BUTTREY co. VACATES
HEINZE & co. MOVE In

What remained of the Buttrey-
Swift Co. stock, after the great clos
ing out sale, has been packed and
shipped to the main establishment at
Havre.. During all the years it has
been here the company conducted a
progressive and high -elass store that
carried stocks of everything in the
dry goods and women's furnishing
lines. It's popular policy which al
ways centered around quality, style
and service brought it large vol
ume of business and made it a COM
mercial asset to the city. The de-
cision Of the company to withdraw
from this field and concentrate at
Havre is greatly regretted by local
people.
The stores former popular man.
ager, E. R. Flesher, is now with the
well known house of Strain Bros,
at Great Falls. Mr. Killorn who
wound up the local Buttrey concern
has made many good friends during
! his brief stay.
Early next week o. c. Heinze will
move "The Golden Rule" across the
street into the fine big store room,
vacated by the Buttrey company,
where it will have better opportunity
to display it's stocks of dry goods,
notions, clothing and shoes, and
where it can be of greater service
to the great number of patrons it
has won during more than six years
in business here. Large purchases
of additional goods have been made
to be opened up and added to the
present stock in the new place

merous communications from Con

Montana members, giving assurance
OF IheIr best efforts In support of

REVIVAL A SUCCESS
MANY MAKE DECISION
(Contributed)

The series of evangelistic meet
ings which closed Sunday were a
success from every point of view.
The attendance surpassed the fond
est expectations of the local pastors
The smallest number present at any
one evening service was 55, and that
was the stormy Tuesday evening of
the first week. The attendance
ranged from 55 on that Tuesday
evening up to approximately 800 on
the last Sunday evening, with the
largest attendance on week days on
Thursday and Friday evenings.
What are the immediate results
for the two churches? One hundred
and forty persons in Wolf Point took
a definite stand, either in making the
decision for the Christian life or by
transferring their membership from
some distant church to the local
churches. Those coming into mem
bership from distant churches will
not exceed "a in number The big

norman building on West Main St.

Mr.. Camrud has made a fine sue
cess with the Oldsmobile line, both
in cars and trucks, which speaks well
for his salesmanship and the attract

Public Should Not
Judge Too Hastily

Washington, Feb. 25.-It becomes
increasingly apparent that the aver
age citizen must exercise modera-
tion in judgments of men and af-
fairs primarily as duty to the ma
ton. Impartially considered, the
rumors emanating from this city
have tendency to destroy order
and public confidence in that by
repetition it takes on the appearance
of probability. The danger lies in
the alarming character of the rumors
rather than from the actual discov-
cry of facts relating to wrong-doing
in Office. Meanwhile, the govern
ment continues to function with at
tentiveness toward the public indig-
nation aroused by the oil scandal
To analyze and dissect the polit-
ical rumors now afoat in all parts
of the country requires nothing
more than consideration of the rule
in political ethics that ''we find great
laxity as to the obligation Of verac-
ity in politics; wilful calumnies are
ficticious facts boldly
proclaimed, the reputation of men
in its very vitals, under the
deceptive excuse of party welfare,
as if the victory of party was the
ultimate object. and the prevalence
of truth and the spirit of veracity
not more important" Inasmuch as
both major parties are involved in
current Investigations there is moth
ing prejudicial or partisan in these
statements. Public welfare is too
often made a pretext for PARTISAN /
measures.

This sum enables the department.
to make the final payment on the
electric siren and fully installed
alarm system and still have a good
sized balance in the treasury.
The officers and members wish to
acknowledge with thankful appre-
citation the very generous patronage
given the annual ball and funds
campaign by the business men and
citizens of the city.
Wolf Point has excellent fire pro-
lection that saves it large sum
every year in lower insurance rates
and slight losses by fire.

USE DOUGH IN MATCHMAKING
Minute Screws Make 1t Necessary for
Special Method to Be Employed
in Their Handling.

In the manufacture of watches flour
plays rather important part, two
barrels of flour a week being not un-
usual in factory turning out 1000
TO 5000 watches weekly. Since baker
uses about three pounds of -four 10
five loaves of bread, it follows that
for every watch the maker uses the
equivalent of almost third of loaf
The flour is made into dough and the
dough is used 70 handle screws, rivets
and other small parts.
Each man in that part of the bust
ness has a lump of dough always at
hand; and when he wants to examine
screw he jabs the piece of dough on
it. Then turning it over, he has a
good chance to look at it with his
watchmakers microscopic eyeglass
Many of the screws are too minute 10
pick up easily with the fingers, and
many more, though large enough to be
picked up, would be so covered by
the fingers or the forceps as to be al
most hidden from sight.

Ten WAYS Of Killing Off A Lodge.
When meeting day comes /

1. When meeting day comes have
some important CD job to do.
2. If you got to the meeting, be
late and stay only few minutes.
3. If too wet or too dry, too hot or
too cold, don't attempt to attend
make it an excuse for staying away
altogether.
A. Kick, if you are not appointed
on committee and if you are ap-
pointed, never attend a committee
meeting.
5. If you have anything to say, re-
frain from saying it in the meeting,
criticise outside with few who may
feel as you do.
6. Never praise but always find
fault with the proceedings and work
done by fellow members.
z. Don't do anything more than
you can possibly help to further the
lodge interests, then when a few take
off their coats and do things, complain
that everything is run by clique.
s. Never try to get in new mater
ial, but leave it to others to get new
members interested.
8. Hold back your dues or make
someone come and see you to get
