HOME MADE MOVIES TO
ADVERTISE WILLISTON

While at Williston last Sunday
The Herald man, through the cour-
tesy of DR.. Baker and others, had
the pleasure of meeting DR.. Meri-
wether Lewis Anderson and his
charming daughter, Miss Sarah
Anderson, a direct descendant of
Meriwether Lewis, who, with Cap
tain Clark explored the Missouri
river 122 years ago. Miss Ander-
son had the honor,at the dedica-
ton services, July 1st, of christen-
ing the Lewis and Clark bridge
just completed near Williston by
breaking a bottle of pure Missouri
river water over one of it's mas
sive girders.
DIR. Baker is pursuing the very
useful hobby of taking motion pic
lures of interesting objects and
scenes in his city and community.
Sunday DR.. Anderson and his
daughter were about to depart on
their journey to their home IN
Richmond, Virginia, and were IN
vited together with the others in
the group to the Grand theatre
where a sample reel of these
were shown. The pictures
proved excellent indeed and were
intended to show what might be
expected of the movies taken of
the services of dedication and the
great pageant and the attendant
events.
DR.. Anderson was emphatic IN
his expression of genuine surprise
and delight at finding such won
derfully productive and prosper

west. He said he had not expect
ed anything of the kind or he |

EAST END BOVINE
T.B. FIGHT STARTS
TUBERCULOSIS ERADICATION
CAMPAIGN OPENED ON
JULY 5TH

With the arrival of DR.. o. r.
Burket, Federal Veterinarian, who
started tuberculosis eradication
work in the northeast corner of
Roosevelt county, July 5th, the
campaign to test all cattle in the
county for this disease is actively
under way. DR. Burket hopes to
test several hundred head prior
to harvest, and, with the assist
ance of other veterinarians from
the bureau of animal industry,
plans to test all cattle east of the
Muddy later in the fall. Testing
work will be stopped as soon as
harvest is on and interferes.
tuberculosis eradication among
cattle was requested a year or
more ago and arrangements to
have all cattle tested were started
at that time. Delays in getting
men and appropriations to carry
on the work have necessitated
postponing the work until the pre-
sent.
A survey among the farmers in
the east end of the county shows
that they are keenly interested in
the work and will give Dr. Burket
their whole-hearted assistance in
making the test complete.

nth AT VIDA
WAS BIG DAY
IMMENSE CROWD ENJOYS DAY
FULL OF ENTERTAINMENT
VIDA WINS GAME

Vida and community again made
good on their promise of big cele.
bration. Seldom if ever has a
larger crowd gathered at the busy
little burg for a Fourth of July
program. The attendance was
variously estimated at from 5000
to 5000. The forenoon threatened
rain which kept quite a few from
the north side of the river from
attending, but the weather finally
turned clear and warm.
Sports Program
The big program of varied sports
held the attention of the crowd un-
til about two o'clock when the
ball game between Circle and
Vida began. The contest was a
scoreless struggle for the first six
innings and then the Vida slug
gers broke loose for a flock of
runs. In the last inning Circle
made valiant attempt to even
things up but fell short. The final
oSOl was W II was d very
well played, free from disputes.
Connie Schenkenberger and Ed
Prendergast of Wolf Point played
with the Vida team.
After the ball game there was
a bucking contest, and the dance
at the hall was, of course, the at
traction of the evening. Some of
the northsiders who stayed for the
dance expecting to return in the
early morning, were unable to get
across the river because the high
wind stopped ferry service. Some
went to either Oswego or Poplar
where the smaller ferries were
able to cross. A few had the mis-
fortune to spend good part of
the 5tb on the ferry which got |

Golfers At Richey
Sunday, July 10th

The local golfers have accepted
an invitation to play at Richey
next Sunday. Richey has a sporty
course and some very good play
ers. When the Wolf Point fans
played there last year the Wolves
won by a margin of only IL points
and came back enthusiastic over
the course. 1t is hoped that a
good bunch will turn out for the
trip Sunday. Those who plan to
go, should leave their names at
Huxsol's.

MONTANA WOLVES
LOCAL GOLFERS TRIMMED:
WAIT TILL WE GET 'EM
ON OUR 7 HILLS

A dozen members of the Wolf
Point golf club went to Williston
last Sunday for the regular an.
nual match with Williston players
and met defeat by % strokes. The
total scores being Wolf Point 791,
Williston 1853. The best scores for
Wolf Point were made by Davey,
who turned in q 81 for the 18
holes and DR.. Burgess, whose score
was 80. Nearly all the players on
both teams turned in cards far
above their usual scores as con-
ditions were bad Tor good golf
This was on account of the high
wind and troublesome grass on the
fairways and in the rough. The
Wolf Point players, however, had
their greatest trouble on the
green's which, while very good, are
entirely different as to surface
from the Wolf Point green's. The
result of the match was determin-
ed by comparing the best eight
scores OF edcn team.
Davey Wins Two
The prize offered by the Conlin-
Johnson Hardware company for
the low 1S-hole score and the prize
of the Williston Drug Co. for the
low 9-hole score by visiting play
ers were both won by ]. L. Davey.
The Model Clothing company
prize for the low total for 18 holes
by any player was won by Urness
of Williston.
Match Here Path
The Williston club will play the
return inter-city match on the
Wolf Point course on July oath.
Several of the Wolf Point players
were accompanied by their fami-
lies and all enjoyed a very pleas
ant day as they always do when
they go to Williston. At least one
car, that of John Cook, while en-
route home drove to the Lewis
and Clark bridge across the Mis-
souri,, which was dedicated on the
first, and drove over the bridge
and back again. 1t is a beautiful
structure of greater length than
will be necessary at Wolf Point.

This week has brought both
benefit and damage to the wonder

night an electric storm brought
rain and destructive hail over an
east and west strip about 80 miles
north. While the territory hit

have been about three miles wide.
Not all the fields within this belt
were hit and the damage in the
fields is said to have varied from
ten to 100 per cent.
Insured
1t is believed that large ma
iority of the farmers suffering
damage carried hail insurance on
all or part of their crop. Some
were insured with old line COM
panies and some with the state. A
complete list of those suffering
damage is not available but AS
SCISSOR Clayton mentions the fol-
lowing as being insured with the
state: Ben Zimmerman, Carl

are many others.
Valuable Rain

great value soaked the soil over

THEY'RE ALL DOING 1T;
SCOBEY PAPERS UNITE

Scobey. With last weeks issue
the Scobey Sentinel and the Dani-
els County Leader appeared as a
consolidation of the two publica-
tions, to be known as the Daniels
County Leader and the Scobey
Sentinel. Burley Bowler, editor of
the new publication and former
editor of the Leader, has purchas-
ed the business, printing plant and
subscription list of the Sentinel
from Juls j. Anderson, who has
conducted the Sentinel for more
than a year and who purchased it
from the Farmers Publishing Com
pany about eight months ago.
In a statement by Mr.. Anderson,
he said "This move was found
necessary because of the fact that
Scobey is not large enough, nor is
Daniels county, to adequately sup
port two good newspapers Publi-
cation of the Sentinel has been at
a loss for a number of months
and as the Leader was elected Of
fetal newspaper for the next two
years, the publisher of the Sentinel
felt that the best interests of the
community would be served if the
two papers could be merged on
non-political basis"
Editor Bowler writes: at has
been evident for some time that
one newspaper in Scobey and
Daniels county was all that could
continue in business. Fixed ex-
penses were exceeding revenue of
the publishers. The time for a
change was past due. APPROX
mately 1000 subscribers gives the
consolidated newspaper one of the |
largest subscription lists in the |
Montana weekly newspaper field"
