enough to enter into any plot against

several crows to pull with that indi-

Post Office Receipts
Increase During 1923

Postmaster Randall has been ad-
vised by the department that the re-
ceipts of the Wolf Point office in
creased for the year ending Dec. 81,
1928, over the next previous year by
a sufficient amount to increase the
salary of the postmaster $100.
The receipts of all second class of
fees, which includes the local office,
are based solely on sales of stamps
and stock, such as envelopes and
cards and furnishes one of the best
indications of the volume Of business
done in the community. For the
post office to show substantial in
crease at this time, makes a fine
showing for the city and its territory

Editors Sounded To

Oklahoma City, May 27-Refer-
endum taken of $50 newspaper ed
itors representing 48 states at the
convention of the National Editor
ial Association showed that political
parties must adjust their respective
platforms to meet rapidly changing
conditions of the public mind. The
poll disclosed the fact that the cleo
ton contest would be confined to
Republican and Democratic parties,
though in some sections, particularly
the Middle West and Northwest, SEN
timent for a third party has been
built upon doubts as to the sincerity
of two major parties to keep cam
paign pledges. The editors are
strong in their belief that the future
of the Republican and Democratic
parties depends largely upon their
selection of men of unquestioned in
tegrity for the high Offices in the gift
of the people. Many editors are in
clined to discount the scandals in
tions, principally because of the fail
ure to obtain prosecutions in courts.

WILBUR BARTZ, Fl
KILLED BY TRAIN
STRUCK BY EAST-BOUND LOCAL
NOISE OF MIXER DROWNED
SOUND OF TRAIN

While working with a Great Nor
thern bridge and building crew at
Wagner, second station west of Nal
ia, Wilbur Bartz of this city, aged a.
bout 21, was instantly killed when
struck by the east-bound local pas
senger, known as the "Skidoo,"
Wednesday forenoon.
Authentic details are not avail
able but reports say that Bartz was
thrown over 80 feet. The crew was
engaged in some concrete work and
a concrete mixer was running near
some cars on a side track. 1t is be-
lieved that the noise of the mixer
prevented young Bartz from hearing
the approaching train and that he
stepped from behind the cars on the
siding onto the main track directly
in front of the engine and could not
avoid being struck.
Mrs. Pearl Bartz, mother of the
victim of the accident, resides here
and is employed by R. L. Stephens
at his cafe. On Wednesday, she took
a day off and went to Poplar with
friend to attend to some business.
The message bringing the news of
the death of her son was forwarded
to Poplar and she went on Mol to
Malta. 1t is understood she will take
the body of her son to Coal Harbor,
N. D. where the family formerly
lived.
Relentless fate appears to have
followed this family. Mr.. Bartz died
at Coal Harbor about II years ago.
Later the widow brought her three
to the vicinity of Frazer
where she filed on homestead. A.
oout two years ago her two younger
children, a girl and boy, took sick
ind died, and now her only son has
oeen taken as the result of sad ac-
,ident. The widowed mother has
he deep sympathy of all.

Commencement Exercises
"a Seniors Finish High

The Class of 1924, Wolf Point
high school has passed into history
Fifteen young women and nine young
men completed the four-year course
and were awarded diplomas at the
conclusion of commencement exer-
cises at assembly hall Wednesday
night The hall was packed to cap
acity with big overflow in the cor
ridors. The program was well car
ried out and pleasing, but about all
the members of the class had to bo
was look wise, sweet and pretty, or
handsome, according to sex, and
make graceful bow when the
sheepskins were handed out. Their
time to perform was Monday night
when the class program was held and
HThe Great Commencement Case"
was tried in open court.
1t was a really fine group of
students. The audience, as we'll as
as their parents and friends, was
proud of them. Among the girls
there was noticeable and sensible
departure from the time honored
custom of all-white gowns. Each
girl appeared to wear whatever col
or she preferred and the effect was
pleasing. The rostrum was very
tastefully decorated with the class
colors predominating.
Address by Mayor Thompson
The invocation was by Rev. Walk
er of the Presbyterian church. This
was followed by a number by the
nigh school orchestra, rendered in
is usual finished style.
Robert M. Thompson, mayor of the
city, delivered the address to the
graduates, taking as his m e

A few of the central thoughts
and high spots of the address follow
Hailed as Victors
The real progress of the country
is best reflected by the success of the
public schools; and the success of the
the public schools is well attested by
the character of the graduates they
turn out-the boys are growing
brighter and the girls are getting
prettier all the time.
Tonight we hail you as victors.
Twenty-four of you, who in the year
of gace nineteen hundred and twen-
ty challenged the curriculum, have

You've "crossed the Alps to Italy"
You've reached Commencement.
You've arrived; and in ARRIVING

1t would seem to appear that the
term commencement day is a mis-
when a young man has COM
pleted course in literature; con-
quered the elementary sciences; mas

should be designated finishing day.

