Local Men Change
Signs to New Road

Fay Bartholomew and R. J.
Moore did fine bit of community
work Monday when they changed
the signs from the old road to Pop
lar to the new road. These signs
have been causing no end of trouble
and grief to motorists who fol-
lowed the signs, which led to an
impassably muddy strip of road. The
two men went out Monday, dug up
the posts on the old road and moved
them to the new road. About ten
miles Of ground was covered and i'm
the future it is hoped that motorists
will have no difficulty finding the
best road into Wolf Point.

Editor Meets Old Friend

The editor had an exceedingly in
teresting visit with Rev. Jesse Will
hanson on the occasion of his recent
visit here to assist with the Indian
evangelstic meetings. In 1912
Mr.. Williamson and his brother John
attended the same college as the edi-
tor, at Yankton, South Dakota and
it was pleasant to discuss the old
days and mutual acquaintances.
Jesse in his college days was an ex-
cellent student, an expert tennis
player and a much admired young
man. He now resides at Wagner,
South Dakota, and is engaged in gen.
eral missionary work.

Moonshine Outside
Defendants Also

T. I. Blackmon, Frank Bannister,
and J. R. Holsclaw, all special en-
forcement officers, returned the first
Of the week from Great Falls where
they were witnesses in Federal
court in LIQUOR cases against Henry
Fromby and Earl Stringer of Pop
lar. Frombv is proprietor Of the
Midget cafe at Poplar and recently
these officers found large quantity
of liquor alleged to be moonshine at
the place. The fact that the liquor
was not found inside the building
but was concealed just outside
proved fatal to the case of the Unit
ed States and the defendants were
acquitted.

BRINGS ACTION FOR
DELINQUENT TAXES
CITY SEEKS RECOVERY FROM

came before Judge S. E. Paul of the
district bench here today.
The case is entitled estate of Mon
tana ex rel City of Wolf Point VS..
Neil McFarlan, county treasurer of
j Roosevelt county" 1t is a special
proceeding brought on action of the
city in which an alternative writ of
mandate was issued by Judge S. E
Paul from his chambers in Plenty
wood, February 16.
The action is brought for the pur-
pose of compelling the county treas
urer to turn over to the city treas
urer all delinquent interest and pen
alties collected by him on all delin-
quent taxes, both administrative and
specific improvement taxes on prop
erty situated in the city of Wolf
Point. The county treasurer has
from time to time turned in to the
city treasurer all delinquent taxes
but, it is alleged, has failed to turn
in the interest on delinquent taxes
together with all penalties and it is
alleged he has retained the same for
the county.
This is the first action of the kind
brought in the state of Montana and
will prove an interesting case as well
as involving several important legal
questions.
In court today Hugh N. Marion,
attorney for the county, entered a
motion to quash which Judge Paul
took under advisement and a
date will be set for arguments or
the filing of briefs. ]. K. Bramble
is representing the city in this action.

BUTTE KIWANIAN
MEETS LOCAL MEN
EARLE GENZBERGER INVITES
FORMATION OF LUNCHEON
CLUB IN FINE TALK

A group of representative business
and professional men were guests of
Earle N. Genzberger, at luncheon
at the Sherman cafe Wednesday
noon. Mr.. Genzberger is an attor-
ney of Butte and is visiting this part
of the state in the interests of the
Kiwanis international of which he
is district governor for the district
of Montana.
Eyes On Wolf Point
Wolf Point is one of the cities
where the Kiwanis is especially
anxious to be represented by an ac-
tive luncheon club. Mr.. Genzberger
made an informal but thoroughly
engaging talk on the aims, purposes
and advantages of the Kiwanis move
ment, which now boasts a member
ship of upward of 10000. He went
briefly into the activities of some
of the clubs in this state and ex-
planned the functions of such club
in community.
He particularly stressed the point
that the Kiwanis organizations were
in no way antagonistic to chambers
of commerce, but on the other hand
invariably proved valuable auxili-
ary bodies which aided in building
up stronger commercial clubs. The
minimum limit of a Kiwanis club is
thirty-fve, a number which the
speaker thought could easily be OBJ
tanned in Wolf Point One of the
inducements held out by the speak
er was the contact the local club
would have with near by bodies of
the same organization. such as those
at Glasgow and Sidney.
Visits Glasgow and Sidney
The further consideration of the
question of forming a club was left
in the hands of the local men pres
ent The evening previous Mr..
Genzberger visited the Glasgow Ki-
wants and Wednesday evening ex-
pected to be at Sidney to deliver
their charter to the Kiwanians of
that city.

