By G. A. Swanson, Ell Reno
That flag? Yes stranger, o'er is the flag we love-
It is the emblem of a proud and sovereign
Whose deeds and virtues eer like consultations blaze
To win the freedom of their beloved land
defenders
And wavered not, feared sumber with the dead
That flag is dear to every loyal heart, and true
Hands off that flag!
It is a flag precious far than yellow gold
Harbinger
The of multtudes who from Oppression flee
And is all within its fold:
Freedoms this glorious flag has been unfurled
To watt in majesty and from shore to shore
Respected, Sir, it is around this whiTing world
Therefore regard it WELL it brooks evil
Where'er see it wave beneath the vauted sky
Hands off that flag!
I what whence you
%
Your heritage-yOur ancient blood do not seek
But while sojourn here and breathe this air
And eat bread seek fortune in soil
We bid GOd-speed the prospect of honest toll
But if temptation to break faith,-Beware
And Valley you'll find to be spirit stil:-
Hands off that flag!
Upon that field of blue there a
Zach star within that galaxy a sovereign State
Feared and respected by the nations and far;
they
q fearless challenge to Oppression's iron heel,
The worlds champion right might.
This mighty nation peaceful but devoid of fear
Reveres that emblem
Hands off that flag!

Small Garage Fire
Great Northern Yards

Fire, believed to have been caused
by the explosion of an oil heater,
destroyed small garage and Ford
truck between twelve and one
o'clock Thursday morning. The prop
erty belongs to the Great Northern

ice houses. A shed used to store ce~
ment was also partly destroyed The
fire department was promptly on the
scene and rendered excellent service
in putting out the fire that had COM
municated to the cement shed and
in saving other property. Had the de-
partment not been prompt and put
up a vigorous fight against the flames
the ice houses and new $4,000 icing
platform and equipment might have
been destroyed. AS it was the loss
was about $500.

A review or summary of the COM
mercial affairs of Wolf Point and
Roosevelt county leads to decidedly
optimistic feeling toward the present
year. The remarkable change and
splendid improvement in matters that
are vital to prosperity are scarcely
appreciated by our own people and if
Montana, and our section in partic-
ular, is to attain and hold the posi-
ton it deserves in the estimates of
the people in other states, particu-
larly the east, no opportunity should
be lost to pass out to those looking
this way the substantial facts we
have to back up our confidence in
our city and country.

Roosevelt County Ranks
High in Pure Bred Stock

Roosevelt county is not only a
leader in wheat raised from register
ed and approved source of which
$4,000 bushels were produced this
year but is among the highest in her
registered livestock improvement as
result of four years of Extension
work in this line with the active sup
port of the pioneer registered live
stock breeders who have put Roose-
velt county foremost in the State in
the number and quality of high class
registered animals within its bound
aries. Four years ago when the live
stock Improvement program COM
menced there were very few herds
which were headed by registered
sire. In fact in the western two
thirds of the county it was almost
impossible to find such thing as a
registered sire heading farm herd.
Through constant work in commun-
ity meetings, moving pictures, posters
news stories and talks by livestock
project leaders of the Farm Bureau
the situation is very much changed
and the exact reverse has been real
lied. For at the present time there
are very few herds of cattle in the
county not headed by or having
access to a registered sire. The few
who have none are getting them as
fast as possible. In addition good
number of farmers have a start in
females as we'll
Roosevelt county lis particularly
fortunate in making such rapid strides
along this line by having within its
boundaries as a foundation, large

FACULTY HONORS
NOTED EDUCATOR
DR.. DAVIS OF STATE NORMAL
VISITS CITY SCHOOLS
DELIGHTFUL BANQUET

The visit of DR.. Sheldon E. Davis,
president of the state normal school
at Dillon, to the Wolf Point city
schools on Monday was the occasion
for a banquet given by the school
faculty in honor of their guest Mon
day evening at the Sherman.
DR.. Davis is visiting a few of the
schools which he has not visited be-
fore in the northeastern part of the
state The informal gathering given
in his honor proved one of the happi-
est and most inspiring ever held in
the city, according to the declara-
tions of many of the guests. It was
strictly informal affair marked by
fine spirit difficult to describe better
than by the near bromide, "a feast
of reason and flow of soul"
35 At Table
Three or four of those expected
were unable to attend but 35 seated
themselves at the L-shaped table in
the Sherman dining room. While the
first of the several delicious courses
was being served, song books belong
ing to the local schools were passed
along, and Superintendent Living
ston proposed the idea of songs be-
tween courses, anyone to feel free to
suggest any song he preferred. Miss
Frances Ohnstad kindly consented
to act in the role of accompaniaist.
A dozen or fifteen songs were sung,
ranging from the old ballads of 40
years ago, and including a few sac
red songs, to our beloved "Montana. F."
Several Solos
Besides the selections sung in cho-
rus, Rev. Sydney Walker rendered
two selections in a manner that was
truly entertaining and delightful.
These were "Thora" and "The Night
Wind"
Later in the evening Dean Swan
son, high school boy gifted with a
rich baritone voice sang 'Montana7
a song specially written for Montana
month and set to the air of "Mar-
cheta." He responded to an encore
with 'Love's Old Sweet Song"
Toasts
Miss Katherine McAleer was toast
mistress and filled the role in hap
py manner with much credit to her
self.
Miss Amanda Smith, member of
the city school faculty and a Dillon
graduate, made the address of well
come to DIR. Davis. Her remarks
were well fitted to the occasion and
devoted largely to the coming of DR..
Davis to Dillon normal six years ago
and his valuable work done there
since that time.
The toastmistress called on John

Car farm which has been the chief
source of registered shorthorn supply
within the county. This year the sale
was not held because the private de-
mand for their stock was so great
that there was nothing left to sell
when the time came for the said sale.
The Mar Car herd consists of 140
head of registered cattle headed by
the famous bull, Mar Supreme, a
straight Scotch animal secured from
the Below herd of Marysville, Mo-,
and having won first at the Pacific
international Livestock Show. Their
annual sale distribution is forty head
most Of which go to breeders in the
Northeastern part of Montana. They
practice the method of selecting and
keeping their best heifers with the
idea of adding further quality to the
herd. A new herd bull will be pur-
chased by them next year.
Tom Nelson of the Dane Valley
may also be termed a pioneer regis
tered shorthorn breeder having Sc
cured his foundation, both bulls and
heifers, from the Mar Car herd but
having raised enough to be good
factor in distributing breeding stock.
George L. Piercy of Bainville has
been in the registered shorthorn bus
mess two years now and is becom-
ing our livestock breeder in the east
end Of the county.
H. C. Bjorge of Culbertson, one
of the largest and most successful
dairy men in that territory, is the
other pioneer shorthorn breeder but

This event will give local fans a
chance to witness what promises to
be real battle. Tobin is recognized
as clever hard-hitting boy capable
of standing up under rough treat
ment. Ferguson proved in his last
fight with Jack Williams that he is
a dangerous man in the ring and
capable of holding his own with any
