A COLLEGE EDUCATION

The season is st hani WHEN tn
r. tc-s~ ~ al IN, TO &c
torrline ether !. W - 3 7ort-
their while to attend the College of
Agriculture or the School of Agricul-
ture during the coming winter. An
education at one of these institutions
will not make successful farmer out
of every young man who attends such
an institution, but any boy who has
the right stuff in him will be greatly
improved by spending the winter
months for three or four years at an
educational institution of this kind.
1t is true that many farmers have
made phenomenal success without
any advance college education but it
is reasonable to assume that these
farmers would have made even more
phenomenal success had they had an
education. Certainly the man who
attempts to farm under the present
conditions is working upder handi-
cap if he does not understand the
chemical analysis of the soil, some
thing of the use of various CONNER
cial fertilizers, and something of the
chemical elements of different food
stuffs, and the effect of these various
on the livestock to which
they are fed.
It is our opinion that while agri-
culture at the present time is not as
profitable as some other lines of bust
ness that it will soon regain its posi-
ton as one Of the most remunera-
tive as we'll as one Of the most dig
nified professions, and that any boy
who loves the farm should stick to it
and make whatever sacrifice is nee
essary to secure some technical train
ing along agricultural lines. Our
agricultural colleges and agricultur-
al schools offer him a splendid op-
portunity to acquire such training

new ROAD PROPOSED
In NORTH COUNTRY

A group of interested farmers
residing on the Powder River
Trail were in Wolf Point We'd
nesday in the interests of a new
road which they wish constructed.
The proposed road will be straight
north along the old Powder River
trail. 1t will be d graded road.
The interested parties feel that
such road is necessary to the
proper development of the section
of the country in which they re-
side. County officials have as
yet reached no definite decision
in regard to the matter.
Mr.. Hulse of the bureau of pub
lie roads and Archie Mann, district
engineer of the state highway
commission, called at the county
surveyors office this week to look
over proposed road projects in
this county for 1926.

LANARK FOLKS BUILD LARGE
COMMUNITY HALL THIS MONTH
Pair Of Popular Poplar
Newly-Weds Escape

Although it is still January
Claude Carpenter and his bride,

the proverbial "march' on their

best of the story is that it was
a wedding march. The event oc-
Cured at the home of the brides

that something (quite within the
dry law was brewing among the
many enthusiastic friends of the
popular couple. But they did not

FINE COOPERATION AMONG
FARMERS AND TOWN MEN
MAKE QUICK JOB

Six hundred people turned out
in the Lanark community to helF
celebrate the dedication Of THEN
new community hall that was re-
Gently constructed by local far
mers with the financial assistance
of some of the business men of
both Culbertson and Bainville.
When the building was COM
pleted on the End of January it
was thought that t would be
amply large to take care of the
congested condition that prevail
ed when meetings were held in
the Lanark schoolhouse where the
space was so limited that it was
almost impossible to hold sue
cessful meeting. The new build
ing was constructed with floor
space of 1900 feet and was
thought to be amply large to take
care of all future needs of the
community. However, on the oc-
casion of the dedication and first
community entertainment held af
ter the dedication, it was found to
be too small to accommodate the
large number of people who were
attracted to the Lanark gather
ings.
Good Team Work
The building of the Lanark
Community hall is undoubtedly
one Of the finest pieces of COM
cooperation in Roosevelt
and the officers of the
community consisting of Chas. G.
James Swindle, D. S.
Nelson, H. C. Bjorge, Floyd
Moothart, Forest Peterson and
John Forsyth together with those
farmers who cooperated with
them are to be congratulated on
this fine piece of work.
At a community meeting held
the early part of December it was
decided to build community hall;
a committee was appointed to
make the plans, determine cost
and ways and means. A week
later this committee met and gave
it's report; three days later $1,000
was raised by farmers and bust
ness men Of adjoining towns on a
stock basis; three days following
that lumber started rolling into
Lanark. After the lumber was
hauled all farmers of the com
munity turned out and under the
of hired carpenter
in eight days following the time
the first lumber landed a com
munity building was completed
and dedication took place on Jan
uary 9th.

FORESTER TALKS
CONSERVATION
LECTURE BEFORE
STUDENTS AND ADULTS
AT SCHOOL

P. j. O'Brien, representing the
Missoula office of the United
States Forest service, visited the
city the first of the week in the
interest of trees and their pro-
duction and care. Monday after
noon at the high school gymnas-
ium he gave an illustrated lee
ture on trees and forests and their
care and conservation to a large
audience made up Of high school
and grade students and a few
adults. Mr.. O'Brien came as a
substitute for Theo. Shoemaker
who was detained by sickness.
At the beginning of his talk Mr.
O'Brien gave few minutes to
shelter belts and groves and their
great value on prairie farms. Sew
eral slides furnished by D. B.
Noble, county agent, of shelters
on Roosevelt county farms, nicely
illustrated the points made.
Club The First Invention
In introducing his general sub
ject the speaker touched briefly
on the primitive condition of
man. The beasts of the forests
reigned supreme and lowly man
took back seat at the edge of
the wood where he defended him
self with his bare hands as best
he could. Then he learned to
break limbs from the trees and
fit them into clubs that gained
him greater degree of respect
from his fierce enemies. Dis
coveries and inventions in wood
en- aids to progress multiplied, one
suggesting another. Finally the
principle Of the wheel was born
in some mind-a crude thing con-
trived from sections of logs. 1t
was probably the greatest inven-
ton ever made, said the speaker,
and from then the progress of
man was far more rapid.

