Several attempts failed before the boat crew reached the side of the Paraguay. then half filled with wa ter. and took off her sailors.
 The storm that drove the Cibao aground almost frustrated the res. cue of her crew. The Ingenuity of the life savers, however. won out over the waves that threatened to dash the coast guard boats to pieces against the Cibao's sides every time they approached her.
 On shouted instructions from the guardsmen, the Cibao's c4 men tied ropes around their bodies and threw the loose ends into the wa ter. When the ropes were picked up by the guard boats. the steamers men leaped into the water. to be

EARLY SHIPPING
 MOST DESIRABLE
Express Agent Discusses Coming
 Christmas Rush

Because of the fact that Christmas
 Day falls on Sunday, the pleas of
 the transportation companies for the
 early shipping of Christmas pack
 ages this year have a real sig nifcance. It is desira ble that all de-
 liveries be completed by Christmas
 eve. making early shipping even
 more important in other yearse.
 This fact was emphasized in a statement made today by X. J. Caouette. agent of the American Railway Express company, in this city. He said;
 We are planning to clean Up our Christmas deliveries by Saturday night. as we know how keen is tho disappointment of the sendcrs of holiday packages, and the receivers
 as well. especially where there are children, if that collection of gifts from folks out Of town does not ar
 rive on time. We intend to do our part in making it a Merry Christ mas"
 A few days before Christmas. ac- cording to Mir. Caouettc. the regular commercial holiday business is over and the express employees arc all set and eager 10 handle the traffic of a personal nature going 10 private
 homes. Tn this work, they See tho
 real spirit of Christmas reflected, as
 most families have trees lighted or
 In the process of trimming them.
 By proper packing and careful and accurate addressing of holiday shipments, much delay in delivery will be avoided. Mir. Caouette points out, that when a shipment is started right. its prompt handling and de llvering is practically assured. The
 need for giving the full street and number in addresses, particularly when shipments are going to con- signees in large cities, is an impor-
 tant factor to consider in marking" gift packages.
 Despite the appeal for early ship ping. there are some people who, by
 habit or unforeseen circumstances, will wait until the very last minute in getting off their gifts by express. This year for the first time in the history of the service, a new high speed method Of trans5 ortation is available. II is the Air Express Serv- ice, inaugurated lest September. pro- viding movement by airp1ane on the transcontinental air lines. Even though a city may not be an airport, it is still possible for Christmas ship | pers to use that service by utilizing eXpres 10 reach the nearest airport
 On the other hand, shipments can be sent by plane to the airport near est the destination point and connec- | tion made by rail express. When an air express package arrives in town,

Sid Blair, pioneer registered
seed grower of Culbertson has re-
ceived an order for one-half bushel
of registered marquis wheat to be
sent to- Herr j. P. Noren, Skedlo,
Njurunda, Sweden. AS a money

of seed, express, insurance and
other expenses connected with such
a shipment to foreign country,
Mr.. Blair says that the order will
be filled at once. 1t is estimated
that the total cost for the half
bushel will be about s12, giving
this particular lot valuation of
s25 per bushel when delivered in
Sweden.
Mr.. Blair has been producing
registered marquis wheat for a
number of years and has sent seed
to many states but this is the first
order to be received from foreign

NARROW ESCAPE

a party of we'll known Southside
residents had narrow escape from
serious injury last Saturday after
noon when the auto in which they
were riding skidded from the road
and was so badly damaged it could
not be driven the rest of the way
into town. The accident occurred
two miles south of Wolf Point.
The thawing weather Saturday
made the roads very slippery and
when the car skidded it got entirely
beyond the control of the driver.
Fortunately the occupants of the
car, Mrs. B. C. Fleenor, her daugh-
ter Mrs. Sylvester Dillon, and her
son Ted were uninjured and after
leaving the machine came to town
with friends.

McNARY-
BILL IS VETOED

Washington, Feb. 25.-The Nc
Nary-Haugen farm relief bill, the
proud handiwork of the western
farm bloc and the southern demo
Gratis, was consigned to the waste
basket Friday by Presidential We
to-
With it died all hope OF general
farm legislation at this session of
congress. The senate will vote
Saturday on the question of over
riding the veto, but the process
will be merely a gesture. No one
expects the bill to muster the two
thirds now necessary for passage.
What its supporters do expect
is that the roll call will give notice
to the White House that they have
not surrendered, but are prepared
to accept the issue. A new battle
over new McNary- Haugen bill is
promised when congress meets
again next December, and politi-
cal leaders on both sides are pre-
pared to see the contest carried
over into the 1928 campaign.
Economic Folly"
President Coolidge took his stand
against the bill in unequivocal
fashion. In long veto message
dissecting the measure he declared
it an economic folly" TO attempt
to regulate farm surpluses by levy
ing an equalization fee on basic
farm commodities pronounced the
discriminatory because it
did not apply to all farm products;
and said in plain terms that it was
q scheme for price fixing that
would raise the cost of living and
would not benefit the farmer For
good measure, he sent along to
he capitol an opinion by Attorney
General Sargent, declaring the bill
unconstitutional in its vital pro-
visions, in his opinion.

