A OIL

I believe I will, she says, but I'd
like to try and interest you in them
books before the crowd gets here.
Oh. l says, but l am already in
terested in them, I'm completely
sold on 'em. She give me dazed
kinda look at that, and went on
up to change her waist.
That's swell! l heard her say
as she went, leaving me to wait for
the first arrivals and mediate on
how simple, modest and yet brill
liant she was, and how would al
ways remember the words of wis
dem she had let fall with such a
crash.
Well, I'll tell the world, in case
the society reporters don't, that re-
ception was a wonder. And when
the ladies come up and met Miss
Althea Hedge and asked her ques-
tons about her work, her answers
was simply brilliant. When Mrs.
Goofnah, for a sample, shot her a
deep one to the effect "do you take
your characters from real life or do
you work by Inspiration" Miss
Hedge says mo, / take 'em from
the telephone directory and work on
commission. Wasn't that inspiring?
Then Mrs. Freenash wanted to know
when Miss Hedge done her work, at
Eight or by day. And Miss Hedge
says from s to 4, daylight. There
was a tense something about her as
we all come to agree-a something
ali, You get me.
Several times while the reception
was going on Miss Hedge give me
the nudge and says, will get out
my books now? But the time never
seemed just right, so l kept saying
wait a while, and then all to onct
it was time to meet the five fifteen
ahd all the ladies commenced to van
ism, storping merely to say what
honor, so refreshing, to meet a great
mind, and etc, leaving both 1 and
the house a wreck. Then, just as
I was about to commence to Won
der what to do with Miss Hedge,
who didn't show no signs Of going,
who would / see cunning up rne path
waving a telegram only that bottle
blond Miss Derneanor, the one which
had invited Miss Hedge in the first
place and who was the only member
of ouI club who hadn't before come
nowheres near my reception.

every strip rested three vases from
out Of each Of which arose superb
dahlia. The effect was simply daz-
cling. The depth and comparative
narrowness Of the store afforded a
Kaleidoscope vista that magnified
visitors impression Of the extent of
the floral display. But had there
been only half as many dahlias as
were actually there, the exhibit
would have been a wondrous de-
light to lovers Of that amazing flow
err. because each bloom was a gem
Il might say an "aristocratic" GEM
by itself.
There has never yet been de-
veloped a dahlia possessing any de-
cided tint Of blue in its coloring,
but so alluring was the portrayal
Of delicate shades in this collec-
tion, one could almost fancy be-
holding tint Of azure here and
there. This was due TO the large
number of loose-flowering varieties
Of intermingled hues that were in
cluded in the exhibit.
HIGH PRICE BULBS.
I am wondc ing, just here, IL
many or any Of my readers are as
much interested in the great
dahlia family as am j? Or if they
are aware that the price Of a sim
gle bulb runs from ten 10 twenty
cents IN TO S100-the latter figure

no Nice Girls Pet?

Is il necessary for a girl to go
to necking parties in order to be
popular?
"Of course not!' you indignant
" cry. what a disgusting ques-
ton. Why do they let writers make
I'D horrid stuff like that and fill
our papers with filth?"
Wait a minute, my dear. Writ
ers aren't making up stuff like
that" Life has made it up, and
writers must consider it whether
they will or not. The petting party
is no longer the pastime of the vul-
gar nor the copy of the sensational.
1t is a recognized social condition
and if you are interested in the de-
velopment Of the human race you
will have to consider it.
Eleanor Rowland Wembridge con-
sidered it in an article in the July
issue of the Survey" entitled pet
ting and the Campus" A confer
ence of 500 college girls from the
Middlewest helped her to consider it.
And this carefully selected body
of young women went on record as
acknowledging the inevitable pres
ence of the petting party on the
campus and in their own lives!
ADVISE MODERATION.
$50 far as 1 could judge from
their discussion groups" says Mrs.
Wembridge, the girls (who were all
upper classmen) did not advise the
younger classmen not to pet-they
merely advised them to be mod
crate about it, not lose their heads,
not go too farm fact, the same
line of conduct which is advised for
moderate drinking-1earn temper
ance in petting, not abstinence
Naturally. there were varied opin-
ions as to the extent to which pet
ting should be allowed to 60. But
they all agreed that the modern
girl wants a reputation for being
ardently sought after and doesn't
want to be considered "too priggish
to respond" One girl said, Il don't
particularly care to be kissed by
some of the fellows I know, but I'd
let them do it any time rather
than think I wouldn't dare"
Another college girl said: "It's
terribly exciting. We get such a
thrill. I think it is natural to want
nice men to kiss you; why not do
what is natural?"
CONSCIENCE UNTROUBLED.
"There was no embarrassment in
her manner" says Mrs. Wembridge.
Her eyes and her conscience were
equally untroubled."
And still another one said
when / have q few nights without
dates / nearly 20 crazy"
Does all this mean a dreadful de-
generacy in feminine character?
Mrs. Wembridge thinks not. She, in
common with many other students
Of the younger generation, feels that
it merely indicates frankness in fem
mime expression.
Women want love.
They want love because It is a
means to marriage.

