DIR. KLEMME IS
H. S. SPEAKER
WILL. ALSO DELIVER ADDRESS
AT GRADUATION AND AT
MEMORIAL EXERCISES

The outstanding event at the
high school this week is the an
nouncement that DR.. E. J. Klemme.
president of Intermountain Union
College at Helena, will be the
speaker for the commencement
exercises on May 81. DR.. Klemme
will probably also speak at the
Memorial Day exercises and pro-
gram on May 80. The local au-
thorities feel themselves very for
tunate in securing DR.. Klemme
for these occasions. He is a
speaker of brilliant oratorical
ability and is tremendously popu-
lar with audiences where ever he
has spoken.
DR.. Klemme spoke at the high
school assembly with "Mind is
Master" as his subject. He de-
lighted his audience with his
ready wit and his application of
this wit to bring out the more
worthwhile points of his talk.
Members of the eNtemporaneou
speaking class have been giving
talks at assembly this week and
will have their final try outs Mon
day of next week. Those who will
be in the finals are Alfrieda Ha-
gen, William Hide, Tom Delahunt,
and Jean Taylor. At assembly
Tuesday Fred LaRoque delivered
the principal account of the trip
of the stock judging team to Boze-
man. Supplementary talks were
given by John Taylor and Hubert

BY LARGE AUDIENCE

DR.. E. J. Klemme, president of
Intermountain Union College Of
Helena, held packed house spell
bound Friday night when he spoke
here for the first number Of the

From the moment DR.. Klemme
took the platform after his intro
duction by the Rev. c. E. Haynes
until he finished his concluding
sentence he kept his audience en-
tertained with a wealth Of wit
mixed and intermixed with the
spice and philosophy Of a success

subject of his talk. The main
thought brought out was that ev-
cry walk of life, every occupation
or profession has its own stand
ards of education and Of knowl-
edge, that none of us can expect
to learn more than the standards

Four hundred people saw Mon
tana's prize winning exhibits that
stood up in the worlds competi-
ton at the 1925 Chicago Interna-
tional at the towns of Wolf Point,
Poplar and Brockton on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of last week.
Progress meetings were held in
connection with these exhibits and
local illustrations and demonstra-
tion material that had proven to
be the best money-making farm
practices were explained and dem
onstrated at these meetings. The
practices on demonstration which
proved of particular interest to
the farmers who attended these
sessions were the charts and rela-
tive yield bags showing how in
creased earning power could be
affected by adopting standard
methods of summer tillage, crop
Standardization and factors that
are adaptable in cutting down pro-
duction costs.
Experience results of nine years
at Havre checked by four years
in this county were shown in COM
parative form to drive these points
home.
Farm management illustrated
showing the Importance in high
score yield as it affects net income
also was of interest as well as the
charts showing the evolution of
prices and wheat production of
the leading wheat producing
countries of the world and the
competitive factors that enter in
to the production of wheat. The
combination of farm enterprises

On Board S. S. Adriatic, Sun

Perhaps a brief resume of our

WATER SUPPLY
NOW ABUNDANT
NEW CITY WELL PROVES BIG
SUCCESS UNDER TEST
WATER EXCELLENT
First Well OF Kind In State
Supplies 100000 Gallons
In Is Hours Pumping

Construction of the cityls new
Kelly we'll was completed this
week and it was given a severe
test Wednesday and Thursday
that demonstrated it as being all
and more than was expected. 1t
is what is known as a packed"
we'll and proves that this city, and
this bench of the river valley, has
practically inexhaustible sup
ply of good water within lifting
distance of the surface. Fifteen
hours of pumping, during two
days, lifted approximately 450,-
600 gallons of water from the
well. This is about $50 gallons or
6 barrels per capita for the city.
These figures do not represent the
full capacity of the we'll but SIM
ply the rate at which the water
was lifted during the test.
New Pump Needed
The next problem confronting
the Council is a pump of sufficient
to take advantage of the
water resource afforded by the
well. The pumps in the old wells
are far too small. A pump with
of 400 or more gallons
per minute, plus motor and the
other necessary equipment, rep
resent considerable investment.

Terrifying Blizzards Paralyze
NE States-Nine Deaths,
Schools Close

New York, Feb. 1O.-North-
eastern United States, the chosen
battle ground for the elements,
Wednesday lay under two feet of
snow as a result Of the second
blizzard within a week.
Roaring down on the wings of
northeast gales, which piled up
huge drifts on land and rolled up
mountainous waves at sea, the
storm laid fresh covering rang
ing from 10 to Is inches over the
snow blanket left by last Thurs
days blizzard. The drifts ranged
from six to 10 feet in height.
Nine Deaths
Nine deaths as a result of the
storm were reported. Three of
them were in the wreck of the
fishing schooner, Ralph Brown,
near Gloucester, Mass, two in

City, two in Boston, and one in
Philadelphia. Scores of persons
received miner injuries as a re-
suit of street accidents. Railroads

