In a game characterized by
many of the basketball fans as
one of the best they had ever
seen Wolf Point defeated Cul-
bertson in the high school gym

score all through the game was

of the time and the Wolves fight

ALLEY WINS in
TOUGH BATTLE
HOUSE, GIVING TOM STRUG.
GLE OF HIS LIFE, LOSES
IN ONE-FALL BOUT

After one hour and 43 minutes
of sensational work on the mad
Tom Alley pinned Elwood House
for the only fall accomplished In
the Wednesday night wrestling
match at the Liberty theatre. In
the remaining % minutes, of the
legal time limit of two hours and
six minutes, House struggled fu-
tilely to even the score, with Alley
working largely on the defensive.
The match was as even and the
work of the grapplers as fast and
classy as has been seen IN any
of the numerous matches held
here. An extra big house wit
messed the exhibition and all COM
ment heard was to the effect that
the fans got their moneys worth.
Youth Was Served
Furnishing holds were tried by
both men but the match was
clean. Alley won his fall with
what appeared to be head and
arm lock. Elwood's weight was
announced as 100 pounds and
Toms as 18O. Toms advantage inI
age more than made up the diff
ference in weight and when the
decisive period came it was plain
that endurance was the telling fac
tor. For more than an hour
House stood the pace and the gaff
seemingly as well or better than
his youthful opponent, but when
he began to weaken he faded fast.
A succession of head locks, he ap-
peared powerless to avoid, wore
him down to where Alley was
master of the situation.
Second Session Even
After the rest following the
first fall both came back to the
mat in good condition although
their work was not as fast as be-
fore. Many expected Tom to win
an easy second fall but while he
5ried he took no long chances and
played the defense much of the
time. 1t was a winner take all
match and his one fall assured
1im of the decision at the hands
IF the referee, Paul Thorn.

YEARLY BUSINESS SESSION
COMMERCIAL BODY TAKES
UP PHONE PROJECT

A good attendance of represen-
ta.ive members of the CONNER
cial club of Wolf Point respond
ed to the call Of the secretary for
the annual business meeting Wed
nesday evening. The meeting was
held at the Sherman hotel. In
the absence of President Sever
son, VicePresident Marshall pre-
sided. Although the meeting was
called for the special purpose of
electing officers for the present
year, the Vida telephone project
was considered to be of such i'm
mediate and vital Importance that
it was taken up and carefully con-
sidered first.
Expert Advice
In connection with this busi-
ness H. A. Bisbee, district super
inItendent of the Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, B. A. Barickman, local man
aeer for that company, and Paul
Fay of Vida, were present at the
meeting. Mr.. Bisbee and Mr..
Barickman furnished data on the
cost of materials to serve as a
basis on which to estimate the
cost of a two-wire toll line from
Wolf Point to Vida. Mr.. Bisbee
numerous questions
with reference to the best type
of line and system of service for
the proposed project. He describ-
ed in detail the different types
that might be adopted but said
that from the experience of his
company he deemed a toll line
straight through to Vida the most
advisable as it would give the
best service and satisfaction.
Ready To Aid
Mr.. Bisbee made it clear that

erial but was glad to advise the
ocal people where materials
ould be purchased and stood
eady to cooperate and assist in

Five Men And Trainer
Care For Wild Horse

How many men are required to
take care of a fine horse? In
normal circumstances in a mil
lionaire's stables, the best horses
can be taken care of with a very
small number of men and given
all the training and exercise they
need. One man per horse is ex-
travagant.
But Rex, the wild horse star
ring in sBlack Cyclone" show
ing Thursday and Friday at the
Liberty Theatre, is different. To
begin with Rex, the horse that
Hal Roach took out of locked
stall in Colorado, where he was
chained and regarded as unman-
ageable after he had killed one
man and severely injured anoth-
err. isn't the regular domesticated
type by long shot. He is still
in spirit, the king of wild horses.
He was born and raised in wild
herd and doesn't adapt hmself
readily to haphazard contact with
human beings.
Carl Morrison, horse trainer
ali his life, handles Rex exclusive
ly SO far as actual instruction and
training go. But with him he has
five assistants who divide thei
time between the care Of Rex ano
the care of Lady, his leading we
man in "Black Cyclone" It's z
big staf-but the results more
than justify the expense.

COUNTY AGRICULTURAL MENTOR
REVIEWS PROGRESS OF THE YEAR


Nineteen twenty-five has beer
9 year marked by a nun1ter Of
outstanding accomplishments by
farmers and farm communities
who have followed a progressive
program of work as indicated by
an analysis of every community
in the county which was taken
this past month. Never before in
Roosevelt county has there been
manifested such a keen desire
for progressive practices based on
good sound experience facts
which are the yardsticG of pro
gress not only in a farming pro-
gram but in industrial activities
as well. A countrywide progress
sive program adopted this year
included four major projects to-
gether with a large number of
smaller undertakings, all of which
produced some very remarkable
results inasmuch as the entire pro-
gram was based on the emphasis
of raising a higher quality pro-
duct at a lower cost chiefly with
the idea of developing the means
of creating the pleasures of life
which go toward increased living
Stress Projects
With this idea in mind and af-
ter analysis of the situation based
on all the facts obtainable the
County Executive Com
mittee of the Farm Bureau re-
commended that definite empha-
sis be placed on the following
projects. A campaign to increase
the quality of the main cash crop
by encouraging the adoption of
Marquis wheat from registered
and approved source, a large sup
ply of which through the CROP
standardization program had been
Quilt up in the county; second,
/ systematic campaign against
Wild oats and fanweed both of
which were greatly increasing pro-
iuction costs by cutting down
acre yields; the third project was
20 focus more attention towards
lefnite things which would in
,rease living standards and add
in community content
nent and community develop
nent. This was attacked from
he home Identification andl
through the encouragement of the
development Of tree plantings by
he use Of the latter approved
methods. The fourth major pro-
ect was to make an analysis of
number Of farms and farm COM
with the idea Of gettingI
experience records that will be Of
sraat Importance in further
developing an efficient progress
i've program Of work.

that it was not hard Shedding to
push tie adoptia.- >sf such pro-
gram especially inasmuch as a
number of registered growers and
approved growers in the county
had been producing Marquis wheat
for a few years and had built up
good supply of the highest
quality of seed obtainable. The
community survey as recently
completed which was conducted
in a number of communities in
the county showed that rs per
cent of the farmers were either
using seed from this source or
planned on planting it for next
years crop which means that 10
per cent increase in yield and
quality using the most conserva-
tive recorded data for the 10000
acres which produced better than
1,250,000 bushels Of wheat in
1925.
Crop Robbers
Where wild oats had been
creeping into the farming sys-
tenn especially in the eastern por-
ton of the county and had been
a serious factor in cutting down
acre income made the campaign
outlined on definite successful
control methods very popular
with the farmers who contendedI
with these crop-robbing weeds.
That, together with the fact that
a large amount of recommended
data has been collected on CROP
and tillage methods were
instrumental in getting the far
communities and individual far
mers 10 give these control meas
ures serious consideration. AS a
result Of this campaign together
with the hearty cooperation Of
practically all farmers in the
county, there has been a great
deal of determination manifested
towards definite control methods.
This was especially proven in the
community rating analysis by the
arge amount of summer tiled
acreage and the plans Of farmers
N the older communities to de-
5elop rotation which not only
we're valuable in weed control
but building up soil fiber as well.
Some communities showed as
ligh as one-third of their cash
;rop acreage in summer titled
and which was the highest stand
ard found in the county with prac-
-ically all other communities
building their program with that
goal in mind. This program viii

cutting down production costs
