PRELIMINARY REPORT
in CLEANUP CAMPAIGN

Some of the checkers were mex
perienced so that these reports are
not absolutely reliable but they are
near enough to give the people of
Wolf Point an idea of what is to be
done in the various sections of the
city. The one thing to remember
is that the block with the poorest re-
port has the best chance to become
the champion block of the city.

CHANGE IN TRAIN SCHEDULE

The hour at which No. a leaves
here has been changed from 9:55 p.
m. to 9:20 p. m., according to a
schedule which went into effect last
week. Speeding up of train service
from coast to coast, and better con-
nections between transcontinental
trains in Chicago, prompted the
change which will lessen the running
time between Seattle and Chicago.

bined have S8 percent of the worlds
lights, leaving only IL percent to be
distributed among the continents of
South America, Asia, Africa and

These figures are based upon a
compilation recently made of the
number of electric light bulbs used
annually by the several continents
and countries.
The leading nations in the employ
ment of electric lighting are listed in
the following order: United States,
Germany, Japan, France, Great Bri-
tain, Italy, Russia, Canada and

There is no firm more in accord
with the advancing and ever chang
ing times than this modern establish
ment which has come to be recog-
nized as the radio headquarters of
his section of the country.
The radio of today is just q step
in advance of the times and is a
great aid in the education and ad-
vancement of the age as well as for
the entertainment of the household.
1t makes the fires at the home burn
brighter when the family can sit
around in the evening and listen to
the bands, orchestra and other en-
rcrtainment in the far away. Every
one should be patron of this con-
cern as the encouragement of the
arts and sciences aids in their on
ward progress and future develop
nent.
You do not need to possess tech
nical knowledge to enjoy the wond-
ers of radio. Their service of free
installation together with their guar
antee of successful operation relieves
you of all detail.
You are cordially invited to heay

one of these sets in operation.
They have at their store a COM
plete stock of all supplies and acces-
sories that are being made by the
manufacturers of Dafan and David
Grimes radio equipment and
offer complete service. No
matter what it is that you
desire for radio equipment, you
can get it here and it will be exactly
what you need as they are authorit-
les on the subject and only buy such
accessories as are serviceable.
Their service department has
reached the highest state Of eff
cheney, having complete equipment
and men who have had much exper-
fence, thus assuring owners of the
best of service.
In making this review OF our pro-
gress we desire to compliment the
manager, who is adding much to
the social and business life of the
period by offering compete stock
and service and practically operating
a school for the development of this,
the latest science.

finished in duotone Duco colors' and
have upholstery and fittings that
represent the acme of modern coach
building.
Service is where Buick again
scores as they have been manufac-
tured since the inception of the in
dustry and have sales and service
everywhere. Just look up in any
town and you will see the Buick SER
vice sign. They carry full line of
parts and the Buick is kept in con
tinuous operation. Some of these
service stations are larger than some
of the automobile factories. 1t is
very important in selecting car to
have one that will be kept in con-
tinuous running order.
The Zelley Motor Company is
headquarters for autoists when in
the territory for instant service as
well as any information as to roads
and accommodations The employ
ees are all able and efficient and the
statesmen are abreast of the times on
the development in auto industry.
In making this review of today we
predict for the Zelley Motor
Company their most pros
porous year as they have selected
cars that forecast the future in auto
development and are in the van
guard of progress, always holding
the first place at the New York Mot
or Show.

The Judicious expenditure of mon
ey in advertising has been the con-
tinuous study Of both advertising
specialists and business men. It has
been universally conceded after a
wide survey Of the subject that the
rural and suburban press offers a
medium of great merit.
In the early days or advertising
many measured the value merely by
the thousands of circulation, but this
opinion has been much limited of
late because of the changes in dis
tribution and the assignment of ter
titory by many manufacturers. 1t is
manifestly not to the benefit of any
distributor or dealer to advertise in q
magazine or metropolitan paper at s
high rate that circulates over a wide
area or has a general circulationwhen
he has specific territory to cover
and does not dare to sell in the much
IF the field covered by such publica-
tions. With merchants and many
other lines of trade while there are
legal restrictions yet there is the
trade line restriction that enters and
determines his policy. The paper
that circu'ates in the immediate terri
tory is one that will bring the re
suits and the advertising in such pub
lications is of course much en-
hanced in value.
Other elements o1 s1raI import
ance to the advertiser are also ap
parent in the circulation of the rural
and suburban paper such as the feet
that it is family paper and people
read it clear through and do not pick
it up to look at the markets or base.