E. c. BJORCEN IS
PAINFULLY INJURED

E. c. Bjorgen, pharmacist at the
Huxsol Drug Store, was painfully
and seriously injured about 2:30
o'clock Tuesday afternoon when
a bottle of solution which he had
been experimenting with at the
drug store exploded. The frag-
ments of glass struck him in one
eye, cutting it so badly that there
is grave danger that he will lose
the sight of that eye. He was ta-
ken to Minot on the evening train
and is now there under the care of
a specialist. He was accompanied
by Mrs. Bjorgen and their little
daughter Jean.
The injured man had been work
ing on an experiment he had read
about in a scientific magazine. 1t
involved a chemical solution which
had been placed in a glass jar.
Moth balls were placed in the jar
and it was sealed. Due to the
chemical reactions the moth balls
were in motion all the time. Mr..
Bjorgen had placed the jar in the
window for an exhibit and notic-
ing that the moth balls ceased to
act he took it into the back room
and was watching it when the jar
exploded with such force that he
says it knocked him against the
wall.
The injury was Of a very pain
full nature and because of the
delicate nature of the injured re-
gion no means to relieve the pain
could be taken until he reached
Minot. At present both eyes are
bandaged and every means is be-
ing taken to save the sight of the
injured eye.

WIN ONE.
GAME, LOSE ONE.
DEFEAT MALTA 81 TO %
DEFEATED BY GLASGOW
COUNT 16 TO 8

The boys basketball team re-
turned Sunday from their trip to
Malta and Glasgow with one vic
tory and one defeat. Friday night
they defeated Malta, 81 to % and
the following night were defeated
by Glasgow 16 to 8.
The boys speak well of the high
school gymnasium floor at Malta
where the game was played saying
it was large with a high ceiling
and an excellent floor in every
way. Ross, athletic coach from
Saco, was the referee and did
good work. The local boys did
some fast playing and received
enough opposition from the Malta
boys to make it an interesting
game in every way. A packed
house watched the game. The
Wolf Point lineup was: forwards,
Keron Chapman and Claud Mich
oil; center, Robert Moore; guards,
Charles Rathert and Tom Barton.
Chapman scored 16 points, Nichol
II, and Moore 4. After the game
the Malta high school girls served
a banquet to the visitors.
Fast team work and better
man-for-man lineup than the
Wolves was responsible for the
Glasgow defeat. Ted Barr, play
ing at center, was the star player
for Glasgow. The same lineup
as at Malta was used by the
Wolves.
Next Friday the Wolves play
on the home floor.
Tournament
The plans for the northeastern
district association tournament
are now being worked out. Fif-
teen tournament games will prob
ably be played. The association
meeting scheduled to be held at
Glasgow last Saturday was can
celled.

Tuesday and Wednesday Wolf Point was host
to the fourth annual convention Of the Westland
Oil Company, officials employees and numerous rep
resentatves of associated concerns In all from so
to 100 people attended the sessions. The Westland
has it's plant and head office at Scobey with service
stations at many points in Montana and North Da-
kota. The company was organized five years ago
and has made remarkable growth, now ranking as
one of the largest in the Northwest.
Brilliant Record
The emphatic success of the Westland company
is credited in large measure to the energy and ex-
ecutive ability of it's president R. j. Coughlin who
with the assistance of able lieutenants, has built a
large and thriving organization from an ordinary
service station as beginning. The company's
brand "Dura' is seen everywhere, placards, road
signs and airplanes in the sky Dura applies to the
company's lubricants and "Red Hat is now the
brand under which it will market gasoline. AS al
member of the Independent Oil Mems Association
of America Westland adopted this brand at the con-
vention this week. So far as the supply will reach
the Westland handles Montana oil products and has
done much to bring their high quality to the atten
ton of the public.

Space Writers Who Describe
Terrors of Montana Winters
Switch Locations

Denver, Feb. 10.-The Indian
and the grounding, looked upon as
weather prophets, are in disgrace
in the Rocky mountain region
where an excess of go degrees has
been registered in the first two
days Of February. Indians last fall
predicted a long, hard winter
while a few days ago the ground
hog emerged from his winter quar-
ters and scurried back with the
threat of six weeks more winter.
Stories to confirm the arrival Of
spring were told in all parts of
the region Wednesday.
Denver, where the temperature
has seldom dropped to freezing
even at night in the past few
weeks, sheds its overcoats in the
day time. Flocks of robins have
been increasing since their first
appearance in the middle of Jan
uary, and Wednesday golf course
was thrown open to the public.
A rancher at Laramie, Wyo.,
drove into town Wednesday to
tell his friends that snow was gone
from the ranges and enroute fill
ed a box with grasshoppers as
proof.
In Great Falls, Mont, big yell
low butterfly, coaxed from its CO.
coon by the April-like sun, attract
ed attention of boys who had put
away useless skates and sleds to
occupy themselves snaring ground
squirrels.
Coast Weather
At Harlowtown, Mont, the
temperature reached 65 Wednes-
day. Even at Havre, where the
mercury is inclined to low winter
levels, it climbed to SO.
At Wolf Point, and all over
northeastern Montana, real spring
weather prevails and has for
weeks. Buds are swelling on the
trees, birds are numerous. The
mud is the only disagreeable fea-
5ure. The whole so-called win
ter, has not produced a storm,
except thunder storms and rain inI
some places last Monday evening.
Winds stronger than delightful
breeze have been rare. Midday
temperatures in the sun Of so tol
70 degrees have frequently been
noted. And this is the second
winter of the kind Montana has
lad in the last five.
Fair and continued warm wealth
n is predicted for the region byl
he weather bureau, which gave
Chinook winds sweeping down the
EASTERN slope Of the Rockies get
.redit for the balmy atmosphere.
