Banquet at The White
Cafe Tuesday Night

At the conclusion of the wrestling
bout Tuesday night Elmer McCarl
entertained party of friends at a
sumptuous banquet that is described
by those so fortunate as to be pres
ent as a CLASSY affair Turkey
supplied by John Fuglesbo was the
top line item on the menu, which
was deliciously prepared from soup
to nuts.
The guest Of honor was Stanley
Buresh, winner of the big match.
The other invited guests were: Mr..
and Mrs. H. C. Saunders, Mr.. and
Mrs. Sverre Larson, Mr.. and Mrs.
Jesse Sillerud, Chas. Hauge, Art Hall,
and John Fuglesbo. The banquet
was served at the White Cafe, of
which Mr.. McCarl is proprietor.

with his opponent on his shoulders.
Stanley was successful in getting a
series of head locks on Tom that
were harder and harder to break, but
it was in getting out of these that
Alley proved his class as an athlete.
Through co-ordinated muscular pow
er, while his head was held in hui
man wise, he lashed his body to and
fro in a half circle until the impetus
was sufficient to wrench him free
from his opponents arms.
Buresh Knocked Out
The end came with startling sud
denness when, after breaking apart,
Alley rushed at Buresh as if to gain
a new hold. His hands were open,
one pressed his opponents head back
and it is claimed the other, still open,
caught him in the vicinity of the solar
plexis. Buresh went on his back,
dazed and for few seconds appar-
entity helpless. After perhaps min

Speed VS.. Strength

Speed VS.. Strength
Buresh is a bundle of steel springs
and a fast man in action but Alley
appeared to have considerable on him
in the matter Of speed. Tom Alley
is marvel of strength as shown by
the holds he broke, but for sheer
power of muscle and endurance it
looked as if Stanley had the advant-
age. Both demonstrated that they
could break any hold the other man
could.get. Nelson's and half Nelson's
and toe holds yielded them little.
The scissors and head lock were
used with telling effect and if the
match had continued might haye re-
suited in falls. Buresh made more
progress with his head locks than with
any other holds he could get Both
men used the scissors on body and
head, which seems to be wearing
down process but seldom brings di-
rect results.
Once while in the grip of a scissors
on his head Tom rose to his feet

Telegraphic reports from numer-
Gus places in Illinois say that more
than 1900 persons were killed by
a tornado that swept through south
ern Illinois and Indiana late Wednes-

cribable fury, the storm virtually de-
stroyed the towns of Murphysboro
and Parrish and wrought heavy dam
age in DeSoto, Duquoin, West Frank
fort, Thompsonville, Logan and sew
eral other towns. Wires are down
in every direction, reports are con-
fiisting and it is impossible at this
time to check the reported casuali-
ties.
At Parrish and Frankfort
But three persons out of total
population of 500 are said to have
escaped injury in the storm which
struck Parrish. West Frankfort re-
ported more than $50 dead Muir
physboro in excess of 100 dead and

gave several numbers in the assembly
room. At 1 80 the first music mem

Roosevelt county officials aided us
also.

Meaning of Game

"America being nation of work
ers in which all men and great
many women are engaged in business
for the purpose of making living
for themselves and their families and
providing for old age, it naturally
follows that the young people who
are taking the various school courses
to fit thmselves for business should
thoughtfully and carefully consider
just what is meant by this term.
"Since the war there has been a
complete and thorough revolution IN
the ethics of the business world, with
the result that business in all the diff
ferent departments of industry and
commerce has been practically and
automatically translated into "Serv-
ice," reciprocal service so closely
connected that in the event of any
one branch failing to function pune
tually or correctly many. correspond
ing services are seriously affected.
"Many professional and some busi-
ness men sell nothing but service.
Railroads sell what some people call
Transportation, but which is really
service, and it is their business and
chief object to sell the highest class
service possible, since the public ex-
poets and is entitled to obtain such /
service. Poor service is expensive,
no matter how cheap it may appear ,
to be.
"There are two ways for the rail
roads to win possible favor. One
is to treat railway patrons well; the
other is to constantly give to the
public the facts about the railroad
business that it wants to know and
ought to know. 1t for this purpose
that the Bureaus of Public Relations
have been created, with the result
that the work of these bureaus has
come to be regarded as ranking with
other railroad work. 1t has been
shown by experience that the render
ing of good and efficient service is
not alone sufficient to win and keep
public favor; the performance of this
service must be recorded in the pub
ic mind so that no one may ques-
ion the right of the railroad to earn
such fair return as may attract capi- /
al for new investment. Through I
he work of the Bureau of Public /
Relations, the public now recognizes t
he fact that the railroads should
lave a reasonable return on their i
Investments, thus allowing for eco V
lomical and efficient operation, and G
he building up of credit for neces- T
ary expenditures. F
"a serious misapprehension un- s
er which the public has long been
aboring, is that the Transportation {
Ict of 1920 guaranteed a return to I
he railroads of 5A per cent upon 3
ne valuation of the railroad prop
rty. There is no guarantee what P
yer provided in the Transportation
ct. The railroads are merely per-
lifted to retain from their earnings O.

The Brockton boys who made the
trip were Paul Lund, Dale Lund,
Warren Linderfeld, Paul Gilligan,
Marland Adkins, Alvin Lein and John
Schmitz. William Smith was ref
cree.
Nashua Wins, 80
After the basketball game the
businessmen of Wolf Point played
volleyball with the fast Nashua team.
The game was quite even but our
team seemed a little wild and some
ragged work resulted in Nashua TAX
ing the fifth game and hence walking
home with the grapes. We are to
play a return game there in the
near future. Coach Smith acted as
referee. We failed to secure the
names of all of the men who made
the trip from Nashua, but we at
least know that they know the game.
A letter from the physical director
Of the Y. M. C. A. of Helena says
that the state volleyball tournament
is to be held there on April 9, 10
and II. They would like to have
the Wolf Point team enter the tour
nament. This would be real adver-
tising for our town as very few of
the smaller cities take part in this
Entertained at Matinee
In the afternoon Mr.. Severson of
the Liberty theatre very kindly put
