WIGTIL-FOUSEK

Andrew M. Wigtil and Miss
Mayme Fousek were united in the
holy bonds of matrimony by Rev.
FIR. Benedict at the parsonage, on
Saturday evening, Jan. 26, at $50
o'clock
The bride and groom Immediately
went to the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. v. Appelgren where a sumptous
wedding supper was tastily served
amid pretty appointments and the
hearty and joyful amenities due the
happy occasion.
Those who Joined the bride and
groom at the table were Mrs. Albert
Fousek, mother of the bride; Mr..
and Mrs. E. B. Styer, Miss Grace
Dullenty, J. B. Switzer, Mrs. Kate
Olson, E. R. Flesher, Mrs. Herman
Appelgren, Mr.. and Mrs. A. V. appel
gren. The party had planned to
take the newlyweds out and show
them about the city, especially to the
Leap Year dance, but, as bashful
newlyweds often do, they managed
to make good their escape.
The bride is a charming and ac-
complished Great Falls girl who has
been a teacher in the Wolf Point
schools for several years and has
won many warm friends. The groom
is one of the popular and active
young business men of this city who
has resided here the past three years
as manager and partner in The Wolf
Point Mercantile Company. The
Herald joins in the hearty congrat-
ulations and best wishes extended to
Mr.. and Mrs. Wigtil by their hosts
of friends.

several other truthful radio fans
have applied for membership in the
Truthful Society of Fort Worth.
Texas.
To prove their eligibility they have
submitted a sample of their truthful
tales, a literary effort or which they
c~ollaborated and which does them
much credit. If this yarn survives
the acid test of the eligibility COM
mittee at Fort Worth these Wolves
will be received into full membership
and be entitled to wear the official
emblem of the society.
Besides this their truthful tale will
be broadcasted from the Fort Worth
station at an early date. So tune in
and listen to the truth about the
Wolves Of Wolf Point.

1t is due to this fact that some un-
pleasant discussions have taken
place between Mr.. Livingston and
some of the patrons, but is it fair
to blame him for these unpleasant
nesses when he is but doing his duty?
Can any person be expected to deal
for nine months a year with 725
pupils, nearly as many mothers and
fathers, 27 teachers, and a critical
public, and manage to please every
one? Remember the fable Of the
man and the monkey who tried to
please everyone.
Patrons, just stop and think for a
few minutes; put yourself in his
place and then ask yourself if you
could please everyone. Ask yourself
if it will encourage him or anyone
in the teaching profession to work
faithfully in Wolf Point or else
where to build up a school if, after
six years of honest, faithful service
the patrons show by their ballots
that they are against him. Put your
self in his place and decide how you
would feel.
Although it may seem out of date
we still teach 'Do to others as you
would have others do to you" in the
Wolf Point schools. Are the Wolf
Point patrons willing to help us show
the students how it should be put
into practice?
The Salary Question
All taxpayers are interested in the
salaries of teachers and at the pres
ent time all are especially interested
in the salary of the superintendent.
Many different stories are being told
about the salary of the superintend-
ent of school district No. As. AT
present he is being paid at the rate
of $4,000 per year. Because of fl
nancial depression in the country, he
has requested the board to set the
for next year at $2700. This
will be his salary provided the pat
rons of the district want him to stay.
Some people say he should be dis
missed as a cheaper mar can be Sc
Let us note what other
school districts of the state pay, SO
as to see whether or not cheaper men
can be secured. The following is
taken from the State Educational
Directory for the present school
year:
