GEO. JEWETT, NATIONAL
FIGURE, SPEAKS HERE

Shortly before going to press The
Herald is informed over long distance
by L. L. jenkins at Malta, that George
Jewett, president of the American
Wheat Growers Association will adj
dress a meeting at Wolf Point, Thurs
day, June 10Th, at 200 p. M, and
will speak on the same day at Nash
ua at eight o'clock in the evening.
This will be an annual opportunity
for the people of this section to lis
ten to the ideas of a man of national
prominence. Mr.. Jewett has been the
moving spirit in the work of organiz-
ing cooperative marketing. He was
also largely instrumental in securing
the establishment of the federal land
bank. During the present session of
congress he has been at Washington,
and fighting for the Nc
Nary -Haugen bill, which at the last
minute was turned down by congress.
Mr.. Jewett's subject has not been
announced but will probably be
along the lines of agricultural legis-
alton. Everyone who possibly can
should hear him. Stennes Hall, 200
}. M, next Thursday.

COUNTY SEAT WAITS
ON COURT DECISION
HEARING HELD sTH-GEO. HURD
ARGUES WELL FOR WOLF
POINT SIDE

Counsel for Wolf Point and Poplar
argued the county seat case before
the Supreme court on June 9th.- AS
is customary the court took the case
under consideration and it is not
known when they will render their
decision, but it seems probable that
they will do so before adjourning
for their summer vacation which they
usually do about the first of July.
A. w. Huxsol, president of the
commercial club, was present to hear
the arguments. VIM. Powers of
Bainville, who was at Helena on
other business, was also present. Mr..
Huxsol returned last evening feel
ing confident of an early and fav-
orable decision. Although Geo. A.
Bangs was present, Chad Spaulding
Helena attorney, did all the talk
ing for Poplar. He first made re-
quest of the court for more time on
account of the wide scope of the case,
but the court refused to grant the
request, allotting one hour to each
side. Mr.. Spaulding spent his hour
talking about Irregularities in regis
trations, such as the absence of
transfers from one precinct to ano-
ther, about the famous dance and
supper at Bainville, and about pre-
cinct 81.
Geo. E. Hurd, for Wolf Point, after
answering Mr.. Spaulding's argument
covered the main points of the de-
fense in logical and convincing style.
He also pointed out the gross irreg-
ularities in the appeal brought by
Poplar, which he claimed were suffi-
cient to cause the plaintiffs case to
be thrown out of court. Both sides
had previously filed briefs with the
court thoroughly covering the points
on each side of the case. The brief
filed by Wolf Points attorneys fills
a printed and bound book of about
240 pages.
The transcript of the evidence that
Poplars' attorneys filed with the
court, made mass of typewritten
matter the equivalent of half a doz-
en ordinary volumes, and was not

LEGION POST HOLDS
INTERESTING MEETING

The American Legion held a rous-
ing meeting at the Sherman hotel
Monday evening. There was a good
attendance of the local Legion boys,
and in addition a number of ex-ser-
vice nsen who are not members OF
this post.
Among the subjects discussed were
the coming Stampede, which is to be
put on under the auspices of the
Legion, the uniform decoration of
the street light posts, etc. The
meeting concluded with a feed in
which all participated enthusiastical-
ly.
The next meeting will be held at
the Sherman, next Monday evening,
June 18th, and all ex-service men,
Legion members or not, are
cordially invited to attend
Commander Literud wishes to an
nounce that the Legion has on hand
several copies of the American Leg
ion weekly containing articles per-
tanning to the bonus bill, which they
will be glad to distribute to those
interested in receiving same.

This list insures large freshman
class in September. Our rural schools
have graduated more pupils this
year than ever before. I will never
consider our rural schools success,
until they begin to graduate people
ready for our high school. We are
gradually attaining standard which
enables us to do this. Good teachers
in the rural schools will accomplish
it.
The youth on the farm must be
educated if agriculture is to continue
as an important occupation in this
country. Furthermore these child
rem must have the education brought
to their doors. They must not be
forced to break the farm ties in or
der to get an education. 1t must be
aiken to them.

Installing Modern
Block System

Several crews of men have been in
stalling the local section of the new
block system for the Great Northern.
The crew here now is understood to
be completing the work in this To-
cality The system the Great Nor
thern is putting in is something en-
tirely different from the old system
in which signal arms or semaphores
were used. With the new system all
signaling is done by electric lights.
Where necessary the current is fur
nished by storage batteries. These
signal lights stand ten or twelve feet
high and are set one mile apart.
When the system is completed and
in use, a board in the dispatcher's
office will indicate by lights the
of the block in which any
particular train is. The system is
claimed to be a great improvement in
devices to facilitate the movement of
trains with safety and dispatch.

