Big Parade" Approved
BY Great University

For the first time in the history
of motion pictures great univer-
sity has honored a film by pre-
senting it with the cachet of Off
cial approval What makes the
distinction more striking is the
fact that the work chosen above
all others for this honor is no
"high-brow" subject, but a picture
of the widest popular appeal.
Yale has honored "The Big Par
ade," the film which will be at
the Liberty Theatre Nov. 5-6-7,
with the approval of President
Angel and the cordial cooperation
of the secretary of the faculty and

To Children And Parents

With the approach Of Halloween the
Council has thought wise to publish few
words Of suggestion to Wolf Point young
people and their parents Halloween is the
time of frolic and merrymaking, but it should
not be time of wanton destruction OF prop
erty nor the preparation of jokes that will
cause trouble and expense to undo. Let's
play fair this Halloween and look at HalloW-
cen pranks from the other fellow s stand
point Soaping windows, overturning small
buildings, carrying away small articles that
may be left lying around may seem like Jokes,
but such things cause work and sometimes
expense to set right. Parents who uphold
children in such mischief are setting their
feet on the road to lawlessness. Let's have
safe and sane Halloween with plenty OF
harmless fun but no pranks that any Of our
Young people would be ashamed to own up
to.

Orient offers Future Market


The Philippines, China and ia
pan offer a vast potential market
for American-made goods, accord
ing to Senator Wheeler and the
time has come when America is
producing more than she can use,
when our country must look else
where for a market for her goods.
In Europe and in the Orient there
is interest in American-made pro-
duets. people are demanding Amer
ican-made goods. We need not
fear the competition of European
manufacturers for, although work
mems wages in European coun-
tries are but a fraction of the
wages paid American workmen,
the European has not yet master
ed quantity production, and hence
cannot produce goods as cheaply
as thew can be produced in Amer
ica quality considered.

Marcy Lincoln Shrine
Wins Indiana Praise

Indianapolis Edward Jack
son has received communication
from many sources commencing the
state government for taking in hand
the project of erecting a national
shrine at the grave of Nancy Hanks
Lincoln in Spencer county.
A recent letter from the Alliance of
Women's Clubs of Brooklyn, N. Y,
expressed qualification at the move
ment. "We commend you because of
your interest in the erection of a
monument at Lincoln City to Nancy
Hanks, mother of our great Abraham
Lincoln" the letter says He real
lied how much he owed her and the
citizens of the state Of Indiana are
to be congratulated on perpetuating his
sentiments in the erection of this
shrine to her memory"

NEGRO LyNCHED AT POUND GAP
FIRE AT The SILVER
MOON RESTAURANT

Clintwood, Va, Nov. 30,-A
good deal Of excitment was caus
ed here last Monday night, when
the Silver Moon Restaurant mis-
teriously caught on fire, how
ever very little damage was
done.
The cause of the fire is I'M
known, but it is thought that it
was due to the carelessness of
some smoker throwing the butt
of a cigarette or a match in
in some straw in one of the
back rooms. However the fire
did not gian much Roadway I'M
til it was discovered and a lively
bunch of boys and men soon dis
tinguished it.
This is the first fire that Clint
wood has had for some years,
but the crowds have not forgot
how to carry water and ''holler"
fire.

PISTOLS and REVOLVER

It is unusual to speak of any
tax as being received with en-
thusiasm, but such is the case
with the recently created tax
on pistols and revolvers. The
proceeds of that tax will be US
ed for the care of diseased and
crippled children, and the re-
ports from the country and city
tax collectors show that the i'd
ca back of the tax has already
met with sympthy and approx
Ial.
This is certainly not strange
when one conciders as a single
illustration of the work being
done for cripple children, the
annual report of the Capital Di-
strict of Kiwanis International.
Individuals examined 2273
Plasters applied 722
Cases sent to hospital 304
Educational training 10
Visits by nurse 1853
Examinations made 1894
Treatments 1892
Operations performed 365
Vocational training 9
Physiotherapy Clinics "a
Number of pieces of appara-
tus supplied to patients GAL
Mt.
That shows the great need
of the children, the Kiwanis be-
ing only one of many organiza-
lions aiding towards helping
them.
To the public the work poss-
esses always strong appeal. So
after all it is not remarkable
that those who pay it will feel
and offer no objections to the
tax on pistols and revolvers.

COMPETITION IN
Oil. INDUSTRY

From an alleged monopoly in
the hands of a few men IS year
ago, the oil industry has devel-
oped until today it is owned by
so many persons that unrestra-
ined competition has brought
abought a production of crude
oil such as was never dreamed
of.
Our nation passed antitrust
laws to prevent combinations
which might control the indust-
ny to the detriment of small pro
-ducers. In one way these laws
have helped bring about a con-
dltlon more serious than they
overproduction of an exhaust
IDLE natural resource.
1t would be foley to suggest
the repeal of laws which stand
as blwark against unregulat-
ed combinations seeking to CO.
ntroll any great industry, whet-
her it be oil or something else.
But between the extremes of
wasteful competition and COM
blnations in restraint of trade
there must be a middle ground
on which a satisfactory solution
OF the oil question can be work.
ed out.
What the oil industry part
lcularly needs at this time is
cooperation between the produ-
GERS, refiners and marketers,
and immunity from legislative
concerned in two things: First
in preventing violations of the
antitrust laws: second, in red
ucing and preventing waste.
While constantly striving for
these two detectives, it should
lend it's assistance IN every leg
ltimate manner to aid the indi-
vidual oil producers in settling
their production and marketing
problems within the industry
itself.