Stensland was given a sentence of
80 days in Jail and fine of $40 in
Judge Gordon's court this week.
Stensland is the first man in Roose-

BIG FEATURES
OF STATE FAIR
COUNTY PRINCESSES-QUEEN
OF MONTANA-COM
COUNTY EXHIBITS

Helena, August 26.-One of the
State Fairs biggest features is the
crowning of the Queen of Montana
Princesses have been elected from
A counties after spirited contests
and they will be entertained while
at the State Fair by the Helena Com
mercial Club.
Elaborate Reception
The Royal Court is also making
elaborate preparations for the re-
ceptien of the Princesses who will
arrive from every section of the
State to participate in the contest
for honors as Queen. The Queen
this year will receive, in addition to
the trip to the Petroleum Exposi-
tion at Tulsa and honorary trips
about Montana, trip to the Nation
al meeting of the American Legion
in Omaha, which is making the in
terest more pronounced than usual.
County Exhibits
That there will be keen competi-
tion for county collective exhibit
prizes is evidenced by the interest
already displayed by the various
counties. This feature of the Fair,
which was virtually dead" for
many years, has been revived with
surprising activity. Over 80 coun-
ties have up to date reserved space
for their exhibits and the number is
daily increasing. There will be am
pie room provided for all counties
wishing to enter. $500 is the first
prize offered for these exhibits,
5000 the second; and $100 the third.
A total of $500 will be given for
the best display of grains and grass
es, including shelled grain and mis-
cellaneous samples, which will un-
loubtedly stimulate interest among |
farmers to make individual entries. |
Particular interesting will be the |
exhibit of the International Harvest
er Company this year. They will
nave on display an unusually varied
collection of modern, time and la
machines, many of which
will be demonstrated on the grounds.
Renewed Interest
Judging from the number of re-
Iuests being received for premium

GREAT PICTURE
BASED ON POEM
SHOOTING OF DAN McGREW"
BY ROBERT SERVICE SHOWN
ON SCREEN

After two years of varying sue
cess in touring South Sea Islands,
the musical comedy troupe, of which
Lou Lorraine is the leading dancer,
and her husband, Jim Elliott, is or
chestra leader, scores success over
night when the director Of the COM
pany stages a "ship cabaret" in an
old sea-going vessel stranded on the
South Sea shores.
Lou becomes big favorite, but
the squalor of the place nauseates
her and she tells Jim they must
leave, at least for the sake of their
two-year-old boy. Jim's quiet emo
tional nature is mistaken for indif-
ference by Lou; although he loves
his wife and child dearly.
Meets Dan McGrew
One night at the resort, Lou
meets slick gambler, Dan McGrew,
who tells her she could make her
fortune if she would do her act in
New York under his management.
Her husband suspects McGrew's de-
signs and forbids Lou to go.
But Lou is made desperate through
the hardships that her child has to
endure and decides to take a chance
on big city success in order that the
boy may be brought up in decent
comfort. She leaves with McGrew,
who contrives to have the child left
behind at the last minute.
In New York, through McGrew's
shrewd management, Lou captures
the town as an entertainer in fash
ionable cabaret. She sends money
for Jim and the boy to join her and
Jim cables that they are on their
way. But McGrew intercepts the
cable and FORCES another in its
place, in which he says that the
child has died through LOUIS neg
ect and that Lou and McGrew can
90 to hell together.

Montana's Valuation Is
Over a Billion Dollars

Montana's assessed valuation for
1925 is 1897, 7,O53,O96 according to
figures compiled by the state board
of equalization.
These figures include all classes
of property, including the public
utilities and net proceeds of mines.
The total county assessments
show valuation of $1,153, ,142,771.
The public utilities are valued at
S234,707,832 and the net proceeds
of mines at $9,202,439. Twenty
two counties have no taxable pro-
ceeds from mines.
There was a decrease in the val
uation of public utilities of almost
four million dollars, while other
property decreased in valuation
more than $47000,000.
Only two counties in the state
exceed the hundred million dollar
mark in ssessments-Silver Bow at
$116,897,057, and Cascade at $110,-
868,598.
Treasure county has the smallest
assessed valuation totaling only
1868, 754.0O.

