The Missouri Will Be Bridged
(Editorial)

bridge across the Missouri River at Wolf Point
will be built and without very great delay That
was the confident opinion at the close of Tuesdays
bridge activities of those who are promoting and
pushing the project. There are so many united
forces at work, determined to carry this enterprise
on to its consumation that it cannot fail
Bridging the Missouri is financial and engineer
ing undertaking of large proportions even when it
is on the Federal highway system, when considera-
ton is taken of the great amount of highway i'm
provements to be made and the funds available for
the purpose But it is not too great an undertaking
to accomplish and is confronted by no obstacles that
cannot be overcome. Through some one OF several
avenues that are possible, ways and means will be
found and the bridge will be built Let those who are
in the greatest need of the bridge preserve patience
end faith and rest assured that those in charge Of the
bridge campaign will be vgilant and tireless until
success is won.
The citizens of Wolf Point and the farmers of
McCone county, who naturally are the most vitallv
interested are grateful to the Highway officials, both
state and federal who have carefully investigated
the bridge situation the officials of the Great North
ern Railway who have been generous in their offers
of assistance and the from the numerous distant
points who proved their interest and readiness to CO.
operate by attending Tuesdays conference to ex-
press their enthusiasm and good will.

SENATOR WHEELER DESCRIBES
ORIENTAL WAYS, CONDITIONS
TOUR YIELDS MATERIAL FOR
ENLIGHTENiNG LECTURE
SEES WARMING TO U. S.

"You need have no fear of a
war with Japan" said Senator B.
K. Wheeler, speaking to a good
sized crowd in the Sherman Palm
room here Tuesday evening upon
conditions in the Orient. Japan
will never make war on the Unit
ed States, and no one knows it
better than her own people. Jap
an needs this country as a market
for her products. If the United
States were to withhold her bust
ness from Japan that nation
would go bankrupt. This talk of
war is propaganda, pure and sim
pie circulated by those who make
money from the manufacture of
munitions and battleships."
Senator Wheeler had not intend
ed speaking here, but when he and
Mrs. Wheeler stopped off for a
time en- route from Scobey to
Glasgow he was prevailed upon
by his friends to make a talk here
in the evening. He also spoke to
the high school Wednesday morn
ing before leaving for Glasgow.
In both addresses he told enter
tainingly of the trip which
he and Mrs. Wheeler took this
summer to the Orient, and des-
cribed conditions as they found
them
AS a member of the Senate, Mr..
Wheeler is interested in matters
pertaining to foreign countries
with which the United States has
trade relations, and is particularly
interested in those countries
which afford, or will in the future
afford a potential market for our
surplus of manufactured goods.
For this reason he made an ex-
tensive tour of Europe a year or
so ago, and this year visited the
Islands of the Philippines, China
Korea and Japan, in order that he
might study conditions first-hand

THE Big PARADE

WITH ASTONISHING AND
DRAMATIC FIDELITY
John Gilbert Reaches Heights of
Career as Doughboy Hero
Of StalIings Story

Spectacular, entertaining and
convincing! Never has the screen
offered anything to compare with
"The Big Parade, King Vidor pro-
duction for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
starring John Gilbert, which will
be at the Liberty Theatre Nov. 5,
6, and Z, Sat-, Sun, and Mon, also
matinee Saturday, Nov. 5, 3 pm.
1t is a picture that will haunt
the memory forever.
To see this amazing film is to
live through the period of the
great conflict as only those who
reached the front lived through it.
The hundreds of tales told by the
veterans themselves and the
of books written about
the war pale into insignificance
before these vital, glowing, richly
scenes of an American
adventures in France.
Director Vidor and Laurence
author of "The Big Par
ade," himself a veteran who con-
tributed a leg to the cause, have
created at least four authentically
human characters in telling his
story: Jim Apperson, the films
central figure, superbly played by
John Gilbert; Slim and Bull, his
buddies, irresistibly brought to
life by Karl Dane and Tom o.
Brien, and Melisande, a French
peasant girl delightfully."- protrayed
by Renee Adoree. These four
characters move through the
of the war in scenes
that, whether comic or tragic, are
always profoundly fascinating.

BANDITS ROB
OUTLOOK BANK
BANDITS GET S2145 IN THIRD
DAYLIGHT HOLDUP-
FIRE SHOTS ..

Four unmasked bandits held up
the Security State Bank at Out
look at about ten o'clock Tuesday
forenoon and got away with $2145
in cash and currency. Leaving
the bank they found a number of
the citizens lined up outside, some
of them armed. A number of shots
were exchanged. None of the
Outlook citizens were hit, but it
was rumored that the driver of
the bandit car, a Chrysler sedan,
with one window broken out, was
struck by a bullet.
According to Frank Koester,
cashier of the bank, the procedure
of the robbers was much the same
as the methods used by the band
it's who held up the Froid anC
Flaxville banks. Three men
dressed as working-men, with a
few days growth of whiskers on
their faces, entered the bank and
ordered the bank employees and
the seven customers in the bank
at the time, to get down on the
floor. One of the men gathered
up the money. Then the bank
employees and customers were
herded into the vault, but in their
haste to get away the bandits did
not turn the dial on the vault
door, so the bank men got out i'm
mediately after. The men who
entered the bank are said to
weigh about 1SO pounds each. One
of them was described as tall and
dark and the others as of medium
complexion. The Chrysler they