EXPECTING TOO MUCH

Small-town hotels have been the
objects of criticism, ridicule anc
sneers on the part of their guests
from time immemorial. But prob
ably most of them are furnishing
the best accommodations they car
under the circumstances.
Travellers who are accustomed tc
modern conveniences and comforts
in larger hotels probably expect toe
much when they strike a village hos
telry.
AS a reminder of this fact, one
country town hotel-keeper placed
signs in his rooms, which read as
follows:
"This amt the Waldorf-Astoria-
If it was it wouldn't be here-You
amt ]. P. Morgan-If you was you
wouldn't be here-We know this Ho.

built up large trade from this
and adjoining counties and it is safe
to assert that the name and business
is probably as well known among
the farmers of this section of
the state as that of any other SIM
liar establishment in the nearby
towns and cities.
They are prepared for proper
handling of the goods and the display
of the stock to the advantage of their
patrons. All the implements an6
supplies are of the latest pattern
and include all of the most recently
improved inventions and improve
ments. The stock is composed of
the leading and best known lines of
implements and farm machinery
known throughout the world as the
best on the market. Men are in char
ge who are courteous and accommod-
ating and who will be pleased to de-
monstrate to any farmer who desires
to drop into this favorite trading
place and keep up on the late models
of farm implements and supplies.
The matter of price has also receiv-
ed attention here for it has become
we'll established fact not only in the
city but in the surrounding country
that the quotations of this store are
always as low as is consistent with
sound business. They permit no one
to offer greater values, just as they
permit no one to offer higher quality
and this happy combination has re-
suited in large and ever-increasing
custom.
There are no more public spirited
citizens in the community than
Mr.. Parker of the Burlington
Supply Company and in making this
review of the onward progress of
this section of the state we wish to
compliment them and to direct your
attention to this establishment as one
of the reliable business institutions
of the community which has added to
the development and progress of this
part Of the state.

NAME YOUR PLACE-THE Gus.
TOM OF NAMING ESTATES
FARMS AND COUNTRY PLACES
is QUITE THE VOGUE TODAY.

The naming Of the estate, farm OF
country place has become quite popu-
lar. 1t gives beautiful estate caste
to give it an individual name that
bespeaks its environment. The farm.

have a name and the owner will find

cry, cartons and tags with the name
Of the farm printed on them. It
lrohts. The more the valuation in
the county the less the tax rate is.
The fact that the people have be-
gun to realize that b Tying around
home benefits them in more ways
than cne and that they get Just as
much for their money has greatly
increased the prosperity Of the som-
munity.

They have valuable connections
in many parts of the country and are
in touch with people who are seeking
homes in this section and are able to
offer the people clients who have the
money and want to buy-people who
are seeking homes-not houses.
The large volume of business gives
them experience and knowledge Of
values that can be secured in no
other channel.
The home is the bulwark Of the
American nation. The fireside from
the days of colonial life down to the
present has been the place where
true Americanism was taught. The
manager of this Office is thus aiding
in a great work by the promotion Of
home owning, for to be a citizen
means much in the life and progress
of the community, but to be q real
estate and home owner means the
elevation to a higher standard Of
citizenship and usefulness of the in
dividual, the real bulwark of strength
to the city and state, and nowhere
in the country is a city better situ-
ated among pleasant surroundings,
which make for the home ideal.
In making this review of the on
ward progress of this community we
are glad to compliment them upon
their standing in the business and
professional world of this section Of
the state and to refer the place to
all Of our readers as one worthy Of
the fullest consideration.

