YEARS AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE

Philadelphia, May 31.-A six
months celebration of the 150tb
anniversary of the signing of the
Declaration of independence be-
gins in Philadelphia today with
the opening Of the Sesqui-Cen-
tennial international exposition.
Planned as INSTALLATION of the
spiritual, artistic, industrial, scien-
tifc and economic progress that
has been made in America and
the world during the last $50
years, Mayor Kendrick said it was
his hope that out of the celebra-
ton would come a new declaration
of momentous Importance, "a
declaration of peace on earth,
good will to men,"
During the six months of ex-
position existence, it is estimated
that 30,0O0,0OO persons will visit
the vast area in South Philadel-
phia on which are erected gigan-
tic palaces, housing thousands of
interesting exhibits, and other
places Of amusement and inter-
est.
The opening days program
provided for a score or more in
teresting events, commencing with
the opening ceremonies by the
and ending with huge
fireworks display late in the eve
ming. Most of the events were
scheduled to take place in the
new municipal stadium on the the
grounds. Addresses by
the mayor, Secretary of State
Kellogg and Secretary of Com
merce Hoover, constituted part of
the program.
On the 4th of July President
as well as eminent Of
ficials from every department of
life, will join in the pa
triotic observance which will be,
in the minds of Philadelphians, at
least, the most glorious Of a long
line of GLORIOUS Fourths." Rep
resentatives of practically every
foreign nation will be on hand to

LANGUAGE AT HOTEL

Three hoboes who were in Wolf
Point Tuesday were arrested on
a charge Of vagrancy, after Mrs.
R. J. Moore had entered COM
plant against them. The men
went to the Sherman hotel about

impossible for her to give them
the meals. They threatened
to break down the doors to the
dining room and used abusive

phoned local police officers.
In the meantime the tramps
went to the Herald office and en-
deavored to get work as book

the telephone office, saying they
were linemen in search Of work.
Shortly after they left the phone
office and not far from the Warm
brod residence they were picked
up by Chief of Police Ben Ander-
son, assisted by Frank Bannister.
The three were lodged in Jail on
a charge of vagrancy and brought
before Judge Charles Gordon. At
tering a plea of guilty they were
sentenced to so days in jail, with
the sentence suspended if they
would leave town Immediately,
which they did.
The three men were John
OdelI of Los Angeles, Louis Lor-
gan Of Duluth, Mimi, and Will
liam Christianson of St. Paul,
MINI. One Of them gave his oe-
cupation as cook and one as a
landscape gardener. All three.

OPEN TO YOUTH


Youth and its opportunities, the
Opportunities to adults to assist
Youth, comprised the theme of
the Rev. Sydney A. Walkers in
spring baccalaureate address, Civ

Sunday evening. Taking as his
text the words from Ezekial 28:13
"Thou hast been in Eden, the gar

of opportunity.
He sketched briefly the history
of the Phoenician people who,
$500 years ago, with a country
containing only about 2,400
square miles (about the size of
Roosevelt county,, made the most
of their opportunity for CONNER
cial success, became enormously
rich, world renowned, the seat of
education and culture. They came
to think that the world revolved
around them, became self center
ed, and that was the beginning of
their dissolution.

The INSIDE STORY
OF "THE WANDERER"
(By Jesse Lasky)

1t was several years ago. in Ne

sat in the second row Of the Man
haitian Opera House in New York
awaiting the rise Of the curtain
for the evening performance of
Maurice v. Samuels' stage spec
tacle, "The Wanderer," from the
Biblical parable of the prodigal
son.
During the first five minutes I
my Indifferent atti-
tude. Then the plot started to
unfold. Gradually, as scene af-
ter scene transpired before me,
everything else faded except what
was taking place upon the stage.
Gradually too, the words of the
characters became dim in my ears
and I visuaEzed the spectacle as
a gigantic motion picture.
Enthusiastic

vet bewildered. [ aad just seen
the nucleus Of a marvellous photo
play. But one fear gripped me
One question flared before me-
Was the art Of motion pictures suf-
fciently developed to guarantee
the results the story demanded?
Was the photography vet at a
stage where it could do justice to
a production Of such magnitude
and force? I decided in the mega
tive.
Following a conference the next.
day with other Paramount off
cials, it was decided to purchase.
the motion picture rights to the.
spectacle and hold the production
IN reserve, to await the day when
the art Of motion pictures had adj
vanced to the stage where full
Justice could be done the story.
It was too beautiful theme, too
sacred task to risk failure.

Quality, not quantity" en-
blazoned in the class colors of
black and white across the front
of the stage at the high school
assembly, expressed in larger
way the history of the class of
1926, of the Wolf Point high
school, as they marched through
the hall for the last time as stu
dents of the school and received
the precious diplomas which cer-
tifed the completion Of four years
Of hard work, Monday evening.
Fifteen boys and girls, typical of
the American youth who are 60
ing this month from high schools
all over the land received diplo-
mas. They are typical of the
American youth and yet they are
essentially Montana's own for
they have met and conquered those
particular problems which are to
be met only in Montana and they
have retained that individuality
which is so often noted to
greater extent in the American
youth than in the youth of any
other land.
The assembly hall was packed
when Mrs. E. L. Shipman played
a march as the class entered.
When they were seated in the
places reserved for them the or
chestra gave a prelude number.
The Salutatory
The salutatory was given by
Mss Myrtle Nieman, who during
her four years of high school
work, has received the second
highest average in scholarship.
Another number was given by the
orchestra before the main address
of the evening by the Rev. A. O..
Johnson. During his talk the Rev.
johnson emphasized the need to-
day for trained leadership, intel
lligent thought on world prob
lens, service, training and sta
tbility of character.

150th birthday celebration of the
American republic.
Among the exhibits which are
expected to attract great public
Interest is replica Of George
Washington's ancestral home in
England, Sulgrave Manor. Gener-
al Washington's headquarters at
Trenton is also being reproduced,
in full size and furnished with au-
thentic Washingtoniana.
The exposition in its general
aspect, is a thing of beauty. It
lis a city of towers and of long
sweeping lines. AS in the Pana-
ma-Paeifc exposition Of 1915 col
or will play an important part.
The spacious auditorium seats
10000 persons. The building,
like the main exhibition palaces,
is of steel frame construction ov-
erlaid with roughened stucco
tinted to accord with the other
structures. 1t is 448 feet long
and PA feet wide.
An immense organ has been IN
stalled. A committee of promi-
nent organists furnished the sug-
gestions upon which the plan of
the unique instrument was found
ed. 1t is valued at 100000.
The organ has a width of 100
feet, a depth Of 80 feet and height
of more than As feet. The con-
sole has four manuals and more
than 100 stops. 1t will be move
able so that the organ may be
played as a solo instrument from
the stage, or as an accompany
ing instrument from the orchestra
pit.
The auditorium will be equipped
with loud speakers and the high
est type of broadcasting apparatus.
All large indoor gatherings will be
held there, including number of
concerts, meetings of many or
ganizations, religious services and
a number Of unique entertain
ments.

Interest Is Keen In
Gopher Competition

Gophers! Gophers! Gophers!
Gopher tails slowed away in ev-

come. One boy, Don Nelson, son
Of Emil w. Nelson, a farmer of
Benrud, brought in 3O6 tails.
Floyd Hansen, son Of Russell Han
sen, Of Volt, came in with 202.
Julius Bushman, son of Gabriel
Bushman of the Wolf Point
neighborhood, brought $50 and
numerous boys brought in pack
ages containing about 100 each.
The contest ended May 81 but
tails may be brought in until
June 5, provided they were taken
from gophers slain by the con-
testant in the month of May.
