OIL CONVENTION
FEBRUARY 1916
HERMAN HOTEL WILL BE
THE II EA D @ U A r ERS
FOR GAS DEALERS

Westland Oil company officials
are busy making preparations for
the annual sales meeting and con-
vention which will be held in
Wolf Point at the Sherman hotel
on February Is and Is. Agents,
statesmen and other officials of the
company will gather in Wolf Point
at that time for a series of lee
lures, inspirational talks and the
various selling features of com
pany gatherings.
Wolf Point was the scene of their
convention last year and it is
with pleasant memories that
those who attended either the
business meetings or the social
events look back on that conven-
tion.
A Live Concern
The Westland employees and of
ficials represent a progressive, up
to-date concern which is striving
to give the public real service and
substantial product. During the
last two years Westland has
opened up a series of service sta
tions in this section of the state
which are equipped with the best
materials for service station use.
The famous Red Hat trade mark
sign of the Westland product is
well known to users of gasoline
throughout northeastern Montana.
One of the Westland stations is
in Wolf Point and is managed by
e. b. Styer.
Invitation
In communication received
this week by Secretary Gordon of
the Commercial club from Joseph
B. Townsend, supervisor of sales
for the Westland company, an in
vitation is extended to the mem
bers of the Commercial club to at
tend the day time meetings of the
convention. A cordial invitation
to the business men of Wolf Point
and their ladies to attend the big
Westland dance is also accorded.
The high school boys and girls
are not included in this invitation
owing to the limited size of the
Palm room of the Sherman hotel
where the dance will be given.

LOSES FINGERS IN MACHINE

Theodore ROthe, an employee on
the Nieman dairy ranch was the
victim of an EXTREMITY painful ac-
cident last Friday. The ends of
the fingers on his right hand were
cut off in a feed cutting machine
The cut was between the first and
second joints and was as clean as
a surgeons instruments could have
made it. For several days he was
in great pain from the accident
but this week the wound is heal
ing and he is suffering but little.

The date for arguing the Schlaps
case before the state supreme
court has been changed from Feb
ruary IA to February "a, according
to word received this week by
county attorney Hugh ~ Marion.
This change was made probably
because Howard Lewis of Plenty
wood. an attorney for the defense,
is in a district court term at
Plentywood which will convene on
the 14th.

DOWNS ANTELOPE
SCORE IA TO II
FRIDAYS BASKETBALL GAME
PROVES A REAL THRILL
LER FOR THE FANS

Fiercely contested from start to
finish and one of the most eX-
citing ever played on the local
floor was the game won by Wolf
Point from Antelope Friday night,
ia to IL. Both teams displayed
plenty of good playing and hard
fight. Cool head work by the To-
cal boys and especially by Charley
Rathert, who was high point man,
went a long way towards keeping
the long end of the score on the
Wolf Point side. The breaks were
against both teams on basket
shooting. Many times during the
game and at both goals the ball
hit either the ring of the basket
or the back board and then bounc-
ed to the floor without making a
score.
Free Throws
Antelope was more successful on
free throws than the Wolves. A
number of fouls were called on
both sides. Antelope converted
on three of them but the local
boys failed to make any conver-
sions.
First Quarter
The first quarter of the game
ended to 0, despite many well
executed plays, several of which
were very close and would have
resulted in scores had the basket
shooting been a little more ac-
curate. The ball was played from
one end of the floor to the other
with such rapidity that it was diff
ficult to follow.
Second Quarter
The second quarter ended to
4 tie, Kay Lang making the first
basket for the locals and Charley
Ratlert with a long, carefully
planned shot from the center of
the floor making second one.
Last Half
The third quarter ended to 4,
in favor of Wolf Point. With the
beginning of the last quarter Ante
lope made desperate attempts to
catch up with their opponents.
Wolf Point made three baskets
and Antelope two baskets and
three free throws converted. Dur
ing the third quarter Harvey Vim
son injured his hand and was tax
en- out of the game.
Preliminary
A preliminary was played by the
first and second girls teams. The
members of the first team who
plaved were Vera Smith, Margaret
and Una Randall, Halle Chapman
and Clyta Cnsker. The second
string players were Jovita Tolks-
dorf, Irene Montgomery, Abbey
McClammy, Rosemary Courchene,
and Elida Smith with Aagot Kol-
den and Theo Wright as substi-
tutes.

panied here by their coach, Mr.

WINTER SPORTS
DRAW CROWDS
JUNIOR CLAYTON. WILFRED
SMITH, HOWARD BECHTEL
ARE PRIZE WINNERS

The skiing tournament held on
the hills northwest of town Sunday
afternoon proved a decided success
and was thoroughly enjoyed both
by the large number who entered
the contest and by a crowd esti-
mated to number several hundred
who witnessed it. O. G. Johnson
sponsored the event and was in
general charge of it. Mr. Johnson
mas expressed himself as well
pleased with the turn out and says
that he hopes there will be an
other tournament in the near fu-
ture, providing weather conditions
are satisfactory.
The Winners
To facilitate matters and make
the Judging more fair the entries
were divided into three classes.
The first class included those be-
tween the ages of FIVE years and 8
years; the second class from 10
to ii years and the third class
from IA to IS. Junior Clayton won
the prize offered in the first group,
a pair of red sport stockings. Will
fred Smith won a leather belt,
the trophy for the second group.
In the third group there We're
three contestants whose perfor-
nance ranked about equally. AS
each new obstacle was placed on
the course they overcame it with
ease. Finally to decide between
them the distance of their jump
was measured and it was found
that Howard Bechtel jumped the
furtherest. The other two with
him were Kermit Smith and
Floyd Hanson Howard received
a sweat shirt, decorated in col
ors as his prize.
Large Crowd
The spectators were both sur
.prised and pleased to note the
skill with which the boys managed
their skis. Many of the hazards
were quite difficult and required
experience and headwork to ma
vigate them. During the course
OF the tournament a large crowd
gathered The penetrating east
wind, however, caused many of
them to leave before the contest
was finished
The entries in the first division
were Junior Clayton, G. Homrig-
haus, Donald Worth Johnson, Tom
Saunders, Curtis Ditmarson and
Robert Huxsol
Second division: Robert Cour-
shene, Howe Klatte, Elmer GIFTS,
Ralph Ferguson, Leo Pipal, Elmer

IOWA GIRL WANTS
MONTANA SCHOOL
IF APPLICATION is GAUGE
OF ABILITY SHE HAS a
LOT TO LEARN

The following article is taken
from a recent number if the Mir
NAL College Index published at
Dillon and is self-explanatory.
Apparently written in all sim
cerity, yet vaguely suggesting a
keen but mistaken sense of hui
NOR, the application, if it may be
regarded as such. falls so far
short of it's purpose that com
ment is unnecessary. A pupil in
the upper grades in Montana
would have little trouble in writ
ing more comprehensive and con
vincing letter. to say nothing of
the grammatical errors embodied.
In fact it is doubtful if one aspir-
ing to be a teacher could be so
ignorant of the conditions and ed
ucational qualifications for teach
ing in the state. Unless the letter
is faxed, the applicant has many
years of preparation before she
becomes the holder of a Montana
certificate.