ty."
These editors, representing daily
and weekly papers, were in general
agreement that the public should CO
operate with the government and OBJ
tain greater respect for law enforce
ment.
With party chiefs now drafting
platforms for their organizations the
proposals of these representative ed
itors are unusually significant. Ed
itors from rural sections of both po-
litical faiths, emphasized that Con-
gress would be called to account at
the elections if adjournment was
taken without enactment of farm re-
lief measures. The majority of ed
itors were opposed to subsidies
though, in the West, some exceptions
were made in favor of farm relief.
The attacks on subsidies were based
on the belief that reduced govern
ment expenditures would result in
lower taxes.
One of the leading Republican
editors of the Middle West declared
for Integrity, economy and efficien-
cy in the administration of public of
flee in all branches of government
and for reduction in the number of
officials commensurate with efficien-
cy." A western democratic editor

FOR THE SENATE
FROID FARMER-BANKER WILL
BE CANDIDATE TO REP
RESENT COUNTY
(Froid Tribune)

In this issue our fellow-towns
man formally announces his candid
acy for the nomination of State Sen
ator for Roosevelt county on the Re
publican ticket. 1t has been rumor
ed for month or so that Mr.. Schnit.
zler would make the announcement
but it is only now that he has finally
decided to serve in the event that
he is given the nomination and elect
ed.
Mr.. Schnitzler has resided in this
section for nearly fifteen years and
in this period has been very diligent
in various activities. A newspaper
man by calling,a banker by accident
but farmer from his own choice, he
has carried out these three major
operations successfully. During the
world war when the call came for
more wheat, Mr., Schnitzler enlarged
his farming operations to point
where it became his largest opera
tion: during these trying years when
big farmers were failing all about
him. he kept plodding along and has
emerged from the melee on top; he
is in direct touch with the wants OF
the farmer and knows his problems
in every way. His bank is known as
one of the best managed in the state;
he has picked up the local creamery
and through his efforts the plant has
managed to keep open shop all the
year around, and has been an incen-
tive for the farmers to drift into
dairying, hogs and corn. He has
ever been in step with progress and
now that he has decided to step into
the political arena we feel confident
that he will carry on in this with the
same energy and conscientiousness
with which he has conducted his 9TH
er affairs. In all, Mr.. Schnitzler Will
fill his niche in the legislative body
when elected, and better man could
not be sent there from this county.
Let's give him solid vote.

WORK SAVES DAY, TOUGH
BAINVILLE BATTLE

If memory is to be depended on
it was Ruddy Kipling who said some
fine sounding things about East meet
ing West, two strong men, etc. and
how it could not be done. Well, if
'Kip" had been at Bainville last
Sunday he would have gone home
and revised the dope. 1t was done
and the result was beaner of a
baseball battle-fnal count 3-2, with
a IL tie until the 9Th clash.
The Legion Wolves came home
from their first game with a percent
age of 1000. Games played 1, won
1, lost 0. The game was contest
postponed from the Sunday before
on account of the rain. 1t rained a.
gain last Sunday but cleared in time
for the argument.
1t proved snappy. scrappy con-
test with almost as many thrills as
the seventh session of a worlds
series. Viewed in one way it was
good fielding pitted against good
pitching. Doug Smith flung a whale
u a game, SCi ming OuG lO anu cA-
lowing hits and 2 runs. Balm
ville's fielding was just about air
tight, yallowing the Wolves but
runs off their 10 hits.
There was not player on either
team who could not be credited with
some good ball playing. The Legion
buddies were handiest with their
bats but to offset their work the
Eastend team had such felders as
Warren Smith (who, by the way,
strated his carer with Roger Horns
by down in Texas) who grabbed ev-
erything in center field and part of
what went into the other gardens-7

DIVERSIFIED PLAN
GAINING in COUNTY
A. T. LISTUG'S REPORT TO
GROUP FOUR BANKERS
OPTIMISTIC

Reports on present agricultural
conditions in the various counties OF
the group were made at the Group
Four Bankers convention at Poplar
last week. A. T. Listug of the First
National Bank of this city reported
for Roosevelt county. The full text
of his review follows:
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle
men of the convention:
We are all familiar with Mr.. Gar
rett's write-ups of Montana in re-
cent issues of the Saturday Evening
Post. While there may be consider
able truth in these articles when ap
piled to the section from which the
information was obtained, this write
up covers the territory from Havre
to Shelby, from Shelby to Great Falls
and back to Havre, or what is known
as the Triangle" 1t is a fact that
this section the past few years was
particularly hard hit by drought
grasshoppers and hail; but it is
comparatively small portion of Ag-
rlculturaL Montana, and Mr. Gar
rett's story is devoted largely to the
depressing features of this little spot.
While the county report to this
convention must contain facts; it is
also well and proper to embody the
causes that warrant the optimistic
spirit of its citizens; and with these
thoughts in mind, we have made
brief survey of the county for the
purpose of this report.
Roosevelt county covers a strip of
territory 78 miles long, from the
North Dakota state line to the Val
ley county line; with an average
width of 80 miles from the Missouri
river on the South to the line of
Sheridan and Daniels counties on
The North. 1t is exclusively an ag-
