WORDS FROM

NOTHING, indeed, has the pos,

can with any certainty discover
what at the bottom is true
character Of any man.-Burke.
Every man rejoices twice when
he has a partner Of his joy
Taylor.
Every man living shall as
suredly meet with an hour Of
temptation, certain critical
hour, which shall more especially
try what mettle his heart is
made of.-South.
Man is a. thinking being,
whether he will or no. All he can
do is to turn his thoughts the
best way.-Temple.
Every moment may be put to
some use, and that with much
more pleasure than II unem-
ployed.-Chesterfield.
Time is the surest sense Of
truth.-Dryden.
It is no point Of wisdom for a
man to beat his brains about
things possible.-Hakewell.
Talk often, but not long. Tho
talent Of haranguing In private
company is insupportable.-
Horne.
There is no study that is not
capable of delighting us after a
little application to it.-Fops.
There is no virtue so truly
great and god-like as Justice
Addison.
The improvement Of the under
standing Is for two ends; first,
for our own increase Of knowl-

deliver and make out that knowl.

l doubt whether those who

Have wandered and sought, in

that does not speak
whispers the o'erfrought heart
and bids 1t break.
Shakespeare.
Discretion of speech is more
than eloQuence, and to speak
agreeably to him with whom we
deal is more than to speak in
good words or in good order.

NNHE rule for the correct attire

IL the bride wears formal clothes
"a white dress and veiD then, to
be consistent, the groom should
wear formal clothes. That is the
rule, but of course. circumstances
alter cases." and one often has
to adapt ones wishes to what
one can do. II you have the
wedding at oclock, and the
groom does not wish to wear for
NAL clothes, then the only thing
that he should wear is the dark
blue or black business suit. And
this certainly looks out oe place
when the bride wears a veil. If

o'clock then the groom may sub

COMMISSIONER
REPLIES TO PETITION

AT the suggestion of Secretary
Gordon several of the business con-
Germs of Wolf Point petitioned Com
missioner of the General Land Of
flee, William Spry by wire urging
deferred action in the matter of can
cellations of reservation lands. The
following letter received by o. C.
Heinze of The Golden Rule was ty-
pical of the replies received. The
letter is dated at Washington, Oct.
80 and says:
The Golden Rule Drygoods Com
pany, Wolf Point, Montana.
Gentlemen:
Receipt is acknowledged of your
telegram of October 27, 1925, which
reads as follows:
eve hereby petition you to defer
cancelling homestead entries Fort
Peck Reservation for non-payment
amount due November first. Weather
conditions have been and continue
bad. Homesteaders unable to mar
ket crop. Reappraisement has been
asked and in many instances no &C
ton taken. We respectfully and
earnestly ask your favorable con-
sideration of this petition"
Adverse action for non-payment
on entries of lands within the former
Fort Peck Indian Reservation was
suspended from June "a, 1921, to
March A, 1925, by order of the Sec
rotary of the Interior, pending con-
sideration by Congress of various
bills introduced for the relief of
such homesteaders. The relief
measure finally enacted was the act
of March 4, 1925 Public No. 6O8).
Section 1 of the act allows an en-
tryman who was an actual settler on
his entry on March a, 1925, to pay
one-half of the principal and inter
est due on or before November 1,
1925, and the balance on or before
November 1, 1926. Section 2 pro-
vides that any entryman who was
not such a settler shall pay the to-
tai amount of principal and interest
due on or before November 1, 1925.
Both sections provide that upon
failure of an entryman to make the
required payments his entry shall be
cancelled and the land revert to the
status of other tribal lands of the
Fort Peck Indian Reservation.
1t is the understanding of this of

this church is putting on for the
whole life of the community.
The Sunday school last Sunday

The average for the last three Sun

The Epworth League is greatly

befell one of their number who was
beloved by all, Dale Smith. They
are a%nxiously praying and awaiting

Behind The Scenes In
Political Side Shows

Washington, Nov. 3-Though the
sideshows of politics are running at
full blast, another month must
elapse before the Goth Congress, the
main attraction, trots out the fea-
tured performers in our national
life. The courtmartial of Colonel
Mitchell is the most interesting spec
tacle of the day. This affair pro-
ceeds Independently but the other is
sues are contingent upon Congress
sional intervention. That is the rea-
son for the Mitchell case holding
front page positions in the daily
newspapers of the country.
Political Fuel
Next year is a vital one in the af-
fairs of individual members of Con-
gress. 1t is the campaign season.
For this reason, experienced observ-
ers believe that the discussions in
the Shipping Board and the Federal
Trade Commission will contribute
more political fuel than the Mitchell
controversy. Some are of the opin-
ion that the Mitchell matter will be
easily forgotten by the public as it
serves merely to usher in the gen.
eral topic of Federal aviation poll
cies.
Every effort is being made to pro-
long the court-martial proceedings
on technicalities because of the pop
ular interest. Without this wide
spread publicity a court-martial of
equal Importance would soon be
handled by the military court and
written into army records. After
the initial display of fireworks by
the Mitchell defense, the court-mar-
tial has taken on the routine as
poets. 1t will require considerable
activities or propaganda
to keep the eye of the public on this
particular case.
Charges Against Picture Makers
The charges of the Federal Trade
against certain moving
producers has aroused inter-
est in this independent Federal

flee that the bill, which later became
the act of March A, 1925, was in
troduced after a meeting of the
Fort Peck homesteaders was held at
which the terms of the act were
agreed upon. The bill has now be-
come law and with no pending legis-
lation on the matter there is no JUS
LITIGATION for a further suspension of
adverse action.
This office very much regrets that
it is without authority to grant your
petition.
Very respectfully,
WILLIAM SPRY, Commits
sioner.
