basketball players of the city have
again organized an independent
team that will sail under the famil-
lar name, The Wolf Point Wolves

First State Bank force, as secretary
treasurer. Glacier hall was engaged
for four nights each week for prac-
tice. A squad of ten or more ex-
perienced men, all former stars on
high school and college teams, has
begun practice and are showing so
we'll that strong quint with wealth
of sub material seems assured. Fora
mer Wolf Point town teams made
fine records and the 1926 Wolves
intend to uphold the standard. 1t

WHAT rs SEASONS
CORN TESTS SHOW
VARIETIES ARE COMPARED BY
ROOSEVELT FARMERS-DATA
OF MUCH VALUE

The two corn variety tests conduct
ed by D. S. Nelson of Culbertson and
Andrew Harbo of Froid bear out
very we'll the results obtained by
previous tests and furnish very valu-
able data for the Roosevelt county
corn farmers. 1t was found that in
the variety tests there was vari-
aion of 80 days from the earliest
to the lates maturing strains used
and that oftimes five days difference
in maturity will mean the saving of
the corn in Northern Montana, the
results of which information is be-
ing used and these varieties are
proving to be decided factor in
establishing strains that are adapt
ed and profitable to the Roosevelt
county farmer.
Flints Yield Well
The improved flint strains, includ-
ing the George Piercy white flint
and the Stevens strain of yellow
flint, the Behrends strain of mixed
flint and the Carey strain of mixed
flint proved to be the best grain
yielders and are especially recon-
mended for hogging-off varieties; all
of these yielded above thirty bush
els per acre with the Piercy strain
leading with 38 bushels per acre.
These corns had an average grow
ing season Of SO days and all will de-
velop and mature in less than the
average frost free period. The
Harbo strain of Northwestern Dent
and the Armenia strain from Rich
land county yielded thirty and TWEEN
ty-six bushels respectively and ma
tured in 96 and SO days while the
Piercy strain of white dent proved
as good yielder giving thirty bush
els to the acre and maturing in 95
days while the Haney strain of yell
low dent grown by Harry Skrivan
Of Poplar showed yield of twenty
seven bushels to the acre and ma
tured in 105 days as compared with
the Christofferson strain of yellow
dent which showed yield of TWEEN
ty-four bushels to the acre and ma
tured in 108 days.

is NOT PAID WITH
MONEY FROM TAXES
SOLICITORS SALARY COMES
F FROM FINES AND FORFEIT
URES OF CITY COURT.

Editor Dawson News 1t appears
that some people, seeing the city court
solicitors salary published in The
! Dawson News every month, have been
impressed with the idea that this sal
airy is paid with tax money This is
mistaken idea, which l think ought
to be corrected.
The superior court solicitor and the
city court solicitor are both paid out of
the same fund, viz the fines and for
FIXTURES arising out Of their respective
courts. The law fixes their fees the
same for the same service. The sums
received by the superior court solicitor
are not paid through the county
treasury, for the reason that there is
no anticipation that the public treas
ury will get any Of the fund, but he
is allowed to keep all his fees regard
less of the amount which he may
make during any one year Not so
with the city court solicitor. 1t the
city court solicitors fees amount to
more than $4,000 any one year the
excess belongs to the county. Hence,
it is anticipated that the county may
profit by having his fees paid over in
to the county treasury. In no event
can any of his salary be paid by pub
| lie taxation, because the city court
act provides that if his fees amount
to less than 10000 a year he shall
be paid the amount of his fees. If his
fees amount to more than ST 10000
any one year the county gets the bene-
| fit of the excess. Hence, if the business
OF the court is light during any one
year there is little expense to the
county. If the business OF the court IS
heavy during any one year the county
treasury gets the benefit of the excess
fees of the solicitor.
The county commissioners had the
business OF the county audited COM
mencing with March 81, 1920 and the
auditors report shows that for, the
year commencing on that date and
ending on March 81, 1921 the income
iron the city court paid into the coun-
ty treasury amounted to S4,900.S0,
which was more than four times the
amount Of the solicitors salary, but
the excess all went to the benefit OF
the public, and not the solicitor. His
report further shows that after deduct
ing the salary of the Judge, per diem
of the jurors and bailiffs there was
left in the county treasury net prott
of $1,77469
II we had no city court during the
year above mentioned the fines and for
FIXTURES paid into the city court would
have gone into the superior court, be
cause we naturally assume that the
superior court jurors would convict IN
the same cases where the city court
Jurors convicted. None OF the $4,9SO.80
which that court made that year would
have gone into the county treasury
but the whole of it would have gone
to the solicitor of the superior court
which would have been quite a nice
addition to his income but would have
been at the expense Of the public
treasury OF Terrell county. Very re
spectfully, w. II. GURR

COMMISSIONERS MEETING
IN ALBANY IS POSTPONED
Probable Changes in Florida Short
Route Affect Terrell Little.

