dian woman who resides west of

fering from a gunshot wound in her

whether intentional or accidental is
not known. Reports say there had
been domestic trouble and the shoot
ing took place Immediately after Ad-
ans had started for Wolf Point. Mrs.
Steve Yellowrobe a nearby neighbor
and a sister of Mrs Adams, heard the

Novel Harvest Window
Attracts Much Attention

The Harvest Window display in Nc
Aliens is especially nifty and novel
and has attracted general attention.
Wolf Point merchants are strong on
effective displays both in their win
dows and through their stores. No
thing helps more to establish a store
in high standing in the minds of the
public than attractive displays of
merchandise. 1t is big influence
toward deciding consumers to buy.
They may live in another town where
the same goods are kept-out of
sight. But when they see an article
they need, be it shirt, shoe, dress,
box of fruit or milk pail, the i'm
pulse to buy is aroused. Of course
before they have seen the window or
the counter display, the desire to
possess, or at least see is often ex-
,ited by reading attractive descript-
ons and looking at pictures. Read
ng about merchandise of any sort is
the first step in decid-
ng what and where to buy.

RAILROAD POEMS BY
1EW" WELDY PUBLISHED

A neat little volume of verse has
just been published under the title
RAILROAD and Other Poems," by LA.
Weldy. The Herald acknowledges a
copy with thanks.
Lew Weldy, as he is known to
his many friends, has railroaded on
the Great Northern for 20 Years and
his book is the result of his interest
ing experiences with railroad prob
lens and the people he has worked
with and lived among. With CHEEKY
disposition and a gift for saying
pleasant things in rhyme, the author
has produced a collection of yarns
and comments that make a book his
pals and acquaintances are reading
with great pleasure. The Herald
from time to time, as space allows,
will be pleased to reprint some of
these rhymes of the rail. The book
is selling rapidly at numerous places
in this and other towns. A second |
edition will soon be in demand.

DEGREE OF HONOR
SPONSORS DANCE
COMMERCIAL CLUB PLANS FOR
SERIES-FIRST COMES
SEPTEMBER 26

At melting of the directors of the
Commercial Club it was decided to
hold a series of public dances as com
munity affairs at which the people
of town and country can meet and
enjoy good social time.
To insure the success of these par
ties and make sure they are well
managed several different women's
organizations will be requested in
turn to take charge.
The Degree of Honor was asked
to sponsor the initial dance which
will be held Friday evening Septem-
Der 26, and the ladies will soon be
busy with preparations to make it
a genuine success both socially and
financially. The Degree of Honor
has won an enviable reputation as
entertainers and have held many sue
cessful parties for themselves.
The Coliseum has been engaged for
the occasion which means that it will
be held on one of the best and most
commodious dance floors in the North
west, with everything needful to in
sure the comfort of guests.
The Liberty orchestra will provide |
the music, which is the same as say
ing that there will be an evening of
peppy and rhythmic Interpretation of
the latest dance successes, with
sprinkling of the old-fashioned kinds
for those who only occasionally at
tend.
With everything favorable and the
season propitious this initial "club"
dance will be a lalapalooza, to say
the very least of it. Friday evening,
26th will be the poorest
lime to stay at home you ever saw. S

Lustre Boy Very
Sick At Hospital

Jacob Wall, 13 year old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. j. Wall of Lustre
was brought to the Wolf Point hos
pital at two o'clock this morning,
suffering from abdominal trouble, the
seat of the pain being in the left side.
The physician employed operated
at once and found most remarkable
situation. 1t was a case of ruptured
appendix, the abcess being unusual
ly large and the infection through
considerable part of the abdomen.
The appendix was near the center of
the abdominal cavity and the stem
over we'll toward the left
side where the abcess had formed.
The boy had been sick week. His
case is very serious and recovery is
doubtful.

CONGRESSMAN LEAVITT
WILL VISIT COUNTY

The Herald is in receipt of let
ter from Congressman Scott Leavitt
of this district in which he says he
intends to make visit to Wolf Point
some time this fall. AS member of
the House committees on irrigation,
Indian Affairs and Public Lands, Mr..
Leavitt is visiting the irrigation pro-
jects and the Indian reservations to
get in closer touch with matters he
must deal with.
Four days of this week will be de-
voted by him to the Lower Yellow
stone project and the Fort Peck res
ervation. He has an appointment
with Supt Moller at Poplar to take
up Indnan and settler problems, but
says his trip is so laid out that he can
not stop at Wolf Point at this time.

