BACK TO WILLISTON

Local officials faced an unus.
ual and peculiar problem thi;
week when they stored a stoler
Ford found upon the streets OF
Wolf Point only to discover that
smother thief had stolen parts from
he stolen car.
The circumstances of the case
are that it was reported to the
heriff's office that a seemingly
pew Ford runabout was parked
on a back street and had been
setting there for several days. The
report was made last Tuesday and
the a had been setting there
eince the Saturday before. The
officials examined the car and saw
that it was in good condition, had
only been run a few miles and that
all the accessories were there.
They checked the number and
discovered that it was reported
tolen from a party in Williston.
So they wired the Williston police.
and then stored it in a building

looking person that had entered her
uiny snop. The lady had been there
before and had purchased a great
assortment OF chiffon lampshades,
cushions and taffeta b~edspreads.
Mrs. Bradshaw beamed upon Fan
ny with her most engaging smile.
My DEAR" she said, Il have
come down to ask you TO do some
tnlpg Tor me and L hope you are
going to be nice about it. You're
The only person | can ask to do it

were"
A slow smile crept into Fanny's
eyes. To Mrs. Bradshaw it was en-
tIrely ~enigmatical. But she went on
with her proposition.
Miss Burton" continued the So
ciety lady, IF you will join a large
dinner party | am giving Friday
evening and pose as a lady of title
and one of my closest friends-I
will give you II thousand dollars"
Fanny's eyes opened wide, then
closed slightly in keen mental scru-
tiny. She did not, however, permit
herself an answer to the curious
suggestion. Instead, she cast a
glance into a tiny adjoining room in
,thich soft flame curtains were
swaying in the breeze and from
which a glorious odor of coffee was
waited to her.
How sweet of you" said Mrs.
Bradshaw, accepting the unspoken
invitation and she followed the
lithesome Fanny. I'm guilty of
had a secret hope that you
give me a cup of coffee"
When they were seated on oppo-
site sides of a tiny, yellow clad ia

story.

Honest, clean trade. Now, while

and interest of the game. 1t was
not until the third quarter that
the local girls got ahead and then
despite desperate attempts by
Nashua they kept the long end of
the score.
The girls who started the game
were Evelyn Hardie and Margaret
Randall, guards; Vera Smith, cen
ter; Hazel Chapman and Clyta
Cusker, forwards. In the second
half Clyta Cusker was shifted to
center and Una Randall placed at
guard. Ina Herman was put in
at forward.
The members of the Nashua
team were Leila Copeland and
Mary Holtberg, forwards; Gerda
Aaberg, center; Marie Meek and
Florence Copeland, guards. linda
Peterson and Edith Hagen were
substitutes.
A large group of rooters came
up from Nashua with the team and
swelled the large crowd which
filed the gym to overlooking.
Nashua Wins Volley Ball

business men from Wolf Point and
Nashua played a series Of volleyI

And on the Friday evening fol-
lowing, the four guests from the
small town arrived and their conf
plete s%ubjugatiOn and awe by the
simple prefix, Lady, was all that
could be expected. And when Mrs..
Bradshaw, whose husband had been|
"in trade" was affectionately adj
dressed by Lady Fanny as "Alice.|
darling" they knew that to the end|
of their days they, too, would call
her by that intimate terms
But the real surprise of the eve
ming was when a strapping big man
with a slight limp arrived and was
taken in charge straight away by|
his aunt, Mrs. Bradshaw, and intro
duced to the titled guest.
There was a fleeing moment when
the whole world seemed to stand
still and a tremendous silence told
of a great happening.

trembling voice.
Lady Fanny-oh-I can't believe
I'll Not really you?" in a mans
voice that fought for steGdiness.
He turned to the astOnished aunt. |
"Aunt Alice, you never knew why |

'and slipped quietly over here to for

The butler arrived to announce
dinner and Mrs. Bradshaw turnedl
with a smile on her face such as it
had never known and it erased for
ever those other smiles that some
lines had married It.

And all through that memorable

lost genial smile was hard at work.

Future Plans
Plans are being perfected at the
request of different schools, due
to increased interest along these
lines to make the contest an an
nual affair. A large cup will be
offered to the school winning the
highest henors, with gold and sill
yer watch fobs for the two boys
winning the highest individual
honors. Rural schools having
boys of high school age will be in
vited to compete in the contest,
which will, as now, serve as the
means of selecting from each
school boys who are capable of
representing their respective
schools at the judging contest at
which is made possible
through the transportation fur
by the Great Northern
Railway Company. These boys
have also the opportunity to take
the vocational congress at

we'll worth a struggle on the part
If students who are ambitious

Small Attendance
1t was unfortunate that there
was such a short time to advertise
the coming of this display. There
was no chance for a newspaper
story and only a couple of days
in which to advertise by posters.
Not many farmers came to town
this week. But in the curse of
the day quite a total of peo-
pie visited the show which was
displayed in the old Golden Rule
building.
Charts And Photos

the prize grain a decidedly
interesting array of farm charts

Third Round Brief

When he returned for the thir
clash he seemed very groggy an,
after seven minutes Alley pinne'
him with a head lock and the bou
was finished. Until the "accident'
it was a great match with boil
men doing fast spectacular work
as good as ever seen here.
Interviewed the next day Kar

through hard luck. The fall while
not so hard, was unexpected. His
head hit the floor first and he

Alley should not have held to the
ropes. But at the same time he
admitted that there are no rules
of wrestling. So there is no such
thing as time out for injuries.
Debaters on the other side say
the alleged accident was caused
by his own action. He should
have gone to the center when
told by the referee. In the alb
sence Of rules the referees word
is law. Noes work appeared to
be fair at all times. The only
thing that did not look just right
Karras' act in continuing to
5wist Alleys ankle after Moe had
declared a fall and told Gust twice

No Alibies
There was plenty of plainly,
might say bluntly, expressed
'pinions by both sides. But they
lid not settle anything. One
hing is sure-two good men met.

the facts % that there is a keen
desire among farmers of Roose-

base progress; (2) that the rate
of progress that farmers make is
very valuable in its effect in in
creasing earning power and de-
veloping farming communities /;
(3) that community cooperation
organization greatly increases
the rate of progress; az that in
communities where the proper ap-
.lication of progress practices
based on local recorded expert
has increased the earning
power of the farmers by enabling
hem to put the higher quality

With the ex- ception of tall chimney which col- lapsed at Coutainvllle and the break ing of crockery no damage was done. The tremors were accompan- fed at some places with deep rum blings.