WILLISTON WINS
FIRST INTER-CITY
WOLF POINT GOLFERS LICKED
BUT ENJOY FINE DAY
ACROSS THE LINE

Fifteen Wolf Point golfers re-
turned from their Sunday Match
with like number of members of the
Williston club, thoroughly delighted
with their trip and experience in
spite of the fact that they were van
quished by their North Dakota op-
ponents, who had invited them for
the day.
1t was the first inter-city match
for both clubs and was such a sue
cess it is hoped it will be followed
by numerous others, this season and
following seasons. A return match
with the Williston club has been
tentatively arranged for either Sep
tember 9th or 18th.
Forenoon Round
An early start brought the
Evolves" into Williston by nine
o'clock or earlier and after a much
enjoyed breakfast everybody went
out to the links a mile east of town.
Four Wolf Point lady fans, Mrs.
Frank Catlin, Mrs. F. E. Rathert,
Mrs. George H. Flint and Mrs. I. L.
Jensen accompanied the party.
The thirty players were made in
to squads for a nine-hole morning
workout to give the visitors chance
to get acquainted with the links and

Bows Refuse to Reveal
Treasure to Judge Paul

The case of the four Bainville
boys who claim that they have a
buried treasure in that vicinity from
which they have been using money,
was taken under advisement by
Judge S. E. Paul, Thursday at law
and motion sessions. The parents of
all four boys were in court and af-
ter the session was over the boys
accompanied them to their homes.
Richard Meinhardt, who claims to
have found the treasure flatly re-
fused to tell the court where the
money was buried. The hearing was
held behind closed doors as it was
a juvenile case.

Josephine Shampayne
Is Released From Jail

Josephine Shampayne, who last
week received a sentence of either
90 days in jail or fine of $500 by
Police Magistrate E. B. Keplinger
of Bainville was released from the
Roosevelt County Jail Thursday
when Judge S. E. Paul handed down
the decision that her commitment
was void. The sentence given her
by the Bainville official was dis
junctive as it gave the choice of
two separate sentences. Had it
been one sentence or the other or
both it would have stood. AS it was
there was no understanding on the
part of the officials as to which of
the two sentences to enforce. The
prisoner had been held on a liquor
charge.

ME. CHURCHYEAR
END CELEBRATED
FEATURED BY BIG BANQUET
REV. COLE PRESIDES
PROGRESS SHOWN

Notable progress, both spiritual
and material, marked the reports
given at the Jubilee banquet of the
local Methodist Episcopal church

district who then took general
charge of the meeting. In his open
ing address the Rev. Cole spoke of
the relationship of church life to
material and family life, emphasiz-

much to open the way for civiliza
tion.

OPHEIM- M-HAVRE R. R.
HAS BEEN SUGGESTED

The possibility of the Great North
ern railway building branch line
from Opheim to Havre connecting
the cities of Scobey, Bainville, OPP
helm and Havre, and many more
smaller inland towns, was discussed
at meeting of the Havre Rotary
club recently.
n. E. Gourley led the discussion
after brief talk made by L. K.
Devlin in which he related the views
of Ralph Budd, president of the
railroad, when Mr.. Budd was here
last month, Mr.. Budd promised to
send an engineer to lok over the pro-
posed line.
According to Mr.. Gurley, Havre
would be made the distributing
point for the large territory now
supplied by Williston, the shipments
going over the branch lines between
Bainville, Scobey and Opheim. The
proposed road would be some 800
miles in length and would connect
Havre with many inland towns in
addition to the larger cities in the
northeastern part of the state.
A word picture in which Great
Northern railroad running along the
northern border of Montana from
the east boundary line to the oil
fields at Kelvin and Sunburst, over
large tracts of wheat and farming
lands was painted by Mr.. Gourley.
A committee consisting of Mr..
Devlin and E. C. Carruth was named
to start an active campaign on the
part of the Rotary club for the
building of the road. A third mem
Der will be named by Mr.. Devlin
and Mr.. Carruth.

OPERATION OF HEADER
THRESHER EXPLAINED

That the header thresher common
ly called combine harvester is des-
tined to have a permanent place in
the wheat industry in Roosevelt
county is believed by Carl Miller of
Bredette Community who has op-
Grated it and a number of farmers
in his community who have observ-
ed the operation of this machine for
the past two years. Mr.. Miller Sc
cured header thresher last year
and harvested his entire crop with it.
He claimed that by using this ma
chine he greatly reduced the eX-
pense of harvesting and threshing
as it cost him from 5 cents to- Z
cents per bushel to put his wheat
from the field into the bin. Mr..
Miller is large acreage wheat far
mer and as soon as his wheat be-
comes ripe enough to cut with the
header he starts the header crew,
heads and stacks his grain and then
as soon as it becomes little ripper,
enough to handle with the combine,
he starts it and when this operation
is complete he uses his header thresh-
er to thresh the headed stacks.
Mr.. Miller believes that for land
that is comparatively level and not
too rough that the header thresher
is suitable where the stand of wheat
is fairly good. 1t does not pay,
however, he thinks to run the head
er thresher over a field that will not
yield over five or six bushels to the
acre unless a fourteen foot or six
teen foot header can be secured as
a twelve foot header is not wide