GETTING ATTENTION
TO GOODS SELLS THEM

The stocks of Wolf Point merch-
arts mcst be we'll above the general
run when touris 5, attracted by win
dow displays, come in and buy in
good sized amounts and order the
goods shipped to distant cities. The
reporter chanced to observe John
Cook of the Globe making a large
package ready for the mail this week.
Sending something back, John?"
asked the curious reporter. "No sir,
delivering goods-woolen blankets,
just like those in that pile. They go
to jamestown, North Dakota. Tour
lists saw them in the window, came in
and priced them and bought some.
Last week we sold some the same way
to be sent to Chicago" This was one
instance. Similar things happen in
other stores
That's the way it goes. Chicago
or jamestown folks like what they
see in Wolf Point. Wolf Point folks
just have to buy lot of their goods
in Chicago, Minneapolis or some 9TH
er distant place This makes express
and mail business good and the car
riage comes out of the consumer.
The purchasers SAW the blankets
in the display window. They were
what they needed, the price was reas-
enable, so they bought.
The Wolf Point buyers see what
they need or want cleverly described
and pictured in catalogues. So they
lig up their hard earned cash and
iend it away from their town. Many
people do not get chance very often
o look at the windows, but suppose
hey saw them described, priced, and
ONE of them pictured in the pages of
newspaper that comes to their homes
very week-would not more of the
money stay at home to, be passed
round to pay debts?

INDIAN FARMERS
MAKE PROGRESS
(Second Article)

Pride in the product of their little
farms is one of the results Of the
community farm organizations,
known as chapters, and started at
the instigation Of the agency officials
A chapter usually consists Of Is or
20 families and includes the land for
about four miles along the first and
second benches of the Missouri river.
Each chapter has president, vice
president, secretary and treasurer.
It is the aim of each chapter to meet
at least once or twice each month to
talk over the various problems that
confront them. The sub-agent or
boss farmer sometimes meets with
them. For the most part the Indian
families keep on good terms and are
kind and generous with each other.
If one is in vast he can always find
a place to "visit" where there are
food supplies.
In riding past the little log houses
that shelter these children of the
plains" one thing in which they lack
forced itself upon the reporters at
,ention. While our Indian friends
owe personal adornments and bright
;olored clothing, few of them make
my efforts, aside from their fields
md gardens to beautify their home
urroundings-no trees, no flowers.
Perhaps they depend on nature for
hose things.

Vida Field Runs 36
Bushels or Better

Fred Rathert says one of the
best, if not the best yield of
wheat he has seen or heard of
is a field of about AZ acres
grown by Otto Radke north of
Vida. MIR. Rathert was on the
place when the threshing of the
crop on this field was being
done. When he left the field
was estimated to be three
fourths threshed and 1888 bush
els had been registered by the
machine. T h half-bushel
weigher was dumping seven
times a minute. 1t looked like
a 4O-bushel yield and most cer-
tainly would be 36 or better.

Cream Growing Item
Local Farm Incomes

During single recent month
one bank in this city, the First
State, cashed cream checks for
farmers totaling $500. AL
lowin gthat as many more were
cashed by the First National,
and some were not run through
local banks, the grand total for
the month would approximate
$4,000. This takes no account
of cream sold direct to consum-
ers or of butter traded in on
merchandise at stores. 1t is
evident from this that dairy
products are on the increase in
the Wolf Point territory and
that cows are coming into their
own.

MONTANA WHEAT CROP
ESTIMATE 53 MILLION

Little change took place in Montan-
a prospecte during August. Crop con-
aitions at harvest time and on Sep
tember 1, indicate total wheat crop
of over SO million bushels this year,
while other crops except corn give a
promise of somewhat exceeding the
forecasts of August 1, according to
the crop report issued Sept. IL by
George A. Scott, federal statistician
of the Montana Cooperative Crop
Recording Service. Now that the
bulk of the wheat ,oats and hay crops
have been harvested, the farmers of
the state will harvest a considerable
greater crop tonnage than last year.
More important than this these crops
promise to return to the growers
more total cash than any of the past
three years.

The total wheat crop promises to
be 53,459,000 bushels, and if actual
ly realized, will be the largest crop
