FRESHIES WIN LAURELS
Acting in Play'et Unexpeci-
eddy Good Christmas Pres
ents Awarded.

Mrs. Briggs of the Cabbage
Patch as presented by the fresh
man class went over big at the
High School last Thursday evening
Before the play started Mr.. Kracht,
who directed the play, made the
announcement that it was absolute
ly the first appearance of the caste
in public and that they would pro
baby need some encouragement in
he way of little applause if thev
did their parts anywheres near
good. After the whole thing was
over it was decided that a majority
of the credit and applause should
go to the man who directed and
put the thing across, as we'll as to
the principals of the caste. Some
now or other the local public
always gets about 300 percent kick
out of Mr. Kracht's plays. He al
ways gives them their money S
worth.
The play, rather a simple comedy
with Marion Belongy doing several
times as many lines as any other
person, went off without hitch.
The acting was not as selfconscious
as was expected and the Freshies
talked loud enough to suit all of
the audience. The girls controlled
themselves a little better than the
boys did but the difference was so
slight that it could scarcely be no.
ticed.
Upward of about three quarts of
jazz was dumped into the perform
ance by presenting several of the
local fans with Christmas presents.
Judge Frank w. Carter received a
handsome hand painted unbreak-
able doll. Twas said that they had
missed seeing him with his dolly
for sometime. Fred ]. Strong re-
ceived a High School letter for his
faithful attendance at the basket
ball games. If the local school
could have seen the way that Mr..
Strong rooted for the team at
Laona last Friday night they would
have considered the letters we'll
awarded. He nearly was mebbed
by the Laona fans, so strenuous
was his work for the home team.
Miss Cora Olson received gun.
She is an expert shot, though it
was not said what she shot. Miss
Winnie Menefee received a balloon
to fill up her hope chest, and SO on
ad infnitum.
The play and the entertainment
all told was good. When is the next
one?

Keep a Watchful Eye
on Your Christmas Tree

The greater part of the fire loss
IN winter is due to poor chimneys,
dangerous installation of heating
devices, smoke pipes, hot-air pipes
and registers and to roof fires, the
asst causing majority of the fire
alarms, says a bulletin just issued
by the State Industrial Commission.
There are, however, some special
hazards against which all should
guard. First among these is the
Christmas tree fire hazard A
Christmas time fire is especially to
be avoided because of the danger
to life and the ruin of the season s
pleasure. No place can be counted
as absolute safe at the time of such
fire. At Babb's Switch, in Okla
homa, IN one-story frame school
house, last Christmas thirty-seven
children lost their lives, many of
them burned beyond recognition.
A few special cautions only are
offered. Avoid the use of cotton
for trimming and decorating, imi-
tatlon hair, Santa Claus whiskers
and cotton suits, paper decorations
and similar combusible materials.
Asbestos or mineral wool instead of
cotton should be used, and tinsel
and glass instead of paper garland.
Electric lights are safer than can
dies.
Christmas time brings a great
deal of paper wrapping and pack
ing. This should be removed from
the building Immediately or prop
erly stored
Christmas tree candles should be
lighted by adults only.
A few fires each winter are re-
ported as caused by efforts to thaw
out frozen water pipes by the use
Of fame, live Goals or torches.
Wrapping frozen pipes heavily with
cloths, then pouring boiling water
on this cloth packing will thaw out
the pipes without any danger of
setting the building on fire.
Care must be exercised in storing
soft coal. The bin should be of in,
combustible material and have a
safe clearance to boilers, furnaces,
smoke and hot air pipes. Coal
should not be piled up to the cell
ing. The higher the pile the great
er the liability of spontaneous COM
bustion in soft coal. In case of fire
in a soft coal bin, the only safe way
is to remove the coal to the outside.
Coal in the bin should never be
wetted.
Sometimes the gases arising from
burning coal piles are sufficient to
snuff out human life.

PLAYS WabenO Tonight

This Wednesday evening Eagle
River plays Wabeno in the local
gym. The fellows have been run
ning into rather tough luck lately.
Too many strong teams all in a
bunch. Wabeno rather ran away
with them down on Wabena's floor
but since then we have received
some very valuable workouts-that
is, the two Laona games. On their
own floor the local fellows can be
expected to give Wabeno a good
game. In fact they always give US
good game but sometimes better
than others.

to Manager Rogney of the theatre
there were accepted as very valu-
able and interesting to the farmer
in that territory and it is believed
that seeing such valuable, practical
and educational movies will be an
asset to any progressive farmer
along these economic lines. These
shows have been designed as spec

addition to the educational reels the
regular feature picture will be

1.-THE MONTANA WOMAN"

The October issue Of "The Mon
tana Woman" official organ Of the
federated Woman's clubs of the
state, is a number for its editors
and patrons to be proud Of. The
products Of the pen of the editor,
Mrs. Ike E. O. Pace, are truly Mon
tanan in spirit and carry messages
on live issues that lack neither cour-
age nor lucidity. The issue, in com
mon with all its issues, is a big boost
for Montana and carries many timely
articles and a liberal amount of well
deserved advertising. Wolf Point is
one of the towns played up in the
October number.

STRAWBERRIES AND SNOW

In spite of the snowfall this
week fresh Strawberries from
ones own garden are still to be
be had in Wolf Point. The Con-
ME Schenkenberger family had
strawberry shortcake Monday
evening which was made from
strawberries picked from their
W garden. Glacier Park, where
you pick flowers with one hand
and snowballs with the other, has
nothing on Wolf Point. Other
garden owners report lettuce and
Swiss chard, as nice as they have
had all summer, still flourishing
and unframed by the soft snow.

Coaxing the Goose That
Lays the Golden Egg

In the days when raising poultry was less a bus
mess and more of a side line, most folks thought
that the hen had to have her own sweet way about
: laying. The farmer accepted with equanimity the
: fact that the hens normally quit laying when cold
: weather approaches, and that the price Of eggs scars.
: Then along came poultry journals and articles
: in the papers and magazines and government bull
letins suggesting ways and means to induce her ma
: jesty to lay out Of season.
And 50 today in the expert poultry business we
find men employing all the factors which contribute
to a disposition on the part Of the hen to lay when
: eggs are high.
Warm winter quarters won't do the work.
Green food won't do the work. Exercise won't do
the work. Poultry tonics won't do the work. But
all of these things and many others are contributing
factors in the business Of inducing the hen to lay
when eggs are most needed.
Many a business could CLEAN a lesson from the
poultry expert on how to coax the goose that lays
the golden egg.
If we were to say to you that stationery like we
print for particular customers is the secret of sue
cess we'd be the Prince of Liars-but when we say
that it can be a contributing factor in the success of
any business we speak profound truth.
