Being MIXED
FOR GOPHER PESTS

The gopher poison for the pres

basement of the courthouse by j.
M. Dunbar a Lanark farmer, as
sisted by E. E. Baker of Poplar.
Three hundred bushels of oats
will be poisoned and put up in
bags of five or six pounds each.
The formula calls for an exact
procedure that is interesting to
observe.
Eight ingredients are used,
strychnine, saccharine, soda, salt,
syrup, starch, %glycerine and wa
ter. These give the oats a coat
ing that is not removed by an ord
mary rain and is very attractive
to the rodent pests. The mater
ials are mixed and cooked over
an oil stove and poured over a
heap of oats which is thoroughly
shoveled until all are moistened.
The bags are distributed to num-
distributing stations in all
parts of the county.

BOYS DEFEAT
C~ULBERTSON, 22-l2

In the last basketball game be-
fore the Northeastern Montana
district tournament opens the
Wolves basketball team from the
local high school defeated Culbert-
son, Friday evening, % to IL. The
superior goal shooting of the
Wolves and faster team work on
their part was evident from the
start of the game. They had
things pretty much their own way
the entire game and Culbertson
never approached the Wolf Point
score. The nearest they came to
evening up the score was in the
last quarter but the Wolves
checked their attempts before any
serious damage was done. The
Wolves used their regular lineup
with the exception of Charles
Rathert who has been i'll with flu
and was not strong enough to en-
ter the game. Dick Busby was an
efficient referee for the game.
The Culbertson lineup was
Hagen and Evans, forwards James,
center; Anklan and Manning,
guards. Coach William Bowers
of Culbertson accompanied the
boys.
A preliminary between the
eighth grade and the high school
freshman teams provided fun for
the school children, preceding the
main game.
The Orchestral Club furnished
music for dancing after the game.
A handful of rooters from Gull
bertson we're present and did their
share to support their team.

reaching Minot and undergoing
operations Mr.. Bjorgen suffered
almost unbearable pain. He says
that the operations themselves

the dressing of the wound which
revealed that the eye had been 50
badly cut that it could not be
saved. The Jagged glass that flew
into his eye penetrated the ball
completely.
The second operation was the

when the proper time arrives an
eye will be substituted
for the natural organ. Mr..
Bjorgen has resumed his duties
