IT'S CERTAINLY HARD TO
UNDERSTAND SOME FOLKS

According to the edicts issued up to date, the
residents of Wolf Point, those who are called here
by business and those who for pleasure or trav
el, will be humping the bumps Of Main street, or
wading its mud indefinitely possibly from now on:
through variety. The bumps and jumps periodically
will be moved from place to place Cat the expense Of
the whole cityl to furnish drivers of horse or gas
propelled vehicles surprises and to challenge the
skill Of drivers and the endurance of passengers.
But the condition will not be without advantages
TO garages, blacksrniths and physicians Neither
will it be be without entertainment to those pleas
ure bent. Tourists leaving the state highway and
hraving the passage Of the Missouri brakes through
Wolf Point (seat of government and largest city in
Roosevelt county, Montana) will naturally, as their
Lizzie goat nimbly leaps from peak to peak, burst
into songZperhaps a paraphrase of that we'll known
ballad "Old Mcdonald Had A Farm" The opening
lines might run:

Frazer-WoIf Point Road
Contract Let May IS

The District State Highway En-
gineer and Resident Engineer
Scott Hart of Poplar were in
Glasgow this week comforting

sioners of Valley county. They
advise that the new federal aid
project road from Frazer to the

line to Wolf Point will be let on
the 18th or 10Th Of this month.
The news that work is to start on
this project this year viii be vel
come to the residents Of Roose-
welt and Valley counties. The
proposed new highway will pro
vide a gravelled road over what is
considered to be the worst portion
of the Roosevelt trail between
Minot and the mountains.-Glas-

Volunteers Needed
For Cleanup Work

The Boy Scouts will devote a
part Of Saturday, May Is to
clearing the Old cemetery and
Greenwood cemetery Of the dry
grass, weeds and rubbish that
have accumulated. The task is
no light one and some of the wo-
men of the city have volunteered
to aid the Scouts. All who will
be kind enough to join the clean
up brigade will be very welcome.
If possible enlist a car and take
out a party with rakes and other
tools that might prove useful and
go to Greenwood by two o'clock
p. m. The Scout forces will be
divided between the two cene-
teries.
This work is highly necessary by
way of preparation for Memorial
Day. Who will help?

CROP REPORTS
ARE EXCELLENT
GENERAL CONDITIONS ARE
PROMISING IN GRAIN
COUNTIES

Helena.-Although dry weather
continued until the close of last
week in, some north central, ex-
treme northeastern and eastern
counties, according to reports re
ceived by the U. S. and State de-
partments of agriculture, mois-
ture came to most Of this area
by Monday morning, bringing a
definite relief to the dry surface
conditions that prevailed in the
state.
No material damage that can
not be corrected by normal
amount of May and June precipi-
tation has been sustained by Mon
tana's spring grain crops in the
opinion of state department Off
cials. The new moisture will re-
store winter wheat plants that
were weakened by drouth and was
generally needed to start spring
grain seedlings. 1t is expected that
grass crops viii improve rapidly
with the more favorable moisture
situation. While the bulk of the
inter-tilled crops such as corn,
beans, and potatoes are still to be
planted in the state at large, the
recent moisture will provide bet
ter soil preparation and seed beds
for these spring crops.
While it is yet too early to pre-
dict the outcome of most of Mon
tana's crops, state department Of
fcials point out the fact that the
favorable early start Of seeding
and planting followed by timely
rains, makes the present outlook
comparable with those of past fav-
orable seasons.
As affecting lambing and calf
crops the rains came mostly after
the bulk of lambing was over and
unless accompanied by much low
er temperatures than are noted to
date, they are not expected to be
detrimental to the livestock indus
try. On the other hand, stockmen
generally will welcome the rains
as improving range feed.
County agents in Prairie, Teton,
Sheridan and Daniels reported mo-
moisture to the Montana Exten-
sion Service in those counties un-
til Saturday night, but Mondays

SCHLAPS WILL
PLEAD MAY 26
.ARRAICNED THURS, NOUN
APPOINTED ATTORNEY,
SIGNS CONFESSION

Ferdinand Schlaps, the IS year
old youth who is charged with the
murder of Anton Geisler and his
wife. Ludmilla Geisler, was ar
raigned in district court Thurs
day at 10 o'clock a. m. After
the information had been read
Judge S. E. Paul asked the de-
fendant if he was the person
named in the charge to which he
replied in the affirmative. The
court asked him if he had an at
torney. He said he had not. He
was then asked by the court if
he desired the services Of an at
torney and he said he did. The
court announced that an attorney
would be appointed to defend
Schlaps, and instructed the sher-
if to take the prisoner back to
the county Jail.
Hearing May 26
Later in the day Judge Paul
appointed Eric Noun of Poplar
as attorney for Schlaps, who was
again brought into court. Attor-
ney Noun asked for the time al
lowed by statute in which to en-
ter a plea. The court set May
26, the date of the next session
of district court, as the time for
a hearing. 1t is not known what
defense will be set up but it is
understood that a trial by jury
will be demanded.
Signs Confession
Schlaps was taken to the of
flee Of County Attorney Hugh N.
Marion Wednesday where in the
presence of the prosecutor and
three other witnesses he made a
confession that was taken down in
writing and which covered and
corroborated in all essentials the
oral confessions already made to
county officials. This Schlaps
signed and swore to in the pres
ence Of the witnesses. He signed
his name in angular but legible
hand. FTe spelled his name Ferti-
nand Schlaps.
Officials were kept busy an
swering phone calls Wednesday
and Thursday from people who
wanted information on when the
"trial'S was to be held. Quite a
few from the country were among
the crowd at and near the court
house.