KARRAS AND ALLEY
WRESTLE WEDNESDAY

The wrestling fans of Wolf
Point and surrounding communi-
ties will be treated to big eve
ning's entertainment next We'd
nesday night when Gust Karras,
heavy weight wrestler of Chey-
enne, Wyoming, meets Tom Alley,
light heavy weight champion of
Montana at the Liberty theatre,
at about 9:20 p. m. Karras will
have Alley outweighed by ten
pounds. He reports himself in
good shape. He is fast, strong and
scientific and a master of the
famous deadlock. 1t will be a bat
tie from the word go as both
wrestlers are confident of victory.
Stanley Buresh has challenged
the winner but it is not likely that
Wolf Point will get the match.
Charles Hauge has offered to
guarantee five hundred dollar
purse to the winner but he has
been unable to get the contract
signed. A match between Alley
and Buresh would undoubtedly
draw the largest crowd that ever
attended a match here as public
sentiment is about equally divid-
ed. Word comes from Sheridan
county that they will back Alley
against Stanley Buresh, from 81

PERFORM

"SETS" COVER 60 ACRE s
100000 FEET OF
FILM USED

The enormous amount of mon
ey and material used in making
a big film spectacle is illustrated
in the case of "Scaramouche, "
Rex Ingram's production for
Metro of Rafael Sabatini's story of
the French Revolution, which is
coming on Thursday-Friday to the
Liberty theatre for 2 days.
"Scaramouche" easily exposed as
much raw film as "The Four
Horsemen," which held the re-
cord for some time. More than
100000 feet of film was used
during the shooting" of the pic
ture.
Cost Enormous
The amount of raw film con
sumed, however, is only one item
in the cost Of producing pictures
of any size. The actual "shoot-
ing" process is not the chief eX-
pensa, what is "shot" makes the
debit side Of the ledger mount up.
The biggest item was the con-
struction Of sets representing the
palace Of the Tuilleries, an old
chateau and city streets of the
France of 1889. Kennels. pens,
stables and cages had to be built
for dogs, pigeons, ducks, cats,
oxen, horses, canaries, peacocks
and other birds and animals. Car
riages and coaches had to be con-
structed with perfect historical
accuracy. Costumes had to be
made for the 10000 persons who
appeared in the mob scenes. There
were uniforms for the soldiery,
and outfits of especial magnif-
cence for players representing the
nobility.

MODIFIES COURT
MARTIAL TERMS
PRESIDENT SAYS COLONEL
MITCHELL SHALL GET
ALLOWANCES

Washington, Jan. 25.-Offcial
announcement was made late to-
day at the White House that Pres
ident Coolidge had modified the
court martial sentence of Colo
mel William Mitchell.
The fve-year suspension from
military service was approved but
the president ruled that Mitchell
should receive all his allowances
and one-half pay during the per-
iod.
In the event the officer, whose
vigorous criticisms of the army
and navy air service administra-
tions aroused strong opposition
among officials and finally led to
his trial for insubordination,
should submit a resignation, it is
virtually certain that the war de-
partment would recommend that
it be accepted by the president
for "the good of the SERVICE" de-
spite that such action would au-
tomatically commute the five-year
sentence and give Colonel Mitch
ell a complete civilian status.
Reduction Asked
Secretary Davis letter trans

oartment board of reviews, while

Ire and verdict Of the court on
Ill legal grounds, recommended
hat the forfeiture included in the

bird of monthly pay during the

Major General John A. Hull,

ny, concurred in this recommen-
alton and the secretary stated

COURT
PETE COURCHENE FREE OF
MURDER CHARGE-WEST-
LAND MATTER

Peter Courchene of Culbertson
was freed of a first degree mur-
der charge Wednesday at law and
motion day sessions presided over
by Judge S. E. Paul Courchene
had been held in the county jail
in connection with the shooting
of "Peg" Norby in the streets
of Culbertson, about four months
ago. There was no eye witness
to the shooting. After the arrest
the county attorney conducted a
thorough investigation of the af-
fair. The result of this investi-
CATION was the filing of motion
asking the dismissal of the case
due to lack of evidence.
Rearrested
Charges were then filed against
Courchene for carrying concealed
weapons and he was given sem
tence of six months in jail on this
charge. The time he has spent
IN jail since the first arrest will
apply on the sentence which
means that actually he will spend
about two months in Jail.
The Circumstances
According to testimony at the
inquest over Norby's body, Cour-
,hene and Norby had both been
on the night of the
shooting, but had apparently been
on friendly terms. Guests at the
New Evans hotel, Culbertson, were
awakened shortly after midnight
by three shots. Peg Norby was
found lying in the street mortal

fragments of the skeleton of some
animal whose species is still un-