The meeting in Albany of the chair
men OF the county commissioners OF
several counties has been postponed
and definite date has not been set as
vet, according to Mr. f. H. Staple
ton, chairman OF the Terrell county
board of commissioners.
1t is understood that the meeting
would be held to discuss the advisable
ity of changing the course of the Flor
ida Short Route between Dawson and
Albany. The Dougherty county Off
cia1s wish to run the road parallel to
the Seaboard railroad track the entire
distance from Sasser to Albany. In
making this change a much straighter
course into the city could be obtained
and the road bed would in all prob
ability be easier to keep in good c5n-
dition. OF course methods of sharing
the expense of this change has not
been made known, but in all probabil-
ity it would be paid for by the county
on their own part OF the road.
If the change as understood. ma
terialize it will only mean the rebuild
ing of abom three miles of Terrell
road. as practically all OF the road to
be rebuj'ded would lie in Dougherty
county.

HOUSE FLIES ARE FOUND
TO TRAVEL THIRTEEN MILES
Quarter of Million Used in Test Show
They Wander Far.

In connection with the campaign
AGAINST the harmful house fly some in
terestng experiments have been made,
writes S. Leonard Basin in St. Mich
olas Until comparatively recently ii
was supposed that this insect, which
is a great disease carrier, did not wan
der very far from where it originated.
Totest the theory nearly quarter OF
million flies were marked in an in
genious manner. Batches of flies were
put into bags containing a certain
amount of red pigment In this way
all the insects were marked with some
grains of red powder.
Traps to attract the flies were bait
ed at regular distances and in a day
OF two it was possible to collect some
interesting information. Within TWEEN
ty-four hours quite a number OF the
marked flies were discovered more
than six miles from the starting point.
A few even managed to travel as far
as thirteen miles, although this was
the greatest distance at which any OF
the insects were observed. 1t is thus
quite evident that the range OF the
house fly is over a considerable area
There is all the more reason why IN
every district definite attempt should
be made to keep down this pest and
prevent the spread of the disease
germs which it so often carries.

ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED FOLK
HEARD CONCERT ON SUNDAY
Special Traffic Regulations Necessary
For Sunday Concerts.

The casual listener OF the Dawson
band on Sunday afternoons might
think nothing more than that the band
was furnishing good music to a good
sized crowd OF people but the band is
really doing more, it is furnishing a
wholesome source of entertainment
practically every Sunday afternoon to
a large number OF people from Daw-
son and nearby towns.
So popular have the concerts be-
come that special traffic regulations
as regards parking have been neces-
sary and special officer is placed on
duty to enforce the regulations. ON
Sunday afternoon there q automobiles
parked about the court house square
which were occupied by approximate
" 400 people. The band is justly
proud in that they are so we'll appre-
ciated.
II has been decided by the band to
leave off the concert next Sunday al
ternoon. but hope to give a tine pro-
gram at their next appearance.

PLAN TO IMPROVE
SCHOOL GROUNDS
COMMITTEE FROM BOARD OF
EDUCATION CONFERS WITH
COUNCIL. TO FLOAT BONDS.

The city board OF education is plan
ming to make some repairs on the
school building and to improve and
beauty the school grounds. With
that end in view J. A. Shields, ].
C. Hollingsworth, w. L. Battle and
DR.. L. Lamar were named as a COM
mttee to confer with the mayor and
city council with a view toward en-
listing their cooperation and financial
assistance in the movement.
At a call meeting Of the city council
Monday night it was proposed by the
members Of the committee to enclose
the campus with neat fence, to make
new drives of gravel and to beautify
the grounds with lawn and shrub
berry Included in the repairs it is de-
sired to make on the building is a
fresh coat of kalsomining. A gymna-
SUM and an outdoor stadium is also
planned for the large tract OF unusued
ground behind the building, and it is
the hope OF the committee to have this
building and stadium erected before
next April, when the Third district
high school meet will be held here.
The members of the board asked
for an immediate loan OF $1,000 from
the city treasury to put the school in
proper shape for occupancy this fall
The loan was granted by the city Of
fcials, who also decided to float a
bond issue of $12,5O0 for the purpose
of erecting the gymnasium and doing
the other proposed work. The $1,000
will be paid back to the city out OF
this issue, which will be started i'm
mediately and carried through as
quickly as possible.
There is no doubt that the school
grounds should be made more attrac-
tive and the school board should have
every possible support in this laudable
undertaking. Attractive school build
ings are valuable asset to any city.