GLORIA PLUS HER
GORGEOUS GOWNS

Not even in the days of her
earliest screen triumphs, when
Gloria Swanson's appeal as film
player was considered by many to
be chiefly sartorial, has. the Para
mount star worn as many beauti-
ful costumes as she displays in her
new picture, "The Untamed Lady, I"
which Frank Tuttle directed from
an original story by Fannie Hurst.
Of chief interest are the eve
ming dresses, three in number, two
of which employ the ever-popular
white, the third being made of
gray satin, with a front Of white
crepe georgette.
Evening Gowns De Luxe
The first of these gowns for for
NAL wear is of white and silver,
embellished with crystal and silver
beads, and bound with a wide hip
sash that resembles a gypsy girdle.
The second is fashioned Of white
satin embroidered in gold, with
appliques of gold metal. Two drap-
cries in the back form a graceful
train. With these Miss Swanson
wears a wrap of white velvet lux
uriously furred with white fox.
Distinctive Suits
Then there are three suits, each
novel and distinctive in its own
way. One is made of chamois skin
and trimmed with summer ermine.
A muff of the ermine, and hat
of chamois complete this costume.
White kidskin lined with white
ermine makes a suit of extreme
loveliness. The hat is also of the
kidskin, and blouse of white
satin is worn beneath the jacket.
The vogue for the ensemble is
taken into consideration by Miss
Swanson, and is charmingly exem-
plifed in a dress of novel stripe
alternating gray and light blue
stripes of considerable width
and trimmed with silver buttons.
The "Untamed Lady, is the
headline feature of next Thurs
days bill at the Liberty theatre.

HINSDALE FARMERS
QUARREL, ONE SHOT

Mike Dewitt, a farmer residing
% miles north Of Hinsdale, was
shot and instantly killed yesterday
THURSDAY, May 81, shortly after
loon, by M, E. Davis, a farmer
of the same neighborhood. The
shooting occurred at the Dewitt
farm. Neighbors who witnessed
the affair telephoned officials at
Glasgow and Sheriff Rogers and
Coroner Peterson answered the
call, arriving at the Dewitt place
after dark. Davis calmly surren-
iered and the body of Dewitt was
brought to the morgue at Glas-
gov, where an inquest will be
held.
There were several witnesses to
the shooting, among them being
Devitt's wife, Sarah Ada Dewitt,
with whom he had not been living
for some time, it is said. The re-
cords of the district court show
that Mrs. Dewitt had filed a COM
plant in divorce against her hus-
band on February 9.
Dewitt, it is understood from
the meagre details available, had
been farming a neighboring place,
and with hired man had gone
to the home farm to get a gang
olow. Mrs. Dewitt objected to his
taking the implement, it is said,
to whose arguments he paid no at
-ention. Whereupon Davis, who
was a caller at the farm, shot De-
Witt with a rifle. The bullet, a
;oft-nosed 80, penetrated the left
arm just below the shoulder, en-
erred the chest and severed the
lorta just above the heart, pierc-
ID the two lungs and, leaving the
light side of the chest, lodged in
he flesh of the right arm, about
,even inches below the shoulder.
When Devitt's body was discov-
,red by the officers it lay face
lown across rifle of $3.50
,alibre. His hands were encased
n heavy gloves and mittens.
Coroner Peterson called coro-
ler's jury which viewed the body
friday afternoon. An inquest will
oe held later.
Both Dewitt and Davis are men
above 20 years of age.-Glasgow
Times.

Southside Home OF
George Maloy Burns

Fire originating in a smoke
house destroyed practically all
the buildings, part of the stock
and most of the farm machinery
on the George Maloy home in the
Plain View neighborhood on the
Southside, last Thursday after
noon. Before starting to town in
the morning Mr.. Maloy started a
fire in the smoke house where he
was making preparations to smoke
meat. During his absence a strong
wind came up from the north and
caught the sides of the building
Mrs. Maloy was alone on the place
at the time and there was little
she could do to stop the flames.
The strong wind blew them from
building to building.
The granary was the only
building which was not destroyed.
In addition to the buildings the
Maloy automobile, a saddle pony,
engines, grain grinder, 3 calves,
grain wagon, all household furni-
ture and a radio were burned.
The Maloy home was a well
building of logs. 1t
is believed that no insurance was
carried on it. Mr.. Maloy is plan
ming on rebuilding his place as
fast as he can make arrangements
for the material.
