SCHOENING GOOD MANF0R
STATE REPRESENTATIVE

H. A. Schoenfng, who formal an
nouncement of candidacy for the Of
flee of state representative appears
in another column, filed at the ur-
gent request of his friends who be-
lieve him well fitted to represent
Roosevelt county and this section
of Montana.
He is a graduate of Hamline uni
versity and the law department of
the university of Minnesota !. He
proved up homestead and knows the
difficulties and problems which con-
front the man trying to farm in this
section of the country. He has
been a practicing attorney here for
eleven years, and has the endorse
ment of the business men for this
office. Roosevelt county has two
state representatives, and a great
many people predict that these two
will be H. A. Schoening of Wolf
Point and Arthur Ryder of Froid.

Froid Tribune Wants
McF arIan for Treasurer

Since Neil McFarlan, the pres
ent incumbent Of the treasurer's
office, announced his candidacy for
the nomination there has been much
satisfaction expressed by those who
know his qualifications to fulfill the
duties of that important office. He
has been affiliated with the official
work of the county in some capacity
ever since it's organization, and when
the treasurer's office became vacant
on account of the death of Mr.. Kel-
logg, he was appointed to fill the
uneXpired term and since that time
has given the best of service.
The Tribune believes that the
voters of the county will be doing
the right thing to stand by Mr.. Nc
Farlan and return him to office

Lustre Crops Suffer From
Hail Damage Fine Rain

The splendid soaking rain which
fell last Thursday evening and night,
and which did a great deal of good
to the gardens and grain over near
ly the entire county, was accompan-
led by a severe hail storm in the
Lustre country which seriously dam
aged the crop. In a number of in
stances a total loss is reported. All
but a few of the farmers had insu-
rance.
While there are undoubtedly
number of other farmers who suf-
fered damage from the hail, the fol-
lowing list is as complete a one as
we could secure. 1t includes Peter
P. Dyck, J. t. LaFon, Ida Muller,
John H. Janzen, Boyd Taylor, c. G.
Rain, Rudolph Will, Geo. Teich-
roew, J. J. Wall, J. C. Wall, J. K.

ker in the Lustre-Volt community, all
of whom had insurance, T. M. Fen
ton, J. A. Wall and Peter V. Janzen,
whom it is understood had no insur-
ance. Steve Marmon, j. L. Seglias
and Fred Sugden, and probably others
on Wolf Creek suffered a loss.

PEOPLEOF COUNTY WANT
ANDERSON REELECTED

"When a man makes good in of
( flee, the way to show appreciation
of the service he has done is to re-
elect him to that office, if he wants
it." is the way one voter expressed
his opinion in regard to John An
derson's candidacy for the office of
Sheriff.
John Anderson is honest and re-
liable. When he was elected sher-
iff, he saw no reason for robbing the
taxpayers, just because that sort of
thing had sometimes been done, and
because he had an opportunity to do
so by padding his mileage account,
etc.
The result was that, while conduct
ing his office with more efficiency
and actually doing more work, he
was able to save the county over
$4,000 during the first 18 months
of his term as compared with a cor
responding period during the previous
administration. He promises that
if reelected he will, during his sec
ond term, conduct his office in the
same economical way he has in the
past.
When the West was wild and woody
and bold bad men flourished, the job
of being sheriff was hazardous one,
and it was generally conceded that
all he could make out of the office
was none too much to compensate
a sheriff for the risk he took. Times
have changed, two-gun men are
and a sheriff no longer takes
his life in his hands when he
rounds up a bunch of cattle rustlers,
but the idea that a sheriff is en-
titled to all he can grab still per-
sists in some places. But not in
John Anderson's mind. He says:
"My salary pays me for my time"
1t is believed that the voters of the
county, mindful of his faithful adj
of his office, will re-
ward this integrity by re-electing him
by big vote.