Washington Deserted
Explanations Begin
By WILLIAM L.. DALEY
National Editorial Association Spec
ial to the Herald

Washington, June 11.-With the
Republican National Convention un-
der way at Cleveland, and the Demo-
cratic gathering due next week,
Washington has been deserted by the
political leaders, especially since the
adjournment of Congress last Satur-
day. The hubbub of the legislative
assemblies has been stilled only to be
replaced by noisy and nerve-wrack-
ing political campaigns. The general
exodus Of legislators from the Capital
city has been accompanied by feel
ing that their political careers would
be drastically changed at the Novem-
Der elections. Reports reaching here
show that a spirited contest will be
conducted in almost every congress
sional district as contrasted with 9TH
er years when the contested districts
numbered less than one hundred.
1t seems that in many localities
the resentment against the political
"sins" of congress, whether of COM
mission or commission, has taken def
mite form in strong movement to re-
place the present incumbents. At
present the signs point to an election
based more upon the records of in
1ividuals than upon their party af-
filiations. The growth of this senti-
nent, particularly in the rural dis
,ricts, is quite disconcerting to poll
,ical leaders.
If the frank and somewhat caustic
etters of various private citizens re-
,eived by members Of congress may
oe taken as reliable expression of
opinion, and this is not
always the case as letter writers are
Usually in the minority, the record

LOANS AS APPROVED
Are NOT ACCEPTED

Arlie M. Foor, secretary of the
Roosevelt National Farm Loan AS
sociation, has been in correspondence
with the officials of the Federal
Land bank at Spokane concerning
the amounts at which the applications
for loans have been approved by
the bank. Mr.. Foor advises the
bank that the small amounts to
which the proposed loans had been
scaled down were not acceptable to
the applicants.
In reply just received, the sec
retary of the bank says, in part: eve
regret to learn that the loans as ap-
proved are not acceptable and note
the reasons given. We have care
fully reviewed the record in the case
and examined the applications and

LEGION WINS TWILIGHT
GAME FROM HAS BEENS

A fair sized crowd went out to
Westside park Friday evening to see
the fun when the Legion ball team
and the Old Timers mixed it in their
second game. 1t was a twilight ses-
sion, starting about $50 and was
good fun during all of the 7 innings.
Both lineups were somewhat changed
from those advertised The Old
Timers played better ball than the
crowd expected after giving them
the once over. The Legion boys took
quite lead in the early innings,
but the ex-stars pulled themselves to-
gether and nearly closed the gap The
score keeper said the final count was
5 to in favor of the Legion
"Walter" Johnson, the former st.
Olaf pitching star, and Peggy the
girl wonder, were easily the favorite
performers. Both played with the
Old Timers. Peggy's identity was a
deep mystery for a time. Next day
"she" was wearing a crutch.
Rain prevented Bainville from
coming last Sunday. Plentywood
with what is reputed to be the best
team in this end of the state is the
attraction next Sunday. Everybody
turn out.

Heavy Rainfall Keeps
Crop Prospects Bright

A steady soaking rain began last
Friday night and continued through
the night and all day Saturday, and
has been followed by frequent show
ers since. The earth is thoroughly
soaked to great depth. Crops of
every kind could scarcely be in bet
ter condition. The cool weather
caused grain to stool and establish
thorough root system. While the
season has been cool there has been
no damaging frost. Corn has been
delayed slightly but is coming on fine
now. The rain was general over the
state.

RUTH SUFFERS LAVA BURNS

One of the many exciting incidents
that occurred in the filming of Ruth
Roland's latest Patheserial thriller,
Ruth of the Range" which will be
shown weekly at the Liberty theatre
Tuesday and Wednesday, took place
when some scenes were shot over
a boiling pit of lava. The script
called for Miss Roland to cross the
boiling stuff by way of rope
strung across it; the hero was sup
posed to follow. Ruth had gotten
half way over when the rope sagged
dangerously low with Bruce Gordon's
weight upon it. Gordon has the
lead in the picture.
Both Miss Roland and Gordon were
thrown against the side of the pit,
and the heat arising from the bub-
bling lava was so great that, before
they were able to climb out of the
steam, their legs were burned so
badly, that they both had to lay off
serial-making for several days.

out popular selections. Some of the

and catchy songs of the day were

the old chiefs doing their war dance
and also took shot at the crowd.
Stay More Than An Hour
The auto party returned in time
to witness a very brief bucking ex-
hibition that was gotten up on the
spur of the moment. The first horse
pulled something not on the program
by sitting down on the nice green
grass and rolling over backwards.
Then the train sounded signaling

Homeward bound from the "open
spaces" of the west to the congested
centers of the east, the representa-
tive writer's from the big city papers
escorted by their hosts, officials of
the Great Northern, again passed
through Wolf Point Wednesday. They
had traversed the Northwest clear
to the coast noting whatever they
found to be significant or of interest.
The party was so we'll pleased by
the demonstration that marked their
passage through Wolf Point on the
westward trip that on their return
they sent word of their coming with
a special request for a group of In
dians in costume, but the message
said their stay was very brief as the

1.-THE SILENT COMMAND"
A STORY OF SACRIFICE

Men in the service of the United
States are prepared at any time to
sacrifice their lives for their coun-
try, but at the silent command they
give more than this. They surren-
der love, honor and wealth, sacrifice
themselves and their families, and
go down into oblivion, if necessary,
for the cause. Such are the facts
as revealed in the William Fox pro-
duction "The Silent Command"
dramatic story of the modern Amer
lean navy by Rufus King. The pic
ture was directed by ]. Gordon Ed
wards.
In response to the silent command,
of the navy intelligence division, a
young captain is stripped of his
command, loses his wife and family,
eventually selling out to a band of
foreign plotters who hope to wreck
the Panama Canal. The story has
an O.. Henry climax, so unexpected
and so explanatory of the intrigue
of international affairs, that it be-
comes as educational as it is enter
tanning.

conditions. For instance, it passed
bills dealing with immigration, ad-
justed compensation for soldiers,
child labor, taxes appropriations and
numerous legislative measures of a
minor nature. 1t is true that the
