PRESENT CONSIDERATION
By V. Overstreet

What are you doing in this day of
progress?
We are all living in hope for better
day, perhaps, but are we having our best
time now, my friends You should do as
others have done, forget tn edifferences
of the past time and strengthen that
which is ready to do.
Remember that ones faults are easily
to be found, but the glorious part about
real mans life is that he is able to find
some good even in the worst.
We as life insurance agents are among
the leaders of the colored race. Though
we may be ignorant as some have said,
yet we are yours.
| have been with you here in Laurie
almost one year and do not have to
take ones word as to our condition
here. know conditions as they are.
Colored people, whatever you do, put
aside a few pennies now for yourself.
If you have job stick to it and remem-
ber the word that was spoken. long ago
yet has the same meaning as in time
past "to him that hath shall be given
and from him that hath not shall be ta-
ken even that he hath"
lake pOllcy Tor your own Deneflt
and keep it. If the National Benefit Life
Insurance Company does not meet
your expectations there are others even
here in Laurel.
We want you to pull off those dark
shades which causes you to see the
world so dark and put on the optimis-
tic glasses OF present consideration that
you may look across these bridges of
years and see Ethiopia just as God will
have her be.
Yours for the Work

5 TO HUNT SHARKS
IN 59FOOT BOAT.
Three Men and Two Girls
Will Sail on | 400 Mile Trip
j to Virgin Islands.

Five hardy souls will add their ad-
Ventures to the annals of seafaring
when the motor boat Advance of SO
gross tons casts off Friday from the
harbor police dock, bound for st.
Thomas, Virgin Islands, 1,400 miles
away, in quest of sharks.
The pioneers in the enterprise, seek
3ng live treasure, are the organizers
of the expedition. They are Louis
Erossette Of 1902 Northampton street,
Chevy Chase, former assistant to Her.
bert Hoover: Capt. John Langdon of
the Shipping Board, navigator; Edwin
Bellows of Battleboro. Vt, rancher
and free lance. who will be in charge
of the shark industry when 1t is eStab-
lished on Lovango Bay, near st.
Thomas; William Smith Of Norfolk,
Va, a veteran of the British navy
and freighters. who is the engineer:
Betty Crossette. the 14-year.old
daughter Of the skipper, and her
cousin, June Portage, Il, of Surrey,
England.
Result of Research.
The modern Odyssey was conceived
rs the result of extensive research by
the Department of Commerce, the Bu-
reau of Standards, the Bureau or
Fisheries and Crossette himself. who
has already surveyed his island do
main and shipped the necessary eduip-
ment, in partnership with Edward X.
Dunham OF the Corn Exchange Bank,
New York, and David M. Milton,
young New York lawyer, who recently
married a daughter Of John d. Rookie
feller, jr.
The products of the shark, Chinese
fin soup, leather, oil and meal have
long proved remunerative, but the
profess Of catchirg sharks and the
kindred sawf1sh and swordfish and eX'
tracing their products has not here
tofore been attempted on such large
scale as the project in view.
The Andvance, propelled with a
40-horsepower gasoline engine and
sloop rig auxiliary, SO feet over all,
with 16-foot beam, was purchased two
months ago in Norfolk, in order to
furnish transportation for supplies
and labor from Smith Bay. St.
Thomas. to the neighboring islet of
Iovango. which Crossett has selected
as his base Of operation; hence the
distant cruise of the argosy.
Expect to Sail Week.
They expect to reach their destina-
tion within q week after leaving Old
Point Comfort. Va, where they will
put in for supplies before tackling
1892 miles of open sea in their tiny
boat. The Advance, which is com
modiously fitted up both above deck
and below, will carry 1000 gallons
of gasoline as fuel for the main engine
and electric light, pumping and re.
frigerating auxiliaries: 800 gallons of
drinking water; months provisions,
and piano lashed securely to the
cabin deck. which gives her a FIVE
foot draught and a sixfoot freeboard.

TRAVELLING FUNDS CUT.

The desire to improve their knowl-
edge Of modern city government by
attending conventions and making in
spection trips was so great in the
minds Of nearly all District officials
that the Commissioners received re-
quests under the present appropria-
ton act for travelling allowances ag-
gregating $2,S19. with an appropria-
ton from Congress for this purpose
Of only $1,000.
The requests ranged from $40 for
the inspector Of plumbing to $535 for
the insurance department, to attend
insurance conventions in the West.
Being unable to exceed the limit Of
$1,000 fixed by Congress. Auditor
Donovan and Daniel E. Garges, secre.
tary to the Commissioners. trimmed
down the various requests, making
them average about 500 for each de-
partment. The modest sum asked for
by the plumbing inspector was merely
to pay dues in a national organization

setting the figure showing his av-

players came through the IS holes
with net scores Of II each. These
were Burgess, Brakeman, Catlin
and Flint. One member came
through with a 68 but declined to
accept first prize when he found
that he had given himself a high

any other player.
Tuesday morning Catlin, Flint
and Burgess played off their tie,

Another nine holes were
played by Burgess and Catlin

NO DIVISIONS BETWEEN
WILLISTON AND HAYRE

In accordance with an order is
sued by the Great Northern Di-
vision officials, effective July 1S,
the crews of through freight
trains now change at Glasgow.
This affects about fourteen crews.
Some of these families of married
trainmen are moving to Glasgow.
In other cases, especially those
who own homes in this city, will.
keep their residence here for the
present.
The crews of local frieghts will
continue to change at Wolf Point
which will require a much reduced
round house force. The crews of
through passenger trains have for
some time been running between
Havre and Williston without
change. The new order completes
the plan of the Great Northern
to carry out a policy of reduced
operating expense by means of
longer runs and eliminates divis-
ion points except as to local trains
between Williston and Havre. 1t
has been known for several months
that this change eventually would
be made.

WHERE is LEE?

The inhabitants of this city have
been greatly disturbed the last
few days because Lee hasn't
shown up. They IRE uncertain as
to just who he is but they have
reason to worry because he left
one of the finest looking pairs of
overalls ever seen in Montana,
hanging on a pole across the side
walk of Main street. Coincident-
ally they are in front of the Globe
but that is only a coincidence, I'M
less John Cook is concealing his
identity under the name of Lee,
and we can't see any reason why
such a genial citizen as John
should want to hide his identity.
In the meantime Lees overalls
continue to wave in the gentle
prairie breezes and all Wolf Point
ers are wondering how Lee is man
to get along without such
fine pair Of overalls.