In ali the professions there are
men who stand prominently at the
front because Of their inherent nat
ural ability combined with a thoro-
ugh knowledge Of the profession in
which they are engaged and their
ability to study each individual at
tainment and give it touch that Ia
not "just ordinary" Such is the pos
ition of this we'll known funeral
director in the professional world of
this part of the country.
During the time that he has
been identified with the professional
life of the community he has kept
in touch with all that is new and pro-
gressive not only in the way of equip
ment, but is thoroughly abreast of
the times relative to the latest scient-
ific ideas on embalming. Through
professional work of the highest ord
er he has merited the success he has
achieved, for, as is generally known,
he has conducted some of
Beverly banner., 1925-10-09

the largest funerals Of this section Of
the state most satisfactorily and con-
scientiously. Courteous and efficient
to a marked degree, he has won
the confidence and heartfelt COM
mendation Of many clients who have
found great satisfaction in being re-
lieved of the many troublesome and
vexatious details in the time of sor-
row, by reason of his comprehensive
and diplomatic service.
His outside equipment includes
the most stately of auto hearses and
ambulance, suitable closed cars and
limousines for the conduct of any
funeral, no matter how large or how
far distant.
1t is quite proper that in this edi-
tion we give prominent mention to
this progressive professional man
on the success he has attained and
the very commendable and satisfac-
tory service that he is rendering
to his increasing clientele.

Experience and reliability are two
things that count most when it
comes to dealing in real estate; ex-
perience in local conditions as to ac-
tual value and reliability of a
known quantity.
Without these conditions both the
buyer and seller are at the mercy of
the mSn who stands between. 1t
is therefore well to consider such
matters carefully before entering in
to any transactions or agreements.
In this respect no firm stands higher
in the estimation of the public or
is possessed ripper experience
than A. w. Dresser and his organi-
zation.
They devote their attention to both
farm and city properties and the OPP
erations are by no means confined
to town for they have buyers from
all parts of the country who are look
ing for real estate in this community
and they have on their list some very
fine properties in this and other
states. If you are contemplating sell
ing your place and wish to get what
it is worth it will pay you to consult
them. Or if you have some money
which you wish to invest safely, you
will find that they have some proper
ties that are very attractive buys.
Owners in this vicinity who
have not already listed will do well
to list property with them as they
have number Of buyers with cash
wanting to purchase Immediately.

The Zelley Motor Company

models of the Buick does so with the
assurance that Buick has always liv-
ed up to their high standards and are
offering a better automobile, always
keeping ahead of the developments
in the automotive field and being a
leader in world motor circles.
The 1926 improvements in the
mechanical construction are all built
with the famous valve-in-head type
of motor as the basis. The races at
Indianapolis again demonstrated the
great superiority of this type of en-
gine. The new engine has 75-horse
power, oil filter, air cleaner,
wheel brakes, gas filter, balloon tires
and many other re6nements that
make it one of the outstanding de-
velopments of the year.

This IS the day and age when it is
the patriotic duty of every man to
see that he gets a maximum return
from every acre of his land, and in
order to do this it is necessary that
he use modern and scientific methods.
This firm has provided line of the
latest and most scientific seeds and
bulbs for the people of the coun-
try and these are offered at
prices so reasonable as to increase
food production in this part of the
country.
The stock is composed of the very
highest grade of seeds and
purchasing in select quantities and
being discriminating buyer enables
the management to offer these wond-
erful values to the public. The man
agement does not try to make all
of the profit on one sale, but counts
on small profits and large volume
of business.
Planters and farmers of this sec
ton of the state who have used their
seeds only have words of commenda-
tioa for the excellent service they
furnish and the fine results they CO.
tain from the use of their seeds.
The planting of their seeds has re-
snlted in great increase in produc-
ton and as consequence this firm
has become an important factor in
the onward progress and development
of the state. The growing Of the
seeds is in the hands of men of ex-
perience and only the very best
seeds are placed on the market for
the people.
