all in
one great picture.
New To Screen
The leading role of Angela Whit
aker is played by Hope Brown,
young actress who has heretofore
never appeared before the camera.
She is lovely, youthful, vivacious and
clever. Mr.. Cruzen remembered see
ing her on the stage with stock
company in San Diego year or so
ago. He located her in San Fran
cisco where she was playing at a
theatre. The arrangements were
made and she was signed for role
which should make her famous.
The role of Joe Whitaker, grand
father of Angela, is interpreted by
Luke Cosgrove, an old time actor
and great type. He has never
been on the screen.

Tide Ebbs Swiftly

Washington, Feb. 3.-Softly but
with increasing swiftness the falling
tide of Woodrow Wilson's life flowed
outward Saturday night toward the
great deep.
Steadily through the day and into
the inscrutable hours of darkness
it kept it's inexorable way, beyond
the power of human will or human
ingenuity to stay it.
Saturday night the war president
lay barely conscious, free of pain,
and fully resigned in spirit, as if he
were preparing to fall into natural
sleep in the presence of little faith
full circle at his bedside.
His stout heart which had per-
formed it's labored duties with
strength that astonished his physi-
clans, began at last to falter and
grow faint. There were grave fears
that the end was almost at hand.
Feeble Hope Fliclers
Throughout the 36 hours that he
has lain between life and death the
regular and almost normal beating
of his heart has given those about
him a glimmering of hope that some
how he might come through his su-
preme battle victorious.
But even that feeble hops fickered
and all but went out when an even
ing consultation of his doctors re-
vealed declining pulse-a sign that
his heart was beginning to feel des-
perately the gradual weakening of
his declining vitality.
Wonderful Fight
How he struggled through the
early hours between last midnight
and Saturdays dawn-the hours
when life reaches it's low ebb-was
a marvel to his physicians. They
feared his soul would float out on
the great tide before Saturdays day
light.
But sleeping lightly, breathing
steadily and almost normally, Mr.
Wilson weathered the dangerous
hours and the light of a new bright
February day streaming through the
windows of his bed chamber found
the stricken war president still fight
ing.
When he awoke from a fitful slum-
ber an attempt was made to have
him take some light liquid nourish-
ment. The dying man moved his
head in signal of disapproval, and
when pressed, breathed an almost
inaudible "no." Likewise he reject
ed an attempt to have him take
few sips of water. Finally he indi-
Gated he wanted an old negro serv-
ant to rearrange his pillows and to
he eased about in his bed.
Asks for Wife and Doctor
Apparently more comfortable, he
indicated he wanted his wife. Mrs.
Wilson coming to the bedside, took
the sufferers hand in hers and held
it silently until he drifted off into
another snatch of sleep.
When Mr.. Wilson reused again ne
thought of another friend and
breathed family where's Grayson {
The friend and physician, who was /;
now conducting the last and losing
round of battle with death, which ,
began before Woodrow Will s
sons first term in the White House
was ended, came to the bedside. That !
seemed to satisfy the former presl- !
lent and he lapsed into quiet again.

Some progress has been made in
the consideration of the tax bill now
before the House. The majority
members of the House Ways and
Means committee voted to approve
the Mellon plan relating to income
and surtax rates. The committee
has agreed upon reduction of 25
per cent on earned incomes up to
$4,000, and all incomes under $5,-
900 are classified as earned, for the
purpose of this reduction. Repre-
sentative Garner, Democrat, of Tex
as, has introduced a resolution which
would make the Democratic plan of
income tax reduction apply to tax
returns for 1928.
Under an agreement, the tax bill
must be reported by Feb. II. Mr..
Garner has stated that the Demo
Gratis will vote solidly for their tax
The Republican insurgents
are giving majority leaders some
concern as to their position on tax
revision. These insurgents have al
ready made known their opposition
to the Mellon proposals and their II
votes will weigh heavily in the final
of rates.