last Thursday from their winter va
cation in Southern California. Mr..
Cogswell says they were very glad
to find themselves in Montana again,
although they enjoyed their stay on
the coast. He says the past winter
was the roughest and coldest he has
ever experienced in California. The
orange and other fruit crops were
considerably damaged by freezing
weather, and there was also a frost
IN the Imperial Valley, considered
one of the hottest places on the
continent.

FOX OF BILLINGS OUT
CLASSED TUES. MITE

wrestling match from Jacob Fox, of
Billings, at the Liberty theatre Tues

KILLS WOLF WITH HIS
BARE HANDS
Resident of Springfield Has Adven-
ture With Denizen of the Woods
That Sounds Thrilling

Wolf stories have been common in
Northern Wisconsin ever since man
first trekked into the tall timber.
But here is one as printed in the
Park Falls Herald that has a little
more than the ordinary thrill:
That this section Of Wisconsin is
still wild, is pretty well evidenced
by an adventure that befel Billy
Gotz Of Springstead, one night last
week. Mr. Gotz was driving his Ford
car rather late at night near Sher-
wood Forest camp, at which Mr..
Gotz has been employed this summer.
when out from the side Of the road
in front Of the car jumped large
wolf, just in time to be struck by one
Of the front wheels of the car with
sufficient force to stun the animal.
Upon seeing that the wolf had been
stunned Mr. Gotz jumped from the
car and grabbed his wolfship by the
tail, who was rather quick on reeov-
cry, and began swapping at the tire
on the car, until he felt the grip of
Mr. GOtz, on his tail, when he turn
ed his attention in the direction OF
Mr. Gotz. and made attempts to bite
his hands and wrists. Mr.. Gotz, see
ing that the situation was one which
would be likely to become embarras-
sing unless he did something about it
and did it promptly, summoned his
strength for one mighty effort and
swung the wolf in wide sweep over
his head dashing it with all the force
he could summon against the body Of
the car The force was enough to
cause the demise of the wolf, and
Mr. Gotz threw the carcass in the
car and proceeded on his way He
Of course, skinned the fellow and
took the pelt to Hurley, where he re-
ceiyed a bounty of $50 for his work.
That is pretty much like picking up
money in the road, isn't it? How
ever, We don't believe we would adj
wise any of the drug store COW boys
from Chicago, to try to emulate Mr..
Cots adventure as regular means
Of making a living, up in this coun-
try.

AuTTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By s. ". STRAUS
President Of American Society for Thrift

The majority Of men who have
built up great fortunes, though they
have in many instances risen rapidly,
owe their success primarily to thrift.
Thrift gave them the start they
needed and it was the development
Of this characteristic that impaired
the combination Of courage and eau
tious judgment without which there
can be no substantial success IN mon
ey matters.
Although the ability to make mon
ey is, to a considerable extent, mat
ter Of natural aptitude, the still more
important accomplishment Of thrift
can be acquired by anyone. There
is no excuse for not saving money
Thriftlessness is an indication Of
weakness. 1t is INDIGESTION Of char
acter.
Thrift requires steadfastness and
the martialing Of the last ounce OF
moral strength that we possess. But
/ it does not require a special genius
or brilliant gift of mind.
No matter how shrewd a man may
/ be or how keenly developed his IN
stincts for acquiring wealth, he viii
never be successful unless an ele-
ment of thrift is woven into all his
activities.
The so-called plunger the mete-
oric fnancier-may at times seem
able to defy prudent practices and
the principles Of thrift But such
success is seldom permanent Wealth
thus gained rather than through the
working out Of sound business prac-
tees nearly always proves transitory
Lack Of thrift has caused more
financial failures than anything else
How many men there are today
Who might have become wealthy hat
they only known how to save money
During the course of their careers
they have earned large sums but the.
have slipped through their fingers
from day to day They had the nat
ural gift Of making money, just a
their successful rivals, but they lack
ed the quality of permanent success
which is thrift