OLD timers SHOULD
ORGANIZE IRVINE

In letter to The Herald, Earl
S. Ervine Of Prairie Elk makes an
excellent suggestion regarding the
forming of an association of the pio-
neers in this section of the country.
He says: ''I came to the Prairie Elk
country in 1902 and have been a resi-
dent ever since. l would like to see
these old timers organize some kind
of an association. Some time when
your paper will permit, I will give
you an account of my experiences.
1t would be nice if everyone would
do the same"
Other old-timers to be added to,
the Herald's list are Frank Steele
of this city, who came to Poplar in
1901 from Des Moines, Iowa, and
VIM. F. Remely, who came to Pop
var from Rensselaer,, Ind. There are
a number of others who
have been in this section of the
country twenty years or more.

COUNTY SEAT DANCE
ENJOYABLE AFFAIR

The big dance that had been so
long anticipated in the event of Wolf
Points winning the supreme court
decision, took place at the Coliseum
last Saturday night and was largely
attended by country people as wei las
townspeople. There were a number
from the Volt neighborhood, some
from Pershing and the country
Northeast of town. Two carloads
came from Bainville and there were
sonic present from Froid, besides a
number from the Vida country.
Feick's orchestra, assisted by Miss
Grace Williams and Arlie M. Foor,
furnished the music and nothing but
praise for their playing has been
heard. One of the hits of the even
ing was the song, composed by Mrs.
w. v. D. Chapman, eve Amt Con
ma Vote No More" and sung to the
tune of at Amt Gonna Rain No
More" The words Of the song were
passed around to the audience, and
led by a number of the young men,
who had rehearsed the number, the
crowd was soon singing it in unison.
At a signal the "snake dance" was
started, the men coming from one
corner Of the room, the women from
another, and the long lines wove back
and forth and around in fantastic
patterns in the dance that is most
frequently seen in celebration of a
football game
Later, Attorney Geo Hurd was
called to speak. He complimented
Wolf Point on her fighting spirit
and determination to carry on the
county seat matter to its conclusion,
and congratulated the city on her
ong delayed, though justly deserved
yictory.
Another parody on the Grain"
;ong made a great hit and brought
'orth loud applause. On the whole
he friendly good feeling which pre-
railed at the Coliseum is graphically
pictured in the cartoon at the bot
ON of the page, drawn by o. T.
3tennes.
Mrs. John Erickson served lemon
de during the evening and G. F.
Brown Of Waska, assisted by e.
!. Shipman, served hamburger and
hot dog" sandwiches to the crowd

crop on the ]. B. Switzer place north
Of town is reported, and NJ. j.
Schwinden, who lives on the Ed Cody
place north of Macon, sustained about
a SO per cent loss.
Extent of Storm
Just how far west the hail extern
ded is not known, but there was
severe hailstorm reported north of
Malta. In the Lustre country the
brunt of the hail seemed to strike
the country north and west of the
postoffice and along the Cotton
wood, part of it going down Wolf
Creek. With the exception of the
Schwinden crop the Herald has heard
of no damage northeast of Wolf
Point.
Cool Weather Beneficial
While it is possible that the hot
dry weather the first part of last
week may have done some damage
to the wheat, it is thought that the
past week of cool weather will do
much to insure the expected bumper
crop of high quality grain. Corn is
not coming as fast as it would if
he weather were warmer

WOLEP0INT WINNER
in SUNDAYS GAME

That was some little game of ball
at Westside park last Sunday, We'll
tell the world, when we ran up a
score of 16 to Poplar's a. The only
sad thing about the game was the
fact that there were so few out to
see how it was done.
Kirk was On the mound for Wolf
Point and struck out nine men to
Elders 4, Ferguson and Moore, new
men on the team played third base
and short stop respectively, while
Earl Champlin held down his old
place at first. Poplar wasn't able
to get man beyond second until
the eighth inning when they had
streak of luck and managed to sprint
clear around the track four times.
But the Wolves were back in their
old form and had been piling up the
score by ones and fours so that by
the beginning of the second half of
the eighth the game stood 10 to A.
Then for good measure, or perhaps
because they needed the exercise,
they added six more to the total.
Poplar failed to score in the ninth
and the game was over.

