LIBRARY DANCE
CLEARS $1,000

The Belt post Of the American Le-
gion gave 4 very successful library
dance IN the Auditorium on Monday
March II.
School had been in session all day
and II was only after O'Clock that
the Legion were able to begin prep
arationa. The walls were trimmed
with symbols Of the day in the appro-
pirate color. Mort's orchestra Of
Great Falls were located in the center
Of the large floor and the crowd Of
happy dancers encircled them until
early morning hours. The music was
inspiring and was enjoyed 10 the ut
most by the great crowd present. The
auditorium floor was comfortably
filled when 100 couples were dancing
at one time, but had the roads been
passable such crowd would have
been present as to remind one Of the
old days when the farmers short
course brought out everyone within q
radius Of 20 miles.
A feature Of the evening was q pro-
gram Of classic dancing BY tbs pupils
Of Miss Laliberte which was Of unts-
ual merit and made happy interlude
in the succession of dances.
Belt people were unanimous IN their
admiration for the clever work Of the
youthful artists and appreciation Of
the kindness Of Miss Laliberte IN pro-
viding the entertainment. The pro-
gram rendered was clever, artistic
and graceful. The numbers were:
Dragon Fly (toe dance) Gretchen Igel
valse- Chopin ................ Dorothy Lille
Wooden Shoe Dance (duet) ~
Vivian Miller and Helen Strand
Colonial Dance .......--.... Gretchel Igel
Polish Dagger Dance.
........................... Martha Anderson
The young artists were accompanied
by DR.. Igel, Clarke Grady and num-
ber Of chaperones, all making the trip
by ear.
At 12 o'clock the ladies Of the Altar
Society served a lap lunch Of an abun-
dance Of sandwiches, coffee, ice cream
and cake. Nearly everyone Of the
large crowd took supper and the last
,omers found the larder entirely bare
Tor the ladies had prepared lunch for
only 200.
Every entertainment put on by the
Legion this winter has been unlucky
n the the matter Of weather and roads
,ut in spite Of everything they cleared
lbout $40 for the library fund.
The library is being splendidly pat
-onized and it requires the utmost ef-
'ort by the management to keep ahead
Il the demand for books.

The different teams are rapidly
signing up players. Several have
dropped into Stockett and Sand Cou.

NJ. M. team Monday night is said to
be the Miners new first baseman.
We are authorized TO say that the
Belt manager is negotiating for the
services Of two first class pitchers
and il is hoped that the first game
will see the team lined up in much
the same order as they will appear
late in the season.
II last years team ever practiced
together except just before a game,
the matter was kept very dark. This
year It is planned to have batting and
fielding practice several times week.
It is hoped that junior team viii
be organized for which we have album
dant material This team would fur
nish amusement for those condemned
to stay at home when there are games
at Great Falls and Sand coulee and
would bring our neighbor town teams
here to play on off days.