Champion Eve Owned
By Malta Rancher

Malta-James Garthofner, alfal-
ia and sheep king of the Missouri
brakes, was in Malta recently with
alfalfa seed. He has a three-year-
old eve that holds the world re-
cord of litter of seven lambs.
If there is another eve in the world
that has exceeded this record the
owner would do well in getting in
to communication with Mr. Garth
ofner at once, as he is ready to
pay lots of real money for such an
eve. Some of the ewes of the
Garthofner band produced four
lambs and only one had less than
three. Next year Jim says he will
show the sheepmen of eastern Mon
tana lambing record running
around 400 per cent.

.DITMARSON TO
BUILD STATION
FORD DEALER COMPLETING
PLANS FOR BUILDING,
MAIN AND FOURTH

II. c. D1tmarSOn, manager OF
the Motor Sales company and Ford
dealer in this city. announced on
his return from Minneapolis last
week that he expects to erect a
first class service station on the
southwest corner at Fourth and
Main streets. This is one of the
most advantageous locations in
town for a service station as it is
at the intersection of the street
coming from the depot and the
Roosevelt highway.
Up-To-Date Plant
Mr.. Ditmarson purchased the
corner lot from the Eastern Mon
tana Security Company some time
ago. a part of the purpose of his
recent trip to Minneapolis was to
purchase service station equip
ment and discuss plans for the
construction work The building
will be of brick or frame and stuc-
co and the estimated cost of con-
struction will be between $4,000
and $4,000, Definite plans for the
form of the building and its ar
rangement have not been com
pleted but Mr. Ditmarson's present
plans call for a structure that will
be up-to-date in every way and a
creditable addition to the best busi-
ness places of the city.
A Prosperous Firm
H. C. Ditmarson came to Wolf
Point eight years ago, and during
the time of his residence here has
been among the most active of
the auto dealers. Motor Sales is the
Ford dealer and enjoys
a lucrative business with the sale
of Fords and Fordsons and also
fine oil, general garage and repairs
business. 1t deals in Pure Penn
oils and will retail this line of
products through the prospective
service station. 1t might also be
that the Motor Sales
pay roll is the largest in Wolf
Point at the present time. AD ac-
tive member of the Commercial
club and interested in all projects
which are for the development of
the city he has always been iden
-ified with local progress.

Mark District Meet AS One OF Best-Poplar Gives
Wolves Close BattIe-Game BY Game Story.

+ Undefeated for the entire sea-
son, the Wolves returned to Wolf
Point from the district tournament
at Bainville with three more sca1ps
at their belt and the district cham
pionship as an additional trophy.
In a district meet which has been
characterized as one of the most
successful ever staged in this sec
tion of the state, marked all the
way through by clean sportsman
ship on the part of all concerned,
with all the necessary machinery
in smooth working order, the
Wolves covered themselves with
glory.
The three games which the
Wolves played and won were with
Plentywood, q to II; Poplar, 12
to 8; and the championship game
with Plentywood, 2S to 16. The
regular Wolf Point lineup was
used; Boob" Moore at center;
Charley Rathert and Fred LaRoque
at guards; Kay Lang and Claude
Nichol at forwards. Werner Schrei-
ber and Harvey Vinson were the
subs and both got their share. of
playing at various times.
Poplar 80; Outlook 22
In the first game Thursday night,
Outlook was beaten, 1922, by the
fast Poplar team. The game was
fast, but II fouls, 10 by Poplar
and Z by Outlook, marred the con-
test. In the first quarter, by SUI
perior team work and basket shoot
ing Poplar amassed eight points
while Outlook could get but three.
Outlook, considered by many to be
a dark horse, was completely up
in the air and seemed unable to
hit its stride Poplar on the
other hand played steady basket
ball all the time and always had
the game we'll in hand.
Towards the end of the second
quarter Outlook rallied and played
the game for all they were worth.
In the third quarter they started
a desperate rally, but were stopped
by the Poplar guards.
Antelope 30; Scobey 10
In the second game of the even
ing Scobey was beaten, 3O-1O, by
Antelope. The game was very fast
but like the first was spoiled by
19 fouls. Eight were made by
Scobey while Antelope made IL.
During the first half Antelope was
decidedly off form The floor
work and passing were fair but
their basket shooting was far be-
low standard. Scobey, substituting
for Saco, played good passing
game and held their heavier op-
ponents down fairly well. At half
time the score stood 1877 in favor
of Antelope. In the second half An
telope struck its stride and be-
gan to make baskets from every
position on the floor. The passing
was almost perfect and Scobey was
unable to get through the defense
for field basket, three free throws
were made.