PICTURE WILL STIR
INTEREST OF WOMEN

Picturegoers are promised dis
tinct treat in "Black Oxen" a First
National Picture produced by Frank
Lloyd and featuring Corinne Grif-
fifth and Conway Tearle, which, it
has been announced, will be featur-
ed at the Liberty theatre, commen-
Gin Thursday and Friday.
'Black Oxen" relates an unusual
story of a woman rejuvenated by
science and who finds, at SO, her
first true romance. How the woman
bent on keeping her return visit to
America a secret, attracts the atten-
ton of a newspaper man, who sees
in her his ideal, and, following a
chance meeting, falls in love with her
and continues his devotion in face
of criticism by friends and know
ledge that his sweetheart is old
enough to be his mother. The en-
trance of a flapper into the odd ro-
nance is said to cause many unique
climaxes to develop and to add con-
siderable action to the rapidly NOV
ing story.
Prominent in support of Miss
Griffith and Mr.. Tearle are Clare
Bow, who plays the flapperish ia
net; Alan Hale, Kate Lester, Thom-
as Ricketts,, Tom Guise, Claire Mac
Dowell, Lincoln Stedman and Clar-
issa Selwynne. Mr.. Lloyd produced
the screen version of "Black Oxen,"
from scenario which he, with the
aid of Mary O'Hara, prepared from
Gertrude Atherton's best selling nov
ell of the same title.
The presentation at the Liberty
will be accompanied by special
musical program and appropriate
short reel subjects.

WHEELER ACCEPTS
NOMINATION V.P.
BOLTS OWN PARTY TO TAKE End
PLACE WITH LAFOLLETTE,
EXPLAINS WHY

Washington, July 19-Senatol
Burton X. Wheeler Of Montana, who
won national distinction by his con-
duct of the senate Daugherty IN
vestigation, accepted the vice-presi-
Dental nomination on the LaFollette
Independent ticket Saturday and
Immediately started his campaign
with broadside against the polit-
ical affiliations Of Calvin Coolidge
and John w. Davis
''I am democrat, but not Wall
street democrat" he said in a let
ter formally accepting the nomina-
ton rendered him by the group Of
LaFollette leaders in conference
here.
"The democratic party" he contin-
ued, chad wantonly abandoned an
opportunity for great public service,
and both it and the republican party
had ignored the call of the unorgani-
zed millions who are the victims of
the present economic disorders"
Senator Wheeler's acceptance and
his denunciation of the two old-line
parties were embodied in a letter to
William H. Johnston Of the machin-
lists union, heading a committee sent
to him by the conference of LaFol-
lette leaders to receive his reply to
the formal tender of the vice presi-
Dental nomination voted yesterday.
The letter follows:
Letter of Acceptance
"After careful consideration, I
have concluded to accept the honor
your committee SO generously con-
ferred on me by rendering to me the
nomination for vice president as the
running mate of the Honorable
Robert LaFollette, candidate for
president of the United States.
"I have had no desire, as you
know, to become candidate for any
office in the approaching election,
but have decided that it IS my duty
to accept your call because it appears
to me that by so doing l can best
serve the highest interests of the
American people.
'I regret exceedingly that the
democratic party in the recent ma
tional convention in New York SO
completely lost sight of the funda-
mental principles of democracy and
ignored the great economic issues
of the present hour. 1t has wanton-
ly abandoned an opportunity for
great public service that never before
was so clearly within it's reach and
so certain to lead to success.
''While the farmers of the entire
nation are facing bankruptcy, labor
unemployed, business depressed and
a large majority of our citizens suf-
fering from sinister exploitation, the
republican and democratic parties in
ignored the call of the
unorganized millions who are the
victims of the present economic dis
orders and chose leaders whose train
ng, whose sympathies and whose So
,ial and political association are with
he great predatory interests.
"Every democratic leader in and
,ut of congress has proclaimed the
party free from the taint
# Wall street and has blamed with
ome degree of truth the financial
interests centered there, but whose 9
amifications extend far beyond, for I
he corruption in the republican adj ?
and for the discrimi- Z
latory legislation against the COM 7
non people Of America. What are z
he people to think when the same l
nen, in convention assembled, select '
